A gentleman Who has occasion to
make frequent use of the autos for hire,
referring to the recent number of auto
accidents, said:
81 believe that many of the people
who employ the chauffeurs are respon-
sible for accidents, particularly when
it is shown that the accident was due
to a bad mixture of Scotch and gaso-
line. l look at it this 4way: Suppose
I hire chauffeur and when we ar
rive at saloon and [ take drink I
ask the chauffeur to take a drink also.
Sometimes he accepts because he wants
to keep in my good graces. Sometimes
he accepts because he wants the drink.
Suppose whe have two or three and
then [ pay my bill. Then suppose half
an hour afterwards he gets new load
and they stop for drink and invite
him to join. Well, his first start is
bad for the second load he has taken
up and quite often there is pilikia. /
like the boys who act as chauffeurs of
the publis autos, and as l know nearly
all of them, that is one reason why
ask them to join me. However, [ am
never going to ask another chauffeur
to have drink. He can join me but
Twill ask him to have a cigar-nothing
else. I believe it would be good plan
for all people who hire machines to
heed this bit of advice, and instead of
trying to make the chauffeur one of
the "joy" crowd that so often sits
behind him, merely invite him to take
a cigar but never drink There would
be fewer accidents

Nor would Mr.. Hartman fare dif-
ferently. Now these two have quar-
relied, and quarrelled bitterly asthc
public we'll knows, Their friendship
has certainly been put to the "acid
test" but Mr.. Roosevelt admires abil-
ity in railroad management as he does
achievement in the Senate, and that
counts in the scale Of friendship with
him. Senator Tillman hit the nail on
the head the other day in the Senate
when he referred to Mr.. Hartman
as the Presidents dear friend Harri-
man" That is, he literally, though
unwittingly, spoke the truth, for i
the railroad magnate, no matter how
rumpled his feelings at present, only
came again to the White House and
stood for a moment under the warm
rays Of the famous Presidential smile
there would be no resisting. He, too,
would feel this side Of the many-sided

WHO OWNS THE WATER.

The same organization which has
already exploited the other natural
resources of the country for personal
gain is now doing its audacious and
crafty best to secure control also OF
the water. And unless the public
does wake up-and wakes in wrath
sternly determined to protect forever
the remnant of its birthright-twenty
five years will add to the present
peerage Of Ironmasters, Coal Kings,
Land Baions, and Petroleum Princes
a vastly greater list of Monarchs Of
Water And an aristocracy Of wealth,
based on H2O is more dangerous
than any other; coal, iron, copper,
and all oil deposits will some day be
exhausted; properly conserved the
water supply will last forever and
wealth based on its control will go on
increasing to the end Of time.

REGULATE IT.

When it comes to terms and their
use in the legal and diplomatic fields,
we believe in employing the softer
but none the less effective, periods,
that persuade and pacify and placate
For instance, in immigration matters,
it is just as easy to talk of regulation
as it is of restriction; both terms are
practically identical in effect,(if the
effect is urged far enough), and they
do NOT do violence TO the delicate SEN
sibilities Of the foreigner whose ex-
ouisitely delicate sersibilities, by
the way, cost this Government some
90 to 50 millions annually, to cherish
and crafty.
Why not regulate immigration each
year? Why not ascertain the limits
by due inquiry into the trades and
businesses and commerce Of the ma
ton and say just how much they can
stand by way of access in certain
lines OF foreign participation, and reg
ulate the thing down to the ground.
There may come years when no single
man from abroad can be admitted;
there may be congested conditions
that will obyiate his coming for sever
al years, in which case he is benefit
ed by being barred from worse
field than the one he is thinking Of
leaving; and regulation would rob
obstruction and deprivation Of half
the sting that now carries on the point
of restriction.
Regulation does not necessarily re-
strict; and then again it does; but re-
striction does restrictGf it does any
thing) and does not regulate nearly
60 completely as it might, Regulation
IS The more conservative process and
does not hurt the feelings SO keenly
as the more imperative figure Of
speech mode of practice

