possible delay. To accomplish this
you will find Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy of great help to you. 1t

Governor Glynn, the present chief
executive of New York, is recently
quoted as saying that having spent
half of his life in politics he will
retire at the end of his present term
and devote the balance of his days to
other pursuits. That is not a bad
resolve for a young man like the
governor to make. He is AZ, and
there is time for him to do lot for
himself, his country and humanity, if
he sticks to his good purpose. He
declares that he will leave a good
clean record behind him in the state
house, which is another good resolve.

DOCTORS DISAGREE.

The republican senators are not
harmonious in dealing with the cur
rency bill. Mr. Root one day pre-
sents the Wall street view; Mr.. Borah
OF Idaho on another day presents the
Rocky mountain view. The western
radical republicans are constantly
taunting the democrats with having
yielded to the money trust" and
with conferring upon private bank
ing interests" to quote Mr.. Borah,
complete control of the currency of
the United States" Mr.. Root SOL
EMMY condemns the insurance of
bank deposits, yet the Hitchcock bill
containing that very provision is in
dorsed by the republican members of
the banking and currency committee.
On that point Mr.. Bristow, republican
senator from Kansas, sharply differs
from Mr.. Root, republican senator
from New York. The bottom truth
is that a sectional division may be
discerned in this legislation. 1t runs
through the republican party as well
as the democrat party. The bill, af-
ter all that has been said in criticism
of 1t, is an extraordinary triumph OF
financial sanity, considering the his
tory OF the country and also the party
that is sponsor for it. Mr.. Roots
fear OF initiation, either of currency
or credit, is not liable to be realized
under the practical working of the
measure.

It is not always the virulent dis
ease that proves the most dangerous.
1t has just come to light that during
the past year SO persons have died
from whooping cough in Chicago.
Now, whooping cough is not account
ed very dangerous" It is generally
classed as mild" Measles is not
thought to be much of a disease, yet
a large number died from it. Ty-
phoid is a tough disorder and 21S
fell from its dread attacks. Scarlet
fever is thought to be dangerous, and
so it is, for $40 died from it. When
cities take proper caution in sanitary
matters there will be fewer deaths
from the contagious diseases. Ty-
phoid spells filth somewhere; filth
should have no place in a city like
Chicago.

1t is worth noting that President
Wilson has not taken a vacation since
he retired from the presidentcy of
Princeton, more than three years ago.
His election seems to have meant no
more than getting a new job, one OF
the most tiresome and thankless in
all the world. Not satisfied with the
routine OF executive office, he called
congress into special session, and
there it has been ever since. Surely
the most bitter enemy of the presi-
dent cannot say that he is not a good,
hard worker.

Have Courage.

At the beginning of a glad new
year, instead of making many resolu-
tions, try to increase your store of
courage.
Have the courage to tell man
why you will not lend him your
money.
Have the courage to wear your old
clothes until you can pay for new
ones.
Have the courage to prefer COM
fort and prosperity to fashion in all
things.
Have the courage to obey your
Maker at the risk of being ridiculed
by men.
Have the courage to discharge a
debt while you have the money in
your pocket.
Have the courage to do without
what you do not need, however much
your eyes may covet it.
Have the courage to provide for
the entertainment of your friends
within your means, not beyond them.
Have the courage to acknowledge
your ignorance, rather than to seek
credit for knowledge under false pre-
lenses.
Have the courage to speak your
mind when it is necessary you should
do so, and to hold your tongue when
ii is prudent to do so.
Have the courage to show that you
respect honesty in whatever guise 1t
appears, and your contempt for dis
honest duplicity by whomsover ex-
hibited.
Have the courage to cut the most
agreeable acquaintance you have
when convinced he lacks principle.
"A friend should bear with friends
infirmities," but not his vices.
Have the courage to pay your sub
scription to your home paper in ad-
vance. Don't let it run for three or
four years and then kick because you
get dun, and get "huffy" and order
your name off the list. Have the
courage to be manly about it, remem-
bering that the editor has expenses
which you know nothing about.
In theory. the exchange of New
Year calls and Christmas gifts is a
beautiful custom. The holidays is
time when kindly feelings and uni
versal good will prompt general
manifestation of regard in the ex-
change of calls and presents. 1t is
the friendship expressed in the fact
that it is valued.
The days, weeks and years slip
away like water in running stream.
Times great clock never loses a mo-
ment. Relentlessly, surely the mo-
ments pass, and our eager hands are
not able to detain them. We cannot
keep back the flying years, but we
can and should keep the blessings
they bring.
The new year will be what we
make 1t. SO far as our individual lives
are concerned, and the man or woman

