man building last Friday. afternoon,
will have a thorough examination
made Of the clothing of Robert AS
kew, a negro who was arrested Sat
urday afternoon.
The trousers worn by Askew at the
time of his arrest bear stains that
appear to have been made by blood.
An undershirt worn by Askew, who
still is being held at the city jail,
also is stained. The garments will be
submitted to City Chemist Miller for
chemical analysis.
Captin Flemmer said that several
persons appeared yesterday and
! looked at Askew "At this time
do not think it advisable to say
whether or not they identified the
man." said Flammer.
A chauffeur, whose name is being
withheld by the detectives, was
closeted with Captain Flammer and
Detective Ingram for more than an
hour yesterday. 1t is believed that

that large, black negro visited the
office of Mrs. Gay twice on the af3-
ernoon of Friday. The man was
seen by Miss Claire Felts of 1854
Russell avenue, and Mrs. c. Curry.
The appearance Of the negro, accord
ing to'the story of Miss Felts to De-
tectives Erven and Hickok, did not
alarm Mrs. Gay, but, on the contrary,
seemed to amuse her.

SPAIN BETTER OFF FOR THE WAR

Dorchester Democrat and Chronicle)
1t is pleasing indeed when our ap-
parent losses turn out to be gains,
when what We esteemed to be misfor-
tunes appear as blessings in disguise.
This is the happy case in which Spain
finds herself in respect to the loss Of
Cuba, according to published interf-
view with Premier Romanones, who
finds that our war with America was
not all disaster" The Premier dates
from the nations defeat by this coun-
try the birth of a new spirit of conf
dence in its resources at home and a
development of these, and he even
seems to attribute to it the possibility
of closer relations with European ma
tons
Since we lost Cuba the develop
ment of our country at home, especial
" in agriculture and in mining has
been immense" Premier Romanones
is quoted as saying Before that event,
he says, the methods employed in till
ing the soil and in mining were Car
acterized by the simplicity of the an
Cient Romans" while now they are in
accord with the most modern ideas,
and the proportionate production has
been doubled. So great has been the
stimulus in agriculture, mining and
manufacturing, it is said, that the rail
roads have been taxed to their utmost
to meet the demands for transporta-
ton.

DANGEROUS CAL0MEL
GOING OUT OF USE
4 Safer, More Reliable Remedy Has
Taken Its Place in the Drug Store
and in the Home.

A few years ago, men, women and
children took calomel for a sluggish
liver and for constipation. They took
risks when they did SO, for calomel is
dangerous drug. Your family doc
tor will be the first to tell you this if
he discovers you dosing yourself with
calomel
But the drug trade has found SAT-
er, NOR pleasant remedy than calomel
in Dodson's Liver Tone.
Howell-Prather Pharmacy tell us
that their drug store sells Dodson's
Liver Tone in practically every case of
billiousness and liver trouble where
calomel used to be taken.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a vegetable
liver tonic that absolutely harmless
for children and grown people. It
sells for so cts a bottle and is guar
anteed to be entirely satisfactory by
Howell-Prather Pharmacy, who will
refund your money with smile if e
does not give quick, gentle relief with
out any of calomel unpleasant after
effects

TARIFF ECHOES
(Indinapolis NeWs.l

In presenting their views of the new
tariff bill Serene Payne-rendered
forever famous by the Payne-Aldrich
bill, which, more than anything else,
put the Republican party out of bust

that it had already alarmed the coun-
try, and that it's effect would be to
bring American wages down to the
foreign level AS if anything could
possibly be core "uncalled for" than
the Payne-Aldrich bill! This echo OF
past fears seems to come from far-otf
from the elf-land of which the poet
sang.
Those who have tears to shed would
do well to prepare to shed them, for
the old tremolo will soon be turned on
again The men-or those of them
who survived the recent slaughter

have this reminder of the great days
when tariffs were made by Aldrich,
Smoot, Lodge, Payne, North, Whitman,
Littauer, always with the kindly as
sistance Of Wakeman Especially
should we rejoice to celebrate the glor-
les of the old 'jokers," such as that by
which everything that had a shred of
wool in it was transformed into wool,
the mercerized trick, and others too
numerous to mention 1t all has a SEN
timental and romantic interest and
value Besides it is amusing to have
criticism of any tariff bill from the
men who framed the Payne-Aldrich
tariff.

