RHEUMATISM DUE
TO impure BLOOD
Gates and Valves of Arteries Become
liberated and Organic Heart
Trouble Follows.

Thin, lifeless blood-an anemic
condition-often results in serious
attacks of infiammatory rheumatism,
and ultimately leaves the heart Grip
pied. This dangerous form of the
disease requires careful treatment
for the heart may be still further
injured by the use of Opiates and
narcotics.
Rheuma, the prescription OF a
specialist in rheumatic diseases, feeds
directly into the blood, insures its
healthy flow, enriches it, and tn
creases its vitality. 1t is free from
dangerous drugs.
Rheuma conveys fresh oxygen TO
all the organs of the body through
the veins and arteries, dislodges the
poisonous particles of uric acid which
have liberated the little gates and
valves, and passes them Noff through
the natural channels, the kidneys
and bowels.
While cleansing the organs of the
poisonous waste, Rheuma increases
the appetite and thereby renews the
vitality of the whole body.
Rheuma is sold by n. B. Danforth
Market and Second streets, for SC
cents. 1t is guaranteed by the manu-.
facturers to give permanent results.

SENIORS AND SENTIMENT.

THAT the senior class of the Wilmington High
Il school will hold It's entertainment and recep-
lion ia The Playhouse and the Rose Room Of the Hotel
Dupont this evening instead Of in the High School
building is the lasting credit of its members
That an unbearable situation created which
mpelled the senior class to abandon the High School
building as its social is lasting reproach to
those members of the Board Of Education who created
that situation.
THAT those teachers who have been coaching the
seniors their play and that those other teachers
who have taking direct interest in the impend-
ing entertainment and reception have been intmidated
and placed in position where they feel that they must
abandon their activities is outrageous abuse of Off
cia power and which self-respecting teacher
man or woman, should be subjected
That the auditorium of the High School was closed
today the seniors for rehearsal purposes and that
the use Of certain stage properties was denied them
for the presentation Of their performance in The Play
house this evening contemplate piece of bust
ness and too small to be INDUCED in countenanced
BY any man claiming be fit to occupy a seat in the
Board of Education.
What has been said above represents the sentiment
OF this community.
It represents the sentiment OF the fathers and moth
ers of those senior students.
Il represents the sentiment Of the parents Of all chill
dren Of school-going age in our city
1t represents the sentiment of the taxpayers whose
money built that High school, whose money maintains
that High school aud who the real owners of that
High School.
lt represents the sentiment that the time has come
when this autocratc domination Of High School affairs
by anitor and small clique of friendly Board OF
Education members must cease.
II represents the sentiment that the time has come
when a compiaisant majority in our Board Of Educa-
ton itself and enunciate policy that that
High School built by the people OF the people and
for the people and not by the ianor of the anitor
Ia do and
supporters in the board.
II also represents the sentiment that there are men
of affairs in this community who at last deter
mined know the Of the mysterious influence
which this ianor exercises upon certain board mem
bers Of that board.

purpose of deceiving the American
electorate and not for the purpose of
being redeemed honestly.
Those who say we must act be-
cause the President so advises have
very erroneous conception Of the
senatorial office.
They forget the powers and re-
sponsibilities of each and every sem
ator, as well as the limitation inn
posed by the Constitution on the ex-
ecutive.
No senator questions the patriotism
and high purpose of the President.
but If legislation is TO be made depen-
dent upon his will alone, no one can
predict the mischief to which such a
] precedent will expose this govern
ment in future years. The welfare
of one hundred millions OF freemen
cannot be dependent upon the judg-
ment of one man. If the Congress OF
the United States is to vote blindly
with regard to great public questions.
| trusting alone to the executive, and
acting on his judgment, whether right
or wrong, we invite a danger which
may involve the country in grave
peril and which may at any time pro-
duce a national catastrophe.
If ] would counsel the President
would remind him that whatever we
! owe foreign nations. we owe more to
the American people.
IL is idle talk of national honor
when we seek to meet unfounded de-
mands by infiicting injustice and dis
honor upon our own people.

