THE FATAL GIFT OF RICHES.

Society is indebted TO Judge Barrett of
New Y ork for ruling which will be APP
proved by all sensible men.
On November Is, 1873, Helen Astor,
daughter OF the late William Astor, mar
ried James r. Roosevelt, who is now first
secretary Of the American legation at
London. Atvarions times after the mar
riage, and lastly by his will, Mr. Astor
placed in the hands of trustees for the
daughter securities which produced. an in
come of $4,000 year, tbs income to 90 TO
Mrs. Roosevelt:s children after her death.
Mr.. Astor died on April %, 1892, and his
daughter, Mrs. Roosevelt. on November
u. 1898 She left a will bequeathing the
income of the trust funds to her two chill
dren, who are now Is and - years of age,
respectively. Their father applied to the
Supreme Court for an order directing the
trustees to allow him out of the children's
estate of $4,000 year $4,000 year for
the expense of their maintenance aud edu-
cation, and he explained that though his
own income is S24, 900 year. it was insult
fcient to enable him to bring up his chill
dren in the style to which they had been
accustomed.
La support Of his application. his
-hLNoncu uIOtucl-lIl:lAVs MIS-. w lllIduD
Aston. certified that his application met
with her approval. as without the income
he applied for sit would be impossible for
him to educate and clethe the children and
to.give them suitable home" Mr.. John
Jacob Astor, the head of the house, also
Endorsed the application, stating thai the
income Mr.. Roosevelt demanded Seems
TO be reasonable and necessary in order
that the children may live in a manner
suitable to their condition in life" On
fhis. the referee, Mr.. Davies, reported in
favor of Mr.. Roosevelts request
But when the report came before the
court tor confirmation Judge Barrett had
something to say, and it was this: Hay-
ing cut the referees award in two, so that
each child's allowance should be $500 in
stead of $4,000, he went on:
The allowance asked. $4,000. Is something

Such a sum Is certainly out of the question

course, be considered. So, TOO, should their

such precedent as the granting OF this appIca-
ton In its entirety would Involve. The income
should not be dissipaIed merely TO accustom
these children TO luxury. When they are OF
age they C IN do what they like with their own.
La the meantime they should be taught the
value OF money, and should be habituated 10

MAKING HASTE SLOWLY.

The Kern County Echo strongly advo-
Gates the plan of Government ownership
of railroad beds with the active work of
transportation in private hands. The
Echo contends that railroad in such case
would be like a waterway connecting in
terror points with the seaports and one
with another. Concerning the relative
efficiency as vehicle of transportation of
waterways and railroad beds the Echo
says:
Butif all railroads were riye:s there would
still be one thing wanting. This IS rapid age
and time is the essence OF all commercial
affairs. A river acrOssthe ointment could not
serve our fruit shippers and merchants would
complain of the. delay in Inc arrival of their
goods by steamboat. But suppose that instead
of waterway open TO the use OF any and all
who wanted TO own or hire boat we had a
steel way open to the use Of any and all who
wanted TO own or hire an engine or train. Can
there be any doubt that Jranscontinentai traffic
would regulate itself? We should then have
every advantage now possessed by a river,
canal or lake with 1.-THE important factor OF
speed added. ~.
The transportation problem is mighty
one, and, as our Kern County conlempo-
rary says, it may be as well to hasten
slowly. A little experiment as we 90
along can 90 no harm. The practicability
OF double-track tairoad across the con-
tlnent open TO all ;comers at equal rates
under Government control may be tested
by taking legal possession Of the single.
track road the Government furnished
money TO build thirty years ago. A few
years OF working on this principle will de-:
termine if is practicable and show what
q effect a road so cons tr5lctpd will have IN
the management of roads in private hands.
There is good reason: to believe that a
double-track railroad. from the Pacific to
the Atlantic would be the best Interstate
Railroad Commission Congress can create.
