WORTH REMEMBERING.
When the interstate commerce commis-
sion was established years ago,it was done
only after the bitterest opposition of the
railroads and there were innumerable
prophecies from those who new the busi-
ness, and who resented the interference of
those who did not, that the effect would
be to paralyze the railroad industry.
Nevertheless’the deathblow was relent-
lessly struck. How dead are the railroads
today? They even lean on the commis-
sion, and railroad managers suggest that
its powers should be enlarged. All that
dead-and-dying business ha.s passed out
of mind.
When the coal strike, was at its height
and the perils of the people were grave
and daily increasing, we were told that
interference was an outrage and that if
the demands of the miners were acceded
to, the coal mines would never thereafter
yield any profit and the industry would
be knocked in the head.' In the emer-
gency the president did intervene and a
settlement was made and that settlement
practically gave the miners their demands
so far as the impossible wages were con-
cerned.
Have the coal companies been ruined?
It is the kind of ruin that everybody in
business prays for; their profits have been
immeasurably the largest they have ever
known and they are rolling in prosperity
today. The prophecies from the only peo-
ple who knew the coal business turned
out as erroneous as those of the qjily
people who understood the railroad busi-
ness at an earlier date.
Prophets of ruin, who are so scared at
the possibility of other things happening
that they do not want, may consider these
simple facts and cheer up.
Hanna and Heath will retire from the
national Republican committee after the
convention in June. Roosevelt, it is un-
derstood, wants Secretary of War Root
to run his campaign and will relieve him
of the burdens of active management.
Root will be a figurehead while Roosevelt
will do the necessary strenuous stunts.
All things come to him who advertises.
Not only live merchants who would as
soon think of doing business without
clerks as without daily newspaper space,
but all classes of interests which to their
success need the attention and recogni-
tion of the general public are learning to
go straight to the newspapers.
The New York Sun says “Turkey apol-
ogizes.’’ It should be just the reverse,
the only trouble being that this early
after Christmas there are not many to
accept apologies.

the secretary’s reply reaches him it is his

Press Pickings.
LET TEXAS STAND PAT.
State Topics.
Every time Texas gets tangled up~*vith
the United States in a suit over her
boundary she loses. There was Greer
county, for instance, which Texas might
have owned today had it not been for the
agitation of a certain Texas congress-
man, who prevailed on the Federal gov-
ernment to appoint a commission to settle
a boundary dispute which existed prin-
cipally in his own imagination. The com-
mission was at last appointed and the re-
sult of its labors is knowrn to all. The
last Texas legislature began another
boundary agitation, but Senator Charles
A. Culberson advised the legislature to
profit by the Greer county experience and
let well enough alone, and his advice was
wisely heeded. If there is to be any
boundary agitation let it come from the
outside and Texas will be all the better
for it.
HIS OWN SIDE OF THE FENCE.
Hull County Herald.
New Mexico papers are condemning
Congressman Stephens for introducing a
bill in congress defining the boundary
between the two. It is claimed that
Stephens is trying to steal about three
miles of land from New Mexico for
Texas. Surely congress is going to do
nothing more than equal justice and Mr.
Stephens is merely endeavoring to look
after the interests of his district. The
charges of New Mexico papers will not
swerve him from his duty in the matter.

Down in north Texas they are thresh-
ing the unopened cotton bolls and thus
getting quite a remnant of cotton. The
high price caused the experiment and it
is working splendidly.
MISSPELLED SIGNS.
A New Trick in Advertising Which is Al-
ways Successful.
Washington Star.
“One of the tricks of the trade during
the next year,” said the window dresser
for a big department store, “is going to
be the misspelling of Words in window
signs. If works wonderfully. You know
at one time a great trick was to put a
picture in your window upside down. Peo-
ple would come in droves to tell y<Hi
about the ‘mistake,’ and it gave business
a boom for a time.
“But the misspelling of words beats all
the other devices. Why? Because it is
human nature to love to correct other
folks. It’s the same spirit that animates
the man, woman or child who go blocks
out of their way to show a stranger where
he wants to go. It pleases people to know
that they know something that they don’t,
and after they have corrected you they go
on their way inwardly pleased with them-
selves, or else they are so brim full of
geniality that you can sell them goods
that they never dreamed of buying.
“We tried the new trick three weeks
ago. I had a sign made to go in our
‘white’ window. It read, ‘Thanksgiven
Linens.’ Well, that sign had hardly been
in the window fifteen minutes before a
gray-haired man, wearing spectacles,
stepped in. The floorwalker at that. door
caught him. He was beaming. He had
noticed an odd error In spelling In the
window, and if the floor walker would
only step outside he would show it to him.
“The floor walker went out, of course,
with the old fellow, who pointed with his
cane at the carefully misspelled sign,. The
floor walker thanked him profusely and
they chatted until the old chap got to
asking questions about the price of some
of the handkerchiefs in the window. Then
the floor walker took him inside and turn-
ed him over to one of the counter girls.
After that they came thick and fast. In
two hours the floor walker sent for me
and said he couldn’t stand it. He wasn’t
engaged as a barker, and somebody’d have
to be be put on the job; he was neglecting
his business. So we got a man to do noth-
ing but attend to that misspelled sign.”
REVOLUTION IMMINENT.
A sure sign of approaching revolt and
serious trouble in your system is nervou--'
ness, sleeplessness, or stomach upsets*

