THOSE WHO DRIVE
Their Splendid Opportunities For
 Showing Good Manners.

During the muddy season of the last two days n number of people have just ly criticized the thouShtless but inex- cusablc conduct of many who ride or drive. The conduct complained of is the failure of the riders or drivers to slow up whan they aprcach a cross walk, which should always be done, unless the way is entirely clear.
 A number Of Instances can be cited within the past two days where ladies have had their drpses s?lattcrcd over with mud, and one lady yesterday re- ceivcd an unexpected consignment of mud in the dainty trimmings of Q fif- teen dollar hat. all through the stu pidity of careless driver. Many cleanly gentlemen have been wearing miniature mud ties on the.r shirt fronts and q storm wave of profanity has followed ',he gentle rain.
 Those who Grve are probably just as well bred as those who walk. and mean no harm. but 1t is more easy for man to be careless than thoughtful, and about the only thing driver thinks about is not to run over anybody. It
 
 slushy the hoof os a horse filings mud a great deal further in front Of him than it GCes behind or on cl, her side of him. His foot comes down at an angle that throws rather than congresses the mud. and if d horse is trotting ne will sometimes throw mud fifteen or twenty feet in front of him. Drivers should nc. be too keGn to make records Gn crowded stree's. during muddy days. anyway. Crossings are some times had at best, and pedestrians are of necessity less active than in clear weather.
 It is a scrt of general belief among Grivers in country towns that they own the streets and the pedestrian should keep tO the walk or take chances. As a matter of fact the pedestrian has the right of way, and 3n pppulous places there are usually policemen at the crossings who impress this on the minds of the drivers. On thc other hand there is no one who will not get out of the way of horse when he sccs him and has an opportunity to do So.
 Pedestrians, too, have their faults, and sometimes stand on the cross N'NiiAsf l' NtIih hbNlI G4OpSI is on the sidewalk, but even though they err in this respect the driver. if he be a well bred gentleman will suffer the imposition rather than run over them or splash mud on thsm. It is un- safe to G.Ive up rapidly to one whose back is turned, taking it for granted that he will move on before the horses reach him. Far better would it be for the driver Co stop ard express an cm- phatic OpniOn while right was on lis side, than to run over or splash mud upon the pedestrian. leaving him with valid excuse for profanity. There are many places in this world whecn courtesy demands a small sacrifice of ones rights. and ttOse who ride or drive in muddy weather have excellent oportuniiies for displaying their gal lantry.

GREAT RAILROAD SCHEMES.

Some Of the great railway corpora
lions are showing a courage and conf
dence in prosperity and its continuance
that entities them to lead the procession
in great undertakings. Their movements
are such as to inspire confidence in 9TH
ers, as well as amazement in the minds
of the conservatives, not to say any
thing about the queries they suggest IN
the minds OF monetary critics. Philip
King, the financial writer of the New
York Sun, has the following to say of
the Pennsylvania company's great prof.

Railroad Company for Its entrance into

SCORED TWO POINTS.

Walter wellnan declares that Presi-
aent Roosevelt scored two points in SCI
lectinR Mr.. Payne as postmaster general,
that he secured very competent OFF,
cial as we'll as one of the shrewdest po-
litical managers in the country-and
that the latter feature is an indication CT
his purpose to be candidate for an
other term. Republicans generally will
approve his wisdom in combining gooa
policy with good politics. They look
kindly at present upon any possible am
hilton he may entertain to succeed him
eelf. They will justify him Furthermore
on the ground that the republican or
ranization itself needs the aid of such
able managers as Mr.. Payne. In the
course of his letter Mr.. Wellman says:
The selection of Mr.. Payne for the first
vacancy in the Roosevelt cabinet Is re-
Earded here as possessing great ueal
of political significance. 1t shows tnat
President Roosevelt, with all his deVo-
ton to his ideals, is practical enough 70
play the game OF politics with an eye TO
the future. Mr.. Payne is justly regarded
as one OF the shrewdest political mana
gers in the country. he was senator
Hanna's right-hand man in the great
campaign of 1896, and again In 1900. In
1897 he wanted place in the cabinet,
and Senator Hanna brought more pres
cure on Mr.. Mckinley to get 1t for him
than he ever brought in regard to any
other appointment. For some reason
Mr.. Mckinley would not consent. He Of
fered Mr.. Payne his choice of three dip
lomatic posts in Europe, but Mr.. Payne
declined to accept anything in that line,
President Roosevelt now secures as
member OF his official family the man
who stands second only to Senator Han
ma in knowledge of all the intricacies OF
the republican organization thruout the
country. He has not only the acqualn-
lance of state and local leaders every
where, but their confidence. Mr.. Payne
is man who loves the ga1le OF politics
as other men love horses, shooting, goii
or other sports or amusements. And ne
plays 1t well. He Is admirably fitted 10
be Of service TO his chief as the months
an1 years roll by and 1904 approaches
nearer and nearer.
The prospective postmaster general Is
= close friend OF Senator Hanna's. and
his selection indicates Enthusiastically
that President Roosevelt wishes to re-
tain the cordial support which the chair
man Of the national republican commit
tee long ago rendered him. Speculative
persons who have perceived an early
break between the president and the
party organization will have to guess
again. 1t goes without saying that
President Roosevelt will make every
proper effort to maintain the most
friendly relations with republicans thru.
out the country. and the notion that he
would start out deliberately to turn
down" organization men is absurd.
Senator Spooner is said to be the only
man in Washington who was consulted
about the selection OF Mr.. Payne. The
senior senator from Wisconsin is gener'
ally recognized as power, not only II
the senate, but at the white house.

