The surest way to induce repentance

ning. ..
That kind of life is most happy
which enables one to be most un
selfish.

- It looks like Taft and Cortelyou
another evidence that the corporation
tapper must be recognized.
The Innocence of the candidate is
proven by tho way he believes the
voters when they talk to him.
The meeting of the governors at
Washington is hailed by a newspaper
in New York' as evidence that this
country is at last a nation and no long
er a confederation of states. There
never was any doubt about the nation.
But the meeting of the governors af
fords the clearest evidence that this
is still a union of states, and far from
such a centralization of government
as the doctrinaries of a new federalism
would like to make it.
- And still the rumor persists of a
cutting of finished steel prices, but
' the official price of steel rails still
-stands $28 per ton. The number of
idle freight cars at the end of April,
according to the report of the Amer

338 an increase for the month of
105,239. . Exports have fallen away.
Gold is going out. - Something must
e done to set the wheels in motion.
A cut in prices is a much more feasi
ble move than a cut in wages.
: The honey locust and the black
locust and the pecan and the oak and

are not in full leaf yet. It "will take at
least a week more of good weather to
bring them into full leaf. The other
trees are pretty well leafed out, and
they are so fresh and clean! How
pretty the trees do look these days.
Here's hoping that tomorrow will be
a pretty day, so that our people can
get put into the parks again and. enjoy
them to the full. We are going to
make' this the prettiest town in the
Mississippi valley, and the people of
Rock Island are going to be a unit in
this program. . . .
Lowell Courier Citizen: Several vice
presidents - have become presidents
through the unfortunate death of the
chief executive, and so great is the
strain of the highest position in the
government, and so many the dangers
attending it, that any vice president
1 must hold himself in readiness to take
the reins of government at short no
tice, or without warning. The vice
president is, in fact the understudy
for the greatest character in the na
tional drama, and no matter whether
' or not he is ever called upon to fill
the role, he should be a man of ster
ling character, of great capacity, of
proven worth. The vice president may
appear to be little more than a figure
head in political life, but he Is really
one of the important safeguards of the
nation's security and prosperity.
That Karly Adjournment.
The republican leaders are deter
mined on an early adjournment of con
Kress, and - have, tentatively agreed
upon May 3, but the controversy be
tween the president and congress over
the control of the army has become
acute. In the senate, on the 12 inst.,
Senator Rayner of Maryland read a
letter relating to the punishment in
flicted on Colonel Stewart of the reg
ular army, without a trial, and made
a fierce attack on the president, charg
ing him with usurpation and the sub
stitution ,of martial law in the place of
the constitution and the laws of the
land. This Mr. Rayner characterized
s military despotism. Senator Fora-
ker gave notice that he would speak
again on the Brownsville affair within
a day or two. ..' "; v
The letter of the president to Sena
tors Stewart of Vermont and Smith of
Michigan, in which he declared him
self supreme over the army and navy
without any regard to any law of con
gress, will probably be; placed in . the
congressional record before the debate
loses, and may result in action by the
senate, which would postpone the ad
Journment of congress. . '"" " "v
."The much, amended currency bill will
be discussed in the .house In a day or
two.' and will probably be passed prac
tically ag agreed upon at the republi
can conference. It may . be. called a
purely inflation measure with the gov
ernment guaranty of the notes, and
will undoubtedly Involve the treasury
in endless trouble in the future, as all ;
makeshift financial measures do. Thero
are two reasons .for passing-it at this
late day; first, because this republican
congress must show it has done some-'
thing; and. second, because, the ;Wal
street bankers are demanding this in
flation. . : " '
.The principal reform legislation that
the democrats have been fighting for
is all to be neglected, Including the
repeal of the tariff tax on wood pulp
and print paper, and the bill to pre
vent political corruption by the publi
cation of campaign expenses of all
parties. The measures recommended
by president Roosevelt for the amend
ment the anti-trust law, to limit in
junctions against labor unions, and al
low railroads to combine and pool,
have not even been reported from com
mittees. . ' . ' " ; '
. The . remarkable thing about this
early adjournment is that, although
the president's program of reforms is
almost entirely rejected, yet tt appears
that he is willing to see congress ad
journ without further effort to force
congress to consider those reform
measures. .... .
In consequence of-this practically do
nothing congress, a large" number of
republican congressmen will wend their
way home with but little heart to facp
their outraged constituents, especially
those whose districts . are close . and
doubtful. Many of these already see
their democratic opponents' look of
delight at the standpat policy these
republican members have endorsed and
voted for; the gag rules adopted to
prevent the democrats from discussing
and amending measures, and with all
that, the lack of practical legislation.
The democrats have worked together
as one man under their able leader,
John Sharp Williams, whose constant
victories in debate over all the repub
lican leaders has united the democrats
in their legislative program without a
hitch. The officials of the National
Prosperity association have been here
soliciting the help of the president in
their effort "to keep the dinner pail
full, to keep the pay cargolng, to keep
the factory busy, to keep the workmen
employed, to keep the present wages
up."
This excellent and fetching program
appealed to the president, and he eag
erly endorsed it. The Prosperity asso
ciation is backed by the money of the
railroads, and its literature declares
"our prosperity came with the pros
perity of the railroads; it- declined
when adversity struck the . railroads.
We do not believe we can have the
full measure of prosperity again until
the railroads are prosperous."
This quotation is most interesting in
view of the fact that the railroads arc
making arrangements for a sweeping
advance in rates, and they badly need
some public opinion on their side and
have taken the faith cure method of
securing, it . Look .op" the , bright- side
of things, they tell us, and have faith
m the future,' and "the pay car willl
keep going" If the railroads are en
dorsed in increasing their rates. Per
haps increasing railroad rates will pro
duce prosperity, "but whether the peo
ple, by paying this assessment of some
hundreds of millions, will want pros
perity by that route is doubtful. It is
disagreeable to turn a deaf ear to such
a beautiful plea as the Prosperity asso
ciation suggests; but one cannot help
suggesting that perhaps if the railroads
would reduce rates, the wheels of In
dustry might move the faster. There
is nothing like low rates to foster bus
iness and keep the idle cars moving.
It is said that the president's change
of heart on the subject of railroad rates
and the labor legislation proposed, by
him in so many spectacular messages
to congress was produced by the re
ceipt of thousands of telegrams from
members of the Manufacturers' asso
ciation, of which the virile Mr. Van
Cleave is the leading spirit. If the
manufacturers openly threatened to
bolt the g. o. p. and cut off its supplies
of boodle for the corruption of the
floating vote this year, no wonder that
Mr. Roosevelt was silenced.
Perhaps that is why he is now will
ing to forego anti-injunction bills, pros
ecution of railroads, and running amuck
after corporations, until the republican
dough-bags are replenished again.

