Its privileges should be for all of them and not bartered off to some of them. That, gentlemen, constitutes my political econo my, my politics, and, I say It rev erently, my religion. And It Is. I believe, the religion that Christ taught to the people many years ago. Tom Johnson. TOO MANY STUDIES. Senate concurrent resolution No. 24, Introduced by Senator Miller, of Linn county, and passed by the legls lature, contains some of the most im portant and vital suggestions that were laid before the people by the twenty-second session. It is a plea to the state board of education, for a cessation of the "cramming" process in the schools; It calls the attention of parents to the notorious fact that studies can only be skimmed over by pupils of a ten der age, who are required today to take three times the number of branches taught in public schools ten years ago. An education under these condi tions such an education as would stand the test of genuine learning, founded upon thorough familiarity with principles and instilled into the mind by lasting processes, is well nigh impossible. Or if such an education is acquired by fifty per cent, or twenty-five per cent of the pupils of the public school it is done at the cost of health, and often brings with it a permanently weakened constitution and is a curse forever after, instead of a blessing. There is a limit to the capabilities of school children. Their mental strength, being in the growing and formative stage, is susceptible to the most insignificant pressure. Often one month or one school term of hard brain work, coupled with the natural desire to succeed and aggravated by the irresistible stimulant of rivalry In class work, undermines the foun dations of a constitution, and lays plans for an unfortunate career of ill ness and unsatisfactory work. Reduce the number of studies; give more time to classes; go to the bot tom of branches taught; lay founda tions upon the solid rock of under standing, and get off the shifting sandbars of surface learning, quickly forgotten or inadequate to meot the demands of life. The resolution, which fallows, should receive the earnest consideration of the board of education: Whereas, The public school is the only Institution actually employed in tho education of the masses, and Whereas, a very large per cent of tho children receive all the education they ever acquire in said public school, and Whereas, The course of study now employed In the public schools of this state requires so much work on the part of the child, that tho essential branches are not and cannot be well learned, and Whereas, Tho number of books now Jn use In said course of Instruc tion In said public schools is exces sive and a financial burden upon the people of tho state, Therefore, Be It resolved by the senate, the house concurring, that tho stato board of education be, and is hereby earnestly requested to so re vise the course of Instruction now in use In the public schools of this state, as to reduce the amount of work and give special attention to tho branches thnt will be of most value to tho children in pursuing the different av ocations of life. And that it is the sensu of the leg islature that the public schools of the state should be encouraged and fost ered by every means in our power. THE PRESS AND THE PEOPLE. It is the business of the newspaper to tell the news and tell It truthfully. It is no part of tho duty of tho press to manufacture news; It is bad enough to manufacture opinion. The news columns of all legitimate papers are simply the movements of the community, collected and put into form. They are the individual acts of the locality, codified. And like in all other collections, there is a certain per cent of the unwholesome ever present. People often look upon the press as an inquisitor. They hide their move ments, shield their most worthy acts from publicity, and try in every man' ner possible to dodge the representa tive of the press, in hopes that they will smother some particular piece of- news. Yet they are ever ready to proclaim their disgust for the dullness of the papers they read; they expect pub lishers to find news which they them selves hold up; they swear at the distorted facts concerning their ac tions, which ten words from them would have made straight. Remember, always, that the people make the news; the people create the subjects that form the foundation for news columns; if they hide these things, or refuse to be interviewed, and allow wrong impressions to gain publicity, It is their own fault, for they held the key to the situation. To make the press what it should be, the true representative of the peo ple and their activities, the people must tell the Inside facts, for the press, like the assessor, Is forbidden to look into your personal accounts. The following from the Baltimore American Is so pertinent that the temptation to repeat it is irrisistible: A Man had a piece of News. A Reporter heard of it. Tho Reporter called on the Man. And asked him about the News. The Man played Balloon with the Reporter. He swelled noticeably and said: "You Fellows never get Anything right. So I won't tell you." The Reporter did not get angry. He knew the Man was a Fool. Ho had seen Them before. He knew the real facts could be had from no one else. Yet the Reporter did the very Best he could to get at tho Truth. And published tho story as lie got it. Then the Man who had refused to give the Facts, arose early nnd bought a Paper to see If the facts were ills torted. They wore. And he said: "I told you so." Query With whom should the Public yearn to get even the Report er, who did his best, or the arrogant Fool, who deliberately refused to help him? IS A CENTURY TOO MUCH 7 OF UNTOLD VALUE. Many centenarians, many minds. Scarcely two agree as to the manner of life that brings wealth of years Mrs. Olive Cleveland, of Onondaga countv. tl iff era from nil. Instead of I telling how she has lived 102 years I she tells why she doesn't care to live , 103. This Is her complaint: "After vou havo lived 100 years you have aches and pains you nover had before. You begin to lose your memory, you can't see distinctly and you can't hear. You forget how your friends look ami you miss the sounds of their voices. You seem to be in another world. You know there Is much going on of which you are not aware, and yet you can't help It." It is pathetic this way of looking at the five score years. But It won't be convincing to tho Hundred-Year Club. A contrary view is that of Banker Llvermore, of New Jersey, who thanks heaven for a hundred years and hopes for ten more; of Darius Drake, in Connecticut, who finds at the cen tury' mark his life still "a ministry of love;" of Pope Irfo. who, when a vis itor wished him a hundred years, asked with assumed sternness. "Would you limit the decrees of Providence?" New York World. Such Delicious Coffee It it not the coffee it It the Cream.

I was then living In Pueblo, Colo., and told him that after suffering for four or flvo years with backache and other consequences of either weaken ed or excited kidneys, I went to my druggist in Pueblo for Doan'a Kidney pills and took a course of treatment. They cured me, and cured me quick ly. Since then I havo not had the slightest symptom of a recurrence. I have recommended them to a number of friends and acquaintances and told them If they did not cure them they could return the box to me. and I would pay them for them. No one ever came back with a box, so 1 know they were cured." For salo by all dealers. Price B0 crata. Foater-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y sole agents for the United States.

Milwaukee, Wis., is one of the young women whom Wine or Car dui has rescued from a life of sufferinir. She writes: "Wiue of Cardui is certainly 'worn out' women's best friend and I am pleased to give my experience with It. A few months ago I caught a severe cold, hav ing been out in inclement weather, which settled all over me, particularly in the abdomen. I was in almost constant pain. I consulted a physician and took his medicine fot a month and without any relief. I then decided I would try your medicine and it was a lucky day for me when I did so. I noticed a change in a few days and felt encouraged to continue taking Wine of Cardui, and my patience was rewarded, for in two weeks my pains had left me and I felt like a new woman." Mri iftlma Jltau. The woman who has suf- ered from female Weakness should do anything within reason to secure health. Wine of Cardui is the medi cine that appeals to reasona ble women women who hold operations and cutting in horror women wkoknow that Nature is the best phy sician Wine of Cardui gives women back their health by L'iviiur Nature a chance to build up tho wasted and dis eased tissue. Wino of Cardui regulates the menstrual flow and Nature, when relieved of tho drains or of the poisons in the system, makes tho functional organs strong and healthy again. Any woman who is silently suffering untold pains because she is too sensitive to undergo a physician's examination and treatment can find no excuse for not securing relief when AVine of Car dui is offered to her. There is nopub licity to deter her. She can take Wine of Cardui in the privacy of her home, with as much assurance of a final cure as though a dozen doctors recommended it. Many physicians do recommend Wine of Cardui to their patients. Why not get a $1.00 bottle of Wine of Cardui from your druggist today? New..
