for one, retorts the New York Com
mercial.
There's something about the ap-
proach of a presidential campaign,
notes the New Haven Register, which
seems to have a miraculous effect on
political dry bones.
Another way to avoid a charge Of
manslaughter, suggests the ~Indianap-
oils News, is not to give the machine
SO much speed.
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
admits that an elastic currency that
will flip a few shekels into our purse
might not be Objectionable.
Money doesn't make the man, urges
the Chicago News. but a little thing
like that doesn't worry the man who

1t costs $4,000 a day to run the Lusi-
tania. No wonder she makes such
quick trips, comments the Atlanta Con-
stitution.
The tune "Hiawatha" has been pre-.
scribed for congestion Of the liver.
Never mind. Pass along the conges-
ton, pleads the New York American.
For the future, that Georgia horse

In view Of the immensely increasing
demand of the country's shippers, it
may very probably be accepted as a
fact, observes the Pittsburg Press,
that the car shortage will be perma-

The weather scientists hold that the
equinox has nothing whatever to do

cording to the doctrine held by the

report that in three States alone the
commissioners of agriculture call for
