Solomon's
Mistake..,.
It liasrecently , become known - why
Solomon said all men are liars. When
Solomon's wives came tto Asheville to
make purchases they all wanted a bak
ing powder that, was pure. One wen$to
a' grocer who persuaded her to buy a
baking powder as geed as RumfoTd.
The 999 wives bought from, responsible
grocers who guaranteed 'Rumford. ' So,
when Solomon ate the biscuits and oake
made of the baking powder which was
saidtd be as goodt as Rumford he then
made use of the words, M All men are
liars," but regretted: making the above
expression when the cakes made by .the
genuine - Rumford were brought before
him.

Grover Cleveland Defines it for &e
Growing Youth of the Country,
By Grover Cleveland.
American citizenship means more,
than any other citizenship, not only be
cause it lives and flourishes beneath the
protection of the freest and best in
stitutions in-the world, but ..because it
has the perpetuity and success of those
institutions absolutely in its keeping
and control- .

SSSSSS l5S
I ant of no superior. It must, however,
be plainly apparent that this i indepen-
;dence in the enjoyment of privileges Irf
'nnt oil fha is involved in our relations
to the Government we proudly calr-our
own; -4S one wno is me uhu y w
house in which he lives cannot look to
another for its care and preservation
so American citizenship assumes the re
sponsibility of maintaining unaltered,
and unimpaired the government which
shelters it, and which has thus far been
its protection against wind and storm.
A just appreciation of the seriousness
of this responsibility ishe test of true
American citizenship. ;
If you are satisfied that foreign con
quest' and unnatural extension or an
nexation are dangerous perversions of
i our national missiuu, uu

republicis tn"a.n armies with 'banners,'
you will not be necessarily wrong.
As a vindication of our past methods
it may occur, to you that though a
hundred years Is but a day in the life
of a nation, we have within such a
short existence, by close adherence to
our original design and purposes, as
tonished the world by our progress and
the development of our vast posses
sions. With our first century's tremen
dous growth and advancement before
your eyes as. proof of the strength and
efficiency of consistent Americanism
you will find in the beginning of . our
second century proof of the abundance
of our present domain In millions of
Lacres of American territory still unoc
cupied while hundreds of Government
officials wait to bestow it upon settlers.
There are. also other large areas of
Americansoil yet untrodden by the foot ;
of man, while our gates are still open
to receive those who shall come from
other lands to share our homes and
privileges. .
In view of these things, and consider
ing our achievements in the past and
our promise for the , future, recalling
What we have done and what yet re
mains for us to: do under the guidance
of the rules and motives which have
thus fai governed our national life, we
are surely-entitled to demand the . best
of reasons for a change in our policy
and conduct, and to exact a conclusive
explanation . of the conditions which ;
make our acquisition of new and dis
tant territory either justifiable, prudent
or necessary.' " . "
WHY THIS CHANGE IN OUR POfc-
ICY?
Perhaps we should be satisfied with
the excuse that such acquisition is riec- -essary
"by .way of warlike preparation
or precaution. This, however, imme-
diately suggests thatwe have found -heretofore'
a constant source of con- '
gratulation : in sthe r f act - that the v eon- -
templation of twar and its contingencies
is not ana snouid not be familiar to our
ordinary national life. It has Always
been our ' boast that " a ; large standine
military establishment and warlike pre- r
caunons. are not among the needs of a
people whose victories are f those ; of
peace, and- whose" 'immunity i from
armed conflict is found in their freedom
from the foreign relationships that give
mrtn to war. and. that though it has
been abundantly demonstrated that the
courage and splendid fighting qualities
of our. countrymen will- never ; fail in
time of need, it . is still a grave question'
whether - the cheapening of our esti-
mate of the' value of peace by dwell-;,
lng. upon war is, calculated tb improved
the quality, of our national character.

