HUGHES? A MAN SUCH IS PRESIDENTS
ARE MADE OF
It is passing good to come, do* and
again? for one cao't do it just as ooe
pleases? upon the report of a public
address that treats of vital topics, the
problems of the times, without deseed
ing once to platitudes. Anyone who
re.?ds th speech that Governor HugVs
made at Coicago on the occasion of
Washiest- n's birthday celebration
must reognize in it the indubitable
sign of a man and a statesman. Here
we And the very core of present-day
conditions lairl bare. There is no svl?
able wasted on moralizing or placing
his wi.-Jom on e?hibition through dl
agnosir.g what everybody understands
but he addresses himself directly to
the remedies. It is the speech of a
mac who is so familiar with his theme
that he can treat it ia masterful
s rokes. Aware of the worst in the sit
uation be is still the most hopeful of
meo, because he sees the way out and
is not afraid lest he get lost or fail.
No man has gone further into the evils
th t come to our free and easy system,
no man has made deeper discoveries of
wickedness in high places, more failure
w ere honor was thought to reside
than he. But this is how he comcs
back from th?t discovery:
"The country is morally sound. Its
standards of business were never high
er. The business men of the country
are for the mos: part honest men, rep
resenting fairly the moral standards of
the people. And never more than today
have they, taken as a whole, earnestly
desired that abuses shall be stopped,
thbt aa end shall be put to corrupt
dealings and unfair practices, that gam
bling sball not parade ia business liv
ery, and that American industry and
trade shall hive free scope for develop
ment. extension alo-g the lines of hon
est rivalry."
Does not this ring true as a founda
tion o build on? He continues:
"Pessimists cannot develop this coun
try. Wemuvthave confidence In the
stability of our institutions, in the san
ity of the people and in their realization
of what underlies our prosperity. We
-have only begun to develop the com
merce of this country. This is no
time for discouragement or baiting, but
for appreciation of American opportun
ity, and for that intelligent and united
effort by which alone we can avail of it
and deserve the blessings of prosperity.
' To support this confidence and to
gain these ends we must have a settled
governmental policy. And it must be a
right policy. It must be a policy con
sistent with the genius of our lnatitu
. V
"The people of this country do not
desire socialism even as an experiment
fbry d j not propose to pass through a
dre<ded 'quarter of an hour' of revolu
tionary changes to satisfy themselves
of tho*e imperfections of human nature
of which they are already well apprised
and which make impossible the consti
tution of society in accordance with the
socialist theory. We must make pro
jfrts-s and it must be steady and consis
tent, conserving with these ends and
safeguarding t ;e opportunities for bon
es: effort. Otherwise gains wiil be off
set by unnecessary losses and expert
accountants may search In vain for a
credit balance. We may accomplish
needed reforms bv making our institu
tions wo.-k as they we:e intended to
work, and by effecting by the light of
the benefits thus secured such changcs
as experience may cos mend and delib
erate judgment may approve."
In this last paragraph is the sum of
the situation. We have in this country
the machinery whereby to make aoy
kind of government we please. It is a
government of the people by the people.
If we wish to change the form we have
only to agree upon another and adopt
it. For this reason there is no room
lor the dyoamiter? not thu excuse
which so clever a man as Bernard Shaw
has found for him elsewhere. Here the
people rule ar.d if the rule is bad they
have only themselves to blame. The
machinery is here to prevent and cor
rect abuses if the people will insist up
I oo making it work. If their attempts
are futile then impatience is certain to
bring us that bad quarter of an hour
which will come in with socialism, and
which now the majority do n*)t want.
Of course it follows that if we cannot
make work the machinery we have we_
will not be able to make effective tbe
more cumbrous machinery of socia'ism
aid It will be a very disagreeable
quarter of an hour Indeed during the
readjustment. To make the m.chinery
of our government work as It was
Intended to work, parcelling out justice,
playing no favorites, the square deil
for all, every vote counted as cast, that
it the only sure road. And as Mr.
Bughes ssys, at no lime since Wash
ington was there less cau-.o for aoxiety,
because of the clear vision and the high
aim of those whom the people, in their
wisdom, have placed in charge. The
black hand element now making such a
demonstration in our country are hu
n ans who have been distraught and
distorted out of shapa by a different
environment, cne which almost justifies
their methods. Incapable now of real
izing what this cuuntry me&js, una'jle
or uawilling to share our conditiou of
freedom, they must be sent back whence
they came or otherwise subjected to
the severest penalties of a law framed
by tbe people for their own protection.

