THE MAJESTY OF THE LAW
Not Essential to the Drawing of an
Understandable
Will.

Every man who has ever tried to guess
one of those cOnundrums known as in
surance policies, or who has ever at
tempted to translate into intelligent
English any legal document, with all its
whereases and its herebys and its afore-
saids, will appreciate the sentiments Of
Deacon Elphonzo Youngs, Of Washing
ton, who, when making his will, bark
ened to the lawyers opening paragraph
and then exclaimed:
Rats! all there is about this is thai
at my death l want by eyer-faithful ant
devoted wife, Amelia, to have and con
troll everything l possess"
If that will would not hold in law
says the Four-Track News-there be
ing no possible room for doubt as to the
intent thereof-the fault is with the law
not the will.

ability displayed on the floor Of the
senate. 1t is admitted by old members
oI congress that at no time within
their recollection have there been more
able men in the upper sbranch of con-
gress than at the present time. An
examination of the records of congress
ana the debates held in the days so
much talked of when Benton, Calhoun.
Clay and Webster were great figures
IN the senate, does not show any SUI
perlority over the profound discussions
that have taken place within the past
few weeks.
SUCH men as Knox, of Pennsylvania,
Spooner of Wisconsin, Rayner, Of
maryland, Bailey and CulbersOn, of
Texas, Fulton, of Oregon, Foraker, of
Oh1o, Dolliver, of Iowa, and Long, of
Kansas, have contributed to the debate
on the railway rate question more in
formation, more sound reasoning on
constitutional points than has ever
been heard in the senate within the
same period of time. The big law Ters
OF the senate are mighty careful what
they say on a constitutional point, as
the law which they are trying to con-
struct will eventually be passed upon
by the supreme court of the United
States. The latter body in constituting
the law is in the habit of studying
closely the debates in congress that
were had while the laws were being
formed. Forthis reason constitutional
experts like Senators Knox, Spooner
or Bailey are very careful to have
their arguments well thought out be-
fore delivering them.
Senators do not care to have their
names ASSOCIATED with law declared
unconstitutional by the supreme court.
They have a good deal of pride in
their own knowledge and ability and
they are anxious to put up to the SUI
preme court such laws as will stand
the full test of constitutionality.

from President Roosevelt down, are de-
termined to do him honor. 1t was first
thought that dinner should be given
in his honor, but since then it has
been decided that the affair shall take
the form of splendid reception and a
thousand or more guests will be in
vited to shake the veterans hand and
attest their respect and affection for
him. It's function will partake to
some degree of the character of POI
litical boom for "Uncle Joe," as GER
tain Of his friends are determined to
put him in the field for the presidential
nomination in 1908.
Among the public men who Go not
believe that Mr.. Cannon is too old to
be nominated for president is Presi-
dent Roosevelt himself. The latter re-
CARDS the veteran Illinois statesman IS
so vigorous in mind and body as to
silence any criticism of his age The
speaker takes all this talk of his can
didacy in good part and does not allow
himself to be led away or influenced
one whit by the complimentary things
said of him. He said the other day
be speaker of the house and then re-
tire in favor of some one else. He con-
siders the place he holds as second
only in honor and power to that Of the
presidency.
Speaker Cannon says that he has
great desire to get through with the
work of congress and get out home
among the Danville folk He is great
lover of the country and of country
fare. He wants to get out and see the
crops grow, especially the corn. He
holds the record in Washington as an
eater of roasting ears. During their
| season they are one of the staple ar
ticles of food upon Mr.. Cannon's din
ner table. Some of his facetious
friends have suggested that it would
be cheaper for him to live in a livery
stable, as he is so fond of corn.

A GIANT BUILDING
NEW YORK TO HAVE HIGH
EST OFFICE STRUCTURE.
It Will Be Thirty Stories High and
Will Cost S3,25O,ooo-To Be L.
Gated on Lower Broadway at
Cortlandt Street.

Giant among office buildings of the
world, the City Investing Building
company will tower above the great
structures Of lower Broadway, New
York city. This latest product of the
architect and builders art is to be
80 stories high in it's central part and
% stories throughout the remainder
1t will cover a ground area of q
600 square feet at RFcS.5Ssr ~ and Cort.
landt street, surrounding the old Ben
edict building The western part will
cover the site of the Coal and Iron
Exchange, at Cortlandt and Church
streets, with "a frontage in Cortlandt
street of 209 feet and of 103 feet in
Church street. The Broadway en-
trance will be in Nos. 165 and 167
and main corridor SO feet wide will
run through to Church street, : dis
lance of 315 feet.
The cost of this pile will be more
than $3,250,000. Ia line with the
policy of Robert E. Bowling, president
of the City Investing company, to give
to tenants quick and abundant trans
portation facilities, the building will
have II elevators.
1t is probable that the building will
have an entrance to the McAdoo tun-
mel, which will come up to Church
street, under Cortlandt street, and
will turn north under the south side
of that thoroughfare. This has not
yet been decided upon.
In style of architecture the building
will be what is technically known as
free Italian. The adoption of this
type of architecture has given the
architect, Francis H. Kimball, an op-
portunity to produce a structure
whose massive appearance will be i'm
posing.

struggle TO make this declaration, as
only month ago he had announced
that he would stand for reelection.
Mr.. Alger has been in delicate health
for number of years but by careful
watching and nursing he has been able
to continue in the public service and
perform work calculated to PROSTATE a
much stronger man. He has suffered a
great deal from weakness of the heart
and this feature of his physical condi-
ton is what has compelled him to re
tire from public life.
Senator Alger in lis life and achieve
ments presents to the American youth
an example worthy of their emula-
ton. He is another Of the scores and
hundreds Of rich and successful Amer
leans who began life as a poor boy.
Like most public men he was born on
a farm and at the age of eleven years
lost both his parents. At that early
age he did farm work, and was farm
laborer for seven years, attending
school in the winter and later teaching
school to secure money to pay for his
education. He studied law and was adj
mitted to the bar, but on the breaking
out of the war, he gave up his profess
sion and entered the army.
Gen. Ayers record in the civil war
is one of the most brilliant in the vol
unteer service. He served almost four
years and participated in Sc battles
and skirmishes. He rose from the rank
Of captain in the Second Michigan cav
airy to that of brevet major general of
the United States volunteers. During
the Spanish war in relating to some
young officers his experience he said
that while colonel of the Fifth Michi-
gan cavalry he and his command were
overtaken one night by storm and
OivOuaced in an open field. They went
to sleep and in the morning when he
awoke he looked out over. field Of
white hummocks, snow having fallen
Turing the night which covered his
whole command, while asleep.
