board of education law be repealed.
The Record says: "The president
and secretary of the league were
strong for economy in state affairs,
but did anyone ever hear them utter
word of complaint regarding the
immense sums of money the county
has spent in their home town-the
county seat-during the past few
years-a $125,O0O court house,
500, 900 asylum, $4,000 for fresco-
ing the court house, boulevard lights
around the court house, etc?"
The animus of the Record editor is
plainly shown in that comment. The
urgent need of the courthouse was
plainly recognized by all, and its
expense was incurred after a full
discussion of the matter by the people
throughout the county. No public
building was ever more honestly or
economically constructed, and it
stands today the pride of every
citizen in the county as a monument
to their intelligence and public spirit.
The decoration of its walls was
simply delayed act of completion
it was economically and beautifully
done, and this is the first word of
criticism we have seen leveled at it..
The 500, 900 asylum, one of the
best in the state, was constructed as
matter of most urgent need, on
perhaps the smallest margin of profit
of any in the country. 1t was made
necessary by the destruction of the
old building by fire. Nobody would
criticize it's construction except
through a cheap attempt to play
politics. The boulevard lights take
the place of former arc lights around
the court house. They are more
beautiful and more economical. A
citizen of Lancaster-Senator G.. H.
Baxter, proposed them and paid from
his private funds a generous share
of their installation; the county paid
the balance; the city stands the ex-
pense of their maintenance.
No, we don't think the president
and secretary of the league kicked
upon these improvements. We dom
know why they should.
They don't kick on honest and
needed state improvements, either.
What they do object to is the need
less and reckless wasting of the
public money for political purposes.
The now admitted extravaganza III
duplication of work by the state
boards and commissions; An army
of young fellows chasing each other
over the state and drawing big
salaries for inspecting" everything
under the sun, many of them getting
pay for doing work they don't under
stand or that could be we'll dispens-
ed with; the saddling of complicated
and expensive forms and systems of
doing business upon municipalities,
corporations and others that they
could get along better without, and
through policy of paternalism and
Capitalization having one man draw
two salaries or two or three men do
the work that one man should do,
while the taxpayer. foots the bill
therefor.
That's what the league stood for
and we expect the next two years to
show that it's work has borne good
fruit in reduced state expenses.

PICTURESQUE ICE FIELDS.
Scenic Beauties of Uncle Sam's Glacier
 National Park.

National Park.
 That the ice fields of Glacier Nation al park present some of the best ex- amples of active glaciers now found in the United States, is a statement made by w. c. Alden ill a government pam phlet. "They have a splendid setting in magnificent alpine scenery" says MT. Alden, unsurpassed in grandeur anywhere. Hidden away in the reces- ses of the mighty mountain ranges, these rare and wonderful features form a climax to many of the interesting trips open to the tourist.
 '"There are in the park about ninety small glaciers, ranging in size from Blackfeet glacier, with it's three square miles of ice, down to masses but few acres in extent, yet exhibiting the char acteristics of true glaciers.
 ''After examining these features one can easily picture to himself as he looks down the valleys the great rivers of ice which in ages past cascaded from the cliffs below the upper cirques, converged as tributaries from the many branch valleys and united in great trunk glaciers. In imagination he can see these great glaciers, many hun dreds of feet in depth, filling the great mountain valleys from side to side and deploying thence upon the bordering plains. He seems to see these mighty engines plucking away the rock ribs of the mountains, smoothing, grinding and polishing the irregularities and sweeping away the debris to be spread on the plains below. These glaciers developed and extended three times and, after each development. the con gealed masses melted away on the re- turn of milder climatic conditions, un til at length only the small cliff gla- ciers of the present day are left lurking fin the protected recesses at the heads of the capaciOus valleys.
 "Many of the rock walled amphithe- aters are no longer occupied by ice, but from all there issues streams fed by the melting snow or ice. These plunge over the cliffs in beautiful, fOaming cascades and rush on down the noun tain gorges. The melting glaciers left many inclosed basins, large and small. and in these the waters rest awhile and mirror in their crystal depths the dark green of the surrounding forests, the rich colors of the rugged mountain walls and the deep blue of the cloud f1ecked sky. On, again, from lake to lake, the waters flow and finally start down their long courses to the sea to merge at length with the chill waters of Hudson bay, the baImy tides of the Gulf of Mexico or the rolling pillows of the Pacific"

SHOES SPOIL OUR FEET.
That Is Why So Few Persons Have
 Perfect Pedal Extremte5.

That Is Why So Few Persons Have
 Perfect Pedal Extremit;e5.
 A person with normal feet is very difficult to find. In fact. the doctors inform us that foot trouble is endemic ill the United States, aS well as in every enlightened country on the globe. The cause of this condition and the vast suffering which it entails is the unhygienic shoe.
 A thousand Porto Ricans whose feet had never been shod were examined. Not single diseased or deformed foot was found among them. A san Fran cisco surgeon, ill commenting on this fact, declares that among a thousand shoe wearing Americans there is hard Iy one with normal feet.
 The trouble is that the vast ma ,O"ity of our shoes are imp operly construct ed. The fashionable shoe seems hIilt to force the foot into shAp $ which,, however slightly, are n2vCrthe eSi ab- normal. That worn by thl m"S. eS is equally inimitaI to foot health. for the reason that it is constructed d with very little reference to the lines of th4 foot and without effort to adjust it to the normal movements of that member.
 The medical man presents he moe casin as the most wholesome foot coy ering yet devised. but very few are sanguine enough to hope that fashion will permit its general use. Next to the mOccasin, so we are told. is the shoe that not only permits the foot to perform it's normal functions unimped- ed, but strengthens it when ill use. This is the shoe that. instead of pinch ing the foot or forcing it into abnormal shapes or positions. actually fits it. Boston Herald

A UNIQUE RECORD
Very Few Like It In Our Broad
 Republic.

Grateful testimony for Doan's Kid ney Pills, published everywhere is ot itself convincing evidence of merit. Confirmed testimony forms still strong CT evidence. Years ago, a citizen o1 this locality gratefully acknowledged the benefit derived from Doan's Kidney Pills. The statement is now confirmed-the proof more convinc- ing. Cases of this kind are plentiful in the work of Doan's Kidney Pills the record is unique
 G. B. Storey, "A Spring St., Willi- mantle, Conn.,, says: ''I was so bad as the result of kidney complaint that I was unable to work. A dull pain across 1hy kidneys annoyed me con- stantly and couldn't stoop or straighten without sharp twinges darting through me. The kidney secretions were also unnatural and caused me annoyance. Doan's Kidney Pills rid me of the trouble. I will lingly confirm all that was said in their praise by one of my family some years ago ' ...

Love of Gossip.

One of the chief characteristics of the human race is nquisltlVeness-nOt so much about things and places and ideas as about each other. Every proper person Is Il born gossip, and the accomplished scandal monger is always welcome. provided. of course. his scandal is about others. You can test this at any time by considering who are the people you like best to meet and who are always surrounded by the greatest number of idle acquain- tances. Invariably you must be forced to the conclusion they are those who have made q business of acquiring in formation about others and retailing their knowledge in various dressings This love of gossip is further revealed in the kind of books which claim the widest appreciation. You will find that these books are not poetry. drama. science or philosophy. They are nov, els. memoirs. diaries. intimate histories, recOllectiOnS. letterS-al of them es- sential gossip (and sometimes scandal) appearing by their power to attract the gOSSiping sense which exists in all of us.-T P.'s London Weekly.
