The god of the whole gave a

To furred and feathered thing;
And 1 am my brother's keeper,
And I will fight his fight
And speak the word for beast

Till the world shall set things

BANK NOTES FOU EVERYBODY,

bunk of Issue fall. Will the govern

far?
TRAGEDY OF THE REDMEX.
If house resolution No. 23,017, In
troduced In congress on December 20.
1906, becomes a law, the national
bank Issue of the United States may
"be Increased without any addition to
the securities, In the sum of $320,165,
S41. This bill provides bank notes for
national banks In the form of guar
anteed credit notes, with no increased
responsibility on the banks. The gov
ernment takes the risk, primarily, al
though there is provided a sinking or
guarar.ty fund to meet expenses of the
Issue and losses through failure.
The bill provides that any national
' bank may issue guaranteed credit
notes not to exceed 37 H per cent of
Its capital, paying to the government
5 pr cent per annum on the first
issue of 2a per cent of its capital and
6 per cent on the issue of 12 H per
cent of Its capital. This increased
issue of money may be made without
Increasing the deposit of securities
with the government.
It is an expansion of the currency
without any increase in the redemp
tion fund.
This $320,165,641 of additional bank
notes may be termed a plain Inflation
of the currency without guaranteeing
the government. It is emergency law
to give the banks more money with
which to handle the growing business
of the country without the trouble of
buying additional bonds with which
to back up the issue.
The scheme would be convenient in
harvrt time, to be sure. The country
needs about $200,000,000 additional
during three months of the harvest
season. If this law passes congress,
1t will be possible for the banks to
meet the increased business demands
of the country without Increasing
their responsibilities.
The total national bank Issue of the
United States Is now $852,774,776.
This amount Is amply guaranteed by
fovemment bonds purchased by banks
with which to secure circulation. But
is it s-jfe and sound business policy
to Increase this sum by an additional
issue of $320,165,541 without a further.
guarantee to the government?
Suppose, during a few years of pros
perous times, banks should take ad
vantage of this law and Issue credit
notes In addition to their bona fide
circu'otion, up to the limit allowed.
What is there to guarantee the gov
ernment against enormous losses in
case of an epidemic of bank failures
resulting from a drop In prices and a
suspension of business In numerous
large centers'
If the business of the country de
mand this additional currency, should
not the national banks secure It In the
same way In which they have secured
the!r present circulation by furnish
ing security to the government?
A law permitting a 37 increase
In the national bank Issue, without
ecurlty, seems to be a rather haz
ardous venture. The law makes tho
government responsible to the hold-
The real tragedy of the filial acci
dent at the Viniitilla agency Sunday
morning was not In the death of five
diunken Indians in a burning jail
building.
It vjs In the wondering eyes of
the living Indians who surveyed the
giewsiime scene.
The white man brought whiskey to
the Indian, made him a beast, taught
him to wallow in the dirt a drunken
ar.lmal, and then the same white man
built jails in which to punish the In
dian for doing what the white man
taught him to do.
Al! these burning fads were seen In
the wondering eyes of the old men
and women who stood silently about
the charred remains of five of their
tribesman at the agency yesterday.
There was grim protest, accusation,
threatening. In the pent-up passion of
the friends and relatives of the dead
Indlsns.
Why did the white man poison the
Indian life with his whiskey? Then
why did the same white man punish
the Indian after poisoning him? Why
does the government permit white
men to sell whiskey to weak Indians
and then punish the Indian for buy
ing if Why is not the guilty white
man, who made the Indian drunk,
punished?
These questions were asked over
and over in the wondering minds of
the tribesmen yesterday, as they stood
beside the ruins of a miserable jail,
built by the government in which to
punish Indians for the white man's
sin.
The real tragedy of the situation
was in the groping minds of the living
Indians as they .ought to understand
in al); as they sought to conceive of
the munificent plan of government
which they must obey as children, yet
which permits their moral destruction
day by day, through the crime of
white men.
NEEDLESS TEARS.
( HOW ADVERTISING PAYS.
The author of the "Autobiography
of a Business Man," In the February
Everybody's, says;
"For a number of years I adver
tised only In my windows and in some
of the street cars, because I did not
feel that I could afford to advertise
In the dally papers. Two years ago
last September I was having a crav-
enette coat sale, and I succeeded In
selling for a couple of weeks about
50 coats n dny. I thought I would
try a column ad in one of the eve
ning papers.
'The next day this column ad ap
peared In one of the evening papers,
and, by the bye, it was not the one
tfiat had the largest circulation In
Chicago; I selected the paper that this
ad appeared In because they gave me
log rate, but they agreed to give
my ad a good position in the paper.
The result was that the next day the
sales, which had been about 50 coats
a day, jumped to 143, and In E0 days
I sold over 3500 raincoats.
"For the year following that sale
continued to advertise in this one
paper. Last fall I felt tnat I could
afford to Invest, say, about $6000 in
advertising in some of the other pa
pers. I used three morning papers
and three evening papers, the best In
Chicago.
'The results have been something
phenomenal. I did not have to Invest
$5000. The profits came back from
the newspaper advertising before thetr
bills came In, and I do not figure to
day that I have a dollar Invested In
advertising. In my opinion the only
way to advertise Is to give them plain.
common-sense talk. Tell them the
truth. Do not get a customer to come
to your store and find that you have
faked him, for that is poor advertis
ing, besides being dishonesty."
The Portland Sunday Oregonlan
sheds needless tears over the alleged
Buttering and deatn of livestock on
the ranges, through the failure of
owners to provide sufficient feed.
The Oregonlan is certainly not ac
quainted In the range districts. For
merly it was the custom to permit
horses to run on the ranges during
the long winter, but now they are too
valuable. A good horse is worth $100
In gold coin any day, on the Pacific
toast and no horseman thinks of per
mittlng them to paw snow for three
months In the struggle against starv
ation. Ample feed Is provided and
the best of care is taken of the horse
herds, in nearly every case.
Cattle and sheep are likewise well
provided for. Unless a sudden storm
comes early and catches these ani
mals away from the feeding grounds
there Is very little loss from starva
tion any more. They are too valuable.
The subject for real tears is the
overworked dray horse of Portland
and other large cities. There is real
suffering.
THE NIGHT EXPRESS.
There's light nt last in the sable mist,
And It hangs like a rising star
On the border line 'twixt earth and
sky
Where the rails run straight and far,
And deeply sounds from hill to- hill
In mighty monotone;
A distant voice a hoarse, wild note
With savage warning blown.
Tls the night express, and well 'tis
named.
For behold! from out of the night
It comes and darkly adown the rails
It looms to the startled sight
Larger, nearer, nearer yet
Till -at last there's a clang and a roar,
A wave of heat, a gleam of red,
From a closing furnace door;
Then the crash and shriek of the rush
ing train
And our hearts beat fast and high
When sudden and swift through the
shadowy mist
The night express goes by!
W. Hurd Hlllyer, in London Trade
Review.
OUR YESTERDAY.
Ah, why turn back life's blotted page
To dwell thereon In vain regret?
Better to turn the new page o'er
And strive to pay the old one's debt
By largesse of the living thought
That moves on glowing word and
deed,
Through pain and wrong and pathless
night.
Straight to the heart of other's
need:
Making of self Love's servant true,'
Who waits not for the clarion call,
Bat holds in an o'erflowing cup
Some drops of tenderness for all.
If lovingly, through each new day,
Swerveles8 we walk lire's nobler
ways,
Then, one by one, our God Bhall wipe
The stains from all our Yesterdays!

