We're hafbingefs Of progress for an en-
shaved race. 1Xis nation was born
again and baptized in rivers OF blood
at Vicksburg, Atlanta, Shiloh, Gettys-
burg. the Wilderness, Cold Harbor,
Spottsylvania, Petersburg, Richmond
and scores of other fields, all culmi-
mating at AppomattoX. Those were
heroic days OF sacrifice. We are the
beneficiaries.
And so these American marines w
lost their lives at Vera Cruz are har-
bingers of better days for Mexico.
They were in the line OF duty in the
forward march of civilization. loose
welt states the case tersely when he
says no man is worth his salt who is
not willing to spend and be spent in
the service of his fellowmen. The
United States should make the lives
Of these men count for the benefit OF
civilization. We should insist that
Mexico be given a good government.
We should be rapidly passing the day
when bloodshed is necessary for the
progress of the race. Let us give to
Mexico our good officers in the cstab-
lishment of a just government as We
are. giving to Cuba. II we do this,
then the marines who died at Vera
Cruz will find place in the hearts or
Mexicans who shall live in future
years as the martyrs of Valley Forge
now occupy places in the hearts OF
patriotic Americans.-Nonpareil. =

REPUBLICAN PARTY AS "GAhG"

We have no thought of engaging in.
a controversy with the kiron News
as to the advisability Of republicans
returning again to their party. We
have always found it difficult to per-
suade one who has taken up new
idea thattit is mistake for him to
do So, because he enjoys the distinc-
ton OF adopting something new. We
have thought, however, that men who
were members of the republican party
at the time when the country, several
years ago, had gone down to a condi-
ton of depression and bankruptcy,
and with the return of the same re-
publican party into power, the country
became. prosperous to degree that it
had never experienced before, there
was something to appeal to indiyid-.
'ual republicans, but we find that when,
the country was most prosperous, q.
number of republicans. with what
reason we are unable to say, deserted
the party and joined the new move
ment which stands for nothing better
than the Republican party itself stands;
for. Most, Of the ,deserters have re-
turned to the party, but there ARE still
some who hang back and will not re-
turn to the fold, !, r,l.,ll ~ 9f.tt. ,.H z.
It may be. all right for the News to-
describe the rank and file. of the re-:
publican party as the "gang" and as
opposed to the best interests of the:
individual voter, bnt history will not
sustain the assertion. The record Of
the republican party has; been one in
favor of the individual, one to lit ri,
and benefit the individual and a:
slight reference to the history ofsthe,
country for the last twenty years will
justify the statement that not at any
tine lii tho past history OF tile scoun- :.
try has there been such individual
prosperity as during that period.
+ We have no desire to find fault with
the individual who, under the leader,
ship of Theodore Roosevelt. was at
tracted away from the republican
party, because such individuals have
to their credit the fact that, Perhaps
for many years they were republicans.
and; we should therefore give
them recognition of higher or
der than one who never was,
a republican. 1t is to be deplored
that they made the mistake OF leaving,
the republican party, but we indulge,
the hope that having once been repub-
leans and knowing the policies of the
party and the benefits which 1T has
brought to the country, they may re-
turn to the fold and be counted in the
future with the, republican, party.
We do not know. from what party
the editor of the News came, but we
make the prediction that if he is not
careful he will! find himself in the
near future supporting the democratic
party directly as .hesis now doing in
directly. We sincerely hope, how
ever, for better things to come to the
young man whose ability and enter
Prise are so conspicuous as to make
him effective in his profession.

shell. The mixture Of tinfertile incu-
bator eggs with fresh eggs inteferes
seriously with the clinking and forces
the packer to candle the eggs. He
then .deducts this added expense from
the price he offers to the producer:
Eggs which have once been suDJected
to the heat of the incubator cannot DC
stored, even though frozen. ~,
The farmer who sells incubator
eggs to the dealer, therefore, Is very
liable to injure his own market Tor
fresh eggs. When dealers find a per-
centage of low grade incubator or
other eggs in their fresh spring egg
supply they lower the price for all
eggs SO that they will be certain that
they have, covered themselves against
losses from this cause.-Stockman.

