"HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN." Department of Archives, Ca W. Va. Ir. Jackson Taken To Task Ir. Jackson Taken To Task In your issue of December 21st, notice an article from the giftad o of J. W Jackson. For the present, we only wish to acuse that part of the article that fers to the Progressive Party and seodore Roosevelt. Like many other people in this untry, Mr. Jackson does not seem understand why the Progressive arty was organized. The facts are those: Mr. Roosebelt went to the Republican National convention with a speech in one pocket to be delivered to the Republican Convention in case of his nomination, and a platform upon which organize a new party, in the event his defeat, in the other. We take it for granted that Mr. Jackson will admit that had Mr. Goosevelt received the nomination, the hands of the Republicans, his new party Platform would have been assigned to the waste basket, and the principles of the Republican party would have been defended with the same vehemence with which he denounced them. Herein is the selfishness of Mr. Roosevelt revealed. The Republican party was grand and pure so long as he was its idol, but when he was epudicated the party became too corrupt" for him to affiliate with. Mr. Roosevelt went out of office four years ago with the intention of coming back in 1912, and thinking Mr. Taft would be easily defeated or the nomination, he used the power of his office to have him nominated. The three millions of Republicans that went down with Mr. Taft, may not be able of themselves, to elect a President, but in my opinion it will be demonstrated that they are sufficiently strong to see it that the political sun of Theodore Roosevelt has gone down to rise no more. As evidence of this determination, let us look at the states of Kansas and California at the last election. These states were regarded as the strongest Progressive States in the country, but Mr. Roosevelt failed to carry either of them, because the Republicans seeing that Mr. Taft could not carry them, voted for Wilson as the best means of securing the defeat of Mr. Roosevelt, whom they very properly regarded as a political ingrate. Mr. Taft would have received a much larger popular vote but for the reason stated above. In nearly all the States West of the Mississippi, the contest was between Wilson and Roosevelt and it is estimated that in that election 200,000 Republicans voted for Wilson as a rebuko to the apostasy of Mr. Roosevelt, and this action will be repeated in 1916 if he is a candidate or any other man whose administration is dictated by him. If the Republican party is boss ridden and corrupt, as Mr. Roosevelt claims, how can he escape the greater condemnation when it is remembered that he has been prominent in the party for the last twenty years, and was the recognized leader for nearly eight years? That Bro Jackson may see the motive behind the Progressive move- STABLISHED 1882. --- MALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE MARTINSBURG, W. ment without glasses, we will state that with a few exceptions, the leadership is composed of that class of men who have had all they can reasonably expect to get at the hands of the Republicans and have started a new party with the hope of getting a new lease on office. I am of the opinion Mr. Jackson is as much mistaken in taking the stand he does in favor of the "down and out" as he is in placing the late Senator Rayner in the class with Tillman and Vardaman. If I am correctly informed, and I think I am, Senator Rayner belongs to that class of Democrats that must be given credit for the defeat of the amendment to the Maryland constitution that would have disfranchised most of the colored people. Thomas, W. Va. W. J. Thompson. W. VA., AT U. S. LAND SHOW. A compilation of the attendance figures of the United States Land Show, held recently in Chicago, show that 266,000 visitors paid admission to what was probably the greatest exhibition of its kind yet held in this country. One of the most attractive displays made by any state at the national exhibit of natural resources and kindred matters was made by West Virginia, the state which claimed the unique distinction of being the "most northern of Southern states, most southern of Western states, most eastern of Western states and most Western of Eastern States." The West Virginia exhibit covered ten booths, each 11 feet in length and five of which were devoted entirely to apples in their original packing in barrels and boxes ready for market. The abundance of the display made a lasting impression on the visitors. The other five booths in the West Virginia exhibit were devoted to a display of various soils, forage and grain specimens, as well as displays of potatoes, corn and other provisions and minerals. One single lump of coal exhibited weighed five tons, and at the close of the Land Show the large lump was donated to Miss Jane Addams of the Hull