A BUSY CROWD.

HaITFoad clerks and Agents Getting Out
The Monthly Reports Just Now.
AS the end of the month is drawing
near the ticket agents, freight agents
and the clerks in the various railroad
offices of the city are all humping
themselves and are as busy as they can
be, getting out the reports and prepar-
ing for the new month. The work of
checking up months business in a
railroad office is not small one and it
keeps the railroad men just as busy as
bees until the work Is done.

UNDUEY OVERLOOKED OVER
THE OHIO IDEA.

The American Economist, the Of

in which there Is exaltation OF the
Ohio Idea" and much exUltation over
It What Is named the Ohio Idea

the Ohio Republican convention on the

GOOD THOUGHTS FOR THE
TRYING DOG DAYS.

This Is the time Of year when it's
easy TO complain of ones imagined
misfortunes. The warm weather gets
on the nerves and troubles are likely
to be magnifed. At such a time 1t IS
well 10 remember the trite but always
true adage that no one IS - unfortu-
nate that he cannot observe Others
who are more unfortunate Take the
case of Mrs. Bull, for example She Is
IN a peck OF misery because she made
a bad investment OF $4,000. 1t Is self
evident that, if one Is not possessed OF
5000. he VIII never lie awake nights
because he lost $4,000. When IN

money think this over.

Moreover, the Economist declares
The tide has turned 1t recalls that
before the convention Roosevelt re
Peatedly expressed the wish there
would be a progressive platform in
Ohio and then takes fling at him by
saying:
The charm no longer works, the
spell is broken"
The Economist says Ohio has set
the pace for the nation and predicts
the ohio Idea7 viii become the ma
tional idea
1t should be added that the Econo-
mist editorialized on Ohio before the
primaries in Kansas and before the
late Republican State convention in
Iowa In the light of what has hap
Pened IN those States, it seems hasty
TO conclude that ''The tide has turn
ed Nor viii it do to assume that
the Roosevelt spell Is broken. More
over, it IS a fair question for discus
sion and consideration whether it Is
the ohio Idea" or the Iowa Idea"
that the nation Is going to indorse.

AN UNFAIR ATTACK on MRS

Whether by artfuI design or by ae-

They have adopted a resolution con
demning cigarette smoking. and their
president has declared the action Is

Of former President Roosevelt.

but sounded the keynote OF the whole

tries closed at midnight last night
