Piofe&sor Coldwln Smith writes to
the spe-aktr one of the mott mislead
lug letters which could possibly be
put before the public. It commences
by saying:
"I soptse the donors of the Maine
thought that they were paying a com
pliment to America In calling It by
that name, but, really they were prick
ing the American conscience, as there
are few things more certain than that
the Maine was blown up by the ignit
ing of coal In her bunkers.
'The same accident has happened to
thrve American ves-sels since one of
them commanded by the same captain
of the Maine, though In these cases
the vessels were saved. Nothing is
more certain than that the Maine was
not blown up by the Spaniards."

From the English point of view there
is not a cloud on the sky of interna
tional relations. The war Is far too
engrossing to permit people to pause
and consider the effect on Great Brit
ain of the apparent change of regime
In China, while congressional action on
the Xicaraguan canal or the proposed
Increase in the armament of the Uni
ted States scarcely causes a ripple of
interest. The foreign oflice, apparent
ly, has not the slightest belief that the
Cla ton-Kulvver trtaty Is In danger of
violation and so far has taken no steps
in the matter. Neither do the ro
Boer or other meetings in the United
States any longer attract serious at
tention or comment, for the majority
of the British have mnde up their
minds that the United States is friend
ly to them and they put aide any
manifestations to the contrary us due
to lxal political causes which cannot
be taken as in my way representing
rational opinion.

ered important.
K.-vieu ing the business of lSW, the
Tinei says:
"The fact that In the United States
the expansion of business commenced
a year later than elsewhere, seems to
explain the fact which must be admit
ted, that American expansion is ?iot
so far advanced, relatively, as that
of the United Kingdom and Germany,
and may consequently be expected to
continue for a while after the busi
ness of the two latter countries shows
signs ot contracting. That advantage
however may be conceivably nullified
by the occurence this year of another
presidential election.

"PORTO" OR -PUERTO" RICO.
Important Disagreement Between the
President and the Island Sen
ate Committee.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.-The senate
com.nittee on Porto Rico has decided,
so far as it can decides that the island
shall be known as ,-Porto" Rico and
not "Puerto" Rico, as fixed by a re
cert executive order.
The committee went over the Fora
ker bill in detail, deciding upon many
changes In the phraseology and some
alterations in the provisions ot tho
bill. Probably one of the most import
ant changes was to strike out the word
"constitution" wherever It appeared
in the criginal print of the bill. The
change was made because of the
opinion generally expressed that our
constitution Is not suited to the Porto
Rii o people.
Another important amendment pro
vides for the retirement of Porto
Rlcan coin and the substitute for them
of the coins of the United States. An
other provision authorizes the presi
dent to appoint an officer of the army
to be governor of the Island.

It searches ont the first cause. When a
man is in this condition you can put your
finder on one of two spots and hit that first
cans the stomach or the liver or both.
This great medicine acts directly on these
spots. It promptly transforms a weak stom
ach into a healthy one. It facilitates the
flew of diifestive juices and makes diges
tion and assimilation perfect. It gives a
man an appetite like a boy's. It inviger
ates the liver. It fills the blood with the
life-giving elements of the food, and makes
it pure, rich, red and plentiful. The blood
is the life current, and when it is filled with
the elements that build nrw and healthy
tissues, it does not take long to make a man
well and strong. Jt builds firm, muscular

into ev ry atom and org;in of the body. It
cures nervous exhaustion and prostration.

