tween the department and the Mexi- can Foreign Office as regards recog1ll- ton.
 Mora apropos of this situation was the official announcement from the Mexican Foreign Office concerning the real meaning of the recent decision ot the Mexican Supreme Court with re- gard to the retroactivity of Article 27: Previously the State department had several times tacitly acknowledged the Supreme Court of Mexico might be regarded as within the category Of competent auth orities'' when 1t came to the question of giving guaran- tees of American interests in MeXlco.
 Therefore the official announcement of the Foreign Office was read with unusual interest in Washington as be- ing the most definite statement as to the real purport of the Supreme Court decision. The language of the Foreign Office statement leaves noth- ing to be desired in the way of guar antees that Article 27 cannot possibly | be regarded as confiscatory within the interpretation of the Mexican Su- preme Court. Should the official text of the decision prove as conclusive as the statement appears to be there | is little doubt here that recognition Is | thing of the near future.

THE MOTHER OF MEDICINE

 1Jippocrates, the Father of Medi- cine" many centuries later, knew less of the merit of vegetable drugs than did the women of ancient times.
 Lydia F. Pinkham nearly fifty years ago, gave to women her Vege- table Compound, now known every where as Lydia D. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound. This is a woman's medicine for woman's ailments, pre- pared from medicinal plants.-Adv.

amusing mistake occurred some time
 ago when Senator Jim Reed, Of
 Missouri, was attacking Volsteadism.
 ''The sacred rights of the ancient
 Britisher extended to his curtilage,
 said Reed in referring to the British
 law that a mans home is his cas- tie.
 Stenographer Makes Error. Instead of curtilage the reporter
 wrote it garage" and the laugh was
 on Reed until the error was correct ed.
 Slips of this kind, however, are tors and Congressmen are harder to take than others, while each report CT has his favorite.

 Previously Senators and Congress- men talked freely, but their speeches were recorded only in part. The present system of a complete repor, was started in 1S4S. When the change was made the speeches were being reported by a contract between Congress and the old Washington Globe. This contract lasted until 1873 when the present system of the Congress own reporters was substi tuted.
 The change was due to a young man named Oliver Dyer, who, in 1S47, in vented a modern system of shorthand. He fought a class in Philadelphia and from his brightest pupils selected three-Dennis F. Murphy, David w Brown and John J. McElhone-and game to Washington

The Minister'S Salary

The announcement made the other
day to the Upper Iowa Methodist
conference, meeting at Mason City,
that state, by Rev. j. H. Cudlipp, is
certain to give solemn and serious
pause to the church people of Amer
lea.
Rev. Mr.. Cudlipp rather startled
the conference by declaring that at
present there are 10000 vacant pull
pits in America.
The minister said that he has made
a thorough survey Of the church stu
alton, and he found that the startling
number Of vacant pulpits was due en-
tirely to the fact that ministers are
paid approximately the same street
sweepers. The pay of coal miners,
the minister found, is more than dou-
BILE the pay of the average minister.
One Of the alarming features Of
the facts uncovered by the minister's
survey is that the under-paid minis
ters have no assurances that they will
be able to live in reasonable comfort

which, according to the Courier-Ncws
and other Leaguers, is controlled by

wheat in such way as to rob the
farmers and then turns right around
and fixes the price of flour SO as to
rob the consumer, and takes all this
trouble of fixing the prices of both
wheat and flour for the sole purpose
of having the millers make oodes and
oodles of money. And because of the
carelessness Of the Chamber of Com
merce privately owned mills lost
money. But the most peculiar part is
not that the Chamber of Commerce
got so careless, but that the Courier
News, and the other ,Leaguers, at the
time this happened were assuring us

Rev. B. NJ. Bridges
Gives Fact in
His Case

1t is doubtful if there has ever
been a medicine endorsed by so many
ministers Of the Gospel as has Tan
lac. Indeed, there is scarcely faith,
creed or denomination in all the land
in which one, or more, of the clergy
men has not publicly expressed their
Indebtedness to the Premier Prepara-
ton for the benefits they have derived
from it's use.
One of the latest to speak out in
this connection is Rev. B. M. Bridges,
a widely known and beloved Baptist
preacher, residing at Mooresboro, N.
c., whose statement follows:
"Tanlac has given me a good appe-
tite, toned up my system and renewed
my strength in such gratifying way

Johnson Calls Lemke's Bluff

William Lemke is reported to have
made the statement in his speech at
Hebron that when he was attorney
general certain interests, whom he
did not name, offered him a bribe of
$3.50 900 if he would handle certain
case in a certain way, and that he
refused the offer. He is further re-
ported to have said to his audience
that while he would not say that
Sveinbjorn johnson would take a
bribe, the case was now being handled
the way he Lemke) was asked to
handle it, and that "you can draw
your own conclusons".
Attorney General Johnson, stating
that he could not imagine to what suit
Mr.. Lemke could possibly refer, at
once served Lcmke with demand
that he answer six questions: l..
Name the title of the lawsuit he re-
ferred to. 2. State in what way the
interests demanded that the suit be
handled. 3. Name the persons Of
fering the bribe. 4. State where
they made the offer and on what date.
5. State why he did not Immediately
swear out complaint against those
persons under the criminal statutes.
6. State whether he is willing to veri-
fly complaint against those persons
in order that they may be arrested
and prosecuted.
Mr.. Lemke has not up to this time
made any reply to these demands. 1t
might have been thought that the
contemplate trick attempted was too
low even for Mr.. Lemke to employ.
Apparently there is nothing he will
not stoop to.

Accepting Rev. Mr.. Cudlipp's sur
vey as accurate, as it no doubt is, the
number of vacant pulpits must alarm
the church folks of the country.
The pay of ministers must be ad-
vanced beyond the pay of street
sweepers if pulpits are to be made at

themselves in college and devote

Salvation is free as we are told on
