PEOPLE OUGHT TO BENEFIT

The earnings of railroads continue
TO increase, some of them pay divi-
dends on water and others put the
earnings in extending their lines,
freight rates go up like kite, but the
people get no benefit. AS showing the
increased earnings this statement is
taken from the Manufacturers Record.
1.-The statement of fourteen promi-
rent railroad companies operating IN
the South and covering the last SIN
months of 1904 furnish conclusive evil
dence of the prosperity prevailing
throughout the field of Transportation
in this section of the country, and
they also indicate a continuance OF
profit and progress during the pres
ent year
And yet WHEN Mr.. Laughinghouse
introduces bill to reduce passenger
rates to two and half cents. the rail-
road spokesman tell such a tale CT
woe that one is inclined to pass
around the hat to keep them out of the
poor house.
Wanted: To preserve the parity be"
tween the statements of railroads when
they are Offering bonds for sale and
when they wish TO prevent reduction
in rates or increase in assessment.

THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also a Few Facts on the Same Sub

We hear much nowadays about
health foods and hygienic living. about

along the same line.
Restaurants may be found IN the
large cities where no meat, pastry or
coffee is served and the food crank IL
In his glory, and arguments and the
cries galore advanced to prove that
meat was never intended for human
stomachs, and almost make us believe
that our sturdy ancestors who lived
four score years in robust health on
roast beef, pork and mutton must have
been grossly ignorant OF the laws OF
health.
our forefathers had other things 10
do than formulate theories about the
food they ate. A warm welcome was
extended to any kind from bacon to
acornS.
A healthy appetite and common
sense are excellent guides to follow
m matters of diet, and mixed diet
Of grains. fruits and meats is UNI
doubtedly the best.

tables, meat furnishes the most nutri-

Matthew 5:31, 50.
Says the Union Gospel News:
'"The divorce habit has come to be
so well established in America, that 1t
will soon be well nigh as hard to over
throw as the liquor business. some
of the figures are startling. Since 1867,
that is, in less than forty years,
roc, 900 divorces have been granted in
the United States against sixty nine
for the same period in Canada,
The Gospel News is right when it
says there are more often motives than
grounds for divorce. There are en-
tlrely too many early remarriages after
divorces are granted.
Injustice and injury result from lax
divorce laws and there is much more
danger of making such laws too lenient
than in making them too stringent.
Many people believe that the divorce
laws of our state are now entirely TOO

THE BIG ISSUE IN 1906.

What will be the big issue in 1906
if the House fails to pass the Ward
bill? 1t VIII be this: Was ii right
fer the Democrats to drive out all the
small little rural stills except the rich
ones at Shore and Williams and to
continue the special privilege un-
wisely Given them? The mis-
take of the Legislature of 1908 in
Incorporating these towns cost the
Democratic party a member of Con-
gress in the campaign of 1904 and
would have given it more serious In
Jury, but Democratic legislative cam
didates in doubtful counties We're en-
platte in disappearing that legislation
and some of them promised to put
such sham towns out Of business. They
are redeeming this promise by voting
for the Ward bill, and preventing the
question of Williams and Shore loom
ing up as the big issue in 1906.
The legislators of 1903 made a great
mistake when they chartered Williams
and Shore and other little still munich
haste and without due elaboration.
They reIanted at leisure. If legislators
of 1895 do not wipe out these towns
and make it impossible to have other
like towns to give trouble i'm the flu
t,,rc they will deliberately make the
same great mistake, and they VIII be
making it in the light of events that
leaves no excuse of haste or inadvert-
ence or being done under misappre~
hension. They will be Shining
against light and knowledge
DO we wish to have the special
privilege" to Williams and Shore and
other still towns loom up as a COM
manding issue In 1906? If not, we
must pass the Ward bill or repeal all
the charters and provide against
transferring present stills to like mu-
inequalities that depend wholly upon
distilleries.
