Peace la Mexico.
f.' ' --f and Carbajal have signed
an t.. cement for the cessation Df
hostilities In Mexico, and the estab
lishment of governmental reforms.
Diui has resigned the presidency
which is being temporarily exercised
by an official agreeable, to both par
ties. The revolutionary leader has
dismissed his army, and the govern
ment has retired iU troops to their
permanent quarters. These are
the indications that point to peace in
Mexico. But will there be peace?
Madero has gained every impor
tant concession demanded of the
government. His counselors and
followers, however, are not yet fully
satisfied. , Throughout the republic
there are 20,000 men in possession of
arms and munitions of war. The
dissatisfied officers of the revolu
tionary army can within a few, days
collect considerable bodies of armed
men to inforce their demands. Can
Madero dissuade them and hold them
in check until he has worked out his
governmental reforms? If he' can
he is' a wonderful man. . ' '
" On the other hand, Madero has
gained his concessions against the
protests of thousands of loyalists.
Among them are most of the officers
of the regular r army who threaten
another revolution in esse certain
innovations are made. Behind them
stands not only' a large portion of
the army but of the wealth of the
republic. The aristocracy of Mexico
objects to democracy in fact. Will
it enforce its objection by arms? s
There is in the republic a 'third
element, the foreign population, en
gaged irftTeveloping its resources.
It numbers 250,000 people represen
ting a billion. dollars of invested
capital. Jts interest lies with the.
party that offers the greater securi;
ty and advantage. What influence
will this element have on the situa
tion? It has been between the devil
and the deep sea.' It proposes tq ex
tricate itself from its predicament, '
Peace may come finally but will
probably be a long time coming.
Mexico has important and perplex
ing problems to solve. Their solu
tion means a revolution of govern
ment and of society. A nation like
Mexico connot be made over in a
day. .: - ;,v

If it ioesn't rain there will surely

', Reports from various sections of
the State indicate that .early crops
are stunted by lack of moisture, but
our farmers have a long season
ahead of them, and rains now will
enable them to harvest abundant
late crops. The month of May has
been one of the hottest and dryest re
called by even the oldest inhabitant,
the"long season in May" having en

Whole to Blame f
I Jiayi just been hearing of a
daughter who has shocked her ac
quaintances because she "acts as if.
were ashamed of her hard-working
old mother," - Her critics seem to
hold to the opinion that the daughter
is the only one to blame in the mat
ter, contending that, as her mother
drudges "from morning until night"
and - often spends hours through
which she should bvsleeping in,
plying the needle doing fine work on
the dainty clothesherdaughter wears
so thanklessly, that she is "at least
entitled to respect from her daugh
ter." " Now, I am not sure of that.
It is a question in my, mind whether
a woman who allows her daughter to
grow up to useless womanhood in
these busy times is really deserving
of respect. . As to her being' a ser
vant to her child, thai surely is her
own fault? nobody' forced the situa
tion upon her. It certainly is of her
own choosing, for she must have had
the "upper hand" while the child
was much too young to dominate
her. A woman who is lookjns; upon
by her family as a servant has surely
given them cause to so regard her,
and the cure of the complaint lies
largely in her own hands. Many-a
mother has allowed herself to be so
completely absorbed in the family
treadmill that she has . entirely , lost
sight of her higher mission of being
a companion and guide to her hus
band and children.' Mother-love is
not always as unselfish as we '.would
have the world suppose, ' The kind
of mother in question (femes herself
all the comfort and ' beao ty , of life
that 'she may lay herself down- as a
living sacrifice at the feet her
children.; She really enjoys this self
effacement until some day she wakes
up to the fact that her-ren take
her at her own valuation, and accept!
as their right,' "her drudgery;' In
stead of affection and .respect,: they
give her scarcely the, tolerance they
would accord to a paid servant, and
in the condition to which her servi
tude has reduced her, their love must
be strong indeed to prevent their
showingthat they are ashamed to be
seen with her. The blame rests
with the mother, Selected. '
Law aai Discipline.
The last session of the Nebraska
legislature enacted a law making it
a misdemeanor for , a boy. under
eighteen years of age to smoke or
chew tobacco.
The law was enacted at the be
hest of a lot of men and women who
are greatly interested in the welfare
of our youth,' but for the life of. us
we are unable to grasp the benefits
of any such law. When it come' to
pass that any father or mother is un
able to handle an eighteen-year-old
boy,, this department is going to ad
vocate the enactment of a- law pro
viding for the education of the afore
said fathers, and mothers. Discuss
ing this law with a neighbor the
other day, he removed his pipe from
between his teeth, and remarked that
he thought 'At a good one, for it
might have" the effect of restraining
his flrteen-year-old boy! from; con
tracting the habit. ,
That made me laugh. - ; ' .
If" the admonitions of father and
mother will not restrain a boy from
contracting the ' tobacco habits you
may safely wager anything from a
doughnut to a box of. crackers that
law will not. Being.only a fev years
from boyhood the Architect of this
department inclines to . the : belief
that the first effort of the law will be
to encourage boys to learn the habit,
more for the purpose of showing that
the law can not get them than to
secure pleasure from the tobacco.

