President and Politics.

" We have too much of a tendency in America to deify mere smartneß", intra IntdL'eoiual acumen, unaccompanied by morality,' very truly says President Roosevelt in the New Liberal Bevitw,. He then proceeds: -After honesty, as tht foundation of the citizenship that counts, in business or in politics, mast com* courage. Yon mast have coarage not only in battle, bat also in olvlo life. We need physical and we need moral coarage, Neither ie enough by itself. Yon need moral coarage. Many a man has been brave physically who has flinched morally. Yon must feel in yon a fiery wrath against evil. When yon see a wrong, instead of feeling shocked and hart, and a desire to go home, and a wish that right prevailed, yon should go oat and light until that wrong is overcome* Yon »o«t feel ashamed if yon do not stand up for the light as yon see it; ashamed if yoa lead a soft and easy life and fail to do you duty. Yon must have coarage. If yon do not, the honesty is of no avail. Bnfc honesty and coarage, while indispensable, are not enough for good citizenship. [ do not care how brave and honest a man is ,' if he is a fool he is nob worth knock* ing on the head. In addition to coarage and honesty yoa mast have the saving quality of commonsense. By the influence of a President who outspokenly asserts his strong faith in the parity and morality of citizenship, the people of the great Republic will be encouraged in the anti corruption policy, of which the overthrow of Tammany was a conspicuous victory,

An Appalling Evil.

(Prom the I'all Mall Gazette) •No English need apply 1 is the new cry in East London wherever there are tenements to let. It is not that the land lords are foreign philanthropists anxious to welcome their own compatriots. These autocrats of tumble down property are merely keen men of businers, to whom nationality and religion are bagatelles. They find it i more profitable to let to over crowding and unsanitary aliens than to the decent living British born. So the EasG End worker, already harried by railway and street extensions, forced to live within reach of the docks, and &nbsisting at best on a precarious wage, is boing slowly but sorely evicted from his apology for a home and hounded Into the street. The foreign aemi-crlmlnal element of Sobo and Saffron Hill is growing more unmanageable every day. The other foreign lower class colonies in oar midst prove as obstinate as ever in sanitary matters, even with an epidemic rife among m. The class of sweated aliens has broken bounds in Honndsditch and Whitechapel, and Ib now making steady inroads into the congested districts of Spicalfields and Bethnal Green. Ib Is easy to incur the charge of exagge ration in dealing with the Indescribable, but there are conditions prevailing now in the parish of Stepney equal to the worst pages in the novels of Dickens and Charles Kingsley.

CLEMENT, of the 1 T.L Taiti, who is in tho employ of the Hutt Oonnty Council, relates hia most rera-rkahle case as follows :—" To Pro prietor Plantekoa. Sir,—l feel it my duty both to you and also suffering humanity to make known the benefit i havo derived from the use of Plantekoa. I have been nnder treatment for years for my kidneys, liver and chronic indigestion. Under examination the Doctors thought I had a floating kidney, and prescribed medicine** and lotions for treatment, and in fact I have lodine and other things in the houae now that was supplied to paint my back. In addition to tha complaint mentioned I nsed to suffer ab timet) most excruciating pains from neuralgia in the side and back.! Beside the doctor's treatment I have tried almost countless Patent Medicines in the effort to get relief. I can honestly say thau Plaktbkoa has made a new man of me, has cared the ailments above referred j to, and I am now enjoying better health! | than I have done for years. Any further : information will be gladly furnished if i desired. I wish to say also that Plantekoa J Ointment haa proved a wonderful friend to me. About six years ago after playing j in a football match my body became covered with pimples, which turned to chronic eczema. Daring those years I cannot describe the suffering canned nor yet count the nnmber of ointments and the like that I tried to relieve this terrible complaint. When I used to perspire at ray wotk, tbe smarting, itching and yet J burning irritation wonld nearly drive me j crazy. I have 'csed Plantekoa Ointment with result. I have not the slightest trace of the complaint left, and my skin is as clear as that of a little child. While in a very heated condition I pat on another Footballer's jersey in mistake for my own, I do not know if that had anything to do with starting my complaint, but a singular fact was that the irritation commenced at thab time, and covered my body, arms and neck, while my face, legs and hands were free. Suffice to say that whatever way It' oame Plsntekoa has cared it completely. It will be seen by my letter that I have had my share of suffering, and really the condition I have been in life was not worth living. After my experience PL iNTEKOA STANDS WITHOUT A RIVAL."

THE following unsolicited Testimonial by a gentleman well known in Ashbnrton speaks for ituelf :— Masterton, August 28,1901. Ross Antidote Company, Dear Sirs,—l feel ib mj duty to give yon this enclosed testimonial In favor of Ross Antidote for purifying the blood; I havo been a great sufferer for many years from ulcerated stomach, indigestion, eto, My life was a perfect misery, and I was almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying different medical men and j remedies, of which I had tried almost; every known one but yours, and one day some eighteen months a?o a gentleman came into the shop where I was employed. He remarked 'Jack, yon look very ill' (and , you may depend I was), Be added, * Will you take some medicine if I procure lb; I replied I will take anything. He brought me a bottle of yoar Antidote, ana I took it accordingly as directed, and to my delight I began to get well, and after taking three large bottlea I was a new man —thanks to your great discovery. I always keep it by me, and find a faw doses occasionally keep me In perfect health, and I wish yon the success with it that such a medicine merits.

A Hard Day's Work. WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE-A OHANGI IN. THE LIFE OP MANY AN ASHBURTON OITIZEN, The prospect of a hard days work gives a man a shudder when he is sick. Be would not mind if he was well. Hare yon not often had your deepest sympathise aroneed by the face of an invalid at a window? Perhaps the day may be exceptionally pleasant to yon with yoar abundance of health, but if the slightest breeze awoke the trees it would be too much for the face at the window. And there are diseases just as exasperating, where one is as much an invalid as the one pictured above. Kidney complaint has its miseries unknown except to those who have suffered them. We are glad to say there is much less of lb in Ash bur con now that Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are so well known. Read how one citizen was benefited. Mrs Jas Parker, Roach Rd, Trevorton, this town, says ;— * 1 could cot do my housework or washing because of backache not long ago. As soon as ever I started the pains became so very agonising that I would have to lie down. This was a very nasty state of affairs for me, and it would probably have continued only i procured a box of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills at the Ashburton Drug Go's in East Street. I am now perfectly free of the painß and fit for anything in the way of honse work. I only took one course of the pill* and the cure was permanent. They are splendid as a tonic and agreeable to take/ Success has brought op many Imitations of Doan's Pills, but there is nothing 'just as good' as the remedy which oared Mrs Parker, therefore ask for Doan's Backache Kidney Piilfl. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are sold by ail chemists and storekeapers at 3s per box (six boxes 16s 6d), or will be posted pn receipt of price by the proprietors, Foster, McLellan Co., 76 Pitt Street. Sydney, N.S.W. Bat be sure they are Doan's.
