WASHINGTON AND KINGsHIP

The recurrence of Washiugtons birthday brought out the usual annual crop speeches in which feryd orators said that the Father of His Country had re- fused crown or course the statement is not cor rect Washington was offered a crown, and there never was any chance that he would be offered one. There were Americans who wished to make Washington King-among whom, 1t is said, was Alex ander Hamiton-but no serious effort was ever made toward committing the American people to the pTopo sI,i,n and no such effort. no matter how seriously It might have been put forth, would have been ser iously considered by the country. However, let is be said to the credit of Washngton's sanity and de- yotion to republcanlsm that he was opposed to hay ing King or being King and would not listen to any suggestion of agitation of the question But be- tween the firing of the first gun at Lexington April 19 1775. and late this afternoon there has been no time when there chance for monarchicaI form of government in this country.

THE AMBASSADOR CAN BEAR IT

On the whole think Ambassador Gerard can read the comments on his departure printed in The LokaI Anzeiger of Berlin without pain. though they may no, have been intended to be entirely friendly.
 The Auzeigcr declares that he was outspoken friend of Germany and. in effect says that he might have kept the relations between this country and Ger. many in pIeasanter state if he had had more sym. pathy with the German position. But the Anzeiger is equally clear that Mr. Gerard was no friend of Great Britain, either.
 Whether or not this German authority thinks the Ambassador was faithful his duty toward his own country and protected it's rights loyal American should do we do not know but at least he is not charged with any unfaithfuness in this his most i'm portant relation
 Therefore the complaint boils down to this: that the Ambassador kept his head. reDressed whatever sympathy he may have had for any country but his own and did not become GermanOphile at a time when his country vigorously asserting its rights against Germany.

 Among the bills recently passed by the senate without debate was intended to extend greater protection to the life of the President It pToVueS severe penalties for threats. written or spoken aSa!nSl rhe life of the President of the United states. ' came as a surprise to some members Of the senate when the bill up that there was no IeueE"I '"" in existence upon this subject
 It hurts American pride that special precautions must be taken to safeguard the life of the President The guards around the White House the secret ser vice men who are always, although unobtrusVely on hand, wherever the President goes in the eyes or some sentimental theorists should be unnecessary ios the best protection of the President should be tha; which he receives from the people themselves.
 How flimsy this protection may be IS shown Dy the regrettabe fac, that since the foundation or the United States more chief magistrates of the American people have fallen victims of assassination than cheIS of any other country in the world, save Turkey.
 Of course. the President is never in danger save at the hands of cranks But there has never been a President since the Civil War whose life has not been threatened by crauks and three Presidents have fallen victims 10 men or less disordered mentality The time to deal with the crank who threatens the life of the President is before the threat is carried into execution

FUR FARMING

(EaldeZ Mincr)
 A splendid opportunity is offered men with a little money to invest to make stake in fur farming. Good foxes for breeding purposes cost $2OO per pair and from five ten pairs are sufficient to start man in business There arc any number of islands on Prince William Sound which be rented for a nom lnal sum the government These islands are heay- fly ,imbered with good water and plenty Of sandy beaches for the foxes to get their food from, and living would be both cheap and convenient for the fur farmer. the waters teem with halbut cod and other food fishes and the bays full of clans and other shell fishes. For the man who is weary or town life there is surgr or more pleasant occupa' ton than fur farming. The animals practically take care of themselves and require but little attention save at the breeding Several men in this vicinity ar conducting such farms, and they are long past the experimental stage. With the probable eN cepton of clothing. the investors expenses would be practically nothing while his crop was growing, as geese ducks and fish abound in the waters, and many varieties of game in the hills should have enough capital to purchase a few pairs of foxes erect and furnish house, and buy seaworthy boat which with very few supplies would be all that ii necessary.

STOMACH MISERY
AND INDIGESTION
"Pape's Diapepsin" makes sick,

feel fine,

Do some foods you eat hit back
taste good. but work badly; ferment
into acids and cause a sick, sour,
gassy stomach? Now, Mr.. or Mrs
Dyspeptic, jot this down: Pape's
Diapepsin helps neutralize the excess
sive acids in the stomach so your food
won't sour and upset you. There new
er was anything so safely quick, so
certainly effective. No difference how
badly your stomach is upset you usual
ly get happy relief in five minutes
but what pleases you most is that il
helps to regulate your stomach so you
can eat your favorite foods without
fear.
Most remedies give you relief some
times-they are slow, but not sure.
,Pape's Diapepsin' is positive in neu-
tralizing the acidity, so the misery
won't come back very quickly
You feel different as soon as "Pape's
Diapepsin' comes in contact with the
stomach-distress just vanishes-your
stomach gets sweet. no gases, no
belching, no eructatlonS of undigested
food, your head clears and you feel
fine.
Go now, make the best investment
you ever made, by getting a large
fifty-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin
from any drug store. You realize in
five minutes how needless it is to suf-
fer from indigestion, dyspepsia or any
stomach disorder due to acid fermen-
tation.-Advertisem

noon. Three dirty little boys had
counted the gold pieces and disagreed
IN their results. A recounting was IN
order and another, until everyone
found himself following in their "one,
two, three" Old whiskers moved up
and down to the swing of ''one. two"
Pretty pointed chins were moving in
unison. All but the Riddles agreed that
there were forty-three. One said it
was forty-two and the other forty.
The coins are to be awarded as
prizes in the sewing contest given I'M
der the auspices of Pelletier's store.
The contest is open to every woman in
Topeka with the exception of profess
siona1 dressmakers and employees of

Eyesight so per cent In One
Weeks Time In Many Instances

tons may be wonderfully benefited by fol-
lowing the simple rules Here is the pre-
scriptiOn: Go to any active drug store
and get a bottle of Bon Optic taL'ets. Drop
one Bon-Opto tablet in fourth of a glass
of water and allow to dissolve With this
liquid battle the eyes two to four times
daily. You should notice your eyes clear
up perceptibly right from the start and in
Illumination will quickly disappear. If your
eyes are bothering you. even little. take
steps t. save them now before it is too
late. Many hopelessly blind might have
been saved if they had cared for their eyes
in time.
Note: Another prominent Physician to
whom the above article submitted.
said: "BOn-OptO is very remarkable
remedy. Its constituent ingredients are well
known to eminent eye specialists and wide
ly prescribed by them. The manufacturers
guarantee it to strengthen eyesight so per
cent in one weeks time in many instances
refund the money. 1t can be obtained
from any good druggist and is one of the
very few preparations 1 feel should be
