M ORTANT FACTS
FOR COW OWNERS

The mechanical Cream Separator has
become a vital feature of every home
dairy just as of every butter factory.
Its use means much more and much
better cream and butter, as well a
saving of water, ice, time and room.
The difference in results is not small
but big. Few cows now pay without
separator. Dairying is the most profit
able kind Of farming with one.

Let us anaIyze the foregoing mar velous statements with a judicial mind in our search for justice. Further, in drawing conclusions we must average for a long period of time, because none will deny that all history proves that periods of prosperity follow pc riOds of diversity. One who quotes results from prosperous years and ap- plies them as a guide in his conclu- sions, is an unsafe man to make laws which govern our progress. Alas! too many shallow conclusions are drawn on that basis, then trouble ensues.

''When the honest masses, who can not be expected to have at command full knowledge on these complicated matters, are swept from their moor ings by the enticing promise of re- lieving them from taxes and materially reducing freight charges by throwing these burdens upon the railroads, in view of the foregoing facts, not theo- ries, is it not the duty of our states men to calmly ponder what stupendous results may follow any radical action in this matter
 "No honest man will object to legis- lation fighting wrongs of discrimina- tion in freight rates, unjust rebates, special favoriteism to special ear lines or other clearly defined wrongs. The railroads doubtless will welcome leg islation to kill off the sandbaggers. But alas! the theorist is the only man who has a sure cure for all evils. The the difficulties in bringing about the minimum. Nevertheless, evolution on conservative lines correcting palpable evils, should be welcomed by au Rev olutionary methods are generally ca lamitOus in result.

 When it is a well known fact that our railroad rates, both for freight and passengers. are less than those of Eu- rope. notwithstanding lower prices for labor there, and our systems are far superior in general comforts, every American citizen should feel a just pride. When the foregoing tables clearly show small profits to the stock holders in a risky enterprise, a con stantly decreasing freight and passen- ger rate-except when prices of labor and material are higher in certain notwithstanding the cry to the contrary. When all fair minded men must admit that capital will not ven ture if harrassed by constant political interference and without promise of fair rewards for the risk involved. When the terrible object lesson of 54 per cent of the railroads sold under foreclosure in 21 years is matter of history. W hen material reduction of rates will bring bankruptcy to the weaker roads, and only the strong survive, thus bringing in its train gen eraI distress. When we consider that the railroads do not run factories, but must get their income from the peo- pie for services rendered to the people. with which to pay labor. taxes, fixed charges and reasonable return to the owners. When we consider that only those who make money employ labor and thus multiply prosperity, and that certain bankruptcy and general adver- sity follow any losing business, how careful should our statesmen be that no act of theirs should be enacted into law!

Notwithstanding the vast improve ments to roadbeds, millions of dollars paid for raising and lowering tracks in cities, rolling stock, depOts, shops, great terminals, etc, the stock and bonds have changed but little. We must not forget that the mileage, usu- ally referred to as being 206,S76 in the United States in 1903, is single track mileage for all roads. It does not in clude about 78.O00 miles of second, third and fourth tracks, side tracks, yard tracks and terminal tracks.

Arizona republican., 1905-10-26

The senators and members of con- gress from Wisconsin have received from Andrew J. Frame, president of the WaukeSha National Bank, a mon ograph on the railroad rate situation entitled May Reason Reign in Rail- road Legislation" The writer is one of the foremost bankers of his state and his addresses at conventions of the American Bankers Association, particularly one on the currency, de- livered two years ago, always attract widespread attention. MT. Frames discussion of the question is as fol- lows:
 MAY REASON REIGN IN RAIL
 ROAD LEGISLATION.
 "FOr fear my motives may be mis- construed, permit me to say right here that I do not now, nor never in my life have owned a dollar of railroad stock; therefore none can charge that personal profit is the melting cause of this article.
 T believe that justice enthroned in the settlement Of cOnsummate prob lens involving such vast interests is of paramount value to capital and la bor alike. When the fate of say one seventh of the total wealth of the United States is awaiting the just verdict of our statesmen; when mate rial injury to that one-seVenth is in jury to the other six-sevenths in our house of cards, how careful should our statesmen be that justice should reign and that the great prosperity of this country should not be shaken to its foundation by a false step. President Roosevelt in his message clearly shows his sense of justice in advocating that unjust discriminating wrongs be right
 l. ing to bring the righteous but sinners to repentance. Wholesale slaughter of vested rights is not justice. I have faith to believe that any pOpulistic, socialistic cry; if it does sway the weak political vessels and demagOgues who harrass our progress, will not sway President Roosevelt from his moCrings, and that congress, which is the final law-giver. will not commit any serious bIunder in the settlement of this all important problem.
 There is a popular notion that the railroads are plundering the people on a wholesale scale and that their prof it's are enormous. What are the facts ? Let us reason together a little. 'POOr's Manual of Railroads, the reports of the interstate commerce commission and the statistical abstract of the United States are non-political and undeniabIe authorities; therefore, l have compiled in condensed form from them such facts as illumine with con vfncing force the subject under dis cussion. Comments will follow these tables.

