Waging War for the Future.
(BoSton TranScript.)

NboolOH VI
This war is not being waged by us
for this generation alone, but for the
welfare of all future time, and it is
only just that future generations
should bear some of the cost. More
over, the present generation, even
without any increase OF taxes, would
be paying the greater part Of the cost.
1t would be paying-it is now pay
ing-the cost in human lives, in
health, in domestic happiness, all Of
which it Is freely sacrificing for hu-
manity's sake. If we give blood,
shall not our children give at least a
large part Of the gold? We would
not shirk, We would not have the ma
ton shirk from paving now some
portion of the pecuniary cost of the
great war. But we would not have
that portion made so great as TO be
made burdensome to those who are
also paying the greater cost. the non
pecuniary cost which is calculated in
ruined homes, in widows and or
phans, in lifelong cripples. and I'M
uncounted soldiers graves If this
generation provides the human lives
and does the fighting. il will be equit-
able for posterity 10 provide mu n Of
the money and to do much of the
paving.

persuaded him to make the race for
the unexpired term Of sheriff, to
which he.easily was elected He was
honored with reelection seven diff
ferent times and served the people in
this most important office fifteen
consecutive years Four years ago
Mr.. Anderson declined reelection
and retired to private life. He cast
his lot among the people Of Houston
and is a large property owner and
foremost citizen Of that city.

An ENpertcd Body Blow.

Too much Importance must not be
assigned to the suggestion that the
fall Of Riga will not be a blow to
Russia. Apparently 1t was their
hold on the northern end of their
line at Riga rs we'll as the defense
offered by the Ptnsk marshes which
enabled the Russians to make their
final stand after the great defeats Of
1918. With Riga taken 1t is hard
to sec how the Russian line can avoid
falling back, at least on the northern
end. else 1t will expose itself to a
flank attack. The news OF the evac-
uation Of Dvinsk will probably come
soon. Whether Petrograd Is cvacu-
atcd or not. 1t Is hard to see any
thing but another body blow in the
fall OF Riga. TO say that by some
queer reverse action, the wavcring
Russian soldiers will have their cour-
age renewed Is to talk the language
Of inspired dispatches. Admiral

courage the other admirals," i, was
said. but Voltaire was the author of
that saying. g.
Riga is one OF the largest cities in
Russia and the second seaport in the
north. Founded by Germans in the
18th century, it has been long eyed
with greediness by the PanGerman
propagandists. Half the popSlation
Is still German, and the surrounding
! country Is dotted with villages whose
names are evidence of German innu-
ence. 1t is great seat Of that Ger
man element on which the Cars
have so greatly depended since the
time Of Peter the Great for the stub
born bureaucratic material which
constituted so large part Of the ma
chinery Of czardom and kaiser,lom
alike. Those who deny that the cap
ture Of Riga will put heart into every
junkcr are talking nonsense.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
catarrhal deafness, and that Is by
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
deafness Is caused by an inflamed
condition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian tube. When this tube is
initamed you have a rumhling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it Is
entirely closed, deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its
normal condition. hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Many cases of
DEAFNESS are caused by catarrh,
which is an intlamed condition of the
mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Medicine acts through the blood on
the mucous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
FOR any case Of catarrhal deafness
