And again someone will venture the sug gestion as to which nation buys more goods from the United States when the question of sympathy is under discussion. But laying aside all sentiment for the "under dog," and the more prevalent sentiment of com mercial advantage, it may be well enough for we of this big nation to remember that the worst of crimes is ingratitude, and that if ever one nation has proved itself a friend to another, Russia has so proved itself to the United States, thrice saving us from threatened destruction in days of gloom and trouble. Russia stands as the traditional friend of America from the verybeginning. Duringthe revolutionary war, when George III was hiring mercenary troops from every nation that would rent them out to him for the purpose of crushing the American colonies, he applied to Russia, among others, for soldiers.

In his speech in the United States senate, on February 8, Senator Fulton predicted that President Roosevelt would receive the greatest majority this year ever given a presidential candidate. Senator Fulton's predio tiou came at the conclusion of a reply to Senator Carmack, of Tennessee. who had severely arraigned the presi dent for his attitude toward the Bo gota government in recognizing the independence of the new republic of Panama." Senator Fulton's address, which appears in full in the Con gressional Record, was concluded as follows ; Mr. President, I do not think the President of the United States requires any defense at my hands because of the position he has assumed in our relations with the republics of Panama and Colombia. He certainly does not require any defense from me, and if he were wanting a defender, he would not call upon me. Yet, as I have said before, I have no apologies to offer for any position he has taken or for any attitude he has assumed in . our re- lations with those republics. Many severe criticisms have been passed on our president during the course of this discussion. We hav heard a very severe castigation ad ministered to him today by the very able and eloquent senator who pre ceded me in the discussion (Mr. Car mack) ; but, Mr. President, whatever may be the political future of the present occupant of the White House, whether he shall be called again by the people of this nation to preside as their chief executive, he will go down in history as one of the greatest, one or the purest, and one of the most patriotic men that has ever occupied the high office of president of the United States. He will have many great achievements to his credit: but, in my judgment, the one upon which his fame his enduring fame will rest more than upon all others will be the high patriotic duty he performed and the service he rendered this nation in assuring to it and to the civilized world the . construction of a canal acm th isthmus ot Panama. Mr. President, during this dis. cussion a number of senators on the other side, and I do not know but most of them, have spoken in kindly, even eulogistic words of the lamented McKinley. I listened to those words of kindness spoken of him with the greatest interest and pleasure, because they were spoken of one whom I have ever honored, reverenced and loved, But I could not help remembering that it had not always been so. Roose velt is the tyrant, the Napoleon of to day, but it was only a few short months ago when McKinley was de nounced in one breath as a weak, willing and pliant tool of designing men, and in another breath as a wick ed tyrant, who was engaged in the business of oppressing a weak, an un fortunate and defenseless people. But, sir, all those things have passed away. McKinley has gone to his last account; the smoke and dust of partisan strife have cleared away, and through a clearer vision it is seen that McKinley, instead of havingbeen a tyrant, was a great, noble, heroic soul, and that the people, whom it was charged he was oppressing, are today, under the policies inaugurated by him, enjoying a higher prosperity and greater tranquility, public and private, than they ever painted or pictured for themselves in their wildest dreams. I do not speak of this in any spirit of unkindness, Mr. President, but cannot but think, nor can I refrain from expressing the thought, how pleasing to him it would'have been if, when surrounded by all these per plexing questions, when weighed down by the terrible sense of respons ibility that these questions imposed, some of these beautiful sayings and kind expressions in his behalf might have been uttered. Mr. President, I sat here the other day and listened to a great speech by a great senator on the other side of the chamber, a gentleman to whom I alwaj'9 listen with interest and usually witn pront, out on tnat day ne gave utterance to a sentiment that I could wish he had failed to utter. I would not refer to it were it not for the fact that I have heard the same state ment made here and elsewhere a number of times. In referring to the present president and the probability of his nomination to the presidency this year he spoke of him as the man whom everybody is for and nobody wants. Does the senator mean to tell us that all sincerity has gone out of the land and departed from the peo ple? What means this universal voice that is going up from the re publican hosts all over the land? Do they not mean what they say, and do they not say what they mean?

Do you suppose that those men did not mean what they said or that they' did not say what they meant? The other day there was in this city an assembly of the leading editors of representative newspapers of the United States strong men, inde pendent men, the men who do more than all others toward molding and making public sentiment in this country, -JThey resolved in favor of Theodore Roosevelt for president the next time. Did they not mean what they said? Did they not say what they meant? What is meant by this statement that everybody is for him and nobody wants him when men of that character and organizations of that character tell the world that he is their choice for the presidency? Let me tell you, sir, if you have any doubt whom the people are for or who their choice is, go down and ask the laboring men of this or any other city. Go ask the hewers of wood and the drawers of water whom they are in favor of, and they will tell you, and the name they will give you is Roose velt. Go down in the anthracite coal regions and ask the men who labor there, whom they favor. They will tell you, and the name they will give you is Roosevelt. Go down among the dwellers in the tenement houses-of the great cities of this country and ask them they were threatened only a few short months ago with inde scribable suffering because of a short age in the fuel supply. Ask them who it was that came to their relief, who had the courage to bring the contending forces together, and to see that justice was dealt out to both sides and the country was saved the cruelty and suffering that would have been upon it but for that action. Ask them who did it, and ask them whom they are for and whom they want to see elected to the presidony. They will tell you, and the nu&vi will be Roosevelt. And if vou are itf ! in doubt, -waii, until ill jjvlalfci?

