Proverbs

When the butter won't

proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
sold why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul.
zion.
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
30 their wants.
For all weak and pale and
ahin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat

Heavy Fall Of Snow.

The Central and Northern States
are covered with blanket of from
five to fifteen inches of snow, which
began falling last Friday night. In
Berryville and vicinity the snow
reached the depth of eight or nine
inches, accompanied by considera-
BILE cold. Thermometers register
ed below zero Sunday morning.
While those who are not on
friendly terms" with the coal
barons will suffer considerably,
the farmers are well pleased, as il
will help the wheat crop. To
counteract the effect of the cold,
we quote from a paper of last
August: For the past two weeks
the temperature has been very
high, ranging from 95 to 1O2 in
the shade" just imagine your
self back in the good old summer
time.

How to Get Good Roads.

We note with satisfaction the
spread of the idea, so long advo-
Gated by the Post. that good roads
are within the reach of all COM
munities which choose to build
them by the simple expedient of
using their conyicts for the pur-
pose. 1t has always seemed to us
a puerile and dependent frame of
mind that accepts the alternative
OF an appeal to governmental
charity. In every county, from
the st. Lawrence to the Rio Grande,
the Jails are filled with able-bOdied
malefactors, supported in ease and
comfort by the taxpayers. In
most of these counties there is need
of better roads for the use and
profit of the industrious and the
frugal. Why should this material
he wasted More than that, why
should the spirit of alms-taking
from the general government be
nursed and the image of paternal-
ism set up for Worship We are
the last 20 advocate the employ
ment of convict labor in COMPETE
tlon with honest and free industry.
Nothing could be more tyrannical
and demoralizing than the opera
tion of such an expedient. But to
put convicts on the public roads
and thereby make the enemies and
parasites of society discharge some
of the obligations they habitually
endeavOr to repudiate would
achieve combination of Justice
and utility deserving of all prai>,
No doubt idleness and crime would
become less attractive under such
dispensation. We can imagine
that, as the lesson was brought
home, the ways of decency might
assume a certain charm. COnceiva-
bly,, there would come a time when
the shiftleSs and the vicious we're
less in evidence and, therefore. less
available for useful if compulsory
application TO the public interests.
/ Bot IL will be time enough 10 con-
slider new eXpedients when our
Jails are empty. For the present
we have road-builders and TO spare
at our disposal. Why not put
them to work and stop crying for
government bounty! Hercules
helps those who help themselves.

Wants Passports From Immigrants.

Frank Sargent. Commissioner
General of immigration. Is anxious
for Congress to pass a law requir-
ing aliens TO bring passports when
they come To this country for a
home.
Every immigrant should be
compelled to bring with him his
life history officially certified by
the authorities of the places in
which he has lived" said Mr..
Sargent last week.
Unless we adopt some system
of this sort our country Will suffer
untold harm from the criminal. the
pauper. and the insane immigrants
who are pouring into the Eastern
ports. Our prisons. almshouses,
and insane asylums are now crowd
ed with foreigners who would have
been barred out had we passed
proper immigration laws in the
past.
A member of Congress who
came in 10 see me the other day
told me that our immigration law,
are Jokes. am forced to agre,
with him.
IF an American goes abroad tC
reside or even To visit he Is com
. PEELED TO carry a passport that tell.
his life story. A. our law l. at
present. all we require of an i'm,
migrant l. his oath to certain queS-
tionS.

to tell the truth; Not by a long
sight. He will lie a thousand
times To get in, and when once in.
its pretty hard to get him out.

Electric Road.

The committee of the board OF
directors of the Washington and
Winchester electric railway which
was appointed to receive the report
of Mr.. III. NJ. Prcssy, of Washing
ton, the engineer appointed To
make the preliminary surveys for
the road and for its water power
met in Winchester Monday.
The report of Mr.. Pressy show
ed three locations on the Shenan-
doah river at which the power
houses of the company could be
located and an abundance of water
secured for all purposes.
The COURIER has taken a great
interest in this subject and has
been very strongly in favor of the
road, and we believe now that the
road will be built and will be a
source OF lasting benefit to all OF
the people of this section.
1t will mean that light and power
can be secured for all manufactur.
ing plants which can be located
along or near the road, and it will
mean that manufacturing plants
now in operation can secure power
for about half the cost of steam.
We firmly believe that the stock.
holders and directors of the com
pany are holding out the most at
tractive proposition that has been
presented to this section in its
history, and we hope that the peo-
pie of Clarke will join hands and
subscribe To stock and make
reasonable concessions as to right
of way that will enable the com
pany to begin work at an early
day.

Advertising Does Il.

The trade territory of town is
not at all dependent upon the dis
tance toneighboring trading points.
The territory depends upon the
enterprise of merchants and the
residents of the town. If a town
does not reach ont after the trade
1t Will come only a. fast as it has
to, and will grow only as fast rs it
Is forced to. But if the merchants
go after the business in the sur
rounding country, advertising in
every possible way, and make good
every word of their advertising.
trade Will come from an ever in
creaSing radius. and the town will
gain a reputation for being awake.
and will forge To the front. Ii is
the men in the town and not
altogether the men living within "a
certain number of miles from il.
that makes the town good for
nothing.
