1t is time the nations of Europe who
have gone bankrupt in the present
war, began to talk peace: But
whether they will do it or not in the
near future, can not be said. Henry
Clews, the New York banker, thinks
they will. Early summer is his date
for overtures to be made, with peace
terms completed by fall. In summing
up his opinion of results Mr.. Clews
thinks that nothing will be gained to
the nations engaged There may be
a little slicing of territory from the
smaller nations which will tend to con-
tribute to more permanent peace. He
extols the bravery of all the nationali-
ties engaged and does not believe
that there will be another such war,
either between the present belligerents
or between any other of the power
full nations. inasmuch as nothing can
be gained by such wars other than
loss Of life and property and suffer
ing such as must continue through
years after its close.

WILSON AND THE CONSTITUTION

Congressman Horace Mann Towner
OF the Eighth Iowa district used to be
judge and a lecturer on constitu-
tional law-which probably accounts
for his old-fashioned notion that the
Constitution is still an instrument to
be consulted and followed At any
rate, he seems to be the only member
of either branch of Congress who has
invoked that ancient document in sup
port OF any contention which has been
brought forward in connection with
the Presidents remarkable demand
for a vote of confidence" from the
national legislature.
Judge Towner believes that Ameri.
ing on armed merchant ships and he
declares that Congress has an un
doubted right to legislate on that sub
ject, a right derived from the con
stitution itself, and right which has
constantly been exercised since the
days OF the first congress.
1.-The President" says Judge Town
err, contends that the consideration
by congress OF resolutions regulating
passports to our citizens or clearance,
Of vessels is in interference with hi
prerogatiye as President.
1.-The fact is that the regulation o
foreign commerce is committed Il
congress by the express terms Of thu
constitution. In the first congress
that met following the adoption Of tn
constitution April 30. 1890. provision
was made for the punishment Of any

1t is possible that the subject OF edu-
cation is being overworked. The col
leges are turning out pauper pro
fessionals along every line in over
crowded classes. A good farmer or
good tradesman is being spoiled to edu-
cate boys and girls for professions
which they find SO crowded as to offer
little or no foothold for more begin
ners. A trade or an occupation well
learned, was always the equal of col.
lege diploma, and the young man, SO
equipped has very often proven the
more useful citizen. Many college
youth of today absorbs during his col
lege course much that is vicious from
associations. and this seems more easy
to retain in after years than the more
practical things learned. The rea
education of life is that which is bea'
into the boy and man by experience
after he has begun to fight its battles
Then he is taught the things he mus
know in order to succeed; taught then
by reyerses and failures and hare
blows. In that school he must g
through It all over again, and he mus
work his own way.

THE BROAD GAUGE

In January thirty million dollars OF
railroad bonds, bearing four and a
half per cent interest, were offered at
par and taken so quickly that the sub
scription books closed almost as soon
as they we're opened.
The information contained in the
foregoing paragraph is the most i'm
portant -of-Marshall-pass
news which has come under our obser-
walton in three years.
The real reason that the pass has
not been standardized before this time
has been because the company has re-
fused to pay seven and a half per cent
interest on the money necessary to
make the improvement.
Three years ago. or whereabouts, the
D. & R. G. company voted an issue of
$20,00O,00 worth of bonds, a part of
which was intended to be used in the
broadgauging of the pass. When the
bonds were placed on the market they
could not be disposed of for less than
seven and half per cent. The result
was that only enough of the bonds
we're sold to meet the most pressing
emergencies of the road at that time
The higherups of the company, when
they have been pressed for definite
statement regarding the broad gauge
over the pass have almost invariably
intimated that the company was more
anxious to make this improvement than
were the people living along the route
but they could not afford to do it on
seven and half per cent money.
When we learn that thirty million
dollars of railroad securities we're
gobbled up in the short time which it
takes to open and close the subscrip-
ton books at four and a half per cent,
it means that railroad money is get
ting sufficiently cheap to enable the
into improvements in their lines.
The D. & r. G. and it's cooperating
lines, the Missouri Pacific and the
Western Pacific have been undergoing
accomplishments curing Ine past lew
months. and we take 1t that when this
re-adjustment has been completed the
D. g. R. G. VIII be in shape to COM
mand four and half percent market
for their bonds, which, on the basas of
the reasons herein given why the Sa-
lida-Montrose line has not been here
tofore broadgauged, means that we can
reasonably look for the broad gauge
before many days now.
II we are to take the word of the
railroad folks. themselves. for it, four
and half per cent money win have
more to do with the Fastening OF the
broad gauge over the pass than any
other one thing. Hence one can easily
see the significance to us of the infor-
nation coming from the money centers
to the effect that railroad bonds are
now selling not only readily but en-
Enthusiastically at four and a half per
cent.--Montrose Enterprise.

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of Sc
rious illness, makes a chemical analysis
of the patients urine. He knows that I'M
less the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are sure
to follow. Therefore, it is particularly
necessary to pay more attention to the
health of these important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as a kidney remedy is
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation, in most cases, is soon real
lied, according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention,
get Swamp-Root at once from any phar-
macy. 1t is sold by every druggist in bot
ties of two sizes-5Oc and $1.00.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

WOMAN FARM EXPERT

farming than most men know, and
who also knows how to impart her
knowledge. Therefore the department
has appointed her farm demonstration

in showing the young men and women
Of that part of the country how to
make farming profitable and pleasant.
Miss Hoyl Skinner-for that is her
name believes she can do much to

from the country to the city. One
of her specialties is poultry raising,
and she thinks this industry can be
largely developed in the South. She
also knows a lot about canning, and
hopes to teach it to the boys if they

that it is too feminine an occupation.
