 2 President Roosevelt is II. e.o degree responsible for the undue a..a onerous prosperity or the south, but ne is re- sponsfble for the general insanity on the subject of railroads which all sorts ot communities betray every wherc througnoul the country. He has too lightly estimated hIs own influence, and especially the contaglon of hIs ex- ample. Indeed. theiS can be no man- her of doubt that he inust feel that the people are now overdoing It. that they are going much further than he ever intended that they should go. If he will abandon himself to a lew mo- ments reflection he will see that the results are bound to be infinitely worse for the South than Tor the Southern railroads. A nfisled and infatuated people can bankrupt railroad cor poration without any. great difficulty. but how are they going to indemnity themselves for the infinitely greater damage they infiict on themsslves?
 A wise and timely Word of advice to President Roosevelt would do more good at this juncture than anything else that can be imagined. The. pop ular belief is that ne would iike to wreck all the railroads. and there is very general determination that he shall not lack help. MT. Roosevelt. Of course entertains no such ambition. Nothing could be further from his do- sire than to wreck any railroad Ho wants to cnasten them.

4 CORRECTION.

few days ago we published 2 home recipe for the quick cure or colds, coughs and 1ungs trouble, tnr rilshed by a noted specialist of Pplla- delphia who instituted the pine Tor est treatment for consumptivs n the first copies of the paper there wwas w an error in the prescription but thls was subsequently, corrected ine CT. TOT was of minor importance. but we reprint the formula just as 1t should be. Mix up one half ounce of Con- centrated oil of pine, with two ounces of glycerine and half pint of good whisky. Shake well and use in table- spoon doses every four hours"
 The errcr In the first copies above mentioned was that the formula called for one ounce of Concentrated oil of pine instead of one half ounce.
 Tho Concentrated oil of pine comes put up for medical use only in half ounce viais inclosed in small round from heat and light. While the error would cause no harm as Is shown by the fact that the drug is taken raw, few drsJs at a time on sugar in cases of uric acid rheumatism and lumbagc still we desire that the form nla go tc the public exactly as it was furnished by the doctor.
 This pine preparation is compara- lively new, but is welcomed by doc- quality long desired In an oil of pine.
 It should be added that there are patent medicine limitations of this goods labeled oil of pine, but these can be avoided by making sure to get the Concentrated" oil of nine In screwtop box. Then you will have the real article.

Time to Call a Halt.

N0W 1OFk sun.
 A well equiped. effective railroad. transporting, for Illustration we will say, ten thousands of tons of freight a day. can do its work well and earn its axed charges, a just and proper divi- dend for It's shareholders and provide Tor its reasonable betterments But 1T the ten thousand tons day Is sud- denly increased to fifteen thousand tons day the result is very diff ferent. The road will transport the tonnage, 1t Is true, but under vastly less effi . clents conditions and at greatly in- creased cost, The margin for it's bet terments, will disappear first: its divi- dend VIII go next. and unless 1t can get new and large capital its property will become Appreciated and its credit
 When we add to these conditions the increase in the cost of everything that a railroad has to buy. the enormous advance In the price of engines and of all kinds of cars. and the formidable demands of labor. which have every where been met. 1t must be apparent to the most sasual observer that the outlook calls for very serious consider ation.
 In the cLrcnmstances one would suppose that the administration of a railroad had a sufficient burden im- most superhuman difficulties of, oper- ation to be overcome. every hour strained day and night to satisfy. in some fashion, the public demands: Not 
 ent clamor for lower rates for all class es of transportation the legislatures everywhere are being invoked. and sue cessfully invoked. to attack the rail- roads to cut down their tariffs. to im- pose all sorts of penalties for car short age and for inadequate service. and to harass in every conceivable way the thrice unhappy railroad executive What Is going to come of 1t all?
 In the case of the railroad South ern Railway we have instaneed. we suppose that one hundred millions or dollars could wisely and justifably be expended upon 1t at once in view "f the actual and prospectiye conditions in the Southern States. Where Is the m,onav n come from?
