lal Report of Interstate S commerce commission
Statistics of railways). 1908, page 40, line 4.
You will perceive that the general off,
GERS, the class which includes the salaried
managers and higher officials does not
cut anything like the figure in the total
that the public is generally led to be-
lieve. F~- - H.
There is another interesting feature
about this item which is commonlyGover
looked, The proportion of the pay Of
general officers to the total compensa-
ton of all railway employees has been
constantly decreasing since 1897. In that
year it was 2.64 per cent; in 1899, 24S per
cent; in 1901, 2.15 per cent and in 1902,
1893. The reason for this is chiefly due
to the fact that there are fewer IMAM
ayers and higher officials"
I trust that h e J GU IN a does not
infer that because have shown that la
Dor receives a larger percentage of the
gross earnings Of the railroads here than
in Europe, I would have it otherwise.
The American railway employee,
whether his compensation takes the form
of salary or wages, is better worthy Of
his hire than any other railway employee
on earth. I was only interested in show
ing that labor, contrary to the general
impression, is the first and largest benef1-
ciary of gross receipts Of American rail-
ways. And notwithstanding the millions
annually expended to reduce the cost of
transporting passengers and freight with
greater speed and security on a constant
ly descending scale Of rates up to 1900
labor continued to absorb an increasing
share of the gross earnings.
In the language of Neville Priestley in
his report to the government of India:
| ''They (American railways) have man
aged to do what no other country In the
| world has done, and that is, carry thei,
goods traffic prodtably at extraordinary
| low rates notwithstanding the fact thai
| they pay more for their labor than any
other country "s-s... 4. ~ .@..= @-.. D.
This is one of the reasons why I think

PROGRESS OF SCIENCE TOWARD
FAIRY LAND.-One would hardly re-
gard ancient fairy tales as an introduce
ton to the book of modern science. Yet
that is what Hamilton Wright Mabie, in
an Introduction to a little book called
Fairy Tales Every Child Should Know,
edited by himself, says fairy tales are
veritable introduction to the book of
modern science. He adds: 1T is sig
nifcant that the recent progress Of sci
ence is steadily toward what our ances-
tors would have considered fairy land"
It requires no imaginative strain to agree
with this.
The list Of tales contained in this
dainty little volume is too long to give
in full. But one finds in it's pages 'The
Story Of Aladdin" 1.-THE Forty Robbers"
''The Second Voyage of Sinbad the Sail
orr "Tom Thumb "Blue Beard, -
cinderella" Beauty and the Beast
that to mention is to want to read again.

The Beautiful Lady. that tale of gro
tesque advertising in Paris cafe, In
which an advertisement for a notorious
theater is exhibited on the shaved head
of a man of fine sensibilities. Driven to
desperation by hunger and the needs OF
brothers children, the man, having APP
piled to the theater for work, accepts the
duty described. AS he puts it: II asked
for bread, and they offered me not a role,
but a sandwich.
''The Beautiful Lady, is merely a short
story Of the humiliation of a gentleman,
the fitting of a romantic sentiment
growing therefrom, with the circumven-
ton of a fortune hunters plot. Yet II
is done with an effect that persists In
the mind, like that of a picture of orig
ina1ity and strength. however slight the

STATE PRESS ON POLITICS

Renville Star Farmer-The people who
voted for Governor Johnson are as much
republicans as they ever were. Give them
a chance at good, clean republican, not
an officeholder, nor an officeseeker, and
see how quickly they will embrace the
opportunity to vote for him for governor.
International Falls Press-United States
Marshal Grimshaw makes an authorita-
tive announcement that Senator Knute
Nelson will seek reelection. This knowl.'
edge will not surprise the people, nor dis
please them. No others need apply while
Senator Nelson is willing to keep the seat.
Waterville Advance-The statement is
made at this time to controvert persistent
rumors, by interested parties, in effect
that Nelson wouldn't be a candidate. The
Nelson sentiment is very strong in this
state and is steadily growing. His record
in the United States senate, his advance
ment in that body to the position he now
occupies and the prospects of advance
ment are such that the people of Mime
sofa cannot afford to make a change IN
our senior senator.
Rochester Post and Record-The fourth
district would make bad exchange by
electing Horton. Mr. Stevens ranks high
in the lower house, has excellent commit
tee assignments, and Is man OF influence.
Furthermore, he knows thing or two
about managing campaign, and Horton
will have no holiday job to displace him.
Preston Tines-It Is fair to presume
that a large majority Of the republicans
who voted against Dunn last fall are re-
publicans still, and to deliberately dis
| franchise those counties which gave a
heavy Johnson vote would simply be an
! invitation to. have them do so second
| time To conciliate and not punish must
be the motto of party leaders Of both fac
lions, and, no matter what our personal
| inclinations may be, we cannot afford tc
wreak vengeance at the expense of party
| harmony Let the representation in the
next republican state convention be based
on the Roosevelt vote, which, when all
is said, is the only accurate test of party
loyalty.
Owatonna Chronicle-The best thing
the men who wanted Dunn can do Is tc
accept the verdict Of over one hundred
thousand republicans, forget the past and
| Join with all other republicans to unite
and rehabilitate the party upon broad
unselfish lines. Until the people are con-
WINGED that the republican party's nomina-
lions are made upon basis of broad
! and sound citizenship, instead of to satisfy
private ambitions and greeds, the party
will not regain it's prestige. The people
will never be so convinced while factions
wrangle and try to club each other.

