mo man can look me in the eyes
and say ever wronged him for my own
profit; none may cha:ga that l have
smiled on hin L. order to use him, or
called him my friend thai l might
make him do for me the work of a

At first reading it would appear
that there is nothing in the above as
sertion that any man may not say Of
himself; yet in casting about for a
public man to fit this glass slipper to
one encounter task very similar to
the princes in his search of a Gin
derella.
Only a few of the big men of the
country whom we are taught to look
upon as shining examples, measure up
to the standard implied by that one
sentence, mo man can look me in the
eyes and say l wronged him for my
own profit" and as for the servant
work, think of the tools such men as
Lorimer, for instance, used in further
ing his rise Think of the long list
of frail brothers necessary in the
evolving Of one moneyed individual. Il
seems almost unkind to hold up Lori
mer as an instance when one medi-
tates on the numbers of men similar
in type whose methods of self-aggrau-
dizement are just now being uncov-
ered and of the greater number still
unstrlpped.
My dear fellow" says McKenna in
one of Owen Johnson's stories, the
real criminal, the criminal with
brains, joins a police force, say-be.

ly, gets to be a cashier or president
of bank. You think I'm joking. Not
at all. Just stop and think it over
| For every bank president who takes
the funds of his bank, speculates and
loses, how many do you think win
out and never get caught? / shake
hands every day with gentlemen who
ought to be breaking rocks"

The Morning of the New Day

ty production is the man who, having
climbed on the sinews and shoulders
of his fellows and reaching the limit
to his selfishness in amassing for
tune, turns to philanthropic pursuits
in baby-feeding or peace culture. This
form of self-imposed taxation at mini
mum rates is his idea of squaring ac-
counts with his fellowman. The same
system that allows the growth of
of these money whales has Matched
school ranging in size from sharks to
minnows, all very much intent upon
fellow creature.
Viewed in the light of Its earlier
conception, society made for the de-
velopment of the clan or gems, and
not toward the production of one in
dividual, only. The basic principle
was the protection of The specie as a
whole. To be sure, history relates as
civilization" progressed there came
departures from this just regime as
seen in the eras of half slave, half
free; but history also points to the
downfalls due to these departures and
the consequent unwholesomeDess o.
public and private life.
The nations conscience is awakening
AL permanent advancement through
which society has travelled has come
through the discarding of outgrown
systems. The present sys,9m has
reached its zenith, and we are pre-
pared to burst forth into a new order.
Indeed it is already here. We have
surely set our feet into the new path,
and as certainly as we depend upon
the rising and the setting of the sun
in this-the new era-all men will
say:
mo man can look me in the eyes
and say l wronged him for my own
profit; none may charge that l have
smiled On him in order to use him, or
called him my friend that l might
make him do for me the work of a
servant"

COUNTENANCING LAWBREAK.
ING

The action of the delegates to the
Woman Suffrage congress at Budapest
in defeating a resolution condemning
the practices Of the militant suf-
fragettes of England was disappoin:-
ing. Here was an opportunity to ad-
minister a deserved rebuke to women
who must be regarded by all normal
persons as either insane or fiends. 1t
is said that many of the delegates to
the congress are unalterab!y opposed
to the antics of the militant suffra-
gets Of England, but a majority
held that the rules of the Woman's
Suffrage alliance forbid interference in
questions of national policy. This was
begging the question and a resort to a
subterfuge that is indefensible.
1t encouraged the suffragette fana-
tics of Great Britain, for on Saturday
last, after the congress at Budapest
mad refused to condemn their law
iessness and violence, they burned the
valuable Marine laboratory of the
University of ST. Andrews in Scotland
ana set fire TO St. Johns church ~
SOutnend, England. Fortunately the
nre In the church was extinSuisbad
netore much damage was done nm,
the loss Of records Of scientific inves,,-
cation in the laboratory in scotland
is said 70 be irreparable. while ths
money loss by the destruction of tbs
building and the valuable instrument.
1t contained is great.
Nothing seems to be sacred TO thes.
fanatical women. One would suppos,
that churches especially would be re
spected by them, for they have no
openly denounced religion.
The failure Of the delegates TO III,
congress at Budapest to denounc,
such crimes as the burning O
churches and public buildings was al
tnexcusable weakness. Il can hardI,
be possible that the American woner
sufragists uphold the conduct of III,
militant suffrage;s Of Great Britain
and they should register their disap
provai. and without delay.

CALLING THE MIGRATE.

II is not an uncommon experience
with a newspaper to have men, who
owe it some debt OF gratitude for
support given them in times when
in quest Tor political prefermeni
they needed friends, turn upon it when
once secure in Office and, exposing their
teeth, bite the hand that fed them
The Chicago Tribune has called one
of these political ingrates, and has
called him in a manner that he will
remember, as witness the following
from the Tribune's editorial columns
Of yesterday:
at is a serious thing to have
charges of this character 1.-THE Null
hall story printed by unscrupu-
lous newspapers. Representative
James Il. Mann of Illinois
The fair inference is that Mr..
Mann thinks INSCRIPTIONS news
papers have printed the charges
and were INSCRIPTIONS 10 the ex-
tent that they did print them.
II Mr.. Mann has had the in
felicity TO. say something he did
not mean, the Tribune is convinc-
ed, nevertheless, that comment on
the character of the republican
leader in the house Of representa-
tives is justified by fact if not by
occasion.
Mr Mann is a gentleman of pre-
else attachments. He would know
eAaeuy how many pins were in a
paper OF pins, but he might be in
DOUBT whether 10 use them as rail
road spikes or bayonets. He Is n
marvel Of minutia. Like a Guilt
yer with a head full of small pre-
else information, he wsnders
through a Brobdingnag of big
< IDEAS and sees only the buttons on
the shoes. He could tell the num-
Der of seeds distributed by the
government In any one year or any
10 years; he would know whether
two cents more or two cents less
had been appropriated for Peace
river in 1909 than in 1911; he
Z would know the cubic air space
= Of the hall OF the house OF repre-
sentauves. the amount OF grass
seed sown on the White house
lawn, the ruling of the speaker in
any case at any time, the number
OF pages in any book in the Con-
I gressional library.
In Lilliput Mr.. Mann Is a giant.
He is useful. Once in q while
s 1t is helpful 10 good legislation or
hurtful TO bad legislation TO have
an aeerb gentleman spring TO his
feet with instant and devastating
information as 10 the number Of
seeds in a watermelon. Mr.. Mann

TRIES PLANT JUICE
What 1t Did For Him In
Short Order Told IN
His Own Words.

Mr. W. A Adams, one OF FL PaSo's
fire ladies, being a driver at the cen
trail station and whose home is at 800
South St. Vrain, tells the following:
I am glad to tell you that the Plant
Juice was exactly the treatment I was
looking for. My stomach was not right
but my worst trouble was my kidneys
They We're so weak they troubled me
all the time; would trouble me a dozen
times during the night. Then came the
rheumatism caused I expect by my
weak kidneys. 1 got no relief from
anything I tried until I got the Plant
Juice. My stomach is all right now,
my kidneys give me no more trouble
and the rheumatic pains are all gone.
I feel like a new man. 1t is a pleasure
and I guess q duty for me to tell any
one troubled with stomach or kidney
trouble or rheumatism what the Plant
Juice did for me"
What Plant Juice did for Mr.. Adams
it will do for any one who suffers with
any arrangement of the stomach, liver,
kidneys or blood. It is the worlds
