but actually constructing, and has partly fin

People Are With Huuhes.

An impartial survey of the cleo
tions to the assembly in the state at
large leads irresistibly to the conclu-
sion that the governors prestige has
been greatly heightened. The voters
of the Republican party have made 1t
clear that, as between him and the
bosses, they are for him every time.
No other inference can be drawn
from the assembly elections. The
most suggestive thing is not the num-
ber of pledged adherents that Gov
Hughes has gained-though in these
there is a marked increase-but the
plain and strong and well-nigh univer-
sal disapproval visited upon those
who have withstood him So we are
again back to the quiet but insistent
demand of Gov. Hughes that some
thing be done to improve the system
OF party management The matter
will be pressed upon the legislature
with fresh earnestness next session,
and with evidences of popular in
dorsement which cannot now be de-
MED or ignored.-New York Evening

Eating for Strength.

The greatest pleasure to be de-
rived from eating is the pleasure one
gets in the knowledge that his food Is
giving him greater strength and vi
tality.
Because of this fact there is a con-
stant increase in the consumption of
Quaker Oats: every time the strength
making qualities of Quaker Oats have
been tested by scientific investigation
or by experiments in families it has
been found to be a food without an
equal.
1t builds the muscles and brain with
out taxing the digestive organs; it
costs so little anyone can afford it.,
and it is so carefully prepared and
packed that it is absolutely pure and
clean. A Quaker Oats eating family
is always a healthy family. IL
Quaker Oats is packed in regular
size packages and also in large size
family packages. The latter very con-
venient for those not near the store.

Conservation in conoress.

DR.. Charles w Eliot, as head OF the
National Conservation association, has
issued statement dealing with the
coal situation in Alaska. He points out
that the coal lands in the possession
of the United States are being rapid
ly absorbed under the present made
quate laws. 1t is estimated that in
Alaska there are 100000 tons of
coal still in the possession of the peo,
pie. However, the laws of Alaska. un-
der which this coal may be taken pos
session of by private owners, are
even worse for the general public than
are those of the United States.
Claims to these coal lands are be-
ing filed rapidly. Tie administrative
officials, DR.. Eliot points out, have
sought to withdraw them from entry,
pending action by congress. 1t is evil
dent that the order OF withdrawal can
not be made permanent except with
congressional sanction Legislation
should be enacted early In the next
session providing for the development
of these lands only on condition that
will safeguard public rights.

Worth the EXPENSE,

The story that Sir John Fisher of
the British admiralty tells with the
greatest enjoyment-and he tells many,
and all with zest-is of an old boat
swain on his flagship who fell into a
little money and retired. One day
the admiral visited him at his coun-
try box. to find the old sailor pos
sessed OF an apparently useless man
servant.
What do you want with him?"
asked Fisher
"H'every morning" explained the
old sailor, "'e comes to me 'ammock

miral wants to see you, e says to me.

spondent, who has been interviewing
prominent bankers and kcsiness men
all over the country RS regards the

tion to it. The favored argument
against the central bank is that it will
be controlled either by Standard Oil

admitted that there is great danger
to our prosperity in either case.
Nevertheless, it will be found that in
the end this country will have to
come to some form of a central bank

Mr.. Taft,s Candor.

The president has reiterated upon
every opportunity during his tour of
the south that his visit was under
taken as president of the whole peo-
pie and not as politician seeking
votes. His aim, he has repeatedly de-
clared. has been to promote sense
of solidarity, to make the south feel
that its interests were as close to the
heart of the government as those of
any other section. The south has al
ready proved its unison with the rest
OF the country. The war with Spain
did much to wipe out the last yes
tige of sectionalism. Mckinley, Roose-
welt and Taft have endeavored In Sc
lecting men for important places to
show the south that the government,
even under q Republican administra-
tion, was national and not sectional.
On the canal and the tariff the south
by its vote In congress has shown it's
alignment with the nation as whole
on national policies under Republican
administrations.
The visit of President Taft is a SEN
timental capstone to all this. The per-
sonal presence of the president in the
south affords tangible evidence of
what has been going on for some
years-the complete readjustment of
the south to the nation as a whole
Mr.. Taft's candor in bluntly stating
that his visit has no ulterior political
purpose has evidently been accepted
at It's full value and has no doubt con-
tributed largely to better under.