SUNSHINE OF YOU.
I have plodded the ways of this grimy
old world,
Mid the hives and the marts of the
millions hurled,
I have tasted Its sweets, I have supped
of its gall,
And I've lingered and dreamed where
the rose petals fall;
have bent to its hopes and many
have failed
At the fates that befell me I've ang
ered and railed;
But what do they matter, lost hopes
and the rue,
So long as the heart knows the sun
shine of you?
Will F. Griffin.
BE TRUE.
Thou must be ttue thyself,
If thou the truth would teach;
Thy soul must overflow If thou
Another's soul wouldst reach:
It needr tho overflow of heart
To give the lips full speech.
Think truly, and thy thoughts
Shall the world's famine feed;
Speak truly, and such word of thine
Shall be a fruitful seed;
Live truly and thy life shall be
A great and noble creed.

HEALTH OF WOMEN
In this nineteenth oentury to keep
up with the march of progress every
power of woman la strained to iU
utmost, and the tax upon her physi
cal system Is far greater than ever.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers few drugs were
used in medloines. They relied upon
roots and herbs to cure weaknesses
and disease, and their knowledge of
roots and herbs was far greater
than that of women today.
It was In this study of roots and
herbs that Lydla E. Pinkham, of
Lynn, Mass., discovered and gave
to the women of the world a remedy
more no tent and efficacious than
MHi.t.t.r I IN IS any combination of drugs.
Lydia E.Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
is an honest, tried and truejremedy of unquestionable therapeutic value.
This medicine made from native roots and herbs contains no narcotics
or other harmful drugs and today holds the record for the largest number
of actual eures of female diseases of any medicine the world has ever
known, and thousands of voluntary testimonials are on file in the
laboratory at Lynn, Mass., which testify to its wonderful value.
Mrs. C. E. Fink, of Carnegie, Pa., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I
wish every suffering woman would take Lydia E. Plnkhamfs Vegetable
Compound and write to you for advioe. It has done me a world of good
and what it has accomplished for me I know it will do for others.'
When women are troubled with Irregularities, Displacements, Ulcer
ation, Inflammation, Backache, Nervous Prostration, they should re
member there is one tried and true remedy, Lydia E, Pinkbam's Vege
table Compound. . .

Women suffering from any form of female weakness are Invited to

perience she probably has the very knowledge that will help your case.
