Morgan's Best Legacy .
Mr. Morgan's will disposed of
great possessions and of works
of art of importance and im
mense money value, in the dis
position of which all the world
was interested. It was a very
long will. The nev .-paper
printed it all; but the paragraph
which they fuur.d the most in
teresting, and emphasized in
headlines and put at the tup of
the column, was that with which
the will begins:
“I commit my >oul into the
hands of my Saviour, in full con
fidence that, having redeemed
it and washed it in His most
precious blood. He will present it
faultless before the throne of
my Heavenly Father; and I en
treat my children to maintain
and defend at all hazard and at
any cost of personal sacrifice, the
blessed doctrine of the complete
atonement for sin through the
blood of Jesus Christ, once offer
ed, and through that alone.”
It would be a good wav to get
another war started between the
United State- and Mexico. —
Denison Herald. «■
Tne idea is not new with the
people of several of the north
western states of Mexico. In
fact, it was to some extent stat
ed with more or less seriousness
by the more intelligent class of
the Mexican people before Diaz
stepped in and put a stop to the
continually occurring disorders.
It was rife about the time Texas
seceded and for several years ai
terward. The contrast between
peaceful conditons in the Lnited
States and a chaotic condition of
strife and bloodshed in thir own
country was so marked that even
the not very far sighted Mexi
cans were able to discern it and.
discerning it. they longed, tor
the same. At ^ome time in the
future the idea, or dream, or
whatever it is. may eventuate
into a practical reality. There
will be a movement like that
which ended with the freedom
of Texas, and then—there will
be an increase of the territory
of the United States. It is man
ifest destiny. —Fort Smith

Immigration.
President J. J. Hill's sugges
tion that congress, at the close
of the present session, adjourn
for ten years, might be a wise
one if some way could be arrang
ed to have the representation re
duced to about one-tenth of what
it is at the present time, when
the law-making bodies reassem
ble. There will be little sympa
thy, however, with his complaint
that our law-makers are keeping
immigrants out of the country,
and preventing the development
of our natural resources. As a
matter of fact we are not fever
ishly hankering for immigration,
and are content to abide the nat
ural increase of our own people.
The Hills and other owners of
large properties seek immigra
tion because they know that the
more people there are in the
country the more valuable will
become their holdings.
We can develop our country by
our own people, and in our own
good time. There is no great
rush about it. The American
people are developers, and they
would prefer to conserve their
natural wealth for their chil
dren. and the children of coming
generations, rather than adopt
the policy of Big Business, and
exploit it today and at the pres
ent time, so that there may be
nothing for the American of the
future.
Mr. Hill owns vast tracts of
land and long lines of railroads,
and these are enhanced in value
by a growing and an increased
The papers were entirely right
jn their estimate. That was the
most interesting clause in Mr.
Morgan’s will, and more than
that, it was the most valuable
legacy he bequeathed to the gen
Jof men that is to follow
It contains the pith of
iristian faith. What it
n be expressed, no doubt,
r words that would carry
the same significance. But
these words are comprehensive
and exact. They declare the ba
sis of the testator’s whole cha
acter—the basis, moreover, of all
the best and noblest and most
useful characters that have de
veloped in this world in the last
tv/o thousand years.
To have a man of Mr. Morgan's
kind and size and prestige de
clare humbly and in such con
vincing words his profound con
fidence in the faith in which he
lived, was crowning service of
inestimable value to mankind.—

New Marriage Ceremony.
Elder F. M. Rice and Miss No
va Paden. both of Salem, sur
prised their friends by marrying
last Saturday afternoon. The
ceremony took place on the bank
of the South Fork river and was
performed by Elder Albert Hal,,
the birds of the air the only wit
nesses. one of which reported to
us. Said birdling says the min
ister performed something like
this while addressing Brother
Rice: "Wilt thou take her for
thy pard.for better or for worse:
to have, to hold, to fondly guard,
till hauled off in a hearse ? "W ut
thou let her have her way. con
sult her wishes, wash the dishes
and make the tires three times a
day ? Will t-hou give her all the
money her little purse can pack:
buy her an auto, a boa. a muff, a
real sealskin sack?" And his
face grew pale and blank: but
'twas too late to j lit: as upon
the grassy bank he sank he sad
ly said. “I wilt.” Elder and Mrs
Rice are among the most prom
inent and most highly respected
people of Salem and we join then
many friends in wishing them s
long and pleasant journey to
gether.—Mammoth Spring Dem

Foreign Merchants Complaii
About Short Postage.
Washington. D. C.. May 6.—
- The Department of Commerce i;
receiving complaints in increas

short postage on letters receiv
ed from the United States
These foreign merchants ave:
that the double postage whicr
they are required to pay on let
ters from America is so annoy
ing that it turns much trade a
way from our country. .
Commercial Agent Thompsor
writes to the Department frorr
Marseilles that the large Frencl
importers report that about on;
half of the American corres
pondence comes with only z
i two-cent stamp affixed. Thu;
an unfavorable impression i;
created. The rate on letters t<
France is five cents for the firsi
ounce or fraction of an ounce
and three cents for each addi
tional ounce or fraction thereof
A mercantile firm at Bueno;

receipt of so many letters froir

to the American consul there
:**We suppose this is due to <
worn? interpretation of the pos
tal rates genefal among th«
j commercial circles of your eoun
' try. In view of the enormou
increase in commercial exchange
with the country you represent,
we reccommend that you take
the necessary measures to cor
rect this deficiency, which will
, not develop commerce with Ar
gentina.”
Similar complaints have reach
the Department from Africa.
Australia and many other parts
of the world, and the statement
is usually added that short-paid
letters from the United States
are beginning to be refused.
It has been suggested that the
simple device of using a special
colored envelope for foreign let
ters would prevent the oversight
of short postage. Many firms
have already adopted this meth
od with success.

ache and was also subject to
dizzy spells. The kidney secre

as I began their use and no one
