the operation of the state.owned
Hungarian system under the zone
plan, just published in Vienna by
Edward Engle, may be of interest.
Previous to the introduction of the
zone system by the government, the
average annual number Of passen-
gers carried was 100000. The
first year after the zone plan was
adopted, the passengers were 49,
100000. The second year they
mounted up to 10000, 200, and the
third year THAT is last year,, they
reached 28,OO0,OOO. The financial
result has been equally brilliant, the
receipts rising from 9,7O5, 900 forms
annually before the adoption of the
zone system to $500, 900 this last
year.
The zone system was simply an
extraordinary reduction of rates on
systematic plan. No railroad
managed for private profit ever
dared to do such thing or ever
would dare to it. The whole story
of the zone system is an overwhelm.
ing argument for public railroad
management as not only the least
oppressive, but the most progressive
system possible.

Let the Populists of every town
ship in Iowa call meeting OF them
selves before March LIST, and arrange
for raising a crop of some kind, to
be donated to the campaign fund.
Some can donate the use of the
ground, others the seed, and others,
or all together, do the seeding, har-
vestiug and marketing. Ten acres
Of wheat, barley, oats, or some 9th

The Kansas Populists will act
wisely now by turning their atten.
ton exclusively to legislation and
leave the Republican monkey show
10 continue its exhibit for the amuse-
ment of the Associated Press re-
porter in Topeka Denver News.
The above suggestion is proper
one. The people are thoroughly
satisfied of the legitimacy of the
Populist organization Of the house.
This is trne, not only Of the Peo-
pies party men, but of the very
best men, irrespective Of party.
What the people want is legislation,
and If this is given them OF char
acter that will afford some relief
from the evils to which they are
now subject, no fears may be enter
tanned concerning the future. Now
that the organization is effected, and
all departments of the state govern
ment are in the hands of the Peo-
Plies party, there will be no good
excuse to offer for failure to enact
the legislation to which the party is
pledged. Time is rapidly passing
There should be great activity in
the legislature from this time for
ward. We hope to see good work
done. Give us wholesome laws,
gentlemen. We are waiting pa
tiently.-Advocate, Topeka.

The Philadelphia Ledger urges the
railway companies to get up petit

Sherman act, and in the same article
points out that the continued coin
age of silver will have tendency
to increase the wages Of railway
employees. That may be good rea-
son for the railway kings to get up
petitions for the decentralization of
silver, but hardly good reason for
the employees signing them.-Jour-

CHARITY.

In theory all the world over, it is we'll understood;
But how would it do to be practical in doing good
Leaving our homes and the cozy places within,
Going out to battle galnst want, suffering and sin,
Like Him who had not where to lay His head
Az we shrink in His footsteps still to tread
The theory's all rigth, the principle true
But how hard do others wish them do
More natural to fight compete with outshinc,
Than in friendship and trust interests combine
Our heart is bad though our heads approve,
The grandeur of humanitarian love.
The principle does bank account touch;
The heorys all right, but the practice is too much.
Yet all who in holy writ believe
Are taught it's blessed to give than receive
Bit is there not mixed with this belief much doabt?
Else why not more practically carry the principle out
Ah the homeless, the friendless the shelterless
Who will be first to aid and to bless
With counsel, sympathy, gifts of gold,
Which means to SUCH gladncss, hope, Joy untold?
Even at some cost of sefsacrifce,
Is it not better our human brother and sister to bless
world meaning is in the words Faith Hope and Charity
And as he then said, true it must be,
That the greatest of these is Charity

GETTING AT FACTS
The Mayor Sets an Expert
to Work.
He Wants to Know the Reason for
Recent Charges of Waste and
Extravaganza.

Expert Cyril Williams of the Board Of
Supervisors began an Investigation yester-
dav into the repair ard supply accounts
of the Board of Education. The lDvestl-
CATION was begun at the request OF Mayor
Ellert.
During the last few weeks there has
been considerable talk of extravaganza
and waste in expenditures for supplies,
and for the School Department carpenter
shop. The talk crystailized at the last
meeting of the Board of Education in the
adoption of the resolution TO abolish the
carpenter-shop retaining only the head
carpenter.
Several of the directors also visited the
Mayor and complained Of excessive bills
for repairing and whitening the schools
during the vacation, the work being done
by ex-SchOol Director Donovan.
ALI this talk induced the Mayor to al
tempt to sft the matter 10 the bottom by
getting at facts and hgures. So he it,
structed Expert Williams 10 go over the
supply aud repair accounts for the whole
year. AS there about 10000 different de-
mands to 90 over and examine. Expert
Williams says the work may take three
months.
The particular bills complained of. those
of Whitenpr Donovan, are very much
larger than those presented by any other
contractor for the same Kind OF work.
Twelve dollars was formerly paid for
whitening a room. but Don0van's bills go
to SIS and over.
When the bills were presented to the
Finance Committee of tie board. it was
found that hey had not been uncOnditon-
ally o Ked by head Carpenter Carr. He
certified them as being correct as regards
the amount of work done, but said moth
ing as regards the charges made.
Director Decker:o hjected s'renuouslv 10
the bills as being very excessive. anu said
the matter should be inves igated
SO the Finance COMMITTEE did not allow
the bills, and al the last meeting OF the
board appointed an expert to 90 and visit
the schools whitennd and see whether the
charges for the work were eXorbi.ant or
not.
Director Bowling was responsible for
letting out the work. as ne acted as chair
man of the Building Committee during the
illness of Director Dunn.
The Auditors books show that the ex-
peuses for repairs for the last fiscal year
in the School Department were $4,000 an
enormous SUN when one comes to compare
it with the work done.
Secretary Beanst oD thinks that the great
est problem ever before the board IS 10
devise system of providing fr repairs
and supplies for the schools which II take
these matters entirely out Of the hands Uf
the politicians.
