WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

Chicago Record Herald: The trouble
with too many criminal lawyers is that
that's exactly what they are.
New York Life: care your father and
mother in, Bobbie?" "No." "Then can
see your sister," mot in. She ex-
pected you, too"
New Orleans Picayune: In biblical
times it was considered a miracle for a
donkey to speak, and now nothing short of
a mircle will keep him quiet.
Florida Christian Advocates: The man
who plunges into sin and is caught in his
wickedness has no one to blame but him.
self. He is reaping what he sowed.
Louisville Courier journal: Young men
know, as never before, that drink and sue
cess are stranger the one to the other.
Ultimately they will come to realize that
alcohol is poison.
Spartansburg Is. c. Journal: A young
express messenger last week took pack
age of SIS 900 in transit in Georgia from the
Southern Express Company. So far as is
known, it is his first offense and he says
months drink brought him to it. An
inevitable consequence.
Greenwood (Miss.) Enterprise: A few
years ago Sunflower County was one of the
hardest counties in the State to convict a
man in. Last week Judge McClurg tried
thirty criminal cases before juries and they
returned a verdict of guilty in twenty light
Of them, and two who were acquitted had
their partners convicted. And all this was
done in one week. 1t shows what the court
can do in the way of dispatching business
when it has juries who are willing to help
in vindicating the law and are willing to
punish criminals without so much quib-
bling and looking for loopholes or excuses
for acquitting.
Vicksburg Herald: The protest Of deal
ers and manufacturers against Louisiana's
pioneer "pure shoe law" will hardly make
Roadway against merits that are so obvious
There is more apt to be enactment of like
laws by every State in which the public is
made acquainted with its provisions. tits
only strange that the practice of shoe adul-
teration has gone so long unchecked. This
is only explained by the fact that the pres
ent age is one of trade imposition on the
public beyond comparison. This Louisiana
pure shoe law has been commented on anG
commended all over the Union, and many
States are being urged to copy it, as Mis-
sissippi certainly should.

There is more teaming in Chicago than
in any other city in the world. The num-
Der of vehicles registered with the city
authorities was $4,000 in 1912, an increase
of II per cent over the preceding year.
Of these, more than $4,000 are horse
drawn wagons and trucks used for haul
ing merchandise and other commodities.
The automobile trucks number 2790.
Teaming in Chicago represents an annual
business of S6O,00O,0O and an investment
in excess of $50, 900.

Gods Business and Ours.

Rev. Dr. Frank Oliver Hail. in New York Herald
Visit We not that must be about my fathers
business.-Luke ii, 40.
Having said that, Jesus Immediately
returned to Nazareth and became car
penter. Most of us think of the Fathers
business as something remote from and
foreign to our daily task-to be about
Gods business means to desert ones home
and homely occupation and to 60 as mis-
sionary to China. Doubtless that is Gods
business, but it is just as true that the
carpenter, the miner, the merchant and
the farmer are also about the Fathers
business if they perform their tasks faith
fully. We are instructed to pray, "Give
US this day our daily Bread" but expert
ence proves that God does not, in answer
to prayer, bestow bread from celestial
bakeries. If the bread comes it arrives
along the channels of ordinary industry
and commerce.
Not long ago charity worker discover
ed family in great distress, sick mother,
hungry children, discouraged man out of
work. What was the first thing to do?
She obtained bread for the family. Whence
came the bread? From the neighboring
bakery. Where did the baker obtain the
necessary flour? From the mills at Min
neapols. And where did the mills obtain
the grain? From Western wheat fields.
The charity worker was only the last link
in the chain. If one link had been miss
ing the hungry family could not have been
fed If the charity worker was about the
Fathers business it is equally apparent
that the farmer, the miller and the baker
were about His business also.
The best new year resolution that one
can make is that he will perform his work
in the world as a member of co-opera-
tive commonwealth exactly as if he had
been commissioned to that task by the
Almighty Himself.
GA servant with this clause
| Makes drudgery divine:
Who sweeps room as for Thy laws
Makes that and tn action fine."
| So Jesus for twenty years became car
penter. During this time we read that He
Increased in wisdom and stature, and in
favor with God and man." Jesus became
perfect man by first being a good carpen-
ter. Livingston became great missionary
by first being good weaver. Henry
Wilson became great statesman by first
being good shoemaker. Garfield became
great President by first being a good
mule driver. The most important business
of the Father is the making of men. Gods
world is great man factory. 1t is mis-
take to say that God made man. God is
making man. You are raw material out
of which man is being made. More thar
that, you have part in the process. The
best use to which you can put this year
and all years, is to make yourself as much
of man as possible. And the way to dc
that is to take hold with both hands o.
some worthy task and perform it with
might and main.

The interest taken in the exhibit of
machinery and implements at the Lou

growth of a determination on the part
of the farmers to turn from the old

BRYAN HAS NOT CHANGED.
Policy Expressed In 1900 To Be PrOmi-
nent Under His Administration of
State Department.

