The loss of life as a result of the
Ohio floods is now estimated at three
thousand. And still the horror grows.
Weather Chief Willis Moore when
his resignation takes effect will, it is
announced, go on the lecture platform.
Well, Willis has a lot of expla ining to
do and being on the lecture plat or m
will afford him a good oppotrunity.
The capacity of some men fcr mean
ness can't be calculated until the tests,
are applied. At Zanesville, Ohio,
one of the flood stricken towns, boat
men in one instance refused to remove
persons from imperilled homes unless
paid in advance. Luckily a squad of
militiamen were at hand and forced them
to aid in the rescue work. You don't
want to conclude that the world hasn't
a good supply of wolves in hi man
form.
These are great days for the news
papers. With almoit unprecedented
floods in this country, with a new ad
m nistraticn and a new party taking
hil.1 of affa'ri in Washington, with
the Balkan war being feught to a grim
finish, with Mexico in the throes of a
civil war liable at any moment to
flame into some horror that will make
the world stand aghast, every hour
is crowded with news possibilties of
the mo t striking and picturesque
kind.
"Montgomery's dog killer still lives,"
fpvs a headline. How about the fool
killer? The new administration took hole
of the flood sitc.a'.ion like old hand.
at the business.
There is every indication that the
Democrats will put up as di graceful
a scrimmage over Federal positions a
the Republicans did when they were
in power. Of course our Republican
friends are sad at being out of office and
out of power, but they undoubtedly
are getting some ' satifaction out of
watching the antics of the "unterrified'
at the pic counter.
r The burning of San Francisco was a
dreadful disaster and a very costly
one in dollars and cents, but it is esti
mated that the property loss in Ohio
as a result of the recent floods is greater
than was the property loss in San
Francisco. Of course the loss of money
is in no wise to be compared in im
portance with the loss of life, but the
comparsion with San Francisco serves
to give an idea of the magnitude of
the Ohio disaster.
Late news from the flood disaster
in Ohio and Indiana is that the loss
of life is not altogether as large as it
was feared at one time it would be.
Exploration of the flooded section
has revealed hundreds safe who were
thought to have been drowned. It
was natural that the first impressions
should have resulted in exaggerated
opinions as to the extent of the calamity.
Life is precious. One reason the
first estimates as to the dead in Dayton
were too great was because the esti
mators failed to allow for the deter
mined and perservering efforts which a
human being will make before surrend
ering up bis life. Whether it be the
Aliens condemned to die on a mur
der charge or men and women marooned
by the floods of Ohio, the desire to
live is powerful and abiding and its
results are seen in unexpected and
sometimes seemingly miraculous es
capes. A nephew of President Huerta of
Mexico took it into his he?d the other
day that there had not been enough
summary executions of rebels. So
with a troop of soldiers he rode to the
pentientiary and bad oat of the pris
oners brought out and riddled with
bullets. Of course this was simply
adding fuel to the flames of the Mexican
revolution, and it is not surprising that
the perpetrator of such a crime was
drunk at the time. The government
has uadertskeo to investigate tb
HOW ONE

Tampa, Fla. In a letter from thh
elty, Mrs. E. C. Coram writes: "I was
all weakened and worn oat with wo
manly troubles. My husband brought
me some Cardul as a tonic and, from
the first day, it seemed to help.
I had almost lost my reason, but,
thanks to Cardul, I did not. Soon, I
felt -and looked like a new woman. I
think the remedy is wonderful. I
recommend it to my friends, for I have
received great benefit from it."
Cardul acta specifically on the weak
ened womanly organs, strengthening
the muscles and nerves, and building
them up to health.
It helps to refresh the worn-out ner

overwork, both mental and physical.

barbarous deed, but nothing is expected

If the Democrats have got to split
over anything it ought to be over
principles rather than pie.
Fifteen thousand people are said
to have tried to see thebodies of Floyd
and Claud Allen Friday night over
the protest of Victor AUen. This is
an exhibition of a morbid sort of
curiosity that appears to exist on a
large scale in this country and that
does not augur well for the moral
soundness of the people. That fifteen
thousand peolpe should have had a
craving to see the bodies was bad
enough and it was worse that they
should have had not regard for the
feeling s of the wretched man in whose
charge they were. But there's no ac
counting for tastes.
SMASHING PRECEDENTS.
There is a democrat in the White
House and we ask the reader to note
the absence of the capital letter. The
new President is just a plain citizen,
whole-souled, simple in his manners,
averse to show and display of all sorts,
thrifty in his personal habits, hostile
to notoriety, not afraid to express his
views and not afraid not to express
them if has not had time to get the
facts on which to form them.
All of these traits and others like
them have come out in bold relief rn
the wholesale smashing of precedents
which has been going on at the White
House since he has been the chief
personage therein, as is admirably
shown by the Washington correspon
dents of the Chicago Record Herald
in the following catalogue of the cus
toms and practices which have been
unhestitatingly uspct;
1. Came the downfall of the inau
gural ball, with its money changers
and "turkey trots."
2. The favorite barber. President
Wilson shave shimself.
3. ("The blow that killed father").
The antiquated custom of parading
officeseekei s at the White House.
No pie-hunters are admitted until
sent for.
4. The President is going to run tie
Government. Politicians may make
suggestions, but need not expect to
sec them carried out unless, perhaf s,
they coincide with the White House
views.
5. The President goes to church to
worship, not to be seen. Crowds may
gather about the President's church
door, but if he sees them first they
will not see him.
6. The gold braid and lace business
has been eliminated; Major Rhoades,
military aide, inherited from Presi
dent Taft, dresses like an ordinary
citizen when he goes out with the
President.
7. The khaki-clothed motorcycle po
licemen who used to follow the White
House automobile have been given
other employment; the President rides
without bicycle escorts.
8. The ancient custom of draping
the President's box at the theatre and
playing the nations,! anthem when the
President arrives has been put into
the discard
9. Old "it is said" has disappeared
from the White House news and in
stead if appears, "the President said,"
10. "That was said in a Cabinet
meeting and cannot be made public"
is of the past; what transpires at a
Cabinet meeting is public property.
11. The bi-weekly Cabinet meetings
are under the ban. The Cabinet will
meet when there is something to be
done.
12. Promiscuous use of the "execu
tive order" has been stopped. Miss
Salome Tarr, barred by the civil
service regulations from the White
House stenographers' corps, could have
gone in by special appointment of the
President, but the President refused
to exercise the power in her behalf.
13. President Wilson rests on the
seventh day. He puts the bars of the
White House up Saturday night at
12 o'clock and lets them stay up until
Monday.
14. CoM suppers are to be the rule
at the White House Sunday evenings;
the old Presbyterian rule will prevail.
IS. The President declined an in
vitation to the Chevy Chase Club.
16. John Barleycorn and all other
sorts of intoxicating drinks have been
tabooed at the White House, gj&
To this may be added two more.

great deal and I had pain through my
kidneys which plainly showed that I

Doan's Kidney Pills were procured
from the Bradham Drug Co. and thev
so effectively removed my trouble
that I have only had need of them once
