CuIberson and Bailey.

Senator Charles A. Culberson. of
Texas, has issued a statement roundly
scoring those democrats who opposed
the admission Of New Mexico and
Arizona during the closing days of the
last session because the Arizona con-
stitution contained the initiative, refer
endum and recall The statement
marks the widening of the breech be-
tween Senator Culberson and Senator
Bailey, who opposed the admission of
the states and resigned from the SEN
ate. only to reconsider his resignation
within six hours, because a majority
of the democrats had followed Senator
Owen in voting favorably on the adj
mission of the two states. Senator
Culberson said that the democrats in
the senate should combine in favor Of
admitting the two states. He said in
part: First believe the two terri
tories have the requisite population
and are entitled 10 admission mo the
Union a. an original question. Second
The democratic national platform OF
1908 declared for their immediate ad-
mission and pledged the party 20 that

and deny admission 70 Arizona would
give an unjust and undese-yed a5yar-

standardizine in Education.

OF all the dangers in American life
today there is none more serious than
that which turks in the scheme Of
Standardization. Standardization is the
Abe of tyranny, and its pace is in a
geometrical ratio.
Raising standards OF life is glorious;
trying to crystalline life is damnable.
Raising standards is never standard
iizing. Raising standards Is projecting
efficiency Standardization is petrifac-
ton Life is never standardized; only
the inorganic can crystalline.
There is no such thing as petrified
wood. That which goes by that name
has no more trace of organic life than
| has the frost forest on the window,
That which we call petrifled wood is
purely a mineral substance that has
taken the place of the wood replacing
every fiber so daintily and gracefully
as to leave every cell in perfect form,
retaining every finest tracery of fiber,
| though not suspicion of anything IS
! there that was ever organic.
Standardization means the transfer
ence of live institution into one that
is inorganic Every trace of life is
removed, but it is done so delicately
/ that there remain even the very cells

GOOD NEWS FOR
CATARRH SUFFERERS

So many hundreds of catarrh vic
tins who have taken the HYOMEI
treatment, have written thanking us
for publishing our method OF taking
the HYOMEl vapor treatment in con
nection with the inhaler that we glad
lily publish it again,
The vapor treatment is especially
recommended in stubborn cases Of
chronic catarrh of long standing, but
remember that the inhaler should be
used daily as usual.
This treatment only takes five min
utes time before going TO bed Pour
Ia teaspoonful of HYOMEI into a bowl
OF boiling water, cover head and bowl
with towel and breathe for several
minutes the vapor that arises.
You will be surprised at the result
Of this treatment; it makes the head
feel fine and clear; you will sleep
better, and that stuffed up feeling will
gradually disappear
This method will break up the
worst cold in the head in one night.
A bottle of HYOMEI costs soc at
Il. J. jenkins, who guarantees it,.
Complete outfit. which includes the
little pocket inhaler costs $100.
No stomach dosing; just breathe

Biologists toll us that In prehis-
toric times the earth has gone
through a series OF cataclysms and
transformations making its appear
ance at one period almost unrecog-
nizable from its appearance at an
other. Since It's habitation by man
the earth has experienced slow and
violent changes of various kinds,
making It repeatedly necessary to re-
draw the map. Coast lines have been
submerged, volcanic mountains blown
off, islands have disappeared and
new islands formed, rivers have
broken into new courses, and great
lakes dried up
But these changes are to be ascribed
to the operations of natural causes.
What has been accomplished by the
hand of man is almost imperceivable,
for so puny are our efforts that few
human achievements have worked a
really noticeable change i'm the face
OF the earth. The great pyramids.
the dykes in the Dutch sea, the tun-
neling of the mountains to make way
for the railroads, the diversion of
rivers into artificial channels, the
storage of great bodies of water in
massive reservoirs are properly pro-
nounced marvels, but measured on
the terrestrial footrule they are but
feeble efforts.
It is by comparison, or contrast,
that two gigantic human enterprises
stand out above all others in their
transforming effect on the face of
the earth--the Suez canal, mingling
the waters of the Mediterranean and
the Red sea, and cutting asunder two
continents that the primeval forces
of nature had united, and the Panama
canal, which will mark a similar
epoch by merging the Atlantic and
the Pacific, and severing the physical
contact of the two great continents
of the western hemisphere. The
opening of the Panama canal will
change the map of the world, as it
has never been changed before ex-
cept by the opening of the Sues canal.
What future generations may ac-
complish in the transformation of
their earthly abode would be fool
hardy to attempt to predict. But it
is safe to say that even after the lapse
of centuries the digging of the
Panama canal will be ranked among
the wonders of the world, and be
credited to the dauntless energy and
unmatched resources of the people of
the United States.

tween denominations. But this new
endeavor on the part Of these asso-
ciated bodies oomprehends that and
in fields that are supplied with more
churches than they can support eff
forts will be made to merge some or
carnations, or to let one denomina-
tion sacrifice the field to another.
The spirit Of this certainly is com
mendable and will undoubtedly
arouse the admiration of the world
looking on. The tendency of evan
geiical churches to eliminate denom-
national lines wherever possible
helps TO exalt the church as a whole.
After all, while it is natural for men
to differ in their religious as well as
political views-they always have
and they always will-there is but
one gospel and one God and the
closer together the churches preach
ing that can come, the better for
their cause.

