The republican promise of “tariff revision by its friends”, soubds alfnost like advising one to get treated for dipsomania by a bar tender. H. One virtue of this continued Japanese war talk is that it will soon be such an old story that everyone will be tfted ot hearing about it. It is- mean to charge congress man with duplicity.- They are at least sure to be frank on their envelopes. The national convalescence of Russia is progressing. She has gotten rottnd again to the point of threatening the Sultan or Turkey. The representatives from the Philipioes <?an now sit in Congress ' and draw salaries, but cannot vote, but the Sugrr Trust and the To bacco Trust have lots of votes there that will prevent the Filipinos getting their just dues'. How will President Roosevelt explain away the feet that the bolting Florida delegation for Taft to the Republican National Con vention are mostly Federal office holders! That would indicate in | pite of the President’s statement! to the contrary, that it is the pur pose of “some one high up” to rouud up the federal office holdeis in the South for Taft. ORIGIN OF WORD, GRAFT. It is said that Governor Folk of Missouri,'coined the word “graft” to describe the operations by ■which some publiciofficials unlaw fully enrich themselves at the expense of the community. In an article op “Respect for Law,” in the Washington’s Birthday Number of the Yonth’s Compan ion, Governor Folk clearly and vigorously points outthe duties of executive officials, and the duty alsd~Trfthe citizen with regard to the impartial enforcement of the laws. It is not tooo much to say that, were Washington living today, the views expressed in this article would have his hearty con currence. * WELL NAMED. This emergency currency that certain bankers are prodding Con-’ gross toprovide violates the basic principle of real money. Money plays such an important part with all of us whether we be bankers or street cleaners, the idle rjcli or the follow er of a plow’, that ho', one of us should loose sight of the prime fact that there is absolutely required for good morey these three essentials, port-' ability, durability and value. * Lacking in any one of these three it cannot be money such as (the people should have as a cir culating medium and measure of values. This emergency currency is a credit the bauks are to be author ized to extend and payout to people, based on another credit. It is more unsound than the gre- n back, because this wras a credit * based upon the ability of the whole people to pay. * » Emergency currency is based on b nds w’hose solvency is dependent upon the ability of a locality to pay. Once when a much be whiskered \ populist was arguing eloquently that the government stamp made money he was interrupted w ith a poser iu this shape: ‘•If the government were to stamp your beard hay would a mule eat it?” This was the language of the wild and wooly west. The culture of boston has per meated the countiy since then and wre now- call fiat issues, “Christian Science money.” Those who have fafth in an emergency currency will never make a run on a bank.

Mahogany furniture, which has of late been regarded with dis favor, is once again becoming fashionable. It is now, however, more expensive than* in former years. The supply of this wood is plentiful, but the difficulty of obtaining it is great. The trees do not grow in clusters, but singly in the Honduras lorests. Even then they are so hidden by under growth that it takes a practiced eye, to pick them but. Round the base of the trunk are large spurs, to avoid which the tree fellers erect a scaffold, upon which they work. • This means that the tree is cut through ajTa heigth of ten to fifteen feet from the ground, leaving much valuable wood, which is under present con ditions, allowed to go to waste. The system of labor is also peculiar. Workers are hired for one year, and three months’ wages must 5e paid in advance. . These are t^e laborers. Expert woods men ate tn charge, who are paid according to the work they ac complish.—London Answers. ; WA&INGTOnTeTTER. From-our regular correspondent. Washington, D. C., Feb. 15. One of the most brilliant speech es to which the House of Eepre sentatives has listened id recent years was that which Rep. Champ Clark of Missouri delivered this week. There was no malice in Mr. Clark’s remarks, but they fairly scintilated with wit and the House almost shrieked with laughter, so that many times Mr. Clark was compelled to suspend. Mr. Clark discussed the President and said; ‘‘He caunotexpress his views upon any question under the sun, even upon a subject so prosaic and threadbare as the weather, with out precipitating a ro*, his ex treme adherents swearing that theie never has been such a wreath er prophet ou earth since Adim anti Eve were driven from the Garden of Eden with flaming swords, and his extreme enemies vociferating that he knows no more about the weather than the grouuu nug. Parenthetically, there is a story which Mr. Clark is telling of the President, to illustrate his supreme self confidence, which seems to me worth repeating here. It appears that when Mr. Roosevelt waf a very small boy his fathei* approach ed him one day andfsaid, “Theo dore, I am going away, on a long railroad journey. I expect you to be a very good boy and to take good care of mother.” That night as the little Teddy was about to retire he knelt by his bed repeat ing his nightly prayer to his mother, and in conclusion he added. “And dear God take good care of papa, for he has gone o«r a long railroad journey. Never mind about mamma, I’m trking caie of her.” To return to Mr. Clark’s speech, however, he pointed out how the republican majority had been re duced from 114 in the last t on gress to 55 in this and declared that the next election" would wit ness a sweeping away of the r< pub lican majority altogether, and a return of a good working Demo cratic majority with a Dem cratie President in the W hite House. Mr. Clark pictures Speaker Caunou surveying his reduced maj riiy iu the House aud “repeating the sad exclamation of Pyrrhus, Kiog ol Eprius, when surveying a hard won field, ‘Another such victory and*we are undone.’ ” Au extraordinary sp- ctacie is being presented in the Senate where Mr. Aldrich is crowding through his financial bill. Almost no republican is saying a word. Everything is being left to Aid rich aud it is freely admitted on the republican side that the S- na tor from Rhode Island is the only man who really understands the financial question. Democratic senators are daily attacking the bill but of course With a member ship Of only one thiid of the Senate they can accomplish nothing, aud esptcialJy aWthis time when some of that third seem to- be more in sympathy with Mr. Aldrich thi n with their co leagues on the Dem ocratic side of the chamber. The political situation/in the republican party becomes daily uglier, while in the Democratic ranks order and discipline- a>e steadily increasing. Every now and again the newspapers make, much of some anti-Bryan move ment but the large majority of Democrats in Congress, at least, are convinced that Mr. Bryan will be i he Democratic nominee and aie prepared to support him loyally and enthusiastically. Of course it would, not be a campaign j ear if there were not, from time to time, sensational stories regard ibg Democratic disaffections, but the most farseeing men in' the Democracy assnre me that there need be no apprehen sion regarding the outcome of the convention at Denver or the unanimity with which the party will support its former leader once the conuention is over. The move ment to elect Rep. Ryan chairman of the Democratic^ Congressional Committee was an anti Bryan moyementr but it “died aborn ing. | —Cosmetics injure the com plexiou.

