RAILROADS.
OWNERSHIP BY GOVT
Railway Age Reviews Question of
State Ownership in Europe
and Elsewhere.
Lessons, It Says, Do Not Encourage
Adoption of Plan in This
Country.

The Railway Age is beginning a series
of articles on Government Ownership OF
Railways" by Fl. R. Meyer. The articles
are the result of an eXha study for
years and embody an authoritative and
valuable discussion of the question. The
Age says, by way of introduction
1.-The state ownership of the railways
presents two distinct probems-the ad
justment of the railway rates and the
management of the railways. The nature
OF the first of these problems is illustrated
In dramatic manner by the experience OF
Germany, Austria Hungary and Russia;
the nature of the second problem Is re-
vealed in no less striking manner in the
experience of Australasia, a democratic
English-speaking community, with very
high level of general intelligence and a
body Of politicians who, whatever their
shortcomings, are absolutely an-handed.
1t is the purpose Of this series of articles
to set forth in summary manner. and yet
by means of recital of facts, the expe-
rience of the two groups OF countries, Eu-
rope and Australasia.
"Europe's lesson for the United States
Is, that any thorogoing and effective eff
fort to regulate railway rates will arrest

and will demoralize the politics Of the
country. All these things the state own

and would do in the United States by
bringing into politics one Of the most per-
picking of modern problems-the problem
of the relative reasonableness of the rates
made by the railways leading from rival
producing and distributing centers to
common markets and to rival markets.

measures taken to abolish secret personal

home to the American people, because the
constitution of the United States and the
supreme court Of the United States thus
far have prevented the several state legis-
latures, the several state railroad commits
sions and the federal interstate commerce
commission from pushing the course upon
which time and again, they have sought
to enter the course which would have
paralyzed our railways, our trade and our
industry, as it has paralyzed the railways,
the trade and the industry of Europe. -

DRAMA UNDER THE SKY
Place for ''As You Like It. at Har-
riet Is Chosen.

After exploring several acres of the
Lake Harriet landscape, and getting very
close to mother earth, Lester Lonergan
has found spot to his fancy for the pro-
duction of the under-th e-sky LAS You
Like IT, 1t is the very prettiest spot in
Linden Hills.
The performances will begin Monday
evening, July 20, and continue thru the
week, with Saturday and Wednesday
a souvenir event.
Lester Lonergan closed up his stock
company in Kansas City last week to
come on for the rehearsals. These will
begin tomorrow morning.
The exquisite lyrics "Under the Green
wood Tree" and the hunting choruses,
are among the most beautiful contribu-
lions to English poesy. These will be
sung by Addison j. Madeira, with the as
sistance Of quartet. The details are
being managed by Herbert Brenon, while
Mr.. Lonergan will himself rehearse the
production. Mr.. Brenon will play Touch
stone. Alice Treat Hunt, who is pos
sessed of much beauty and winsomeness,
will play Rosalind. She is considered by
Mr. Lonergan to be the finest interpreter
Of that role in America. He makes one
exception, Modjeska in her earlier years:
Others in the company are Louis F. Nor
rison, the jacques and Mark Fenton
No play so lends itself to al fresco rep
resentation as las You Like It" The
trees, the shrubs, the little brook in the
foreground, the natural ampitheater, the
calcium effects which properly illum-
mate the whole, have been subjects for
household conversation and general Won
der in the cities where Mr.. Lonergan' s
spectacular production has been put on.

was recovered at st. Paul Saturday after
noon, and the following note was found
in the clothing:
II have drowned myself on purpose in
the Mississippi river. My home Is at GIL

An inquiry directed to the above address
reveals that the man boarded there six
months ago, but that he left ostensibly

have been uncommunicative and no one

"Dogs have their captains and COM
manders in the chase and they follow
their leaders in way that shamcs the
practices of men ut times, said the
man who Is fond of the hunt Really,
| have often thought that man could
profit great deal by going to the dog
for examples of virtuous conduct, and
I'm still inclined to believe that his
civic virtues would be strengthened
somewhat by closer observation of
the good there is in the dog. Going
10 the dogs Is used In reproach. Liv-
ing as some men live Is infinitely
worse. Some men have all the dogs
faults without showing any of the
dogs virtues. But | WAS thinking OF
the captains and commanders in the
chase Dogs pay each other fine cour-
tesy il they are good dogs and well
trained The dog who would run
ahead Of the dog who is the accepted
and acknowledged leader of the pack
or who would show him the discour-
tesy of crossing the line of pursuit
ahead of him would be dsgraced,
damned and Stunned by its fellows.
The leader is to be followed. Dogs be-
hind hi.i may be tleeter of foot. But
he is the leader and that settles it.
And, my, how sensitive some of these
old dog leaders are. How jealous they
are of their rights! l have seen them
quit the chase because some green
member of the pack crowded in ahead
&c them. They would simply quit the
trail, get In behind their master, and
that would be the end of their frolick
ing that day. Dogs are great fellows

In red tiled two story house on the
road between Newcastle and HeXham,
England was born George Stephenson,
the inventor of the first practical loco
motive, on June Q, 1871. He earned his
first regular money-a shilling week
for looking after cows, and he was
eighteen before he learned to read. The
modelling of engines In clay was his
favorite occupation as boy, and when
he grew UP toward manhood he had
charge of engines and displayed his in
ventive genius in their improvement.
At last, in 1873 he produced his first
locomotive, which he called travelling
engine Lord Ravensworth was called
fool for advancing money for the con
struetion OF a locomotive. \ few years,
however, proved that Lord Ravens
worth was not so foolish as people sup
posed, for in 1928 the Stockton and Oar
lington line was opened for traffic.

The path traversed by a heavy cur
rent of electricity in passing through
the body is matter of great impor-
lance. The most dangerous Is from
one hand to the other, because the re
sistance of the path is low and because
the current passes near the heart
Hence it is good rule in handling live
conductors to use but one hand. An
important rule TO observe in rescuing a
person in contact with live wire and
when 1t is impossible to cut off the cur
rent is TO push the victim off with one
foot Even should the current pass
from one foot to the other through the
rescuer the resistance of the path Is
considerable, and as the current does
not pass near the heart serious injury
is not likely to result

When they reached the drawing
room however, and the vulgar awful

stiffened again.
But the red faced lady swept forward

bright, her gray hair flying about her
ears.

possessed the gentle one of gratitude,
and without apparent hesitation Miss
Anne responded:
