are correct. Who's getting the money?

WITH the people of the country
suffering for coal, the anthracite mi
ners took pretty nearly week for
holiday frolics, entirely regardless Of
their fellow men in other places. HUI
man nature is pretty much the same,
whether it be in palaces or novels.
The coal operators grind down the
miners in the most heartless manner.
The miners, in turn, are Indifferent to
their obligation to society at large,
and work or not just as it suits them.
There's deal of selfshness in the
world.

In the town of Indianola, in Mis-
sissippi, by some means colorsd wo-
man became postmaster. Public sen-
timent was so adverse to it that the
woman was wise enough to resign in
the face of the unmistskable opposi-
ton. Now comes President Roose-
welt, and to punish the naughty people
who object to his negro appointees he
causes the postofice to be abolished,
and the people of the community may
get their mail as best they can. This
shows how splendidly terrible our
great President can be in small mat
tiers, but it will not increase the re-
spect that the people of great Sec
tion Of our country may have for him.
~ He is very persistent and obtuse In
his determination to force upon the
Southern people class of ofice-hold-
ers they will not receive, but he will
find that public sentiment is after all
greater than temporary President.

Proverbs

"When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

THE Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany will double its capital stock,
running the total up to over $500, 000,-
600. A large part of the new issue
will be used to build the tunnel in
New York City, and the great union
depot in Washington and other vast
improvements all along the line will
call for large sums. The Pennsylva-
MIA is great corporation and a sue
cessful one, and it is gradually getting
the entire East in its power.
Is it well for a corporation unre-
strained by governmental influence to
be permitted to become SO great?

AFTER all, the President has ap-
pointed the negro man Crum to be col
lector of the port of Charleston, though
the white people of that city have
strongly and persistently opposed it.
tbs not to Mr.. Roosevelt's credit
that he uses his official power to do to
a large and respectable community
that which it does not want done. He
ought to be big enough to see the diff
ference between public sentiment and
unreasonable prejudice, but apparent
ly he cannot. And so he unconscious
ly reveals the smallness of his own
calibre.

Criminal Nonaction,

The Republican leaders have decid-
ed that the coming congress is to make
its mark by Its "innocuous desuetude"
and is to be known in history as the
do nothing congress. Can the Repub-
lican party afford to appeal to the peo'
pie on the Hanna issue of letting well
enough alone?" If President Roose-
velt is nominated his reputed strenu-
osity may Offset the Republican con-
gressional programme of inactivity, but
It is very doubtful If many voters
would regard their interests conserved
by this course. To "stand pat" and
claim that the protective tariff has
made every one prosperous, with thou
sands of men out of work, will hardly
satisfy the most ardent Republican In
the wisdom of his leaders. With banks
failing and railroads reducing their
forces and the certain reduction in
wares that such business depreciation
brings, the voters will be asking why
no effort was made to prevent further
stagnation. II the cost of living still
continues at the prosperity point-and
there is no immediate signs of decrease
will those who must buy daily the
protected products Of trusts vote te
continue the party in power which Ne
faDed legi1h tio2 to. aid sthem7 Stand
ing pat under these circumstances 4
criminal, and the Democrats In con
sreos win demand action.
