He seems to have been born thrifty for at n very early age he gave up taking sugar in his coffee, and persuaded his parents to give him the few pennies saved in this way to put in the savings bank. And as he began so, he continued throughout his long life. contenting himself with the barest necessities. Every penny he could save went into the bank.
 For many years he lived in a small miserable room in a poor street in the suburbs of Vienna. The room had neith- CT stove nor light.

RAILROADS SPENDING LARGE
 SUMS AROUND ANDALUSIA

Andalusia, May 27.-tSpecial. )-That Andalusia's business is increasing steadily is evidenced by the fact that the Louisville and Nashville railroad is laying several additional side tracks at this place to accommodate the heavy traffic at this place. Quite a number of the turpentine operators as well as several large saw mills make Andalusia their shipping point and it makes the handling of freight and the storage of cars rather heavy at this point.
 The Louisville and Nashville has no station in south Alabama that produce near so much business as Andalusia, and the fact that they are spending large sums of money in grading and putting in additional trackage here, show conclusively that their business is steadily increasing.
 On the Central of Georgia, which runs from Columbus to Andalusia. they are laying heavier steel, strengthening out some of the sharp curves and improv- ing the road bed generally. This road does an immense business out of An-

Government and People

From the Boston Globe. We expect too much from government and get too little.
 We scorn the pomp and circumstances Of rnonnrchies yet initiate them.
 We have too much paternalism and too little fraternalism.
 We look to the government to do every thing for US, instead of looking to our selves to do ds much as we can for the government.
 We have faith in the nation, but suspect the peorlc.
 We suspect politicians ana reformers most of all Yet the politician does much of the unpleasant work that has to be done and the reformer has 10 undo much that the politician should not have done. Not until we have real democracy can we get along without either of them.
 As for our form of government, 1t Is our own It was devised by Ameri- cans for Americans, and therefore must have in it something essentially suited to us as people The trouble Is mot with 1t. but with us.

st Petersburg, May 7e(special.) )-The premier will shortly submit estimates for the rebuilding of the Russian navy The ships of Rodjetsvenslxy and Makarof, which the Japanese destroyed during the
 long and destructive war, are to be re

 that the estimates will be hotly debated
 In the duma, the naval programme of the

 nection with these preparations for the
 building of ships Russia is also planning to reform and reorganze her navy. It Is not at all unlikely that she vii have the assistance of British naval officers in this work. suggestion In which direction has l already been voiced by several of the St Petersburg newspapers. While at first | sight 1t might seem that this is a confes- sion of inferiority which no great power might care to make, this view of the mat. I ter Is not taken by the Czar's advisers I England Is HOW Russa's ally and what l more natural than that in the interest of i peace Great Britain should help train a l strong peace preserving Russian navy. l There is another and practical side to the I question which no doubt will appeal to British naval authorities like young MT. l Churchill. Outside of the Black Sea and l the Baltic Russia's ships projected in the l new estimates would find their berths in l Oriental waters between Nladivostock and | Hainan. where Great Britain is gradually 1 reducing her naval strength. The redue- 1 ton of the British China station began shortly after Lord Lansdowne negotiated the Anglo-Japanese alliance, and 1t has continued steadily ever since. A strong Russian fleet in Chinese waters would
 equalize the balance of naval power in the Orient in case any rift should rifle the
 Anglo-Japanese lute of amity.
 While William Morgan Shuster did not remain long enough al Teheran to carry through the reform plans which he pre- pared with such enthusiasm, his work has

dalusia and adjacent territory, pulling practically all of the cotton from this section as well as a great deal of the export timber and lumber. Several predictions and theories are given for the Improvements on the Central, and one of the most plausible Is that this road is fixing to build to deep water.
 The Sturns-Culver Lumber company of Bagdad, Fla, is constructing new railroad by the way of Milton, Fla, and in the direction of Andalusia and 1t is the consensus of opinion that this Is an under current move on the part of the Central to give them an outlet from Andalusia to the Gulf of Mexico. One of the old surveys of the Central is being used in constructing this new road, which lends color to these ru7 mors.
 The new road is coming up the ridge dividing the conecuh and Yellow rivers and will traverse d large section of undeveloped country, but which Is very rich in agriculture and timber It is not denied by the officials of the new road that AndaIrsia is the point they are making for,i whether it has any connection with the Central or not.

