ONE YEAR o. Roosevelt.

wv GfNfh ~ 49, ~ ' = = e..
The country realizes this montn that
it has had a year OF president Roose-
velt He was sworn in on septem-
Der IS. He has continued to be
strenuous ana surprising. He is very
energetic and hates duh time
When he hunts he hunts big game,
and wnen he rides he rides. hard
Worlds Work notices that he boxes.
he rows. he swims and he wrestles
More than that. he talks The Presi-
dent has physical energy and mental
energy to the extent Of rashness. In
the South he will be remembered as
tee man who entertained Booker
r Washington at the White House,
and in Savannah history viii put him
down as the president who reappointed
a colored man collector of port over
the protest Of business men. lie viii
also be remembered here as the man
whose early writings were exposed
ana confuted by Bishop Kelley. The
most sensational thing the president
has done was his speech at Arlington
on Decoration day, waen he upbraid-
ed the South for lyucnings without
taking into consideration the crime
for which these lync.4ngs were VISIT
ed. President Roosevelt was very
much criticised for TINS speech, which
was so different from anything Mr.
Mckinley ever did. .e threatened
the trusts wuh extinction and then
turned dis back before the dght was
on and fed
There is ono thing, however. in his
favor Although ne made mess or
his domestic policy, he has done notn-
ing rash in his foreign policy lie
does a heap Of talking about the Mon
roe dostrine but liis oniy provokes
amusement in Europe Yet he aas
managed to be a good friend with sm-
peror William OF Germany--,ae man
most like him among foreign mon
arcns- and the little friction between
s-e two countries has gradually worn
off. He seems to be riding along care
fully for the Republican denomination,
but itais not now believed tnat he
can be reelected IN 1904 Savannah
Press.

Dalles of the Columbia river, and all i'm

Portland, and the beautiful Hotel Port

Transportation is the all important
question in that country, next to irri-
cation, to the agriculturist. The charges
are simply frightful. Think of it, Tween
ty-five cents to transport one bushel of
wheat from Lewiston, Idaho, across the
state of Oregon. The Improvement of
the Columbia, matter now under con-
by congress, viii add full 400
miles to navigable water, and the OBJ :
only occupy about thirtee.n
miles, at the Dalles. This alone, would
work wonderful change in fret ght
charges. The railroads, foolishly, and
oppose this. Like the labs)ring
man, who destroys labor saving ma
they are standing in their,' own
light. This country can never be great,
until 1t is developed, and it can never be
developed, until there is some cheaper
way to transport its products, If the
railroads want to grow, and get rich,
they must let the country grow and get
rich, and this can never be done While
the present system lasts.

George Schaub. well known German
citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is a con-
slant reader of the Dayton Volkszei-
tung. He knows that this paper aims
to advertise only the best in it's coll
umns, and when he saw Chamberlain's
Pain Balm advertised therein for lame
back, he did not hesitate in buying a
bottle of it for his wife. who for eight
weeks had suffered with the most ter
rible pains in her back and could get
no relief. He says: After using the
Pain Balm for a few days my wife said
to me, I feel as tho born anew and be-
fore using the entire contents of the
bottle the unbearable pains had entirely
vanished and she could again take up
her houshold duties" He is very
thankful and hopes that all suffering
likewise will hear of her wonderful re-
covery. This valuable liniment is for
sale by druggists.

The Laird,s Inst DRINK.

The remark of counsel in will case
the other day that there were two pc.
culiarities about highlanders, their
great devotion to the national drink
and their power of absorbing whisky
without apparently getting the worse
for it, recalls the old story Of how the
laird Of Garscadden took his last draft.
A considerable number Of lairds had
congregated in the clachan of law for
the ostensible purpose Of talking over
some parish business. They talked well
and drank still better, and one Of them
about the dawn Of the morning, fixing
his eye on Garscadden, remarked that
he was looking unco CASH. Every

ny coolly replied: "He has been wi his

The Rural Telephone.


Neighbors not far from here
Put in telephones last year;
Farmers all talked up" fine,
All you had to do was ring,
Every bell went ting-a-ling:
One for Samson, two for Boggs,
Long and short call for old Scroggs;
Every neighbor has his call.
Twist the crank and that was all.
Mighty nice when work was thru
TO gossip for an hour or two
With your neighbors, one by one;
Mighty nice. but lots of fun,
To hear some other two
Telling what was not for you.
Every time the signal rang,
To the phone each farmer sprang,
Slyly grinned and softly took
The receiver from the hook;
Other peoples secrets dear
Poured into his large red ear;
Slapped his legs and said, i swun,
Telephonin's lots of fun
Somehow in Il week or two
Troubles then began to brew.
Farmer Jones got fighting hot;
Heard Scroggs calling him a sot
Farmer Scroggs seemed angry, too;
Heard Smith tell what he knew.
Smith heard Johnson telling lies:
Paid him off with two black eyes.
johnson heard young Isaac Boggs
Underbid him on his hogs.
Boggs overheard sneaking churl
Making love with his best girl.
Women, too, We're in the muss,
Raised a most tremendous fuss,
Every one from Scroggs to Jones
In glass houses throwing stones.
Now the line has silent grown;
Wires rusted, poles oerthrown;
Twenty friends are deadly foes.
Each one full of grfefs and woes,
Each too mad to speak word,
Cause of things they'd overheard.
