SPAIN PICKS WEYLER,
II, TO UPLIFT Army
Man Who Caused Cuban war
Heads General Staff.

Weyler has been appolhtcu Vieslue"N
Of central general staff. which has
lust been created by royal decree, ac-
cording TO Havas dispatch from Ma
drid.
General Weyler was Governor. OF
Cuba lust before the Spanish American
war. His policy of severity IN waglhg
v,ar on the revolutionary movement
and particularly his action IN forcing
the concentration of the rural popuia-
tion in certain sections, has generally
been regarded as having had much 10
do with the bringing about OF that war
After his return 10 Spain General
Wevler's reputation as an iron handed
soldier brought him appointments to
positions where energy and even stern
measures seemed 20 be required. his
appointment in 1900 as Captain Cen
oral of Madrid resulted in more than
one ministerial crisis lie was Minister
of War i'm 1901 and again in 1900. In
1909 he was appointed Captain General
Of Catalonia. with headquarters at Bar
celona, where the Ferrer disturbances
were quelled by him without blood
shed.
IL was recently announced that the
Spanish government had decided to re-
organize its entire army system. The
appointment of General Weyler TO the
newly created position of president of
a central general staff is an indication
that the veteran soldier, who is in his
seventy-seventh year, continues to be a
power in the military service OF Spain.

SOCIETY GIRLS.

Ever so often the papers
chronicle the fact seemingly as
as unusual occurance and as a
thing that might well cause
surprise to all well informed
folks-that somebody who is
referred to as a society girl"
has consented to do something
useful. Headlines TEEN with
descriptions of daughters of a
hundred earlS who in an aban-
doned moment has left all and
in the future intends to devote
herself entirely to nursing
wounded and handsome SOL
diers, providing for the wants
of inquisitive urchins in settle
ment houses, Offering herself
as a willing victim to the screen
drama, raising a fund for the
erection of monument to OBJ
scure mound dwellers, or pro-
viding for the fall of second
Adam in plotting for suffrage
cause.
According to the manner cf
these descriptions the fateful
decisions of these radiant crea-
lures transforms them at once
from careless dancing butter
flies of fashion to drab and So
ber worker bees. The thing is
very important, no doubt
about that, but whether as a
loss to society or a gain to the
particular cause, is never quite
clear.
We do not believe any such
creature exists as this society
girl" We believe that at the
present day there are very few
woman whose time and inter
est is devoted wholly either to
what is indistinctly called so
ciety' or to the causes of up
lift. We believe that there
should not be anyway. Women
have more than ever before
been engaged in social and hui
manitarian enterprises but we
do not believe that this should
in the least interfere with all of
the same and healthy frivoli-
ties that they can indulge in. A
modern girl can very well be a
Florence Nightingale, Susan
Anthony, a Jane Addams, or
an Ida Tarbell, and be a heroine
of the society column as well.-

The Standard Remedy

DISCONIFORT

Indigestion and constipation are
two conditions that are closely re-

cal suffering.
The tendency to indulge ones ap-
petite is more or less general and
most people suffer at one time or
another from rebellion of the over
taxed organs of digestion elimina-

dy, that will quickly relieve the con-
gestion Of poisonous stomach waste
and restore regularity, is the COM
pound of simple laxative herbs sold
In drug stores for fifty cents bot
tie under-tAe name of DIR. Caldwells
Syrup Pepsin. This is a mild, pleas
ant laxative tonic, free from opiates
or narcotic drugs, and has been the
standard household remedy in
thousands OF homes for many years.
Mrs. Oliver Young, Merrill, Wis.
writing to DR.. Caldwell, says, she
knows of nothing so effective for
regulating the stomach and bowels;
since taking DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin she feels ten years younger;
her work seems easier and she has

JUSTICES!

Frequently the daily news,
papers contain references to the
work of solicitors-those men
whose business it is to repre-
sent the state in the courts of
law.
In nearly every instance
where such reference is made
either the newspaper or the So
licitor himself boasts of the
number of convictions secured.
A stranger to our constitu-
ton, and to the underlying
principle of our system of JUS
tice, which is that every man is
innocent until his guilt is estab-
lished, would assume from these
newspaper articles that our SER
want, the solicitor, is hired to
convict, without regard to the
guilt or innocence of the ac-
cuSed.
The strangers assumption
would not be wide of the mark.
Our point of view and the So
licitor's point of view are the
result of politics-that thing
that has corrupted every de-
partment and every activity in
our government.
Courts of law are instituted
among civilized men for the
purpose of serving the ends of
justice.
And yet all men who are at
all familiar with the subject
know that solicitors will bend
every energy to secure con-
vjction and seldom if ever as
sist in establishing the inno-
cenSe of the accused.
The reason for this is OBJ
vious. If solicitor establish
es a high batting average, the
voters will have q correspond
ingly high regard for his
shrewdness, and because he is
a good hand at working on the
emotions of a Jury he may de
pend upon a fat lob while hi4
powers last.
There is another vicious prac.
ice, akin to the perverted atti,
tude of solicitors, that should
he given immediate attention.
Sheriffs, policemen and CON
stables are developing the habit
of shooting or shooting at pris-
oners or accused persons on the
slightest provocation.

PLANNING FOR
THE COUNTRY.

City planning no longer
needs defense, though it some
times needs urging. Every
body admits its needs, though
they may be slow in adopting
it's ideals. But rural planning,
touched upon at the recent con-
ference of the American Civic
association at Washington,
needs the sort of propaganda
work that city planning did two
decades ago. 1t still seems 10
be the idea that man should
look carefully after the city,
but That Providence is directing
the development of the coun-
try.
1t was entirely logical if
startling, to have Prof. Frank
A. Waugh, a pioneer in country
planning, advocate that the
same care be exercised in plan
ming country roads that is exer-
cised in laying out city streets !;
that the same attention be Civ
en- to country homes that is Civ
en- to the city blocks; that the
same intelligence be expended
on arranging a farm as in lay
ing out city subdivision.
There is plenty of public
land, as he pointed out, in the
country where beginnings may
be made. There are the roads,
which constitute one of the big
gest problems; the schools, and
, the churches. THESE need to
be studied, as to location and
character of construction.
But in country, as in city,
planning should center about
the home. 1t is not exaggera-
tion to say, for health records
will bear it out, that the aver
age farm house is a breeding
place for disease.
Poor ventilation, arrange
ment, lighting and heating mark
the average farm house, even of
more modern construction. Pro-
vision for the agricultural en-
ploye is worse, though that for
his employer is bad enough.
Arrangements for social inter-
course are inadequate; the
movement to get full value for
investment in school houses
and churches has only just
started. Moreover, with the
growing road building, the
country faces the same condi-
tion that cities face, having al
terations made in streets at
enormous cost which might
have been saved by intelligence
in the first place.
Country planning is going to
be harder than city planning,
for its needs are going to be
harder to demonstrate to those
who will be benefited. John
Jones, of this city, can recog-
nize Tom Smiths needs when
Tom Smith lives jam up
against the wall. But Farmer
Jones will find it harder to en-
thuse over Farmer Smiths
needs when Farmer Smith lives
half way across the state.
Country planning, therefore,
must be a state problem. 1t is
too big for communities to-
handle alone. 1t requires that
wise provision and supervision
which can be had only by ap-
plying the best intelligence Of
a state to that portion where,
with few exceptions, more than
half its population lives, and
where that part of the popula-
tion lives which keeps the city
man clothed and fed.-Ander-
son Mail.
