WOMAN'S INFLUENCE FOR GOOD.
M:m is u savage in his natural
state. Indeed, and scratch away the
artificial veneer of manners, culture
and self-restraint that covers modern
man and you will find him a savage
still. One thousand years of civiliza
tion has not sufficed to chauge the
primitive instincts of man.
To woman belongs the credit ? or
perhaps discredit ? of making the re
finements and usages of modern
society what they are. But it is with
the influence that the individual wo
man wields over her individual luate
that we have to deal.
Women cannot compete with men
011 equal terms either mentally or
physically. In the qualities which we
term "moral." however, they have
been more generously endowed than
man. Women recognize this fact and
as a sex they have developed these
traits so that at this age and era it
i? safe to assert that women possess
more innate refinement, temperance,
modesty and gentleness than men.
"Love in man's life is a thing
1'j.art. 'tis women's whole existence."
.'?'en range the broader field of the
world's activities; but to women is
given the power to shape the uaturc
ai.d the caree ' of 'he fc;en they love
jr a-: ?oc.ate with A bad or wholly
frivolous woman is enough of a drag
to keep the average man from attain- ?
ing success. Out an ambitious wo
man. .1 woman with liberal and charit
able ideas, a woman with a pur.
mind and a desire for the better
things, can work wonders with the
nature of a man who loves her.
To her is given the task to teach
the higher ideals, to preserve lofty
ethical standards, to develop the gen- j
tit st and noblest in a man. A woman
of this sort is the best asset a man |
can have. She at once Inspires and
comforts. I'nder her ministrations
the moil and care of a troublous
world is soothed away and man rises i
refreshed from weariness and despair
and re-enters the battle of life with
new hope.
There Is more truth than poetry in I
the toast: "Women: our arms her
defence; her arms our recompense."
Most women can either make or
mar the men they have married ? or
love. Tha' in most cases their influ
ence is for good and good alone is
the highest tribute that can be paid j
our wives and mothers and sweet
hearts. Let not women complain of a
limited spnere. ' Men rule the des
tines of the world and women rule
the destinies of men ? for good or
evil.
WHO KNOX IS.
President-elect Taft has aunounced
that Philander C. Knox, at present
representing Pennsylvania in the
I'nited States senate, will be the next
secretary of state, succeeding Robert
Hacon, who was appointed some
weeks ago to fill the term left vacant
by the resignation of Klihu Root. The
secretary of state is the most import
ant man in the cabinet. Next to the
president and vice-president he i?
first in order of succession..
Philander Chase Knox was born in
Brownsville, Pa . May 6. 18.">C. His
father was David S. Kuox, a wealthy
banker of Brownsville. Knox gradu
ated from Mount 1'nion college, Ohio,
in 187:1 and entered a Pittsburg law
office. He was admitted to the bar
in 187J; was assistant United States
district attorney for the western dis
trict of Pennsylvania in 1876. He
made good at his every opportunity
and in 1896 was elected president of
the Pennsylvania Bar association.
He was a personal friend of Presi
dent McKinley's and in 1901 was ap
pointed as attorney general of the
United States as successor of John
Griggs of New Jersey, who resigned.
Knox was re-appointed by President
Roosevelt after McKinley's assassina
tion, but resigned in 1904 to be ap
pointed to the United States senate
by Gov. Penny packer of Pennsylvania
to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Matt Quay. He was return
ed to the senate by the legislature
in 1905. He has been there ever
since. His term expires in 1911.
Knox is an able man and will un
doubtedly prove useful in Taft's cab
lne\ His experience iu the cabinets
o two other presidents should stand
hiiu in good stead.
"FREE SPEECH AND THE BIG
STICK."
President Roosevelt has been In
strumental in having indictments
charging criminal libel returned
against Editors Pulitzer and Smith of
the New York World and Indianapolis
News for their accusations of graft
made in connection with the Panama
purchase.
In yesterday's issue of The World
Pulitzer bitterly assails the president,
asserts that his action was due to
personal animosity, and concludes
with a melodramatic utterance that
"no flourishing of the big stick can
stifle free speech."
Undoubtedly Roosevelt acted iu an
undignified manner iu using his offi
cial power to influence the prosecu
tion against Pulitzer and Sn.lth. Dig
nity has never been Theodore's long
suit. But there is no intention on
the part of the president to "stifle
free speech." T. R. owes too much
' of his own power to the use of chaste
'vet lurid vituperation through the
1 newspapers to seriously consider this.
Free speech is not iu danger. The
I country is under a great debt of
I gratitude to the press for honest anil
i fearless criticism of those in power
both iu iiolitics and finance. We
have reasonable libel laws allowing u
wide latitude, if 1'ulitzer and Smith
have overstepped these laws they will
be punished. Otherwise they can
continue to shout graft. Free speech
is hi no immediate danger in either
case.
After an investigation by a special
government agent Judge Held ha.>
been retained on the bench. His
brother-in-law, Judge Goodwin, re
signed as receiver of the Alaska Cen
tral railroad, however, and O. A.
Wells, his elerk of court, who mani
fested a pernicious activity in politics
also stepped down and out. The
charges filed against Reid at least re
sulted in a house cleaning in tli?
Inird judicial district. It all helps
some.

By Terrible Eczema? Head Became
a Mass of Itching Rash and Sores
?Would Scratch Till Blood Came
?Much Money Wasted in Fruitless
Treatments? Disease Was Soon
CURED AT SLIGHT COST
BY CUTICURA REMEDIES
"Our little girl was two months old
when she got a rash on her face and
within five days her face and head were
all one sore. We used different reme
dies but it got worse instead of better
and wo thought she would turn blind
and that her ears would fall off. She
suffered terribly, and would scratch
until the blood came. At night we
had to pin her hands down. This
went on until she was five months old,
then I had her under our family doc
tor's care, but sho continued to grow
worse. He said it was eczema. When
she was seven months old I started to
use Cuticura Soap, Cuticurn Ointment,
and Cuticura Resolvent, and in threo
weeks ? what a change! I kept ming
the Cuticura Remedies for two months
and our baby was a different girl. You
could not see a sign of a sore and she
was as fair as a new-born babv, and all
for t he small cost of a dollar ana seventy
five cents where we had spent ten
times the money for doctoring. Sho
is now two years- old and has not had a
sign of the eczema since. Mrs. H. F.
Budke, It. F. D. 4, LeSueur, Minn.,

SLEEP KILLED
By an Itching Humor. Another
Cure by Cuticura Remedies.
"I broke out with a humor which
spread almost all over my body. Tho
itching would get worse' on retiring,
80 1 could not sleep. I tritxi several
remedies but it grew worse until 1 cot
some Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Pills
which l>egan to relieve me at once. By
the time 1 had n<cd one vial of the Pills,
the humor was entirely gone. I wish
every sufferer could secure the Cuti
cura Remedies. Travis Bates, Hamburg.
