FIRST TO LEAVE THE UNITED STATES

From the Savannah News.
No president of the United States
ever left the borders of the country
during his term of Office. When Pres
ident Roosevelt goes from New Orleans
to Washington on a naval vessel, as
he proposes doing, he will have set a
new precedent by leaving the borders
of the country. The territorial juris
diction of the United States extends
three miles at sea along its coast. but
it will not be possible for the vessel
carrying President Roosevelt to keep
within the three-mile limit during the
whole trip. Cape HatteraS puts that
out of the question. During the whole
of the trip, however, the president will
be able to keep in touch with the land,
and with Washington, by means of the
wireless telegraph. His vessel will be
equipped with wireless apparatus, and
there will not be a moment when he
cannot send and receive messages.

CANDIDATES AND NEWSPAPERS

The candidates, as usual, are try
ing to use the newspapers as free
horses on which to ride into office.
Almost every day The News receives
from some candidate request to
print lengthy statement by him, or a
lengthy article written by some one
else in his interest. But we are glad
to see there is a rapidly growing dis
position among the newspapers of the
state not to turn their space over to
office-seekers for free use. Many OF
our contemporaries are taking the
sensible business view of the matter,
and are speaking out on it. In this
connection the Albany Herald says;
A newspapers columns and the
access it has to constituency Tor
purposes of publicity largely con-
stitute its stock in trade andmeanS
of support. Why. then, should a
newspaper carry a candidates an
nouncement to the people free OF
charge any more than railroad
or liveryman should carry him
free to one of his campaign APP
pointments, even though the rail-
road or liveryman might be favor
able to his election?
The country newspapers will
have to learn to guard their inter-
ests better and place higher estl-
mate upon themselves as mediums
through which the people can be
reached before they will come into
their own.
THE NEWS decided this question
for itself some time ago. We will
print the news of the campaign impair
TALLY, showing no preference between
the candidates in this respect, but all
announcements for Office and lengthy
written by supporters of
the candidates must be paid for at
regular advertising rates if they ap-
pear in these columns. This applies
to every man who runs for office. This
is no mans organ.

MAKING A TOWN ATTRACTIVE.
The Knoxville, Tenn, Tribune has
printed very interesting article on
making city attractive, and asks
how many people in cities stop to
think what they could do to make their
surroundings sanitary and attractive.
And it can be done at a normal cost,
much of it withoutcost. 1t is surprising
that men and women think so little of
such things. 1t is not only question
of health, but of morals as well. Clean
illness is good for the bodies of men,
it is good for their spiritual natures.
How can one be good when surround
ed by filth and by that which is an
affection to the faculty of good taste ?
The man who is willing to live like
hog naturally partakes of the nature
OF the hog.
The mayor of the beautiful city of
Denver, acting in an advisory capac-
ity, recently made number of sug-
gestions to the people of that city
which are here reproduced and will
serve to illustrate what we mean
when we speak of making the city at
tractive:
l. If your store front, residence or
fence is dull or dingy order it painted.
?. If your awning is old, torn or
faded get a new one.
3. If your sidewalk, fence or gate
needs repairing fix it,
4. Destroy the young weeds that
are starting on your property and on
your neighbours property.
5. If your advertising sign is old
or faded take it down or paint it.
.. Resolve never to throw paper in
the streets.
7. Burn all the rubbish possible
allow no one to throw it on the streets,
alleys or vacant lots.
$. Promise not to spit on the side
walk.
8. Organize a block improvement
society and allow no weeds to grow
on sidewalks, area or vacant property
in your block.
10. Irrespective of the size of your
houses make your lawn the finest.
II. illuminate the front of your
store in the business section.
AS our contemporary says, these
things will cost but a trife in dollars
and cents, and if considered and
followed out they will add i'm
nensely to the appearance of the city
that tries them. The people who do
such things will add largely to their
own self-respect and impress all with
their pride of locality and make clean
er and better men and women of them
selves.
These are good suggestions for the
smaller towns as we'll as for the larger
ones, and Dawson could act upon
them with advantage.

Mr.. Ziegler said the manufacturer was

My jackass only stepped his feet IN the
edge, and dad wanted me to swim my
Ijackass out to the camel, and let him
fall of onto the jack, but knew dad
would sink my jack IN q minute, and /
wouldn't so in the river. Well, the
camels drank about an hour, with dad
sitting there meditating, and then the
dragomen got them out, and we started
off for the pyramids, which were in
plain sight Hike the pictures you have
seen, with palm trees along the Nile, and
Arabs camping on the bank, and it
looked as though everything was going
to be all right, when suddenly dads
camel stopped dead still and wouldn't
move foot, and all the rest of the cam
els stopped, closed their eyes and went
to sleep, and the Arabs went TO sleep,
and dad and the jackass and were ap-
parently the only animals in Egypt that
were awake.
Dad kicked his camel in the ribs, but it
wouldn't bulge. He asked me if /
couldn't think up some way to start the
procession, and I stopped my jackass
and thought a minute, and told dad
had it. I had bought some giant fire
crackers and roman candles at Cairo,
with which I was going to fire salute
on top of the biggest pyramid, to cele-
brate for old America, and / told dad
what I had got, and thought if got
off my jackass and fired a salute there
in the desert it would wake them up.
Dad said "all right, let er go, but do it
sort of easy, at first, so not to Overdo it, -
and got my artillery ready. Say, you
can't fire off fireworks easy, you got to
touch a match to 'em, and dodge, and
take your chances. Well, l scratched
a match and lit the giant fire cracker,
and put it under the hind legs of dads
camel, and when it got to fixing lit my
roman candle, and as the fire cracker ex-
ploded like a 16-inch gun, my roman
candle began to spout balls of fire, and
[ aimed one at each camel, and the
whole push started on a stampede for
the pyramids, the camels grooming, the
Arabs praying to Allah, dad yelling to
stop 'er, and my jackass led the bunch,
and was left in the desert to pick up
the hats.

1T TAKES NINE BATHS TO GET DOWN

about Cairo, and saw the congress of ma
tons, for there is nothing just like this
town anywhere. There are people from
all quarters of the globe, the most out
landish and the most up-to-date. This
place is an asylum for fakirs and rob-
bers place where defaulters, bribers,
murderers, swindlers and clippers
are safe, as there seems to be
no extradition treaty that cannot
be overcome by paying money to the
officials. found that out the first day,
and told dad we should have no stand
ing in the society of Egypt unless the
people thought he had committed some
gigantic crime and fed his country.
Dad wanted to know how it would
strike ME if it was noised about the no.
tel that he had robbed national bank.
but l told him there would be nothing
uncommon or noticeable about robbing
a bank, as half the tourists were bank
defaulters, so he would have to be &C.
cused of something startling. so We de-
cided that dad should be charged with
being the principal thing ip the Stand
ard Oil company, and that he had under
ground pipe lines running under sew
eral states, gathering oil away from the
people who owned it, and tnat at the
present time he was worth q billion dol
lars, and his income was 100000
every little while. and. by ginger, you
ought to see the people bow down to him.
Say. common bank robbers and default
ers just fell over themselves to get &C.
quainted with dad, and to carry out the
joke, put some kerosene oil on dads
handkerchief, and that clinched it, for