GREATSKIN CURE STIRS EUROPE
Medical Profession Interested in Ex
ternal Wash Which is Producing
Remarkable Results.
Instant relief and permanent cures
have so invariably fojlowed the use of
an American prescription for the cure
of. skin fdiseases that European1 doc
tors, always zealous to lead In fields
of medical knowledge, are still direct
ing inquiries as to tho ingredients of
this external vegetable remedy.
The makers of the prescription, the
D. D. D. company of Chicago, are re
inlying frankly to such European Inqui
ries that this eczema remedy is simply
oil of wintergreen compounded with
other vegetable ingredients of known
healing power such as thymol and
glycerine.
Apparently no case of no, matter
how long .standing can stand against
this simple remedy, known as D. D. D.
prescription. Here is a typical letter
from Mrs. E. Payne of EasUPittsburg,
Pa: "I had a horrible breaking out on
my legs and feet and tried nearly all
medicines and salves without result.
The first bottle of D. D. D. helped me
and I secured a complete cure. That
was two years ago and I have had no
trouble since."
We have investigated the merits of
D. D. D. prescription and believe it to
be the best and quickest cure for skin
diseases. . At any rate, we positively
know that it takes away the itch just
as so6n as you apply a few drops of
the soothing liquid. Call for free
booklet on care and nutrition of the
skin and ask for a cake of D. D. D.
soap.