A few months ago there was buri
ed in an eastern city' a mad whose
trade waa war. He achieved fame
on the battle field, and during a long
life he trained men in the art of pre
paredness for killing their fellows.
When he was buried the funeral pro
cession was many miles, long, . flags
hung at half-mast all over the coun
try solemn salutes from parjp of ar
tillery and volleys of musketry re
sounded across the continent. ,
Last week there was buried in
Lincoln a man whose whole life had
been spent in serving others. ' He
never laid up a dollar, for the simple
reason that he thought more of help
ing others less fortunate than him
self than he did of . accumulating
money.; When he saw his fellow
workers in trouble he never failed
to go (0 their assistance. ' No appeal
to him for help, either financial or
moral, ever fell upon deaf ears.
Time and again he could have made
big money by suppressing his convic
tions or by merely refusing to assist
others. ' But never a disones dol
lar crossed his palms. When his
mortal remains were carried to their
last resting place only one carriage
followed the herase, and less than a
score of the thousands of working-
men he had made sacrifices for were
grouped about his grave.
Twas ever thus. Will it always
be?;- I-
Measured by the world's standard
Tom Kelsey's life was a failure.
Measured by the standard with which
final accounts are reckoned, his' life
was a success, for it was a life un
selfishly devoted to the service of
others. Some of these days, let us
hope, the world wilt pay its homage
to. the men whose lives are spent in
building whose lives are spent in
trying to lift up, in trying to lighten
the load of unfortunates;' in trying
to let a little sunshine into, the dark
places of1 earth, u When that time
comes, homage will be paid to such
men as Tom Kelsey and not to the
men whose trade is bloodshed and
destruction. Seclected.'
. Christianity la Easiness Life.
Men are asking everywhere this
question: "Is it possible for a man
to be engaged in the activities of
our modern life, and yet to be a
Christian? . Is it possible for a man
to be a broker, a shop-keeper, a me
chanicis it possible for a man to be
in a business of to-day and love- his
God and his fellowman as himself ?"
I do not know what transformations
these dear businesses of yours must
undergo before they shall be true
and ideal homes for the child of God
but I do know that upon Christian
merchants and Christian brokers and
Christian lawyers and Christian men
in business to-day there, rests an
awful responsibility to prove if you
canproveit that these things are
capable of being made divine; Lto
prove that a man can do the, work
which you have been doing this
morning, and will do this afternoon,
and yet shall love his God and his
fellow-man as himself." If he cannot,
what business have you to be doing
them , so poorly, carnally and un
spiritnally that men look on them
and shake their heads with doubt?
It belongs to Christ in men, first, to
prove that man may be a Christian
and do business; and, in the second
place, tq show bow a man, aa he be
pomes a, greater Christian, shall
purify and lift the business which
he does and make it the worthy oc
cupation of the son of God. Bishop

Cklldrea and rateat Medicines.
: A sufficient number of analyses of
patent medicines have now been
made by government and other chem
ists to warrant this department to
sound a note of warning against the
patent medicine habit. All patent
medicines are not dangerous; some
aae, and the general public does not
discriminate frequently has no
means of doing so. The contents
of harmful remedies' have been so
frequently exposed as to make the
name a byword and yet these alco
holic beverages continue to be sold
at the drug stores as medicine and
continue their absurd advertisements,
It is a regretable fact that the drug
stores do not help in the campaign
against patent medicines. They have
taken no part in the exposure of
fraudulent remedies. Instead they
allow immense window displays to
be made advertising the concoctions;
they send circulars and almanacs
through the mail to their patrons,
and apparently are not interested in
the campaign now being so success
fully waged by welfare organizations
against the patent medicine evil.
Dr. Horatio Wood, Jr., estimates
that every year $100,000,000 are spent
in the United States alone for patent
medicines. The worst of these are
the pain killers, containing cocaine
or morphine as the soothing princi
ple, and the exhilirators containing
alcohol or strychnine, "to make you
feel good when you take it and mis
erable when you don't." From the
standpoint of child welfare. Dr.
Wood declares these soothing syrups
to be the most diabolical of all, as
they are loaded down with morphine.
The Ladies Home Journal of April
1908 cites the case of a child that
became peevish and cross. At eight
o'clock the mother gave the child the
first dose of medicine, at two or
three o'clock in the afternoon the
child died. The chemist found mor
phine in the medicine.
How many of our readers know
of instances where patent medicines
resulted in harm ? Mere opinions or
surmises would be of little value,
but well authenticated cases, through
chemical analysis or coroner's or
physician's testimony would be of
real value in deterring others from
the patent medicine evil.

