The present thirteen thousand mile
journey of Pre&ident Taft is the big
gest ever undertaken by a Presi
dent.
It begins to look as if Attorney
General Lyon will pu^ stripes on
some of the grafters, sure enough.
He has our permission.
It is claimed that the sting of the
bee will cure rheumatism in most
cases. May be so, but we would
rather have the rheumatism.
The death of Gov. Johnson, of
Minnesota, is a great loss to the na
tion as well as the Democratic par
ty, of which he was a prominent
member.
Like all the Republican leaders,
that have preceded him, Mr. Taft is
an artful dodger, when It comes to
making his promises to . the peo
ple good.
A man has been put in jail out in
Missouri for marrying thirteen wives.
The man that wants that many wives
could hardly be classed a criminal.
He is worse than a lunatic.
Even The News :<nd Courier gags
at Mr. Taft's tariff speech. Wonder
if The News and Courier really be
lieves that the President was sin
cere in his ante-election promises.
The Times and Democrat has re
ceived a lot of new type for adver
tisements, and is prepared to give
its patrons the very^ best rservice in1
telling the public what they have
to offer.
? ? --Hi--"- '?*.
We have about come to the con
clusion that no one will ever know
how much money the dispensary
grafters -got for their rascality
while mismanaging the old State dis
pensary.
Champ Clark says the Republicans
will nominate Roosevelt as their can
didate for President in 1912. We
predicted the same thing months
ago. We believe it yet, and chit he
will be defeated.
The dreams of the great things
we are going to do in the by and
by not unoften keep us from act
ually doing the little things now
that would be a blessing to our
selves and others.
The former prime minister of Chi
na has been sent the yellow cord?
which is a polite way the Chinese
have of telling him to go off and
Oslerize himself. And strange to
say, he will do it
In a few weeks now Mars will be
within 251.000,000 miles of the
earth, which will be the nearest she
will get to us in the next hundred
years or so. If you have anything
to say to the people over there, you
better say it.
. Since the last General Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, met in 1906. death has been
busy in the College of Bishops. Be
tides Bishop Ward, who has just
died in Japan. Bishops Coke Smith.
Chas. B. Galloway. John J. Tigert
and W. W. Duncan have passed
away.
President Taft announces taar he
will make no effort at the :ogular
session of Congress in December to
accomplish further revision of the
tariff. In his opinion that would be
"utterly useless" and "greatly dis
tressing to business." No doubt, that
is exactly what Aldrich told M- Taft
before he started upon his tour of
whitewashing.
President Taft says that the Payne
Aldrich bill has brought about down
ward revision of the tariff equal
to everything he promised in his
speeches last year. Mr. Payne speak
ing in the House on July 30, urging
acceptance of the tariff bill, argued
that the measure would bring about
a reduction in the tariff equivalent
to ninety-seven one hundredths of
one per cent. So Mr. Taft did not
promise much.
What is called genius and the
result of genius is usually nothing
more than a combination of common
sense, hard work and steady appli
cation. When Anothony Trollope,
the noted novelist, was congratulat
ed on his imaginative power and
literary success, he replied, "Imagi
nation! my dear fellow, uot a bit
of it: it is cobbler's wax." He ex
plained that enigmatical utterance by
saying that it was by sticking to
his chair, as wax would make him
stick, and by plodding away at his
work his success was obtained. It
was a case of stick-to-itiveness, and
that quality in almost every instance
is necessary if one would win.
Let's All Keep Cool.
While The Times and Democrat
fully believes that Dr. Cook dis
covered the North JPole when he
claims to have done so, it is of the
opinion that Peary may have done so
too. It is unfortunate that the
achievements of these two men
should precipitate such a war of
words, wrangling and bad temper.
But in justice to Dr. Cook it must
be said that he is not responsible
for the unseemly dispute. Peary
is the whole cause of it. As soon
as he reached, the ear of civilization
after hiB trip he shouted that Dr.
Cook was a fakir, and that his story
of discovering the North Pole should
not be accepted as true.
Peary's action reminds us very
much of the action of Admiral Samp
son in claiming the credit for the
victory of the American navy at
Santiago, Cuba, when he was thirty
miles away when the battle was
fought and won by the navy under
command of Commodore Schley. He
claimed the whole .aredit for the
great victory when his ship never
fired a gun in the battle and ar
rived on the scene after the last
Spanish ship had surrendered to
Schley. The people could not be
fooled in that instance, and they
will not be fooled now by the blus
ter of Peary and his backers.
