Oh. but we've done got The Norfolk Landmark, Columbia State, Charlotte Observer, and even The Washington Herald faded in the poetry business. Not that our poet is an AIabamian, for we don't have 'em of that brand, we beg to- inform you. This one is an Oklahoma product, who has written a poem of eleven stanzas-there should have been thirteen-to "oSr President Theodore Roosevelt" Space is too val uable to publish all of it. even if the machines would stand it. If he were a Carolina or Virginia rhymester. the pa- pers over there would give him at least half a column, but we can't stand so much as they can, so we give only the concluding stanza, thus:
 Let all men be honest and give their
 honest views,
 Then Roosevelt will surely hear
 proud praises far and near, For his work and honor-and our
 Country will enthuse
 All civilization ever his character to
 endear.
 Now. if there's any fellow on the Atlantic side of the universe who can set away with that. let him be trotted out. and put on exhibition. We should like to hear from him.

CUTICURA REMEDIES
 EFFECTED 4 CURE

"I had salt rheum for three years op my hands, arms, and face and thought 1t would get all over me. I tried four or five doctors but they failed and my husband has spent hundreds of dollars in trying everything we could hear of. But l grew worse and worse, my han6s itched a'wfully and could get no rest at all. was just in agony all the time because when they did not itch they were SO dry and crackly that was mis- erabIe and when they cracked, they bled. The nails of my finger and thumb began to come of, and my hands were a solid sheet of sores. Several of my friends told me to try the Cuticura Remedies so I got cake of Cuticura Soap and box of Cuticura Ointment and from the first my hands began to improve and now they are well, and think that the Cuticura Remedies are worth their weight in gold, and I advise every one that has skin trouble to use them.

The Judge and the Railroad.

New York World.
 Federal Judge Thomas G. Jones of Alabama has ordered the Louisville and Nashville Railroad to restore all its rates in Alabama to what they were on January 1st.
 The Legislature passed a law mak- ing the rates on January 1 a maximum which must not be exceeded. As if daring the state. the railroad put come law. It will have to recede.
 Judge Jones is the learned Judge who recently issued a preliminary in- junction restraining rates lowered by statute and who was sharply criticised for his act. He could not well have ruled otherwise, as the Railroad Com mission let that case go by default. filing neither plea, demurrer. answer nor contradictory affidavit to the sworn bills which on their face, showed in- adequate returns.
 For enforcing justice upon the Lou isville and Nashville Railroad Judge Jones will probably not be abused. For enforcing justice toward the Southern Railway he was abused; In the minds of many. corporations have no rights to protect.

Misleading Allegation.

NEWS A1Cducfs
 The Roanoke Evening World notes that whenever the advocates of a protective tariff begin to discuss the question of revision, or oppose the views of those who demand reduction of tariff duties. they pretend to believe and seek to impress the public with the idea that the only change which tarifH reformers demand is a change from protection to free trade. Here our contemporary directs attention to a phrase of the tariff issue which can not be kept too prominently before the too thoroughly enlightened in the. in' terest of truth vs misrepresentation Pretend to believe is good, salient, and strikes at the root. of q policy of disingenuousness and deception. me me stand-patters and their journalistic fuglemen know full well that hst.1 no sane sane fir revisionist, would think of giving the country's business the violent wrench of sudden and arbitrary change from the present. order; oppres- sive as 1t is. to free trade. and In ringing changes to the contrary the champions of Dingleyism are guilty of the grossest effort to mislead the peo- nIn
