Why He Did Not Walk

There Is branch railway in the north
OF England whose service OF trains is
not remarkable for high speed. The
other day a rather peppery individual
had occasion to use this line, and
though his train was covering uni
form twenty miles an hour he was far
from satisfied with the rate Of progress
and he said so to a guard when the
train stopped at one Of the somewhat
numerous stations. That dignitary re-
piled to the remark in a would-be face
tious manner:
why guv'nor. If we're not going
quick enough for ye, get out and walk. F"
Tart as vinegar was the reply: Il
would. only my friends don't expect me
till this train gets in."-Glasgow Herald.

Make Proposition Impossible

He proposed the 'indemnity-Sakha-
lin" combination, but not in the form
it was presented by Baron Komura at
Wednesdays meeting. Instead of set
ting the price Q,2O0,OOO,0 900 yen-the es-
timated cost of the war; he suggested
that if an agreement could not be
reached, the fixing of the price should
be left to board or commission. The
Japanese insisted on inserting the sum,
and thus made it impossible, in view
of the Russian declaration not to ac-
cept it.
Emperor Nicholas refused to go far
ther in addition to the concessions al
ready made, than to agree to the ces-
sion of half of Sakhalin. According to
a high Russian authority who has
been in a position to see President
Roosevelts communication proposing a
compromise, it quite clearly showed
that the president considered that
Japanese victories gave her the right
to ask for an indemnity in fact If not in
name, and was also entitled to Sakha-
lin, and that her military occupation
of Sakhalin gave her the right to the
island.
The presidents friends, however,
claim that when the full text of his
proposition is before the world all
criticism must cease.

RooseveIt's Appeal in Vain

But Japan, insisting upon tribute, be-
cause Russia refused prolongs the car
mage. In that act they contend Japan
would change the purchase and char
acter of the war, which would cease
TO be any longer one of principle but
degenerate into war for the exaction
OF money.
There Is no doubt that the Japanese
are worried over this aspect of the
situation and they do not propose to
be placed in this position If it can be
helped.
With the sentiment existing in Japan
demanding reimbursement for the eX-
penses of the war, a money payment
beyond what would be obtained for
the maintenance of Russian prisoners
and the Chinese Eastern railroad could
not be foregone But if redemption by
Russia could be placed upon purely a
commercial basis Russia might agree
to it.
Logic points in this direction for the
ultimate compromise if there is to be
one.
Whether the president has renewed
his efforts cannot be ascertained here.
His former suggestion for a COM
promise failed. He made his appeal
simultaneously to both the czar and
the emperor of Japan.

the boards supposition in the premises.
On the other hand, it must be adj

republican government that the people

publicity is the thing nowadays and

l am friend of the board of control
and firm believer in the efficacy of
the system. But the board was not
created just to see how many dollars
it might save. Buying car of pota-
toes in Omaha for the Fergus Falls
hospital in order to save half a cent
a bushel is not what the people OF the
state consider as fulfilling the par-
pose for which the board was created.
The board may by its methods, buy
fresh beef from the beef trust at
quarter cent pound less than from
legitimate home butchers, but is that
satisfying? Furthermore, by the aid
of the veil Of secrecy, surrounding the
purchasing problem the jobbers are
permitted to sell their goods to the
state at lower prices than they charge
their regular customers, the retail
merchants. Are the retail merchants
of the state of SO little importance to
its progress and development that

there are two sides to this question,
but it appears to me that in the end
the state will not be a cent the loser
through the utmost publicity in the
administration of its affairs.
The passage by the House last
week of the Nolan reciprocal demur-
rage bill was notable victory for
the people against the railroads. So
it appears in theory at any rate. 1
only hope, should the bill become a
law, that it will prove in actual prac-
tlce what its friends and supporters
claim for it. The railroads as a rule
have not been so very stringent in
enforcing their rules respecting de-
murrage charges, but under this pro-
posed law they will certainly enforce
it to the very letter. On the other
hand, the law will enable shippers to
compel the carriers to bring car lots
to their destination with less delay
than has been the case so frequently
in the past The law works both
ways and it is a question as to the
benefit to be derived from it's operation
by consignors and consignees. The
bare fact that the railroads through
their attorneys and other agents,
fought the bill so bitterly at every
stage of the game would seem to argue
that the bill is in the interest of the
people.

own half thoughts in the words:

With the open letter in her hand
she walked through the garden be-
tween rows of hollyhocks, past beds
