Americas Great Buildings.
From the Boston Herald.

The completion Of the new union sta
tion at Kansas City. to be opened on
the last day of this month, the third in
size in the nation, suggests the type of
edlhce which has become most repre-
sentative of American progress. In
ecclesiastical architecture we are far
behind the old countries of the world,
as the events of this terrible war have
frequently brought to light. We might
well think ourselves deficient in ca
pacity as builders did we not in GER
tain directions carry achievements to
heights never before realized. The
union station is such a development.
The new Grand Central station In
New York city and that Of the Penn
sylvania railroad at 34th street, with
the tunnel connections under the two
rivers and the island itself, constitute
an achievement that it is worth going
to Gotham to see. The St. Louis ter
minal, some visitors at the worlds

as the great show itself. Chicago has
stupendous railroad terminal now
under way, although necessarily for
only part of the lines conversing in

modate them AL would take on TIN.

of the fact that the Turkish act OF war
was committed on the Black sea, will
doubtless be the engagement OF Russian

would probably follow as a first conse-

Kansas.

Victor Murdoch, the bull moose candi-
date for senator, is entertaining the
Kansas people with descriptions OF sena-
torial customs as he sees them, and
nromtses of what he will do to amend
them If elected to that body. According
to his Advertisement, the Senate Is much
behind the times, and needs to be
brought up to date.
So thought William A. PETER twenty
four years ago. and on the strength OF
hfs Advertisement and his promise. OF
what he would do if sent to the Senate
the people of Kansas sent him. He
served one term. Was any revolution III

him? If so, history gives no account OF
1t. He fell in with the established order
easily. played his part modestly. and at
the end of six years retired.
At the same time Jerry Simpson Sc
cured election to the House by similar
means. He told the voters of his KAN
sas district that the House needed shak-
ing up, and declared that he was the
man for the job. He pictured body in
bondage to precedents. inclined to loaf:
and not prescriptions about handling
the peoples money. All he asked was an
opportunity to set things right.
He got the opportunity. The voters put
him in commission, and he appeared in
Washington full panoplied for the re-
forms he had promised. The result? The
House refused to take him seriously.
and presently he ceased to take himself
seriously. He made a few speeches,
which entertained, but he Influenced no
legislation, and when his time was up
he had nothing to show for his services
but his salary. A kindly man. of good

The Hartford Courant.

The Hartford Courant. which is the
oldest living newspaper on this con-
t:nent. has just celebrated it's 150th
. anniversary by the issue of a birthday
edition of 144 pages. which is notable
among the special souvenir issues Of
American journals. The Courant first
appeared October 90, 1864. and since that
date has been published regularly, and
always under the same name. 1t was
not the first paper that was published
m this country. but it is the oldest
survivor of all of the early journals.
II was born dozen years before the
Emitted States, printing the Declaration
of Independence as news the 18th of
July. II having required eleven days
for the tidings to reach Hartford from
Philadelphia. The birthday edition of
the Courant is a remarkable issue,
sweeping the field of American develop
tuent in all branches. and particularly
tracing the history of the Courant itself
and sketching the development of
American Journalism during the CEN
tuiy and half of it's own existence
The uninterrupted publication of the
Courant from the first day of it's issue
80 years ago to the present time is
not only in itself a remarkable per-
torrance, but the Courant is today one
Of the strong newspapers of the United
States. a journal of influence in its
community. its editorial policy having
been from the outset established upon
the highest principles, and its editors
including men of eminence in national
affairs. The paper has always stood
for the best of American citizenship.
and 1t has well deserved the large sue
cess that has attended its production.
The Star. q comparative youngster at
the age Of nearly sixty-two. congratu-
lates the Courant upon the completion
of its third half-century and wishes
for it prolongation of it's prospe rity
and an extension of its usefulness.

Patience, Good Friends.

Thanksgiving is a joyous time.
When friends all gather near
To utter sentiments sublime
And fill the world with cheer.

No beauty is complete.

France. What does it matter whether
any particular story of cruelty or bru-
tality is true or false? The all-envelop-
.ns cruelty and brutality of war is the
terrible fact. Whether with conscious
individual cruelty or without 1t, soldiers
of all nations are the instruments of
the barbarous devastation of homes and
hearths. They are reversing the usual
meaning of women and children first
and the children and the mothers and
wives are first in desolation and suffer

out. Let your concern be to do what you
can to mitigate the horror of the

There must be genuine merit to an
article that has stood the test of
two generations of users.
In the field OF medicine none has
had greater success, nor retained
that success to a greater degree, than
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which is
now being used by three generations
of people. Its use in families is con-
stantly becoming more general The
reason, primarily, Is that it has merit.
1t is what is represents itself to be, a
laxative-tonic; 1t does not make exag-
gerated claims nor use coarse languages
to set forth its virtues.
1t is a medicine, but so mild and
gentle medicine that thousands of
mothers give it to tiny infants, and
yet, in a slightly larger dose, 1t is
equally effective for grown-ups. 1t is
for any disorder of the stomach liv-
/ er or bowels, for constipation no mat
