IX THK REVOLUTION' ZONK. ,
Mexico has so largely mo
nopolized tho attention which
Americans have given Latiu-Auieri
cau affairs for tho last three years
thai it has nearly escaped noticj
that many revolts and military at
'■a-ckj upon the civil authorities
haw proved tho revolution zone of
tropical America to be as wide as
ever. Its condition continues to be
both dangerous and discouraging.
Mexico by no means stands alone
in its troubles.
Venezuela has a civil war in full
progress. There has been the
usual fighting aud looting and un
rest and uucerainty have had the
inevitable effect in checking trad
and undustry and making the ex
istence of the poor still more diffi
cult and wretched. Santo JDomin
tgo likewise is afflicted with a civil
war on a vastly smaller scale than
that in Mexico but serious enough
for so petty a country. In Peru
the army officer who led tho at
tack upon President Billiughurst
last winter and exiled the lawfully
chosen head of the national govet :i
ment, has teen formally chosen
president himself. His revolu
tion has worked out the results he
hoped or from the first.
Such conditions must be changed
bef(-r« the states of tropical Ameri
ca cau win their way to stable
civilization of the type w hicii
modern progress demands. They
cannot be true republics while the
civil authority is weaker than the
military officers, small aid in
ferior though the army almost in
variably is. A revolution instead
of an election, secret plotting sup
planting an open canvass for votes,
force smothering argument—such
conditions cannot exist where a
free people show fitness for
freedom.—Cleveland Leader.
UNFAIR TO UOOSKVKLT.
In the bitterness of Mr. Savage
Laudor's resentment aroused
by Colonel Roosevelt's criticism of
bis geographical data concerning a
part of tho interior of Brazil, that
Knyiiii traveler and explorer pub
licly insinuated that the famous
American who fouud fault with
L,,.idor's work had "fakod" liis ac
count of his own discoveries and
hardships in the South American
vilds. He intimated that Colono
Uocscvelt had uot been ill of jungle
ffcvtv, that he had not suffered
fro.. ;;u abscess caused by an iu
jui> to his leg, and that he had
am'orgono no privations in the
w 'lo.c-ruess.

v. ho had been with liim on the

ease. and arduous labors of the
Bras han forests and rivers had

Co.onel Roosevelt is no vain and

Ridicule may be ;in evidence of wit
or bitterness and n. y gratify a little
mind or an ungenerous temper, but i»
no test of reason, tr . h or manhood.
Ridicule, besides K- tig conscious and
unconscious, may ;■ > be indirect as
well as direct, tic :iive as well as
positive, paralyzing as well as amus
ing. And myriad in number and land
are tbe ridiculous suggestions mad
and being made by the enemies and
victims of the tmtU order concerns in
the hope of stopping their or ward
march of progress
Do merchants always appreciate
their advantage? Would a friend of
the merchant o;- dealer have sent his
first order to a stranger who showed
pictures instead of goods, who talked
on paper instead of face to face, who
demanded pay In advance instead of
allowing a more unlimited credit had
the merchant improved his advan
tages? ^
Ought to Emulate Rivals.
It would seem that after one espe
rlence of long delays, q:iite common
and to a great extent unavoidable in
trading with mail order houses, after
one experience of putting things to
gethcr for himself, after one expe
rience of waiting for a missing part,
the friend would not have taken th«
trouble to order by mall from a stran
ger had the local merchant or dealer
always improved his opportunities.
Everything that happens to us leaves
some trace behind It; everything con
tributes luipere£pti_bly to form us. Vet
often it i ilnnserous to take n strict
ncv'iint r t. for either we grow
proud or downcast and
jurious in (hi ir . onse<piouces. Always

tinuing to supply old ones.
In a cer: : :> Indiana town n young
man ordered a heating stove, price
When the stove came he was
very lunch disappointed. The stove
was small, while the picture in the
catalogue made it appear large and or
nr. mental llad this young man visit
ed his local dealer and Inspected the
SS.95 stove he would not have bought
it. but would have selected ont for
$12 <>r Sit and would have got the
right hind ami one that would have
satisfied his needs.
A .Minnesota fanner ordered five
rolls of itrirbed wire. After it came
and he Ik id paid the freight he discov
ered Hint be could have bought the
same identical wire from his local
dealer nnd c nld have saved SI, also
tuucb time and trouble.
Mail Order Fence lii Woodshed.
Another ui.m living iu a village or
dered some wire fencing from a pic
ture in a catalogue, and when It came
it was so cheap looking that his pride
would uot allow Mm to distiguro his
ground^ with such a fence, so he stor
ed it in his woodshed and bousht what
he wanted from his local dealer.
A lady in a little town In Missouri
sent to one of the large mail order
houses for a pair of shoes, inclosing
$1.1)7 with her order. After two weeks
the shoes came by freight: charges
were 25 cents, which she paid. After
taking the shoes home she found they
did not lit. so she repacked them and
sent them back by express, nnd after
another two weeks' wait another pair
of shoes came by freight with more
"charges attached. To the lady's dis
may, these shoes were no nearer a tit
than the first pair. She then gave up
In despair and visited her local dealer,
crediting her in vestment of §2.50 to
experience.
We should like to suggest to the eoti
siimer tliat he l>o honest with himself;
buy at home: help support his own
town; make his owr. home more val
uable. Let Mr. Mail Onler Man sell
his good tilings In his own town. In
stead of his fooling you. you fool him
by trading a! home.
Let each community become a co
operative commonwealth to the extent
that Its-citizens shall work together to
build up and sustain that community,
working with neighbors—competitors
included—for the home, town, city,
county aud state: let civic pride and
imliition bo fostered/ let the profes
sional "grouch" and disturber of the
public peace be frowned down; let the
Incorrigible offender against the prin
ciples of square do i'.ing be thrown to
the lions «f public ro'idemnntion.

don't ridicule.

flammation of the bladder. The
trouble was so bad at times that 1
couldn't keep on my fe:-L There
were torturing pains in my back and
I was so lame that X could hardly
stoop or straighten. When I sat
down, I couldn't got up without a
groat effort. I was all run down. I
didn't rest well and a frequent
action of my kidneys bothered me.
I tried many dorters, but their
medicino didn't do mo a.ry good.
At last I p-ot to 'ising Plan's Kid
