WHEN TO GO HOME


From the Bfuffton, md, Banner:
when tired out, go home. When you
want consolation, go home. When you
want fun, go home. When you want to
show others that you have reformed,
go home and let your family get ac-
quainted with the fact. When you
want to show yourself at your best, go
home and do the act there. When you
feel like being extra liberal, go home
and practice on your wife and children.
When you want to shine with extra
brilliancy, go home and light up the
whole household" To which We would
add, when you have a bad cold go
home and take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and quick cure Is certain.

his discharge from the army, but the
attorneys in the case has admitted that
they were retained by wealthy gentle
men of New England" whose real OBJ
ject is to determine the legality of the
presidents action. Mr.. Stimson said
that he had as yet given the complaint
only a sursory examination, but that
he did not think there was any evil
dence that President Roosevelt had
violated his constitutional rights in
discharging the colore soldiers with
out honor" The district attorney add
ed that he had not decided what he
would do in the matter. He might, he
thought. demur TO the complaint, or
possibly waive that right, and, il he
was convinced that he was right in ac-
cepting service of the papers, try the
case upon its merits.
"Philanthropie Gentlemen"
Charles E. Mellen, of counsel for the
plaintiff, said Saturday:
Il am not at liberty to tell who the
gentlemen back Of this action are. They
will disclose their identity at the pro-

prised. They are all men of national
prominence. They banded together in
an informal organization for the pur-
pose of seeing that the poor individuals
received the rights guaranteed them by
the constitution of the United States.

STATE Highway Commissioner Earle

STATE Highway Commissioner Earle's
scheme for rockbreaking peritentiary
came out a few days ago, in bill en-
dorsed by Senator Smith OF Houghton.
1t appropriates two hundred thousand
dollars for building and equipping a
prison in the trap rock region in the
upper peninsula, for the confinement OF
the more vicious criminals, and their EN-
ployment at breaking rock for use in the
improvement of roads. The crushed
rock is to be sold to local authorities for
that purpose, at fifty cents ton deliver
ed, at which rate it seems to be con-
templated that the institution will earn
profit for the state, as the surplus above
expense is to be turned into the state
treasury. The stone must be used by the
local authorities under direction of the
state highway commissioner. Mr.. Earle
talked to the members in support of his
proposition one evening a week ago, but
the passage of the bill at the present
session is thought to be unlikely.

THE recent decision of the supreme
court which gives to the Michigan Cen
trail railroad the privilege of going ahead
with its suit for six million dollars against
the state, the amount of damages claimed
by the railroad by reason of the repeal Of
its special charter, by no means makes it
probable that six millions or any millions
will be paid out of the state treasury to
the railroad company. The repeal of its
charter compelled the Michigan Central
to reduce its passenger fare, and the
lowered rate of fare caused the company's
receipts and profits from passenger
sources to be largely increased. Just
wherein the railroad has been injured to
the extent il will claim as the result of
its charter repeal will evidently have to
be shown through some other means than
