The Ames bill has created great stir
among Texas cattlemen. All newspapers
OF this section of country devoted to the
live stock industry have severely criti-
cised the measure, denouncing 1t as
piece of treAchers on the part Of the legis'
iative committee OF the Consolidated Cat
lie Growers Association; and scarcely 6
meeting of stockmen has been held In
Texas this spring at which resolutions
denunciatory of the bill have not beer
passed before its adjournment. The bu
reau of animal industry, as now con-
structed, has been of great benefit tc
stock interests throughout the whole
country, and it would be sorry
piece of legislation to tear dowr
an institution of admitted merits and sub
stitute q concern which would start GU
on policy antagonistic to the interest,"
of great many people whom 1t Is calcu
lated to serve.

The election bet is on the wing. Ii is
flying back and forth from the Demo
cratic voter, but chiefly forth, as takers
are not 80 plenty as they have been in
past campaigns, and the jubilant voters
who hore that Cleveland may win are
anxious, TO induce despair in the minds
OF their opponents by displaying conf
dence in the shape OF bets. Now it will
not do to be over hard upon the election
bettor, because he IS as a rule perfectly
honest and straightforward fellow, who
never gambles or bets on anything else.
He has several motives for betting
first, he honestly believes that it is as
safe speculation as can be found, next.
he imagines that it will in small degree
help his side to more certain victory by
discouraging their opponents, and last,
but most important, it increases the ex-
citement over the issues of the campaign.
AS matter of fact the venture is no
more certain than any gambling on fu.
ture events, it can have no sOlidly bene.
nciai effect upon the campaign, and the
excitement would be quite enough for
health without it. With all due SYM
pathy for the election bettor we would
call his attention to the indubit-
able fact that all the demoraliz.
ing tendencies of gambling are en-
bodied in more insidious and milder
form In the election bet. The moral o5.
lectlons to lotteries aud stock gambling
are OF equal force against election gtmb.
ling, and there is another very serious
objection TO the practice. 1t smothers
patriotism and fosters a narrow and par
tisan spirit. A man with money al stake
on the election is apt to become hopelessly
blind to the real issues before the peopl4
ana even II he can practice rare self
control, he encourages party blgOtry in
the man who bets against him. Perhaps
that man might have been open to fair
argument and conviction if lie had not
acquired a money interest in the
campaign. This may seem TO be-
. low valuing of the convictions
OF good citizens, but it is not meant that
they are consciously influenced in their
votes by the money at stake. They
would have plenty of plausible reasons 10
give for their political faith before they
alluded TO the hard cash at stake on the
result. The growing practice of betting
ON elections is encouraging a spirit out
OF all harmony with the theories of popu.
p1 government, and the fact that It is

Engineering Netos notes that the steam
car heating law goes into effect in New York
state on November |. BY m amendment
passed last winter, the state railroad COM
mlssioners arc empowered to grant exten.
sion to certain parties on good reason, and
q hearing has been given to the following
roads The Delaware ~ Hudson asked to
be relieved for two months this company
has adopted tho McElroy system, but tho
cars cannot be equipped by November.
The Grand Trunk railroad wanted eXomp.
ton TOR one year, 30 that 1t might obtain
the b9st system. Tho Lehigh, Pennsylva-
MIA and Lackswanna railroad companies
asked for years relief because no uniform
coupler or steam heating device had beon
adopted several lines ran over the Lehigh
road and the trains were made up OF mixed
cars. The commissioners reserved thoir
decision. As ono Of tho chief obstruo-
tions Ia tho way OF adopting steam
car heating devices was tho lack
OF uniform steam coupler, tho
commission notified the railroads TO send a
representa- to a meeting that WAS hold
Oh Tuesday in New York to agree upon
some uniiorm steam coupler. The meet
ing ad djourned without result. The Now
York Central Insisted that they could not
now change the System they had already
adopted. Other roads expressed willing
ness 10 adopt steam heating though their
representatives complained OF the short
time given in which to comply with tho
law. # tho Mud Run disaster had happened
in mid winter how many OF the wounded
would have escaped burning to death?
The cold weather is close upon us, and the
car stove comes on serenely 10 every state,
but New York, whore the commissioners
offended tho railroads by their haste.
Pity that similar oiionse was not
given In PeGnay lvaniB.

OLD RAILROAD SCHEMES.
How Our FOrefathers Thought to Get
From Boston to the Hudson.

How Our Forefathers Thought to Get
From Boston to the Hudson.
There is an interest just now in re-
counting the efforts that have been
made at different times to build a great
through line from Boston to the West.
Back as early as 1926. when the Erie
canal was about to open a new line of
travel and commerce between the Hud-
son and the lakes, Massachusetts was
striving to open a line of communica-
ton from Boston harbor to the Hudson
river.
In 1926, in compliance with resolve
of the Legislature, Loammi Baldwin
made preliminary survey for II canal
from Boston to the Hudson, and one of
the routes by which he made survey
was almost identical with the present
line of the Fitchburg railroad, and he
suggested a tunnel for the canal
through the Hoosac mountain from the
Deerteld river to North Adams. An
other survey was made farther south
between Boston and Springfield. The
opening of the railroad from the Quincy
granite quarries to tide water. dis
lance of about three miles, and the dis
cussion and the opening of short lines
in England. turned public attention in
this State from canals to railroads and
nothing more than the surveys and the
making OF reports came of the project
of building a canal from Boston to the
Hudson; but in 1927 and in 1928 James
f. Baldwin who is said to have been
son of Loamimi Baldwin, made a sur
vey of a railroad from Boston to the
Connecticut river by two routes One
followed the line of the present Boston 4
Albany railroad, and the other was al
most exactly on the line of the Central
Massachusetts railroad. Its greatest
divergence from the line of the Central
was in the town of Princeton and Hub
bardston, the present road going lit
tie to the south of the survey Of 1928
That line struck the Ware river at Hub
bardston and then followed it to Bonds
vile; thence to Belchertown. There
it bore to the left and passed through
Cranky and South Hadley to the Con-
necticut river at Rock Ferry half mile
below Mount Tom station on the Con-
necticut River railroad. instead of go
ing through Amherst and Hadley.
This line was LOG miles long from Bos-
ton. The exact distance from Boston
to Northampton by the Central is 1881
miles. The survey of 1928 contem.
plated the building of railroad. the
ears on which were to be propelled by
horses. -Sprinqfeld Mass. Union.

Broken Rails in Winter.

A practical railroad engineer of ex-
tensive observation and experience
writes in answer to the question
whether frost weakens rails that, con-
trary to what is commonly held in re-
gard to this point, II low temperature
does not decrease the strength of rails,
though accidents are more likely to
occur from broken rails in cold wealth
er. The reason given for this latter
fact is that the ground. when frozen
solid. is rigid, losing the elasticity
which acts rs safeguard in fine
weather, and thus, when train runs
on such a road-be;l. something must
yield, and as the rail is the weakest
point, It gives way. Extended expert
ments, says this writer, have been
made with testing machines on steel
and iron rails, the results of which
show that the cold does not weaken
the metal Mt all; the frost is also likely
to diminish the safety of bridges by
causing the metal to contract and pro-
duce an unequal strain on the trusses.