But there is no need of continuing
the war of words as to who discover
ed the North Pole first. What good
does it do? It cannot settle the
question or the conflicting claims of
the two eminent explorers. That can
only be done, if at all, by the scien
tists. The only effect of the con
troversy is to evoke a lot of posi
tive and strongly worded statements
in every community and create bad
feeling. People had better learn a
lesson from the pole Itself by keep
ing cool.
The Battle on in England.
The battle is on in England be
tween the House of Lords and the
people.. Lord Roseberry's attack on
the British interest because of his
prominence and the fact that he was
once premier in a liberal administra
tion. The attack has now been made
and its character was much as peo
ple exepected it would be. Its prin
cipal effect will be to stiffen the op
position of the Lords, who now will
probably reject the budget.
Perhaps that will be just as well
as it will hasten the Inevitable trial
of strength between the people and
the privileged classes, who hither
to have escaped their,just share of
taxation, and determine for all time
the dominance of the Commons in
stead of that of an irresponsible leg
islative chamber. As for Lord Rose
fcberry himself he has from a party
standpoint always been an uncertain
^?quantity who preferred, as he once
said, to "plow his furrow alone."
There is no doubt of the result.
The people will win, and the House
of lords, which like our National
Senate, is composed of the friends
of the classes, will be dissolved -or
made harmless as a means of defeat
ing the will of the people. The
victory of the English people will
help ua over here in converting our
National Senate from a fortress of
the criminal rich into a real legisla
tive assembly of the people.
Steadily Growing Better.
We are living in an era of reform.
Great problems affecting the individ
ual, society, organizations of all
kinds, and the state, are constantly
arising and wait solution. This is
well for it indicates a healthy in
tolerance of imperfections and abuses
and a determination to uproot them
wherever they exist.
Of course, the movement is not
?without its dangers, for unwise meth
ods, fre^k^.Jejsislation and unreason
able impatience are sometimes seen
and they h1nd>r instead of help.
Yet ieveh that is better than stagna
tion" with its indifference and un
wholesome toleration of wrongs.
But experience, the common sense
of the people, and the wisdom of
leaders in whom the people confide,
will in time satisfactorily solve these ,
problem, and so step by step, slow- j
ly, even laboriously, yet surely, this
old world is steadily growing better. 1
The movement for reform is world
wide, and nothing can stop it. It i
may be side tracked, as it has been ]
in this country, but it will p 'avail
at last and will sweep all baf'jre
it. It moves slowly, but surely, and ,
will eventually correct all the evils i
that the people complain of.
The Long Evenings.
The season of long indoor evenings i
is at hand. The evening meal is
now taken by lamplight instead of by
daylight, the shades are drawn down,
and, far more than in the summer
time, the privacy and oneness of the
family life are realized. With the
world and its cares shut out and
love and peace reigning within the
sacrelness and superiority of home
life are seen to best advantage. The
easy chair, suggestive of comfort,
the cherry lamp and genial warmth;
the family newspaper; the interest
ing book; the wholesome yet enter
taining book; the pleasant conversa
tion, these and many other things
combine to for a scene for which
men may look in vain for a parallel.
Whether the home evenings are as
universal as in former days is ques
tionable for the numerous social at
tractions of the present age make
iuroads upon the family circle that
tend to weaken home times. Yet in
spite of this, there are many thou
sand of homes in. our land where
almost every evening the members
meet together as a well nigh unbrok
en band.
"Money Cannot Buy Happiness."
"Mony cannot buy happiness" is
the remark attributed to Mrs. W.
E. Carry. If happiness could be
bought by money, she ought to have
plenty of it, as her husband is a
millionaire. But the circumstances
attending her wedding were of such
a character that no one wonders she
now realizes there are some things
money cannot buy. Money can build
palaces but it cannot make home;
it can build costly yachts but it can
not make that which is morally
wrong morally right; it can enable
one to live in luxury but it cannot
buy self-respect; it can gratify one's
wish for the most elaborate and
costly Parisian gowns but it cannot
restore a shattered reputation. It
cannot even open the way for recog
nition in society, and that fact scores
one in favor of society. The moral
of it all is obvious.

P. P. P. purifies the Mood, builds up the weak and debilitated, gives

In blood poison, mercurial poison, malaria, dyspepsia, and in all blood
