DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

There is only one way TO cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness ia caused by an inflamed con.
dition Of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound of
imperfect hearing. and when it is en-.
tirely closed, deafness is the RESULT,
and unless the inflammation can be TAX

Professor William Howard Taft surprises US! lie not only sur
prises us, but causes us mental anguish! We are therefore both
surprised and panied!
There is something fundamentally wrong with Professor Taft or
with Colonel Roosevelt. 1t isn't a matter of mere politics that
divides them. Many a man has gone crazy over politics while per.
fectly sane on every other proposition. We are not at this moment
saying which of the two is the loonier regarding politics.
But, it seems the two gentlement hold Numerically opposite
views concerning the duties and obligations of the human race in the
matter of selfpropagaton. Colonel Roosevelt believes in large
families. He also believes that the highest attainment of citizenship
is realized when the men and women Of the highest education
the men and the women of the greatest intellectual force-the men
and the women of the greatest degree of physical heath-become the
fathers and the mothers of a progressive, aggressive, healthy gen
Grafton.
Professor Taft, if correctly quoted the other day, holds to the
view that the women-he mentions only the women-who become
college graduates should frown upon the marriage state, but should
single-handed, fill their respective inches in life without ever ex
periencing the joys and the sorrows of motherhood.
Professor Taft, we fear, is wrong-lntrinsiealy, fundamentally
inherently, economically, humanity, morally, religously, scientifcal
ly wrong.
If, by educating our daughters we are to turn them away FROM
family ties, leaving the lesser developed to perpetuate the race, we
had better close our colleges and technical schools to women-thl
sooner the better.

COMMERCE WITH WARNING NATIONS.

The Saturday News has observed the discussions in the press
with regard to suspending shipments of munitions Of war to warning
nations.
We admit there is some logic in the contention that Uncle Sam
should not sell war material to nations engaged in warfare, but it
occurs to this paper that it is rather late in the day to begin such a
course.
1t has been the rule among nations for neutrals to sell whatever
they could to either side. There has been no bar against even mu-
nitions OF war. Foodstufs have been sold promiscuously, the pur
chaser taking his chances on getting them delivered.
We cannot consistently change the course pursued for centuries
without snbjecting ourselves to the charge of changing for the pur
pose of helping one side or the other, 1t would. be in effect a waving
of our nutraity. IL 88#L#4
Germany is not asking us to take such a course either with re
spect to munitions of war or foodstufs. Germany knows the rule
it knows the custom-it knew the rule and the custom before it de
clared war, 1t is not asking us to change the custom of centuries II
the midst of the conflict.
II we are to make such a change, then we have been fearfuly
in error in sending shiploads of foodstufs to the suffering Belgians
for any help that we render them will only serve to assist them tx
assist the allies in prolonging the war.
No, we are not going to change our declared policy Of neutral
lity. ##

WILSON OR DEFEAT.

Some Of the political newspapers of the country are joining with
some of the republican leaders in averring that President Wilson is
engaged IN building Up a personal machine for political purposes.
These gentlemen are probably mistaken. Wilson no doubt
realizes that there is no one else within the democratic party who
stands a ghost of chance Of winning in the next national campaign
excepting Mr. Wilson himself. 1t is not necessary for him to con-
struct a political machine for personal purposes. Il he is engaged a
building a machine at aH-and Ire probably is-it is for the purpose
Of Strengthening the democratic party. The president doesn't need
it, so far as he is concerned.
But, Notwithstanding the personal popularity Of Mr.. Wilson,
il is q matter Of doubt whether, with the republican party united,
even Nh. Wilson can win the presidency again il the republicans.
bly, Mr. Whitman should he make good as governor Of New York.
The country is not satisfied with War-tax exactions in times Of
peace. 1t views with dissatisfaction huge pork barrel appropra-
