Lightning Cures.

Some have had physical reasons to
rejoice that they had been struck by
lightning. De Quatrefages mentions
the case of a telegraph employee at
Strassburg who was struck senseless
and remained paralyzed until the next
day. but thereafter enjoyed better
health than ever before. In Martinique
a NJ. Roalde was deprived by lightning
of the use Of his limbs for three hours.
but. having previously been a man Of
weak health. was much stronger from
that time on. Several authors refer to
cases in which rheumatism was cured
by lightning. And in this respect also
trees seem to be as men. Arago saw
a poplar, one of an avenue Of 1900
near Tours. which. having been struck.
developed such vigor that its trunk
soon far surpassed in dimensions those
Of all its neighbors.

State Press Comment.


From a democratic standpoint
there appears to be no good reason
why one rule should obtain in the
case Of enlisted men and anotlltr
for the guidance Of officers in re-
lation to the use Of liquors in the
navy. II the use OF alcohol is to
to be recommended for the COM
missioned man. why not allow the
rank and file to share in the bene :.
fits?
The question is now happily
settled. Within a short time there
will be no liquor Of any kind in
use on the ships Of the navy. The
making Of the decree should be
hailed with general satisfaction by
every parent with son in the
service and by every man and
woman in the nation with 4
sufficiently developed sense Of
understanding to profit by the
signs Of the times.
BY and large, the end of the
liquor traffic is in sight. No longer
is the slightest attention paid 10
the argument ancnt the inherent
rights OF man. A majority Of the
people are opposed to the use Of
alcoholic beverages, and alcoholic
beverages must go.-Twin Falls

ROOSEVELT GIVES VIEWS
Favors Arbitration of Canal Tolls
Question.

Fav0rs ArDltratl0n OF canal Tolls
Question.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, emerg-
ing from his South American explor-
ing expedition gives bis views Of the
Panama canal tolls controversy as
follows:
"The tolls exemption act should
not be repealed. There is no
question that we have legal and as
unquestionable a moral right to
exempt our coastwise traffic from
tolls. But II this is contested by any
power interested with which we have
an arbitration treaty. we should
arbitrate, for we have explicitly
stated that the Interpretation Of
treaties is proper subject for arbi-
tration. We must never make prom
ises we don't keep. But TO submit
our cause to arbitration when we
believe it just is one thing aud 10
abandon 1t 10 advance Of arbitration
Is a totally different thing"
Criticlzing President Wilson's
canal message, Roosevelt says: 1--WE
are asked to surrender our rights in a
canal we built with our money, with
the effort OF our citizens. which Is the
greatest engineering feat OF all ages,
so that. forsooth, some other nation
may play on our behalf the game we
we are too weak to play ourselves.
Such a plea is sheer nonsense. Ii
Uncle Sam would do justice to Others
and insist on justice 10 return he has
the power by bis own strength to
secure that justice. Above all, to try
to placate foreign powers so that we
may be able to bear ourselves as we
ought on the American continent Is
as foolish as ignoble."

Atlanta Financiers Confident That
Stock Required by Currency

It is confidently believed that the
Atlanta Reserve Bank will begin IT'S
existence with a capital stock Of more
than S4,500000. or more than half a
million in excess Of the amount re-
quired by the currency act This is
the assurance borne by State and ma
tional banks within Atlanta's district
to Federal authorities.
The assurances come from 212
banks, whose combined capital is S77,-
356.913.
Following a letter from John Skel-
ton Williams Comptroller Of the cur
rency, the directories of the Atlanta
banks will meet within the next few
days to adopt resolutions enabling
them to subscribe stock of the reserve
bank. Immediately after the adoption
of the resolutions the banks will make
the proper subscriptions, amounting
to per cent of the capital stock IN
each case. Including State banks and
trust companies of Georgia which
have made application for member
ship in the new bank the total CAPT
talization will be S4.102, $50. figured on
the per cent basis.
Soon after stock subscriptions the
Federal reserve board, acting for the
President, will name members of the
regional reserve boards. 1t is likely
that New Orleans, Nashville and Biz
mingham will be represented on the
board Of the Atlanta bank, each IT