HUGHES
These are the product of our institu
tions and our institutions are safe under
the direction of their tried. And inas
much as there has been a continuous
line of their kind since Washington, we
need not fear that this generation is to
see the line extinguished
What can be said of that horror
which befell Cleveland yesterday?
There have been fires and fires, and
burnings? but oh, the burning of little
children in the mass, helpless, the doors
locked against their escape!
What Is to be said of the man res
ponsible for thoso locked doors? How
futile and inane the inquiry after? And
this in "the best governed city in the
world."
It is one of these unspeakable hap
oenings in the presence of which wo'ds
are ? mere words.
IDYL OF THE SNOW
By Mabel Vollintlne McGill.
la gulch the drifting snow is deep,
On ctbin roof heaped high it lies,
But 1 can rest with half closed eyes,
While wild wind slngeth me to sleep:
I hear It blow through the shivering
pines;
The b'igbt fire crackles on the hearth,
And 'gainst the smoky rafters shines
In startling, changing, weird designs.
Like goblins dance in reckless mirth.
My venison hangs against the wall,
My wood is piled beside the door,
My dog lies sleeping on the floor?
Ah, this were small if this were all!
But I have more ? one spirit true
Shares my delight in these wi'd ways,
And lonllness comes not near us two,
For faith is strong and life is new,
And love's the sun that lights our
days.

SCALY ERUPTIONS

ftched Constantly ? Scratched Until
Blood Flowed ? Suffered 10 Years
? Doctors and Medicines Were
Fruitless? Tries Cuticura and Is
Completely Cured
BY THREE BOXES OF
CUTICURA OINTMENT
"When I was about nino years old
?mall sores appeared on each of my
lower limbs, I scratched them with a
shortly afterwards
both of those limbs
became so sore that
I could scarcely
walk. When I had
been suffering for
about a month the
sores began to heal,
but small scaly
eruptions appeared
where the sores had
been. From that
time onward I was
troubled by sucji
severe itching that,
until I became
waiiM cr?ro t/>li Lhfl
Bores until the blood began to flow.
This would 6 top the itching for a few
days; but scaly plaoos would appear
again and the itching would accompany
tnem. After I suffered about ten years
I made a renewed effort to effect a cure.
The eruptions by this time had appeared
on everv part of my body except my
face ana hands. The best doctor in my
native county advised me to use arsenio
in small doses and a salve. I then used
to bathe the sores in a mixture which
give almost intolerable pain. In addi
on I used other remedies, such as iodino,
sulphur, zinc salvo, 's Salvo,
Ointment, and in fact I was con
tinually giving some remedy a fair trial,
never using leas than one or two boxes or
bottles. All this was fruitless. Finally
my hair began to fall out and I was rjipidly
becoming-bald. I used 's ,
but it did no good. A few months after,
having usod almost everything else, I
thought I would try Cuticura Ointment,
having previously used Cuticura Soap
"and being pleased with it. After using
threo boxes I was completely cured,
and my hair was restored, after fourteen
years of suffering and an expenditure of
at least $50 to $00 in vainly endeavoring
to find a cure. I shall be glad to write
to any one who may be interested in
my cure. B. Hiram Mattmgly, Ver
million, S. Dak., Aug. 18, 1900."
