The Springfield Republican very pertinently remarks: The country is being told by many newspapers. cOn- gressnen and others that it would be dangerous to lodge in government commission of five or seven men the power to regulate and adjust railroad rates. But if that would be a danger ous power in the hands of seven men moved by no other interest than to establish fair and reasonable dealings between the railroads and the great body of people constituting their pa irons. how much more dangerous must it he when possessed by seven private citizens actuated by selfish interests exclusively:" It is very true there is Il disinclination to run the government by commissions. Congress never took kindly to one appointed to revise the tariff. Next the people fear bureaucracy and any tendency tow ard centraliZation. But still power must be reposed somewhere 10 curb private power organized on the basis of wealth. The railroads have arrived at that stage of progress and aggres. sion when some kind of control must l,c exercised in the interests of thc public.

Products of Ones Own Labor Are
 Considered Private Property-Fish-
 ing, Hunting or the Use of Forests
 For Personal Requirements Not
 For C.ar's Government.
 In the opinion of the Russian people no one has the right to appropriate to himself anything but the product of his own labor, says w. Tcherkesoff in the Chicago News. In peasants house hold the woman has the right to dis pose according to her own wishes of all that she has herself produced. Usu- ally all the products of the fields and the cattle belong to the man, while the products of the garden, the poultry and the various spinning industries belong to the housewife. It Is the same in the case of chance profits. If you go to a peasants house for meal or a drink or a nights lodging and wish to pay something you must always speak to the woman. The man will never take your money.
 I attribute to this popular custom the fact that the Russian code recognizes the division of property between the husband and the wife, and 1t is that which has created for the Russian wo- man an economic and consequently a social position far superior in most re- spects to that enjoyed by woman In western Europe.
 Owing to this idea that private prop erty can only exist In those things which are the product of ones own la Dor the Russian people Obstinately re- fuse to consider fishing. hunting or the use of forests for personal require ments as a crime. The forests and the water are God's," they naively say. and each has the right to make use of them according to his needs" Re cent reports of peasants cutting down ! forests or private estates indicate the strength of this sentiment
 But it Is a theft to cut down wood on the estate of Lord N.," said Yaku- shim. one of the best observers of pop ular life. to some peasants who were openly going in carts to . private es- tate to get fuel.
 What do you say. little fatherT an- swered the peasants. astonished. "If ! some one were to take wood that you had already cut or corn that you had already sown that certainly would be a theft. but any one has right to cut down a tfee that God alone has cared for. To take what a man has produced would be to steal But the forests. the game. the fish are created for all-yes. ! for all-
 Always the people act in accordance with similar ideas of justice. The ma jority of crimes committed by peas ants are against private or state prop erty in forests. For the Russian peas ant there exists only one moral author ity which possesses the right of tempo rarily forbtddins the use of such and sucA . piece of conmce psuperty-it .

his mir, the full assembly of hts con- mune. Sometimes in order to preserve the forests or fish the mir will proclaim a place sacred" (zapovednia) for 50 many years. It knows perfectly we'll that no Russian will touch the least twig in sacred" forest. The zapoved- mia forests are well known in Russia, and 1t is also known how the people respect the decisions of the mir. A whole series of popular proverbs exist which prove to what degree the Rus sians esteem, revere, their mir. The people say, No one goes against the mir;" Even the woods bend before the decision of the mir;" Tt Is glorious thing to die for the mir"
 And the mir makes its decisions re- spected only by it's practice of solidar- ity and equality, while the all powerful government of the czar cannot get the peasants to obey its laws concerning private and state property!
 But there Is nothing astonishing in the fact that the efforts of the govern ment are fruitless. The people have long been accustomed to look upon the administration and the government as It's worst enemies Moscow Is as full of bad government officials as forest Is of branches" says an old proverb. The people have always tried to fly from the central government and It's corrupt ard despotic officials.

Vacation work For Minnesota Doys.
 Senator o. G. Laugen's bill offering a two dollar reward for killing rattle snakes was recently recommended for passage by the Minnesota senate com mittee on agriculture. says the St Paul PioneerPress. The purpose of the bill is to rid the state. especially the south western part, of rattlesnakes. It is argued that the bill at the same time will furnish means of employment for boys during the summer vacations. The advocates of the bill say that rattle snakes are so numerous in the south western part of the state that an aver age boy can make excellent wages hunting them.

successful financially.

sign which hung in his store window:

carried this spirit into everything he
UNDERSTOOD. He was a big man IN the

one time ran on that ticket for mayor
of Topeka. For years he was a lead

in fraternal spirit and practiced it. He
is one of the landmarks of Topeka and
his good natured and open-hearted
generosity will be missed. Many q

discuss but in another and better
