crs' movement, says.
|. They will secure a thorough
discussion Of some Important eco
nomioal questions. They will force
tho people to consider carefully the
problem Of tho State ownership Of
the great public highways. 1t is not
absurd to demand that the State
should own and control, even if it
does not operate, the railroads; and
that should own and operate the
tolegraphs. The conclusion to which
such an experienced railway manager
as the President of tho Chicago and
a a.. . u 81 .H.T -# 10 - 4s
Alton railway has already come, is
one to which many other people are
likely to come in tho course Of this
debate. If the farmers can stick to-
gether, and stick to their text long
enough to get this business tho
roughly ventilated, thcy will do q
good service.
2, They are loosening tho bands of
public ~partisanship and arc opening
the way for sensational cooperation
Of citizens for all desirable purposes.
"The most hopeful feature of this
whole uprising" writes a shrewd OBJ
server, "is the smashing of tho old
party shacklcs that goes along with
it," That it may lead to a recon
]struction of parties is not improba-
bic. W. . ., ...
3. They arc helping to make an
end of the scctionalism which has
been q large part of the capital of a
certain class of politicians. Their
manifcstoes point to this as the one
striking result of their work thus
far. "Scarcely a vestige," they say,
"of the old sectional prejudice of a
few years ago is now visible within
our ranks" The South and the
West are coming into fraternal rcla-
tions. Mr.. Lodge has already dis
covered that tho West is not sup
porting his force bill. "Thc dcma-
gogue politician who now attempts
to array sectional prejudice in ordor
that he may keep farmers equally
divided on important questions" is
admonished that he is about to con-
front ga superior intelligence that
will soon convince him that his occu-
,paticn is gone"
"The farmers movement is not,
probably, the delugo; but it will
prove to be something of a shower
i'll some quarters a cyclone-and it
will clear the atmosphere"

On the side of the Big Black
mountain, says the Louisville Cou-
ater-.Jommal, about 300 yards from
the Wise County. line, in Harlan
County, KY, there stood until last
week the most valuable tree in the
South Appalachian mountains. 1t is
curlcd grain black walnut, and the
owner had it grubbcd up by the roots
so as not to lose even a chip. A
New York lumber dealer bought the
tree from an ignorant mountaincer
for $40, paid n man $500 to move it
to the nearest railroad, and thinks he
will make a profit of $4,000.

New York, November 49, Pre-
sidcnt Inman, of the Richmond Ter
minal system, was asked this morn
ing if the story that Jay Gould had
acquired a controlling interest in the
system was true. Mr.. Inman said in
reply: "There arc 100000 shares of
stock, and of this amount Gould has
bought up ~one-sevcnth, or 100000
shares. The Board of Directors
consists of eighteen members and
the amount Of stock held by Gould
will entitle him to three Of four
members in that board at the next
election. I regard Mr.. Gould and
his son, George, as first class rail
road mon, and they will be welcomed
in the present management. My
present relations with Mr.. Gould arc
of the most friendly character. Gu,
system has two direct connections
with the Missouri Pacifc-ono at
Memphis, Tenn, and the other at
G~recnyillc, Miss, so it will be seen
that the combining of thu. two inter.
ests will be beneficial"

A Magnificent Victory.

The Democrats of Connecticut and
the nation fought and won a magnifi-
cent victory neutrality-suspicious.
alike for the purpose that animated
this campaign and magnificent for
the clearness of it's expression, It.
was a day long to be remembered as
a manifestation of what the Ameri-
oan people are capable of in tho line
OF self-govornment when fully
aroused to the peril of their situation,
and the gravity of their administra-
tive and legislative needs.
The Register will be excused if it
congratulates itself in particular
upon the outcome Of the contest.
For years we have done battle against
excessive tariff taxation, and for
o long time we stood alone of all the
Democratic papers in New England
for o revenue tariff. And this posi-
ton was maintained in the face of
protest, vigorously expressed, against
forcing such a policy upon the party
N the State. But confident alike of
the justice of the cause and the in
nate wisdom Of tho people of Con-
nccticut, we have persisted until we
have been finally rewarded with a
triumphant national vindication of
tariff reform. And even moro than
this we have lived to see tho
madeGn Rer.iaa;esa .ssiSadaauaiea- to-
wards force legislation and central
lied power fiercely rebuked at the
polls. We have lived to sec stalwart
American manhood triumph over
corrupt leaders and corrupt methods.
Verify, yesterday was q glorious day.
a crisis in the affairs of tho nation
was met and safely overcome.
The lesson Of it all is that though
such men as Quay, Dudley, Delama-
ter, Reed and tho renegade Lodge,
by the accident and incident of cir
cumstances, become powers in the
nation temporarily, after all, theirs
are the methods and principles which
cannot prevail permanently in this
glorious free republic. The people
endure most patiently for a time
the i%niquities of a false economic
policy and even with interfcrences
with their individual rights under
the constitution, but finally they as
sert themselves and return to the
Old standard or truth, justice, law
and order. The republic was never
safer than it is this minute, though
bus a few hours ago it was assailcd
from within itself with a desperation
and r~ecklcssncss that threatened its
progress and welfare. Let the pco-
pie, the masses, take the lesson to
heart and apply its teachings to their
own political conduct.-New Xayen

The Growth Of Incomes.

