Edward Colston. Of Cincinnati, prom
inent railroad attorney. who Is here on
case before the United States Supreme
Court. Is at the Shoreham. The case In
question involves an infringement on the
part of the railroad companies of the law
which prescribes that live stock must
not be kept longer in the cars than
twenty-eight hours, the penalty being
500 in each case. Mr.. Colston's client
transgressed the law, but contends that
the fine includes the whole shipment, and
does not mean that there Is a fine Of
$500 for every individual order in the
whole shipment.
Discussing politics. Mr. Colston said
that Pomerene is q young. progressive
Democrat. and will make . splendid
Senator.
II believe in the progressive idea, and
I believe in young men in politics" said
Mr.. Colst6n. II hope the old scales have
been discarded for good. Harmon is the
man Of the hour, 1t seems. and unless
the Democrats fail to fulnn their prom
ises in a satisfactory manner. there is
no reason why Harmon should not be
elected President in 1871, if nominated.
Mind you, / have always voted the Re-
publican ticket until the last election,
when I voted for Harmon. ! think his
overwhelming majority tells story in
itself. The people Of Ohio evidently
thought they would send him back
again to Columbus to clean out the
grafters and corruptionists. I would be
in a fine fix il Taft and Harmon were
nominated because both are good men.
L. would be singular, any way, to have
the candidates of both parties not only
from the same State, but from the same
district. I always admired Teddy until
he made that New Nationalism speech.
After that parted company with him.
''Of course" concluded Mr.. Colston.
I'VE know it Is great crime to sell
ones vote, but I think the man who
offers the bribe is the real culprit- The
farmer who is busy and thinks either one
cannot really be classed as a criminal II
he take a SO note for his vote and
attends to his farm But he who prof.
fers the bribe should receive twice the
punishment"
Names Game.
That there will be a decrease in the
deer supply of Maine sooner or later is
the opinion of Col. F. e. Boothhy. gen
eral passenger and ticket agent Of the
Maine Central Railroad, who Is at the
New Willard.

Automobile Doctors Best Friend.
"The automobile is the Doctors best
friend and worst enemy said DR.. f. F.
McGill, Of st. Louis. at the Raleigh yes
terday. II mean by that simply this:
The automobile enables the doctor not
only to call on more patients day, but
gives each Of them more time than he
could il using any other mode OF trans
portation. 1t is always ready to go, can
be operated more economically than the
horse and buggy. and is speedy withal.
But careful study proves that the
people who own and drive automobiles,
continued the physician, "are less liable
to sickness than people who do not. The
auto gets them out Of doors. They go
out into the country. get fresh air and
sunlight that before the coming of the
motor they did not get. Driving a motor
car tones up a mans nervous system,
gives him more self-confidence. and takes
his mind completely OF his business wor-
ries.
THAT is the reason I say that, while
my car is my best friend, it helps keep
in good health a lot of people who might
be my patients. This Is not a complaint.
because it is the ambition of every doc
tor to see the people take advantage OF
opportunities for rest and air that the
motor car gives them. 1t Is one Of our
best prescriptions
Prosperous Philippines.
DR.. Francis E.. Clark, of Chicago, who
recently returned from an extended tour
Of the Philippine Islands. and was seen
at the Arlington, said: =
New enterprises are being started
every day; the forests and the gold mines
and the coal fields are being exploited.
and the virgin wealth of the islands,
which cannot be estimated, 10 being ex-
ploreds and developed.
1.-THE Americans are great housclean-
ers," said DR.. Clark. ."rhe first thing
that Uncle Sam had to do in Manila was
to clean the city. He improved the sewer
age system. He built and IL building
great waterworks ard immense reservoirs
at the cost Of millions of dollars. 50 that
Manila will have as pure water and as
much of IL aS any CITY in the world.
