True independence, political or
otherwise, is very rare nowadays.
SO many masquerade behind one
thing or another that it is difficult
TO ascertain just where they stand.
Men Of this character are conscious
dy influenced by a number of petty
considerations, none of which or
even all taken collectively, would
have any Importance or the least
effect were they totally ignored.
1t is undoubtedly true that many
men do things to which at heart
they are opposed. Still more re-
main silent and avoid expression of
opinion, lodging any occasion
which calls for a frank expression,
for fear that their business may be
unfavorably affected. The men
who are admired and esteemed are
those who are frank, fair and
square. 1t is not necessary to be
noisy or offensive in the defence OF
principles; it is enough to be true
to them when occasion demands.

No man is wrong all the time;
even an unwound clock is right
twice every twenty-four hours. !"
The quotation above was found at
the bottom of a column of witt
cisIns, and we were quite favora bly,
impressed with the truth therein.
1t looked like a gold nugget of
thought. But is it? The clock is
right twice a day because it cannot
help itself, and man way be right
occasionally for the same reason.
Some men even pay their honest
debts because they know of no way
to get out of it. Not positively
good but negatively so. This re-
minds us of the company of ten men
who has not stolen a thing nor lost
days work in five years, and they
proved it by the warden of the pen
itentiary where they were engaged.
We like the thought much better
that there is some good in all
men," Good from motives positive.
Not good from necessity but from
choice. We like the man who does
the little kindnesses that are handy
along the journey of life, but we
like him better who goes out into
the highways and byways and does
the kind deeds that he finds need
doing. There is too much of sell
fishness in the world and too little
love for all mankind. There's no
happiness in selfshness but the
liberal helping man and woman is
full of joy and thankfulness. Are
you like the clock, or do you have
positive motives?"

ABOUT RAILROADS.

An effort is being made to con-
Strue the Presidents message as an.
tagonistic to railroads, when the
fact is that there is nothing in the
message capable of such construc-
ton. The same criticism might
apply to what he says concerning
capital and labor, but an unpre-
JUDGED reading will convince the
most skeptical that he is friendly to
both, and desires to encourage the
most friendly and helpful relations.
The interstate commerce commits
sion is the peoples representative.
1t has, in general way, an indirect
supervision over all railway compa-
MES, and attempts to see that justice
1T done to both the people and
corporations.
This commission is not an enemy
to railroads and is not SO regarded.
The railway Companies are common
carriers, enjoying special privileges
and it is well enough for the govern
ment to have a commission with
authority to see that these privileges
are not abused, but it is a mistaken
notion to think that this commits
sion should be clothed with authori-
ty to fix rates.
That was tried on small scale in
iowa 20 years ago with disastrous
results to both the railroads and
the state, but more especially the
The men who manage railroads,
nike the men who are at the head of
all great enterprises, are honest
men. They are more than this, for
they combine with honesty the
highest order of intelligence and
peculiar ability.
They recognize the fact that
every town on the line of road con.
trolled is a customer, as well as
every shipper. 1t is for their in.
terests to serve these customers
WELL and this they attempt to do.
They compete for business the same
as a merchant, and new conditions
are constantly demanding attention.
Conditions which the commission
and general public know nothing
about, and yet which must be met
and dealt with promptly.
There is altogether too much pre-
JUDGE these days against railway
companies. 1t is popular prejudice
because it affords capital for class
of cheap politicians who use it as a
cloak for reform, and it appeals to
the masses because everybody takes
pleasure in damn1ng a railroad.
Then too the railroad is legitimate
plunder. If a farmer loses a cow
by being run over ON the track, she
ds never worth less than $50, and
the man who can beat the company
out of a. fare is never called dis
honest, but simply shrewd.
Conscience seldom figures to any
large extent in dealing with rail-
roads. President Roo evelt is broad
enough to have these things in
mind and the companies have moth
ing to fear from him. He is not
playing to the galleries, or seeking
to stir up prejudice and ignorance
for personal popularity. What he
wants is justice between man and
man with all the privileges that can
be useG without abuse, both for the
individual and corporations.
