4 The lower house of the New
York Legislature is studying the
abstruse problem of how much
money a man 104 years old re-
quires for the support of himself
and wife. Hiram Cronk, who is
said to be the only survivor Of the
war of 1912, has passed four years
beyond the century mark, and
one legislator thinks the veteran
deserves pension of S72 a month
from the state, in addition to the
S25 he draws from the National
government. Since the bill was
introduced Cfonk has received a
swarm of leap year offers from
manageable women, but he says
that he will not accept anyone
until he finds out what the Legis-
lature is going to do for him. He
is wise. He doesn't propose that
if he should be cut off in the bloom
of his youth his widow shall be
left to struggle penniless against
the world. On this side the Incl
dent shows that no mans solitude
Is, inconsolable, so far as women
are concerned.

If Congress should pass the
Brownlow bill, which provides for
q national appropriation of S24,-
000, 900 to aid states in the con-
struction of better highways, it
will only be doing what many
foreign governments have done on
a large scale. France, for in
stance, has q, SOB miles Of national
highways, built and maintained by
the government. Italy has 5000
miles of governmental built roads.
In the last decade the United
States government has spent more
than S176, 600, 900 for river aud har-
Dor improvements, and the ma
tional expenditure under this head
will 60 on indefinitely. The sup
porters of government aid in good
road construction argue that just
as the government had aided the
commerce Of cities, it should now
aid the commerce of the country
towns by helping the farmer to SCI
cure good roads over which to
haul his produce to market. The
scheme may be said to favor some
what of paternalism, but. if SO,
the farmer will he likely to con-
clude that it only helps to even
things up for the inland commu-
nities.-Portland (Me. Argus.

So much has been heard OF
Russia's numbering interests in
Manchuria, Siberia and Sakhalin,
and OF the efforts of the companies
on the Yalu river to enter into
competition with the lumber trade
of the Pacific coast, that especial
interest will attach to a report on
the subject made by Henry B.
Miller, United Stairs Consul at
Niu- Chwang. 1t is evident that
considerable progress has already
been made and that while the
pine being handled at Port Arthur
is not equal to the Oregon product,
it is good enough for the common
of China, and will be ac-
cepted for most purposes. Most
OF the supply is now driven or
RATED down the Yalu and is
brought thence in Chinese junks.
The Russian sawmill at the mouth
Of this river is the third largest in
the world. Shipments are also be-
ing made from Vladivostok to
Port Arthur, Dalny (ra-Lien-
Wah) and Niu-Chwang: Mr.. Mil
er is of the opinion that Russia
intends to provide for all the re-
luirements of lum Der in Manchu-
ia and Siberia, with a possibility
u entering the Chinese market.

The Atlanta Constitution of re-
cent date makes the following wise
remarks: at is therefore, to the
interest of every town to support
a good newspaper. Not through
local pride alone, but for practi-
cal business reasons. A news
paper is constantly doing ten
times as much for its town as it
could ever hope to get pay for
more than it could charge for if it
would. The more prosperous a
paper is the more it is able to do.
Snow us a good weekly paper,
full OF live local adds, with a gen.
eral circulation throughout the
country and we will show you an
up-to' date, prosperous, progress
sive community. And we will all
so show you a paper that is worth
i've times as much to that COM
munity every year than the editor
manages to make for himself"

American Coal For The East.

Now that the long looked for
war between Japan and Russia
has come the financial interests of
the country are looking to the ef-
feet such a strife will have upon
the commerce Of the United States.
Great force has been laid upon thu
increase of trade that woulc
surely come to our middle west
and the Pacific coast country in
the event of actual fighting, and
especially if the war were to be a
protracted one. The increased de-
mand for grain and provisions
from those regions would newt
ably put general business into a
most healthy and prosperous
condition out there. The East,
too, will hardly fail to share in
the profits of such a war. The
coal trade is conspicuously inter-
ested in the situation in the Orient,
Both the United States and Great
Britain are already engaged in
supplying coal to the belligerents.
Contracts for West Virginia coal
have lately been taken for deliv-
cry at the japanese coaling sta
lions. AS early as October last,
according to an American author
ity in the trade, Russia and Japan
both came into the market for ex-
traordinary supplies of Welsh
steam coal, and in less than four
teen days thirty steamers were
chartered for prompt dispatch to
Vladivostok, Port Arthur, Hong
Kong and Nagasaki. 1t was not
until January 1, however, that or
ders in any great bulk were again
in the market. These have come
in quantity sufficient to make
prices take turn for the better.
The price of American and Eng
lish coal is now about the same
at the loading ports and the
freights are nearly so, being 20
shillings from English ports to
Hong Kong, as a basis, while
shipbrokers are quoting
S.. 25 and $3.50 to Manila, Naga-
saki, Yokohama or Chez Foo. !
The outlook is not unpleasant to
the coal trade, on top Of the activ-
ity in it due to the demands Of an
unusually cold winter SO far.

Graft.

The country has a pretty fair
| dea OF the extent to which the
orincipl,' OF graft has perme ated
ur National administration and
nc government of some of our
tavcs and cities. Instead of con-
dering public Office a public
ust, officials of high and low de-
gree have apparently regarded it
as merely means to an end, the
latter being the acquisition of
money which belongs to, and
should be used for the benefit of
the public, says an exchange.
Thus we have learned to regard
grating as an almost inevitable
concomitant part of official life,
and now comes a writer in the
January number Of the World OF
Today who asserts and essays to
prove that the system is more
firmly intrenched in private affairs
than in those Of the public. He
points out that in many lines of
business fees and brides of vari-
ouS SUI % I1C dlllODU do COlAu4Ou
as trades, and that there is very
large class of agents, buyers and
sellers who are always looking for
an opportunity to "make some
thing on the side" 1t has extend
ed to the labor unions, as all those
who have followed the careers of
such men as Sam Parks and his
partner, Tipograph, know full
we'll. 1t has extended to the rail-
roads, many of which, through
some trick or another, make re-
bates and cut rates in order to
secure business. 1t has extended
to the wholesale trade in lines too
numerous to mention. In short,
there is ample evidence of the
truth of the statement of the
writer just referred to, who is evil
IDENTIFY business man or at least
a man with complete knowledge
OF business conditions and what
are known as the tricks of the
trade. Though he does not men,
ton it, graft is to be found ram
pant at most hotels and restaur-
ants, where decent service can
only be secured through
more or less elaborate tips. 1t is
to be found in many theatres,
where the choicest seats are re-
served f r patrons who "remem-
Der" the box Office man. 1t is to
be found in so many different
places as to appail the student OF
the situation, who vainly wanders
about trying to find out where it
does not exist.