salmon fisheries ought to be placed
beyond the cayilings Of commercial
high-binders and made safe against
the momentary dollar of profit. The
calling and the trade are not matters
Of this year, nor OF a hundred years
10 come; they are Of, and for, all time,
il common.sense ever supervenes and
the culture and disposition Of the fish
are given the protection and encour-
agement they are entitled to. There
is but one source from which to draw
such guardianship and maintenance,
and have it respected by all concerned
including the wheel and the trap bar
ons, and that is the United States gov
ernment. They will never respect
anything less.
Such a step, provided we could get
the Government to take over the i'm
mense trust, would instantly level all
Irregularities, even up all claims,
close all differences, make all hands
amenable to the best and most scien-
Itific handling Of the business, in all
| its departments, and stop forever the
wretched injustices that have done so
much to hamper and ruin the craft
the trade. A strong hand is needed in

Uncle Sans hand is the stoutest we
know of. Once he assumes control
! Of the business there will be notable
slump in the arrogance Of some OF
the people who are now slamming
their way through the rights and
wrongs Of the lesser interests in the
Industry, and they win be taught some
lessons in the care, culture and pres
ervation of splendid business that
they are devotedly ignoring just now
and these same lessons will be extend
ed down the line to these first in con-
cern, the fisherman, who will also
llearn something of value in their cali

with the additional fact that Govern
ment control of the fisheries will for
ever lay all questions Of interstate

The pure Rood Law.

Secretary Wilson says, Zone Of the
objects Of the law is to inform the
consumer OF the presence Of certain
harmful drugs in medicines" The
law requires that the amount Of chic
roform, opium, morphine, and other
habit forming drugs be stated on the
label Of each bottle. The manufac-
turers Of Chamberlains cough remedy
have always claimed that their rene.
dy did not contain any Of these drugs,
and the truth Of this claim is now
fully proven, as no mention Of them
is made on the label. This remedy Is
not only one Of the safest, but one of
the best in use for coughs and colds.
Its value has been proven beyond

To the nyopic and indifferent pub

HAS A REPUTATION AS
MANY SIDED MAN.
PRESIDENT is MOST STRIKING
PROTOTYPE OF REvoLU-
TIoNARY STATESMAN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Theo'
dore Roosevelt in his seven odd years
OF ups and downs as President OF the
United States has earned a reputation
as "many-sided man" equal to that
of Benjamin Franklin Certainly in
this respect the President is the most
striking prototype Of the revolution
ary statesman-p philosopher in public
lie today. Amid the stirring events
of the last two or three years, when
the "big stick" has been frequently
employed to deal sturdy blows here
and there regardless Of person or
politics, the Chief Executives ability
to adapt himself to any and all condi-
tions has been displayed in noteworthy
style. II $ a quality that has won
him more friends than enemies, which
would make him seem worthy Of emu
lation by his able successor.
Take, for instance, the Presidents
ecepao of Samuel Gompers at the
White House. True it is incumbent
upon any Chief Executive to make a
show of cordiality to friends and en-
emies alike, but who other than Theo-
dore Roosevelt would receive on terms
Of easy, disarming friendliness SO inn
placable foe as the President Of the
American Federation Of Labor has
shown himself to be7 One has only

vindicatiye, ear-splitting, news-making

stand today as bitter, unforgiying,
warning enemies. Not so with MI
Roosevelt. Tales coming from the
White House apropos that recent
memorable meeting between Mr.,
Roosevelt, Mr.. Gompers, and his fel-
low labor leaders tell Of something
approaching love feast"
Mr.. Gompers, whether his heart
was in his mouth or whether It pulsat-
ed normally from behind It's accus-
toned rib, forgot either anger or fear
when he crossed the Presidential
threshold and came within the spell
of the Rooseveltian smile. Instead
of greeting lurking enemy, he found
a brother; yes, smiling, beamlng
brother there with a warm handelaSp
and ready to let bygones be bygones.
