Mr. DunieU twines Irnuk a the Advocate saying that under divine law he would be sentenced to hell not for a million years but for eternity. The old story illustrating avarice nd the desire to obtain something for pothing. It runs thus: A dying father called his suns about bun and told tlia.ni that nit-hough the farm he was about to li'iYi them was worn out ami had become unproductive, there a as buried some where on it a great treasure and if tbey would persistently dig they would be richly rewarded. The ions digged and gged, and turned the old farm up side down, although they found no buried treasure, yet their harvests were bountiful and their reward richer than they knew. The Rah-igh officials who have permitted hell holes to flourish under their noses are no worse than some other public officials. A public official who lias taken a sacred oath should enforce the law at all hazards or resign. He cau't afford lo do otherwise. We have all lieu id how a street car company worked humau nature by burying $500 in a great paik which wantsd plowed np and thoroughly pulverized. Great numbers threuged the cars and thus the company got back all iU money and the park pul verized as was never any park before that time and all because of a desire to obtain something for nothing. In the memorabilia of Socrates tha interesting of the choice of lieicules is given. It is here repeated in sub stance for the benefit of yonug men: When Hercules approached the period of young manhood when the young begin to give intimations whether they will enter life by the path of virtue or by that of vice, he went into a solitary place and sat dewn perplexr .. s to whioh of these two paths he wonld puisue. Two maidens appeared before him, one in gaudy attire and with froward man ner said: "Ilercules, if you will fol low the path that I point 1 year you shall taste of every species of pleas ure, and lead a life free from every sort of trouble. Yonr whole- time will be occupied in considering what meat or drink will please, you and what, will most delight yon. Her cules asked her name, and she re plied: My friends call me Happi ness but those who bate me give me to my disparagement the name of Vic. The other maiden, more reserved manner and more modest demeanor said to him: Hercules, I shall not deceive you. The path that I point out is full of labors, full of trials, full of difficulties, but It is the path that leads to immortality, If you eeek to be beloved by your friends, you must serve your friends, If you are to be honored-by any city you must benefit that city; if you wist to be admired by all Greece for your merit you must endeavor to be of service to all Greece.

Roosevelt Gives Secretary Paul Mnnn o Ploan Rill nf Health More TeStiniOily from the Fruit Shippers. Wiishinutoii. DC, July 3. The President of the United Stales, the Hon T Uoosevelr, is gettiug himself uisiiKeu uy ine mica aim mm pariy nailers thut have always hitherto stood for anything that the Repub lican administration ever did. It all conies up over the rather remarkable correspondence recently made public between President Roosevelt, Secre tary Morton of tl.e Navy, Attorney General Moody and the special counsel designated to investigate the charges of rebate paying against the A T & S Y R R, with Piesident Roosevelt's direct refusal to allow the prosecution of Ml Morton for bis tiarticipaliou in mai ruoaie payiug, wars out what I have said iu this correspondence, touching on the siucerilv of the President regarding railroad rate legislation. It proves to my mind conclusively that the whole Miiug is a farce, and that the President's strenuous announcements that he proposed to put freight lates under government control, and make that an issue of his fall cauipuigu, was either a mere blind to stave off tariff revisiuu or else a shrewd piece of work to create an issue with which u further the interests of Secretary T.ift a Presidential candidate, uud 1 1 iit:ce.ful, to be itHed in building itii mi nnpregnanle Republican ma chine. The remarkable bill of health, which hp gives in .r M-irtun in his letter of Jinn Id, h.is stunned rail load miu Nothing else, Kvery railroad man knows that if rebut s were allowed, as between the A T & S I'' R U iiiid the Color ido Fuel and Iron Co, Mr Morton as traffic man ager ot Ule r-'a-l ulnar, or necessity, have hcen cognizant. It could not be otherwise The red tape of rail road offices is scarcely less than that of Government bureaus. If rebates were given to the fuel and iron company, ur anybody else, the phepks and vouchers therefor must, nerfurou, have passed through Mr Morton s hands. It is simply inconceivable that such things should obtain iu the management or a' i ail road without thu knowledge, of the man who is at the head of the traific depaitment, as Secretary Morton was. Either the statement maue oy mm to me President, and ou which rreaideut Roosevelt's whitewashing letter was based is untrue, or Secretary Morton was not a irood railroad man, and that never has been asserted at any time in the many years be has beeu connected with the railroads. As a matter of fact his reputation among railroad men as. a rebate payer was paramount to any other. That these rebates have been paid by officers of the traffic department under Mr Morton without bis kuowleilge and consent, and contrary to bis direction, is simply impossible. Such a thing could not happen in any railroad office in this country aud every railroad man is satisfied' of it. Anutn.