STATE RIGHTS
philadelphia Record.D

tPhiiddelphla Record
In rejecting all suggestions for fusion
with either of the older political par
ties the national council of the Pro
gressives, which recently met in New
York, announced that they could not
act with the Democrats because the
latter believed in State rights, and so
would raise obstacles to those great
and vague reforms which the Progress
sives want instituted by national leg
islation without reference to State
lines. This has seemed to many per
sons an extraordinary narrow minded
way of looking at public questions. If,
for instance. a fusion of the Demo-
cratic and Progressive forces in Phil
adelphia and Pennsylvania would de-
stroy the corrupt Republican Machine.
why should it be blocked by raising
the century-old question of State
rights?
The insincerity of this argument s
exposed by the present situation in
California The Progressives control
tn legislature there, and when the
Democratic Administration at Wash
ington points out to it that the pro-
posed legislation against the Japanese
will be a violation Of treaty rights and
endanger our present peaceful rela-
tons with friendly nation the reply
is made that California understands
thoroughly her rights as a sovereign
State: that she will do what seems
best TO her to protect her people. etc.
SO apparently State rights are 0. x.
in California. but raise great obstacle
to effective action in New York, Penn
sylvania, Washington and other East
ern communities. Of course. the Pro-
gressives really care nothing about
State rights, one way or the other
They are simply opportunists. and will
seize upon whatever issue they think
will prove popular. Great and endur-
ing political parties are not made in
this fashion.

ARIZONA MAY FOLLOW
EXAMPLE OF CALIFORNIA

Phoenix, Ariz., April 2S.-The judi
ciary committee, of the assembly has
been instructed to draft amendments
to Arizona's anti-alien land ownership
law, enacted last year, a situation
similar to that in California is fore
cast BY expressions of opinion on the
floor today. Those favoring the
amendment of the law in such man
rer as to make it's provisions apply
only to aliens ineligible for citizenship
in the United States are apparently i'll
the majority.
The present law, prohibiting owner
ship Of land in Arizona by any alien,
has aroused vigorous protest amons
wealthy MeXicans in the state Their
attention was directed to the law b.
the California situation. The matter
was taken up in the lower house first
and those who desired the rigid en-
forcement of the present law we've out
voted
The amendment desired would ex-
empt foreigners who already have es-
tablished proparty rights in the state
from the prohibitions of the law and
Legislators were of the opinion that the
ineligibility clause also would be in
serted.

READ THE LABEL!
(Woman's Home Companion.)

(Woman's Home Companion.)
There seems to be a general impress
sion that the pure food law prevents
the manufacturer and sale Of impure
food This, unfortunately. is not so,
The law simply makes it possible for
us to tell the pure food from the i'm
pure, writes John Phillips Street, pure
food commissioner for Connecticut
The manufacturers obey theIaw, hut
some of them obey only the letter Of
the law.
Your part is to make the law useful.
to protect your stomach and your
pCcketbook. by reading the labels
which the pure food law compels the
manufacturers to paste on their pro-
ducts.
This is not so simple as it sounds
Manufacturers often try to tefog the
consumer by using complicated labels
filed with long scientific terms, or by
employing tricks of punctuation and
printing. The housewife who can see
through these tricks and correctly in
terpret these labels will always receive
the worth of her money.
Adulterated food is not necessarily
injurious to the health, but it is to the
family purse. Any adulterated food
product, properly labeled, may be plac-
ed on the market, provided that the
adulterant employed is not deleterious
Pure food needs no label An impu e
food often needs much explanatory
data to make its sale legal. The more
explanation label carries the more
watchful and wary the housewife
should be in examining it.
1t is the province of each housewife
to decide whether she wishes such
served on her table as II
matter of economy. But it is ridiculous
for her to pay for such adulterate1
food as much or almost as much as
she would pay for a pure and whole
some article.

