The Mcdonald pedigree traces back
to kings of Norway, taking in, by the

Alaster is the Gaelic form of Alex

McAllisters.
Archibald and Alexander are the
immigrants. Alexander came from
"Leup, off Argyllshire," to Whining
ton, N. c., 1876; two years later he
returned home to marry his sweet
heart, Mary McNeill, who died on the
voyage back. The romantic story
about his third wife Ito pass over
wife number two for a moment) is
that she was born on this voyage and
Alexander, at different times on the
way over, being annoyed by the
child's crying, said to the mother.

He received the sharp reply (and

1853, the baby of the voyage became
AleXander's wife, number three. She,
or was it the second one, was named
Flora Mcneil.
Alexander settled near Fayetteville,
N. c., and held many offices of trust.
He was colonel of the Cumberland
county militia, member of the provin-
cial congresses at Hillsboro, 1775, and
Halifax, 1875; one of the committee
OF safety and member of North Caro-
lima senate, 1887. He was n of the
elders of the Bluff church and many
generations of the family are buried

Scotland Archibald came. In 1870 he
owned about 800 acres in Cumberland
Valley, Pa, and his mill and part of
his house is still standing, or were a
few years ago. He was one of the
founders of the First Presbyterian
church of Carlisle. He held Office and
in 1749 was collector of taxes. His
wife was Jane Mcclure and his chill

BUSINESS AND BOOZE.

liquor for me, said Little Tim; I'm
out for business, and can't afford to
drink"
That's the real reason drunkenness
is decreasing-the realization that
booze and business do not go to-
gether. Those who follow the prin-
ciple ''if booze bothers your business
cut out the business" are growing
fewer every day, and the man who
now and then takes a friendly drink
with a friend is the same fellow who
under the old conditions would have
been the habitual "souse." Convince
a man to Little Tins belief-that he
can't afford to drink, that his physi-
cal and financial welfare, the latter
particularly, depend upon his abb
stinence-and you've administered a
lesson that will stay with him a sight
longer than the words 'be it enacted"
in the law books, or if you denounce
and criticise him and tell him he
mustn't drink Little Tim could hard
ly be called a model in some respects,
but he did have the drinking ques-
ton sized up about right.

WHY HE WAS IMPRESSED.

One of the most remarkable
speeches delivered in Toxic, says the
Savannah Press, was by a Japanese
baron several days ago. He be-
longed to the business mems party
which went through America recent
ly, and was greatly impressed, of
course, with the material progress of
our country.
But in Analysing it, continues The
Press, he had come to believe that
it was due only one-third to natural
resources and two-thirds to the en-
terprising, determined character of
the people, and in the development
of that character he had been i'm
pressed with the important part
played by the Young Mems Chris
tian Associations.
If, he declared, Japan's ability to
gain place alongside America in
material prosperity was solely de-
pendent on natural resources, then
Japan must give up in despair; but
since Americas prosperity rests
chiefly on character Japan must ex-
ert herself to develop men of similar
high character, a field where there
is neither monopoly nor limitation.
To develop such men the baron ex-
pressed the earnest desire that Young
Mems Christian Associations as eff
cient as those in America might be
multiplied in Japan.
Now, the Japanese are very
shrewd people. They are not espe-
eially partial to any form of religion.
But they are practical. and the chris
tian associations appeal to these bust
ness men as prominent factors in the
uplift of national character and as
real contributors to the elements of
national greatness.

LIBERTY OF THE PRESS
STILL LIVES"

1t was left to Theodore Roosevelt,
a man who played to the galleries
and catered in professions to the
masses more than any other presi-
dent the country ever had, to aim
detrimental and deliberate blow
at the traditional and constitutional
freedom of the press and of speech.
In discussing the failure of the pros
cution for libel of certain newspa-
pers by the former president the Ma
con Evening News strongly states the
case as follows:
The lettres de cachet with which
autocrats formerly consigned such of
their subjects to the bastiles as of

their tongues, otherwise known as

principle from the undertaking of
Mr.. Roosevelt as president to prose-
cute as crime against the govern
ment the criticisms of the Panama
canal transactions which reflected on
the course and conduct of the presi-
dent and his friends in this connec-
ton. With such a precedent once
established, as the success of this
prosecution would have established,
it is but truth to say that the entire
character of our epublican-demo-
cratic government would have been
changed Henceforth the citizen who
presumed to criticise or censure the
conduct of public servants would
do so at the peril of his liberty and
of his property.
But no one versed in our system
Of government, it's laws and consti-
tuition, regarded President Roose-
velt's course in institutiting this
prosecution seriously. No president
who understood or had any sincere
respect for the genius of our insti-
tutions would have committed such
a stupid piece of folly. The very
lawyers and governmental officials
who undertook to carry on the farce
must have known it was farce, and
must have foreseen the result as an

dictment against Editor Pulitzer of
the New York World by Judge
Hough in the United States district
court of New York"
Judge Hough's prompt action in
throwing the prosecution out of court
will no doubt preclude the possibility
of such a prosecution ever again
being instituted. Mr.. Roosevelt. if
libeled, has his private remedy in the
courts of his state common to him
and all other citizens. Lese majestic

eminent.

AN ALLY OF THE TRUSTS.

1t is generally accepted that ar
tifcial refrigeration has had good
deal to do with the entrenched po-
sition of the provision trusts and the
high cost of living. Dr. Wiley, the
government chemist, said few days
ago that eggs might safely be kept
in cold storage nine months and beef
four months. Butter, cheese and
other commodities are now similar
ly kept for months and months at
the freezing temperature, so that
there is no necessity for prompt mar
keting. If the cold-storage man
doesn't have to sell he can wait until
the market suits him. If the trusts
wish to put the market up or down
they can add to or draw from their
cold-storage reserves. Artificial re-
frigeration is unquestionably an eX-
cellent thing, but it gives "the inter-
ests" a tremendous power of manip-
ulation.
