ECEPTION,
No business furnishes a better op-
portunity for the practice of deception
than the drug business, and occasionally
you meet with druggists who take ad-
vantage of your ignorance and substi-
tute drugs of a cheap, inferior order for
those of a better, purer grade. If you
want the best of everything obtainable
in a first class drug store—the finest of
drugs, the freshest of patent medicines,
the choicest of toilet articles, the dair=
tiest of perfumes, get it here. You get
only the best of everything.

Our School—One Class vs. Angther.
The old school bell again chimesout
“come!” and as we look forth and see
the groups of boys and girls on their
way to school. we note some whose
elastic step and cheerful faces are
highly indicative of the soul and mind,
and all such wiil prove a blessing to
themselves, their teachers and their
school. Their actions show their anx-
jety for work; their lessons will be
perfectly prepared; their recitations
well given, and they will attain to that
round on the lader of fame and learn-
ing called success. They will master
all knotty problems, not only in school |
but ir life. They will not require pun-
ishing in order to teach them the
necessity of getting their lessons.
They study because they love to; are
industrious and energetic from prin-
ciple ; their life will be a success.
Following comes another group of
boys whose lagging steps and sullen
faces show that the sound of the bell
grated harshly upon their ears. These
boys will prove unruly, unkind, and,
unlike the other class named, will take
but little interest in their work, and
at the end of the year, in spite of a
teacher's earnest efforts in their be-
half, will be but little farther advanced
than in the beginning.
We need not say what the result
will be in the latter case, but to these
boys’ parents we wish to say, try to
cultivate in their minds a love for the
school and school work. See to it that
they are in school every day; that
their report cards show a good grade,
or know why such is not the case. In
other words, see if you can’t control
your boys, and not depend upon the
teacher to do it.
A PAYING INVESTMENT.
Mr. John White, of 38 Highland Ave.
Houlton, Maine, says: “Have been
troubled with a cough every winter and
spring. Last winter I tried many ad-
vertised remedies, but the cough con-
tinued until I bought a 50c. bottle of
Dr. King’s New Discovery ; before that
was half gone, the cough was all gone.
This winter the same happy result has
followed ; a few doses once more ban-
ished the annual cough. I am now
convinced that Dr. King’s New Dis-
cevery is the best of all cough and lung
remedies.” Sold under guarantee at

The Nature Lover’s Creed.
The nature lover's creed, written by
Mary Gage Peterson, chairman of the
forestry department of the General
Federation of Women’s clubs, is as fol-
lows:
I believe in nature and in God's out
o’-doors.
1 believe in pure air, fresh water, and
abundant sunlight.
I believe in the mountains; and as]
lift up mine eyes to behold them, I re-
ceive help and strength.
I believe that below their snowy
crowns their mantles should be ever
green.
I believe in the forests where the
sick may be healed and the weary
strengthened : where the aged may re-
new their youth, and the young gather
stores of wisdom which shall abide
with them always.
I believe that the groves were God’
first. temples, and that, here al! hearts
should be glad and no evil thought
come to mar the peace; I believe that
all who seek shelter within these aisles
should guard the noble heritage from
harm. and the fire fiend never be :l-
lowed to roam unwatched
I believe in the highland spring: n
Inkes. and would have noble trees
stand guard around them; upon the
mountain sides 1 would spread a thei
carpet of leaves and moss throne:
which the water might find its wa
into the valleys and onward to th
ocean,
1 believe in the giant trees which
have stood for thousands of years. and
shall come nigh
them.
I believe in the ax of the trained
woodsman, and would have <t hew
down the mature trees of today. that
we may secure lumber for our needs,
and the trees of smaller growth have
more light and air and space.
I believe in the seeds of the trees.
and would gather and plant them, and
I would care for the seedlings until
they are ready to stand with their
brothers in the forest and plains, then
the wilderness and the dry land shall
be glad and the desert shall rejoice.
1 believe in protecting the birds and
the animals that live amid the trees,
and the ferns and mosses and blossom-
ing plants.
1 believe in all the beautiful things
of nature, and would preserve, protect.
and cherish them.
“Come, let’s to the fields. the meads,

The forests invite us, the streams and

TAFT'S KINDNESS TO BLIND.
Overrules Washington Menument Reg-
ulation For Benefit of the Sightless.
