THE NEW WHISKEY FEES.

Editor News: AS to your editorial in last
weeks News, ga New Whiskey Law" The
fee allowed express and railroad agents for
delivery of intoxicants is state fee for act
ing as ex-oficio N. P. in taking the affidavit
of the consignee of intoxicants, and is not
part of the carriers charge. Query: If it
is only worth three cents for railroad and
express agents to take an affidavit why is 25
cents allowed for the same service to nota-
ries public and justices of the peace? We
rank with them. Their fees should be re-
duced or ours raised AS to fake prohibi-
ton laws: The average prohi-legislator has
proven himself to be like that ancient broth
er who joined the Good Templars; if they
would allow him to drink whenever he
washed sheep, and then kept an old ram
in the lot and washed him three times per

The Threatened Strike.

Most of the hundred million people of the
United States are hoping that the railroads
and their four hundred thousand employees
will manage to find some method Of COM
posing their differences, and that strike
will not eventuate.
1t is to be taken for granted that each
side in the pending controversy is conscien-
tiously convinced that its cause is just. The
employees no doubt feel that they are ask
ing for certain changes in working condi-
tons to which they are rightfully entitled
and we assume that the railroads are con-
WINGED that those same requests are not
within the bounds of reason, as they see it.
The one thing to which the great general
public-the people who pay passenger fares
and freight bills-hopes will not be over
looked by the two controlling factions is
that it is the public itself, not the railroads
or employees, which is bound to be the chief
sufferer if a strike shall prove to be una
voidable. Not that the railroads and the
four hundred thousand employees will not
suffer, for they wil-one the loss of i'm
mense revenues, the other from the absence
of wages with which to purchase the necessi-
ties-but neither of these deprivations will
begin to compare in scope with the larger
inconvenience which will come inevitably
and swiftly to that ultimate consumer" the
average citizen, more particularly the poor.
The present prospect for solution may
be dark, but ray of hopeful light is injected
by the fact that cool heads are in command
on both sides, and that the federal govern
ment is interposing to obtain an arbitration.

Bathing Suit Audacity.

Reports brought from them 1--WE haven't
seen the "sights" ourself) say the modern
seaside resorts are out-Francing France
these days in audacity of bathing attire.
Not many years ago the woman of pre-
sumably refined taste would not have dream
ed of appearing a public beach in any
thing more startling than neat bodice and
skirt of black satin or mohair with black
stockings to match and one striking bit of
color in kerchef twisted over her head The
self-same woman thinks nothing now of step
ping forth from the bath house bedight in
a costume that would have done credit to
vaudeville performance a few seasons ago; a
sleeveless, shoulder-strapped chemise of sat-
in, perhaps black, perhaps rose-colored or
even pale blue, with fesh-tinted stockings
made even more suggestive of uncovered
legs by the neatly laced black satin bathing
shoes that cover foot and ankle, and pict-
uresuue shade hat on the lines of a restau-
rant chapeau.
The prudist may hurl remonstrances at
the fin de steele bathing suit, but it is really
an enchanting affair. And what if it is q
bit-well, picturesque? Certainly it is
vast addition to the general gaiety and de-
light of midsummer morning.

NEW SETTLERS ARE AMONG US.

From the Baker County News
The genuine, unadulterated, 99B per
cent pure Mexican boil weevil is right now
in our midst. He is here with his entire
family, and he is going to stay with us just
as long as accommodating farmers will plant
cotton for him to feed upon. Now that the
weevil is actually here in quantities and has
already begun doing considerable damage
it is not going to help matters to try to
conceal the fact that we have him, and it will
materially hurt matters for our farmers to
get excited and discouraged. Take it coolly.
Let us all get together and devise the best
ways and means to farm profitably without
depending on cotton. 1t can be done, be-
cause other states that have been swept by
the boil weevil have proved that it can be
done

THE LAWS COUNT END OF THE LAND

From the New York Sun.
The field secretary of the chamber of COM
merce of the United States, Mr.. Edward
Trefz, has been counting the laws passed by
congress and by the state legislatures in the
last five years. He reports a grand total of
62,250. The contrast with the number of
laws passed by the British parliament in ten
years, 1900 in all, is either painful or mag
nificent, as you choose to view it. To Mr..
Trefz it. is painful. He suggests that we,
the people, are claw crazy" Perhaps he has
not taken into account the fact that an
American legislator measures his states
manship by the number of bills he gets
passed. CAT last this district has come into
its own" the hero tells the voters. 81 have
secured the passage of the bill permitting
the taking of seven-inch porgies in Butter
milk brook on rainy Thursdays in May In
spite of the opposition of the bosses I have
put on the books a statute allowing noise
less bouquet holders to be placed on motor
cars costing less than 1888. Send me back
and l pledge you that l shall not rest until
L have passed law abolishing sharp corners
on dog biscuit"
What would happen to legislator who
went home at the end of session and said
to his constituents: ~ did not make new
law, but voted for the repeal of sixty-three
ldlotic ones, and hope next year to prevent
our august body from passing any laws
at ALL"
He would be stoned as stand-patter and
obhterated as an obstructionist Life will
not be perfect until each citizen has a code
of lawyer-made law applying to himself
alone.

otherwise, it required considerable stiffen-

for while the bill had some things to com
mend it-for instance preservation Of the

county unit system-there were features de-
cidedly Objectionable. The governors veto

action will be more or less an issue in the

THE MAN AND BALE OF COTTON.

From the Pike County Journal
A man raises a bale of cotton. He sells
it to the buyer, he sells it to the cotton fac
tor, he sells it to the manufacturer, he makes
it into cotton products. He then sells it to
the manufacturing agent, he sells it to the
iobber, he sells it to the wholesaler he sells
it to the retailer, he sells it to the original
raiser, and he pays all these middlemen a
profit, wipes his weeping eyes with cotton
rag, and goes to his grave a servant of them
all.

political, as the record of this congress will

The proposition to move the state capital
did not develop the strength that was eX-

country and up-country members could not
withstand the social attentions, joy-giying
drinkables and gastronomic delights that
were lavished upon them by the big-bugs of
the now capital city. These things do some
times happen to be very convincing argu-
ments. But, Notwithstanding and neverthe-
less, there We're other reasons.
