cruelty and putrefaction. But when the
liberties and the license of journalism
come before our court and juries, there
is seldom difficulty in drawing cleaVly the
line that devides abuse from justice. To
day more than ever the organs of opinion
throughout this land are assured that for
honest and careful comment on men and
acts of public moment no punishment is
likely to fall upon them. Such comment
is their duty, for they are guardians of
the people's welfare.' as surely as are
teachers, statesmen, or ministers of the
goepel. A high mission is theirs, a privi
lege, a call, and with every editor or
newspaper owner should be ever the de
votion and the responsibility that good
man feel when power over others lies
within their hands.; A min who uses the
vast power of publicity (pharm the public
for his own gain, or recklessly and selfish
ly to injure individuals, is as wicked as an
immoral clergyman or venal office-holder.

THINGS TO FORGET
If you see a tall fellow ahead of a crowd,
A leader of men, marching fearless and
proud,
And you know of a tale whose mere tell
ing aloud
Would cause his proud head to in an
guish be bowed.
It's a pretty good plan to forget it.
lf,you know of a skeleton hidden away.
In a closet, and guarded, and kept from
the day.
In the dark: and whose showing, whose
sudden display.
Would cause grief and sorrow and life
long dismay,
It's a pretty good plan to forget it
If you know of a thing that will darken
the joy
Of a man or a woman, a girl or a boy,
Tnat will wipe out "a smile or the least
way annoy . .
A fallow, or causing any gladness to cloy,
Its a pretty good plan to forget it.

, A MODERN MIRACLE
"Tiuly miraculous seemed the recovery
of Mrs. Mollie Holt of. this place," writes
0. R. Hooper, Woodford. Tenn., "she
was so wasted by coughing up pus from
her lungs. Doctors declared her end so
near that her family had watched by her
bed-side forty-eight hours; when, at my
urgent request Dr. King's New Discovery
was given her, and with the astonishing
result that improvement began, and con
tinued until she finally completely recov
ered, and is healthy woman today.

Men have been subsisting on the food
that plants supply from the earliest period
of their existence on earth and yet how
very few know the process of plant
growth. To the most of the men whose
business it is to cultivate the soil and
make plants grow for food or fiber that
people may eat and wear clothing, the
process of plant growth is an unsolved
mystery, They work by guess. This
should not longer be. The common
schools should teach the children the
whole process of plant growth the germi
nation of the seed, the function of roots
bark, stem, limbs, ' buds, leaves and
blossoms; in fact the whole process that
nature has ' contrived to gather the
scattered elements into a perfect plant
should be taught in the common schools
even if some of the pedantry now taught
has to be discarded.

The war cloud now raising over the
United States still grows and darkens
our government Is gathering soldiers and
war ships in the Philippine Islands and
the Chinese people are daily Increasing
in bitterness against the people of the
United States. It is only possible that
diplomacy may defer the rupture. Any
days dispatches may tell of missionaries
massacred or traders plundered,
Ch na has five times as many people as
there are in the United States and if we
have to go across the Pacific ocean to
war with them we will be at adisadvant
age. The enormous expense of such a
war will make it to our interest to bring
it to a close as quickly as possible while
the Chinese can accomplish their purpose
as well by procastination if not better
tian with energetic war. What the
Chinese people want is to sever all com'
mercial relations and intercourse with us,
unless we throw open our ports to them
as to Europeans.

Freedom of criticism is a privilege of
our newspapers.which is in no danger of
being taken away. It is too essentia! a

freedom of mind and alertness of mental
life. As every advantage has its shadow,
so personal gossip, mean detective
scandal, and false romance (n criminal
news come along as evils in the train of
freedom, and some papers there are of
