OUR PRINCIPLES. Total abstiuence, Prohibition of the liquor traffic, One stand ard of morals for men and wom en. The education of public sentiment for right. Scientific Temperance Instruction The following resolution pass ed by the Executive Committee of the National W C T U as sembled at Hartford, Conn: Resolved, that we will in no wise abate our efforts to bold the laws for scientific temper ance instruction in tbe puouc schools which have been secur ed in every state and territory, and to maintain the higher standard for this teaching. We rejoice that total absti nence stntiment is fast advanc ing in all our land, nearly half of our country is under restrict ivelaws through either local, couoty.state or national legis lation; (due in large measure to the faithful, persistent work of the WOT U) and living in these districts are about 30,- 000,000 people. A department known as School Saving Banks report. In the United States the school children have saved and deposited to their credit four million dollars since tbe saving system was first intro duced. We now have the sys tem in fifteen hundred schools in twenty-eight States in the United States. State and local educators and school boards speak highly of its eeffcts. Less candy, gum and cigarettes are bought and children are more industrious and more truly generous. Great changes have been brought about since the W C T U come Jnto existence in tbis country. Intemperance and Life Insurance Dr. C. F. Wabrer before the Tri-State Medical Society Iowa, Illinois and Missouri All scientists agree that even its moderate uae is not benefic ial and may easily be harmful, and that all insurance compan ies regard drinkers as belong ing to the class of hazardous risks. Drinkers easily fall vic tims to such diseases as nepb ritis, heart disease, pneumonia typhoid fever and cirrhosis of the liver; and since intemper ance is most frequently found among tbe lewd and vicious, they are particularly liable to gonorrhea and sypbillis. Once attacked their chances for re covery are greatly lessened by tbe life they have led. Men following haeardous occupa tions are liable to injuries, and if intemperate, they stand oper ations poorly, and their chances for recovery are relatively small. Since intemperance plays such an important role in life insurance, it is well to note the A Serious Charge la an affidavit made by Frank L Emmett, who was formerly employed in a responsible posi tion by the Shelby Tube com pany, a corporation controlled y the National Tube company, which is a subsidiary concern of the United States Seel corpor ation, there is a charge, which, if true, should send the, mana gers of that trust to the gallows or to th penitentiary tor life; for it amounts to a charge of conspiracy to perpetrate indis. criminate assassination in order to reap dishonest profits on ma terial furnished for tbe con struction of our warships. Mr. Emmett charges under oath that tubing of an inferior quality had been used in mak ing the boilers of tbe United States battleship Georgia, bat tleship Maine, cruser Pennsyl vania and cruser Colorado, and that any -or all of the vessels were liable to be blown to atoms at any moment. Emmett de clares that during the year 1901 and previous to that time, the Shelby Tube company dis covered that they would be unable to deliver the tub ing for tbe warships in tbe time specified in the contract. Then, he says, one of his super iors in the employ of the com pany came to him, and suggest ed that the stamp of the gov ernment inspector be stolen, and certain tubing ' stamped with the government seal. He swears that tbis was act ually done, and that in this way the company was able to fill tbe contracts in tbe specified time, although the tubing which was used in the warships men tioned would not have been passed by the government in spector, nor would it have been used in building tbe boilers. A full account of the matter was published in a dispatch from Pittsburg to tbe Philadel phia North Americano! October 190G. A Washington dis patch to tbe same paper of tbe same date says that Emmett's charges have been partly cor roborated by information re ceived from the navy depart ment to the effect that tbe Shel by company furnishes seamless cold drawn steel tubes for wa ter-tube boilers used in the navy, and that a defective wa ter connection has been discov ered in the Maine, while the casing of the Pennsylvania's boiler's has burnt out. The United States Steel cor poration is tbe worst pampered monopoly and fraud in tbe whole world. It was made pos sible only by reason of our pro hibitive tariff on steal and iron products. Like tbe original Frankenstein it has turned up on its creator with murderous intent. It repays favors with frauds involving the destruc tion of our sailors and our ex cessively costly ships. But it is tbe darling of the standpat ters, and will escape punish ment as long as it can pay for immunity. No Need of it When llyomcl Is Used tot Cure Catarrh- Do not try to cure catarrh of the head by dosing the stom ach. This is neither cemtnon sense nor scientific, as the less medicine one swallows U:e bet ter. To cure catarrai troubles, breathe the healing Hyotnel and the medication will go right to the spot where the ca tarrhal germs are present, and free the system from all catarrh al poison. Wood Bros, have seen so many cures of catarrh made by Ilyo mei, some of them chronic cases, that they give an absolute guar antee of cure or money will be refunded witb every outfit they sell. Tbe complete Hyomei outfit costs but $1, while extra, bottles of Hyomei, it needed, are but 50 cents. The Captain is Excepted. Passing tbe pantry of his boat one day, Captain Birch of Gloucester overheard one of the cabin boys indulging in animad versions on the officers an crew. He turned a very severe coun tenance upon the boy and said: "Young man. hereafter when you have anything to say about anyone about the boat, please except the captain :1 A few days later, when the captain happened to be on deck, the same cabin boy carried past him a disb of food prepared for the table, and a pet hog, run ning between the boy's legs, up set him scattering the food. Picking himself up, with a most rueful countenance, the boy commenced berating the hog. "You are the miserablest hog I ever seen," he began. when, catching a view of the old man, and remembering his injunction, be added, "except tbe captain.'' The boy has had a secure berth on Captain Birch's baat ever since. Boston Herald. Thanks To Merchants.

PolWrd was elected to fill an unexpired term and be claims be followed cus tom in collecting salary for the whole term. His action was made a campaign issue by the Democrats.