long as questions of Istatesmanship
and. patriotism are pressing for; solu-
ton it requires something besides
moral considerations to sove them.
1t is said that Mr.. Bryan declared.
before taking the office of secretary
OF state, that there should be no war
during the time that he filled this
position. 1t seems that the course
that he has adopted is one which
would prompt him to surrender the
dignity of his country to avoid war.
The. spectacle of this great govern
ment standing by and permitting her
citizens in Mexico to be :ruthlessly
murdered by the government of that
country is most humiliating. The rec
ords show that hundreds of worthy
American citizens have been assassin
ated on one &pretext or another by
the Mexican authorities, and yet the
commander in chief Of the army and
navy of the United States admonishes
''watchful and waiting" policy while
assassination and murder continue.
1t is difficult for American citizens
who have been taught that the Amer,
lean flag should protect our citizens
wherever found upon. the green earth
to realize that in. spite OF the flag
waving on the southern border OF our
country that atrocious acts are com
mitted against American citizens .liv-,
ing just across the line in Mexico. Is
it any; wonder that the policy OF the
present, administration is called a
&C., 3,,{o What Tho
country needs is policy that will
command the respect of the civilized
world and not; one that shrinks from,
responsibility. The country is grow!
ing restless under present conditions
aud because a student of conditions as
they exist, has the intellect to ,pene-
trate the feeble and ineffective poHs
cy1of the administration toward Mex
leo and the courage to declare himself
is no reason why he should be crit,
.cised and sought to be discredited
among his old friends and neighbors.'

The Cause and Control Of Cancer.

1t is frequently said that we do not,
know the cause of cancer. In one,
sense this is true. What it is that
starts the growth of cancer in the!
body is. as yet, an inscrutable mys-
terry. Years of experimentation and
research have not solved this. riddle
and the disease still remains the fore
most problem OF medicine.
On the other hand we know much
more than is commonly supposed
about the causes" of cancer, if by
',causes" we mean conditioning fac
tors We know, in some cases al
most to a certainty, the combinations
of circumstances which result in this
disease. A noted authority recently
undertook to write prescription for
cancer" He said that he could name
certain states of the, body, which, if
they occurred together, would be like
" to be followed by cancer; for in.
stance, syphilitic subjects with bad
teeth, who were confirmed smokers,
might reasonably be expected to de-
velop cancer of the tongue. Irritation,
for a long period in. any part of the
body may lead to the development of
cancer. s.,4 FRA 42tt fa
While we do not know just why can
Ger cells set up growth OF their own
outside of the law and order of the
human body, we can nevertheless de-
scribe great number of conditions
under which they have been observed
to do so. The influence of racial, local
and personal habits on different or.
gans, heredity, the evidence and ma
ture OF constitutional predisposition,
the influence, of chronic infection Of
wounds and other injuries. and many
other factors may be profitably studied
in connection with the development, of
cancer. incidentally. this is one Of
the ways in which cancer research
hospitals are of value. =
1t is not necessary to know the .ul-
innate cause of cancer in order to con-
troll the death rate from it. !. We can
remedy many 'of the. conditions under
which the disease develops by incrcas-
ing the knowledge rs to the facts
about cancer. Campaigns of educa-
ton have as their object the spread
ing of information about the disease,
and pointing out the need Of the earli-
est possible recognition of the symp-
toms in order that competent medi-
cal and surgical advice may be sought
in time. The American Society for
the Control of Cancer has recently
been formed to encourage and direct
this kind of educational activity in all
parts of the country. The society
plans to cooperate with all existing
agencies engaged in studying the dis
ease, and to publish in every city,
town and village OF the country the
message of hope which lies in the ear
ly recognition and proper treatment
of cancer. t- I} '.,l..,' .....

We find that oiling the streets as
a means of preventing the dust from
blowing is now generally recognized
as huge joke. We quote from the
Dexter paper enough to show that it
proved failure at that place: r.
"One does not have to remember
very far back when oiling the streets
was the daily topic of conversation.
but now one scarcely ever hears it
mentioned only as joke, Dexter
tried out the scheme to the tune OF
several hundred dollars with results
summed up as follows In wet, damp,
foggy and rainy weather the. oil holds
the dust down beautifully. and in dry,
hot and windy seasons it tends to
smooth the dust up, giving it a velvet
like consistency SO that it blows
around more easily and in greater
gobs. A few, however, still believe it
to be great stuff" q

OLD eERMANIA OPERA HOUSE.