Good Advice.
An old man once walking with a
little boy. They came across four
shrubs. The old man said to the
youthful companion:
"Pull up the last one."
. He obeyed with ease.
"Now the next.',
He obeyed, but it did not come so
easily, , -
"And the third."
It took all his strength to move its
roots. -
"Now the fourth."
In vain the lad put forth all his
strength. He only made the leaves
tremble; he could not move the roots.
They had gone strongly into to earth,
and no effort could dislodge them.
Then the wise old man said to the
ardent youth:- : 'V
"This, my son, is just what hap
pens with our passions. When they
are young and weak one may, " by a
little watchfulness over self and the
help of a little self-denial, ' easily
tear them up; but if we let them
cast their roots deep into our souls,
there is no human power can uproot
them then the Almighty hand of
the Creator alone can pluck them
out. . For this reason,; my child,
watch well over the first movement
of your soul, and study, by ; acts of
virtue, to keep your passions well in
check. Oxford. Banner, .. . ! J

Wia Their Confidence, Then Keep It.
The Henderson Gold Leaf very
truthfully says:
One of the main troubles with
some business men is that they are
afraid to invest a little good money
in printer's ink. He is a dull busi
neas scholar indeed who considers
money spent for live and aggressive
advertising as thrown away or mis
spent. Judicious and well directed
advertising always brings returns,
provided the advertiser is perfectly
honest with himself and his customer
and backs up his advertising by do
ing exactly what he says he will do.
Any advertising that is purposely in
tended to fool and defraud the peo
ple will invariably fall flat and re
bound upon the advertisers' head.
Honesty with the public and persist
ency of effort furnish the keynote of
all successful advertising. In other
words, the advertiser must first win
the confidence of the public and then
try to keep it by fair and square
dealing with everybody. Satisfied
customers are a mighty force in
backing up the business man's ad
vertising. Honesty in advertising is
of just as much importance to the
business man as is a clean record at
the bank. Never try to deceive or
mislead a customer through an ad
vertisement. Tell the people candid
ly what inducement you have to of
fer them in the way of business, and
then make good with them. Once
started, keep up the lick as regular
as the clock, and watch your busi
nsss grow. The most successful and
prosperous business men everywhere
are the most extensive, persistent
and truthful .advertisers. When a
bright young man, seeking to distin
guish himself in life, enters any of
the professions he does not take as
his pattern some sleepy-headed fel
low who has been content to remain
near the bottom of the ladder, but
he prefers to follow in the footsteps
of the more aggressive and success
ful men in that particular profession.
Just so with a young man who is en
tering upon a business career. If he
hopes to succeed he must first pat
tern after the most successful men in
his line, and it is a fact that no man
can successfully contradict that the
most successful merchants every
where have been and still are the
most regular advertisers."
North Carolina No Pigmy.
Few of us realize what a wide-
spreading domain North Carolina is.
It is larger than England. It has
52,250 square miles of territory. Its
length from Currituck county in the
east to Cherokee county in the west
is 503 miles. If a National Magazine
man will put a string down on the
sands of the sea at the eastern end
of the former county and stretch it
across the mountains to' the western
end of the latter, and, hitching one
end of the string to Currituck, car
ry the other end due north it will
land him in the middle of Lake
Champlain in New York State, cross
ing Virginia, Maryland, New Jer
sey, Delaware and more than half of
the Empire State. North Carolina
is longer than from Asheyille to
Chicago or from Sanford to Buffalo.
Its breadth is 188 miles at the widest
point. It has 100 counties, the lar
gest in square miles being Robeson
with about 1000, and the smallest
New Hanover with less than 150. It
produces a greater variety of 'pro
ducts than any of the sisterhood of
states. The first declaration on its
soil and it has led in many things,
always doing its duty alike in peace
and in war. Just now the outside
world is beginning to take note of
the marvelous resources of North
(Carolina and everything indicates a
marvelous industrial growth and ex
pansion here within the next' few
years. Sanford Express.' . 1