House. Thousands of famous Wheeling estates and barrel after barrel of apples were given to the visitors. The exhibit was made through the united efforts of the Boards of Trade of the state, headed by Roy B. Naylor, of Wheeling, and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, through Jes. H. Stewart, agricultural agent and former director of the State Agricultural Experiment Station, and T. F Imbach, traveling agricultural agent of the railroad. A feature of the West Virginia exhibit was a course of illustrated lectures, in which beautifully colored lantern slides were used to show the state's attractiveness, historically and in scenic and climatic ways. The geological, mineralogical and agricultural possibilities of West Virginia were explained, as was also the civic and commercial organizations of its cities and towns. The lecturers included Dr. I. C. White, of Morgantown, State Geologist and a man of international reputation as an authority on soils and minerals; Roy B Naylor Secretary of the State Board of Trade; John H. Rehbard, of Wheeling; James H. Stewart, Agricultural Agent, and W. E. Lowes, Assistant General Passenger Agent of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. From Far-Off South America Press. And it was at his play that he did his greatest work. It is work for one to do what he has no delight in. Play is derived from the word please or pleasure, or amuse in Greek, from whence we coin our word music. Franklin was only amused when he had found out some hidden thing and was only pleased when he had brought it to light. Thus we see that when he was learning to make candles, he did it with much pleasure. But after he knew all about how they were made and was satisfied in his curiosity, he lost all interest in candles, but he did not stop playing, nor did he stop doing good. In his play he discovered electricity and by playing with it he developed many useful thoughts and things. One of them was the lightning rod, which has saved any amount of money to people in certain zones, not speaking about the lives. Edison in his laziness and play, cave us a machine which could talk as pliably as a man and speak in any language which a man can. It can do more, it can imitate any known sound once it is allowed to hear it. It was by play that the art of photography was invented, and it is in our play we do the most wonderful things of our lives, as well as gather the most valuable thoughts. I once knew a hotel cook who was noted as a chief at his trade, who said that when he was a boy he always played at cooking whenever he had an opportunity. I was always sleep when I was in school as a child, but none of those who were awake knew more about the lesson than I at our class. I was the laughing stock of our school, which I can prove today if I tried. My father gave me only one book to study at a time, and desired to know if I had learned all in the first one when I asked for the second. Thus I could tell you every book my father bought for me if I was not ashamed. I can remember the names and where he bought them, and know nearly what they each cost. I can tell what he paid for all he gave me as an education, and that is more than some of those boys can do who used to laugh at me. My teacher once became so disgusted at me and my father that after writing a certain note to him and receiving such an unconcerned reply; he made me the butt of every crude joke in school. But I knew him better than he knew me, and I would play the part he allotted to me with such case that he admiring my ability, became favorably disgusted with me. He said that I was just like my father after my father and he had parted friendship. All but that gentleman did not know that I was studying him while in school and my father while at home. I do believe that I learned more than he meant to teach me, although I had to give my dinner to see the books of my classmates, when they had no better use to put them to. Not having interesting books, nor being allowed to play in school. I simply slept the day through. I should have been an actor or an artist, but neither of these things suited my good father. So finally left to my fate, after I could not become a thorough academic product from one book at a time, I was called lazy and careless. But I warned him then that when he quit trying to stop a round hole with a square plug, Continued on second page. VOL. 31. Anecdotal Literature Anecdotal Literature Bx W. G. Lincoln appeared every morning in the carpet slippers he wore in the house, and the black clothes no tailor could make to fit his gaunt bony figure. The routine of his life was simple too. It would have seemed a treadmill to most of us. He was an early riser, and at eight in the morning he was already dressed and reading in his library. There was a big table near the center of the room, where he could be seen reading. He had a great fondness for Shakespeare. It is said that Secretary Stanton was