CARNATION DAY.
William McKinley and His Favorite
Flower, the Carnation.
Of all the touching tributes of a
nation to one of her noblest sons.
Carnation day, which marks the an
niversary of president McKinley's
birth, is one - of the most striking.
President McKinley in life was pas
sionately fond of the simple little
American flower, the carnation. Kvery
morning on his desk in the great
eapitol was a bouquet of these flowers,
and every day during his term of of
fice as president of the United
States, and before this for years, a
single carnation adorned the left
lapel of his coat.
A CR1ESESSI0N
The County Attorneys of Kansas
Get Together.
Discuss the Criminal and His
Devious Ways.
MAKE GOOD SPEECHES.
John C. Beek of Greensfonrg
Tells of Different Classes.
The Offenders Should Be Given
Appropriate Treatment.
The county attorneys from all of the
counties of Kansas met in the railroad
commissioners' rooms at the state
house last evening and held a very in
teresting meeting much to the credit
of the president. Attorney General Fred
S. Jackson, and for the mutual benefit
of the attorneys themselves.
There were several addresses during
the session, among them being some
fatherly admonitions from Justice Por
ter who gave some very valuable ad
vice to the young attorneys and illus
trated each piece of counsel by an ex
perience in his life as an attorney and
a lawyer. He told some amusing ex
periences of how he prosecuted saloon
keepers and he gave a little hint to
the county attorneys as to the ap
proach of a criminal and as to the
finding of a criminal before he was
subject to approach. He concluded his
address by paying a glowing tribute to
Attorney General Jackson of Kansas
and County Attorney Schenck of Shaw
nee county.
Mr. Schenck was scheduled for a
paper in the meeting Thursday but he
failed to appear on account of heavy
business at the district court followed
by a sudden sickness which compelled
him to retire to his home. He had a
paper prepared, and from the number
of regrets that were given by the
president and the visiting county at
torneys it was apparent that the paper
had excellent advance notices.
Uncle Jimmie" Green Talks.
While the convention was waiting for
the appearance of Mr. Schenck. before It
was known that he could not be. pres.
ent. President Jackson spied "Uncle
Jimmie" Green, dean of the law school
of the State university, ' in the crowd
that filled the room and he was called
upon to talk to the assembled attor
neys for a few minutes. Dean Green
responded by saying that there were a
large number of attorneys in the room
whom he had. through his hard labors
with them in college, prepared for their
present positions and he could look
around the room and count any num
ber of them. Before he had finished
his talk he interrupted himself by say
ing that he was giving just the kind of
a lecture that he gave at the university
and he had better cut it short because
a majority of the assembled men had
heard that same old story in the same
old way until they were tired of it and
could speak it "by heart." He was
greeted with much applause and it
was apparent that he had started many
men on the right path. He said dur
ing his talk that he had always told
his students that a county attorney
was and should be one of the ambitions
of the young lawyer.
A Spicy Speech.
A. E. Jordan of Beloit gave one of the
spiciest little speeches of the day. He
has only been a county attorney seven
teen days and seventeen nights but he
has the ear marks of an "old head"'
and he told of the manner in which
he intended to run the office of county
nttnrnftv. He said there were two sides
to the county attorney business the
theoretical and the practical. ie in
formed the visiting lawyers that he
was going to use the practical and he
went on to illustrate his remarks with
fmrn real life. He was full of
ambition and pepper just the same and
the criminals and wouia De criminal
in Mitchell county will have a hard
man to deal with during the next term.
And he isn't going to waste any time
or money at it. His closing rem
were "I believe in securing obedience
to the law at the least possible cost.
He talked as if he would do it and he
has plenty of energy behind him lO
carry out his beliefs.
IYench law in Kansas.
John C. Beck of Greensburg gave the
last scheduled address and he started
out by saying that he was sorely dis
appointed because he could not hear
the paper which was to have been
given by County Attorney Schenck.
