About Coffee and Things.

We are nation of coffee drinkers
and there is no news in that. A re-
cent report of the bureau of statistics
shows that 2,2sO,0OO,OO0 pounds OF
coffee were marketed in the whole
world last year. Of this we took L.
053, 100000 pounds. The Germans are
not so slow as coffee drinkers, and yet
they took but 4OO,o00,0O0 pounds,
while the English, welded to tea,
took but 35,OO0,O0O pounds of coffee
In 1880 the people of the United
States drank three pounds of coffee
per capita in 1870 they drank six
pounds; last year they drank 1864
pounds.
Professor Virchow attributed the
"leanness, nervousness and sallow-
ness" of Americans to their excessive
use of coffee. Professor Virchow was
one of the worlds learned men. But
as matter of fact we know that the
leanness and sallowness formerly
characterized Americans to a vastly
greater degree than it does now; yet
our consumption of coffee has increas-
ed-more than quadrupled since 1886
and the American of today is round
rosy, vigorous specimen compared
with his type in 1880 and the years
thereafter. Does this not suggest
something else?

fourth of the Lands brothers to the
Government pay roll. Altogether the

A HUNDRED YEARS WAR.
Required to Restore Harmony Be-
tween Russia and Japan.

From ocean to ocean for the last
few weeks the newspaper press of
this country has been speculating ON
the future relations of Japan to the
Philippines. Many of them consider
1t toregone conclusion that she will
some day covet them, and a few that
she will ultimately possess them.
All these speculations are shallow and
fatuous.
Probably everyone will agree that
japan even if she receives an indemnity
from Russia, will rquire ten or fif-
teen years for recuperation. She re-
ceived considerable indemnity from
China after the comparatively insig-
nitcant Japanes-Chinese war, and vet
1T was ten years before she could as
sumo the offensive AT the same rate
1t should be at least twenty years af-
ter the present war before she could
be ready to meet any first-class pow
er IN an armed conflict.
Japan will be fortunate indeed If
she is not, long before that time
elapses, compelled to fight Russia
again. 1t is idle to suppose that
single war is going to settle for all
time to come the control of the far
east. 1t is worse than idle to imagine
that Russia, reconstructed In govern
ment, finance and military establish
ment, will not attempt to wipe out
the disgrace of Liao-Y Yang or Nook
den. Japan and Russia have locked
horns for a century of warfare

The Vice-Presidency.

A great deal has been said about
the vice president as if it were sepul-
cher of political hopes. So much of
this stuff has been put in print in
taken-for-granted sort of way that
it has come to be accepted in many
mind as if it wer true and as II 1t
included the whole truth.
What is done in this Office, as in
other positions, depends more than
all else upon the man who holds it.
No Office can make cipher of
strong man. The vice presidency can
not bury a Fairbanks There is alb
solutely nothing connected with it to
prevent this man from looking with a
clear vision into the problems that are
presented for consideration, and never
was there a time when these problems
called for clearer or more far-sighted
vision. And both these qualities Vice
President Fairbanks possesses to a
great degree. At the most there are
few, and there have been few, OF our
public men with keener or stronger
grasp than this man, and 1t is yet to
be demonstrated that any one OF them
has SUI IpdSSCQ VI III" SHA -----
in these qualities.
Time and again he has demonstrate
ed his ability to do effectually what
ever he has undertaken and he has
been called upon to deal with some
of the greatest problems that has
ever commanded the attention OF pub
lie men; problems more far-reaching
in their consequences than most men
are now able to realize. In every
emergency he has shown the hand OF
a master, and there have been emer-
pencies that on the surface have ap-
peared to the majority as episodes.
There is every reason for unbounded
confidence in his ability to meet every
future demand upon him with equal
insight and foresight.
lust as this man surprised the most
of the people, even among many who
should have known him better, when
he set out upon that wonderful test
of versatility and of mental and physi-
cal ability, as well as of physical and
mental endurance-just as he surpris-
ed most of his countrymen then, so ne
would surprise mary of them if called
upon to meet still greater demands,
and whatever is to be said OF the Office
itself. which is not an inconsequental
one the man in it will continue to be
a power in the affairs of the nation.