infuriated to see Lincoln reading Hamlet while they were waiting for returns from Georgetown. It is known, too, how he kept cabinet meetings waiting, while he read the letters of Petroleum V. Naaby's writings. But he did not neglect reading the Bible while most of the household still slept. START AT A LOWER PITCH. It was in the days before church organ and choir, when Deacon Dar- sey volunteered to lead the singing of an old hymn. He started out very well:— "My soul be on thy guard, ten thou——, and he stopped, unable to go any further, because he had such a high pitch. He started again—My soul be on thy guard, ten thou——, and once more he stopped, having this time pitched so low that he could not proceed. "Say, brother Dorsey," said one of the congregation, "Hadn't you better start it with five thousand." Doctor brought a baby, Tiny little thing: See I most could put him Through my rubber ring. Ain't he awful ugly? Ain't he awful pink? Just come down from heaven— That's a fib, I think. Doctor told another Great big awful lie. Nose gint out of joint. That ain't why I cry. Mamma's up in bed— 'Cause, Doctor made her sick. Throw dock in the gutter, Beat him with a stick. But mother loves the baby, Calls him blessed thing! Sends me off with Bridget Every blessed day— "Be a good boy Charles, Run away and play. Says, I ought to love him! No, I won't! No girl! Nasty, crying baby.— Not got any hair. Gets all my nice kisses, Got my place in bed— Mean to take my drumsticks And beat him in the head. Dr. D. L. Washington, a member of the Waebing on Conference, graduated with honor December 12, from the American College of Medicine Therapy, Chicago, Illinois, as a specialist in the cure of chronic diseases.

SATURDAY, JAN'Y, 4 1913 Coleman Blease's dirty harangue in the same old ringboned, spavined, bony, wind broken, sore backed horse that old Ben Tillman rode to his paralysis, and may he jostle this old fossiliferous fool to it. Talmage walking along a street in New York saw a drunken fellow lying in a gutter. He stopped, looked at him, and said: "But for the religion of Jesus Christ, there lays Talmage." That exact feeling should control every living being in the downfall and lying of humanity. Mr. James H. Levy, a very popular B. & O. dining car waiter, and a man with a soul too big for his purse, yet he made a poor man's mint of money, died last Sunday in this city. He deserved a host of sincere friends. His remains were taken to Washington, D. C., where the Knight Templars buried him in splendor. Peace to his ashes and eternal joy for his soul. Ex Governor McCorkle's prophecy that Governor-elect Hatfield be the winner in the Senatorial contest is closely woven, but is thin enough to be seen through. That the vision is father to the desire, goes without argument. Dr. Hatfield's ambition is to serve the people who elected him as their governor. He is a young man, and the people who made him governor, can four years later, after he has made good every pledge he made, send him to the United States Senate. To do so now, would tie up the State Senate in such a muddle, that might take shape to try to get the wise Ex-Governor before the people as an aspirant for the Senatorial toga. The Ex-Governor hasn't mixed and mingled long enough with the Progressives to understand how easily they can and will bury all the bickering among them, for the good of their cause. What the Ex-Governor said relative to the division among us, was said before the 5th of November past, but did it turn out as foretold? The Savior's coming and the perfect life he lived, conclusively proves to us that His supreme wish was and is, that the young should be so trained in cleanliness, honor, industry and economy—prerequisites of true religion—so that in old age existence can have no terrors for them. It is then when homes, no difference how humble they are, should be heavenly habitations. In such homes meals are sweeter than ever, and their beds soft and pleasant. It is the duty of everybody to work in youth so that leisure and joy may be his, and its everybody's for the labor before the sunset of life. As there will be no almshouses, no bitter bread of grudging charity, in the world to come, there should be none here. In the future world every earnest laborer in the Master's vineyard will richly share of all the blessings due him. Hence may all work out a peaceful rest before the eternal night falls, making life so sweet, that the joys of Christmas past may be the glory of every day. BISHOPS FOR RACES AND LANGUAGES. Dear Editor:—In an article published in your paper December 14 h, 1912, I argued for the passage of the proposed amendment because of the abnormal condition of the Church owing to prejudice. I now ask whether the Church should be governed by race prejudice or by justice, by the spirit of the Master? Which ought be the stronger, our race prejudice or our religion? We decide in favor of religion. What is the remedy