Why should not the owners of
these buildings do as did 'he owners

The buildings which were torn down
were very much better buildings
then those old eye-sore shacks, ami !
the consentient loss Incurred In this

II this he inti -tmd nobody will

Perhaps the owners do not care to

A FISHY SUBJECT.
\ long time ago some scientist
claimed to have made the discovery
that a fish diet developed hraln capac
ity. stnl that consequently to become
a deep thinker and nn acute reatoner
nothing more helpful could be done
than to live largely on fish. Because
a wise man had made this discovery It
was accepted without question, and
wo have all heard it said that a fish
diet was the best for brain workers
Secretary Straus. In a speech de
livery recently before the Internation
al t'onaress In Waahtugton. revived
this old subject and repeated this old
aphorism Just why he should have
done this la not*clear, unless he was
atrahl that It would be forgotten, lie
called attention to the (act that our
forelathera who drat rauie to this
country were strong and brtiUaut men.
and that this was owluc to thetr diet
which consisted largely of fish.
He alao etplalued why a Halt diet
helped ntcn’a intnda to grow atronger,
which »i» because flwh dealt waa rich
In phosphorus. which helpa to build
up the brain tlwauea and to strougthon
thi* hone* Ho when weteuce and ob*
aenat lou agreed, or t heory aud prao
• e coincided the conclusion to which
they (minted muwt lie correct
Yet in aplte of all thi* there are
•hr pi lea They jniint out that Inproay
la only found where the p<<ople llta
largely on flah. and that thla diweaae
la entirely unknown In high and arid
region* which are n*hle*». and that
therefore a fl*h diet cannot be to ett
tra need f«i the bone* And then
they remind u* that fishermen have
never liveu distinguished fur aiettial t
excellence, except those fishwives who
gained fame for their superiority In
slinging billingsgate Also that, If a
fish diet produced mental greatness,
Eskimos and our own sea island ne
groes should all le- Intellectual giant*,
whereas they rank among the lowest
Intellectually of the people of the
earth.
Ho the labored effort of our learned
secretary of comnieroe and labor will
not be a great boost for the fish trade
However, Incidentally he explained
the relationship between fish eating
and dram drinking, which Is ingenious
and Interesting. According to Mr.
B'raiis.the eating of smoked and salted
fish by the early New Englanders
created such a thirst that, to satisfy
It, trade relations were promptly Iv
augurated with the West Indies for
rum. Out of this grew the custom of
drinking liquor, which spread until it
has become sueh a great evil that now
It is necessary to try to break it up
jby prohibition legislation.
I Without hesitation it will be-readily
| agreed that according to his own line
of urgment Secretary Straus must
himself be u great eater of fish. Such
a learned discourse could only be
evolved after deep thought by a brain
most highly developed. And also it
shows how he jg devoting himself to
the duties and responsibilities of his
office, and how wisely our statesmen
acted when they created this cabinet
office and tided this high salaried of
ficial to the national payroll.
THE CASE OF COL. STEWART.
For quite a while the case of Col.
Htewart, l\ S. A., has been promi
nently before the public. He was
sent to Fort (Irani, a remote and
almost deserted army iiost In the
Arizona desert, by order of I’resi
dent lloosevelt because, It Is alleged,
he refused to retire by request. A
great, howl was raised about this
procedure by the colonel'* champions,
who styled him Ihe American Drey
fus. The case is now given fresh
notoriety by the faet lhal Cot. Htewart
has been ordered to Washington, be
fore an examining hoard, which Is to
Investigate his physical ability or
qualifications for the service. It Is
hinted that this Is a cooked-up
scheme to formally dismiss him from
the army.
Altogether this case of Col. Stewart
affords a striking commentary on our
army. Col. Htewart lias served in
I the army a long time, lacking only
about five years of the time when,
| under the army rules, ho would be
retired. It is held that he Is "tem
peramentally unfit to command." be
ing possessed of such an unfortunate
teni|»er that he can live In peace with
nobody, and Is constantly falling-out
over trltlea with his brother officers
and civilians with whom lie comes In
contact. That such a man, who can
not command his own temper. Is un
fit to command other men can b.'
readily understood, and that the serv
ice would be beneflttcd by his retire
ment seems also plain. Ho unbear
able did his eonduct become at last
that he was asked to retire.
This be refused to do. A i lilotiel' 1
salary I* fiction a year and after ten
M'ara' service
Col. Stewart ranks twenty fifth !n
line of promotion, and If the regular
order be followed he would probably
become brigadier general before he
reached the age of retirement, when
hla salary would he $5,500 On being !
retired a colonel of ten yenrs' sorv
Ice which would he Col. Stewart's,
would receive an annual pensiou for
life of $1,150. or If he should become
a brigadier general In the meantime
hla antmal pension would be $1,125
Ho It is very plain why the cantank
erous old fellow refuse* to lay off
hi* uniform
And although he Is unlit for the
service It seems the government ea t
not get rtd of him, but must keep
him. not only to pay hint a high

Harriman’s $260,000
As yve understand Mr. Roosevelt's
defense of the Harrlman campaign
contribution—
1. It was entirely proper for Mr.
Roosevelt to solicit this money, be
muse he Intended to bunco Harriman
and did bunco him,
2. Secrecy waa necessary because
Mr Roosevelt's motives might have
been misconstrued by low-minded Iver
sons who would see In thiy transac
tion a sordid attempt on the part of
Harrlman to control the presidency
through the use of tulnted money.

