Enlisting for the Spanish American
war, Mr.. Harrison was made captain
and assistant general. His wealth has
not been bar to the development Of
vigorous sturdy, patriotic Ameri-
canism.
Some positive statement In regard
to the new administration policy to-
ward the Philippines should shortly
be made. The Baltimore platform de-
clared:
We reaffirm the position thrice an
nounced by the democracy against a
policy of Imperialism and colonial ex-
ploration in the Philippines or else
where. We condemn the experiment
in imperialism as an inexcusable blum
der which has involved US in enor-
nous expense, brought us weakness
instead OF strength. and laid our ma
ton open to the charge of abandon
ment of the fundamental doctrine OF
self government. We favor an imme-
diate declaration of the nations pur-
pose to recognize the independence OF
the Philippine Islands as soon as a
stable government can be established,
such independence to be guaranteed
by us until the naturalization of the
islands can be secured by treaty with
other powers"
No sane man believes that stable
and Independent government could be
set up in the Philippines without years
OF eparation.-Atlanta Constitution.

GIRLS! BEAUTIFUL. CHARMING HAIR.
NO DANORUFF--- 25 CENT DANDER|NE

Besides beautifying the hair at once
Danderine dissolves every particle OF
dandruff; cleanses, purifies and in
vigorates the scalp, forever stopping
itching and falling hair.
But what will please you most will
be after a few weeks use when you
will actually see new hair-fine and
downy at first-yes-but really new
hair growing all over the scalp. II
you care for pretty, soft hair and
lots of it surely get a IS cent bottle
of Knowlton's Danderine from any
druggist or soilet counter and just
try it.

ACQUIRED WISDOM.

When 7 used to be we'll fixed
scarcely studied folks at all;
just sort o. judged betwixt
Thick and thin and short and tall.
But since misfortune's got my tag
I'm looking deeper than the skin
And. while I don't much care to brag.
I'm fair at judgin what's within
You'll never see me try to touch
A high silk tile for 80 cents;
I stand more chance to get so much
From some old cady full o. dents.
And as for getting handouts, why
Give me a battered back street
place
And III pass rows OF mansions by
They give no chance to run your
. face.
IN other days I used to look
Much moro. think. at clothes than
-, folks.
(Just as IL trumpet vines had took
To holding up the biggest oaks).
I've learned you can't guage sympathy
BY cut o clothes or piles cash;
The meek and lowly folks for me
The folks that's felt misfortune's
lash!

THE DANCING BUG.

"on with the dance. let Joy be un-

A famous poet thus expressed his
mind;
And though the earth has long been
on his breast
The world at last obeys his gay be-
hest.
His spirit speaks at cabarat and tea,
In every place where gather two or
three,
With or without the strains OF music
sweet,
He pairs they off AMI starts their
eager feet.

ments the ST. Louis Post Dispatch.
A writer of wartime "reminiscences
has lately told how delegations of
Wall street bankers journeyed to
Washington to point out to President
Lincoln's cabinet the inadequacy and
danger of the bill. They antagonized
some of the veryf eatures of the meas
ure that afterward proved of greatest
value and predicted ruinous losses.
When the government, harassed by
the burdens of civil war, disregarded
their protests. the Wall street bank
ers practically boycotted the new law
and for months refused to avail them
selves of its privileges.
And still the law passed in the early
COS brought benefits no subsequent
Legislation can hope to equal. Since
it's enactment no American bank note
has ever been worth less than 100
cents 1t ended the days of wildcat
state banking, Of printing press infla-
ton. Of rotten note issues fuctuating
daily from zero TO par.
If we had relied on banker made
banking law alone so years ago some
OF these great advantages would have
been lost to the people. With the in
telligent banking sentiment of the
country back Of II the administration
can safely disregard the present be-
lated and unreasonable demands OF

For the first time in over so years
the tariff has been revised by men
who oppose the
Revised by principle of pro-
Anti -Protectionists lection and who
have had the
courage to carry out their convictions.
1t is a great departure in one sense
of the word, and yet the passage of
the bill really eyokes little interest or
excitement
This is because the need of this re-
vision has been so obvious and the
revision has been demanded for so
long that the opponents of the plan
practically concede the action was
necessary and long ago prepared to
face the new situation.
As to the different schedules in the
new measure they may be wranglei
over indefinitely. There are provis-
ions that will not appeal to this sec
ton and that section. No tariff bill
ever pleases everyone or ever will.
But the new bill has been a genu-
, inc attempt at getting away from the
protective policy an attempt to
serve the people instead of privileged
interests. Yet in doing so the fran
ers have kept in mind the fact tina,
the country has been long accustomed
to protection and that to be too radical
would be wrong.
1t will be interesting to note the
way in which the tariff bill is received
and the manner in which the opposi-
ton will proceed to go about theii
effort to drive the administration
from power because OF the bill. WI
they say the bill is too conservative
II would be hard to prove that charge
with Woodrow Wilson and w. J
Bryan endorsing the measure. VIII

you published in your Magazine, and
which has brought about your prose-

see why the publishers who send it

guilty as yourself. But the fact is
the book was copyrighted by the
Government and has been going
through the mails for 80 years or
more, and this fact is sufficient to
convince any sane man mat in your
case it is persecution and not prose
cutlon for crime in the true sense.
Everybody knows that you have
committed no crime. You have sim

rlsy, the fraud, the superstition, the
debauchery and corruption practiced
by the Roman Catholic Hierarchy
and the danger to our institutions
and to our civilization in allowing
this rotten mess to get it's clutches
on our Government.
L sincerely hope that you may be
acquitted by the jury that is to try
your case. Your friends in and

am proud of the number and char
acter of Mr.. Watson's followers.
There are more real Christian men
and women who believe in him and
follow him than almost any other
living man. They have believed in
