farming land in the state Of Minnesota
where there are not as many acres UNI
der cultivation as there were twelve
or fifteen years ago. Some parts Of
our road in Minnesota I go thru at
night because / don't want to see the
absolute neglect and infamous farm
ing.
II don't travel that way in daytime.
I tried everything I could in the way
of teaching by giving them stock, by
helping them in every possible way to
do better farming. There is only one
thing that will in the end teach them
to do better farming-and that is
when the Reaper gathers them in and
somebody else takes their place.

1t is said that if we have the power,
the power must be used to restrain
trade.
They forgot that in order to COM
pete with the merchant marine of
every nation flying a commercial flag
on the high seas we must have power
to carry that trade to the extent we
have carried it. Who else has carried
it? Who else has raised their hand
for it? But they forget the greater
contains the less. The power to ex-
make it great and make it possible to
ship barrel of flour from here to
Hongkonk at 80 cents more than it
costs to send it from here to New
York-that takes some power. The
power to expand trade makes us
criminals, and we are defending law
suits to-day because we are charged
with the power to restrain trade, and
that if you have the power to- carry
power somewhere, no matter how you
exercise it-you are public criminal
against the law of your country.

SUICIDE AMONG GIRLS
JUVENILE COURT RECORDS
SHOW GIRLS MORE PRONE TO
SUICIDE THAN BOYS.

New York, jan 14.-The first an
nual report of the juvenile court in
this city has just been issued One
of the interesting features is the COM
paratively small number of girl Of
tenders. Out of 4,79O children under
IL years convicted by the magistrates,
1880 were boys, while only 43O were
girls. .s.'s
A gainst this showing for the girls
is their tendency to commit suicide at
fancied grievances. Six girls were ar
raigned on this charge. Each as
serted that her parents had failed to
care for her. No boys were brought
to court on this charge.

But there is this in it: I have
always held, as a principle, that
in operating railroad our greatest
prosperity came from the greatest
prosperity of the people living on
the line, and unless we can take
the natural resources of the coun-
: try (and your natural resources
are confined practically to what
is raised on the farm)-unless we
can take the natural resources of
the country to some market where
they can be sold with a profit
to the man who raises them, who
creates them, the time is not far
distant when we will stop Great
ing them.
You can sell out or abandon
your farm. We cannot abandon
our railroad. We, might sell the
shares, but the railroad must be
there; it is under contract to be
operated and it has got to be
operated. Now, it is our most
selfish interest to put the whole
situation where it is within your
reach, within the reach Of the
people living on the line, to de-
velop the local interests, whatever
they may be, with a profit to
themselves, or else our invest
ment is worthless.