SljeIrgus Daily Short Story
, "Her May Morning."- By Cecily Allen.
(Copyrighted. 1908, by the Associated Literary Press.)
The world said Eleanor Carey would j
never marry again. Her first matri
monial experience had not been strewn
with roses, though money for their
purchase had not been lacking. And
the events of her widowhood had been
enough to turn any woman hard, ryn
ical and unromantic.
Not that Eleanor Carey looked cither
hard or inibittered as she presided
over Mrs. l)e Witt Smith's tea table
one balmy April afternoon. Robed In
soft, clinging topaz colored silk, with
heavj incrustations of lace the famed
Carey laces she looked not a day older
than the daughter of the household
who was "that day making her social
debut. And. indeed. In point of years
the fair debutante had little advantage
over the fairer widow whose coining
out had been followed almost directly
by her marriage with Henry Carey, re
tired broker, multimillionaire and con
firmed bachelor.
Younger men had envied the fishy
eyed groom. Older women had envied
the radiant bride who rumor said had
acquiesced smilingly In her bold sale
in the matrimonial market.
' ThaK she had paid the price of fami
ly honor and her father's good name
with outward calm and inward revul
sion was something Dame Grundy nev
er guessed.
Her reward came sooner than she
had dared to hone. Henry Carey died
within a year of their marriage, and
then came what rumor said was enough
to harden any woman. Ghosts of Ca
rey's ugly past trouped forth after the
reading of the will. His first cousin
apparently well started on his elder rel
ative's downward path, first laid siege
to the . widow's heart and, being re
pulsed, then started the contest which
had made Eleanor's face familiar to ev
ery newspaper reader In America and
arraigned the dead man in all the bald
ness of money drunk eccentricities.
That any woman could lelieve in
any man after going through what
Eleanor Carey had gone through was
past even the belief of her own some
what cynical social set.
So far Eleanor's attorneys had held
out against the siege for the millions
left entirely to her. So far Eleanor
Carey had never been interviewed by
either public reporter or private friend.
She had simply -resumed her place in
society after laying aside her mourning
and let the legal and social tongues wag.
So it happened that three" men who
had come to pay their respects to Mrs.
De Witt Smith and her youngest
daughter lingered to play court to the
presiding genius at the tea table.
One of these was Dr. Dalton, a mac
who had won his spurs in the world of ,
medicine despite a large family fortune
and assured social position. -
The second. Jimmy Darnton. was a
newly made copper king from the north
west, whose family, well known In the
eastern social whirl, had sent him west
to be forgotten as the family ne'er-do-well
and were now only too glad to re
member him and receive him with
open arms. ;
Neither of these men could be ac
cused of caring how Henry Carey's for
tune was finally disposed of.
. The third man was Donald Gregory,
born of a stern Scotch father and a
mercurial French mother in the storm
locked New ' England town where
Eleanor Carey had lived in her girl
hood. In bl3 father's eyes the young
chap bad wasted what should hare
been a usef nl youth.
Today the stern old father vtinfortn
nately was not alive to witness the
artistic triumphs of his son. bat the
mercurial little mother was waiting to
welcome him ' in the New England
town. N He would have joined her days
before : but for havlug met Eleanor
Carey the very day of his arrival In
New York from Paris. .
When the
New Eneland housewife
(arid she knows baked beans) bakes' " :
beans, she bakes them for hours in a slow,
. drv oven. '. .
That's the only way to do it. That's the
only way' to. make beans look and taste BEST.