Washington, May 27.-(Special)-As an indication of the trend of political opinion in Washington, the following written by the political expert of the Washington Times and published on the Times edi- toriai page, will be of interest in Ala bama:
 That noun dawg' of Champ Clark s isn't doing much paying about it, but 1t is pricking up its long, looped ears and keeping both eyes open for any strange manifestations of activity on the part of the oscar Underwood presidential loom.
 "The fact is, the Clark leaders are not a little concerned over the Underwood was a general disposition to treat the Underwood boom lightly. And 1t has been freely assumed by the Clark leaders that they would be able to harvest the crop of Underwood delegates at the ripe time.
 But the outlook is getting less proms- ing for the aforesaid harvesting of Un- derwood delegates by Sle speaker and his friends, and they are not little concerned over what they are hearing. II has made them sit up and take mo- tice,s and they are going to give Under wood and his presidential aspirations a lot more attention hereafter than they have in the past.
 Playing Clever Politics And it appears they have good req son for watching the movements in the
 Underwood camp. Those who are on the
 inside of things in democratic quarters
 here are aware that Underwood and his
 lieutenants are playing a lot of clever
 politics. It will not do to overlook the
 Underwood candidacy Probably it is be-
 cause d lot of friends of other candidates have been easily tolerant of the Under wood boom because they thought it would never set anywhere and might be made to
 serve their own purposes that Underwood has made as much headway as he has. Of course, the way for the Underwood
 presidential boom has been paved by his
 able mana cement of democratic affairs
 in the House which has undeniably given
 him much prestige through the country.
 Look at New York "The fact the Roosevelt nomination is
 looming up as more and more probable is

tending to help Underwood It is being quietly urged by his friends that he is the best possible man to nominate against Roosevelt he could carry New York and much of the east.
 "The Underwood managers take an in- teresting view of the situation with re- spect to the Wilson vote They take it for granted that the New Jersey governor cannot win. They point out that the Clark forces have assailed Wilson with great bitterness, and they assert that when Mir. Clark attempts to get the VII son vote, in order to give him two-thlrds of the convention, he will be sadly dis appointel The Underwood leaders believe much of the Wilson vote will go to their candidate rather than to Speaker Clark.
 MT. Clarks leaders naturally will not admit the truth of the proposition, but they are sufficiently concerned about it to be giving it attention. It will he ex- peoted that from now on one will lear less of virulent attacks on Wilson from the Clark direction.
 Underwood Is Confident
 That Underwood himself, who is out wardly calm, cool, collected persona ge, not given to flights of fancy, is convinced ho is going 10 land the Gemocratic presi- dential nomination is another fact about the democratic situation that Is attracting notice. Mir. Underwood is not in the game with any notion that he is going to play second fiddle for anybody. He is stead fly gathering up good lot of delegates from the south and getting assurances of support in the north, which have led him to the conviction he is going to be in a most powerful position at Baltimore.
 ''The fact that Underwood lately made 1t possible for the direct elections amend ment to get through the House is being advanced by his friends as an indication he is of presidential size, despite the fact that his countenancing of the Bristow amendment for federal supervision of sen atorial elections made him some enemies in the south. The Commoner of MT. Bryan lately hailed this action in the House with approbation.
 Meanwhile. the friends of Underwood at the capitol are doing lot of quiet talk ing among members from the north, east and west and promoting as best they can the notion that the time is at hand when a level headed man from the south ought to be nominated by the democratic party for President, and that the fact he is from the south ought not, a half cen tury after the Civil war, be considered"
