SAME MEN WOULD STAY
eminent Ownership Says Pres
ident Hadley.

New Haven, March 21-President
Hadley, Of Yale. a leading American
authority on railroads. speaking last
night on public control of industrial ac-
tivity. said:
The growth of large corporations and
the increasing consolidation of capital
in every form of industrial enterprise
has brought to the front now as never
before that part of the question of so
cialism which relates to the relations
between government and Industrial en-
terprise.
Whatever system is adopted the
mana cement viii be in the hands of the
few. 1t is necessary for the successful
conduct Of modern industry that it
should be managed in this way. These
rev men in whom power is centralized
are likely to be the same, whether the
Industry be held in the name of a pri-
waite corporation or in the name of the
community. The same qualities which
command success in business tend to
command success in politics also. Much
of the complaint with regard to the eff
feet of the money power in politics is
but confession of.the inevitabIeness of
this fact
1T is sometimes said that state rail-
roads will not have to pay the profits
that are now distributed by private
railroads But what does this mean?
The state gets the railroads for moth
ing? No. 1t must borrow money to pay
4CA N-AE14ts ne attempt TO COnHSCaIe
them without pay would not only be
unconstitutional but would be destruc-
tive of all social order. On the money
mus borrowed it must pay interest
The railroads of the country at pres
ent, taking good years and bad years
together, are probably not. earning more
than per cent Should the govern
ment therefore borrow money at 3 per
cent it would simply mean that the
same amount of money would be distri-
outed by government agents to holders
OF government stocks and bonds.
A large part of the difficulty about
trusts at the present days, lies in the
1act that we are trying to carry into an
age OF combination the morals and the
law developed in time of free compe-
ttion- We leave the producer free to
make what prices he likes, because we
assume that failure to do so will
evoke a competitor. In some cases this
process is so slow that some or all of
the consumers are ruined before the
cure has time to work itself OUT

ELECTRIC LIGHT BATHING.
[From Pearson's Magazine. ]


1t has been found that there are many
painful ailments which, when acted
upon by electric heat and. light rays,
are completely banished from the suf
ferer's body. Strong electric light is
thrown onto the seat of suffering; the
patient baskS in a bath Of light and
heat, experiencing nothing but pleas
ant sensations, and, in most cases, an
immediate and comforting sense of re-
lief from pain. Men and women who
for years have lost control of their
limbs, and who have unavailingly tried
every known cure. have arisen after
a course of electric heat baths, and
walked with perfect freedom. The ap-
paratus which enables patients to
battle in electric light is extremely
simple. To an adjustable stand are
fitted to large copper or nickel plated
rehectors, which can be moved in any
direction
If patient is lying in bed, refiectors
are placed on either side, adjusted to
the exact position for locating the rays
when desired. On the rejecting sur
faces are the electric lamps which ra-
date the luminous heat rays. The
heat may be regulated by varying the
distance of the ref1ectors, or the num-
Der of lamps, or by means of a special
regulator which controls the electric
current. Those parts of the body, such
as the armpits or shoulders, which it
would be impossible to treat locally
with other arrangements, are easily
dealt with by the new system. When
the patient is in the right position, and
is comfortably settled Che may be fully
clothed, or covered with blankets, with
out affecting the power of the rays, the
current is turned on, and heat and
light of considerable intensity are i'm
mediately produced. In a few moments
the thermometer will register 300 de-
grees Fahrenheit. I have seen pa
TENTS chatting cheerfully, and expe-
riencing no inconvenience, while an
affected limb has been exposed to heat
rays at a temperature of 400 degrees
Fahrenheit. 1t might be supposed that
such a heat as this would roast a,
limb. Undoubtedly there would be evil
results were it not for the important
fact that dry heat is employed which
evaporates perspiration as soon as it
appears on the body.

ly disguised with the Populist party,
whose machine is becoming corrupt
Although Debs spoke to packed houses
in Los Angeles and was warmly greet
ed, the feeling against new parties was
predominant, and there was a great in
clination toward Bryan. Bryan, the lee
turer believed, would get tremendous
majority in the far western states but
Debs would get an overwhelming vote
in the middle western states, and the
east, with the result that Mckinley
would be elected. At the same time
Mr. Bliss noticed a great feeling of I'M

the people were preparing for some

Goats as Leaders of Sheep.
[From the New York Sun. ]

From the New York Sun.
"An average Mexican sheep flock
numbers about 1000 and there were ten
or more billy goats with every flock
l saw on the range" said A. c. Grim
shaw, who recently returned to New
York after six months stay in Mexico
and the west. 4 learned that the goats
are kept with the flock as leaders. Be
ing ventureSome and Intelligent, they
will go anywhere the shepherd directs
and the silly sheep, who might other
wise balk or stampede at some trifiing
obstacle or alarm, follow them unhesi-
tatingly. The goats set the pace for the
flock and as they are brisk, untiring
walkers, keep the sheep on the move,
saving the shepherd much trouble.
THE Mexican shepherd also has his
dog, though not a true-bred, clear-cut,
handsome animal like the Scotch collie.
The dogs are mOngrels, in all varieties
and degrees, the only point of uniform
ity among them being their extreme
uglineSS in appearance and in DISPOSE
ton toward strangers Some are shaggy
beasts with pointed muzzles and might
at a little distance be easily mistaken
for wolves. But ugly and mean as they
are, the Mexican shepherd has the art
of training them so that they are as
serviceable as is the collie to the shep-
herd of the Scottish moorlands. The
Mexican Sheepdog is loyal to his mas
ter and quick to understand. Many
a. Mexican shepherd owes his life to his
approach of hostile Indians or of their
ambush in his path ahead
Returning to the original subject,
pair of goats once led a flock on a long
journey. A shepherd of Valencia coun-
ty, New Mexico, herdings a flock OF
wethers on a range remote from the
home camp, had the misfortune to lose
his dog through the attack of a noun
tain lion and to break his leg on the
same day. Had the dog been alive he
could have sent him to the home ranch
to summon assistance. AS it was he
had to see the sheep wander away,
while he dragged himself to the place
where his provisions were stored and
waited for such help as chance might
bring him. Five days later the sheep,
led by the corporal goats, appeared at
the home ranch, eighty miles away.
by paths of their own finding and out
missing There was, of course, much
good luck in this. for a dash of timber
wolves among them would not only
have meant the killing of many sheep
on the spot, but would have scattered
the rest of the flock far and wide The
marvel was the intelligence of the goats
in returning by an unfamiliar path to
the place where they had been bred and
the implicit faith of the sheep in their
leadership OF course the arrival of the
sheep at the home ranch led to the
sending out of a searching party for the
shepherd. He was brought in on litter
right between two donkeys, and, though
his injury and become very painful
through neglect, proper surgical treat
ment brought him around all right"
