THF FOREST REPUBLICAN J. C. WINK, Cdito 4 Pao.mtTOR WKDNKNDA Y. FEBRUARY 12. 1!H3 1913 FEBRUARY (913 S ML " 1 loMro 16 mi8j9 !23i24j25;26i2728 Turkrt anks the power fir explana tion. The point is tbi: It is belter, when helpless, to walk out voluntarily than to bump the hump. Throvohoit the country the parrel post ia adding $1,000,000 a day to the postal revenue. The new facilities will not lark cash to keep them in lively mo tion. A YKAR ao there waa deScIt of f25.0O0.OO0 in the national treasury. Now there Ik a surplus. Last year ended with aurplusand the Republican record ia still in the aacenriinit scale. Amkn'pino the constitution of the United Hlates ia nt aa difficult aa baa been supposed. When the people made up their mind Ibnrouuhly the methods now prescribed worked well. Compulsory voting Is one of the pop ular subjects of legislation this year, A song bird Hint refuses to sing csn be made to sing, snd on the same theory it is possible that a legal voter who refuses to vote can be made to come across with bia ballot. Articlk XVI , just added to the con stitution, reads: "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes en incomes, from whatever source derived, without appointment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration." The constitution con tinues to be one of Ibe best examples of condensed language. A rath kr incongruous provision in the parcel post law ia apparent in Ibe ex clusion of books from the benefit of the cheap rs'ns. It has been po nted out that deck of cards may be mailed by parcel post, while the bible ia excluded from its benefits. Just bow this discrimination crept Into the law no one Is able to figure out but that it makes the popular statute appear quite like a "partial" poat is the general opinion. This defect should be hastily remedied. Writing from the National Capital to his borne paper the Brookville Republi can, of wbicb be was for many years the able editor, aud wbicb paper supported the candidacy of Col. Roosevelt, F, A. Weaver gives Ibis fair and truthful esti mate of one of America's greatest Presi dents: "The deportment f President Taft, since the election of his successor, has been such as to win Ibe admiration of the thinking people of the nation. He accepts tbe situation with bis accustomed amlle, aod proceeds in tbe performance of bis varied official duties in such a manly fashion as to disconcert aod silence bis maliguera. If possible he has shown in creasing courage Id bis own convictions, and tbo ability to defend wbat bo believes to be right. He has, at ail times, recog nized that be is the presideut of the whole uuion of states, that no section or class has a auperior claim upon biin for con sideration. At a recent meeting of an Important national organisation, com posed of ladies from the South, resolu tions were passed reciting tbe many acts ol the President demonstrating bis con sideration for tbe people of tbe South, aud thanking hi in for putilio expressions of sympathy aud best wishea. Tbe ad verse verdict at the polls is not accepted by him as in the least condemnatory of tbe principles of the party be has had Ibe honor to represent, but simply a back ward movement of the pendulum of lime reversion due to the discontent of the people, who clamor loudest for change while in tbe enjoyment of tbe greatest measure of prosperity. Taft ia an opti mist, has not lost taitb iu the people or bis country, snd tberi is an abiding be lief that many who voted for a change last November will have cause to regret bia absenre at the White House before tbe coming four years have been numbered with tbe past." Spiking Their Guns. Governor Tener's snswer to the resolu tions which have been introduced In tbe Legislature to start investigations is a fitting one. He calls upon every em ploye f his administration in be prepared at tbe end of each day's work to give complete report of tbe conduct of bis of fice or depsrlmen'.. "We want every thing to be done open and above board," saya the Governor, "aud there mils' be nothing to bide from anybody." He also adds that any member of tbe Legislature desirinc inlormstion concerning any de partment, who will iufonn the Governor of bis wishes, will be given full oppor tunity to obtain it directly from tbe head of such department. This is a plain an swer to tbe insinuations contained in tbe resolutions and disarms those who prompted them tor tbe purpose of dis crediting tbe administration. Governor Tener bas made bia administration a bus iness one and today bas tbe confidence of the people. Uiaopen proposition to give everyone an opportunity to satisfy any auspicion they may have regarding Ibe conduct of tbe State's affairs it in keeping wllii bis past record since taking tbe of-ne.-Oil City Derrick. The postolfice department is at work on a plan lor tbe adoption of a uniform mall box for tbe use of rural aud star route pa runs, especial atteotiuu being given t tbe needs of Ibe service in con nection witb tbe development of the parcel post. Rural mail boxes at present are of many varieties, but few being adapted to acoomujodate tbe larger sized packages. The matter Is now in ibe bands of a committee of postal olficers which will recommend a new style of Voi tbst will displace all boxes now lu Recent Deaths. HI' UN MS. Mr. Ma'llda Hulings, wife of A.

It stands for experience, knowl edge, wisdom, counsel. That is old age as it should be, but old sge as it otteu is mesne poor digestion, torpid bowels, s sliHgisb liver and a general leeling of ill health, despondency and misery. This in almost every Instance Is wholly un necessary. One of Chamberlain's Tablets taken Immediatily after supper will im prove tbe digestion, tone up Ibe liver and regulate tbe bowels, That feeling of des pondency will give way to one of hope aod good rbeet.
