OPINIONS OF

The city papers are all right if
you want them, but it is the local
paper that advertises your busi
ness, your schools, your churches
your numerous societies, sympa
thizes with you in afflictions and
rejoices in your prosperity. In
short it is your local paper that
mentions the thousand and one i
tems in which you are interested
during the year, and which you do
find in the city papers.—Marietta

As the time approaches for a so
lution of the convict problem the
plan of working the convicts of the
state upon the public roads is be
ing agitated with renewed energy.
To put them all upon the roads
would be burdensome to the peo
ple, who are taxed too much al
ready. The penit3ntiary institu
tion should be made self-support
ing, and the best suggestion The
News has yet seen offered is that
the convict force be diveded be
tween state farms and road work.
The farm force could be made to
support the whole gang and pay
the expenses of the civil engineer
ing, the guards and the officers.—

Are Corporations Soulless?
The opinion that ccrpo ations—
railroad corporations especially—
' are not possessed of as high a sense
' of honor in business transactions
• as they should be. Touching this
• matter the following opinion on
’ the subject recently expressed by
E. B. Stahlman, who has had a
■ large and varied experience with
■ railroad people, will be of interest.
After the supreme court had deci
ded that the railroad pool, or asso
r ciation formed to maintain rates
- was unconstitutional, a plan by
’ which the decision might be evad-
■ ed was under consideration and it
• was suggested to Col. Stahlman
that each road would file its rates
with a statistical bureau which
would promulgate them. Col.
Stahlman replied that “all was
left to the honesty of the railroads,
an unfortunate feature of the sit
uation. Here is an interest repre
senting more millions than any
other in the I nited States, yet
there is less conservatism, less
honesty in the management than
almost any other.”
i That is rather a saltty opinion
jet it is one that seejns to prevail
very generally,

Peter Cooper, who died worth
many millions of dollars, gave
some good advice to the business
men of every town when he said:
“In all towns where a newspaper
is published every man should ad
vertise in it, if nothing more than
a card stating his name and the
business he is engaged in. It near
ly always pays the advertiser, and
besides, lets the people at a dis
tance know that the town in which
you reside is a prosperous commu
nity of business men, and that peo
ple may settle in it with a chance
to make a living. Never pull in
your sign in a home newspaper
while you expect to do busipess.”

There seems to have been a con
tagion of the sentiment which
prompted many people to celebrate
the last day of Cochran’s bar by
imbiding more freely than usual
or laying in a supply in jugs and
bottles Some of the tee-totalers
were even seen to take a drink, and
imagine the writer’s surprise when
strolling with a friend along one
of Madison’s thoroughfares to find
a sweet young lady attired in all
the paraphernalia of the veteran
drink-mixer—white apron and
sleeves rolled up—standing on the
front veranda of a home with a
pitcher and glass in hand and dis
pensing beverage to a circle of el
derly ladies, of which circle the
fair drink-mixer was the center
and chief attraction. All eyes
were fastened on her, and so impat
iently did each one await her turn
to receive the g ass that the fair
dispenser always found the eager
recipent standing up. The glass
and pitcher hz.d gone the round
three times when the fair drink
mixer became aware of our ap
proach and beat a hasty retreat.
Through consideration for them
we pretended not to have observed
the proceedings. It all goes to
show how contagious sentiment is
and how uniform is human nature.

How To Find Out.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indi
cates an unhealthy condition of
the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is positive evidence of
kidney trouble. Too frequent de
sire to urinate or pain in the back
is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of or
der.
What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowl
edge so often expressed that Dr.
Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great
kidney remedy, fulfills every wish
in relieving pain in the back, kid
neys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passages. It cor
rects inability to h -’d urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being com
pelled to get up many times dur
ing the night to urinate. The
mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