Cooper Tells Chicago Reporter ^Why He Accomplishes So.Much.) No man in recent years lias been more successful In restoring human health than L. T. Cooper. During his stay in Chicago, and while he wa,3 meeting thousands of people daily, In gave the following reason for the re markable demand for his mcexlno to a ^reporter: Mr. Cooper said: "My New Discov ery is successful becausa it corrects the stomach. My theory is that few can be sick if the digestive apparatus is working properly. It naturally fol lows that few can be well with a poor digestion. "I know from experience that most of the tired, half-sick people that are so common now-a*days -have half-sick stomachs. Put the stomach in shape, and nature does the rest. The result is general good health. My medicine does this. That is why fifty thousand people, here in Chicago are using it who never heard of me until a month ago.” , ■ Among the fifty thousand mentioned by Mr. Cooper who used his medicine In Chicago is Mrs. Hilda Pflueger, liv ing at 1203 Ainslie Avenue. This is the statement Bhe makes concerning her experience witlj, the medicine: *T have been sick for six years with stomach trouble. I -was always hun gry, but did not dare tp eat much, aa I had severe pains in my stomach, and al'ro through my body. I could not deep at night and was very restless. I was also very nervous, and would have severe headaches. I was const! Ihcd. and al.veye_Jelt bloated after eating. "1 heo. tried many remedies, but Gsiild secure no relief, until one day I noticed in the" newspapers what won derful result^ Cooper’s medicines were accomplishing in Chicago. I decided to try them, and shortly after com mencing the treatment I began to feel better. I did not have those Bevere rpaias in my stomach, and I could sleep at night; my appetite improved, and I can now eat well. I am feeling like a new woman. “I am very thankful to Mr. Cooper for what his remedies have done for me. They have restored me to good health, and I would advise any one who suffers as I did to try them.” We sell the Cooper medicines. They are easily the most celebrated prepa rations ever introduced in this coun try, growing in popularity daily, E 'gocombe Drug Co. NOT TO HANG. Frazier Jones, the negro w ho has repeatedly escaped the gal lons on such narrow margins, pending efforts with Governor Glenn to procure a commutation of the death seuteuce fto life im prisonment, on the ground that! the killing of his wife was not in cold blood, but in the heat of pas sion engendered /by her unfaith* fulness, is not to l|ang at all. Gov ernor Glenn has commuted the sentence to life imprisonment, in compliance with numerous appeals1 from citizens of Greensboro, and on the strength of new evidence. STILLPENDING. The proposition to take over the Pittman Hospital is still pending in St. Louis, Mo., before the exec utive committee of the Christian church. The matter was called up at the regular monthly meeting j last Tuesday, but final action was postponed till the meeting next month. "TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS.

The seventh grade makes the highest percentage of attendance, toe eighth second, and the sixth third. The school at MacNairs’s Cross ing isnot included in these statis tics. BROKE WATER HYDRANT. Two mules, Monday eyening ran away with a wagon a't the corner of Main and Water streets,ran into a hydrant belonging to the old water system, breakiug it off in the ground, where it joined the main. As this old main has been con nected with the light power plat t for use in etse of emergency, it might be well to have the hole broken into the main plugged, so that it can bo used' As long as this hole remains, the. main will be useless.

PENDER RIDICULES SUIT. T. E.
