one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity Catarrh being
n constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assist

DOING WORK FOR HUMANITY
Agencies for Beneficence In Indian
apoIis Have Established
Splendid Record.

1t is truly the altruistic age. Few,
indeed, are the men and women In
any community who do nothing for
others than themselves, either
through individual servic, or through
organization. In indianapolis the
agencies for beneflcence are perhaps
no more numerous than elsewhere,
but there are 30 many OF them as to
prove that wherever need OF service
Is discovered volunteers quickly arise
ready to render 1t.
There, for example, is the Christ
Child society, small and unpreten-
tious body formed but a year or 80
ago for the purpose of bringing hap
by Christmas to as many children as
possible who would otherwise be
without Joy on that day, each member
pledging herself to provide for one
child. To become interested In chill
dren for one cause Is to find more
than one reason for continuing that
Interest. Presently the society under
took to supply layettes for babies Tor
whose coming no preparation mad
been made, working in this case
through the Children's Aid associa-
ton so that no duplication would be
made The Importance of pure milk
appealed to 1t next, and last summer
1t became responsible for one of the
free milk stations. The needs OF the
italian colony came to Its attention,
and with the cooperation of the Nor
NAL college It has established a free
kindergarten there for little foreign
understanding Americans.--ln-

A Georgia bill to prohibit the mar
riage of habitual users of Intoxicating
liquors or drugs, and of persons af-
flcted with contagious disease, is at
tracing attention as a drastic measure.
1t is not Objectionable upon the score
OF stringency, but rather because it is
hardly practical.
To forbid the marriage of persons
whose physical condition is not such
that it is safe to others for them to
marry is perfectly practical. There is
little objection to it nowadays, although
there are still few persons whose
sentimentality causes them TO see
more tragedy in forbdding the mar
riage OF consumptives than in allowing
IT, But to forbid the marriage of
habitat users Of intoxicants is not
practical, The candidate for matri-
mony usually has the grace TO sober
up, or even to abstain, for period,
covering the date OF the wedding.
There is nothing to prevent his re.
turning to drink, but it would be ion.
possible TO prove him habitually O
drunkard at the time of his application
for license. The law might do nc
harm, but it could hardly do mucl
good.
About all that the law can do viii
regard to the whisky drinker or usej
OF drugs is to provide relief, through
divorce, for the other party TO the con
tract. Neither legislation nor advic,
can head off those who have high hop
Of reforming the drunkard. Will
the undertaking usually fails the rul
is not without exceptions, so, perhaps
II is well that sumptuary Legislation
cannot deprive the daring maid OF tn
right TO enter into rivalry with tn
rum demon and fight to a finish.

THURSDAY, jolly %, 1912.

Progressive and progressive De-
mocracy are terms which belong 10
that class of expressions, which have a
vague, if any, meaning and are attract
i've TO those statesmen, who annex no
ideas to their words" Even more at
tractive are they to the large number
of persons, male and female, who are
dabblers or dilettanti in politics.
The terms progressive Democracy
and non-progressive Democracy, have
no application whatever TO the historic
Democratic party. The distinctive
and peculiar characteristic OF real
Democrat, from the days of Jefferson
and Madison to the prs sent, is an I'M
shaken devotion to the constitution our
fathers made for us, strictly construed,
and the firm belief that its provisions
are broad enough for all legislative
needs. AS fact, it ever has been, is,
perhaps ever will be true, that what is
needed in all conditions in govern
mental life, is men-always few in
number-who comprehend the need or
necessity, and at the same time, have
the knowledge of older law and the
gift OF expressing legal ideas, absolute
" essential TO the framing Of a remed-
ial statute.
There is some core, obtainable by
reference to the history OF political
ideas, in the vague meaning of the
terms, progressive Democracy and nom
progressive Democracy, as used by the
statesmen, dabblers and dilettanti, to
whom we have alluded, and their
allies, the Socialists. The spirit of
Rousseau is in action in this the twen-
tieth century, Anno Donini. 1t acts
through Socialism The core is the
initiative and Referendum. 1t is the
in hoe signO pinceS Of the Socialists and
of all extreme political thinkers such
as Col. Roosevelt and unhappily, OF
too many others. Outside of this core,
and beyond il, all is dark. The dream
ers themselves know no more of the
terrible consequences Of license turn
ed loose than the plainest intellect in
the land.
In these days of shifting and chang
ing and when there is in the political
drama too much of the moving picture
show, happy is the Democrat who
knows his Democracy, stands 10y the
constitution, and estimates the roaring
defamation of the progressive, So
called at what it mainly is--"a cir
cumgyration Of incoherent words.

