THE INTERuRBAN LINE.

Writing from Ferguson, Iowa, to
the Marshalltown Times Republican
G. e. Wilson,a practical farmer, says:
"One Of the very interesting subjects
that occupy the attention of those liv-
ing on farms and in small towns in
this part of the state, is that Of the
electric railway. The recent rapid
development of the rural mail service
and rural telephone system seems to
have created universal confidence
in the success of other like ventures,
and almost without exception the peo-
pie express themselves favorable to
the interurban.
'The idea appeals especially to
those living in or near towns not fay-
ored with first-class steam railway IA
cilities. One often hears questions
like these asked: will electric lines
seek short, direct paths between ter
minals, or will they, like mail routes,
traverse only the more populous
places? TO what extent will they
be utilized by the mail service?' Are
they to parallel the public Tlighways?'
Occasionally liveryman is asking
What effect will they have on my
business?'
1T is said that when a farmer liv-
ing along the line running from Col
fax to Des Moines finds himself out
of tobacco while working in the field,
he bitches his team to a tree, halls
a passing car, makes the desired pur-
chase and returns to his work by the
time his horses are rested
"Colfax merchants telephone orders
to Des Moines for goods to be sent on
the next car, receiving them within
two or three hours of the time the or
der is given"

TWO NOTABLE CONVENTIONS

Two interesting historic gatherings
are on the program for the near fu-
ture. One of these will be the rally.
ing of Fremont voters which Is to
take place at Jackson, Mich, this
month. This gathering OF founders
Of the republican party fifty years ago
is a part of the semi-centennial cele-
bration to be held under the oaks"
at the Michigan city in July. 1t is re-
markable, at this late day, that some
5000 of these Fremont voters have
been found in Michigan alone. When
they meet in convention they will
adopt resolutions similar to those
which made the nation ring half a
century ago, when slavery and seces.
sion were threatening the land.
Another historic gathering will be
that of surviving members of that
famous Bloomington convention, held
on May 20, 1856, which marked the
birth Of the republican party in I'LL.
nois. OF the one thousand delegates
to that historic assemblage less than
ten are living, and those SO widely
scattered that it is difficult to estab.
lish their whereabouts. Despite
these obstacles, however, movement
is now well under way to provide for
a reunion of those veterans Of 1856
at Chicago during the republican ma
tional convention. Because of the
stirring memories their presence
would evoke and the desire signally
to honor them for their services to
the party. Republican leaders hope
to bid them welcome to the delibera.
tons of the party they helped to or,
ganize.

OUR RAILROADS.

Mr.. Neville Priestly, of the British
Indian Railway Department, in his re-
cent report wherein he discusses our
American railroads, says the average
daily pay Of the unskilIed workman
here in the United States is nearly
equal to the average monthly pay of
the, Indian laborer, while our freight
rates are much lower here than in
any other country in the world, India
not excepted. And on top of all this
our free traders tell us that our Amer.
lean railroads have to pay $2S a ton
for steel rails, while the steel trust
sells to India for SIG. 1t would look
as If the railroad magnaJes were be-
tween two-yes, three-fires: high
prices for rails, highest wages on
earth and lowest freight rates. And
yet the year 1903 was the best in the
history of American railroading, and
less roads of less number Of miles ana
with less amount of stocks and bonds
were sold under foreclosure than any
previous year. How can this result
be attained? Simply because of the
magnitude of our internal commerce,
made possible by the great purchas.
ing power of our well employed, high
ly paid wage earners, added to the
well rewarded labors of our agricul.
ture. Destroy our home market and
our railroads would have to very ma
terially reduce wages, raise freight
and passenger rates or go out of bust
ness.