for prejudice? Separation, withdrawal, procession will rather increase it, and strengthen our claim that prejudice rules the Church. Prejudice now does allow us to live apart in the same Church; then it will cause us to live apart in different churches, which will be a new victory for her. She has enough victories already. All these race churches in Methodism are her victories. These are enough for her. Let not the old mother Church add any laurels to her. Denominations, as a rule, owe their existence to doctrinal and governmental difference, while different Methodisms too often owe their existence to race prejudice, which is regrettable. The best chance for her to gain another victory is in our Church. Organically speaking, we are Methodism not wrecked by prejudice. The distinguishing feature of other Methodisms is they are race churches. Other things they hold in common with us. We are now facing a condition that must be settled by the American white and the American black membership. These respective memberships must settle this question, remembering that it is one of right and not of might, or the white membership could settle it in a very short time. In the Church there is a conscience with which race prejudice must reckon. Let us discuss the question in the light of those two opposing forces. What will we, the black membership do at this critical period? We can speak only in the light of the past. For the defeat of race prejudice and for satisfaction of conscience we will do, as we have done in the past, will do more than any other body of Negro Methodists have done or are willing to do. "Jimcrow" Methodisms all around us and among us testify to this. A very long time ago they ran away under the lash of race prejudice. Since then they have censured us for not doing the same. For Christ's sake we bear their criticism, preferring to be models of His forbearance to being agents of race prejudice. We propose to do as we have done. If our white American membership will meet only a third of the way, we will give prejudice a death blow in a great Church, in the greatest Methodism. We know that this proposed amendment is an outgrowth of American prejudice, American slavery. Still we are willing to pass it as a compromise for justice, rather than to have nothing, rather than to remain as we are, rather than to be without the desired Episcopacy. We need this Episcopacy for a development of our race talent, and for a More Episcopacy for our race work. Owing to our artificially trained environment no white Episcopacy can become enough Episcopacy for our black work. We want and need More Episcopacy, and the only More Episcopacy we can have is a Black Episcopacy. The only black preacher in the Church that denies this is one who if possible would be "An Ex-Colored Man," or one that is disgruntled because of being "a misfit" in all his charges. Of course, under normal conditions, we would not accept this cheap" Episcopacy. But we are not under normal conditions and must compromise until justice has her way. This seems to be our position on the amendment. What position will our white membership assume? Will they be less or more? Numerically speaking they are able to do what they please about it. But morally speaking what are they able to do about it? We know they are not strong enough morally to give us full justice. Are they strong enough morally to give us this amendment, this compromise for justice? We will wait and see. In the meantime we propose to agitate and contend for full justice. Rev. S H. Norwood. Baltimore. Md. From Far-Off South America Continued from first page. it would all come out right. But he could not see it that way. Now today when ever a pupil comes under my control, I seek to know what play he likes best and why? By this knowledge I lead him the shortest way to the goal which we wish to reach. If I do not know the game or play which he tells me about, I ask him to lay aside the books for awhile and just tell me all he knows about the game, and I just criticise him in every possible way at his own game. Thus he becomes somewhat friendly with me and admires my common sense while I get a clear conception of his attentiveness and combativeness which I try to arouse in him at every pace. I have him to know that life is but a game and it must be played with the zeal of a thorough gambler. The prize must be won while the player must respect every rule of the game so that his skill and tenacity will prove his fate, and his strict regard for every law proves the justice of his character. And any game which is not equally just for all the players is not worth its name, should not exist (as such, and it is not worthy of a good player to cheat the game simply because the other players do. It is enough to expose the cheats and quit playing with them. Now back to the real subject. The Negro leaders have not proved that they expected to win by playing fair, and thus they lose by others