Mli. SMITH'S RESIGNATION.
The single faxit that the Attorney
Ctoaoral naa resigned calls for no com
ment beyond that which presents a
lull and cordial recognition of his
Uong, valuable and unstinted services
to the government and people. This
comment will le made hereafter.
It la a most unfortunate incident
that bs peremptorily demanded an ac
ceptance of his resignation for a long
lime in President Dole's hands, be
cause of an attack upon himself and
upon Mr. Dole iby a member of the
Kxocutive Council.
We cannot state, because we are not
fully informed of, the reasons which
caused this attack. There must have
bem, of course, some strong provoca
tion ithat influenced this "wheel-horse"
of the government to suddenly refuse
to pull any longer -with his fellows.
. The only public report on the details
of any differences in the Cabinet' is
that which appeared several days
eince in an evening journal, contain
ing an interview with one of Mr. Ta
mon's intimates, and in which a dra
matic ecene in the Executive chamber
was described, apparently "by author
Sty," and in which Mr. Damon repre
senting Gxodness,"denounced IMr. .Dole,
as representing Wickedness. The cor
rectness of the description i3 reaffirm
ed by the journal that published it.
A a Mr. Damon does not contradict
dt, it may he assumed that he for some
good reason endorses the correctness
of the account. Even if he does not
usually "notice newspaper stories," his
omission to notice this story, under
the circumstances of its -puibli cation,
permits and really forces the conclu
sion that he endorses it.
Neither President Tole nor Mr. Smith
can contradict the statements made
without precipitating that most irrita
ting -lamd useless of all controversies,
that of the newspaper.
We have a suspicion that the report
of "that stirring scene in the Executive
chamber, during which President Dole
displayed very low morals, and Min
ister Damon manifested very high
morals, Was "doctored" somewhere
and by somebody, in order to "beat
Bole" in the assaults made upon him
iby Mr. Sewall and his friends. The
vent gives .Mr. Se wall's organ great
delight. If it was "doctored" by some
unscrupulous hand, Minister Damon
should so state. It is not an uncom
mon event for Cabinet (Ministers to
correct statements which really mis
lead the public.
If, however, it is true that Minister
Damon was forced to disinfect. Presi
dent Dole's moral mature, "which ap
pears, if the statements are correct, to
have been infesxed with microbes of
sin, it must ;be sincerely regretted that
after so long a period of service Mr.
Damon 'has found that his old col
leagues are unworthy of trust. In this
belief, he may shake hands cordially
with Mr. (Sewall. How the idols fall!
No one knows more about the virtues
and faults of his colleagues than Mr.
Damon. He has himself done long,
faithful and most valuable services for
the people. He is entitled to their last
ing gratitude and respect. The 'Ad-
vprfisw cannot nermit any one to
claim a larger appreciation of those
cervices. If, in the discharge of his
duty as a public maa and responsible
piricer, lie must denounce his old col
leagues and expose their .true charac
ter as intriguers, and self fish men, It
is to be profoundly regretted . that he
is their "executioner." Chief Justice
Shaw of Massachusetts said the most
painful moment of his life occurred,
when he sentenced his old college
friend, Prof. Avebster, to be hung for
murder. It is in the discharge of duty
under painful circumstances that in
dicates inflexible strength of character.
sician hir-self, had provided C r"
which at once became noted for Its
excellence..
vvnin three months after he had
finished it, the orders came, direct
ing him to remove to a small town in
Missouri, and take charge of a parish
there. The cause of his removal was
hi3 dangerous popularity, and it.-i pos
sible effect on Church discipline. He
left at once. He was asked if he re
gretted th.it he hud been ordered to
leave. He replied:
"No; I am part of the machinery of
a great institution. The individual
counts for nothing in ita plans. My
thought is only for its growth and
grandeur ana success. I have none for
myself. I shall be as contented in the
woods of Missouri as I am here. I
allow myself to regret nothing. I am
indeed human, but I am trained to
follow the Cross, and wherever it is,
and I can look upon it, I am supreme
ly satisfied."
Devotion of this kind is, however,
secured at the sacrifice of the best
human relations. It makes missions
successful,' if the word success is used
in ita narrow sense.
'Men, like these passing Fathers,
are the agents who firmly establish
the Catholic missions in the remotest
parts of the earth. They may be wrong
theologically. They are generally right
practically.

The oratorio concert to be given
next week should open the way for a
steady series of such musical events.
The local Brad street's fails in the
latest issue ito give the customary foot
note in effect that collections are diffi
cult. Reports by officials of the Board
of Immigration are not lengthy or la
bored, though they tell a good deal
about labor.
It has been noticed that the tug Eleu
sometimes grunts. But, "honest Injun,"
the captain, engineer and crew mem
bers serve vigils that are not simply
long. They are interminable.

To find a highly accomplished pianist
wearing the uniform of an enlisted man
in the U. S. A. is cumulative evidence
on the point that the personnel of the

simply unrivalled.

MEN WHO ESTABLISH MISSIONS.
The words of Father Guillen, one of
the priests from the Philippines, as
they appeared in an interview with
him, published in our issue Wednes
day, reveal the power of the Roman
Church, and the pathetic side of the
lives of its apostles. "We are going
to (South and Central America to con
tinue our life work as missionaries.
This father, after a residence of
twenty-five years in the Philippines,
abandons his residence, his friends,
drops the thread of his life in Manila,
and takes it up in the South American
continent. The organization of the
Roman Church so orders it. Its source
of power lies in its equipment of a
trained army of disciples always ready
to move without "scrip" or baggage.
A Father in one of the Eastern
cities, after ten years of labor, sue

NEW. PROCESS
BLUE FLAME OIL STOVE.
A sort of dread may prevail among
housewives that perhaps these stores
might explode, but we can honestly say
that they aro perfectly safe la every
home. To endorse our statement Just
have a talk with any insurance agent;
ho will tell you at once that ho would
rather Insure a homo where these
stoves are used than Issuo a policy on
a home where different stoves are Uied.
You wonder why tho DIuo (Time
stove should bo better than any other.
We'll tell you. In this country the mat
ter of fuel Is a very large Item of ex
pense. As you have turned over a
new leaf since the New lear and in
tend economizing where you never
thought of before, you may ttela on
your coal and wood. It Is a positive
fact that tho "BLUE FLAME" uses
only about one-half the quantity of fuel
any other, stovo does. Another great
advantage Is that there Is no smoke or
smell.
These stoves are placed on rollers
and are so light they can be ially
moved about. We have them In two
sizes, one with two burners with orea
attached and tho other with three
burners wltn oven. (The price of these
stoves Is 16, $22.50 and J2S.0O). We
can't tell you all about them; this bet
thing to do Is to come and look at
them.
We aro selling the Celebrated
FISlfell STEEL RANGE for wood and
