Plenty of Rain.
Governor Mann's Request for
Prayer Nearly Washed
Away Property of
One Man.

Richmond, Va, July 2l.-
From many sources Gov. Mann
has heard echoes of his procla-
nation of last week calling upon
the people of Virginia to pray
for rain. Although Secretary
Ben Owen used his usual dis
patch in issuing the proclama-
ton, he could not secure the
blotting of the ink on the gov
ernor's signature before the
heavens opened and the floods
descended upon Richmond.
From nearly every part of the
state comes news of refreshing
rains.
Roanoke is kicking because
no results were obtained there.
Many good natured comments
have been made on the unusual
action of the governor by news
papers in all parts of the coun-
try, and plenty of the people
have spoken to the executive
about it.
But it was at farmers
meeting at Galloway, Franklin
county, on Saturday that Gov
Mann heard the most forcible
comment. One old farmer who
came to the meeting said to a
friend, who told the executive:
That old man in Richmond
sent word to ull the preachers
Ill the state to pray for rain
and it id nigh washed us
away"

Every man expects a pretty good suit when he pays from s25 to s2s.50 for it and surely he has a right to expect quite great deal at these prices; tail. bring and wcolens should be of very good quality-but to get the same values al from five to eight dollars less should be Sn extra inducement This is what we have done here-cut quite deeply into the original prices of such fine clothes as Hirsch, Wiekwire & Co Hart, ScbafTner & Marx and Alfred Benjamin Ss Co.-three of the countrys foremost clothes-makers produce
 The quality Of the wooiens and the high class workmanship of these suita nlace them in the same class with the best custom made garments. All pre- dominating shades. Staple blues and Hack are not included.

Most men have a certain price in mind when they think of buying a suit If you are one of those fellows who thinks about sIS.50, S2000 or s22oO right will be pleased, perhaps to know that you can get one of those suits here during our sale at a saving of from three to seven dollars. The suits are made by makers of widespread clothing fame
 We think enough of them to claim thofl to be the best shown in Bisbee q, their respective prices. You could pay more but you wouldn't get a bit more style or real quality than is shown in these suits. All predominating shades in sizes for every man Staple blues and blacks are not included in this safe. All reductions here are exactly as we rerresent them to be. We do not exaEgerate original prices in order to make the reduction appear greater.

Our suits that regularly sell at from SIS up to s17.5O are, we have been told, the best values in the city at their regular prices. The price to which We have reduced them should make them doubly desirable. We foresaw 8 great demand for suits to sell at these prices and bought accordingly, mixing our selections with the same care which we take in buying all of our clothing
 You'll find these suits fully up to the mark which We have set in quality in popular priced clothing.

A WORK FOR MANLY MEN,

There Is lot Of little men in the
world. The smaller a man grows the
further he gets away from his own
hoyhood. The man who can not re-
member or desires to forget the play
time Of his early youth is a good sort
to watch.
II you will observe the man who
likes boys and whom boys like is the
kind to tie to. There is always much
good in a man when those shrewd
physiognomists, children and dogs, like
and trust him.
One Of the best thing President Taft
has done is to meet the organization
of Boy Scouts, Of which he is the head
in this country. half way. When a
delegation Of boys called on him to
invite his presence at the first scout
camp or armory' of a national char
acter to be held in America he met the
delegation in the spirit Of the organi-
cation and assured them that he would
be in his place if possible.
Theodore Roosevelt also will be at
the gathering; and Teddy will be boy
with the boys. Imagine a campfire OF
welt telling stories of the wilds of
Africa, Of charging lions and mad
dened hippopotami He never has had
such an audience in all his life of great
audiences and never had one more
filled with all the possibilities of citi-
zenship and service.
What Roosevelt and Taft can find
time and inclination to do other manly
men should do. There is great work
for real men in the boy scout move
ment. There is opportunity to teach
and lead, to make manlier men and
more public spirited citizens. The
organization Is redolent with the idea
of public service. 1t is opportunity for
good men who have not forgotten their
own toyhood and God.
The boy scout movement needs men,
real men. The boys are ready. No
fourhushers need apply. The boys will
hnd them out before the first day is
over. The men needed must not have
forgotten how to play. Upon that re-
meinbrancs they must have character

Now when these youngsters are hauled

A GREAT AND CRUEL WRONG.

There Is at present before the Cnlteu
States supreme court case, the de-
cision in which will either wonderfully
strengthen or irrevocably weaken the
federal food and drugs act. O. A. john
son. a mail order cancer-cure operator,
shipped some of his nostrums in inter-
state commerce The labels on these
preparations bore the statement that
they would cure cancer. The govern
ment brought suit, under the food and
drugs act, declaring Johnson's nos
truns misbranded in that the state
son fought the case, and 1T has finally
reached the supreme court of the
United States. He insists that the food
and drugs act was intended by con-
of medicines and not with their thera-
peutic value When the case was be-
ing argued two or three days ago be-
fore the justices of the supreme court,
Solicitor General Lehman maintained
that in drawing up the food and drugs
act, congress recognized that 1t was
just as important to deal with the cur
alive effects of medicines as with their
ingredients.
Solicitor Lehman was right. There
Is need OF federal and state law OF
stringent character against the I'M
speakable graft which fattens on the
dying. Everyone OF ordinary intelli-
gence knows that no cure for cancer
has been discovered. Malignant can
Ger kills. It is one Of the diseases
against which all medical science Is
helpless. There should be law which
would deny ghouls their present priv
ilege to fAttsn their purses at the ex-
pense and to the utter disappointment
of the afflicted.
Doctors disagree; but on the matter
reputable medical men of all schools
agree-cancer medicines are fakes and
most cancer specialists takers. 1t is
a concensus of agreement of which
lawmakers and law interpreters must
take heed. The cancer crook should be
put out Of business or into the pent-
Tertiary.
1t is not question of the physicians
ancient feud against proprietary medi-
cines. The cancer and tuberculosis
fakes are outside the pale Of legitimate
medicine patent or professional. To
permit them to operate is to indorse
a great and cruel wrong.

Ambassador Hill resigned his post

The democrats in congress are onto

1t is quite a satisfaction to know
that the democrats in Iowa have found

There have not been enough losses

Between the fellows who are dam

that the Canadian pact is in for a

Out of 491 members Of congress all
but sixteen voted in favor OF the cleo

one of the sixteen afterwards apollo

The muck rakers in Illinois should