70 cAVE: Tie WILD LIFE
Movement to Stop Slaughter of Birds
for Fripperies for Milady's
HeadWear.

An organization formed in New
York to propagate and to protect wild
life in America is worthy of all sup
port. 1t will certainly turn it's atten-
ton to the slaughter of the birds for
millinery fripperies and promote the
adoption of salutary legislation such
as exists in New YorI state and other
enlightened communities, 1t will have
a great field before it in the protec.
ton and preservation of the big game
of the country that is being reduced
to a negligible condition by pot-hunt-
ers. despite state laws. 1t will do
much for the protection of the smaller
game and the recreation of the for
mer ideal conditions in this country
with regard to its game supplies.
Maryland, as one of the most I'm
portant game states in the country.
has wide sympathy in this or any sim
liar movement. 1t is q state. once re-
plete with the most alluring game,
that needs better sentiment to sup
port its laws in order to bring about
return of it's game glory The mat
ter is Of widest reach and the organic
alton deserves all success.
An instance of the unenlightened
manner in which the subject is at
present treated is instanced by the
corral and shipment to Canada for an
immense national park Of the one re.
naming big herd of buffaloes in this
country, a herd privately propagated
and bought by the Canadian authorl'
ties over the head of the United
States. The new association will seek
to preserve game for hunting and
more than that, wild life for its own
sake.

Farmers and Income Tax.

One N. II. Smith discusses the in
come tax in a rather practical sort OF
way in a communication to the Bara-
boo Daily News. In Wisconsin, he
saws, there are 177,127 farms; l5l ,022
are occupied by owners; 24,654 by ten
ants, and l,45l by managers. If a re-
port is made from each OF all these
farms allowing 81 each for time spent
in going to a notary to swear to the
statement which every person must, 1t
would cost 1854, 254. As he remarks,
this amount is lost, not even the Office
holders get pull at it. The notary
fees at % cents each would amount to
S44, 2Sl.75, and stamps to send reports
to the collector would cost 50, 542.5i
"These amounts do not include any
taxes,-just getting ready"
Mr.. Smith adds: "The income tax
will not make up for one-half OF the
loss on personal property assessed.
Every farmer can add at least ten per
cent to his last years real estate as
sessment when he gets his tax return
this year, and he can continue to add
10 per cent each year as long as these
laws stand 1t is an easy matter to
raise the tax on real estate but hard
Job to get it lowered. The tax roll
will not come out till after election.
II every farmer in the state would have
made out his income report and paid
his taxes before election the present
administrations would not carry one out
of the y counties in the state. Now,
farmers what are you going to do
about this? Are you going TO continue
following the wild, believing crowd
farther and farther in hills and woods,
as you have in the past two years and
allow them to rob you on every cor
ner?"-From Madison Democrat,

HELPING HAND FOR BOYS
Scheme'That Promises to Be of Much
Value About to Be Launched
in England.

Before long there will be establish
ed on the Thames, at London, off TEN.
pie river, If the government is sympa-
thetic. a training ship in which boys
in blind alley" work-errand boys,
messengers, junior clerks, etc.-will
learn the rudiments Of some skilled
trade. Lord Northampton scheme Is
novel and attractive.
The ship-when 1t has been pro-
cured-will be fitted with reading
rooms and gymnasium. Workshops
will be fitted up on board, and the
boys will be taught such useful trades
as carpenter, wheelwright, coach build
er, blacksmith, saddler and harness
maker.
Friday will be an off night, and will
be given up to concerts and lectures,
while on alternate Saturdays there
will be route marches on shore. 1t
Is proposed to form the boys into a
corps to be known as the imperial
marine artificers," and the first year
1t is intended to limit the number to
900 noncommissioned officers and arti-
scer apprentices, although it is pos
sible that provision may be found for
100 more boys.
1t is estimated that the annual cost
of the corps, including wages, main
tenance of the ship and all other ex-
penditure, will be $1,000. Already
half the money required for the initial
outlay has been privately promised,
and an appeal has been made to the
citizens of London to provide the bal
ance. 1t is hoped that the government
will assist the scheme to the extent
Of supplying ship.