-
washington, d. c., (SpeciaD-Secre-
tary of State Bryan gave to the public
recently the first official statement as
to his views on the national position
of the United States. He did not go
into a detailed discussion OF foreign
relations, preferring to confine himself
to a general intimation of his attitude,
For this purpose he used an abstract
from a speech he delivered nearly
thirteen years ago. The secretary's
statement follows:
Il do not care to speak of our for
elgn relations, or of our nations Po-
! s1t1on in relation to any particular
nation or question, but myviews on
our national position are expressed in
the closing words of the speech which
l delivered at Indianapolis August 8,
1900"
The words show that am in hearty
accord with President Wilson in his
desire to promote international peace
and good will.
Il can conceive of a national des-
tiny surprising the glories of the pres
ent and the pasta destiny which
meets the responsibilities of today and
measures up to the possibilities of the
future. Behold a republic, resting Sc
curely upon the foundation stones
quarried by revolutionary patriots
from the mountain of eternal truth
a republic applying in practice and
proclaiming to the world the self-evid-
ent propositions that all men are Great
ed equal; that they are endowed by
thar ONnn%O~s &hn& n No
constituted among men to ecure these
rights and that governments derive
their just powers from the consent of
the governed. Behold a republic in,
which civil and religious liberty slim
ulate all to endeavor and in which the
law restrains every hand uplifted for
a neighbours injury-a republic in
which every citizen is a sovereign, but
in which no n or dares to wear
a crown. Behold a republic standing
erect while empires all around are
bowed beneath the weight of their own
armaments-a republic whose flag is
loved while others flags are only fear
ed. Behold a republic increasing in
population, wealth, in strength and in.
influence, solving the problems of civil
ization and fastening the coming Of an
universal brotherhood-a republic
which shakes thrones and dissolves
a~ristocracies by it's silent example and
gives light and inspiration to those who
sit in darkness. Behold a republic grad
ually but surely becoming the supreme
moral factor in the worlds progress
and the accepted arbiter of the worlds
disputes republic whose history.
like the path of the just, is the shin
ing light that shineth and more
unto the perfact day."
This was Mr.. Bryan's answer to a
small army of newspaper men gather
ed at the department intent 1pon

any, the new administration will make
in the policy of the government re-
garding Mexico, the Philippines, Lac-

Lets SUPPOSE the Case.

Suppose you were a dozen blocks
away from a doctor? Or, suppose you
lived next door to a doctor and the
doctor. was out a dozen blocks seeing
another patient And suppose your
child was showing symptoms of Group.
What would it mean? 1t would not
only mean anxiety; it would not only
mean that you would be obliged to get
a doctor in a hurry, and it might take
half the night, but it would mean DE-
LAY. And in cases of Group or Pneu-
monia delays are truly dangerous. But
suppose the case; Suppose you had in
the home, as you should always have,
n bottle of Gowan's Preparation, that
great external remedy which does
miracles. almost. You would simply
rub the infant two or three times and
be positively unconcerned. You would
feel secure. In the morning the
chances are ninety-nine in a hundred
the child would be perfectly well This
is not a picture drawn by a dramer.
We have thousands of testimonials to
back up our statement. Ask your own
neighbor. Tha is best. The 20 or 30
cents you had expended would be tNe
best money you yer spent. There is
NO telling when Group will come. 1t
comes in the night. From the crib a
slight cough is heard-you know that
Group is there. In a moment you can
apply Gowan's Preparation and the re-
suit will satisfy you. We guarantee
Gowan's to do all we claim for it. It
is a wonderful medicine-the most
wonderful we know anything about
Its enormous sales justify our claims.
People who use it once use it again
dtell their neighbors. Suppose even
you go for the doctor the fact that you
had at once applied Gowan's, it being
external, could do no harm and the 20
cents spent in the operation would be
we'll spent. When the doctor came he
wouldn't say you had done wrong
he would say that o had done no
harm. If you didn't find the doctor
you would have saved, perhaps your
loved ones life.

THE CABINET ALL RIGHT.
South Well Represented In National
Official Family.

II the press predictions of the new
cabinet are correct as they doubtless
are. Mr.. Wilson has shown statesman
~ judgement in his selections. He has
chosen as the chief councillors of his
admfnistratio men of eminent ability
and of unQuestioned loyalty to the
country's common interests. Each is
admirably fitted for the Portfolio to
which heis named and. as regards the
broad policies of government. they are
all of kindred persuasion; they ARE
progressive Democrats and by every
taken, they will work together, har-
moniously and constructively.
William J.. Bryan, as Secretary of
State, enters a field of service for
which he is peculiarly well endowed
and well equipped. There are few if
any Americans of the day so thorough
ly ~conversant with International af-
fairs. His ideals of diplomacy are high
and generous as we'll as farsighted,
and they will win the United States
new confidence and respect in the fam
lay of nations.
Particularly pleasing to the South is
the fact that four of the most impor-
tant seats in the cabinet have been al
lotted by MI. Wilson to Southern men.
William G. McAdoo, Secretary of the
Treasury, though now resident of New
York, is a native of Georgia, having
been reared in Marietta. James G.
McReynolds, Attorney General, is a
T-ennesseean. Albert S. Burleson, Post
master General, is from Texas; and
Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the
Navy. is as thoroughbred a North Car

Mr.. Daniels is one of the stanchest
and truest of the nations Democracy,