THE UNEASY CHAIR

"A PROBLEM FOR THE RICH PAT
.RONS OF SClENCE.-Why will men
spend millions in north pole expedi-
lions, in deep sea dredging for new fish,
In biological inquiries to show proto
plasmic source Of life, and in astronomic
observations that lead only to specula-
ton about planetary life, in short any
thing to throw light on mans origin, but
not cent to ascertain with any scien-
t1f1c assurance word about mans des-
tiny?" This question is implied in a
statement in the preface to James III.
Hyslop's Science and Future Life.
The answer to Professor Hyslop, it
seems to us, is not far to seek. In the
first place science is in reality seeking to
know something about the destiny Of
man in searching for his origin; only it is
like starting from Minneapolis to Chi
cago by way of Seattle, Japan, the Suez
canal and New York. In the next place
scientists are fearful of fakes. They
would rather not investigate what has
come to be regarded as a superstition
than run the risk of being taken in
Yet there is the very best evidence that
scientists are turning about and going
after the destiny Of man by a more di-
rect way than back thru aeons to the
primordial germ A part of such evil
dence is such a. book as Professor
Hyslop's-a sane, sensible appeal to
thoughtful men to investigate the super
stitions," so-called, Of the past and the
present, and what are now acknowledged
to be mysterious powers of the mind, in
the hope either Of finding something that
will lead to solution of life's greatest
problem or else of forever dispelling de-
fusion that has existed far too long if it
is purely delusion Another evidence
Of the turning about is the fact that such
men as Sir Oliver Lodge, Professor Will
liam James, Professor S. P. Langley, Sir
William Crookes, Professor Nicholas
like rank in the scientific and philosoph-
ical world are investigating.
Professor IIyslop's new volume ad-
vances no theory as to the future life,
and makes no argument for or against
clear and clever presentation Of the re-
suits of the work of the Society for
Psychical Research, during its years of
activity, in the direction of this great
question Of the future life. This society
has never assumed to declare that there
is or is not a future life. Its object has
been to examine and weigh credible evil
dence bearing upon that great problem,
and it has not considered the evidence
Of faith nor the evidence inherent in
mans life and nature. It has sought to
formulate that class Of evidence which
would be admitted in court of justice.
It has chiefly concerned itself with what
is now known as telepathy and with al
legged communications between people in
this world and the spirits of the dead.

WHEN SAW MILLS GO
La Crosse Man Tells How River Towns
May Continue Prosperous.

M. B. Olsen of La Crosse thinks his
CITY has solved the question of how the
river towns can maintain their pros
perity after the lumber business dies
out. He is today visiting in Mime
apolis. He said:
nous and continued effort to secure the
establishment within their respective
limits of new industries, factories and
concerns which give promise of good
growth and employment of many hands:
"This has been the policy followed
bv La Crosse, and I think the city
already shows it's good results. Twelve
years ago there were sixteen sawmills
at La Crosse Today there is but one
left. Most Of the mills shut down at
the same time and for while the town
was seriously hurt. Then the business
men got together and did everything
possible to get new industries to take
the place of the departed lumber. mills:
AS a result, La Crosse is today full OF
large and small factories. all growing,
all prosperous, and all giving promise
of the future success of La Crosse. Real
estate is having a healthy advance all
over the city, and all business houses
are doing a nice business.

MIR. Dalrymple's Report.

