The Grand Trunk Pacific.

It is announced from Ottawa that
the Canadian government has made
public the notifications of the Grand
Trunk Pacific bill which will be sub
mitted to parliament. So far as the
brief dispatches give the changes, IT
does not appear that the original
scheme has been materially modified.
The company is to have little more
time in which to complete the. new
transcontinental, and the financial
conditions imposed by the government
are not so harsh as they We're.
With early action by parliament on
the modified plans it is likely that &C
tive construction work on the prairie
section of the road will begin this
summer. This section extends west
from Winnipeg approximately thous-
and miles. 1t will be located between
the Canadian Pacific and Canadian
Northern railways and will open up
large area of excellent farming lands
This is getting transcontinental rail-
ways pretty near together, but there
was hardly any other course for the
new road to take, for the Canadian
Northern gets about as far north as Il
is feasible to go at the present time
| Moreover, while the new road vii
eventually be a transcontinental line
the western portion Of it Is more i'm
| portant at present as a local road thar
as a trunk line.

without success. But this Chicago banker
is slightly in error in the choice OF terms
employed to describe his Americans. They
are not sane; the man who wrote the
letter from which the extract was taken
is not sane. The publication Of his name
would be sufficient notice to the depositors
in his bank to look well to the soundness
of an institution presided over by man
who gives such evidence as this OF men-
tai unsoundness. If he isn't mentally
unbalanced, why does he write such
idiotic nonsense?

In this connection it is interesting
to observe that Governor Vardaman

innate prejudice or from political mo-

and contempt in his state, is now do

The Railroad Commissioners.

There is danger that the republicans
of Minnesota will be so engrossed with
the contest for governor that they will
fail to pay proper attention to the
other places on the ticket. One of the
hottest fights in the history of the
state will be waged for the next four
months with the governorship as it's
prize, and other places on the ticket as
mere pawns. Control of the party
machinery will go to the element
which wins in the fight for governor
and In playing for such high stakes
funds will be lavishly spent. Candi-
dates for other offices will be consid-
cred as trading stock.
The people of the state have de-
cided interest in the occupants of
other Offices at the capitol, and it is
time they were paying some attention
to the so-called minor nominations.
The railroad and warehouse commits
son has a amore direct bearing on the
welfare of business men and the great
army of producers than the governor
ship. Two Of the three commission
ers come UP for reelection this year,
and there is no doubt that certain rail-
road interests of the state will take
just as much interest in those nomina-
lions as in the governorship.
Ira B. Mills and Joseph G. Miller,
the two commissioners whose terms
expire, are both candidates again.
There Is strong public sentiment in
favor Of retiring both Of them. The
official course of the commission in
the past three years has not been salts
factory to the public, and the popular
demand is for a change. While the
railroad corporations are understood
to be we'll satisfied with the commits
sion as it stands, they would not OBJ
ject to a change If it brought two
more commissioners of the same type
1t is all very we'll to demand a
change, but what sort of change
There is a field of seven or eight new
candidates in the race already. Dc

These are questions the republican

Who was William Penn? William Penn

question and answer is embodied about all
the average person in these days knows Of
the man whom Augustus C. Buell, in his
William Penn, credits with the crude but
greatest code in popular government that
has fallen from the pen Of mortal man."
the pioneer of all codes that now express,
under various conditions and in diverse
forms. the essential doctrine Of self gov
eminent of the people, by the people, and
for the people" The man Of whom SO
good an authority as Mr.. Buell. can say
such things as the above would seem to be
worthy Of closer study than Americans
for the most part have given him, and Mr..
Buell. gives the opportunity in his admir-
able book.
1t was only a short time before this code
was produced by Penn, that he had been
going about preaching Quaker doctrines
and writing Quaker tracts Suddenly he
began to see that man had temporal in
terests as we'll as spiritual, and not long
after he drafted his great code for West
Jersey in the new world.
That was beginning. King Charles II.
was always hard up and had borrowed ex-
tensively from PENIS father, who rose to
be vice admiral in the British navy. At
the death of the elder Penn the king owed
him Gl600O. This debt was inherited by
William Penn, who after his work in West
Jersey, went to the king with a request
that he pay his debt by a land grant in
the new world. Pennsylvania was the ulti-
mate result.
The man who In that early day had a
hand in such a vast enterprise, establish
ing one of the most magnificent private
estates ever owned by man, was Of deep
ly religious nature. Tho the author of this
biography declares his intention to con
fine himself to PENIS secular affairs, he
tells us that Penn 'had experienced wher
alone in his chamber an inward com.
fort; and he thought there was an exter,
nal glory in the room, which gave rise t
religious emotions; and during which h.

for Feb. II says: DE, SeaYer, the physi-
cal director Of the Yale gymnasium, is
quoted as saying that he has observed
that high stand men at Yale do not smoke,
and that the smokers of the college are
of mediocre attachments or low standing.
He thinks that either the use of tobacco
reduces mental activity in Yale students,
or else that the inclination to use tobacco
betolens the kind of mind that will be
graded low in intellectual tests. He finds
by inquiry that the attraction of tobacco
for Yale students is mainly social.
We suppose smoking at best is tax laid
on the body for the ostensible benefit OF
the mental faculties. 1t is safe enough tc
say, at least, that the body should not
be subjected to such a tax while it is still