playing foul. A man who fails to make a good point when he can, should he lose, will have no sympathy from the judges, but their contempt instead. This is the case with all humanity today. The leaders throw away their tricks, as they say, because they would not dare to take up stakes should they win. I say try to win at times and see, if there are not some players just as fairy as themselves. The Negro leaders have seemed not to rely upon their followers, and thus we see them forever trying to compromise with their antagonist. Then they should quit the game. Win, and then give it up like men if you have to. The Japanese, won from Russia, and when she had proved that she was the Czar's mistress, refired because Russia proved a despot rather than a sport. Now Japan is living in glory and self confidence, while Russia is in continual trouble and suspicion. She is wise enough to know that her own tricks shall cause her disgrueful end. Negroes have been so neglectful and careless with their own, that white people fear to trust them with their (the white peoples') interests. If they were not so eager to get the praise of the white man, they (the Negroes would have more of his (the white man's) confidence and respect Even your enemy hates your cowardice, or admires your courage. The most of you seem to forget that the word "race" means a contest between similar beings, in a similar set and under similar conditions. Thus you have been satisfied to bring your horse in last; to the disgust of all the judges and backers. And if any of you know what they generally do at the tracks when one willfully pulls his horse, you also have a pretty good idea what should be done to those race leaders who sell the race on the side. Negroes are born with every capability of the white brother, and in most cases are stronger in the same. But there is one thing about the Negro; he has inherited so much religion and regard for the opinions of others that he has lost self reliance. He regards the respect of the winners more than he does his own chances to win and thus when he loses, (as he must do, until he plays differently) he disguises his contestants because he did not give them a better go for their money. Now instead of Mr. Washington and others trying to cower the Negro race, they would do much better if they would develop every good quality in them. In every move that Mr. Washington has made he has always sought to belittle his people, and not only that, but he advised them to consent to be so treated, and when I was hoping that Prof. DuBois would redeem I found him tarred with the same stick. Negroes are born with every human instinct, and the only reason that they do not make greater displays of it, is that when they are not willfully held back, they have little or no encouragement. It seems to surprise some people that a Negro should be the champion boxer of the world, while I can tell you that the very white skin that we delight so much in is the truest sign of a latent weakness, and under similar conditions the Negro is the master of men in every way, and I call upon science and history to prove my assertion. Thus I appeal to you again to quit cowering your children, and let them play more and you will have better men and women. Never fear to ask them questions nor dread their answers. Let them tell you what they think, and then ask them why do they think so. Do not be too hasty in telling them that they are wrong simply because you cannot see it that way. Your child may be more than your master, so help him, don't hurt him. Suppose that Mary had punished Jesus for not sticking to her apron strings when they went up to Jerusalem? And behold the answer he gave his mother when she accosted him about his capers. Just suppose that Mary had been an American colored mother. I think that he should never have preached again, after what she had done for him. He would have been classed as a dangerous Negro right away. The Jews did berate him so much that he held his peace for the next 18 years. Napoleon played war when he was a child. Charlie, an English King, liked to read when he was a child, and in an epoch when it was thought unmanly in England for one to give his time to such trifles. Now I think that I have a scheme whereby the entire Negro race can make a better expression of its good qualities and get the approval of all races. And my plans have never been worked in our civilization among Negroes, because such conditions have never presented themselves in the same manner. I feel sure that within 25 years from the day it begins, the world will be talking much differently about Negroes to what they talked in London, England, last year. Now let those who are ready to begin a good, brave and honest work wherein there is money, honor, education and pleasure of the highest sort, please address your most humble servant, I. S. Moore, Hotel Minerva, Bahia Brazil. As I am a man who must always be governed by