-r tiling wqicu mis remarka ble correspondence develops is the fact that thu position of thu railroad companies, that existing laws are surticient to punisn any infraction oi them, is correct, is made evident to any one who is willing to sec that fact. Messrs Judson and Harmou have proved this so conclusively as to call for executive interference in order to protect an old and warm personal friend, xne special coun sel found a way under the so called Elkin's law and the provisions of the Sherman Act to punish not only the railroads bnt the otticers ot those railroads. And when the way is found, the President of the United States stent in and says it shU sot be used effectively because it happens to hit one of his friends. The crux of the whole matter, therefore; seems to be that the country has law enougn to punish any offender among ran road men who mav make rebates and discriminations in favor of indi viduals or localities, but that law is not, aud has not been enforced to its extent, as the railroads claim. This stranee correspondence wonld teem to indicate further that rresid.nt Roosevelt, at least, does not want it enforced. uch being the case, it is impossi ble to believe in the sincerity of President Kooscvelt s expressed ue- sire to "punish the railroad com panios, as He is pleased to (rm ih tor violation of the law. Jt would seem apparent instead that what he really wants is a power of absolute control over the companies through rate regulation so that they may be used to advance his political interest or those of his successor in the Pres idential chair. It also agrees .with my contention iu previous letters that tms wnoie railway rate reguiat-iou agitation is only a device of the pro tected industries to stave off and smother for a time at least, all pro-1 positions for inoh tariff revision as are now urgently demanded for the relief of the people and to supply the deficit now existing in the gov ernment treasury, and that President Roosevelt is a party to tat scheme. If his back sommersaults and gyra tions do not mean this then Tare hunting for the man who can explain them to me. - People who think that Roosevelt is a little tin deity, should study tome OI UIS lllOODSlsiencies. lie can liae- " PTn quicker thaa Hadeaoan scorch a feather.

State Auditor B F Dixon is issu ing letters lo the members of the county pension boards asking that tbey do not approve applications tor pensions except in very extraordinary circumstances in cases couiiug under the paragraph of Section 1 of the peusion law allowing the boards to ut ou the lists sue li soldiers and idows as are unable to earn a living from property valued at $500 or more tor taxation and who may ap- iear to the boards from special cir cumstances worthy to be placed o he pension roll. Major Dixou calls attention to the fact that money appor turned to such as these would only take it from old soldiers who need it the worst possibly.. And this could not done exivpt in p,pes that are ex tremely urgent. The county boards meet in all the counties of the state ou the first Monday in July, which falls this year on July del. The letter to the county boards follows: 1 enclose you herewith copies of the pension law together with the list of pensioners in your couuty. The present law was amended by the last legislature as follows: Sec, 1. rrovided, that the county board cf pensions may place npou the pension roll, in the classes to which be or she wonld otherwise belong, any Confederate soldier, sailor or widow disqnalfied by the provisions of this section, who may appear to be nnable to earn a living from property valued as mnch as five hundred dollars or more for taxation, and who may appear to the board for seCial circumstances to he placed upon the pension roll. Of course this matter is left ptitirelv with the countv pension board, mid it is earnestly desired that the board will be extremely care ful iu making thorough examination of each applicant who has property of over $500 iu value, -because every one of this class that is placed upon the pension roll will take money from those who pofsiblTaeed.it worse, and unless the cases are extremely urgent, 1 thirk it wonld be wise for the ixwntv pension board not to approve tins CMas or pensioners.
