 Republican leaders who say that they are familiar with the views of the President on railway rate Legislation insist that the public and those espe- cially interested in the subject will sravely err if they accept the bill pre- pared by the Interstate Commerce of the attitude of the Chief Executive. The policy of the square deal'' has ac- tuated the President in his demand for adeuuate railway Legislation. and he will present in his annual message. in his usual forcible manner. his view of the eveils which now exist and which the coming Congress should and will aim to remedy, but 1t is asserted with emphasis that the. President 8 recommendations will not deal so much with the details of methods as with principles, and that he will leaVe to Congress the working out of the de- tails. ~

IN AGED PHYSICIAN
After Years of Experience Gives the
 Following Advice.

If you have anything to do with medicines at all. be pretty sure you know what you are taking
 Our local druggist, F. c. Fowler, says this is strong point in favor of their valuable cod liver preparation, vinol Everything it contains Is plainly printed on the bottle; therefore, it Is not q patent medicine.
 Vino1 contains in a highly concen- trated form all of the medicinal ele- ments of cod liver oil, actually taken from fresh cods' livers. but without a drop of oil or grease to nauseate and upset the stomach.
 This is the reason that Vinol accom- piisbes such wonderful results in cur ing chronic coughs, colds, bronchial and lung troubles, and there Is noth- ing known to medicine that will so quickly build up the run down, over worked, tired and debilitated, or give strength and renewed vitality to the aged. as vinoI.
 Mrs. Martha Fraser of Portland, Me-. writes: T was all run down from oyerwork and had a chronic cough for years. I had tried so many remedies without help that I had lost all faith in medicine. My daughter bought me bottle of Vinol It simply worked wonders for me; 1t cured my cough and brought back health and strength and am better than I have been for years"
 We can only ask every one :n Mont gomery who needs such a medicine to try Vinol on our guarantee to return their money if it fails.'' E. c. Fowler, Druggist.

assumption down there among the elect fand dyspeptic) is that the Filipino is entitled to his independence Just as the Yankee was in 1T76. This IS really trying to make a Yankee out Of a Fiii- pino, and the thing cannot De done. :. If, instead of arguing from general theories some of these sincere agfta-
 tors. tnot the mirror-pcsing varieiy9 make a study of the situation, the chances are a hundred to one that they would come home with the feeiing so often expressed in the Tart party by should he taken out of politics. The very trouble with the "antis" is that they have been working to accomplish the thing which they now pronounce
 The United States is not trying to make Yankees out of Filipinos: 1t is trying to make men out of them. The great majority are hopeiessly ignorant matters. The more intelligent few are almost equally incapable. They talk glibly of natural governing class and a natural "obedient class" and an- nouncE themselves as the governing fellows. They would he by the ears in quick time if left to themselves. Their ability to comprehent the science of government is illustrated by their fre- duent declaration that, when they be- come independent. they will abolish taxation and run their government without 1t.
 We can understand how agitators who agftate for the sake of the agita- tion, and dyspeptics who disagree with everything through constitutional gift Of chronic contrariness, can stir up this "independence"s talk which has resulted in the deaths of so many fine young men: but people who are in 1t sincerely, and who think they are do- ing good work, are being amazingly misled and we venture to express cer- tain pity for them in their well meant but mfsohievous activities.

Our good neighbcr. Tho Columbus Enquirer-sun. celebrated Thanksgiving Day by sending out a splendid trade and industrial edition of forty-two pages, a copy of which ought to be in every home in that city and vicinity. It is complete exposition of one of the hest and most progressive cities in the South. and the management may well feel proud ef it. The Advertiser heartily congratIlates its neighbor.
 The Selma Journal is going to set out fine Christmas edition of twenty pages. on the 17th inst. The Journal well and faithfully represents the peo- pie of Selma and vicinity and we feel quite sure that the business interests of the community will appreciate the enterprise it is exhibiting. The Jour- nal is an excellent paper and can well and truthful say that 'its aim has al- ways been to make a creditabie paper to Selma" The Journal says:
 "The entire paper will be printed in The Journal office. except of course the iithcgraphesi cover. and tho work will be done by its own stsff."
 The MariSn Standard of last Thurs day says:
 The Standard has just rounded out it's twenty-eeventh year under the new series. Old series. under the name oi The Marion Comm onwealth.