He said he had heard considerable or
tin. shawnee-Tooeka man and he had
figured on the paper as being one of
the advantages of his trip to Topeka,
He spoke most of the time on the fact
that a county attorney is an enemy of
the violaters of the law and that is
where their main trouble lies. He
classed the criminals, that come under
the jurisdiction of the county attorneys

as being in two divisions the con
firmed and the youth. The former
were those who insisted on disobeying
the law at all times and those who
seemed to have little fear of the law
itself or those who tried to enforce it.
They are the ones who are hard to deal
with and the men who unless they are
idiots, children or maniacs should be
sent to the penitentiary for life with
out any of the mercies of the parole
law. The youth are those who fall but
once or twice in a lifetime in the
clutches of the law and they are the
ones for whom the county attorneys
should have a deep feeling. Mr. Beck
told of many cases where he had
taken young men and boys and instead
of sending them to the reform schools
he had taught them of the better things
of life and they had reformed and made
good citizens out of themselves. He
stated emphatically that the ' two
classes of, criminals should be treated
altogether differently in spite of the
provisions of the law. In other words
a county attorney should use a little
judgment In his work and not rely
upon the law altogether.
Two Classes of Criminals.
Professor W. E. Higgins of the State
university who was appointed chair
man of a committee from the bar asso
ciation to investigate the criminal code
in the state of Kansas then asked for
the attention of the county attorneys
and asked them as a favor to keep him
posted by mail of the working of the
Kansas criminal laws so he could make
a report at the next meeting of the as
sociation. He said the county attor
neys over the state were the real judges
of the working effects of the criminal
law as used in Kansas and he wanted
their opinion. It is probable that the
natural criminal law of France will
be substituted in Kansas for the pres
ent system of criminal law.
Following this talk by the university
professor the session was thrown open
to the members of the association and
they talked on such subjects as "bucket
shops," 1 amber and ice combines in the
smaller towns, etc. It Is the general
opinion that in the smaller cities in the
state there is a tendency for lumber
companies to combine and operate un
der different names but under one
head. In this manner they "hog" the
trade The county attorneys were
warned to watch out for all these
things and keep "peace in the family"
as far as the miniature trusts are con
cerned. There were any number of
subjects discussed and in some inci
dents there were a few sassy remarks
handed among the lawyers to one an
other. One crowd favored the con
fidential interviews with the prisoners
and the other crowd talked with fiery
words against such a practice. Some
were in favor of the parole law and
others fought It. It is said that too
many men violate their paroles.
If some of the would-be or has-been
or about-to-be criminals had attended
the county attorney meeting last even
ing they would have had a rich treat.
Their habits and their tricks were dis
cussed and he would have learned a
good deal of his own character if he
had been there to hear it. He also
would have been thoroughly informed
of some of the means that they county
attorneys are going to take to make
the world harder for them to live in.
MORE GO THAN COME.
Secretary .Straus Submits Statistics on
Movement of Japanese.
Washington, Jan. 29. Secretary
Straus has forwarded a letter to Sena
tor Frank P. Flint, of California, dis
cussing the statistics of the department
of commerce and labor covering the im
migration of Japanese to the United
States and the emigration of Japanese
from the United States. Secretary
Straus writes:
"You will observe that the entire
number (Japanese) admitted was 12,4ia
for the calendar year 1907 while the
entire number admitted was but 4,477
for the calendar year 1908. You will
also bear in mind that the executive
order of the president was issued on
March 14, 1907, but it took a consider
able time to prepare regulations pro
vided for in that order and put the
regulations into effect and for. the de
partment of state both here and
through our ambassador to Japan to
arrive at definite understanding with
the Japanese government.
"Finally, I wish to call your attention
to the fact that beginning with the
month of June, 190S, to October, 190S,
the emigration of Japanese from the
United States exceeded the emigration
to the United States by 1,542, showing
distinctly that the trend of the emi
gration of Japanese is from the United
States which Is further shown by the
marked decrease of immigration dur
ing the months referred to of 1908 as
compared with the same months of
1907."

IS LOCON
ATAX1ACURABLE?
A Question Upon Which the
Medical Profession Is Divided.