The kind heartedness of Mr. Taft
and his sincere, common sense Sym-
pathy with the unfortunates in this
world has just been brought to the at-
tention of the blind in a peculiar way.
Away up in the top of the Washing-
ton monument, where thousands go to
behold the beauties of the nation’s
capital, the Columbia Polytechnic in-
stitute, which seeks to make it possi-
ble for the adult blind of the United
States to rise above conditions of de-
pendence by becoming self sustaining.
placed on sale souvenir post cards
manufactured by its blind. Some sen-
timental persons took the view that
this was undignified and succeeded in
having the superintendent of. public
buildings and grounds order the cards
removed. F. E. Cleaveland, principal
of the institute, appealed to Mr. Taft,
then secretary of war and within
whose jurisdiction came the office of
public buildings and grounds. It took
only a few words to convince the sec-
retary that the blind should have the
benefit of this privilege, and the cards
were again placed on sale in the mon-
ument.
“For this action,” said Principal
Cleaveland in discussing the incident,
“Mr. Taft deserves the gratitude of
every blind person, particularly the
progressive blind. who are striving to
help their less fortunate fellows.”
ANTI-NEGRO PLANKS IN WEST
VIRGINIA DEMOCRATIC
PLATFORM.
Jim Crow Plank.
We favor the enactment of a law re-
quiring common carriers engaged in
passenger traffic to furnish separate
coaches or compartments for white and
colored passengers.
Elective Franchise Plank. ;
Believing that the extension of the
elective franchise to a race inferior in
intelligence and without preparation
for the wise and prudent exercise of a
privilege so vital to the maintenance
of good government was a mistake if
not a crime committed by the Repub-
lican party during the reign of passion
and prejudice following the civil war
for political ends and purposes, we de-
clare that the Democratic party is in
favor of so amending the constitution
as to preserve the purity of the ballot
and the electorate of the state from the
evil results from conferring such pow-
er and privilege upon those who are
unfitted to appreciate its Importance,
as it affects the stability and preserva-
tion of good government.
Taft's Religion.
To dispose of questions which should
not be asked as speedily as possible let
us say that Mr. Taft is not a= Roman
Catholic. He is a member of the Uni-
tarian church. That was the church of
his parents, and he has never separat-
ed himself from it. His wife, however,
Is an Episcopalian, and he worships
more often beside her in her church
These are the facts, which are utter-
ly and absolutely unimportant. The
matter of a man's religion has no right
ful place in consideration of his fitness
for the presidency. The constitution
of the nation, ordained and established
“to secure the blessings of liberty to
ourselves and our posterity,” expressly
places the very suggestion of such
thought outside the pale of patriotism.
No words can be clearer than these
from our country’s fundamental lawy
“No religious test ever shall be re-
quired as a qualification to any office
or public trust under the United
States.”
The numerous queries about Mr.
Taft's religious belief show simply the
extent to which his enemies have goue
to rouse some prejudice against him
Since there was no spot upon his whole
elean record of private conduct and
public service to which they could
point to Taft's detriment they display-
ed their willingness to descend to any
depth of petty. cowardly, contemptible
attack that might do him barm.—Phila-
delphia North American.
Same Old Story.
Taft talked “straight talk” to his
countrymen about every issue that en-
grosses the thoughts of Americans to-
day. Bryan promises a series of post-
scripts to dispose of tariff, railroads.
‘eurrency, trusts and everything else of
real importance. And then he engages
in one of his melancholy searches after
a “paramount issue” and finds it in
the rhetoricgl, fustian and: tinsel .plati-
tude, “Shall the people rule?”
1t is the old, old story. The garb of
the conservative does not sit well upon
the born Crusader. Mr. Bryan has put
forth a tactful, smoothly phrased bub-
dle of generalities, and he has done so
at the very moment when the mental
appetite of the whole people is sharp-
ened for strong meat and not wind
pudding.
With a score of honestly disputed
and important questions open, he
chooses deliberately to select as the
chief Issue of the campaign a query to
which there is absolutely no negative
response—‘‘Shall the people rule?” The
people always have ruled and always
will rule.—Philadelphia North Ameri-
can, Aug. 15, 1908.
Reciprocal Boosting.
