WESTON AND WALKING.

Edward PaySon Weston plans one
 more notable pedestrian achieve
 ment in his tramp starting from
 New York June 2. for a 1900 mile
 walk to Minneapolis. He hopes to
 reach his destination August ?.
 Mir. Weston's feats upon the road are probably regarded by the gener- ality of men as interesting, but ex- ceedingly eccentric. Like the six year-old boy who plays the piano skillfully, they might be worth at tention. but of no universal applica- ton.
 The popular method when persons of sedentary occupation feel their physical vitality low, is to gulp down many scopious gallons of mineral water or erect pulley weights in their sleeping rooms. They yank at these weights desultorily morn ing and night They count their motions carefully SO as to be sure not to do too many. But it is not easy to manufacture health to order in this way.
 The man who enjoys walking is regarded as singular When his friends meet him piking along. they pick him up, feeling that they do him favor in helping him reach his destination. ..-
 Mayor Gaynor of New York has had the habit for many years of daily to his office and back, .hree miles each way. and may have t still. He says the young men and women who crowd the street-cars. many of the fellows puffing at cig- lrettes, look at him trudging along IS a curiosity. Probably though, lad Mir.

MAINTENANCE AND DEERE
 CATION.

One of the lessons of the inquiry conducted by the Interstate Com merce Commission, into the affairs of the Boston and Maine railroad IS the vital importance of mainten- ance and depreciation accounts.
 The fall of Boston and Maine stock, which has slumped from a range around 200 few years ago almost down to 30, has been about the most spectacular smash that ever happened to a big property in American railroading.
 While politics, complicated rela- lions with another railroad, and var ioas other causes have entered into this decline, one factor has existed flat is of universal significance. That is the necessity either of keep ing a property up to standard and up to the times, or else writing off a proper depreciation charge each year. Up to within about three years ago, Boston and Maine was regarded as a gilt edge investment. Widows passed the savings bank door to invest in its securities, even at no higher rate of interest.
 For period of years, 7 per cent dividends and high lease rentals were being paid, while inevitable decay was eating the heart out of the property
 Here is the vital element of weak ness in thousands and thousands of business concerns. There are prob ably not 10 per cent of the news papers of the United States that write. any depreciation charge off their books. Brokers offering news paper plants for sale, very rarely figure depreciation as any expense. Often they do not even figure inter est on money invested as any ex7 pense. -. ...: r .
 To the intending purchaser of stock in any concern, the mainten- ance and depreciation accornts are the sensitive spots where weakness can usually be detected. A concern tBat is charging of a good liberal depreciation every year is apt to be sound. The concern that tells you that its plant is just as good as it was five years ago needs to have its maintenance account subjected to the closest analysis.

THE FATE OF SUGAR.

The Democratic Senators from
 Louisiana have little hope of chang
 ing the program of the administra
 ton to reduce the tariff twenty-five per cent on sugar at once and tC
 put it on the free list at the end O
 three years. In the debate in tht
 Senate, Ollie James undertook tC convince the Louisiana senators tha
 their state had warning before tho
 last election that free sugar wa, contemplated.
 The Kentucky Senator had but one fact to go upon. That was that the Baltimore platform had promised downward revision. It nowhere specially mentioned sugar, but il did mention cotton, wool, steel and iron. If what it omitted might be taken as excluded, the Democrats did not threaten to take the duty off of sugar entirely.
 Further on in their platform, the Democrats said they recognized that our tariff system is intimately con nected with the business of the country, and therefore favored the ultimate accomplishment of their ob- jecti by legislation that would not destroy any legitimate industry of the country.
 Asked if this provision did not hold out some hope that the cane industry would be taken care of, Senator James replied that the refer ence was to legitimate industries, and that an industry that has had a hundred and twenty-five years of protection and could not go it alone was not legitimate.
 It is difficult to conceive of a colder reception for state that has been Democratic through thick and thin, and it indicated plainly enough that, considering the State of Louis jana safe, the Democratic party is playing for the consumer vote of the northern States.
 But there is another and grow ing industry that must be considered. That is the sugar beet. The beet sugar industry from nothing a few years ago now produces twenty per cent of the sugar used in the United States. It can be made to do more, but we cannot compete with the cheaper labor in Germany or with the cane sugar of Cuba, where crops are grown withou. cul- tivation for ten and fifteen years from one planting.
 Nor is there any likelihood that free sugar would have any such an effect on the price of living as he Democrats suggest In their text book they iealt in arge figures. The revenue tax nn sugar is one and a half cents pound. Applying this to seven bil- ror six hundred and six milli,n pounds consumed, they get a total # one hundred and six million dol ars saved.
 But the probabilities are that the efiners would get about all the diff erence figured out as going to the onsumer.
 It is probable that the administra- ion could do much for the country y attacking the sugar trust and reaking its power over the price of efined sugar. At this time it looks cry much as though the admins .ation is playing. unintentionally, Ito the hands of the sugar trust.