The Glasgow expert has ttruno
down Chicago. At Philadelphia Mr..
Dalrymple told the people that he had
informed Mayor Dunno that municipal
ownership would not do in this coun-
try, because Of our bursting politics,
which overfows everything and over
whelms nearly everything. In his opin-
ion it touches nothing which it does
not destroy. While municipal owner
ship might mean great deal for Glas-
gov, he cannot advise Chicago to adopt
the system when the conditions are so
radically different. Our political ma
chine is unknown in Glasgow. If it
were, Mr.. Dalrymple would not favor
municipal ownership for Glasgow.
It is q case Of seeing ourselves as
other see us. We have long suspected
that our city politics was not the most
wholesome atmosphere in the world, but
we have prided ourselves that it could
be reformed from within. But here
comes an expert from abroad and tells
us that it is so bad that he would ad.
wise US to keep out Of the streetcar
business, to rent our streets to private
companies on short leases and to regu.
late them by law.
This is what we have been doing.
We have made some mistakes, of
course, in making the leases too long
and the conditions too easy, but, on
the WHOLE the American system has
been just the one he recommends.
We have found, as result, that
where the city did not run the street.
cars, the streetcars run the city. The
most of the ills Of American city gov.
ernments have been due to the corrupt.
ing and baleful influence of public-ser
vice corporations. Instead Of attend
ing to their business Of running cars
they have run cars and councils. This
is what is the matter with Philadel
phia today. It is what ails New York
today. 1t is what has at different times
allied Minneapolis, tho happily not SC
much today as in the past. The rela:
lions Of councils and public-service cor
porations have been retroactive. The
public-service corporations have cor
rupted the councils and the councils
have, in the end, ,blackmailed the pub
lic-service corporations.
What is the remedy for this state Of
affairs if it is not in public ownership
The American public demands an an
swer. While it has no quarrel. with
the conclusions Of Mr.. Dalrymple as tt
| the existence of a machine dangerous
to the success of public ownership, i
maintains that it's problem is not solved
by negation nor by the present plal
Of private ownership. The honor O.
the American people is involved il, tn,
solution of this problem. It must b.
solved. Mr.. Dalrymple has not solve,
it; nobody expected he would; but tn
American people not only must bu

The Future New Yorker,

New York is proceeding rapidly
with the abolition Of the home. More
millions are being spent for hotels than
ever before. This is somewhat re-
markable in view Of the development
Of subways which are supposed to give
the people greater opportunities for
living out beyond the hurry and rush
of the city. The new subway plans
under consideration will involve an ex-
penditure Of $l5o,o00,OOO. At the
same time over $lO,O0O,OOO will be
spent in che erection of hotels during
the coming year in New York.
The fact seems to be that the New
Yorker is welded to hotel life. 1t
brings him nearer the goal Of his ex-
istence, work, amusement, ease and
separation from personal worry. BY
paying for it he can get the hotel to do
everything for him except feeding
him and putting him to sleep. Up to
date he has to lay himself on his bed
and go to sleep by himself. He has
to rise and breakfast, and while he
could get man to poke the food into
his mouth he must digest it by the old
fashioned process. But some one will
yet invent process by which life may
be made soft for the New Yorker. It
may come In the form of a bath which
will be loaded with food extracts
These he will take in thru the pores,
and when he is done bathing he is
done eating. He is equipped for a
whole days work or a whole day .

LITTLE BOYS, HELPLESS,
SEE COMPANION DROWN

Frank Eller, IA, son of Patrolman
Thomas Eller, was drowned early last
evening while swimming in the Mis-
sissippi river, near Fourteenth avenue
NE. Attic the police worked until
late in the night, dragging the river,
the body was not recovered.
The boy, with his two brothers, left
their home, 222 Tenth avenue NE, to
play ball with their friends. Later
they all decided to go swimming. Frank,
being the best swimmer, went out into
the current. He suddenly began to sink
and altho he called loudly for help, his
companions were all too small to go
to his rescue. A strange boy swan
out toward Eller, but Eller went down
for the last time before he could reach
him.
Nat Eller, brother, ran home and
told his mother that Frank was
drowned. So suddenly was the news
broken to her that she tainted, and is
still Frustrated with the grief.
The police patrol boat was Immediate
ly sent to the place and the river was
dragged for several hours. The current
at that place is SO swift that it is feared
the body was carried far down. The
| search was resumed today.

Flag Day.

Flag day is not legal holiday. It
arose out Of the requests Of the Ameri-
can Flag association for the general dis
play of the national emblem on a GER
tain day. The day chosen was natur-
ally the anniversary Of the adoption of
the flag of the nation by the continent
al congress. This occurred on June IA,
1777. The first American flag was
made by Betsev Ross of Philadelphia
from pencil design submitted to her
by General Washington, who in COM
pany with the committee of the con-
gress called upon her at her upholstery
shop in Arch street, Philadelphia
Philadelphia has thus the honor of be.
ing the home of the liberty bell and
the American flag.
In many states today by proclamation
of governors and mayors the flag viii
be displayed from public buildings
Minnesota will have an especial observ
ance of the day at the capitol, the
event being the removal of the cap
tured battle flags from the old build
ing to the new.
Patriotism in republic clusters
about itself and it's emblems. Will,
monarchies may observe the birthday
of kings and emperors with military
displays, the peaceful mission Of thi
country is signalized by the display O.
the flag on civic and private building
nnaccompanied by booming of cannon
or the marching Of troops in mimi
conflict. The flag stands for freedom
for peace and for equal rights. It ha
had it's triumphs Of war;, but it's tri
umphs of peace are continuing an
Important to mankind.
