A Large Increase in the Use of
Bottled Beer.

90 1t is matter of widespread note, -
said an official of the Internal Revenue
Bureau recently. TINT the consumption
of beer is increasing at great rate.
while the consumption of strong drinks
is decreasing, compared to increase Of
population. | assume that the big in
crease III consumption Of bottled beers
is due to several causes One, of
course, is that the people like them. The
other is the growing temperance senti-
ment. The amount of alcohol in it is
small, and people feel no evil conse-
quences of it's use There is a growing
sentiment that temperance is surer and
better promoted by tho development of
n taste for mild drink than by prohibi-
tive laws Beer seems 10 be best adapt
ed for this purpose, Although wine
would, perhaps, answer the purpose also,
and most excellent wines are produced
In California, and many parts Of our
country are we'll adapted to wine cul
ture, yet wine has greater alcoholic
strength than beer, is not as cheap, and,
for some reason or other, the American
people do not seem to favor it. ~
One reason why beer is growing in
favor lies in the perfection of the art
of brewing, which in the present era
has reached n very high state OF devel-
opment The most marked tendency of
the times has been the brewing of

A Roosevelt Man.


Col Obadiah Stevens, railroad commits
sloner of the State of Georgia, ought 10
be taken note OF by the President OF the
United States. Col. Stevens is a man
after the Presidents own heart, and is
not only well qualified for a Cabinet port
folio, but doubtless plays a rafting game
of tennis.
Not q great while ago, Mr.. Bowdrey
Phynize editor of the Augusta Herald
became very much upset in his mind over
the condition of the Georgia Railroad
from Augusta to Atlanta. According to
this observant Augustan. the roadbed was
OF the worst possible character. the equip
ment wretched, and. in fact. If there was
anything that was not wrong. the editor
expressed himself as utterly unable to
find it, Mr. Phynze leveled much edi-
torial hot shot at Col Stevens commits
sion. In big black type, the commits
sioners were called upon to get things
fixed up, and to see that the wicked
railroad I'll up the gaps along the way,
remove all the broken rails, and prop up
the trestes
Then awoke the Rooseveltsm in Col.
Stevens soul He has called upon the
editor tc walk from Atlanta to Augusta

out the tottering trestles. the dangerous
places. and ali the other things which
have brought forth the huiiabaloo. The
proposes to camp along the
way, personally inspect and test all the
he finds sample the foods fur
nished by the station eating-houses, talk
10 the employees. and otherwise provide
himself with exact facts and figures con-
cerning the road. Indeed, It is not at all
improbable that he viii issue an illus
trated statement concerning his findings
when he gets home. and incidentally
make this Augusta Poultaey Blgelow look
like some % OF 80 cents!
That's the spirit needed throughout this

Our Inland waterways.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
We have simply failed 10 realize the
possibilities of these three or four trunk
streams, their innumerable tributaries.
and the smaller rivers which Providence
has planted as potential highways In
nearly every State in the Union. We
have, instead permitted the annual ap-
preparation for rivers and haxbOrs 10 de-
generate into a mad scramble for local
favors, the upsh0t of which is influenced
more by political pressure Of favoritism
than considerations for the national wei
fare. These river systems should be To-
day auxiliaries to the railroads of the
country. They should be more. Furnish
ing cheap transportation to finished or
crude products to the ports OF the Gulf
OF Mexico, OF those on either the Allan
tic or Pacific coast, they should, a decade
ago, have constituted checkmate

Trust Tariff Exaotions from Railroads.

The purchasing department CT the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company has prepared
a statement showing the increased cost Of
standard railway material from 1904 to
1860. the prices for the latter year having
been maintained. where they have not
been increased. up TO the present time
The statement contains these items:
Axes. 25 per cent; iEon castings. -571s rer cent;
zig mon, 4ls per cent; hsnlock lumber ass Der
cont pig copper, 93ss per cent; steel biets. 276
per cent car wheels. Il per cent Fuel from 10
10 per cent more.
All these important materials have to
be bought in a protected and trust
ridden market. The steel trust, the lum-
Der trust, the coal trust. and the copper
trust are the benehciaries of the high
prices the railroads have to pay for their
supplies. and there is a heavy protective
duty on every article mentioned above,
save pig copper.
In addition, Mr.. Rockefeiier's great
benevolent enterprise, not content with
exacting rebates and secret low freight
rates. charges the helpless railroads two
or three prices for the oil they are forced
10 buy from the octopus.
1t looks as If the railroads, as heavy
consumers, might with advantage to
themselves take an active hand in tariff
reforming and trust busting.