As other celebrations are in order around this offlce this week we think It is suf- fioient to say ''ths paper Is here to stay"
 It Is a great old paper and from it's prosperous appearance one can we'll imagine that it lis here to stay" Just now its editor. Mfr. Charles, H. Greer. President of the Alabama Press Asso- citation, is feeling particularly happy. as he is off on & wedding tour.

MONDAY. DEcEasER {. asos.
rrroRCINa rnn LAW.

They also have an anti-cigarette law Cd Nebraska, and some days ago a young man was arrested for alleged violation of the law. Here is the in- dietment drawn up against him:
 That the accused manufactured 8 cixaret by inclosing tobacco in piece of rice paper, holding the ingredients between his thumb ana - two naagers, a fiopE, applied the proper amount Of saliva and did roll. make. ana caused to exist and be manufactured what Is eos'oa1y s s knDen haDe s,ns. e D tss nssee ana s majesty of the State and in dehance to statutes expressly made and provided.
 We don't happen to know the name of tho man who built this wonderful specimen of legal mechanism, nor do we know enough of the structure of the statute alleged to have been vio- lated to know whether the builder made good job of the indictment or not. but we do know that it is a re- narkable example of legal word build ing. The Omaha World Herald decides that if the defendant were Senator or a trust magnate the indictment would have been dismissed because of technical deficiency. We don't know about that. but our recollection is that the young man was convicted and fiaed for thus trifiing with the sacred stat ntes of Nebraska.
 But wherein can any deficiency be discovered in this structure? The man was charged with violating a law .
 which prohibits the manufacture of cigarettes and the. indictment appears to hit every point. First we find that he enclosed tobacco in a piece of rice paper. The only lame place here is the failure to describe the tobacco or tell the size and shape of the paper, but this may not be essential Then we are informed that he held the ingredients ''between his thumb and two fingers" snd not only that, he "twiried the ar. ticie in opposite directions" and to crown the structure of his turpitude he applied the proper amount of saliva" and. further. did roll. twist and cause to exist one of the co6Ein nails which the laws of tho State of Nebraska de- clare to be the sum of ali villanies.
 How, in the name of Draco and all the rest of lem, could they avoid con. victing a man who had gone through aB this formula? He was charged with the offence of making cigarettes and although 1t was only shown that ha made a single one 1t was violation Of the law and they stuck 1t to him. After this we don't see that d man can feel safe in Nebraska if he has tobacco and paper in his hands at the same time. especially If he gives the combination any sort of twirl. That and the application of saliva was his updoirs.

HOW We Grow:

Baltimore Sun.
 Commenting on the estimate or Postmaster General Cortelvou piacii.s ., thn cast of the postal service for the nnxt fiscal year at nearly $200,00O.0oo, fine Fhiladelphia Telegraph mentions inc suggestive fact that in the days when Benjamin Franklin was Post-
 master General he transacted the bust- ness of the department in his ofnce on Third street, near Market. and locked uu the mails of the country overnight in an ironbound box--still in existence which he kept under hts desk. The growth of the Postotice Department has been even greater than the vast expansion of the country in crea. pop- uIatfon and wealth. It includes great features that were impossible prlor to the era of railways and steam navi- gation. Those great agencies or hu- man progress, together with the telo- graph and modern printing machin- erv. have built up the newspaper and maeaztne interests many hundredfold since Postmaster General Franklir's dav and this enormous growth is re- dected in the immense development of the postal service. Reduction of post age. admission of merchandise rack- ares to the mails and extension of the free list have been great contributions to the amount and cost Of the business Free delivery urban and rural has operated in the same direction. In view of recent enlargement of the areas of free delivery there Is no oc- casion for suprise or regret that there is a deficit of $15.037, 900 for the last fiscal year. There Is, however room for such economies as will reduce the gap between receipts and expendi- lures. If the amount of worthless matter turned out by the government printing office is cut down. there will be less of it hauled in the mails. If the abuses of the franking privileges are reformed. another great saving will be. effected As to the postage rates, they are as low as they ought to be under present conditions. We have what the British people call pen nv postage" for two American cents are equal to an English penny.
