more water off of more dead dogs. But think of

Mr. Commissioner Judson Clements of the In
terstate Commerce Commission has some well de-
fined views on railroad regulation. The Country
will come to his way of thinking and Congress will

The trial of Cooper for killing Senator Car
mack of Tennessee will begin tomorrow, and Coop
is to plead self defense. 1t is poor self defense

the cigar trade. Wen, stmulant calls for
another, and it is likely that the cigar trade will
fall off as men stop drinking. There sSome conso-
aton in the fact that as men smoke and drink less
they and their wives and children will eat better
food, wear better clothes, get more education and
enjoy higher happiness. There is mighty heap
Of joy in smoking good cigar, but it is not to be
compared to good book, fine painting or soul
full rhapsody.

What Albany young men once spent for red liquor
they now propose to put into an institution that
will develop Christian character That is the
way the world moves. We spend our incomes
for one thing or another. If we restrined from
debauching ourselves, usually spend it for
something better. Since the liquor taken
away, the young of Albany have turned their
thoughts to better things;
eve hold it true with him who sings
To one clear harp of divers tones,
That men may rise on stepping stones
OF their dead selves to higher things"