Regulations CT Postoffice.

The postofice department has is
sued a very valuable little book of
postal informaticI which is now being
distributed free of charge to the pub
lie.
This book sets forth briefly and
-ooncisely the regulations relating to
the registry system, special delivery
and parcels post. 1t also states very
clearly the distinction between the diff
ferent classes of mails and the rates
applying to each; also provisions re-
lating to drop letters, postal cards.
private mailing cards, etc.
This book is issued under the au-
thorIty of an act of congress and is,
as above stated, for free distribution.
Postmasters have received from the
department limited number of copies
which, in accordance with instructions
will be given out only through the
stan windows. and on request of pa
irons of the Office.
Owing to the limited supply. econ
omy must be observed in the distribu-
ton, and as nearly as practicable. one
copy to each family and to each busi-
ness establishment will be deemed
sufficient.

Baker in Kentucky.

The latest development in the al
legged attempt to bribe Ananias Baker
by 0. A Baker in the interest of the
tobacco trust, is that the man against
whom the grand jury is said to have
returned an indictment is provided
by nature with disguise which prac-
tically grants him immunity from the
prying eyes of the sleuths of the law.
1t is said that Bakers head is per-
fectly bald to conceal which he wears
a toupee of heavy, flowing hair. Now
that he is fugitive he is said o have
removed this toupee and consequently
presents an appearance which even
Ananias Baker himself would fail
TO recognize.
A resident of Brookville, who is an
intimate friend of 0. A. Baker, re-
Gently met Mr.. Baker in Louisville,
Ky. Baker told him that he had been
i'll in Marion twice since he left Indi-
annapolis. Bakers personal appear
ance is greatly changed, he having
abandoned his toupee, so that it is
difficult even for intimate friends to
recognize him Baker told the Brook
vile man that he had assurances that
even if his whereabouts were discov-
cred and he was placed under arrest,
Governor Beckham would not grant a
rquisition for his return to Indianapo-
lis.

Uneasy Over La Toilette.

The entrance of Senator La Toilette
of Wisconsin into the Senate is evil
IDENTIFY not going to be a pleasant
thing for the fnanciers in control of
the railroad systems of the country.
1t is apparent that in him the PROPOSE
ton to regulate railroad rates will find
an able and active champion Mr.. La
Toilette has written at some length on
this subject in a recent number of
one of the illustrated weeklies, and
what he has to say is moderate in
tone and supported by an imposing
array of legal decisions and figures
He shows first the right Of the gov
ernment to regulate the highways, de-
clares that the railroads are the high
ways of the time and recalls the fact
that the people thought they had pro-
vided for control of rates when Con-
gress passed the Cullom-Reagan bill
for the regulation of interstate COM
merce in 1887. He then sets forth the
weakness of this statute as shown by
successive decisions of the Supreme
Court. which in time defeated the OBJ
ject of the law, dwells upon the failure
of Congress to correct these weak
nesses, and finally quotes figures to
show that railroad rates have ad-
vanced fully rs per cent. in the past
fifteen years.
More interesting still is his tracing
of the effect of railroad rates and dis
criminations in building up or limit
ing the growth of industrial enter
prises and distributing centers, in
shaping the destinies of communities,
and in promoting or retarding the de-
velopment of natural resources. He
declares that these have been tre-
mendous factor in the building up of
the great industrial trusts, and that
the captains of industry at the head OF
these have in turn become powerful
in the control of the roads until
now practically all the railroad mile
age of the country is dominated by six
groups of financiers working in har-
mony with each other and imposing a
tax on transportation which is not
merely unreasonab1y heavy but in
equitable in its adjustment, thus de-
stroying the equal opportunity of en-
terprises and communities, and even
tates.-Indianapolis Star.