Representative Ed Cole Has AC-
quired a Fortune, but Has Lost
Most of His Name.

In the first place, Representative Ed
Cole, of Barlow, was not christened
Edward, or Edwin, or Ed, or anything
like that
As a matter of fact, his full entitle-
ments are Emreid Dargan Cole!
That, however, was entirely too
fancy an outlay of names for this
gentleman when first ne started out to
make his own way in life, and so he
elected to have himself called ''E. D., 4"
which inevitably evoluted into plain,
ordinary, old fashioned Ed" as time
ran on.
Ed Cole began his business career
with a total capital OF $1.35. Besides
that, he possessed nothing beyond one
suit of clothes, vintage unknown, d
couple Of pairs of socks and a super
abundance of energy and pluck.
He plunged into business for him
self at 16 by getting a job as train
butcher" on a jerkwater railroad in
South Carolina, and he soon enlarged
his capital of $1.35 to 100 times that
amount.
Not long after this experience one
of the big news agencies heard of
Cole and grabbed him. Before long he
was in charge of a division or so for
that concern-and now he still is on
the sunny side of 80, worth along to-
ward-well, he is worth a ix-flgure
sum, all right, anyway!
In casting about for a vice chair
man of the important Ways ami
Means Committee of the House,
Speaker Burwell looked into Coles
record. He became convinced that
Cole was one Of the safest and sanest
business men in the House, and as
that was exactly what he was licking
for, Cole got the assignment.
Coles inheritance tax bill is House
bill No. l, and is generally accepted s
the most intelligent inheritance tax
mea sure pending in the Legislature.
1t likely is the one that will be enact
ed into law. Cole never introduced
it until he felt sure it was right and
modelled along the most approved
lines.

MULHALL USED
LABOR BODY AS
HIS TOOL
Professional Lobbyist Tells of
Political Welding of Unions
and Manufacturers.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-An in
teresting glimpse of inside" politics
was given by Colonel Martin NJ. Null
hall in his testimony to-day before
the Overman Lobby Committee.
How as president Of the Baltimore
Working Mems Association. though
lobbying for the National Association
Of Manufacturers, he lined up the
working men against Senator McCo-
mas, who was fought because Of his
advocacy of an eight-hour law, was
told by the witness.
Mulhalrs testimony portrayed the
Manufacturers Association in the
light of a big and powerful non-par-
tisan organization bent on defeating
legislation favorable to labor inter-
ests and legislators who opposed the
association.
Efforts to swing the labor vote in
Rhode Island in 1904 for Senator Mel
son w. Aldrich also were described
by Mulhall. He spent ten days in the
State, he said, at the solicitation of
Senator Foraker, of Ohio.
Labor union leaders, Colonel Null
hall said, knew of his connection with
the Manufacturers Association.
Colonel Mulhan charged Marshall
Gushing, secretary OF the National
Association of Manufacturers, with
trying to defeat William Hughes, now
Senator from New Jersey, because
Hughes was active in support of la
Dor measures.
MLlhall told the committee "all you
had to do was to see Boss Barnes 70
get a bill killed in the Legislature at
Albany"
