The greatest problem before the
American people, as President Roose
velt said at Clark University last
June, is the problem of "getting Jus

the reason the task is so difficult Is
because, as Mr. Gladstone once point

one Just man. And too many, think
lavish or beneficent use of money,
however acquired, atones for evil in
the getting of it
Canadians are in the habit of speak
ing with some loftiness of the greater
sureness and celerity of Justice in the
dominion as compared with the United
States. The circumstance that Messrs.
Gaynor and Greene wero enabled for
four years to resist extradition by vir
tue of Canadian legal technicalities is
likely to be cited hereafter when our
friends on the north begin to sound
the praises of Canadian Justice.- Gay
nor and Greene, It may be remember
ed, had $2,000,000 in cash with them
when they went to Canada.

when ranged alongside the value of
crops which the tillers of the soil place
on the world's markets. Last year
the combined value of the wheat, cot
ton and corn crops was approximately
$2,500,000,000. Added to this was the
hay crop, valued at more than $500,
000,000; the oats crop, worth half as
much; a yield of potatoes representing
8130,000,000, besides barley, tobacco
and rye and flaxseed crops aggregat
ing $135,000,000 more. All things con
sidered which are taken into account
in estimating the products of the soil,
the total contribution of the farmers to
the nation's wealth in 1904 approxi
mated $5,000,000,000.
Not long ago, says a well-known
university graduate, at)' old New Eng
land preparatory school found Itself
so overcrowded that its income would
not meet expenses. It was proposed
to raise the tuition, a measure that
would have solved the financial diffi
culty, but would have shut out boys
of limited means, such as before had
been able to work their way through,
and were now among the best gradu
ates of the school. The cry went out
to Increase the endowment for the
sake of the poor boys. "I shall re
spond," said one rich graduate, who
had a growing family, "not so much on
the poor boys account as to try to
save alive at least one school where
A rich man's son can get to know some
boys who are not exactly in the same
general eese as himself. I don't want '
my boys to go to school and then
to college with the same lot of mates,
and come to grown-up years thinking
that their Mud 1 the only kind worth
knowing."
' George Bancroft, the historian. In an
early diary, recently published, tells
a story of a German Udy whose father
sent her through the university In an
age when few women were privileged
to receive a scholar's education. Ban
croft, a boy of eighteen, reflects the
spirit of the early years of the last
ceutury in this naive comment: "In
her character and conversation she Is
Irreproachable, and from a ' long ac
quaintance with her, I am toM, one
woukl never hear from her a word
that would betray hor learning." This
grave young gentleman a free-born
American, too admired the lady for
not betraying what was best in her
mind. No wonder that at almost the
same time Jane Austen, with flue, gen
tle irony, apologises for a heroine who
blushed at her ignorance; "Where
people wish to attach," she writes,
"they should always be Ignorant To
come with a well-informed mind Is tc
come with an Inability of administer
ing to the vanity of others, which a
sensible person would always wish to
avoid. A woman especially. If whe
have the misfortune of knowing any
thing, should conceal It as well as she
can." If modern woman bad nothing
else to rejoice in, she could at least
congratulate herself that the sting has
gone out of such words as "blue
stocking," that a man is no longer
ashamed to have his daughter or hit
wife learned, and that the display ot
learning in a woman is limited only
by the same good taste, modesty and
choice of occasion which limit a sim
ilar display In a man.
In his address of welcome at the one
hundred and fifty-second opening of
Columbia university, President Nicho
las Murray Butler took occasion to
point out the forcible Illustrations
now being afforded the rising genera
tion of the difference between- repu
tation and character. The American
people are receiving some painful lea
sons in practical ethics, as President
Butler says, and of late we have been
watching reputations "melt away like
snow before the sun.M President But
ler bad In mind, of course, the insur
ance scandals. There has, indeed,
been matter brought to light to make
an honest man blush. Hamilton W.
Mable. another American, whose pat
riotism and cleanliness of thought none
will deny, even though he may not
rank as financier, has Just returned
from Europe. Current scandals In
commercial life, he says, are the talk
of the hour in Europe and it is a
matter ot shame to any American to
hear his couatrymen referred to as
swindlers and sharpers. Mr. Mabls
fears that our business prospects and
the respect in which our financiers
have heretofore been held have been
changed. To-day in England, Ger
many and France the American, when
finance is discussed, must be prepared
to meet the faint smile and quiet sneer
of contempt This Is a penalty we
have to pay for the wrong-doing of the
big men of the American money world,
who have long abused confidence re
posed in them and managed their
trusts for their own profits rather than
for the benefits of the people they rep
resented. It will not do, however, to
take a too hopeless view of this sit
uation. America has no monopoly of
crookedness In finance. It is true that
It Is hard to recall a time when In
foreign affairs so many names of
prominence were besmirched as in the
present New York disclosures, but
England has had Its Hooleys of recent
date, and as for France, It Is the last
one entitled to set up as critic. Prin
cipally, however, the saving feature
is American public opinion. No man
can for a moment doubt that the peo
ple of our country are right If men
who have sat In high places must fall.
If family names long honored must
have the stain of thievery put on them,
If reputations must be punctured
through and through with graft and
deceit, It is better it should all com
at once. And it must be noted that
public opinion Is not in favor of spar
ing any one, but clamors rather for
full exposition of all the Iniquity and
the throwing out of the grafters and
thieves.

SOKES
Whenever a sore or ulcer does wot heal, bo matter on what part of th
body It nsny be, It is because of a poisoned condition of the blood.. Thl
poison nsny be the remains of some constitutional troubles the effect ot a
long spell of sickness, which lias left this vital stream polluted ana weak,
or because the natural refuse matter of the body, which should pass off
through the channels of nature, has been left iu the system and absorbed
into the circulation. It docs not matter how the poison became intrenched
In the blood, the fact thnt the sore is there and doc not heal is evidence of
a deep, underlying cause. There is nothing- that causes mote discomfort,
worry and anxiety than a festering-, discharging old sore that resists treat
went. The very sight ot It is abhorrent and suggests pollution ami disease
besides the time and attention required to keep it clean and free from other
infection. As it lingers, slowly eating- deeper iuto the surrounding flesh, the
sufferer grows morbidly anxious, fearing- it way, be cancerous. Soma
of those atllictcd with an old sore or -... v. . . mrt.A .n n.

Through the vse of these they have
teen the place begin to heal and scab
over, and were congratulating them
selves that they would soon be rid of
the detestable thing, when a fresh
supolv ot roison - from the blood
would cause the inflammation and old discharge to return and the sore would
be as bad or worse than before. Sores that do not heal are not due to out
side causes; if they were, external treatment would car them. They ara
kept open because the blood is steeped in poison, which finds an outlet
through these places. While young people, and even children, sometimes
suffer with non-healing sores, those most usually afflicted are persons-past
middle life. Often, with them, a wart or mole on the face inflames and be
gins to ulcerate from a little rough handling : or a deep, offensive ulcer de
velops from a slight cut or bruise. Their vital energies and powers of re

the best eismpl of such a baking pow