Roosevelt's Patriotism.

Mr.. Roosevelt's intense patriotism
his constant teaching in his every ut
terance of the principles that best sub
serve the public welfare, are but the
natural outcome of his love of nature
and peoples. His love of country is
but the sum total of his love of the
units that make up the country. While
the Presidents nature is such that the
great, free West most strongly ap-
peals to him, the fact remains that he
finds happiness whether he is swal-
lowed up in the business whirl of the
East, busted with politics at the cap
ital, in the pine groves or cotton fields
of the South, among the ranchers oi
Texas, the lumber camps of the
Northwest, the groves of California
or the mines of the West-Indianap-
oils Star.

The announcement that Mr.. Louis

Mrs. Levi Lauer in Plymouth, Thurs

Mr. Block arrived in Plymouth last

causing correspondence of several
months which resulted in their be-
coming conditionally engaged with
out seing each other. Both were well

WILL GET GOOD START
President Roosevelt Will Overhaul Pan.
anna Canal Commission.

1t is indeed fortunate that such
gigantic work as the building of the
Panama Canal will have for the first
few years Of its progress, at least. the
watchful eye of such a man as Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The idea of this Ca
nal had been little more than dream
until the President cleared the way
for its fulfillment by his clear-headed
action. And having hurried the pcs
sibility of the canal. Mr.. Roosevelt is
now determined that the huge task
shall be carried out in a thoroughly
business-like way, that the very best
brains shall be employed in it's con-
struction and that, if possible, the
work shall be kept free from the scan-
dals that so frequently attach them
selves to giant undertakings.
The President is now engaged in
reorganizing the Isthmian Canal Com
mission, and it is probable that he
will have the reorganization we'll un-
der way, if not completed, before be
starts on his trip to the West next
month. He is reported as thorough
ly disgusted with the commission and
he will spare no ones feelings in the
matter of Oyerhauling the board. 1t
Is said that the new commissioned
three members has been selected, but
as acceptanceS have not yet been re-
ceived from all of them, their names
will not be made public for the pres
ent. While the actual building OF
the canal will be placed in charge OF

Sends $4,000; Conscience Stricken.

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw re-
ceived a record-breaking contribution
to the conscience fund the other day.
In common envelope was enclosed
$4,000 in currency with the following
letter:
"Dear Sir:-I am sending you here
with inclosed $4,000, which is to go
to the use of the United States gov
ernment Years ago l defrauded the
government of money, but have re-
turned it all and now am paying four
fold in accordance with the teach
ings of scripture. The way of trans
gressors is hard and no one but God
knows how / have suffered the con-
sequences and / would seek pardon.
while the United States government
is benefited. A SINNER"
The contribution consisted of a
81 900 bill several 500 bills and the
rest in $50 bills. The authorities of
the department refuse to make public
the place of the origin of the letter,
but intimated it came from Western
source.

My young friend, there are many
things in this world that it doesn't
pay to do.
1t doesn't pay to try to pass your
self off for more than you are worth;
it tends to depress your market quo
tation.
1t doesn't pay to lie, for your lies
must all be kept on file mentally, and
in the course, of time some of them
are pretty certain to get on the wrong
hook. A liar needs better memory
than anyone is apt to possess.
1t doesn't pay to try to get living
without doing work. You will work
harder and get a poorer living than
if YOU did honest work.
It does not pay to rest when you
ought to be at work; if you do you
will have to work when you ought to
be resting. =.
1t does not pay to cry over spilled
milk, neither does it pay to spill the
milk.

and other owners of live stock who
are annoyed by dogs, are insisting
that the provisions of the dog law
shall be rigidly enforced. And since
every person keeping or harboring q
dog who fails to pay tax thereon is
liable to a fine of from SIS to $50 il
