THE LAST PAGE.

II is "womanlike," we know,
Yet when we pick up book
We read but page or so,
Then we take quiet look
AT the last page-at the end
And we fear no wild alarms.
That the subtle plot may send.
IL "he" has "her" in his arms.
Then we start to read again;
Chuckle at the hero's woes,
AT his struggles all in vain;
Laugh because he never knows
That the damsel young and fair,
Who mis- VOWS of love has spurned
Will be meekly waiting there
When the final page is turned.
And the vllain--all his fun
Would be rendered fiat and spoiled;
All his schemes, so well begun,
Would be very tameiy foiled
IL he knew the secret, too
Knew the truth his heart to daunt;
What the heroine would do,
How she'd tell him to "Avaunt"
Often when the hero seems
just about to leave the race
Thinks his hopes are idle dreams.
And the odds too great to face;
Or the heroine, when she
Wanders round. full of despair,
We turn to the end and see
How it winds up happy there.
Fathers rage or mothers scorn;
Scheming, shrewd adventures;
Make the hero, all forlorn,
And it's ticlilish, you'll confess.
But we inwardly advise:
Cheer up! This will soon be past"

THE CANAL AND THE RAILROADS

Railroad men are giving much at
tenton these days 10 the question of
the effect the construction of the
isthmian canal Will have on their
property. The only lines that are in
any danger of suffering from the COM
petition the canal will afford are the
transcontinentals. OF these, the south
ern roads will suffer most because
they are nearer the canal and because
they do not run through SO productive
region as the northern roads.
Writing in the Railway World. Mr..
Emory r. Johnson quotes one rail-
road official as saying that the COM
petition offered by the canal will nee
eccitate reduction in the rates;
such a reduction as may throw the
transcontinental railways into msol-
vency and require scaling down of
capital" 1t is not certain that even
such hard fate for the railroads
would be bad for general interests.
AS a rule. western railroads are cap
italized too high, with the result that
their arrangements are forced to en-
deaVOr TO wiring an excessive income
out Of the business in the hope of
paying not only interest on bonds and
dividends on preferred stock, but also
dividends on common. 1t would be
l,n, ,a;,. to how
their capital scaled down through re-
ceiverships, but in the long run it
would be good for the public.
A traffic manager of another south
erly transcontinental told Mr.. john
son. however, that as result of the
construction of the canal the business
of the country as whole would
be SO greatly stimulated that there
would be plenty of business for both
railroads and canals. and that ulti-
mately the canal would be indispenSa-
BILE. There may be, he thinks. some
temporary suffering by the transconti-
mental roads, but the general result of
the canal will be a benefit TO the ma
ton.
Railroads have driven inefficient
canals out of business, but there is no
record of canals driving railroads out
of business or even of seriously in
juring them. Notwithstanding pres
ent miSgiVingS, it will be found in
the end that the isthnian canal will
be of benefit even to the transcOnti-
mental railways.

AN EVERY DAY STORY.

The superiority of the evening paper
on the Pacific coast in chronicling the
news of the world is demonstrated
every day in the week. For example,
the Statesman which went to press at
4 O'Clock last evening told of the sui
eide of Whitaker Wright, the king of
swindlers. in London at O'Clock in
the afternoon, of the efforts to reach
the entombed miners in the Cheswick
mine, of the wreck of the Denver eX-
press o< the Burlington near ST. Louis
with list of the dead and injured. of
the latest phases, of the negotiations
between Japan and Russia, of the MUIR
der and suicide at Pendleton and all
other important Geographic news that
is found rehashed in the morning
paper
Besides the Statesman had many
dispatches on topics not touched by
the morning papers report. such as the
arrest of Mayor Harrison and Manager
Davis for responsibility for the lro-
quois disaster the mine disaster at
Victor. Colorado, President Roose-
velt's instructions to his cabinet Off
GERS, the miners convention. the con-
dition of Senator Hanna. the cold wave
in the East. the floods in the Ohio val
ley. etc. etc.
In local news also the Statesman
leads and the morning paper follows.
Most of the important events of the
world and of this city occur in the
da ytme and it is only occasionally that
the morning paper is able to be first
in the field with a live piece of news.
Owing to the difference of three
hours in time between the Atlantic
and the Pacific and, of eight hours or
more between European capitals and
this coast. the Statesman gives COM
plete summary of the news of the day
when ii goes to press at 4 o'clock. If
| you would read the news of the day
while it is fresh and not after it is
embalmed to keep it from spelling you
should by all means take the evening

CLUB GIRLS TO PROPOSE.
Active Campaign for Husbands
Started by a New Society
at Dubuque.

DUBUQUE, Iowa, Jan. 27.-The
Leap Year club is the latest womens
organization formed in Dubuque. Each
member is bound under oath to pro-
pose marriage to the youth of her
choice before Jan. l. 1905. The first
girl to announce her engagement is
to be feted by every other member OF
the club and the last girl to secure a
man is pledged to entertain all Of the
other members.
In the case of member who fails &c
secure a lover before the first of the
year. the unlucky girl will not only
be forced to pay for a dinner for hel
more fortunate sisters. but will also
be expelled from the club.
There is a similar scheme of reward
and punishment for the young men OF
the city. The acknowledged lover OF
any member will be welcomed and will
be remembered in all their social
plans. AS each man accepts an offer
of heart and hand he will be BAN
quoted by the members. But for the

PLUGGED $50 GOLD PIECES.

