LIST THINK OF IT.

Of course we know all about the silver lining that goes with a properly
 outtittod cloud. It's there somewhere. according to tradition. But it does seem hard to see it peeking out from
 the smudge of the oil affair. We may
 say that the silver lining will be in
 up of politics in its relation to busi-
 ness. We may feel that if will all be
 because of this scandal no such thing
 ever happens again. But. well-crooks
 are crooks and we are not optimistic
 enough, most of us. to believe that the
 world will eyer be entirely free of crooks and in some way said persons will find their way to Washington now and then, in spite of the developments that are coming out, and in spite of the more or less doubtful punishment that may-note the use of the may follow.
 But just think of this: England be- lieves the Teapot Dome investigation and the manner it is view by the American people, promises good things, Now what do you think of that? It may be remembered--and it is not an unpleasant memory-that some aristocratic gentleman of the conservative little island across the water declared that America had taught England the most valuable lesson she ever had, namely how to properly treat her colonies. Quite along the same lines of throwing bouquets now comes the Morning Post Of London and says that the agitation in this country over the Teapot Dome oil lease investigation is "a healthy sign of the determination of the American people 10 make the United States safe for democracy by insisting that its rulers have perfectly clean hands" Moreover the same newspaper goes on to criticize it's own people by recalling similar scandals in England and saying that the paper cannot help contrasting the eagerncss of prominent Americans to investigate the grave issues. and the support they arc receiving from the public and the press. with the apathy and snpine toiaration with which the fight for clean government was received in this lEngland) country"
 Now that's very nice indeed, and l we thank the Morning Post for it's compliment to tho prominent Amerl- 1 cans" who arc so anxious to make this country safe for democracy And W. | trust that the gentleman who wrote | them fine words" didn't have his tongue in his cheek. But please, oh, if you please dear sir don't make the too tulsomc, There is eagcrness and eagerness and there Is hearty support and again hearty sup port. But even We Americans, not in any way prominent" are not com pletely carried away by the eager nnss'' and "hcarty support some Americans are giving to the invcstiga- tors Like Q well known and much advertised product There's Rca- son"

REAL MEANING OF
FREEDOM TAUGHT
OR. MABEL ELLIOTT SEES GREAT
! VALUE TO NEAR EAST PEOPLE
IN UNSEEN EDUCATIONAL
+ MOVEMENT OF RELIEF WORK.

The complete disappearance of Boil
shevism from Russia within the next
two years was predicted Saturday by
DIR. Mabel Elliott, who for several
years has been medical director Of
American relief work In the Near East
and Caucasian Russia She has Just
returned from Russia and Is in Phila-
idelphia. She was one of the speakers
at the Pennsylvania Conference on
Near Eastern Problems, at the Belle
ivue-Stratford. She said:
ITO me the real meaning of the
American work In the Near East is
not the multitudes that have been
saved from starvation, nor the tens
of thousands of children clothed and
fed, not the unofficial but actual eco
monte administration OF an entire
country, but the great fact Of an un.
seen educational movement which has
taught the Russian people that govern
ment by the people is only useful as
it has back of 1t the spirit of govern
ment for the people,
DR.. Elliott's work in the Near East
has earned for her the title of "a mod
ern Florence Nightingale" which Is
particularly appropriate because much
of her work was done in the same
part of the world as that where Flor
ence Nightingale started the modern
science of nursing Her return to
America and the recent publication of
her book Beginning Again at Ararat,-
had directed public attention to her
remarkable career resident of
Palm Beach. Fla, she is the most
widely known woman physician in the
Near East, and her work there has
won official recognition from four gov
ernments.
DR.. Elliott further states, "It is
through our disinterested humanitarian
work and through our thoughtful care
for the children, in the Near East Re-
lief Orphanages, that we are showing
to the people Of The Near East the
real meaning of freedom and popular
government"

Cardui Is a vegetable extract, con-
tanning no harmful ingredients. It is
made from indicating medicinal herbs
with gentle, tonic, strengthening eff
feet upon certain female organs and
upon the system in general. Its users
have testified to its special value at
the time of entering womanhood at
maturity and at the time of the
change of life.
For over 40 years, Cardui has been
tested in use by thousands of women
who have written to tell of the great
benefit they have received from it.
For over 600 years, medical authori-
ties have recommended one of the
principal ingredients of SCardui in the
treatment of certain female COM
plants.
Cardui, the woman's tonic, tested by
time, is today the product of many
years of experience and investigation.

COOLIDGE WANTS ACTION

WASHINGTON, D. c., April l.
AT last a ray of sunshine has peeped
through the clouds of inaction that
have lowered over Washington for
the past four months. The Senate
Committee on Finance in charge of
the bill to reduce taxes has declared
that it will shortly report that mea-
sure to the Senate Just whether
this bill will get past the democrats
without being choked to death with
amendments is another question. This
speeding up is the result of Presi-
dent Coolidge telling Congress that
something had to be done. 1t is we'll
known in Congress that the Presi-
dent is tired of delays and that he
demands action from now on.
One measure that has the hearty
support of President Coolidge is the
Child Labor law. He holds that chill
dren have God given right to go to
school and get an education and that
iACy oAouiu iiOt DS pSIHitISO W WOIh
while at a tender age. Massachu-
sets, Of which Coolidge was at one
time Governor, has one of the best
Child Labor laws in the world. There
is little doubt however that the
democrats in the Senate will use
every endeavor' to defeat this mea-
sure. The opposition will come from
those who would impound in econo-
mic slavery the childhood of the ma
ton.
The latest bit of sensationalism
was the testimony of Al Jennings,
former train robber and bandit, who
stated that Jake Hamon paid mil
lion dollars to have Harding nomin-
ated. Washington is wondering if
any witness, before any committee,
will ever testify to what living per-
son has said; telling what man who
is in his grave, is alleged to have
said seems to be the favorite stunt
of many of those who have appeared
in the Capitol
