The greatest battle ever fought in
the history of the world has been
fought during the last two weeks in
Manchuria. 1t is the greatest, whether
we consider the length OF the battle
line, the number of men engaged in
killing each other, or the number to-
tally killed, wounded and taken pris-
oners. The actual fighting has lasted
for nineteen days and is still going on
at this writing.
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1905-03-16

The length of the battle line was
about 100 miles when the battle first
began, though the heavy fighting was
confined to a line not more than 80
miles in length. This far flung battle
line was in the immediate and actual
command of one man on each side, a
thing that would have been impossible
q few years ago. 1t was accomplished
by the electric transmission of intelli-
gence. Oyama could have fought the
battle with just as much certainty had
his headquarters been down on the
seacoast as from where he was few
miles in the rear. Both armies car
ried forward field telegraph and tele-
phone lines along with the troops wher-
ever they moved and the commander in
the rear knew how the battle Jared
with each regiment and division as
we'll as if he had been present with
each division of troops on the firing
line.

The Santa Fe railroad is defying the
interstate commerce commission. 1t
refuses to install the rates ordered by
the commission on oranges from Call
fornia to eastern points and will con-
tinue to take all the traffic will bear.
Ripley, the president Of the road, was
in washington a short time ago and
had long consultation with Paul
Morton.
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1905-03-16

Senator Elkins gives formal notice
that he and his committee will begin
Investigating the railroads April II,
1920 a. M Attention will first be paid
to the constitutional qeustion as 70
whether congress can delegate the
right to fix rates to any other body.
That's a good scheme. It drives
straight toward the government owner
ship of railroads. About the time that
the senate declares that If rates are
fixed at all, it must be by congress and
not by commission, things will break
loose.

To Eliminate Railroad Wrecks.

George Westinghouse seems to have
earned the everlasting gratitude OF
the travelling public with Il new in-
vcntion calculated to do away with
railroad wrecks.
The new invention, which is known
as the Westinghouse draft gear, is
simple in the extreme. 1t is simply a
buffer, which is attached under car
Mt each end. 1t is composed of Il num-
Der OF wedgc.shaped friction strips,
which are inclosed in an iron cylinder.
In case Of collision the buffers on each
end of the car come together instead of
the force Of the collision going TO the
car direct The motion OF the friction
strips will represent Il resistance shock
of 70 tons at each end Of the ear, which
means n total resistance Of $50 tons for
each car.
In the tests when fifty-car train
was divided into three parts and then
crashed into by one Of the three parts
to which II locomotive, running at u
speed OF fOrty-iive miles an hour, was
attached, the entire train came TO Il
complete standstill within cars
length after the collision happened.
In order TO show how little the force
of the collision is felt, brakemen stood
on the tops Of many of the cars in the
three sections OF the train, and retained
their footing without the least diff
Guilty. Mr.. Westinghouse is of the
opinion the device will practically rev.
olutionize railroading.

OZARK PHILOSOPHY.

Self help is the best help.
Happiness is shy Of pursuit.
You can't fight ice with frost.
Kind words smooth many rocky
bit of road,
Unselfshness is the hallmark of
true nobility.
Self.indulgence is the folly Of
weak nature.
II you do not catch fish tho fault may
be with the bait.
The busiest people are often those
who do the least.
Self-forgetfulness is the seed of hui
man brotherhood.
He who boasts of his knowledge only
advertises his ignorance.
The size of the ball counts for but
little without accuracy OF aim.
Hcart-hunger cannot be satisfied by
anything the purse can procure.
He serves best his time and race who
most sheds sunshine from his face.
The man who pays dearest for his
fish is the man who catches it himself.
Though contcntmcnt is rare plant
you are more likely to find it at home
than abroad
You may measure man for clothes,
but neither clothes nor income meas.
urc the man,
Often We have more reason to be
thankful for requests denied than for
wishes gratiiied.
He who is contentcd is invulnerable
against all the "slings and arrows of
outrageous fortune"
Fighting, with guns or without, is
bad business, even for him who gets
the best of the scrimmage.
a sound mind in sound body with
morals to match is q better legacy
than any number OF millions of dollars.
If you have not learned that you
know nothing you have not begun to
learn, no matter how often you have

The Horses Many Friends.

a fair Bostonian, whose constant de-
Tense OF dumb animals has made the
cab horse her friend for life, has Just
returned from London with renewed
admiration for the kindness shown
there to horses of all degrees. She says
il was a pleasure to find how we'll the
cab and omnibus horses were treated
by their drivers; how well they are
groomcd, and that it is the rarest thing
to see cab horse standing without his
nose in a bag. The London street horse
is well fed; his health as we'll guarded
as If he was the high stopper in the
aristocrat's carriage. We all realize
the effect of example, and when this
class Of public servitors receive good
treatment the grades beneath them
reap some benefit. Apparently the les
sons taught by "Black Beauty" have
borne fruit in this age of equine ap-
probation and motor rivalry.--Boston