Salt pork is good if a man can stomach it. I he idea behind it is that fat is the bod the consumptive needs most. Scott's Emulsion is the mod ern method of feeding fat to the consumptive. Pork is too rough for sensitive stomachs. Scott's Emulsion is the most refined of fats, especially prepared for easy digestion. Feeding him fat in this way, which is often the only way, is halt the battle, but Scott's Emulsion does more than that. There is' some thing about the combination of cod liver oil and hypophos- hites in Scott's Emulsion that puts new life into the weak parts and has a special action on the diseased lungs.

"Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy." This is the fourth command ment. It has well been called "a bridge across life's troubled waters over which we may pass to reach the opposite shore a link between earth and heaven a type of the eternal day, when the freed spirit, if true to itself and to God, shall put on forever the robe of immortal holiness and joy." There has been an awful lotting- down in this country regarding the Sabbath, and many a man, like Sam son, has been shorn of his power be cause he is not straight on this Sab bath question. I honestly believe that this commandment Is just as binding today as it ever was. It will be the ruin of this Nation if we give up the Sabbath. Men seem to think they have a right to change the holy day into a holiday. We believe that the Sabbath question today is a vital question for the whole country. . If you give up the Sabbath, the church goes; if you give up the church, the home goes, and if the home goes, the Nation goes. Is not this the direction in which we are traveling? You want power, do you? You want the old Pentecostal power? You want the dew of heaven falling on your brow? You want to see men convicted and converted? Then, "Remember the Sabbath-day to keep it holy." First A Day of Rest. The word Sabbath comes from Shabbath, "a day of rest," or from Shabath, "to cease to do, to rest" This is the obvious and undoubted etymology. This name in the old Testament was applied to divers great festivals, but principally and usually to the seventh EXPERIENCE 13 THE EEST teacher Use Acker's English Remedy in any case of coughs, cold or croup.

The first scriptural notice of the weekly Sabbath is found in Gen. 2 :3, and hence it is frequently argued that the institution is as old as mankind, and is consequently of universal concern and obligation.

I think we as a rule forget the sacredncss of this day "the rest of the Holy Sabbath." lhose who have most worthily hal lowed the Lord s day have most en riched all other days. Voltaire said 'There is no hope of destroying the Christian religion as long as the Christian Sabbath is acknowledged and kept by men as a sacred day.' regard one of the great dangers which threaten the day is the use of it for purposes of worldly gain and pleasure. x hircl A Day of Worship. The best kind of Sabbath is a triangular Sabbath. Man has a three-fold nature- physical, mental and spiritual. The best Sabbath is the one that builds up a man in those three ways that rests his body, invigorates his mind, and ennobles his soul. Fourth A Day of Quiet. A day of meditation, closetcommunication with God, and Bible study. No sound of the chisel and hammer, and no rustling of wheels ; everything hushed in reverence before God. "Truly, my soul is silent before God; from him cometh my salvation." Fifth The Lord's Day. The Son of Man is Lord of all men and of all things that pertain to man's salva tion, therefore, he must of necessity bo Lord of the Sabbath. Is it not strange that the Sabbath should have enemies, when it is so manifestly de signed to promote man's well-being, instituted for his benefit, "made for man?" Sixth The Reward. The rewards of Sabbath observance are found in Isa. 50 :l-7 and 08 :13-14. A. A. W. Killed In a Runaway. Harry, the 12-year-old son of Mr. met with an accident that resulted in his death on Friday last, and the grief-stricken parents brought the body to McMinnville, where it was laid to rest in the Masonic cemetery on Tuesday.

Probably no other town in Oregon has made as rapid aud healthy growth iu proportion to its size as has the enterprising town of Falls City, Polk county. With the advent of the Dallas and Falls City railroad came new life and energy and the bncequietcountry village has grown into a lively little manufacturing town. Two big saw mills are in operation and give em ployment to a large number of men. The monthly payroll of these concerns amounts to many thousands of dollars, and the greater part of this money ia spent with the home merchants. The various lines of business are well rep resented, and the merchants are all enjoying a profitable patronage. Tho real estate market is lively, and much property has changed hands in the last few months. A system of water works for domestic and fire purposes is being considered by the town coun cil, and other public improvements are under way.
