An Illustrative Instance of How

ina Short Time.

'Few persons have any idea of how

said the captain of one of the dock
departments steam launches, accord
ing to the New York Times. Not
very long ago a raft of 40 or so piles
broke up and went adrift one night
at the foot of East Twenty-fourth
street. As these piles cost all the
way from eight dollars to $50 apiece,
they were worth chasing, so just as
soon as the loss was discovered in the
morning I started out.

East river and along the Brooklyn

eight or ten Of the missing sticks.

a little way farther on, just beyond

about half of the Maynard piles.

RoosRYELT,s MESSAGE.
The President viii Speak Plainly on the
Morgan DeaI-Can Not Own All
the Railroads.

According to a Washington dispatch
President Roosevelt's message will have
a strong chapter on trusts and another
on interstate commerce. Without at
tempting to suggest the power Of legisla-
ton the president calls the attention Of
congress to the danger of the former and
the inadequacy of the interstate com
merce law. The presidents position on
both these questions is in line with the
sentiment of the west and against the
attempt to merge the control of the great
transcontinental railroads.
A close friend of President Roosevelt,
who discussed this question with Morgan
pointed out to him that he was taking
the greatest step that had ever been
made toward government control of
railroads.
you may be sincere, Mr.. Morgan, said
this gentleman, "and you might succeed
if you were God, but no human agency
except the government of the United
States will ever be allowed to own and
control the railroads of the United States
There are just two alternatives to this
question of transportation-com competition
or government control. When the peo-
pie are convinced or have good grounds
to suspect that railroad competition is
ended, they will insist on government
control. The people will submit to great
injustice from the railroads while there
is competition, but they will not submit
to the slightest injustice from railroads
under one general management. which
destroys competition, but will be ever
suspicious and find injustice in what
may appear to you as absolute justice IN
rates. You are on most dangerous
ground, and if you go forward in this
gigantic scheme you will precipitate the
greatest political question Of the age. and
bring the federal government face to face
with the necessity for government con-
troll"
This statement made to Mr.. Morgan
represents the sentiment Of some Of the
ablest men in the presidents cabinet.

Remarkable Escape.

One Of the greatest curiosities in TIT
neighborhood Of New York is now to
be seen at the foot Of the Palisades
Between two frame houses built there
is a giant bowlder 25 feet high and %
feet wide, which fell from a great
height, at the top of the Palisades, and
sweeping down the front of the cliffs,
uprotted big trees, tore up tons OF
loose stone and cut a wide sBath the
entire distance. Finally, after zig
tagging from one side to the other, II
rolled-in between two frame houses
and stopped there. The people were
asleep in the houses when the rock
started. They had barely time to
make their escape when it made its
appearance at their front doors. They
are now thanking their lucky stars
that the enormous stone did not hit
one OF the buildings.

Morgan are rivals in exploiting Lon

The Reform Club of New York city
has presented a memorial to President
Roosevelt adverse to the ship subsidy
bill. They presented statistics from the
United States shipping commissioners
report to prove that the great naviga-
ton, steamship and railway companies
would be the principal benifciaries.
They also make the point that all the
American shipyards are crowded with
work, and yet are competing with for
eign yards in taking orders. Even the
government contracts for the building
Of naval vessels are from two to three
years behind. These are facts that
cannot be denied and condemn the
scheme in toto.

through the new processes Of treating

precious metal, that its value may be

that bimetalism is the more scientific

and in defense of his honor had to ex-

a scandal that congress should take
cognizance Of and for which it should
make amends as far as possible.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF THANKSGIVING-
Courtesy between individuals calls
for the expression of thanks for even
slight favors bestowed. The one who
gracefully conforms to this custom
acts the part Of the gentleman and the
lady, while the one who neglects to do
this is always considered ill-mannered
and lacking in refinement.
Favors may be due as matter of in
Independence, but even then it is not
in good form to refuse recognition of
the rendering of them, and to treat it
entirely as matter of course. Good
breeding calls for some respect to the
noblesse oblige. No one will dispute
the propriety of this.
Not only is this a law of social com
ity as between individuals, but it is
also law as between all mankind and
a higher Power that rules the destinies
of all men and all nations. Hence we
have the custom of saying grace at
meals and the giving of thanks in re-
Iigious worship. This is courtesy in ex-
is the highest reason, for who will deny
in the last analysis the existence of a
supreme Power?
Men sometimes talk f1ippantly of
Nature" but this is only a makeshift
for lack of argument, the lodging of
the question by a change of term. As
Carlysle says, 80 Nature! Why do I
not call thee God? Art thou not then
the very garment of God?" And this
great English author was once skeptic-
al, but came to his senses at the last.
Will any sane person say, my astute-
ness, my strength, my toll has gotten
me all these things?
There looms up in negation of such
a thought our mutual dependence, our
childhoOd's heIpIessness, and the re-
lance all feel, even if not confessed,
upon a higher Power. "What hast
thou which thou hast not received?
And if thou hast received it, why dost
boast as though thou hadst not re-
ceived it." Man, really, in the absolute,
is veritable inmate of an almshouse
the constant beneficiary of some hu-
man, and one great Almoner.
The custom of national thanksgiv-
ing originated with the Puritans who,
with all their faults, in many very po-
tent ways shaped the destiny of the
nation and left US an example worthy
of imitation. Our thoughts flash
back to the Mayfower, and the first
harvest of the almost starving and
struggling refugees from despotism.
The custom speaks Of the roof tree,
the home, the dear departed ones, and,
Of God. Heartless indeed is the man OF
the woman that finds no emotional re-
Spouse to these appeals. The cradle
of the race, the cradle of our liberties,
the cradle of our infancy, the cot of
thy father, the rock of thy faith, all
bring an appeal that starts in unison
a whole symphony of soul harmonies
and Ginning memories of life's dawn
that prompts the soul to chant in ex-
stacy "Te Deum laudamus."

Chamberlin seems to have a very
peculiar habit. Every time the sec
rotary for the colonies opens his mouth
he puts bis foot in it. Gen. Butler
could not do worse. ChamberIin in
his Edinburgh speech, in which he
sIurred the German army, and later
wrote an explanatory letter which did
not explain, has set all Germany on
fire. All the Tutons have got their
dutch up. As a result of this incident
international complications may arise.

STATE FEDERATION OF LABOR.

The Minnesota Federation of Labor
has issued circular to labor unions
calling attention to the convention of
the Federation which meets in this
city on June 10th and 18th next, and
urges all affiliated unions to send their
full quota of delegates to snch conven-
ton, and so show their interest in the
cause of organized labor. 1t also cor
daily invites all organizations not
affiliating in the past to be represented
in this convention. The circular then
makes strong appeal for the organic
alton of labor all through Minnesota,
and says that the interest exhibited at
the Mankato convention will demon
strate whether or not the Federation
can be made as useful to the wage
earners of the state as it's most earnest
supporters desire.
The circular further announces that
a fare of one and one-third rate has
been secured from st. Paul to Mankato
and return for all delegates. For fur
ther particulars as to rates, etc.,
those interested are requested to i'll
quire of b. w. Gotezinger, secretary
of Federation council, st. Paul; NJ
E. Neary, president, Minneapolis or
w. E. McEwen, secretary treasurer,