strict economy, you are thus asked to send cost of reply by post, which will range from 5c. to 10c. each. You will not need to do any unreasonable things to get a most wonderful result while the bulk of you remain right where you are. Only those who wish to move as I direct them are asked to correspond with me, and if you have leaders there, they can do themselves no greater favor than to cooperate with me. They will not be rebelling against any nation, nor people who wish you well. But you will gain the respect of all. Many of you who have no hopes may be well employed while you travel all over the world. Others who have worked hard to learn something will find a ready use for it at good and honorable advantages. Those who have a little money can use it with the surest possibility of good profit. No man is required to possess more than $10,000 and many or the greater portion will only be requested to have a good will to do all you can for the cause which will provide all the necessities of life for you in return while you make your own money and boss your own affairs. What you don't know will be taught to you and what you need will be furnished to you. Now the move is on and I ask you to stop talking long enough to get on too. You will not have to lose your citizenship nor make enemies of your friends. You can remain where you are and do what you are doing until you choose to move to some other place for the better at your own leisure. Your homes and businesses will be prepared for you wherever you go. You will live in first class hotels, ride in first class vehicles and have every other privilege which you may deserve and be willing to pay for. Every man will have an equal chance to get to the very top. Write at once, sending money to pay for reply, as there will be too many for me to pay from my pocket. Let us begin as we expect to end, with economy. I. S. Moore. Bahia, Brazil. POPULAR VOTE FOR PRESIDENT Wilson Polled Less Than Bryan in 1908.

Mr. Edward Veney, of Luray, Va., accompanied by his nephew, visited Mrs. Hannah Veney and her husband at their home in North Martinaburg during the Holidays. Mr. Lawrence Taylor, the fine young man who teaches school at Romney, went through here today on his way to his duties after having visited home folks in Smoketown, Md., during the Holidays. Miss Marecust Briscoe, a very popular young lady and school teacher of Harrisburg, passed through the city on Monday last en route to her work, after spending part of the Holiday season with friends and relatives in Kearneysville. We had a call the other day from Mr. Boomer, who represents the Mercantile and Physicians' Reporting Agency, Albany, New York. He is a gentleman of very pleasing bearing, knows how to get business for his employers, and impresses one as a real humanitarian. Mr. George Veney, brother-in-law of Mrs. John R. Veney, of this city, died recently in Smithfield, Ohio Mr. Veney had frequently visited in Martinsburg, where he had many friends, who will regret to hear of his demise. He is survived by his wife and six children, who have on sympathy in their bereavement. Miss Laura Tate and Mr. John Freeman were united in marriage on last Monday evening, Rev. R. R. Thompson, pastor of Dudley Baptist Church, officiating, Miss Tate formerly resided here, as did Mr. Freeman, but in future they will make their home in East Palestine, Ohio. The happy couple have the best wishes of the Pioneer Press. FROM WASHINGTON. D. C Mr. Charles Curtis, an employee of the House of Representatives was taken ill on Saturday night, December 21, and died the following Monday night at about eleven o'clock at his home on Carroll Street, S. E. He came to this city about twenty years ago from Iowa, and has held various positions under the Government here in Washington. He had always taken an active part in politics and various leagues, being President of the Personal Liberty League, which organization had its headquarters at his house at the time of his death. His sudden demise is only another reminder of the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death, or in other words, of the old adage: That in the midst of life we are in death. He left a wife, some said two, and several children to mourn his loss. Among the number of Congressmen that left the city for the purpose of spending their Holiday vacation at home, was Governor-elect Suzier, of New York, who was one of the first to pack up all of his belongings and leave for his home, where he was in seclusion, making preparation for his inaugural address and his message to the legislature. His election as governor reminds me of a true story told by one of the barbers of the House of Representatives, who had the pleasure of shaving him once in a while, if you might call that a pleasure, for he never would lay back in a chair, as other men usually do, thus giving the barber a chance, but instead, would sit upright and insist in talking all the while