VOL. XXX. The President’s Policy. Macon Telegraph What the country at large likes about President Roosevelt,accord ing to the Brooklyn Eagle . (Ind. j) em .), is his willingness to ap point the men suggested by the party organizations in the various states only when such men are fit, and his determination to go to the ranks of the Democrats when the hunt for the “fit” requires such a course. The Eagle may well add that such a programme cannot be followed long by the president before the spoilsmen will be “snarling at his heels.” Such harsh demon stations need not greatly pain the president’s ear, however, if, as the Eagle promises, the performances vjill be accompanied by the congratu lations of the rest of the country, regardless of party” on the “wis dom and patriotism, to say noth ing of the business sense, of his policy •” Thus will virture be rewarded and vice rebuked in the gbod old way so pleasing to every novel reader and theatre-goer. But it is to be feared that such a pros pect is too good to be true. The trouble is that the “spoilsmen” arejnot an inconsiderable, class ready to back down at the first frown from the public. They and the whole tremendously powerful party machine are one. To have the whole party organization snar ling at his heels is more than even the gallant Rough Rider can stand, and the president is not likely often to extend his search for the “fit” as far as the Demo cratic ranks. He has done it in the South in several instances, but it will be less easy to do it in the North: That he is well stock ed with both courage and good in tentions, however, few people doubt.

For seventeen years he bad been making false returns and escaping taxation upon one hundred thousand dollars. The money which he had thus saved was really taken from -the pockets of those who were over-burdened, and yet his conscience would doubtless prevent his stealing a neighbor’s pocket-book or other property. Why is it that a tax- dodger can be blind to the effect of his conduct and to the moral principle involved?—The Com moner. Astounding Discovery From Coopersville, Mick., comes word a of wonderful discovery of a pleasant tasting liquid that when used before retiring by any one troubled with a bad cough al ways ensures a good night’s rest. “It will soon cure the cou^h too,” writes Mrs. S.

Notwithstanding a widely cur rent rumor that the Rev. Irl R. Hicks was dead, he never was in aetter health, and never did a harder and more successful year’s work than that just closing. He has just completed his large and splendid Almanac for 1902 and, with his staff of able helpers, has brought his journal, Word and Works, justly forward into inter national reputation. For a qua- ter of a century Mr. Hicks has grown in reputation and useful ness as the people’s astronomer, and forecaster of storms and the character of coming seasons. Nev er were his weather 'forecast so sought after as now, his timely warning of a serious drouth this year having saved the people from loss and suffering. Millions of bushels of wheat were harvested through his advice to plant crops that would mature early. The American people will certainly stand by Prof. Hicks, when it costs them so little and the bene fits are so great. His fine Alma nac of 200 pages is only 25c, and his splendid family journal is on ly one dollar a year including the Almanac. Send to Word and Work Pub. Co., 2201 Locust St., St. Louis, Mo. Doctors differ very often and widely. Some English doctors sav that the increased consump tion of sugar has added material ly to the physical development and healthfulness of the people of Great Britain, while we send tons of candy to the Philippines because the doctors say it is good for the soldiers. But Dr. Patch- en, of New York, says that if the consumption of sugar in this country were reduced 90 per cent in one generation the doctors would be reduced in numbers 50 per cent, and two-thirds of the drug stores would be shut up. In the meantime, while there is such a difference of opinion among the doctors, the average American will stick to his or tfer sugar and eat a lot of it. has not come into favor for re planting. The immense losses from the great frost have impov erished the owners, and there is a probability that renewed work there must be undertaked by new men. The fault about the old svste m was that the orange tree was treated as an animal, The owner would watch it grow the year round, sell his crop and no thanks to the tree. Although it was per fectly well known that occasional frosts were certain, no thought was’given to the protection of the tree. It did not occur to the own er that a grove bringing him in $5,000 a year was worth an ex penditure of a few hundred dol lars in tarpaulin covers, and a lit tle vigilance in watching the ad vent of frost. This is a work to which the capitalist of the future will lend his attention, and then Florida will become again one mighty orange, grove.

The Harvest ’ Season The Georgia Legislature has adopted a resolution authorizing the Governor to appoint a Com mission to provide for -the erec tion in the Capitol at Washing ton of the statues of two of Geor gia’s noble sons, the expense to be met by popular subscription. Over twenty years ago the Legislature passed a resolution that Georgia should be represented in the stat uary hall by statues of James Oglethorpe, the founder of of the State, and Dr. Crawford W. Long, the reputed discoverer of anaes thesia ; but no further action was taken. Shelbina (Mo.