Judge Parker is laboring for the
Bryan cause in California, which re-
cals the fact that Bryan’s campaign in
Nebraska for Parker kept the Repub-
lican - majority in the state down to
86,000.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Mr. Bryan criticises Mr. Taft for
adding to the Republican platform. In
the meantime the number of ‘“para-
mount issues” which Mr. Bryan sub-
: Omaha Bee.
| tracted from the Democratic platform
| would fill several large volumes.—
TRYING TO
HOODWINK NEGROES
Democrats Pursuing Their Usual
Double Faced Policy.
Upholding Disfranchisement In the
South While Forming Colored Bryan
Clubs In West.
[From the Baltimore Sun, Dem.]
General Winfield S. Hancock, who
was the Democratic nominee for pres-
ident in 1880, declared the tariff was
principally a “local question”—that is
to say, a Pennsylvania Democrat
might be a protectionist for protec-
tion’s sake, while a Democrat in Geor-
gia or in Iowa might hold fast to the
doctrine of a tariff for revenue only.
| The Massachusetts Democrat might be
a free trader without reservation of
any kind, while the West Virginia
Democrat might be a free trader only
with respect to commodities which
were not produced by his own state.”
General Hancock's pronouncement
was considered an ingenious evasion
of- the tariff issue, but it did not pro:
duce harmony in the Democratic par
ty, and the general was defeated.
Twenty-eight years have passed
since General Hancock defined the
tariff as a local question upon which
the Democrats of each state were free
to act with regard chiefly to local in-
terests. The principle which he then
formulated seems to have been adopt-
ed by Democrats in the west in re
spect to the relation of the Democrat-
fc party to the negro. Last week the
West Virginia Democratic convention
embodied in its platform planks de-
manding certain qualifications for
voters, designed to disfranchise many
negroes. Their platform also contains
a declaration in favor of separate
coaches for white and negro passen-
gers on railroads. The West Virginia
Democrats not only refuse to hold out
the olive branch to the negro and in-
vite him Into their fold, but they are
determined to limit his political activi-
ty by a disfranchising law and to
bring him under the operation of a
“Jim Crow” law when he travels on
the railroads of that state.
What Are the Promises?
Out in Nebraska and in Kansas the
Democratic campaign managers are
organizing negro voters into Bryan
clubs. In Ohio no effort will be spared
to secure the support of the negro
voters for the Democratic national
ticket. What pledges have been given
and what inducements have been of-
fered does not appear. But it is a fair
Inference that the managers have
promised to do “something for the ne-
gro,” perhaps to recognize him in the
distribution of offices, if Mr. Bryan
should be elected, and also to take
such action as the negroes may de-
mand in respect to the reinstatement
of the negro battalion dismissed from
the army by President Roosevelt for
the attack on Brownsville. Last week
when the West Virginia Democrats
were declaring for a disfranchisement
law and for a “Jim Crow” law the
Democratic convention in the Twelfth
congressional district of Ohio adopted
a platform favoring ‘the enactment
of laws which shall accord to all men
accused of wrongdoing, whether sol-
diers or civillans, a fair and impartial
trial and an oppertunity to be heard
before conviction or punishment.”
This apparently refers to the Browns-
ville incident. It may also have a
broader meaning and a more extended
application and may be susceptible of
an interpretation which will make
southern Democrats open their eyes
with amazement and possibly with ap-
prehension
Race Question “Local Issue?”
There seems to be no ground for rea-
sonable doubt that the Democratic
campaign managers in the west, in the
effort to secure negro support for their
national ticket, are acting upon the
principle that the race question is only
a “local Issue.” It is evident that the
south does not approve this plan of
campaign. but is powerless to check it
The Democracy of the south is in full
accord with the position taken by the
West Virginia Democrats last week.
And yet If Is assumed by those who
are trying to get negroes to support
Mr. Bryan that the south will act In
hearty co-operation with the Ohio, Ne-
braska, Kansas and Illinois Democrats
who are welcoming the negro into free
fellowship In the Democratic party
and probably promising to annu! the
decision of President Roosevelt in the
Brownsville matter. The theory of
western Democrats that the race prob-
lem is merely a local issue Is calcu-
lated to give the south much concern.
Many Democrats in that section may
question whether it is worth while to
elect a Democratic president who may
open wide the door of political oppor-
tunity to the negro.