And 1 to each" of these three men
Eleanor Carey had given the same re-.
ply. as quietly and unemotionally as
she bad laid the extra lump of sugar
on the saucer beside thelrcup of tea.
"I am going to Craigniere the first of
the month. If it Is for the best, I wCl
send for you to come there."
All the world seemed a-movlng ta
morning of May 1. Worried iniddl
class housewives wrangled with Im
pertinent van and storage men, and
humbler families carried their belong
ings or shoved them from old homes
to new in a borrowed pushcart.
Eleanor Carey's town house was as
serene as if the entire establishment,
retinue of servants, canaries. Angora
kittens, mistress and all were not to Iw
removed that very afternoon to Cralg
mere. ' '
The mistress of the menage. In bil
lowy masses of lace, awaited her morn
lnjl .mail .and her coffee. . When the
i
"MX DKAB LITTLE SWEETHEART OF LONG
AGO," IT KAN.. . -
laftef " had" been served the maid re
entered the room laden with letters and
parcels.
There were violets and lilies of tbe
valley from Dr. Dalton, a corsage bou
quet large enough to hide the front of
Mrs. Carey's traveling coat.- From
Jimmy .Darnton there were pink roses,
long stemmed, perfectly tinted and
crystalline with dew showered by the
florist's rubber sprayer. There were
bulky envelopes from ber lawyers and
doffodils from a girlish admirer. There
were whines from individual mendi
cants and carefully phrased appeals
from charity organizations.
And. last, the maid, with a correctly
blank expression on her face, banded
her mistress a curious floral' offering,
a basket made of soft willow twigs
interwoven and lined with damp moss,
which overflowed with the most com
monplace flowers violets with only a
faint woodland odor, a few sprigs of
late arbutns. many, many faintly tinted
bepaticas and some dainty Quaker la
dles. Silently she sat fingering the
fragile blossoms while ber deft fin
gered maid ' arranged the pink roses
and the. hothouse violets. At last with
a long drawn sigh. . Eleanor Carey
opened the envelope tied to the May
basket by a blade of stout grass. . ;
VMy , dear little feweetheart of -long
ago," it ran, "do yon suppose f of one
instant that I Intend to wait for you

a happy day since your purse was lined
with his gold. Come; love: 'tis May
day. and the world is still young for
you and me. Be the queen of my May
today and for every May day to come.
I am waiting." . '
For almost an hour Eleanor Carey
sat there, the spring blossoms fading
under her hot clasped bands. Her
breakfast turned cold. Her maid slip
ped in and out of the room, silent and
apparently unobservlng. Then her
mistress turned to her suddenly.
"Adeline, call my lawyers: you know
the numler, Broad. Tell Jenkins
we- will take the. 1:45 instead of .the
3:10 train for Craigmere. That Is all.
At 4 o'clock that afternoon Donald
Gregory waited on a moss grown log
in the wood adjoining Craigmere. Ail
around him " bloomed the unfragrant,
exqiiis;tely tinted wild flowers, while
dogwood petals fell in a snowy shower
on thick moss and, modeat blooms alike.
His Parisian friends . would hardly
recognize bint. Gone was the Van
dyck beard,' gone the shabby cordu
roys, the flowing tie. In their stead
Gregory was clean shaven as in tbe
old days when he had made and filled '
Eleanor's May basket year after year.
For the corduroys he wore n light gray
suit, a soft madras outing shirt, a soft
gray silk tie. lie looked the boyish
lover, not the successful artist.
And toward him. treading the path
way among fne dogwood petals, came
the lady of bis heart, clad In a simple
frock of blue and white wash stuff and
a low flat hat wreathed with flowers.
She held out her bands. He took them
and the smiling woman to his heart.
"Dear girl. he murmured In her ear.
"it is good to be young in May.
And the woman raised hef eyes to
his, eyes from which had passed every
trace of bitterness and anxiety and dis

Eczema is Now Curable. -
. .
A St. Louis chemist, after many
years of careful experimenting and in-
vestigationfrfias discovered a simple
remedy that has cured hundreds of
cases: of eczema that had been pro-
nounced incurable. This chemist be
lieved that eczema . and . all itching
skin diseases were" of local origin and
were caused by germs 'which attaclced .
and fed on the skin. He began :td
search for a remedy that would de-.
stray these germs, and found that by
combining the active" principles of cer
tain well known vegetable drugs, and
applying them locally, tbe first appli
cation stopped the Itching and .burn
ing, and if: used persistently : would .
drive all germs and their poisons 'to '
the surface of the skin, and, destroy
them, leaving a nice clear, healthy
skin. He gave this remarkable rem
edy tbe suggestive name of Zemo, .
and 6ince Its introduction to the pub
lic Zemo has proved a very popular
remedy and is today recognized the1
most successful and meritorious rem
edy ever produced for the relief and
cure of eczema and all. diseases of
the skin and scalp. '
Harper House pharmacy , endorses
nd recommends Zemd and says that