Chicago,s First Born.

The first child born in Chicago. not a full
blood Indian. died in that city the other
day at the age Of eighty-five His name
was Alec Reaubien. His father was a
Frenchman and his mother a half-blood
Indian. Chicago at that time was a
struggling village in the marshes of Lake
Michigan. Il is believed that the first
white girl born in Chicago is the ac-
complished wife Of Gen ". W. Gordon,
Of Savannah, Ga, one of the leading citi-
zens Of his State. Mrs Gordon is not an
aged woman. and is still the acknowledged
leader of Savannah society, than which
there is no more cultured or exclusive
circle in the country. One of her daugh-
ters is the wife of Representative Rich
ard Wayne Parker. of the Seventh New
Jersey district. who has been in Congress
a dozen years. Gen. Gordon, who won
distinction in the Confederate army. bore
commission from President Mckinley
RS q brigadier general in the war with
Spain, and was a member OF the Cuban
evacuation commission. Gen. and Mrs.
Gordon visit Washington frequently, and
have a large circle of friends in this city
and New York.

From the New York Herald.
Frank Trumbull, president Of the Colo

turned from Chicago in an optimistic
frame OF mind over the continued pros
perity of the West.
1T IS good TO get out Of the dust storm

out OF ones eyes, and be reminded over
again what a big country this is. Bust
ness in Chicago and all over the West con
tinues good-sO good. indeed. that some
Of the railroads are not yet taking care Of
it promptly.
If We look at our situation in an unruf-
fed way we can count up a number Of
blessings. For example, no rate wars. no
rebates. no retaliatory railroad construc-
tion no apprehension Of paralysis over
thousands of miles of territory by strikes
of railroad employees, because the railroad
managers offer 10 settle upon certain fig
ures OF arbitrate. Besides. the country s
population keeps on growing in spite Of
MANY people find fault with the Presi-
dent. Look over this list and ask your
self how much he has had 10 do with es-
tablishing the conditions Just enumerated.
On the other hand, there is some bad

bankers who are cOunseling cooperation
with the government are wise. Some who
c0unseled 1t two years ago We're over

MEN AND THINGS.
A Joins Debates


Senator Foraker's desire for a joint de-
bate with Secretary Taft in Ohio, or any
body else that may be chosen TO repre-
sent the Taft interests, Is genuine and
earnest No doubt be would prefer 10
meet Judge Taft on the stump to any
body that might be selected. but whoever
may be chosen will in a measure suit the
purposes of the Senator. Senator Fora
Ser has few equals and no superiors as a
debater. He IS facile. ready. and nimbic.
For a generation he has been stumping
Ohio, and perhaps no man alive knows
as well es Foraker how 10 deport him
self in the presence Of a Buckeye
audience. On the other hand, Judge Taft
has made few stump speeches IN Ohio,
or elsewhere. While his popularity In the
State indubitably is widespread and grow
ing, at the same time he has had neither
occasion nor opportunity TO put his in
huence 10 the severe test Of appealing d.
rectly to the judgment Of Ohioans He
did more campaigning last fan than he
had ever done before. and then HIS tour
kept him out Of Ohio nearly altogether.
The only notable speech he has made
from the stump in that State is the one
he delivered at Akron in the guberna~
torial contest of 1906. when he smashed
right and left at Boss Cox, with the
result that Gov. Herrick was defeated.
It is known that he was anxious 70 take
an active part in the campaign there
last year, but that he was prevented from
doing so by reason OF the fact that he
received no invitation from the regular
party organization IN any pa,t Of the
State. II Is thought that should a
joint debate be arranged between him and
Senator Foraker 1t would arouse quite
as much interest in the country at large
as did the epoch-making debate between
Lincoln and Douglas.
