MAY BUILD PRESIDENT A TRAIN

I'm view OF the discussion which arises
every time the President takes Il journey
over the propriety Of hisacceptingspecial
trains from the railroads free OF cost, II ls
probable that Congress will be asked tins
winter To make an Appropriation topfo-
vide a special train Tor the President,
which shall be owned by the government
and be- placed at his disposal whenever ne
takes takes a trip on land, just as naval
vessels and revenue cutters are placed at
the disposal OF the President, the members
OF his Cabinet and the assistant secreta-
ries when they go to sea. II IL also pro-
posed that an appropriation bemade for
the operation OF the train and Tor rhaullng
it over different lines OF railroad.
Such train would probably cost in
the neighbOrhoOd OF $50, 600, possibly
less: and tits thought that an appropria-
tion OF $50, 900 would be sufficient TO
pav the expenses OF manning the train
and hauling it on all the trips the Presi-
dent would take in year. Such pro-
vision by Congress would end the criticism
constantly leveled at the President and
which has become rather embarrassing IN
view OF the struggle between the President
and the railroads over the question OF EN-
towering the Interstate Commerce Com
mission TO make rates.
The President is the only important Of
fetal who does not have his travelling ex-
penses paid by the government. II ne
paid the railroads what they exact from
private persons for special trains he would
spend almost his entire salary.

SOBRIETY IN BUSINESS WORLD
Psopl, Turning to Beer and Soft Drinks.

The business and social life of New
York is turning 20 beer and soft drinks
saws Charles H. Treat. United States
treasurer. As collector OF internal rev
enue in the Wall street district Oi heclty
and in the clubs OF which am a member
I observed the same tendency. II you
should walk into some of the great pO-
htieal and social clubs OF New York to-
.day. organizations composed OF the best
business and professional men of the city,
seventy-fve per cent. OF thOse sitting
around the tables would be drinking
soft drinks. in which include beer ~ the
foremost. Even wines are being used in
decreasing quantities. This Is because
wines often contain much more alcohol
than is good for the consumer.
In these days Of strict business ne-
quirement. men become temperate be-
cause Of actual necessity. They still de-
sire something that is gently stimulating
and meets the wants of cOmpaniOnship.
There is no question that they are turn
ing largely 10 beer, seltzer, and such
drinks.
The giant railroad companies, the
immense business interests OF the country
OF all sorts. are beginning OF exact from
their employees a strict pledge to avoid
distilled liquors, but these great concerns
recognize the demand Of human nature
for a stimulant and most Of them do not
prohibit beer and the mild drinks. That
accounts more largely for the increasing
temperance of the United States than all
the laws ever made.