POEMS WORTH REMEMBERING.

inner life with a bit of poetry.—Prof. Charles Eliot Norton.
There came to the beach a poor exile of Erin,
The dew on his thin robe was heavy and chill;
For his country he sighed when at twilight repairing
To wonder alone by the wind beaten hill;
But the star attracted his eye’s sad devotion,
For it rose o’er his own native isle of the ocean,
Where once, in the fire of his youthful emotion,
He sang the bold anthem of Erin go bragh.
Whatever
affairs, don’t

Sad is my fate! sad the heartbroken stranger;
The wild deer and wolf to a covert can flee,
But I have no refuge from famine and danger,
A home and a country remain not to me.
Never again, in the green sunny bowers,
Where my forefathers lived, shall I spend the sweet hours,
Or cover my harp with the wild woven flowers,
And strike to the numbers of Erin go bragh.
Yet
One
Erin! an exile bequeaths thee this blessing!
Land of my forefathers! Erin go bragh!
Buried and cold, when my heart stills her motion,
Green be thy fields—sweetest isle of the ocean!
Amd thy harp striking bards sing loud with devotion,
Erin mavournin—Erin go bragh!
Where is my cabin door, fast by the wild wood?
Sisters and sire! did ye weep for its fall?
Where is the mother that look’d on my childhood
And where

Corps of New York Physcians
Who May Declare Pneu-
monia Infectious.
By Associated Press.
New York, N. Y., Dec. 29. -Owing to
the unusual number of deaths. in New
York from pneumonia in the last six
weeks a corps of physicians have been
appointed by the department of health to
make an investigation of the causes of
the epidemic and the report will be in the
hands of Health Commissioner Lederlee
in a few days.
In the past week 272 fatal pneumonia
cases were recorded. That is the largest
number of deaths from the disease in the
history of the city. The previous week
269 deaths occurred and it was then
thought that conditions would improve.
When the disease became prevalent,
early in November, the deaths were
largely confined to the localities inhabited
by working people, but within the last
two weeks there have been as many
death’s, proportionately, among the
wealthier classes.
Many physicians regard this as another
evidence that pneumonia is an infectious
disease. It is the general belief in the
health department that the epidemic is
due to the recent sudden changes in the
weather.

New York Custom Officials Busy
Making Collections on Sugar
and Tobacco.
By Associated Press. ...
New York, N. Y., Dec. 29.— Custom of-
ficials at this port are’ busy making col-
lections on sugar and tobacco . stored in
the bonded warehouses under the Cuban
reciprocity treaty, which has just be-
come effective. Under the new regula-
tions there is a reduction of 20 per cent in
the duty on sugar, tobacco and other
Cuban staples coming into the United
States .
The withdrawals of cigars'in bond after
the new duty has been paid were prob-
ably heavy, as most of the dealers had
been carrying light stocks in anticipation
of .the change and were pretty thorough-
ly cleaned out by the Christmas trade.
They are now restocking for the New-
Year’s sales, with 20 per cent advantage.
The sugar withdrawals amounted to
about 15,000 tons. There was compara-
tively little sugar stored in the bonded
warehouses, as the importers did not
know previously that the sugar could be
withdrawn at the lower rate. For that
reason the great bulk of raw sugar has
been held back in Cuba pending a de-
cision. The lower duties probably will
not result in cheaper sugar until spring.
