Democrats all over the state are be.
ing urged to vote straight for the state
candidates Of their party at the coming
election. This appeal to party is good
for republicans to keep in mind. They
can have the satisfactory assurance in
mind that a republican victory is al
ways helpful to every legitimate and
desirable purpose. The officers to be
voted for on Monday, April first, are
important from every point of view,
but republican victory rather than
republican defeat is not less important
and desirable.

Whatever may be their mood in the
matter of local issues and local candi-
dates at the coming election. republi-
cans should not fail to vote for their
party candidates on the state ticket. In
the midst of city and village and town
ship contests at spring elections the
privilege and duty of having every re-
publican vote count one for the candi-
dates who more directly represent the
principles of their party as whole is
sometimes neglected. Don't neglect it
at the coming election, and don't per-
NIT your neighbor to neglect it if you
can help it.

Cut Green Bone,

Green bone Is the cheapest and most
important feed you can give laying
hens about twice each week. Give
them all they will eat. About all it
costs Is the labor of grinding. and
there are many good mills on tie mar
ket that do the work satisfactorily.
Your local hatcher will give you as
many bones as you want to grind,
and your hens will thank you for
them.

Congressman Burton, of Ohio, states
that he favors the nomination of Secre-
tary Taft for the presidency in case
Pres. Roosevelt will not run. Asked
whether he thought President Roose-

he might. A good workman likes to be
on the job until the task is done If at
the end of his term President Roosevelt
should have some big work unfinished
he would consent to run again"

details, of European countries that are
supposed to be on the whole consider
ably slower. Thus those who have
friends abroad have been receiving for
some time past souvenir post cards
with writing on the left half of the side
which has been reserved by our gov
eminent for the address. With the
present month, however, this is changed
in accordance with an order issued by
Postmaster. General Cortelyou four
months ago. 1t is obviously step in
advance to which there can be no con-
ceivable objection, which accommo-
dates the public and cannot fail at the
same time to increase the postal reve-
nue.. 1t will now be possible to send
souvenir post card with one side fully
covered by picture and at the same
time scribble some message of remem-
brance on the half of the other side,
from which writing of any kind other
than the address was formerly excluded.

The regulation Of the use of steam

OF the minor matters upon which the
present legislature is expected to take
action. In cities. and especially in
this city the annoyance Of needless
whistling approaches the character of
a nuisance; and as the cities grow.
SO does the number of afflicted citizens
increase
The legislative committee on mer-
camille affairs mas before it several
propositions for the silencing OF steam
whistles more or less completely. or
these drafts of bills IL may be said
that the nearest absolute prohibition
is the best.
There is no need of the use of steam
whistles under the ordinary conditions
OF modern city life. The whistling of
locomotives within the city limits is
already forbidden, and no DISADVANTAGE
has been observed. There remains the
worse inniction Of the factory whistle.

The most successful building opera
tions this year will be in the business
district, as in other part of the city a
{ ecline is manifest-due, perhaps, to the

rage is still unchecked, and the COM
ing year will see a taller class of build
ings than ever. These grand structures
in the crooked, down town streets re-
call the caustic lines Of the first poet
this city ever produced-Philp Freneau
who more than a century ago, wrote
as follows OF the early settlers;
They modelled their streets from the
horns OF a ram,
And the name that best pleased them
was New Amsterdam"
In justice to these settlers, however. it
should be remembered that they hud-
died near the fort at the Battery for
protection from the Indians, who then
held the rest of the island and were
constant source of danger.

more systematic and aggressive cam

But Does Not Hurt Him.

Atlanta. Ca, July 19.-G. p. Terry

clothing and shoes by bolt of light

Terry was out driving with a friend
and took refuge from the storm in a
negro's store on Frazier street. Ter
RVS friend drove the team to shelter
and Terry started to enter the store
when the bolt descended.
The lightning hit him at the left
elbow passed up the arm to the
shoulder, then down his back and
both legs to his feet, completely di-
vesting him of his clothing, shoes and
socks. Terry was not even uncon-
scious, but was rather weak He was
wrapped in a sheet and was driven
home. DR.. Baird found four small
spots on Terry's body where the
lightning touched. but no real injury.
