When Tho Moultrie Olmorver naya: *'A good way for the railroads to keep their affaire nut of polities Is 1o trv to keep their attorneys and of ficials out vii politics," It makes a hit—a popular hit. Do the railroads want to keep out of polities? The loud cry that the railroads nre being nagged, halted arid teased by tile politicians is all nonsense. No matter hoK<* willingly a poll tlrian may Incline toward agitating It li not easy to create antagonism without cause. If there Is Indignation in the hearts of the people against the railroads it cannot lie laid at the dttor of tho demagogues so much as at the door of the railroads them solves There is no inherent antagonism between lUo people ami the railroads as those who arv champions of the mads assume Everybody knows that a good railroad Is the greatest po slide benefit,to any section and any locality. So w*dl has thla boon understood In the ] ast that every IKissthie persuasion and concession has been extended the mads They have been, and are now, literally courted by communities and loenll t'er for this reason It was not until 'he people av»k" to a realization that the railroad- were reaching out to dl dect legislation and domlnotn govern ment that the spirit of caution and suspicion w«s born The demuKoguon end politicians did tint create this spirit The railroads created It and the d magoguen have put It to their own use. jnst ss they make uae of cm i public realisation and every public sentiment, so far as they are able to do so. If the railroads want to see this feciii g forgotten, let them keep shy of the legislative halls and let them withdraw from the field of politics. They need not fear that the people will harm them. Their prosperity nnd the extension oT their lives Is too i Itallv necessary to the growth and devekiptnent for the country for that, tun the trouble seems to he that the roads want more than justice. They want favor and privilege which the people do not longer wish to accord them. SOBRIETY AT VERA CRUZ. When the Secretary of the Navy gave the order that the w-lne mess should sktddoo from the Navy, there was a cry of great Indignation at this effort to curb nnd Infringe upon the personal rtsht of every officer to be fuddle Ids brain and stimulate his Imagination as he choee. But when It was reported that the United Slates Marines had deported themselves with the strictest sobriety and that not a single ease of drunk enness had tieen reported or known tn the occupation of Vera Crus, there wae a general expression of pride and gratification a limns American cltl sens. M e know of nothing more to the credit of the United Slates Navy than tlie gentlemanly restraint which has •men evidenced in the behavior of the Marines In Mexico. It ta one thing to right bravely and another thing yet .to do credit to one's country, when there Is no call except that of pru dence and circumspection and all hats should go off before these men who honor their country tn laith way a We could not look for a continua tion of this fine standard of conduct, unless the officers, aa well as the men hold It up Perhaps tt may aeein a little |>aternal In this government to dictate to Its Navy officers In the mat ter of what they shall drink, but when we realise that there Is scarcely a successful business corporation In the country that does not make this re quirement for the sake of efficiency, we must admit that the Oovermoent Is right tn demanding that th»a« who are entrusted with such great respon sibilities shall avolo *»•# the kiiili laiae of folly. iilir sglf r |^'sSl^)iW»Mte||(||S||SS!

VITALIZING BCHOOL BAVING, Down In Roston, Mass., there Is a school principal, Kenilrn Wins low, who, having found that saving among pupils In his gchool (as else where) needs vitalising, tried a new plan. He realized that his school like most schools and colleges and universities fall to tearh the rudiments of thrift. So he called on the Amerilean Society for Thrift for one hundred Thrift buttons, little white buttons with a portrait of Benjamin Franklin. Then he proposed a plan for organising a "Stearns District" branch of *be American Society for Thrift. Any pupil above the sixth grade Is eli gible for membership and a button, who lias saved at least two dollars, an shown by his bunk account, or by equally good proof, which Includes children who are earning and helping to support the family; who have an Mi per cent mark or over In effort and deportment, and who are testified for by their teachers as pot being wasteful of the school material or tlmo In school. When another school principal at Dowell, Mass., received some Thrift buttons many school savings books which hud not been seen for months made their appearance. The savings of tho week trebled other towns and cities are trying the same plan. Children can be Interested In true thrift, but saving pennies Is not likely to gain much headway unless the getting of pennies end the results of saving are made Interesting. The "farm” Is what tlin school children of the Hrynnt School in Chicago call a vacant lot tn tho heart of the city, which has been loaned by tho owners to the agricultural classes. The city forester gave the pro ject a little boost hv having the “farm" plowed, and 60 or 70 children were alloted Individual plots of ground, and 60 or 70 separate crops of corn, beds, radishes, tomatoes and lettuce were raised. This year these hoys had tomatoes started under glass In the school yard In March and us the leaves untold the picture of the printing outfit which the hoys am going to buy with the proceeds from the sale of young plants, grows more real. The hoys have long been wanting this outfit, and lo what ends of thrift It will lead no one ran tell. “Honest Joe's 9 ' Philosophy When Pastorlsa stepped from the police-rt bench yesterday he forgot taxation for awhile and put down tn writing what he thinks of the modern Idea of justice. I'antorlxa got hts Idea of justice from a different plane than the man-made law that enused the arrest of those poor wretches. And this Is what ho says: ”1 found while acting as police Judge that many men were arrested because they were so unfortunate as to be out of work They were not guilty of any wrong doing; they were not Interfer ing with the liberty of anybody else; they were not trying to steal from anyone; they were not trying to de stroy property; they were simply Idle and nothing else, yet they were ar rested upon a charge of vagrancy and the time of the court was taken up in listening to the evidence tn the case. "I can remember when I was a young man tn this same city that t was out of work for three months; I was really a vagrant In the meaning of the law and If 1 had been arrested during that time and placed tn the city jalt, no doubt the experience would have so embittered me against law and Justice that I might now be-a very different man from what I am. So let's not arrest men simply because they are out of work, but rather let us devote our thoughts to devising ways and means for giving work to the unu PATENTS TO GEORGIANS. Washington, D. C. —Mmm.

"Again 1 find many men arrested because they were drunk All of the arrests for drunks were poor men out of Jobs. I was In a hotel lobby one night and saw %n Influential citizen of the rlty drunk and staggering through the lobby. A policeman saw* him; a friend of the man took him by the arm, led hint out of the hotel nnd put him tn a cab and sent him home. I say. that when a policeman sees an unfortunate man drunk. If lie Is not dlaturhlng the peore, lie should first use every effort to gel that man home, even to the extent of ordering the pa trol wagon to get him home. Instead of to the city Jail, and thua save the man from the stigma of lying Inthe city Jail over night. " ‘Man's Inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn.' We who have plenty, we who have the 'eurth and the fullness thereof,’ cannot con ceive of the thought that possesses a man who has not a five-cent piece to buy a crust of bread or provide him self with a night's lodging. So let us remember that we can reduce the number of criminals by providing work for the workless and It Is as much the duty of a city to devise ways and means to provide work for the workless ns tt Is to provide finely paved streets for the automobiles and vehicles of the more fortunate tn our midst.” KEY WEST CIGAR. Professor Van Dnisn was vainly trying to unlatch his front door with a cigar, to the amusement of a friend who had accompanied him home lo talk over the fourth dimension. "!*ook here, man.” sail the friend when he could talk without betraying his amusement, "do you \no» what you're trv Ing *o open that d 'or with*" The professor looked, then pave a start of dismay.