Teaches Girls to Shop.

Kansas will have to hurry II 1t pro-
poses to keep ahead OF Chicago in
running an up-to-date domestic sci
ence school. True, Kansas is doing
out the culinary wisdom to boys as
we'll as girls now, but Chicago has
added a novelty to it's curriculum,
which Kansas has evidently not yet
thought Of 1t is the art of teaching
young women how to shop, that is
how to get the most for the least
money-the finest sort of knowl-
edge for a young woman expecting
soon to have household of her own
to buy for. And this course is espe-
cially adapted to young women OF
that prediction. The idea is for
the girls to accompany their teacher
down into the markets and go right
at the business of buying, so their
experience will be practical and not
theoretical. The Chicago Tribune
thinks this is about the way 1t
would go:
Peddler-But l cannot sell the cabbage
for less than the IS cents.
Student consulting book Of instruc-
tious)-I will give you TO-
You can have it two for g. More
than that i cannot do. There is my
wife, miss. and the seven children. Ali
l cannot give II to you for less than 1
have SAID
II will give you TO-"
But, miss
IT will give you TO-"
ut will ruin me, miss. but will give
1t TO you for TO-" business of wrapping
up cabbage.)
"Ah-never mind, didn't wish to buy
it, you know"
What! The miss does not desire to
buy it?"
Gracious, no. 1 was just practicing
the fifth exercise Of the sixth lesson on
marketing as taught by the school OF
domestic" (Peddler faints)
Still, the idea has very utilitar-
ian face to it, Nothing is quite so
handy in a household of limited in
come as a working formula telling
how to get the better of your grocer,
or meatman or fruit peddler. If a
school could teach all that to young
women contemplating matrimony,
perhaps it would have an indirect in
fluence on the matrimonial market
that would be wholesomely stimu-
lating.

Good Move by Churches.

The church finds a large problem
especially for it's disposal in the rapid
growth and development of the west,
particularly those sections where ir-
rigation projects are peopling new
territories and evolving new condi-
lions of community life. 1t is the
problem of the rural church. And
the Home Missions Council, a body
composed of twenty-five general
home mission boards and societies Of
Protestant denominations, has adj
dressed itself to the solution of this
problem.
The first preliminary step to be
taken will be what is called a neg
lected field survey" that is, by con-
certed action the churches will survey
the field comprising several states
to find out exactly where more
churches are needed and where there
may be too many. 1t is expected to
devote one year to this survey and
the subject is to be studied from
every conceivable standpoint. Con-
ferenees are to be held in various
cities at various times for the ex'
change of information and ideas be-
fore anything is done toward actu'
ally supplying the needs.
In a recent circular Issued by thS
Home Missions Council the state
ment is made that There are jgTeat
numbers of neglected fields.I We
find in one western state 1873 town'
of from $50 to 1000 souls without
any Protestant religious wofk, 10(
of them being also without Roman
Catholic work. In additionito these
there are 42s communities OF sufh
cient Importance to have postoffices
but without any churches"
The church has been subjected Il
much criticism for having too man!
denominational organizations Il
small communities, but it has no
been arraigned very seriously by tn
world because it lacked organization
in new fields. Our American com
munity life is best promoted wher
there are well-managed and usefu
churches, but there is, indeed, or
portunity for much good, we believe

may be as much vanity as timidity.
though-the fear Of getting caught
on the wrong foot. And It Is not
altogether a bad thing, for It shows
that while we are vain, we do not
intend to be nor relish being 30 con-
sidered.
The popular newspaper and maya
zine have had much to do with this
tendency to follow the leader. Two
men meet in the car on their way
down town in the morning. 81 see
by the paper that Jones says so and
So" observes one. rs that so7"
replies the other. well, that's
strange, 1 noticed that Smith said
thus and SOL And, before making
up their own minds on the matter,
these two readers of the morning
paper set to determining between
themselves who is right, Jones or
Smith.
This is especially true in public
matters. So many men are or think
they are, too busy with their own pri-
vate business to bother about public
business, so they are content to ac-
cept the advice of one in whom they
have confidence. 1t is an experts or
specialists age and the man who
goes Into a subject thoroughly COM
mands confidence by his knowledge.
But yet the same rule holds good
vice versa in business or science Of
other kinds-we are prone to pick
out a leader and follow him. That
of course, involves the moral of pick
Ing the right sort of leaders.
