TWO GENIAL SENATORS

From the Washington Times.
 There are two senators who are never too busy to stop and exchange greetings with persons who approach them in the proper spirit. And they are opposite types of men. One Is Senator Morgan of Ala bama and the other is Senator Mason of illinois. Neither of these men is ever in too much of a hurry to discuss current affairs. Senator Morgan is grave, courte- ous, and dignifed, fine type of the southern gentleman of the old school; Sen ator Mason is free, easy, and jolly-always affable and jovial

THE PORTO REGAIN SUBSIDY

From the Indianapolis Fress.
 Why should $2,OoO,OOO or any other sum be turned over to the president to be spent at his good pleasure for the Porto Ricans? That is the grant of a war power; it is enouSl to give it in time of war;, Why ask it now in a time of absolute peace and when congress Us in session-ready to perform all its constitutfonal duties in the premases-perhaps more?
 In order to smooth the way for one dan- gerous precedent, the president under the Suise Of justice and humanily, asks con- gress to set another dangerous precedent. that of one-man power in a republican goy- ernment, in a. dime of profound peace. And a republican house of representatives, car ried away by the wild spirit of partisan slap, does his biddfng, which is exactly contrary to what he asked three moutq,s ago.

HOW HE-LIVES ON UNUooKED FOOD

New York Better tnnkhe Chicago Tribune.
 Cooks and cooking stoves will become unknown in household economy If D-. Ju- Han P. Thomas ideas of what constitutes a square meal are ever generally adopted. pr. Thomas Is a practicing physician. For seven years he and his family have thrived on uncooked food. He gave his ideas on hygienic eating before the Metaphysical club several nights ago and astounded his audience. The doctor today, in explaining his theories, said:
 We eat food for two reasons" he said. pleasure and vitality. We receive the vi- tality from the living cells in the food we eat If we cook the food we destroy two- thirds of these cells, and we get no benefit from them. We cannot build up live cells from dead ones. There you are.

I returned to the wheat and became well. The experiment proved the accuracy of my calculation so well that little cooked food has passed my lips since that time"
 The doctor was married two years ago, and his wife became enthusiastic over his diet.
 'fOutside of coffee and tea not a grain of cooked food has passed onr lips for fif- teen months," she said.
 The baby, Odin, a year old, toddled about the room shocking his lips over a raw sweet potato.
 That's a raw food baby for you," said the doctor. Cooked food has never pass ed his lips, and he has never been sick a day in his life"
 ''Wlhat does your dinner consist off" was asked
 We always have cereals in some form oatmeal or crushed wheat softened in wa ter. Then we have a variety of fruits and all kinds of vegetables. Our bread is pomed wheat uncooked. We seldom have meat. It is, unpalatable when not cooked, and the cooking destroys much of it's vi- tality."

 It seems to have been settled that the mysterious S3O,Oe0 of which nobody claims to be the rghtful possessor in the Montana senate bribery case shall be turned over to the Montana authorities to be ultimately used for school purposes The witness who swears that this money was paid eTeT to him as a brbe doesp't want it, and those ii'om whom he claims to have received 1t solemnly swear that the money is not theirs and that 1t never came from them And so the money goes into the state s educational fund. It might be good idea to have it set apart as the basis for the endowment of a chair of political morality. If there is anything needed in the line of public instruction in Montana it is in this direction.

 On the 4th the stores of Messrs. Julius Haas, M Yaretzky, W. J. Monet and J. Shiffman, at Gainesville, were entered by Burglars. The iron safes were shattered by dynamite. These burglaries seem to be on the increase, and loudly call for pre- ventive measures in the shape of an in crease of the constabuiary force. One con- stable in beat and one town consta ble in incorporated towns is a burlesque on an effective po.iee force The people need some practical legislation. MT. August Schiffman, the manager of MT.

The door of Schiff- mans safe was blown ten feet away.

Joining the Three Americas.

The Nicaragua canal is altogether desra- ble, but it is to great extent on east-and- west lines. It looks towards Manila and Hong Kong more than 1t does toward Lima or Santiago or Buenos Ayres. We also need north-and-south line of communication, and this must be a railway that will bind together North, Central and South Amer icas.
 The government not long ago sent com mission to investigate the route for it. and the report of that commission shows that a wholly feasible way exists, and that a great trade waits such line. Unlike Cecil Rhodes line from the Cape to Cairo CT the line through Siberia, trade is ready at hand It does not have to be created; 1t is not matter of the imagination. The Siberian Nine is to be given business through iml- grafton, and Cecil Rhodes line is to get business from the moon or elsewhere line that joins the Americas will find trade in every district it passes through. Some of the districts are-thickly populated, and all do a great deal of exporting.
 The road would have been built long ago had res eacn of the numerous governments concerned been jealous Of neighboring gov ernments, and all jealous of Anglo-Sagon America. Such jealousies are unfounded and unreasonable and the time has come for their disappearance as active obstacles to the worlds progress. Latin America should wake up. It is falling behind Africa and the back districts of Asia. It is the most backward section of the world, New Guinea alone excepted. It should wake up.

Jackson County to Have Good Roads

From the Stevenson Chronicle
 As has been stated before, the board of pike road commissioners for this county have sold $75,O00 worth of bonds to be used in building pike roads. The interest is at the rate of per cent Applications have been made, we understand, to buy the rest of the bonds as provided for in the pike road bill at the same rate of interest, but the commissioners wiM not entertain another proposition just at present. They think it best to expend what money they have gotten out of this sale this year and let the legislature this fall amend the brill providing for the setting apart of a certain amount of the taxes for the purpose of paying the interest on the bonds.