MffFannnsseM Sage has been inter.
viewed BY the Wall Street Daizs
Nows about Jay Gould and bis for
tune EIe ssia sTrfhrere is not q man
in America or IN the world at large
who absolutely owns and controls,
and has registered in his own name,
as many stocks as Mr.. Jay Gould,
It, is no exaggeration to Say that he
draws moro revenue from Ills invested
capital than does any other living
soul. ;
sin order that some idea may be
had Of his wealth, it is simply neoes-
sary to take three of his stocks
Manhattan, of which he Gyms and
has registered 100000 900, Missouri
Pacific, $12,500,O0O, and Western
Union 1926, 100000. OF these three,
independent of his vast number Of
bonds and other diyidend-payying
securities, he draws for dividends
over 100000 agar. His income
from other 80, rces, of course,
amounts to four or five times as
much,
"People do not appreciate what
the amount of an income of a man
like Mr.. Gould means. 1t will be
readily seen that he cannot COM
lnence to 8 for his own personal
uses cvena small part of the inter-
est which the dividend money alone
would yield. He must re-invest it,
and does re-invest it. When you
consider that there arc scores, and I
might say hundreds, of people whose
yearly rentals, dividends, interest on
bonds, etc., amount to, we'll, from a
half million to two million dollars o
year, it will be readily seer that they
have considerable surplus to put into
new investments. The creation OF
securities, which continually goes
on, indicates that there are plenty oil
people who + willing to put Their
money into them"

DfbA Ssl Key, Of Stockholm, reatl.
9 very interesting paper before the
recent Medical Congress, Berlin, on
the aayelspsaent Of ptu;tofty and It's
reIation to morbid phenomena among
school children Tn Denmark and
Sweden 1t has beer the custom for
many years to weigh and measure G,uar
the school children every year. Out
of $4,000 boys and 5000 girls the
results Were os follows: "In the sew
enrthl or eighth yearo Of life boys grow
considerably in height,and in weight,
after which q delay sets in which
reaches its maximum I'M the tenth
year and lasts till the fourteenth
year, when q considerable accelera-
ton of growth suddenly sets in.
This a%cceleration lasts till the end of
the seventeenth year. It's maximum
is in the fifteenth year. Tho accelora-
ton is at first in height and later on
in weight, gaining it's maximum in
the. latter in the sixteenth year. At
the end of the nineteenth year bodily
development of youth seems to end.
In girls the course of developments
is quite different. Tho decrease in
growth after the eighth year is not
50 great as in boys and yields in the
twelfth yoar to Il rapid increase III
height. The acceleration in the in
crease of weight comes later, but
outstrips it in tho fourteenth year.
In the seventeenth or eighteenth
year the increase is but slight. The
increase in weight, however, sinks to
zero almost in the twentieth year,
when the growth in women may be
regarded as ended" A remarkable
thing, as pointed out by DR.. Key, is
that boys grow faster than girls in
weight and height till the eleventh
year, then moro slowly till the six
tcenth, and then faster again. With
slight variation these relations obtain
all over Sweden and Denmark. In
Italy and the United States of
America the period of puberty in
girls ends at least 2 year earlier" In
the spring and summer the child
grows in height, while in the
autumn and winter it increases more
in weight" "IIow is it now with
the health of school children during
the development of pubcrty2 II
was found that DO per cent of the
$4,000 boys in the high schools in
Sweden were ILL.,; that II per cent
suffer from habitual headache, 10
per cent from c~hlorosis." awe
ought" he concluded, "to adapt our
demands on the youthful organism
to its strength and power of resist
ance during the various phases of de-
velopmcnt, to promote the health
and vigorous bodily development of
youth better than we do now. [
therefore indorse, from the bottom
of my heart,5 the words which ,J}oihm
Potter Frank, the father of school
hygiene, uttered n hundred years
ago: Spare their fiber still, spare the
forces of their minds, do not waste
the energies of the future man in the
child.'"