The old Germania opera house is
not to be forgotten because it is super
seeded by the more expensive and COM
modious building which has just been
completed, and which on Monday
night was opened for the first time to-
furnish an entertainment to the peo-!
pie OF Denison. The. old building has
well for almost a quarter ia CEN
fury. .sg 80. 4sf
The German Verein, society
founded in 1881, was formed for the
purpose OF bringing together the Ger
man speaking people and providing q
suitable place for meetings. Funds
were raised by stock subscriptions
and the Germania opera house was
built at cost Of $1,000. Peter Dress
Her was the architect and Charles
Evers the contractor. The verein
was for many years the leading Ger
man organization in the county. At
one time it maintained a school for
the benefit of the German children,
where the German language was
taught. Prof. J. +. Harthun, who for
many years was the editor of the lei
tung, first came to DeniSon to conduct
the school,, 's,. "
The Germania opera house was used
not alone as meeting place for the
German people Of the community. but
for purposes where large numbers of
people were to be accommodated. For
number of years the lecture course
entertainments were held in the Ger
mania opera house. 1t was here that
congressman. United States senator's,
cabinet members. speakers of the
house OF representatives and vice
presidents were heard and many elo-
uuent speeches were delivered in this
hall. ,..iS y IA .@.~" ,.
Later on a spirit of enterprise
prompted the people Of Denison to
organize and build a hotel, hospital
and new opera house. At this time
the Germania verein decided the prop
erty to the Denison Improvement COM
pany, taking stock in sthe association
for payment, the verein retaining the
title 5of. the old opera house under this
arrangement until such time as work
on the new opera house should COM
mence. .a.s -.
In the course of time the ground on
which the old opera house stood was
sold to the government for a post
office building and there now stands
on the, site beautiful public, build
ing, which is. nearing completion. The
opera house was removed across the
alley and to the east of where it had
stood for SO many years and where it
now stands. ,a.s !,... w..
The old opera house may be super
seeded with the new one, which is per-
haps more commodious and orna-
mental, but there will always be tend
er memories clinging to the old build
Ing in the hearts OF Denison people. ,
= The building is refitted and is now
in condition to accommodate the pub;
lie on any ordinary Occa sion and we
predict that for many years to come
it will be of use to the community. !.

THE. BULLETIN AelTATEo

The Bulletin of last week was un-
duly asitated about the interview of
Hon. l.. NJ. Shaw, which appeared in
the Register and Leader earlier in the
week. We cannot understand this
nervous exhibition on the part of the
Bulletin and why it felt called upon
to! seek; to, discredit the author Of the
interview. 1t was intimated I'M the
Bulletin that Mr.. Shaw never had the
interview, but that some more ,ob.
scure character was the. author OF 1t,
and then, for fear the readers Of the
interview should treat it.as the. gen.
vine Interview of Mr.. Shaw, the Bull
letin. thought 1t the, proper thing to
attack Mr. Shaw in a. personal way.
Mr.. Shaw lived in Crawford county
quite too longsto permit the editor, OF
the Bulletin, because he was ipiqued
at what he thought might be the ct.
feet of the; interview upon the voters
Of the county, to effect his standing
or the influence of what he might
haves to, say. The Bulletin editor Is
so much of a democrat that If he had
his WAY about it he would bar public
discussion of political issues lest IT
might lave a tendency to weaken the
standing of his party, but, foreunate'
~, we. are living in the north where
ostracism does not follow a public
expression Of opinion. The Bulletin
evidently Inexperienced the, mean
ing intendedsto Sbe conveyed by Mr.
Shaw in referring to the grape
juice policytadopted by the present
administration, 1t was no attack up
on the temperance cause because eY-
eryone familiar with the, life. of Mr.
shaw. wheHhe lived in the county
knows that he was radically abstemi,
Gus. What the author of the interview
meant to. describe was the weak and
waiting" policy of the Wilson admin
istration. The criticism made by Mr..
Shaw is one that is made, not only in
this country, but in all other coun-
tries where statesmaEship' is appre-
ciated. t.If the administration must
be judged byf.its moral conduct, then

 The population of the Russian capital the streets resounded with the din of kept awake throughout the night, and patriotic demonstrations. A quick succession of special editions of the newspapers kept the excitement at boiling point and the vendors had a hard time in supplying those anxious to read the latest dispatches, which in many cases were read out aloud to the public round about.
 Huge processions paraded the streets, the demonstrations carrying banners and portraits of the Emperor. Loud cheers were raised for the Emperor and the army.
 Impromptu meetings were held in all parts of the city and the suburb4 and orators reused their audiences 10 an unprecedented frenzy of enthu- siasn.
 Striking scenes were witnessed at the mobilization offices. wl1ither peo- pie of all classes docked to register their names.
 The tension of feeling was so great that utter strangers on the street in their patriotic excitement greeted and embraced one another.
