Sensible Women Know.
Foundation of Health

AS health talks to women become
more general, both in the newspa-
pers and on the platform, the mass
of women are beginning to realize
what the more cultivated have al
ways known, that good health can
not be found in powder box. The
externals of health may be obtained
in that way, but the basis Of health
lies deeper, and yet is just as easily
obtained.
The most important thing that q
woman can do for herself, and about
which she ls often most neglectful, Is
to watch the condition of her sto-
mach and bowels. The weary eyes,
the bad breath, the frequent head
aches, the pimples, the general air
of lassitude is nine times out of ten
the result 0! constipation or indiges-
ton, or br.h. Many simple rene
take DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin in
the small dose prescribed. A brief
use of 1t will SO train the stomach
and bowel muscles that all forms of
medicine can be dispensed with.

Tic Crooked Senate Subway.

The visitor to the Capitol who
makes his way thence to the Senate
office building through the subway,
wonders why that passageway should
have been run in the form Of a let
ter S, instead Of in a straight line.
The more one ponders the less rea-
son there seems to be for it-until
finally he reaches the conclusion
that there was no reason at all-like
unto many another governmental ac-
tiOn-and let's 1t go at that.
If, however, he will ask Elliott
Woods, superintendent Of the Capt.
tol building, he will learn that the
reason for this curve IS this: The
subway was made by an open cut.
Right in the direct line was a his

patriotic engineers swervec their

the west, thus avoiding the sacred

the estimation of most women is DR..

suited to her needs. 1t is far supe-

About the year 1870, if you had

"Richland's Honor and Isichland's $
Pride"
Dialogue by Edgar McMahan and
Miss Mae Hubbard.)
Rich and rare are the gems she
wears,
And a bright gold ring on her wand
she bears;
But oh! her beauty Is far beyond
Her sparkling gems, or snow-white
wand.
Lady, dost thou not fear to stray
So lone and SO lovely through this
bleak way?
Are Richards sons SO good or so
AS not to be tempted by woman or
gold?'
"sir Knight, I feel not the least
alarm.
No son of Richland will offer me
harm;
For though they love woman and
golden store,
Sir knight, they love honor and vir-
tue more!"
On she goes, and her maiden smile
In safety lights her round all the
while;
And blest forever is she who relies
Upon Richards honor and Rich
lands Pride.

dictments were returned by the

company when the county had no need
for the bridges, or had made no pro-

this money, the latter constituting a

CABELL TEACHERS
NEAR RACE WAR

Huntington, w. Va, Aug. "a
race war, threatened here yesterday in
the Cabell county teachers institute,
and for time serious trouble was
threatened. County Superintendent
of Schools Petit put quietus on the
difficulty temporarily, when he threat
ened to revoke the certificate of any
teacher who made a move toward vic.
lence.
Goaded to desperation by the con.
tinued annoyance of white school
teachers made public complaint to the
superintendent in the midst of pro-
ceedings. More than 200 teachers were
in the room, and at once a stir began,
many indicating that they favored the
instant election of the colored teach
ers from the room. The colored teach
ers declared that they had been con-
stantly annoyed by being struck with
paper pellets and that their protests
had been received with sneers.
A colored man teacher joined in the
protest, and this made the situation
all tue more serious.
Superintendent Petit made a state
ment in which he said that the colored
teachers were compelled by law to at
tend the institute, and that any out
break toward them would be punished
by the revoking of the certificates of
those involved. A committee was APP
pointed to investigate the complaint
of the colored women, and State Su-
perintendent Shawkey was summoned
here to adjust the situation.

Some editorial writer's are bitter in
their denunciation of the lynching OF
a negro rapist by the prisoners in the
Wyoming ~penitentiary. The Forum is
not inclined to condemn the lynchers.
In the first place the negro-twice
convicted before of criminal assaults
oh white women-this time picked out
a 7o-year-old widow as the victim of
his lust. That in itself, should be
gsuficient excuse for his sudden taking
of.
But if lynchings are to occur-why
o have them in the penitentiaries?
They are a disgrace to American civ
i~lization-and are better behind the
CLOSED doors and prison walls than out
in the open. If men are to be lynched
1t is better that men Injured to crime
should be the participants than for
business men and youth to engage in
that increasingly popular pastime
Taken altogether, If the negro rapist
was to have been l~ynched-it seems
Perfectly fitting that the criminals in
the pen at Rawlins should do the jot
-in preference to outsiders.
incidentally, the act was a rather
eon1mendable thing on the part of the
prisoners. 1t indicates that the con-
Nicted men were not entirely lost tc
smanhood-that they still retained
stern sense of justice-and believed
.only the summary taking of the brute:
life, could expiate the terrible Grim,
BE. had committed.
Lynchings are evidences of outlawry
F'hey are to be deplored. But mos.
people win readily admit that if Their,
must be lynchings-that it Is perfect,
" fitting that rapists, should be tn,

WHY TAKE A CHANcE2

There is more money in Fargo today
than at any period since the first
shack was erected on the site Of the
present city. There is more money in
North Dakota today than at any time
since the buffalo and the Indian roam
ed the wide prairies of this state.
There is more widespread prosper
Tty in North Dakota and the rest of
the nation-than since the earliest
recollection of any living man.
Labor is more generally employed
IMAM at any ormer period in American
history. Best Of all it is today receiv-
ing the highest wage since man first
hegan to delve.
I With these conditions in the city, in
The state, in the ~nation-why disturb
84sn? Why make a change? Can the
Widest dreamer hope to improve
chem? Will the most enthusiastic
supporter Of Wilson insist his free
trade views can improve the condition
of the farmer and the laboring man?
Will the reddest-faced, lustiest-lung-
ca sshouter for Roosevelt insist that the
Anah from Oyster Bay will do better
aAaB Taft has done-after remember
I0gsst conditions for seven years
while Roosevelt was president?
With these things true-and fresh
in their minds-win the voters on
Nov. 5 decide that Taft a s made good
-or will they speculate with a man, a
dreamer-or give a turbulent dis
turbance-provoker another chance to
aet the country on It's ears and create
Unrest and distrust?
The Forum believes the two great
factors in America today-the farmers
and the lsboring men-are fairly well
satisfied with the existing conditions
-and are unlikely to disturb them. .

paid for out Of their own pockets--and
fed, with their blessings, to hungry
mortals-and not a penny in recon-
pense. Really 1t is pathetic. One feels
like weeping. The wonder is that
these landlords are not in the poor
house, However. in the east. they have
now reused to the consciousness Of
their great s~acrihce-and decided that
they would charge the insignificant
sum of 10 cents for bread and butter.
But this Is ridiculous. The great army
of diners should see to it that the dear
landlords should not be allowed to in
flict themselves with such penury-
now that the diners themselves know
the truth. The landlords should be
compelled to take enough at least to
partially cover their loss-and 81 for
a thin slice Of bread and a golden spat
of butter or ol~eomargerine should not
be too much.
