ARnuT EGGs.

The faddist we have always with us. and the food faddist is especially permanent and vexations, If the whole formulate their bills of fare so that they would be in thorough harmony. person could either follow them or re- fuse to do it. but there's the difficulty. They have as many ideas and plans and theories as Congress has on any important measure. and If you under take to follow one you will meet another. They are various. for fact
 Just now some of them have been set of on new tack by the announce ment that the President eats hard boiled eggs for breakfast. If s9me one were to announce that he breakfasts on fce-cream and msnce pie it would not cause greater surprise and eondemna- ton to some of the food cranks They will tell you that eating egks thus cooked Is deliberate and premeditated suicide, and they are filled with won- der that the President of the whole country should set such horrid ex- ample to those who may be inclined to follow in his footsteps.
 There are many persons who will not eat a partially cooked egg except as a matter of necessity. If they want eggs real bad and can't get them boiled until thoroughly done, they may force them down when half cooked, but thsy do 1t with a mental protest. It is no use te tell them that hard-boiled eggs are not good for them for they know better. They have eaten them all through life and have never ex- perienced any i'll effects, and no amount of arguing and warning will convince them to the contrary.
 And why should these faddists trou- ble themselves about what the PresI- dent eats, or put forth solemn warn ings against his bill of fare? We take 1t for granted that he knows what diet is good for him and he is the best judge. If he wants his eggs boiled hard as billiard balls let him have them so and eat them in peace and good appetite. As for that matter. the man who tries to prove to him that he is wrong has a hard job on his hands. and q profitless one.

| Choctaw Advocate. N MT. Conner must take the people of Alabama to be all fools, or else he thinks they are of short memory. In bama he, over his own signature, speaking of Dr. Cunningham, said:
 Will also challenge him to state If he is serious in the proposition to gia rate as the maximum, why he has not been going through the State ex- blaming to the people how 1t could be done. and advising them to elect evident. if the legislature does not con- cur in these alleged views. the whole thing would be a failure. And I will notify him, If he does not know it, that 1t has been published in the pa- pers that the railroads are going to try to elect, the House and Senate, and are not only trying but are going to continue to try to elect the house and the Senate, and he has not spoken one word of protest or advice"
 In Selma short time ago he said in his speech:
 T want to tell you that these re- ports that have gone about in various counties trying to interfere with their local affairs Is not true want to say to you have not opposed any man for the legislature and have not tried to dictate to any county the sort of a man they should send to the legis-
 When Mir. Conner started into this campaign. every utterance of his was in keeping with the sentiment ex- pressed in the paragraph extracted from printed address to the voters of the State. Now when he sees that the voters of Alabama are disposed to re- sent his interference in local affairs. he shifts to the latter position. or in tently in order to gain personal favor. This is not the first time Mir. Conner has changed his position for populari- ty since he entered into this race. The people won't have this kind of man for governor. and Mir. Conner will so find out in August.

 Just what MT. Conner and his mouth pieces of the press expect to gain by vilirying Alabama's veteran senator Is hard to understand.-Mobile Herald.
 Why they get this: Conner has abus- ed every Democratic administration be- ginning with ONeaI, right down the line" every Legislature and the Con- stitutional Convention. No public men were left except Morgan and Pettus If Conner can succeed in destroying them that will leave him the only pa triot in the State in twenty years He will, therefore, be elevated on very high pedestral. It is very easy to know why 2 Conner paper wants to attack Morgan and Pettus.

The United States court of appeals at New York recently dismissed the appeal of the American Publishers as- sociation for rule to prohibit de- uartment stores from selling books be- low prices fixed by the association. The publishers may not have suspected it but their appeal was the very sub limation of the trust idea. The de- partment stores buy books from the publishers al the 1atter's prices and then sell them just as they please: in fact there Is nothing tn hinder their giving them away If they want tc. The next thing we know the publish CTS will be refusing to sell their wares to the department stores, and then there will be rscket.-ChattanOoga Tfmea
 That suit Of the publishers was one of the eheekiest propositions that ever went before any court, and very much resembles some of the efforts of the unions to hamper the actions of oth- CTS. With equal justice some associa- ton or combination might bring suit to prevent a merchant selling hIs goods at reduced prices.

growing scarcity of farm laborers. If the Italians can fully supply that de- mand. as the above article would have us understand, they are the people we ns~d. We have some doubts about it. however
 The South and her cotton fields are not alone in needing more labor. In the great grain region of the middle West and Southwest the same cry goes up--ths cry, to use the language of the Savior to his disciples: .-rhe harvest truly Is plenteous, but the la borers are few" The harvesting of the grain crops is q work that must be done at the proper time or great loss is the result. and the complaint Of insufficient help Is general. Then, too. the numerous and extensive railroad projects under way or in contempia- ton are absorbing their thousands of werksrs. and this. by the way. Is one reason for the scarcity of laborers in tns cotton fields The negroes by thousands leave the farms and seek work on railroad building.
 fA"3 PiSScHe thatcatVhs CoHsiuer- ably more than one million European immigrants will reach our shores dur inr the present year. and the number may go up to million and half. Heretofore very large per centass of this Influx has stopped In the East or has gone to the West and Northwest. but of late there are efforts making with some degree of success to bring to the South a portion of them. and such as are best fitted for the work here. By this means the great and growing scarcity of labor here may be relieved gradually and completely in time. The question of labor supply Is an important one, and we may assume that it can only be solved by immiEra- ton.

