"CHARACTER BUILDING"

"Those which we style the natural
virtues, such as justice, truth, candor,
honesty, generosity, the social obli-
cations, etc., form the groundwork
both of good citizenship and genuine
religion. Without til m neither
Church nor State can thrive. They
are the best bulwarks of democracy.
In community destitute of them,
public and official corruption are
bound to prosper. Where they -four
ish strong and vigorous, oppression
and graft are foredoomed to speedy
death"
The foregoing is from the Balti-
more Sun, published in that hotbed
of injustice, dishonesty and race pre-
judice. If there is anything needed
in that God-forsaken city, it is char
acter. Many of it's Caucasian inhabi-
tants, although nominally Christians,
spend a lot of their time in devisins
schemes to humiliate and injure their
Afro-American brethren; the segrega-
tion law recently enacted being sam.
pie of their efforts in that direction
We trust that the efforts of the Sun
to build up character may be success
full, in order that the natural virtues
may prosper and Oppression be fore
doomed to speedy death" @

 Mrs. Charles H. Whaley, g Treadway Avenue. Norwich, Conn, says: Ever since my first experience with Doan's Kidney Pills some years ago I have valued them highly. Their use has saved me a great deal of suffering. My experience with various remedies, has taught me that many of them, while doing good in one way, will cause distress in another. Such is not true of Doans Kidney Pills, which I procured from N. D. Sevin & Sons Drug Store. They act solely upon the kidneys, and do not affect the other organs.

States etisnal to succeed EdSon 5. Bishop of Hartford and Norwich, was not unexpected in political circles since the defeat of the sheriff at the polls last November.
 Marshal Edson Bishops commission expired in December and his renomina- tion not being made at the usual time, the expectancy was that Senators Buukeley and Brandegee had someone else in view. Sheriff Hawley had al ways been staunch supporter of the senior senator, and Iabored hard fo- Senator Brandegee two years ago, as against Congressman Hill of his own county. In the recent senatorial can vass the sheriff was understood to be standing by his former choice and was an antiMcLean man. His defeat as sheriff, a position he had held for many years, bringing with 1t political power in his section of the state, was due to tho general trend of the vote to democratic candidates, to the Hctiv- ity of the socialists and to the disaf- fiction of republicans growing out of the sherifrs work against Congress man Hau in the senatarial fight of 1909.
 Edson g. Bishop has completed his third term as United State marshal, during which time about 1000 civil cases and in the neighborhood of 500 criminal cases have come under his supervisions He handled annually be- tween 3s,oOo and S10,o00 of govern mnet money. He was first apointed United States marshal on August s, 1893, under President Mckinley and has received two oreappointments since that time.
 He is at the present time department commander of the Grand Army of Con necticut and has long been prominent in that organization, as well as in the Sons of Veterans.
 MT. Bishop is a native of North Madison, Conn.,, where he was born May 5, 1S44. At the age of F years his parents moved to Iowa. MT. Bish- ops early school days were spent h, Guilford. He was also a pupil of Moses T. Brown at the Webtser school
