GOOD PRACTICE.

The Tillman- Foraker fellows are
really giving Mr.. Roosevelt a fine bit
of practice upon the eve of his de-
parture for the jungles of Africa,
What roaring lion will have any terror
Cor the president now that he has
listened to the bombast of the retiring
senator from Ohio? why, Mr. Roose-
welt will simply laugh in the face of
the big feline that seeks to brighten
him with mere noise. What behemoth,
by display of mouth, can hope to
strike fear to the Roosevelt heart aft =
er the exhibition which Tillman has
made? After the performance of the
South Carolina man, there is no hip
popotamus on earth that can show up
mouth enough to cut any ice at all.
strenuous hunter, now that Joe Bailey
has made the senate walls echo with
his sarcastic laughter? Hideous as Is
the cry of the hyena. 1t VIII be as
naught when compared with the
laughter of the whitwashed man from
Texas. And so on down the list; every
one Of these batting senator's has con-
tributed his share to the preparation
of Mr.. Roosevelt for his experiences In
the dark continent. The president evil
IDENTIFY feels the encouragement that
comes from this experience, for east
ern dispatches announce that the
Roosevelt party will not only send back
specimens for the museum. but will
ship some live ones to be placed in
the American ZOOS. 1t will be easy
for the president to catch them alive
after he has trapped Tillman so neat
iy and has caught Foraker mapping;
there is no beast Of the jungle as
adroit as these two and there Is none
more cunning. And they are In the
sack Of the president, right now
Catching big African beasts alive will
be the merest pastlme now.

IN ATLANTA.

Taft Is marching through Georgia
his track is not marked by the devas-
tation that accompanied the famous
Sherman expedition over the same
route. but his conquest Of the people Is
much more complete than that which
was accomplished on the famous march
from Atlanta to the sea. Today Mr..
Taft is the guest of the city of At
lanta; the great southern city has
tality in the preparations that have
been made for the entertainment of
the distinguished gentleman who Is
her guest today. There will be Sc
ries of interesting functions In his
honor, which will eliminate tonight In
the grand banquet, the details of which
have been arranged SO as to make it
the most notable event of it's kind ever
held in the south. The Georgians are
coming to appreciate the splendid
character of the president elect; they
are coming to realize his qualities as
a statesman and gentleman. And it
is certain that this realization and this
appreciation will extend through the
south as the people become acquaint-
ed with the man who is to be presi-
dent for the next four years--and then
some.

ALCOHOL Is A PREsERvATivE

Alcohol Is recognized the world
over as the proper most efficient and
wholesome preserver of medicinal
compounds, and while some journalists
try to alarm the world by the cry
that patent medicines contain more
alcohol than beer" they neglect to
state that proprietary medicines are
taken In doses from a teaspoonful to
tablespoonful. while beer Is a bev-
erage that is consumed in quantities
from glass to several quarts a day.

an in the land az reliable, honest

Roosevelt was elected honorary presi-
dent Of the American Bison society at
its third annual meeting tonight and

TWO vIEWS.

The banking interests of the coun-
try are naturally looking askance at
the proposition contained In the bill of
Senator Carter to establish postal saw
ings banks. The banker holds to the
opinion that he is in a position to
know more about the banking business
than any other man in the world and
he advances some good arguments to
substantiate his position. George e.
Roberts of the Commercial National
bank Of Chicago has contributed an
interesting address upon this subject.
Mr.. Roberts holds the states should
regulate the savings bank business and
that the establishment of postal banks
would react upon the rural community
In that the deposited funds would not
be invested locally. His argument is
well made and his opinion is entitled
to consideration; he speaks With the
knowledge Of experience.
But here Is the way the friends Of
the measure present the phase of the
question which Mr.. Roberts raises:
FOR instance" they say. "a farmer de-
posits his savings in the postal bank
and receives interest at per cent. The
government places the money in the
nearest national bank, charging the
bank az per cent, the extra " per
cent being sufficient to defray the cost
of the system, which of course, pro-
vides employment for a large number

GAINING STRENGTH.

Mercantile and Industrial conditions
all over the country are improving
the gain is not "A squirt. but is moving
along at n steady gait that betokens
permanency. The Wall street furry
which followed the Consolidated Gas
decision did not have the far reaching
effect that it would have had, had not
the country's business been in good
shape. The squirt which succeeded the
election of Taft was followed by the
natural reaction which is inevitable in
such cases, but this reaction was brief
extent. Now that the permanent up
ward trend has begun, the substantial
couraging prophecy for the year. Some
of the Industries, notably steel, are
held back somewhat by the tariff dis
cussion. there being a disposition to
hold aloof from any more extensive
purchases than are Immediately neces-
sary. But the confidence Of the indus
trial world is settled and the year is
opening with conditions as favorable
as they ever We're In the history Of the
country and those forecasts are not
wild which predict the most successful
year that this nation has ever shown.

PUBLICATION SCHEME
DEFEATED IN HOUSE

Washington, Jan. 14.-For a time
today in the house it looked as though
that body would further resent the
presidents statement affecting men,
bers of congress and the secret serv-
ice by ordering the publishing of
100000 copies Of the proceedings Of
last Friday, tabling his remarks. A
resolution to that end was presented
by Mr.. Lands Und), but so strong
was the sentiment against it that it
was tabled. The District of Columbia
appropriation bill was passed, minus
the major part of the appropriation of
$4,000 for Fairgrounds. The house at

Government Uneasy.
Mr.. Tillman wanted to know what
degree of falsehood was to be
charged to the two cabinet officers,
or head clerks or bootlicks, or what
ever the president has around him."
The attorney general, he said, had q
splendid memory for various details
of his conversation with him, but he
could not recollect whether he had
brought suit or not against the South
ern Oregon company, and had to ask
a subordinate whether he had per-
formed this important duty for con-
gress."
He suggested that there should be
a meeting of the executive committee
of the Ananias club, with William E.
Chandler or some other member to
determine what degree should be con-
ferred upon Charles ]. Bonaparte and
this man Meyer
Mr.. Tillman laid stress on the fact
that he had not endeavored to OBJ
tain any government land, but only
to purchase land that had been given
corporation. with the stipulation
that that corporation should sell it
to the public at $3.50 per acre. He in
sisted that he was entitled to a full
investigation of these charges and to
report as he did not wish to rest
under the imputations that had been
cast upon him. If no report should
be made, he said, the impression
would go abroad that the senate had
whitewashed him and that he was
guilty Of some wrongdoing--an i'm
preston that he did not wish to rest
under.
