Striking Things That Great Men Have
Said About Them.


A correspondent requests that we
print some of the striking things great
men have said about newspapers
that is, sayings that embody the pur-
pose and doings of the press. With
pleasure.
Bryant said: THE press is good or
evil, according to the character of
those who direct it. 1t is a mill that
grinds all that is put into its hopper.
Fill the hopper with poisoned grain,
and it will grind it to meal, but there
is death in the bread"

CAPERs OUT OF IT.-President Roose-
volt intends to reappoint Capt. John G.
Capers United States district attorney,
ard at the White House it is said that
Capt Capers is not a factor in the
judgeship controversy growing out of
the proposed establishment of a new
judicial district in South Carolina.
The elimination of Capt. Capers from
the judgeship fight will come as sur
prise to a number of prominent men in
the state, who, it is said. have endorsed
the proposed elevation of Capt. Capers
to the bench. The administration of
the district attorneys office by Capt.
Capers has bee en- highly satisfactory to
the president and the department of
justice. he.ce it is the presidents in
t,ntion to retain him in his present Of

MORE PUBLIC BUILDINGs.-Senator
Latimer, on Tuesday, according to the
Washington correspondent Of the Co
lumbia State, introduced a bill in the
senate to build federal buildings at An
derson, Chester and Greenwood, and to
appropriate $4,000 for expenses. This
bill, if passed, will not effect the status
on the new district bill, that is in statu
quo, with better chances for agreement
as to the places for holding court and
passage this session. Senator Latimer
ard Representative Finley agree that
the differences Of judgment as to Rock
Hill and Chester shall not leopard the
bill, the passage of which is of prime
Importance. AS stated by the State
last week, Senator Latimer, while he
still prefers Chester for reasons then
stated, will not insist if Mr.. Finley
thinks the court ought to be held at
Rock Hill instead. If the bill today in
troduced by Senator Latimer passes.
Chester will have a SIS 900 federal
building any way, just as Rock Hill
will have. appropriation for that al
ready having been made, whether or
not federal court is held there.

Testing New Headlight.

The Pennsylvania is experimenting
with a new headlight which is ex-
pected to give much better service as
far as the enginemen are concerned.
1t has been the aim of the road for
some time to get a better type Of
headlight on its locomotives, 1t is
said, and the present Is only a con
tinuation of other tests along the same
line. The new headlight is expected
to light up the track several hundred
yards ahead of the locomotive to
which 1t Is attached, and thus permit
the engineer to look further ahead
than at present. If 1t proves salts.

A new automatic stoker, the inyen.
ton OF one of the employees OF the
mechanical department at Burnham,
Colo, Is being tested by the Denver 4
Rio Grande railroad with reported
success.
All Of the big railroad systems OF
the country have been experimenting
with locomotive stokers, as the enor.
nous size OF the modern freight en-.
gines has made 1t almost a physical
impossibility for n fireman to handle
the coal which the monster requires
on long runs, or runs where steep
grades are encountered. In many
cases the trainmen are pressed into
service TO help the firemen over
heavy grades.
With the new stoker the coal Is
carried from the tender by a con.
veyor to the hopper Of the stoker and
Is permitted to 60 through a chute
to a shelf In the furnace, from which,
by the use Of steam, 1t is scattered
over the fire. The stoker Is the most
complete and successful OF any yet
invented for locomotives and will un.
doubtedly be adopted by some Of the
other railroads II 1t proves to stand a
Il CROUCH test.
Another test Of tn, device Is TO be
Irade within a few days. The stokcr
will be installed on one Of the 100
class compound engines running be.
tween Denver and Pueblo. From
Denver to Palmer Lake a steep grade
Is assembled and the stoker will be
pressed into service on this run.
Later, II the next test proves success
full, the new invention will be tried
from Pueblo to Denver, the grade
from Pueblo to Palmer Lake being
not quite sc steep as from Den.

D. r. r. G. it is probable that it will
revolutiOnize the proposition of firing

Troubles Increase.

Passenger rates in western terri
tory are going from bad to worse. 1t
has been stated that the demoraliza-
ton now existing is greater than any
which has existed in the past except
when there vas open and avowed war
in progress. Special and party bust
ness seems to be the most affected,
though there is no class entirely free
from the prevailing condition. 1t was
positively asserted that such business
as the Epworth league excursion to
Colorado was carried at rates which
actually would not pay the expenses
of the running of the trains. Any
business for which special trains are
required is said to be in as bad con-
dition.