Colonel Roosevelt in reply to Sir Clements Markhams
criticism Of the coonels claim that he had discovered
new river in South America, retorts by saying that
all the maps bearing upon that part Of South America
which he traversed are utterly wrong" In other
words as usual everything is wrong except the in
fable colonel II develops by his admission,
that he did discover the river referred to often
within the three weeks. but that he merely
mapped it, The lower part of it has been known to
the rubber gatherers for many years the Arponan
while the upper part of it also long has been known
to them the Castanano. Therefore, by process OF
elimination the fact is revealed that the coopes
called discovery doesn't much so far as the
geographical world is affected.

uNsTlNTEp PRAIsE FOR ACCUSED JUDGE.

rT>HERE must be something radically wrong in con-
necton with the charges that have been filed in
Congress against Federal Judge A. j. Dayton, OF West
Virginia If there not certainly the Ohio County
Bar Association of that State would adopt by
imous vote resolution OF confidence in the integrity,
ability and courtesy of the accused member Of the Fed
era judiciary.
The resolution adopted under such extraordinary
circumstances is in itself the highest sort Of test
monial It is follows:
That the members of this association, practition-
ers the bar Judge Dayton's court found him at
all times fair and impartial to beth hgants and court
and considerate his treatment of all persons ap
pearing before him. That We have entire confidence
in the fitness and integrity of Judge Dayton and highly
the upriehtness and loyalty of his character
citizen of the State and that have abiding faith
IN his determination all times discharge the duties
Of his high Office fearessly well mpartially"
Il is difficult to how the charges filed stand
in the face OF such unqualified praise of the judge by
all the lawyers in the West Virginia county most Wit
ally affected by the Congressional proceeding.
Evening journal., 1914-05-15

/ intend TO consider briefly the legal I
economic and political aspects of this
question. In my judgment, the British
claim that the exemption is a violation
of the treaty has neither law nor
justice to sustain it.
It is said that Great Britain and the
other nations have the same rights to
the use of the canal that the United
States has. If that be so, what COM
pensation does the United states de-
rive from the investment of S400, 0,000,-
600 and for the S17,000,O00 annual de-
ficit in the operation of the canal?
The United States must have some
rights, because it is declared that the
United States shall have all the rights
incident to the construction as well as
the exclusive right of management
and regulation. What can these be if
they are not rights of ownership and
control, subject only to the permits
sion to other nations to use the canal
on such terms as the United States
may impose?
Do we owns the canal, or are we
only an international caretaker, with
no special privilege except to foot the
bills and to maintain a sufficient
military force to defend the canal and
preserve its neutrality?
Did we engage in this great un-
dertazing primarily for the United
States and incidently for the rest of
the world, or primarily for the world,
without any particular advantage to
the United States?
In the treaty the following words
may be noted, that "the nations OBJ
serving these rules shall use the
canal Oh terms of entire equality"
How can an owner be on terms of
entire equality with the mere
grantee of a privilege? Where a
| foreign country fails to observe the
rules, its ships will not be permitted
to use the canal. Will it be claimed
that the United States will be denied
the use of the canal if it fails to OBJ
serve the rules which it establishes
Who would prohibit the ships of the
United States from using the canal
If 1t neglected to observe any OF
these rules? The other nations, how
ever, for whom the United States
makes these rules, do stand on an
entire equality, and it is to them
that the term "all nations" refers.
A foreign battleship, for instance
must pay toll, but it surely was
never intended that an American
battleship must pay toll passing
through our own canal.
But let me turn to the economic

mental railroads of the country used
their powerful influence and resort
ed to every device to prevent the
construction of an isthmian canal.
Railroads dread water competition,
because that means cheaper rates.
No railroad ever secured control of
a competing water line on this conti-
nent without destroying competition.
Now that the Canal is built, the
same malign influence is endeavor-
ing to minimize its service to the
public.
The free Canal means encourage
ment to independent shipbuilders to
construct vessels to engage in the
Canal trade and thus develop an i'm
portant American industry.
It will reduce the cost of shipping
thru the Canal to a minimum and
thereby compel competing railroads
in the United States and Canada to
reduce their rates to a competitive
basis. Every ton of freight other.

roads to charge at least that amount
as additional freight; and on {

freight from ocean to ocean, the rail
roads Will receive $50 more than the!
would if the ships went thru withou
the payment of tolls.