President McKinley could see in
th.is beautiful flower inspiration for
higher and nobler things. The car
nation is a hardy flower. It is within
the reach of everyone, and possesses
unusual beauty. Just so with the life
of President McKinley, the anniver
sary of whose birth we commemorate
today. He proved he could stand the
storms of public life as have few
men since the day of Washington.
He was a man of the rank and file
of this great American common
wealth. We must all agree that his
life was, like the flower, pure, sweet
and simple.
Today over theUnited States many
pay him the tribute of wearing the
carnation and this day has become
known as Carnation day.

SEVERE ITCHING
0RMH1DS
Tiny Pustules Spread Up to Elbows
Could Not Sleep and Scratched
Until She Bled After Seven
. Months of Futile Treatment,
Little Girl was Completely
CURED IN TWO WEEKS
BY CUTICURA REMEDIES
"My daughter, twelve years of age,
was afflicted with a terrible itching of
the hands which was so bad at night
that she was unable to sleep. She
scratched herself until she bled. The
trouble began in the shape of small pus
tules about the size of a pinhead which
produced severe itching and then a hard
scab formed on top. These alwaya
opened up again, bleeding badlv. From
the fingers it extended over the hand
and as far as the elbows. The doctor
said it was eczema and that recovery
would necessarily be slow. He treated
my daughter for seven months, but the
trouble always grew worse. Then I
started in to use the Cuticura Remedies.
After I had used Cuticura Soap for two
weeks, with Cuticura Ointment and
Cuticura Pills, her hands were healed.
Mrs. M. Strecker, South Haven, Minn.,
April 1 and July 7, 1908."
It Has Besn Absolutely Proven,
However, That Lasting Bene
fit May Be Obtained from
the Tonic Treatment.
The recent discussion among emi
nent New York nerve specialists as to
whether locomotor ataxia is curable
has aroused renewed Jnterest in one
of the most baffling of diseases. Lo
comotor ataxia is generaly considered
incurable but the permanent bene
fit which has followed the use of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills in numerous
cases shows' that the disease may of
ten be so far checked as to give the
patient what is practically a cure.
A carefully investigated case in
which the improvement resulting from
the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
has ben lasting is that of Mr. Francis
M. Poole, a harness maker, of No.
285 Somerset stret, St. Paul, Minn.
"My illnes started in 1902," he says,
"with sharp pains all through my
limbs. At first I thought it was rheu
matism but the pains kept getting
more severe and I grew steadily
worse. Later a numbness came over
my feet. It gradually extended up my
legs to my spine and waist. By this
time I had lost all control of my leg3.
Next my bladder and 'bowels were af
fected and 1 lost all control or them.
At this stage of the disease I was per
fectly helples and from November,
1905 to April, 1906, I was confined to
the bed. My memory was so affected
that I thought I would lose my mind.
I looked just like a dead person. My
lips and finger nails were blue. I
suffered with teribles harp, shooting
pains and could get relief only from
the use of morphine.
- "I was treated by five St. Paul doc
tors. All of them pronounced my case
locomotor ataxia. One said . I could
not live a year and another told my
wife all he could do for me was to
give medicine to relieve the pain. I
was discouraged and, when my brother-in-law
urged me to try Dr. Wil
liams, Pink Pills, I did so willingly for
he had read of their curing a case sim
ilar to mine. I started to take the
pills in March, 1906, while I was still
confined to bed. I took several boxes
when I felt a slight change for the
better and had a healthier look. I was
finally able to go to the country but
kept on with the treatment. The
bluish color left my lips and my eyes
became brighter. I took the pills a
long time and the nexts pring in May
I could walk around. In June I went
to work although still weak. I kept on
gaining and have now ben working
two years without the return of a
symptom of my former trouble and
without losing a day's work. Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills absolutely cured me
and I want all fellow sufferers to know
of my wonderful recovery."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the
most direct remedy for nervous dis
eases caused by impure blood, as nerv
ous exhaustion, nervousness, nervous
headaches, sciatica and St. "Vitus'
dance and they have given lasting ben
efit in partial paralysis.
Dr. Wiliams' Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re
ceipt of price, 50 cents per box; six
boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, New
York.
