The danger that menaces the life of this great nation today is not outward violence but the internal dry rot of mammonism and corrupt ness of life. 'The ingenuity and perseverence which some people show in trying to live by wrong methods would, If rightly applied, make them happy and prosperous. Man is not necessarily free be cause he lives under a :Jree govern ment. He may be the slave of evil passions and a man is free only as he is master of himself. The moral influence as well as the Intellectual force of the tens of thousands of young men and women who accept teaching as their call ing is one of the most stimulating and helpful factors in the life of young America. The ideal home cannot exist in hotels and boarding houses. The atmosphere of such places Is destruc tive to home instincts. The home must have its own individuality and for' that it must have the power to close the door and snut itself within to cultivate its own privacy and sa credness. The preaching demanded today is not-that which spends Itself in elo quently portraying conditions in the hearafter (though that is not to be altogether neglected), but that which aims to make earth as heaven like as possible. It is the reign of moral, business and political righteousness in this life that so ciety needs. The return of the business pros :perity is sure to attract multitudes from European lands. For every intelligent, industrious and moral ?person who comes to improve his and contribute to the general good there is a welcome. But there is no wel ?coine for the idler and vicious. To them the doors should be tightly ?dosed. Every worker, however obscure he may be and however lowely his call ing, puts his personality into his work. In other words the work rep resents not a c&3.chhi& feut a human beiing being intellectually and spir itually endued as well as physically. This should always be taken into account when the question of re muneration is considered. In the aeronautic world the break ing of records is almost a daily oc currence and \the rivalry between biplanes, monoplanes, dirigible bal loons and other aerial contrivances goes merely on. This is sure to continue until experience has de monstrated the incontestable superi ority of some one form of convey ance. Schools are opening for the fall and winter terms in most of the States, and the making or marring of the lives of hosts of young peo ple will be determined by the char acter of the education they receive during the next few months. Rath er should we say by the disposition with which they deal with their studies. The papers of the large cities are all right if you want them, but it is your own home paper that adver tises your churches, your numerous societies, sympathizes with you in your afflictions and rejoices with you in your prosperity. In short, it is the local paper that mentions the thousand and one items in which you are interested during the year, and do not find iu papers of large cities. The craze for sudden wealth leads many a man in a responsible posit ion to. become a victim of some get rich-quick swindle, and the result usually spells disaster. Money is "borrowed" from the firm's accounts and the first time the theft is dis covered the man's friends call it "shortage in accounts" and the affair is hushed up. The next time it is "defalcation" and there JIs conse quent disgrace and a prison term. Someone recently complained of the frequent use of the word "little," instancing "Little deeds of kindness, little words of love." He contended that it gives men a belittling sense of things and of duties. There is force in the statement, yet after all life is freshened and made pleasant er and the world is made better by the so-called little friendly smiles, cheering words and passing deeds which the many drop by the way side, rather than by the great deeds of the few. Subscription Rates. One Year . . Six Months . Three Months $1.50 .75 .40 "No Baby, No Ballot." Many expedients have been tried as a proper basis for the granting of the cranchise, but the 'editor priest, Father Phelan, of St. Louis, comes forward with a new and start ling plan. He seems to be very much in earnest in making the family the unit of the franchise, and he has I begun an active propaganda with the slogan, "No baby, no ballot." To counteract any tendency to wards race suicide which may exist, he purposes, in other words, to give ?the ballot only to those citizeus who I can boast of a baby in the house. Since the reform bill in Eng land, in 1832, many changes have been made in the franchise quali fications, from the forty-shillings free-holder to the "latch-key" voter, which practically means universal suffrage. Property and education qualifications have been widely dis cussed and frequently adopted, but never before, so far as we are aware, have we had the slogan, "No baby, no ballot." The Atlanta Journal, from which paper we take the above, says tit has a shrewd idea that this is a blow aimed secondarily if not pri marily at the woman suffragists. When the childless Mme. De Stael asked Napoleon who was the greatest woman in France?ex pecting him to say "Mme. De Stael"?he replied, "The woman who gives the most children to France." She never forgave him. The suf ragists who are asking for the bal lot would probably be as much stun ned as was Mme. DeStael if they should find that they had been giv en the franchise, but on the basis of "No baby, no ballot." Father Phelan is not such a dreamer as might appear at first sight. Welcome, Mr. President. That President Taft may have a pleasant time on his Western and Southern trip is the wish of every one. Wherever he goes people of all shades lof political belief will give him a cordial and sincere wel come. But we want to warn the distinguished visitor not to think that the generous