SATURDAY, FEBOUARY q, 1907. Under the "Pure Food" law will it be unlawful to put pTe in pepper! Boston blue laws are driving the servant girls out of the city. The blue housewives will drive the blue law+ out of Boston. Why is the Piekens railroad known as the " )oodle?,"- [News and Courier. It is up to the town knockers to answer that question, An exchange remarks that Rev. Ricker was a pleasant caller at that -office. There are many kicks coming to this office, but they a.ao neither of the pleasant nor the Godly kind. They have d. ecovered in Chicago that the hog dt ivers at the, stock yards use the same cry to urge on unwilling porkers that was employed by the swine herders of ancient (roece. But we can nuver be happy till-Chicago discovers where the. art of embalming beef came from. Rev. Henry N. Couden, the blind preacher of the House of Representa tives, had an idea a time ago that he 'would prefer to be chaplain of the Senate and wont to SpeakeL' Cannon about it. "What do you want to go over there for?" stormed Uncle Joe. "The House is a tlower' garden and the Senate is a graveyard. "1 know," .eplied the chaplain, gently; "but one stays longer in a,graveyard than in .a flower garde. ' It is pos ible to get too much of a od thin eveu prosperity. Railroads S canntYandle the immense traffic and freight 's congested. Shipments are received to he delivered any old -t ine, and merchants and others are -'frespondingly handicapped. The stest is on the Rock Island road, that took fcrty. two days to haul a car .of wheat thirty- one miles. We must -have something to kick about or we would not be happy. A bulletin from the Department of Agriculture: discusoses the injurious eff'ect of cott.onseed meal when fed to hogs. According to this bulletin, bogb die with a severe "hemorrhagic gastro-enteritis, congestion of the liver with pairenchymatons degenera tion of the Iun gs, .aloud.v swelling u'f the kidneys, and often a wel-miarkedl dropsical effusion of :ho pectoral an~d 'peritoneal cavities, and occasionally in the pericardial sac." Land sake's elivel we never thought it was as lbad as that. ________ Russel A. Aiger, U7. S. Senator from M1ichigan, and at one time Secretary of War under McKinley, died v<ery * uddenly last week at Washington. Hie did not amount to much as Sen rator and as Secretary of War he did - not win much reputation as an ad. mninistrative ofticer, pertinently re rnarks the Charleston Courier. He is said to have left a letiter explaining '~hy he resigned from McKinley's cabinet. It has generally been be ieved that ho resigned because the f resident wvishmd him to do so. That was reason enough and it wvas not at I necessary for him to) have left a :letter to be read after his death to Gay Ao. _______ Let the dispensary go to the eter. nal low-wows,who cares? A gonius ogt in Oklahoma has invented a plug -. beer plug -as innocent looking sga plug of tobacco. It can be car tied in the vest pocket and is gular. ant'eed absolutely safe in dry towns; ~thet is, if you )ilde it under the door stop before your wife goes through your pookests.

And the county can vote on the question without a lot of red tape that the dispensary's friends have insisted upon. Then what advantage has the State dis pensary over the county option from the standpoint of the prohibitionist? To our way of thinking the county option system offers the prohibition ist several advantages. Building and loan associations offi cered by conservative and responsible men are town-builders and at blessing to working people, and all othor who want to own their own homn. and who are in need of fluancial aid. Philadelphia is noted as a city where more working people own their huie than any city in the Umitcd States, and this was brought about by t1., "building and loan associati n:." The experience of some of our peopl. with one of these associations shoub i not discourage them, neither abould they condemn the plan hecau%e they have bean misled by glib-ton;n-}.1 agents. But why should our people patronize foreign corporations? Or ganize a local company and place nat the head careful and conserva;si, men-men whom you know to ble prudent besiness men, and it would prove a boon to the stockholders andm a factor in the upbuilding of thw towns of the county. In a local comu. pany the cost of management wouHl be reduced to a minimum, doing~. away with travcling agen ts, high - salaried oilcers, etc. The loea banks wvould be custodians of the funds andl stockholders wvould feel ac confidence t hat does not exist shent dealing with foreign compane With a membershIp of 50 or 100~ thi. com3panly would sooni no( in at iosition t.o make loans.