of his present fortune, which is large
enough to make it unnecessary for him
to draw salary from the government,

There may be. and doubtless are,
some internal Improvements projected
that are not absolutely essential; some
OF them may be perniciously extrava-
CANT. But there are many highly inn
portant improvements Of rivers and
harbore having q direct bearing upor
the development and prosperity OF the
country. They require in the aggregate
large appropriation simply for the rea-
son that this is big country and new
country. II the United States had no
greater area than the original thirteen
colonies. the appropriations for rivers
and harbors would be only a. fraction of
the present requirements. Or, IL the re-
public were q century older, 1t would
have much larger amount Of finished
works. But the country is both new and
large, and that is the reason that the

From the Burlington papers point OF
view this is all very NICE Burlington is
located on the great river and all Mis-

hope that in time to come congress can

Brain. Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly notion
that one kind OF food is needed for the
brain, another for the muscles, and still
another for the bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish particular part
OF the body, but it will sustain every
other part. Yet, however good your
food may be, it's nutriment IL destroyed

makes and unmakes its own channels
and courses every time freshet occurs
is nothing but extravaganza.
The whole country is more interested
in the use OF the public funds to develop
new lands and open new homesteads IN
the arid regions of the west where pros
porous communities can be built up to
consume the manufactured products or
the old towns already built and buy the
articles the present towns have to sell,
This; government never made SO profta-
Bile an investment, in fact no govern
ment ever profited SO enormously by
single move, as did this country when
1t gave away it's millions of acres to
people who would move on them to
make their homes. AT present the ara
BILE area is about all occupied, but there
remain thousands upon thousands of
acres of land that can be made wonder
full producing areas if the government
" ould only provide the water for irriga-
ton. President Roosevelt and the men
of his cabinet believe that the irrigated
lands could be made to pay the cost OF
the irrigation works even, but cost what
it will the whole country is interested in
building up these new consuming ana
producing communities. Comparative
w few towns are interested in the wing
dams, excavations and, as one states
man says. the dam jobs of a river and
harbor appropriation.
Again the whole country is Interested
In the erection of permanent govern
ment buildings. When a business man
finds himself burdened with surplus
he doesn't go out to pour part of it into
81 nearby stream. but proceeds to erect
permanent and substantial buildings for
his home, his store or his factory. Uncle
Sam is carrying on an immense busi-
ness with branch of the postal depart
ment in some 10000 towns, with customs
collectors, federal courts and numerous
other agents to house in many other
towns, and when he finds more money
in his pockets than he needs for living
expenses he should provide permanent
buildings as fast as he can for every
postof1ice and every federal establish
ment connected with his business. The
erection of these buildings will benefit
every community and prove OF perma-
nent lasting value to the government.
The river and harbor bill has become
| the Jackpot Of congressional logrolling
into which everybody chips in his ante
and only few favored ones controlling
congressmen's votes to trade succeed in
drawing out the pile. The Times Repub-
l;can is in favor of more business-like
expenditure of public funds, but, OF
course, If money must be poured into
these interior rivers We earnestly hope
that Burlington will open up with
royal flush winning.