"It is difficult to deal with the ques
tion of war at this time and avoid mis
conception -and misrepresentation, ut
we are considering American citizen
ship and endeavoring to find its best
and most useful characteristics and
how they can be most effectively cul
tivated and securely preserved. From
this standpoint war is a hateful thing
Which we should shun as antagonistic
to the objects of our national existence,
as threatening demoralization to our
national character and as obstructive
to our national destiny.
WAR A MENACE TO THE NATION.
While thus suggesting the forbidding
traits of war, I should be guilty of an
attempt to mislead if I failed to say
that there are conditions which not
only justify war but make a-resort to
it a duty. .
No naticr, however peacefully in
clined and whatever the consequences
may be, can determine that It will in
no circumstances engage in war. Bad
as it is and deplorable as its incidents
are, no government can refuse war at
the risk of imperilling its existence or
sacrificing the rights and interests it
holds in trust for its people and for
humanity and civilization. In view of
such an unescapable liability to be
brought face to face with, the -question
of war, and in view of war's real na
ture and demoralizing effect upon our
national life and character, we cannot
fail to be most seriously impressed by
the reflection that we have expressly
authorized those to whom we have In
trusted our public affairs to determine
for us the momentous issue of peace or
war, and that If the determination be
for war our ready and unquestioning
acquiescence becomes patriotism and
the support of our country's contention
becomes good citizenship.
How then shall the people protect
themselves against the" folly of a de
parture from their national purposes,
and against the crime of unnecessary
and unjustifiable war? Manifestly by
an intelligent study on their part of the
character of their Government, and the
exaction of a clear apprehension, on tne
part of those who would represent them
In public life, of their nation's mission
and of the baleful effect of war upon
their nation's health. These consider
ations emphasize in the strongest pos
sible manner the importance of a larger
participation by thoughtful and edu
cated men in political affairs.
No man can lay claim in a proper
sense to true American citizenship who
does not interest himself in matters
pertaining to our Government, who
does not inform himself as to its de
signs and purposes, or who is not will
ing by actual interference to guard it
against abuses and insidious perver
sion as well as against open attack.
No one increases his claim to good
citizenship who interests himself in
public matters for purely selfish pur
poses and to accomplish personal ends.
A man may acquire a 'knowledge of
the principles of, our Government, and
use his knowledge to mislead, and the
pretense of devotion to these princi
ples may mask nothing better than the
advocacy of blind and mischievous
partisanship.
If such things constituted good citi
zenship we might congratulate our
country, for we have them in abun
dance. Inasmuch, however, as they
are really evils which sadly afflict and
endanger us, it is" of the utmost im
portance that there should be infused
into our body politic the counteracting
remedy of true, patriotic, unselfish
American citizenship. "
This grows out of a love' of our Gov
ernment, for its own sake and for. what
It does for every citizen. .It .is thought
ful and intelligent; it has a clear un
derstanding of the doctrines upon which
our Government rests; It rejoices in
American traditions; it- glories In
American objects and purposes,: and is
proudly contented - with the accepted
mission of the United States among
the nations of the earth.

Those who have never had Blood Poi

dition it "can produce. This terrible
disease which the doctors are totally
unable to cure, is communicated from
one generation to another, inflicting its

Some years ago I was inoculated with poison
by. a nurse who infected my babe with blood
taint. The little one was -
Unequal to the struggle,
and its life was yielded
up to the fearful poison.
For six lone years I suf
fered untold misery. I
was covered with sores
and ulcers from head to
toot, aipd no language
can express my feelines
of woe during those long
years. I had the best w
medical treatment. Sev
eral physicians succes
sively treated me, but all'
to no purpose. The mer
cury and potash seemed to 'add fuel to the
awful flame which was devouring me. I wat
advised by friends who had seen wonderful
cures made by it, to try Swift's Specific. We

Wagner 'a Idea of America.
Although Wagner never was in this
country, the possibility of his coming over
here is referred to often in his published
correspondence. In fact, he made Amer
ica a stand and deliver argument with
his friends, st-veral times threatening to
forever put aside his "Ring of the Nibe
Jung" and to cross the ocean to earn a
competency unless they contributed to
his support.
That Wagner regarded America as a
god mine well worth exploitation by for
eign artists appears from a letter which
in 1848 he wrote to Franz Loebmann,
music director at Riga, whose brother
wanted financial assistance to go to
America with an orchestra. Wagner ad
vised Loebmann to assist his brother.
He instances the case of a German mu
sician who went to America as a poor
man and in a very short time was in re
ceipt of an excellent income, adding that
a whole orchestra would certainly be still
more lucky, for "in a country where vil
lages are constantly growing into cities
in five years there can be no lack of op
portunities for the settlement of whole
bands of musicians." Could anything be
more deliciously naive than this last quo
tation? Gustave- Kobbe in American
