Not Justified by Facts Presented.

IN. \. World, Demo
THE sensational element in regard
to the Lansing resignation lies in the
Presidents accusation Of usurpation
during his illness. That is a grave
charge for Il. President of the United
States to make against his Secretary
of State. and it cannot be left to the
realm of speculation and conjecture.
1t is a charge that the President is
under moral obligation to prove by
citations of cases. The cffense that
is alleged is one that is impeachable.
and the President has no right to let
it rest on his own general assertion.
1t is inconceivable that Mr.. Wilson is
angered by the mere fact that cabinet
meetings were hold or that Mr.. Ian
sing presided. These meetings have
been going on for months. and the
fact was known to the President. He
could have stopped them by II word.
No President is obliged to give rea-
sons for requesting the resignation of
u cabinet officer. but if reasons are
given at all. they should be complete.
They shCuId be reasons that satisfy
the mind and conscience of the 'coun
try. This is plainly a case for what
Mr.. Wilson himself used to describe
as 'pitilesS publicity On the basis of
the Presidents statement alone, the
drastic action he has taken is not
justified by the facts that he pre-

GOOD news FOR
INCONSISTENCIES

Neurasthenia is nervous exhaus-
ton. The general cause of this typi7
cally American disease is an excess
sive expenditure Of nervous energy
without proper rest. It often follows
an attack Of influenza.
Among the exciting causes are
worry. overwork accompanied by
anxiety, overstudy, lack of proper
food and exercise. In some cases
children are born with a tendency to
the disease.
Neurasthenia is generally accom-
panied by headache, a sense Of weak
ness in arms and legs. depression Of
spirits, sense OF fear of imaginary
things, boring sensations along the
spine, a craving for special articles Of
food. The Eeurasthenic patient often
loses weight, sleeps poorly. has bad
dreams and wakes unrefreshed in the
morning. All the symptoms of neu-
rasthenia indicate the need of a
tonic, free from alcohol and opiates.
Any news Of the successful treat
ment Of neurasthenia is good news
for victims Of the disease and they
will read with interest the following
interview with Mrs Y. S. Shepard, Of
No. "a Oak street, st. Adams, Vt.
II suffered from neurasthenia for
about two years." Mrs. Shepard ex-
planned. Il was left with the respon-
sibility of bringing up a large family
of children and it finally wore me
out and made me almost a physical
wreck. I was so nervous that 1t
seemed sometimes as though I should
fly. l worried lot and imagined
trouble. 1 didn't sleep well and had
little appetite.
"One day friend recommended
DR.. Williams Pink Pills and she was
so sure they would help me that /
procured box and began taking the
pills. I felt a little better after q
short treatment and continued talk
ing the remedy. Soon my appetite
improved. my blood was richer and it
wasn't long before my nerves became
stronger. no longer suffer from
spells Of nervousness and feel better
than I have for long time"
If your case is like that Of Mrs.
Shepard get a box Of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills at the nearest drug store.
Then write to the DIR. Williams Medi-
cine Co, Schenectady, n Y. for the

Editorial Comment
This Company Knows How to Treat
Mexicans.
(The Mexican Review

(The Mexican Review
There is one mining company in
this country that knows now to treat
the natives and that is the United
state Smelling, Refining and Mining
Co. Of Boston. Mass. Nj. b. Pres
ton Clark of Boston, speaking before
the Episcopal Church Congress in
New York, said of this concern:
1t has been my privilege to be
connected with a mining company
operating in Mexico. About ten
years ago we went there. We have
tried to treat the Mexicans as hui
man beings. We told them that we
did not believe the current legend
that no Mexican was worth more
than two pesos a day, that with US,
if a man did the work. he would fare
just the same, whether he was
American or Mexican, that in all
ways we should respect them and
their wives and families as we would
our own. We went to it as a human
proposition. The effect was pro-
digious.
This attitude brought out the
best there was in those people and the
best there was In US. For eight and a
half years Of revolution, under those
Southern stars, the roar Of our mills
has never stopped. Today 1000 men
operate them, Of whom 81 only are
Americans 0ess than 1917.
"Mexicans hold important positions
all along the line. 1 could spend an
evening telling you that story. How
we have fed them. fought typhus and
influenza with them, and how they
have done their part like men. Two
things must say. After Vera Cruz
we insisted that all our Americans
leave Mexico. The properties were
left in absolute charge Of Mexicans
for eight months. They stole moth
ing; they allowed no one else to
steal anything; they operated the
plants successfully, and returned
them to us in as good condition as
when our Americans came out.
''On another occasion $25O.0O0 in
bullion was stolen from the COM
pany. Our 5000 miners of their
own motion, when they heard of
this, saw to it that that bullion was
returned within "a hours, and within
4S hours it was on Ward liner
bound for Liverpool. Do you won
der that | trust them?'