he was being shaved. One day he came in to be shaved and soon found the barber was nervous. "Here barber, you are nervous, give me the razor, I can shave myself." So when he had finished he said: "Now, when they beat me in my district for Congress, I will come back to Washington and learn you barbers how to shave." "The barber said he felt like telling him that he unless he learned the barber's trade better than he had learned to be a statesman he would find short nippings, as tips would be scarce. But instead of running for Congress, he ran for Governor, and was elected, and I hope its only a stepping stone to the White House, for he is yet a young man and no responder of persons. G. MENACE OF WAR STIRS EUROPE Tension so Great Peace Appears to Hang on a Thread. Emperor William Proposes Dispute Between Austria and Servia Be Arbitrated. Emperor William of Germany has asked the Austrian government to submit to an arbitration conference the dispute between that country and Servia. No answer has yet been received from Vienna, but the German emperor is hopeful that Austria will acquiesce in the hope of arbitration. No Change In Situation. No change for the worse in the international political situation brought about by the war in the Balkans is visible except insofar as the continued tension decreases the ability of diplomacy to resist a rupture. Great Britain, France and Germany all are giving counsels of moderation both at Vienna and St. Petersburg. There also is reason to believe that Great Britain has given Servia as well as Russia and France to understand that she has no interest in Servia's demand for a port on the Adriatic sea. She also has told them she has no intention of supporting Servia's claim by force o farms nor of aiding any other power to do so. The fact that the Austro-Hungarian consul at Prisend has arrived at Uskup, thus disposing of the reports of his murder, ought to be helpful, in the opinion of diplomats, in bringing about a general improvement of the situation. But this is offset by a report that Servian troops have occupied Durazzo, the principal Albanian port on the Adriatic. Dispatchos from the Continent say that nearly 5,000,000 men are under arms in Russia, Germany and Austria, and that Servia is dispatching all her available troops to the Hungarian border to repel a possible attack from Austria. One ray of hope observed by diplomats in London was a dispatch from Paris stating that conservatives there had started a counter movement against what they term "exaggerated reports" of a possible European war. Another report was that Italy also was preparing for war. The progress of the negotiations between the delegates of Turkey and of the Dalkan allies at Tchatalja is still a sealed book. In diplomatic circles in London it is stated that Turkey has presented the following as an acceptable basis for an agreement: First, no war indemnity. Second, the retention by Turkey of the territory bounded by the Maritza river, the fortress of Adrianople to be included. Third, the maintenance of the sovereignty of the sultan of Turkey in Albania. As soon as Trukey shows that she really wishes for peace, Bulgaria will, it is authoritatively declared, demonstrate her willingness to spare as much as possible Turkish susceptibilities by still further moderating her demands. In addition to not insisting on the evacuation of the Tehatalja lines in front of Constantinople by the Turkish troops and allowing the garrison of Adrianople to march out, provided guarantees are given that the troops will not engage in further hostilities, Bulgaria probably will consent to Turkey, withdrawing the artillery from that fortress. In other ways also the Bulgarian government will be prepared to do everything possible to aid in establishing a permanent peace. The danger in the general situation arises not alone from the conflicting interests of Austria, Servia and other powers, but from the possibility that Turkey, following the traditional policy of profiting by the embroilment of the great powers, may adopt an irre conciliable attitude in peace negotiations. Reports from Belgrade state that the Servian officers, who now have the upper hand, are absolutely against any compromise, and that King Peter and his cabiner, whose intimate adviser is the Russian minister, will obey their dictates.

"I suffered five years, with awful pain, due to womanly troubles," writes Mrs. M. D. McPherson, from Chadbourn, N. C. "They grew worse, till I would often faint. I could not walk at all, and I had an awful hurting in my side; also a headache and a backache. I gave up and thought I would die, but my husband urged me to try Cardui, so, I began, and the first bottle helped me. By the time the third bottle was used, I could do all my work. All the people around here said I would die, but Cardui relieved me." For more than 50 years, Cardui has been relieving woman's sufferings, and making weak women strong and well.