Sincere friends of the President can hardly take comfort from the fact that candidate and platform of the Penrose machine convention st Harrisburg. Pa. have his endorsement. If he had thrown the weight Of his influence and once on the side of reform there would have been little doubt of decent government in that politically degrad- ed State but he chose to ally himself with the corrupt gang that has so long disgraced Pennsylvania and will probably pull it through. It will be no credit to him if he succeeds.

some than ever. Tn this province Bruin
 Is protected by law through the long
 season when his fur is thin, and in consequence his family is increasing
 rather rapidly in some sections.
 On the Gatineau mother looking a1ter her little ones saw two of the children standing pretty close to a big
 surly bruite, which was gobbling up
 the berries gathered by the children. The bear must have grown angry at
 their presence, for, making dash at the little party, he struck the finest
 one a fierce blow with his forepaw, and then stalked away. The blow sent three long claws right through clothes and flesh and broke two ribs.
 It was probably the same beast which came back the second night after and made havoc of several packed boxes of fruit, tearing them open and rolling about over the spilled berries.
 The bears were not always so sour ly and mlsthIevous. One hysterical girl of or years was alarmed to to see a fine young bear approaching at a
 quick walk. She begged the brute to
 let her alone. "See,' she said, If you
 will, I'll give you all my blueberries."
 and with that she emptled her ard
 pail of fruit on the path and stepped aside The bear accepted the invita- tion 'quetly and deliberately lay down to enjoy the ftast at his ease, allowing
 the terrified child to step past and
 make her way safely to where the older children were waiting.
 On the saguenay the pickers were holding a festival a litHe while ago when at dinner time couple of great Whitenosed bears and two cubs came running toward them from the woods. The whole party being unarmed de-
 camped hastily, pursued by the beasts, which were rapidly gaining on them when they reached the waterside,
 where the canoes were. They embarked
 safely but one of the women then
 discovered to her anguish that the bundle she had snatched up was not
 her baby, which had been left in the shade of some trees.

Down to tI,e Sen.

Let us go down to the sea, ere the
 noisy day be over. Let us go down to the sea and strip us
 of care and of toll; There are graves in the heart of man
 that only the sea can cover, There are deeds in the life of man to be
 sown as the deep sea spoil. Flee from the surging of sound, that
 urges us on to the morrow, Wrest from the mereiless round that
 returns With the birth of the sun, Free us of harrassing thought and the
 winds wild plnion borrow, Yet there is room for the heart where
 the wind and the wave are one And the grief which lieth behind US
 give to the grace of forgetting. And the faith that is dimned let us
 shrive with the clean. keen salt of
 the sea.
 And the fruitless doubt let us fling be-
 yond the bound of regrettirig, Where ouly the wave and the sky and
 the soul of man may be. Earth, the mother, hath balm for her
 world stained sons aNd daughters. Earth, the mother, hath balm for her
 toll spent hearts and sad, Time cannot curb nor deny Gods boun-

THE UBIQUIHOUS 4 UTO.

The automobile has come to stay. Whlzzing, ill-smelling, audacious, pug Inaclous and ofttlmes regardless or ob- livious of the rights of the pedestrian, it is here and is an important factor in swift locomotion, in pleasure trips and tours, and likewise for freight trans portation in our cities. It's march is onward and New Haven, once the cen- ter of the great carriage manufacturing industry of the United States (and later much reduced from that lofty eminenee by the establishment of the industry in the West, nearer the base of supplles) has in the last few years added the business of making automobiles in it's carriage factories, until this is now an important part of the work done by our carriage makers. And this leads to the consideration of new action regard ing autos just taken in Massachusetts
 and perhaps similar action will be talk en dn Connecticut. The recent report of the Massachusetts highway commits sioners declares that an extra appro- pmation of $50,0oO will be needed from the State to repair the damage done to the roads by automobiles. Moreover, in this complaint the State highway com missioners are joined and abetted by the metropolitan park commissioners and the Boston park commissioners. The theory of the situation is that the broad rubber tires of the motor Car riages lift up the top layer of light ma terial covering the crushed stone of the macadam pavement and scatter it, leaving the stone bare and exposed to the weather, which soon gets in it's work and begins 8 disintegraung proc- ess The top layer ordinarily acts as binder" and fills the interstices hold ing the whole together and keeping the

top solid. The heavy Aish-power auto mobiles pick up and spread about this top layer on the pavement, and 1t is well known that they stir up big dust as they speed along. The com missioners suggest graded tax ac- cordlng to the weight and horsepower of the machine, which shall be im- posed upon all auto-vehicies for the purpose of meeting this extra expense, and, as the machines are responsible for it, such measure would seem not unfair The authorities in England have under consideration the imposition of a tax for like purpose in that coun- tr,,