PARADISE OF THE TURF.

Washington Post.
 No event of the racing season or 1905 is awaited with more general ln- terest than the opening of Belmont Park, the new race course of the West chester Racing Association. which will take place on May f. Much of this in terest is due to the fact that the new track Is the largest enclosed race track in the world, and the course and equip ment it the most complete resort or its kind in existence.
 The park embraces nearly 700 acres of land, much of it containing line nId forest growth that has been con Nerted into a magnificent setting Tor ahe massive buildings for the accom- fnodation of visitors to the race meet tngs to be held there. Over two mil lion dollars have been spent in bring ing about the change, which has been fin progress for nearly three years.
 First in importance to horsemen IS the equipment in the matter Of tracks and in this respect Belmont Park IS without a rival The main track IS standard oval in form, one and one half miles in length. Adjoining 1t in the oval Is the turf track, one and one" huarter miles In length in this oval.

Rose lived till she was g. going to the Jew ish free school. And that, except for an attendance on night classes follow ing a working day of twelve to four teen hours. after she came to America was all the schooling Rose Pastor, poet and successful newspaper writer, ever had.
 She dates the wakenfng of her as- piration from an incident in the ghetto school when she was not quite 8 years old Book prizes were given once to two little girls standing highest in scholarship, and Rose was one of these. Her volume was red backed and had showy gilt designs, on the covers-just a beauty in the eyes of little girls. The second book had only a plain, dull cover. The other little girl shed tears of vexation because. in her eye, Roses book was so much prettier than her own. Seeing this, the teacher pro- posed to Rose to exchange books. Rose wanted the pretty red book very much, too, but she cheerfully gave it up to another. It was a foreshadowing of what Rose Pastor was to do and to be in coming years.
 The plain book was Lambs "Tales From Shakespeare" and for the next four years it was the joy and comfort of Rose Pastors life. Her family was too poor to buy any other books for her, but that sufficeo. It was all in all

All the possessor or good postal card album had to do when the riots occurred was to turn 10 RUS via. and there he had before him splen- = didly depicted views of the very spots referred to.
 "A fairly complete collection of cards provides at least a half dozen, ana sometimes as many as hundred pho. tographs of all the principal clues ol the world.
 "One firm in the United States manu- factures 25,O00 varieties or lIlustrateu cards. Yet the fad is in its infancy here Europe is flooded with them put Germany is headquarters. In fact' the idea originated in Germany -

 'There are now said to be over a DIT lion of illustrated postal cards sold Tn Germany every year. That country makes probably nine-tenths Of all the cards turned out.

THE BODY OF POCAHONTAS.


 A Protest Against the Effort to Disturb
 the Indian Girls Remains. Cincinnati Enquirer.
 There is no valid objection to the promoters of the Jamestown Exposi- tion using every legitimate means or advertising that comes their way; but the proposition to bring the body of Pocahontas from Gravesend, England, where 1t has been so long in eternal sleep, and give 1t burial and a monu- ment in Virginia, raises the gorge of common sense. There would be no sentiment in the performance. It would be a mere vulgar advertisement. Probably no responsible person has any such proceeding in mind, and there Is additional security in the probability that the remains would be protected in their present grave by good, old, hard headed English obstinacy. There was such a person as Pocahontas, but near ly all the stories about her are mythi- cal John Smith got away without her assistance, and he has long pos terity not one of whom is under the slightest obligation to celebrate the Indian maiden. The gravedigger in Hamlet" said the houses he made lasted till doomsday. After grave gets to be one or two hundred years old 1t should not be disturbed, except under uncommon provocation. Even after all the pains taken by Ambas- sador Porter, there is room for doubt if the body of John Paul Jones has been really identified Let Pocahontas "sleep on." There are thousands of living people who need and deserve greater attention.