SEALED OPPORTUNITIES

serious trouble in Mexico is the
absence among the people of any
clearly defined, well-organized,p power
full movement for settled conditions of
government The nation is drifting
along from year to wear With a sue
cession of violent changes at the cap
ital, and scattered centers of revolu-
tionary leadership in several of the
states. Recognition is withheld from
the present regime on account of the
deeds connected with it's beginning.
The finances of the country are dis
turbed, government loans can not be
obtained. fluctuations in exchange
cause business embarrassment, and
resident foreigners continue to lea G
in large numbers, though they would
gladly remain if they felt safe to car-
~ on ordinary vocations. Losses to
everybody in Mexico under such cir
cumstances are extremely heavy, yet
no road out is seen. The situation in
effect is chaotic.
Many other nations have suffered
! arrangement at times, but public SEN
timent and action took shape to return
TO and maintain public order and effic-
iency. In Mexico there seems at this
period to be no competent progress
in this respect 1t has been said that
the people would be united against in
PREVENTION. But can they unite OH
nothing else? They are not threatened
with intervention, though reasons as
well as pretexts for it could be found.
Meanwhile. as the years go by, the
development of the country is sus-
pended and countless chances for
business activity are shut off. n,
poular convictions are held in the
country to indicate what is wanted.
Mexican politics is in state of gen.
eral confusion. The voice of the peo-
pie is inaudible, though no republic
can be governed without it. backed by
the loyalty and patriotism of the peo-
pie What Mexico is forms a remark
able contrast with what 1t might be

FLYING ACROSS THE ATLANTIC

The aviator who apparently expects
to span the Atlantic in a dirigible bal
loon with the Canary Islands as the
starting point may not succeed, but
the feat will undoubtedly be accom-
plished within a short time. Crossing
the Channel and the Mediterranean in
flying machines has become an old
story. The Alps and Pyrenees hav,
been surmounted repeatedly, and many
long-distance trips are completed At
an average speed OF about a mile Il
minute.
Yet the dangers are serious, and the
commercialiZing of air fight is not in
sight. Over a hundred aviators were
killed by falls last year and this ratio
of accidents still continues War de-
partments are active in building aero
planes and dirigiblGo, but taking haz-
ards is their business and there can be
no doubt that aerial operations would
be extensive in a conflict between any
two important powers They would
excite more than an abstract interest
in places distant from the front, and
home guards would be kept buster
than ever before.
Aviator Brucker expected to fly from
the Canaries to some point in the
West Indies, and has provisiOned his
company of three for twenty-five days,
though hoping to complete the flight
in less than ten. So many contingent
cies are connected with such a novel
enterprise that success is hardly to be
expected at this time, and the safety Of
the party is greatly questioned. But
that air flight across the largest bod
les of water will be achieved within
the next few years is almost certain.
The Canaries give little advantage
at the start, as they are sixty miles of
the coast of Africa, where it juts
westward toward the New World that
so long remained unknown. More than
1000 years ago the ancient placed
their first meridian of longitude on the
Canaries, and named them the For
tunate Isles. They viii figure anew in
history if they have any special adj
vantages, geographical of climatic, in
ocean aviation. 1t is at all events
good idea to keep as near land as pos
sible at the terminal points.

So often there come days of gray, Of

Duh. darkhng days;
Unsparkling days.
Wherein there is no mischief-sun-

When no light fash of joy will come,
nor stay;
The strange, stilIed days;
The untitled days.
That, tagging, creep upon their leaden

So still and cold that, weeping, weary

We moan that life and love itself have
died.
And then come days of purple and Of

Bright-glinting days,
Spring limiting days;
And ah, the throbbing color that they
hold;
The lyric tales of loving that are toll.
In days fiame-hued
And life-imbued!
Their joy forever to our hearts we'd
fold;
And laugh, and say, betwixt smile
and tear;
''Ldfe-life and loye-yOu're here

And so in strange procession come the

The woe-tilled days.