monotony of their existence, often from
hard labor and exposure, becamo help
lcs.: invalids, insane or succumbed to
their hard lot ami passed on with the
gr.-at majority, now find many heurs
of rest and urne fir. mental culture.
Now, whe-n we think for one moment
that there Is nothing of any considera
tion in use by us today that 50 years
ago was not wholly undreamed of, or
was In the crude, unformed state of Its
infancy, in use by only the rich, be-cause
the poor could not afford such extrava
gant luxuries, it makes us realize the
glory ol this, the greatest and bright
it ectitury, In tht history of tho civili
zation of mankind. In the history of
the- Hebrews, we are told that thous
and:! of years ago, they were In bond
age to the Egyptians for 300 years, that
they labored with their hands, men,
voii'.en and children, to help bulb!
Egypt's Immortal monuments of great
ness, a n'ute and helpless contribution
to the rr.ost wonderful civilization of
ancient hlstetry. Hut to that which
stiil lives today of Egyptian architect
ural granduer, It tetok myriads of hu
man slaves almemt unnumbered centur
ies to build. The contribution made
to Egypt by the Hebrew slaves, mil
lions though they were, was but as a
handful of dust added to a mountain.
Egypt has be-en In process of building
agf;s before we hear of her through
this me-ager bit of Hebrew history and
continued on In the same way centur
ies after and so all the world's ad
vancement has been made by pattent
toil of untold generations In a crude,
cumbersome way, until almost simul
tardously like a blinding flash of light
ning come crowding one upon another,
the wonele-rfiil labor-saving and world-eniifhte-nment
giving Inventions, of
this, our proud century which has
made a sharp turning point In tho
progress of the world.
Again, alluding to Inventors, most of
them are American born, sons of
Airerican mothers, the country of all
the earth' today that has the freest and
moht enlightened womanhood for all
classes of women, and the best hu
manitarian Institutions fetr the care anft
protection of helpless women and
children. A short while ago there were
no free kindergartens, where the
smallest children were cared for and
taught In sueh a gentle beguiling way
that the children think it play Instead
of daily mental and physical develop
ment. There were no pleasant homes
for little children, where working
women could with perfect coiulde'itre
leave their little one to noble, ctmrb
t'iMi', sanl'ary, humanitarian, and '
euil'llitened care, while they worked
for their dally nocrssltlos; and tb.HO

So, thinking of woman's superior advantage-
today, and the wonderful
change in her condition during the
ci'til iry, nnd that It has mostly come
aiio-.t by the Inti'lllgetico of I lie- sons
of mother, we trace effe ct bark to
cause, and know at oncp that tho broad
princlole-s of our government; I his land
of the free and the home of the brave,
have, in spite of woman's disabilities,
drawn her forward nnd upward, mor
ally, inle-lle e luully and physically, not
as individuals but III the aggregate.
As a people grow In Intelligence, and
enlightenment, so also must they grow
In broad humane principles. They must
know that whnt Is gooel nnd Just to
the few must be right nnd ennobling
to all. A woman has recognition now
licfori' the law, that In the past ccntur-le-s
were not thought at all preiper
that she should have. She ha person
al and property rights that she did not
think of demanding before this cen
tury begnn. And much if the h gds
lalion has been given her by the sons
of wdiuwi who w-re tinS'-KlHli enough to
see her great need. Hut he has had to
use argument and diplomacy and even
strategy, to eounte'rbalanee the selllsh
ness and prejudice of bis loss enlight
ened brother man.
Until within the past half century
a married woman was denied the right
of th3 wages earned at separate work,
the right to property which she had
Inherited afterward, or the right to
the custody and guardianship of her
oan children; the right to the custody
or control of her own person; the right
to share in the Joint earning of the
married co-partnership. Iiy tho old
common law of England which was
adopted by all the original states of
the union, the wife was dead In the
law. According to lllackstone, the
husband and wife are one, and that
one the husband. Today the Oregon
law gives the wifo eepial property right
with her husband, the dower being
one-half, when formerly It was one
third, and In the guardianship of hor
children she has eeiual rights with him,
the husband being compelled to sup
port her according to his means. Khe
has tho right to property owneel by
her before marriage as wedl ns any
that norm's to her afterward. And she
may go Into business on her sole re
sponsibility. And these laws, within
themselves, make a complete change
in the setclal status of women, more
far reaching than their-generous mak
ers may have thought possible. These
are the causes that have breuight about
I the surprising changes to women of
I this passing century nnd especially the
last half of it, during which most all
j tne changes alluded to have taken
place. Now woman Is doing great
work In philanthropy and charity In
unfold ways. 8he Is learning that or
ganized work Is the most effectual. Bo