t Other presidential candidates
should never be permitted to engage

For a Systematic Study of
Good Conditions.
WASHINGTON, D. C Director
George Otis Smith, of the United
States Geological Survey, has invited
officers of the leading railroads of
the country to a conference on a co
operative plan by which it is expeet
j fed the railroads will be able to save
i thousands of dollars a year. The
plan also contemplates most effective
j assistance to the government on the
part of railroads. The time and place
of the proposed conference is to be
agreed on later.
The scheme, which has already been
approved by a number of the en
gineers of the big lines, is one for
the gathering of facts as to the
amount of water flowing in the rivers
of the country tinder certain condl
i tions and in different periods of the
year. Naturally, the railroads have
i been chief sufferers from floods in the j
i basins where their tracks lie. They I
have suffered not only from damage!
to their own property, but they have j
been sued by other corporations and j
private citizens on the ground that 1
their bridges and culverts were the i
causes of flood damage. The railroad
authorities have felt that many judg
ments against tho roads might not
have been rendered if they had been
able to produce authentic figures on
floods. But they have not been able
to do this. The national conservation
commission has been advised of the
proposed plan and whatever results
come from It will undoubtedly be con
sidered by the commission at its joint
meeting with the governors of the
; states, or their representatives, here
J next December.
The survey suggests that the rail
, road compands establish gauges on
(i heir bridges and culverts and appoint
some of their employes to take daily
readings. The survey agrees to have
its experts make frequent visits to
these stations and take actual cur
rent meter measurements so that a
rating table of each channel will be
! available.
For many years the survey has
l>een studying the difference in the
1 flow of rivers in various basins in the
country. At present, it is engaged in
pulling the information gained by its
study Into shape for the use of the j
national conservation commission, to
gether with other information which;
lit is gathering especially for the in
' of the country’s natural re-1
[sources that the commission is pre-!
| paring.
The survey has born unable to ex-1
tend its observations to many regions'
where tho information would be of |
vital Importance because it lacks ;
funds. The corporation of the rail-1
roads would permit the survey to;
cover many other regions.
The expense to the railroads tin- i
dor this arrangement would be trill
ing, Ihe survey authorities say, be- j
cause the roads could designate men i
already on their pay rolls, such as i
draw tenders, lank men, or water sta
tion engineers to take the daily read
ings. On the other hand, if the snr- >
vey could be relieved of Ihe cost of
daily supervision of the gauges, it
would be able to carry on the more
technical parts of the undertaking.
The Information which the railroads ;
will obtain if this plan is put into
operation is of immense value to
them.
The survey’s figures on floods have
always been accepted by the courts
as prima facie evidence. If the be- ;
lief of the railroad authorities is well
founded, their co-operation with the
survey enabling it to extend Its oper
ations to their fields will result in big
savings to them.
The idea of co-operation as to Hoads
originated with the engineering de
partments of the railroads them
selves. Representatives of these de
partments of a number of roads held
a conference with representatives of
the survey, in Chicago last June, amt
at that time the survey agreed to in
terview the proper railroad authori
ties concerning a basis of co-opera
tion
The survey has further suggested
to the railroads that they supply it
with all information they may have
on hand concerning the character of
the various drainage areas above
j their bridges. Some of the roads
have collected, at great expense, a
large amount of valuable information,
which could be made of high value
to all the railroads if it were gather
ed together and compiled. This nta
terlal would also contribute largely
to the general study of the water re
sources of the country which the sur
vey has been carry ing out for a num
ber of years and upon which It is par
tlcularly busy just now in the com
pilation of all available information'
along these lines for the use of tn<
national conservative commission.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK GOOD.
A people who sell more than
they can buy cannot be in a Very
hard situation, whatever may be
the periods of depression and strin
gency so we can take heart of
grace from th e official figures just
given out which show that during
the first seven months of the pres
ent year we have bought thirty
per cent less than during th e cor
responding months last year, while
at the same time our exports
show an increase of one hundred
and seventy-nine millions as com
pared with the same months last
year.
This gives us ever y assurance
of a very satisfactory trade bal
ance, when the business accounts
for the year are made up, says the
Atlanta Journal
On the whole we are told that
the substance of the trade reports
for the week, submitted by the
mercantile agencies, is that trade
and Industrial activity continues
to increase very noticably with
every indication of permanent im
provement. *
Here at hom e th e same optimis
tic sentiment prevails. A few
days ago a prominent business man
from south Georgia was quoted as
saying that from present indica
tions thcr e would b e the greatest
car famine within a short time
that the state has ever seen. This
prediction was based directly upon
t»6 lumber industry, but it is gen
eftlly accepted as being equally
true of all other lines of business.
The uncertainty which prevails
as to th e future of freight rates
Is about the only disturbing fac
tor these is today in the business
and industrial life of our people. If
we could be sure that the existing
status would not b e disturbed by
an Increase in rates during the
period when business is doing its
best to recover, we would soon
forget that there had been any
such thing as a panic.
Merchants and manufacturers
are meeting the situation with
confidence, however, and good fall
trade is firmly anticipated.
ANNOUNCEMENT!