hospitality that will be extended to him from one end of the South to the other when he comes means that this section is about to flop politically to his way of thinking. The South will honor Its Republican President but will remain solidly Democratic. Being thoroughly Democratic, to the South the contrast afforded by a man elect ed by the free suffrages of his fel lows traveling about in Democratic ways, simply dressed, coming into direct contact with the people, fra ternizing with them and addressing them in set or informal speech as the case may be; and that presented by the pomp, ceremony and official ism with which most Europen rulers travel, is suggestive. It is sugges tive, for instance, of the vast dif ference between the social and po litical conditions of this country and those that prevail In most other lands. So come along, Mr Presi dent. The South will give you a warm welcome, but Wiill continue to worship at the shrine of Democ racy. Should Be Continued. The irrigation question like that of the deep waterways, is fortunate ly not one of party. Every discern ing' person at all conversant with natural conditions of the West knows full well that so fertile nat urally is the soil that it only needs the application of water to make immense tracts of land remarkably productive and capable of support ing a large and flourishing popula tion. So vast, however, is the pro ject that it is generally felt that to ?ecure best iresults (federal as well as State and private aid should be continued. Unat economy in national expenditure is most desir able is true, but it would be poor economy to stop or curtail work on projects which if carried out would not only benefit particular lcalities but also the /whole country, and that is what would probably hap pen if federal aid is withdrawn. There are other ways, such as frank ing and congressional privileges, in which the desired reduction might well be made. So by all means let the work of irrigation go on, backed by national and State aid. Makes Us All Happy. The immense crops this year and the high prices generally prevailing mean prosperity for the farmer and for everybody else. That fact will help us realize how true it is that agriculture Is the backbone of this country's wealth even as it is of most countries. Whe;i crops are poor and prices low all the nation suffers with the farmer, and when there is the fortunate combination of large crops and good prices the whole nation rejoices with him because it shares in his prosperity. It means more engines and cars to move the crops, and that means greater activty and more employment in railroad shops. It also mems an increased purchas ing power for the farmer and that again means the employment of many thousands of extra hands to manufacture the machines, carriag es and other commodities the farm er wants. Long Days and Nights. The News and Courier says there is no sunrise at the North Pole in the sense in which we use the word. Daylight is in no wise dependent on the turning of the earth, and there is really no night and day in the sense that darkness is caused by the earth getting between us and the sun through rotation. In his jour ney from Capricorn to Cancer, the sun eventually reached a point where his rays penetrate even to the Polar region. The sun then rises in the south instead of the east, and it ' sets in the south also. It rises but once a year and sets but one a year. This is likewise true of the South Pole, though in the latter case, the sun rises in the north and sets in the north. Shot in a Show.

Had Sixty Boils when but Six Months Old?Was Annually Attacked by a Humor?It Looked Red Like a Scald and Spread Over Half Her Head?Both Troubles are Cured. NO PRAISE TOO HIGH FOR THE CUTICURA REMEDIES "When my little Vivian was about Biz months old, her papa hnd a boil on Ins forehead. At that time the child was covered with prickly heat and I suppose in scratch ing it, her own head became infected for it broke out in boils, one after another. She had about sixty in all and I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment which cured her of them entirely. Then, flometime later, her little foot got sore between the toes. Being afraid it was salt rheum, I spoke to our doctor. He ave me a powder which dried it up, Ut soon after it broke out behind her ears. They cracked half way around and the humor spread up on to her head until, on several occasions, it was nearly half covered. The humor looked like a scald, very red with a sticky, clear fluid coming from it. This occurred every rear. I think it was toward the spring, always bathed it with warm water and Cuticura Soap and applied Cuticura Ointment which never failed to heal it up. The last time it broke out was when she was six years old. It became so bad that I was discouraged. Then I procured a bottle of Cuticura Resolv ent which soon cleared it out cf her blood. I continued the use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment with the Resolvent until she was perfectly well. She is now about eight years old and has never been troubled in the last two years. We also find Cuticura Resolvent a good ?pring medicine and we are iust giving the children Cuticura Resolvent Pills as a tonic. We do not think any one can praise Cuticura Remedies too highly.

John son's Tonic cured them quickly--read letter below: lirooksldo, Ala., May <, 190.1 Tho two physicians here had 3 very obstinate cases of continued Malarial Fever. All were Italians and lived on a creek 50 yards from my store. These r .seswereof three months standing, their temperature ranging from 100 to 104. The doctors had tried every thing In vain. I persuaded them to let me try Johnson's Tonic. I removed all the print ed matter and let the medicine go out In a plain bottlo as a regular prescription.
