COMMUNITY OF Interests.

Lie IdlliOduS VI Gu0 COuuuiy bic
fast taking to Mr.. Hills idea
of community of interests. They
realize that the war for traffic en-
tails a great deal of expense and that
a common management will enable
them to lay off a number of expen-
sive officials, reduce the entire work
ing force, enable them to do business
with less rolling stock, as it could be
used wherever needed instead of lying
idle when business was slack in one
particular section: etc. It seems now
only question of a short time when
one gigantic pool will be formed and
all railroad work in unison.
This is good business idea.
There is no doubt that the railroads
working together could make fair pro-
fits with much lower freight tariff
than now in force. If the men at the
head of the pool had the
interests of the people at heart they
could lift a great load from the
shoulders of the people and still do a
profitable business. But it is not in
human nature to use power that way.
The men who are unse]fish enough to
use absolute power for the good OF
the people are few and far between.
Is it not then time for the people to
begin thinking of their community of
interests?" No one doubts that con-
solidation of the railroads will vastly
reduce expenses. The only question
is, who shall be the beneficiaries the
railroad managers or the people.
The former will be the benefciaries
under private ownership of railroads;
the latter under government owner
ship. The era of competition in great
public utilities is thing of the past
Socialism has taken it's place. But
as yet only few enjoy the advantages
of this socialism. We must now de-
eide whether those few shall continue
to reap the advantages and not the
masses, or whether the people as
a whole shall manage these vast con-
Germs that are of such vital import
ance to the commercial life of the
nation. 1t is not a party question,
it is not sectional question. It in
terests everybody, and everybody
ought to preach it inside Of his party,
instead of sneering at it because it
has in the past been advocated by an
opposition party. Already men in
every party are beginning to realize
that this question must be met fairly
and squarely. Ofcourse ifthe beneficial
ries of private socialism can so con-
troll any party that it will not take up
this question the people must look to
some other party that has the courage
to take it up. But it would be far
better if the people would learn to
form their opinions on public ques-
tions by deciding what their interests
are, instead of looking up their party
platforms and make their opinions to
suit the platform. Let the people
study their community of interests"
in an independent manner, and try to
be masters of their party instead
of it's object slaves.

one homogeneous whole, guided by
our constitution and the principles of
the declaration Of independence. No
matter how we may have increased
the area Of the country. the constitu-
ton has hitherto followed the flag,
and freedom and citizenship has been
guaranteed to all who lived under the
folds of.the starry banner. The peo-
pie have felt this, and no matter In
what country they may have been born
they learned to love the flag and the
country it represented. because they
felt they were an integral part of that
country. They became Americans. be-
cause they enjoyed the rights and
privileges of Americans. This is
what has given US our strength. No
nation can be strong unless it is bound
together by this common love of coun-
try.
Now we are asked to abandon this
source of strength and learn to rely
upon the strength of military organi-
cation. We are askedto take into the
nation parts that are to be governed
in a different way; parts that can
never become real homogeneous part
of US because it's people will always
feel that they are not enjoying the
same privileges that we do. If the
Philippines were so situated that they
might become actually part of the
Union, with the full privileges of citi-
zenship given to it's inhabitants when
they were prepared for 1t the future
might atone for the wrongs of the
past. But they are too far away, they
differ too much in every respect to be-
come such, and furthermore the re-
publican party has through congress
declared that they shall never be an
integral part of the United States.
Those people, then, can never become
source of true strength to our coun-
try. They may prove a source OF
riches to corporations and capitalists,
but that only increases a danger that
is already confronting US here. The
nation as a whole will get only the
burden of keeping the people subiu-
gated, and protecting it's possessions
from the rapacious nations of the old
world. Are the American people
ready to take up this burden for the
vain glory OF owning great colonial
possessions? That question confronts
us now, and the capture of Aguinaldo
has not removed it.

pany. You must call him on
Heistand replied that he would do so
at once.
Mr. Allen said that he next heard
from Hawkes. when the latter came to
him and said he wanted settlement Of
his claim. He told Hawkes. he had moth
ing whatever to do with the concern, and
after a brief conversation Hawkes. had
expressed the same opinion, but asserted
that Heistand had told him that the wit
ness was in it.
He again saw General Corbin, who
said that Hawkes. had been to him also
with the same claim. General Corbin
had told him he had nothing to do with
the concern.
Lieutenant Colonel Heistand was then
called and cross-examined by Mr.
Hawkes..

Senator Proctor rebuked Major
Hawkes., and said no such language was
permissible.
Nothing Of interest was developed by
the cross examination of Colonel Heis-

London, Oct. 5.-Sir Michael Hicks

nies that parliament will meet this
autumn to provide more money for the
prosecution of war in South Africa
Nevertheless at the present rate of ex-
penditure the deficit for the fiscal year

expected to meet the deficit realized at
94A f56. 100000, leaving net deficit
which must be provided for by fresh ap-
preparations of G13,00O,00O.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach doubtless
considers that prompt action by parlia-
ment in January will take care of the
deficit.

home. The institution will be in charge
of Miss Utley and one assiA.ant, while