Every time you get hold of a $40
gold piece these days YOU should eX-
anime the edges very carefully and see
if sixteen small holes have been bored
in it and filled up again with brass or
some such base metal, says the Taco
ma Ledger. 1t wont take most peO-
pie long to do this with all the TWEEN
ties they get. but bank clerks and
some others who handle q good many
of them every day are likely to be
losers if not careful. The mutilated
coins are worth 1915 less than $40.
Il is curious that people will take the
trouble to get 1915 worth of gold dust

seem to fancy that they are stealing
only from the government, which is
rich and can stand it, and to take a
kind of satisfaction in their work for
that reason. But they do not take
cent from the government. Uncle
Sam redeems no counterfeit notes or
plugged coins. He spends as much
money as may be necessary every year
to catch counterfeiters and coin mu-
tilators of all sorts. He seizes plug
ged coins and counterfeits of all sorts
wherever found, and the people in
whose hands they are found are the
losers. The counterfeiter robs his
neighbor just as any other thief does.
He takes about twice the risk that
other thieves take, for the government

THAT DREADED MACHINE.

The opponents of a railway commits
sion say that Governor McBride's only
purpose in advocating a commission is
to- build up Il personal political ma
chine. The proposed appointive COM
mission would consist of three MEM
bers, one OF whom would be a demo-
Graf. This would leave two republican
members as material for the cOnstruC-
ton of the much drea ded machine.
That would certainly be a most formid-
able machine to place under the con-
troll of Governor Mcbride in opposition
TO the hundreds of federal appoint
eeS in this state in the hands of the
railroad lobby through its control OF
the two United States senators. To
prevent the governor from using this
immense power in politics a sort of
civil service clause might be tackled on

commissioners from "perniciOuS activ-
ity" in politics. Without some such

4 HORRIBLE EXAMPLE,.

The Union publishes a letter from
Governor Pennypa cker's private secre-
tary stating that Pennsylvania has no
railway commission and that there is
$40 agitation for one. He adds that the
important consideration for shippers
consists in the uniformity of charges
ample facilities and prOmptitude in de-
livery. What shippers do not want are
discriminating. excessive rates and bad
facilities"
But regardless of what they want
Pennsylvania shippers get excessive
discriminating rates and bad facilities
for freight. The testimony given be-
lore the anthracite arbitration COM
mission appointed by President Roose-
Welt proved beyond question that the
railroads in that state grant special
rates To the anthracite coal trust and
force other shippers TO wait for cars
until the trust is served. A system of
rebates is in vogue that brushes any
man who has the temerty to attempt
10 run a mine independently or the
trust.

wears ago when the city council OF
Philadelphia gave away street rail-
way franchise to a corrupt syndicate
in league with Quay's political ma
chine. although John Wanamaker Of
fered to give $3.O0O.O00 in cash for the
same concession. Another example is
the retention in the United States SEN
ate of Matt Quay, who as state treas
urer robbed the state of $350,000 and
thus laid the foundation of his wealth
and of his power as political boss.
In Philadelphia republican MAORI
ties are made to order Quay is able
TO state the night before election with
in ten votes of what his party majority
will be. Tombstones, telegraph and
telephone poles and street signs are
voted there whenever an overwhelming
republican majority is wanted.
In candor it must be stated that the
democratic machine of the city is only
a part of Quay's machine. 1t is given
a small share of the loot in order to
perpetuate a system of colossal graft.
The state of Washington has been
called the Pennsylvania of the West.
and it must be confessed that this new
state has done much to deserve the
opprobrious title by submitting to the
rule of the railway lobby and by SELL
! ing seats in the United States senate
to the highest bidder. 1t remains to
be seen whether or not the state or
Washington is already so lost to all
sense of shame and all regard for de-
cency as to give its sanction this year
| to the betrayal of the peoples cause
! by the last legislature at the dlctatlon
of the king of Temple Flat. The peo-
pie will decide next November whether
| or not they will surrender the control
| of this state absolutely to the railroad
lobby. whether or not all proposed leg
islation must be submitted to George
Stevenson or his successors in. some
back room before it shall be placed on
the Stataute books. The commission
question is only one phase of this vital
issue but it constitutes crucial test
of the moral stamina of this common
wealth.

HARD TO BELIEVE.

The state of New York has struck a
grieVous blow at the economic prin-
ciple of consolidation. 1t has done
that which it ought not to do and,
moreover. could not do-according to
the modern doctrines of industry.
Time and again we have been told that
the trust tendency is one that is as
superior to human law as the process
sion of the seasons.
There was once q trust known as
the candy trust. 1t was arrogant and
powerful. 1t raised the price of candy
25 per cent, denied credit to small
dealers and shut out all new COM
petitors.
One of the trusts victims was Nor
ris Goldenberg. 19S f Broadway. New
York. The trust ruined Goldenberg.
This disaster drove his wife first to in
sanity and then to death. Goldenberg
was angry. He regarded the candy
trust as a murderer. No considera-
| tons of invincble commercial and in
dustrial tendencies deferred this
broken man from making up his mind
! that he would break the trust.
Fortunately, he found support at
the hands of a wealthy candy manu-
facturer who had not gone into the
trust \ special attorney was engaged
