down in Georgia the boldest fraud of

A man appeared there by the name
of Davenport. He was said to be one
of the most convincing speakers that
ever addressed an American audience.
He argued against railroad rate leg
islation by the government and plead
that nothing should be done to injure
the profits of the railways of the coun-

Mr. Davenport's specious argument
was vigorously refuted.
1t is notable fact that the failure
of the manufacturers to take the right
side of this question is thus commented
upon by the Atlanta Journal, the Lead
ing democratic newspaper of the
south:
The manufacturers overlooked an
excellent opportunity to put themselves
on record concerning the most impor-
tant issue now before the public. If
they had endorsed the presidents pol
icy, instead of de-stepping the issue,
the action would have had it's effect
upon congress, since the Manufacture
ers' Association is one of the. strongest
organizations eNtant. On the other
hand, it is we'll that the cony ention did
not yield to the pressure and persua-
sion of the favored interests which
sought to have it go on record as d.
rectly opposed to the presidents
course, since that would undoubtedly
have had it's ultimate effect upon leg .
islation as we'll.
1.-The failure to act proves that the
manufacturing interests of the coun-
try-and we presume that the whole
country was represented in the recent
convention-are not as one on this
proposition The representatives of
certain interests which have in the past
enjoyed special favors and concessions
from the railroads are undoubtedly
inimical to the policy of federal regu-
lation, but the manufacturers who do
not, have every reason to endorse it.
1.-The manufacturers in general
should favor federal regulation for the
same reason that every one else should
favor it. Federal regulation, or the
lack of it, means the difference be-
tween a stable and natural economic
DEVELOPMENT and a condition of affairs
in which the industries of the entire
country are at the mercy of a few in
dividuals."
1t was Ex-Governor Larrabee. of our
own state, who showed in his st. Louis
address that the annual railroad
freight tax upon the people of this
country amounts to $23.S1 per capita
for every man, woman and child, while
the whole tax for the support of the
federal government amounts only TO
1856 per capita; that, after paying ali
operating expenses, the net earnings
or profits of the railroads were 1874
millions, while the gross income of the
United States government was 40 mill
ions less. 1t was Cummins who show
ed to the senate rate committee that
the railroads are now earning per
cent dividends on a valuation of $780,
600 per mile, while the railroads them
selves argue before the Iowa executive
council that their property can not
possibly be worth more than S42,ooo
per mile. These are conditions thai
are going to figure in politics and 1t
should be suggestive to republican
leaders that the democratic press is
standing by Roosevelt's position in de-
Tense of the people.

a COUNTRY soY GONE WRONG.

A few days ago q young man living
In a nearby town forged check for Il
considerable sum, presented it att the
home bank, and received the cash. He
was arrested few hours later and is
now in an inebriare asylum, the par
ents having made good the loss in
CURED by the bank. The affair, of
4 course, created great deal of discus
sion in the community. Some said the
blame rested on the father because he
had not brought the boy up properly;
others contended that Satan had held
mortgage on the unfortunate lad
from the beginning, altho the fact was
not suspected. until quite recently. A
few attributed the act to insanity,
The frequency with which cases
somewhat similar to this are brought
to the notice of newspaper readers has
inclined many to the belief that in a
comparison with moral conditions ex-
listing in city OF country the small
town makes sorry showing. little
Investigation, however, into a few of
these cases generally brings to light
the fact that the population of the
town has little or nothing to do with
the matter, except, that such events
are always given a prominence not
accorded them w,aen they occur in the
larger towns
The principal in the case above not
ed was the son Of retired farmer who
moved to town When the boy was about
seventeen years of age. There was
nothing for the lad to do in the new
home and for two years he found en-
ployment on a farm, working steadily
and saving his earnings, but, becoming
dissatisfied with that mode of life, he
decided to remain for season in town
with his parents. Cigarets, idle COM
panions and lack of employment pro-
duced the inevitable result and the
state will undertake the task Of re-
pairing, to some extent, badly dam
aged body and mind.
I'm the descendant Of line of
thieves you may. expect a thief" is the
way a Marshalltown pastor voiced a
popular idea, in recent sermon, but
In this boys case, and in the vast ma
jority Of cases wherein boys go wrong,
the old saw of ssatan's capacity to find
mischief for idle hands to do better
expresses what is at the bottom Of the
whole trouble. President Seerley, of
the State Normal School, in his re-
markab1e lecture on manual training.
explains why the boy on the farm us
ually makes al greater man than the
boy from the city, from the fact that
on farm a boy is never idle. From
the time he is eight years old there is
always some useful thing for him to
do. He becomes worker, learns to
do things and is removed from temp
tation. When boys go wrong in village
or city, let the parent reflect upon his
duty and ask himself-was the boy
kept busy, or was he idle and inviting
Satan's assistance?