Batavia, Java, April 30.-Madame LII

i'll. nearly a month ago, has had a re-
lapse and is sinking. The doctors give
up all hope of her recovery. She had
engaged passage for Genoa. where her

WRITES
Hutchinson r. M. Candidate
Wants His Job.
He Checks It Up to Neeley on
Ten Days of Grace.

The first effort to break up Congress
man Neeley's alleged plan to use the
of postofices for political
advancement, was made today when
Sam Graybill, OF Hutchinson. notified
the Seventh district congressman that
he would expect his appointment as
postmaster at Hutchinson within the
next ten days. Unless he is recon-
mended for appointment within that
time. Graybill asserted. he would with
draw from Neeley his support as a
candidate for the United States senate.
When Neeley returned to Kansas to
make campaign speeches he devised a
clever theory. He would keep the post
office candidates in the Seventh dis
trict waiting until after the August
primaries and would thus retain the
loyal support of all applicants for fed
eral jobs. Neeley decided to try the
plan in Hutchinson, his home town.
Both Coon Beck and Sam Graybill
were applicants for the job. Graybin
seemed certain of the place. Graybill
was to have been appointed weeks ago.
But the new plan seemed to mean the
extended friendship of both Graybin
and Beck to the Neeley cause and
ish ka bibble. Why should Neeley
worry?
Congress plans to adjourn at an
early date. Graybill planned to begin
cancelling postage stamps in Hutchin-
SCI thirty days ago. And his job is not
yet. So today Graybill took his type
writer in hand and in fluent German
dialect and emphatic English rhetoric.
he told Neeley what he thought Of the
situation and put a two cent on his
printed thoughts and stuck them IN the
mail box. Now it is up to Neeley.
For weeks Graybill has pleaded the
Neeley cause. He posted the four sheet
hangers and distributed the dodgers
for the Neeley meetings. He held open
the door of the hack while Neeley en-
tered. When the state laughed at
Neeley's egotism, GraybilPs heart was
saddened because the common people
did not understand true greatness. But
now Graybill is beginning to see q
great light He has notified the Sew
enth district congressman that he
wants the Hutchinson post office be-
fore any further campaign service IL

messenger boy, has turned car and

In Their Efforts to Bring About

He Has Already Accepted tho

Washington, April 30.-It was as

authority that South American envoys.
who are seeking to avoid crisis In

governments for friendly offices to

and the United States The appeal. 1t

as reported from abroad, that the

dent Wilson to name conditions which
would insure success Of the negotia-
tions.
The request to the powers, 1t Is de-
clared, already has borne fruit. az sew

ton to the negotiations. Denials OF

gard to this matter, it was pointed out.
powers had been asked to insist upon
q modification Of the attitude of the
United States.
Officials here who are in touch with
the negotiations insist that such action
was not even considered, and that the
friendly offices Of some of the Euro
pean governments had been extended
before the mediation ENJOYS made the
general request. 1t is believed here
that any steps taken by the European
governments probably would be limit
ed to emphasizing through their rep
resentatives. the hope that the media
ton would be successful and their de-
sire to facilitate this purpose. There
was no desire, 1t is said, on the part
OF these governments to interfere with
