p1rR1JC OWNERSHIP OF RAIL
ROADS.

Walter Williams has the following 70
saw in the Columbia (Mo.) Herald on the
railroad question:
"Tbe conservative who hesitates at
having the government take DECIDED
steps toward regulation OF railways may
we'll ponder what refusal to take such
steps would bring about. There are three
possible results of the present railroad
situation. The railroads may own the
government, the government may own
the railroads or the government may re-
gulate the roads. 1t may be assumed
that the first possibility. while it may be
claimeI by the pessimist as most likely
to occur, will not he satisfactory. 1t may,
therefore, be dismissed from considera-
ton. Only two possible results remain !:
Government ownership or government
control. The timid individual who
sbrinks from struggle for governmental
control will learn that government own.
ership is the only alternative. II he pre-
fers to have the government own and
operate the railways, we'll and good. tie
must not be frightened away from gov
eminent control because it lie too radical
and not realize that it is less radical than
the only alternative remaining.
1.-THE time has gone by, if it ever was,
when public service corporations, created
by the state and dependent upon the
general public or without regard for
public law. The creation of a public
service corporation is that it may serve
the public The public which created 1t
and endowed it with certain privileges
for certain ends has moral and legal
right to put such safeguards and regula-
tons upon the business Of the corpora
ton as will make it best serve the end
for which it was created. u 1t might have
been true in the elder Vanderbilt's day
that the public could be damned, but
it is not true now. In all that relates to
the public interests the public service
corporation, particularly the railroad
which is The largest'and most important,
is a proper subject OF public..control.
"Between government regulation and
government ownership is question OF
policy. Which is better from the stand.
point of the public?. The government
may properly do either. If it can own
and operate postal system which car
ries small packages it can own and
operate an express system which carries
large packages. If it can own and care
for dirt roads and gravel roads and turn.
pixies because the interest of the public
is thus best subserved, itEcan own and
operate steam and electric roads for the
same sound, economic reason. AS to
whether the interest Of the public may
be promoted by ownership better than
by control is a matter for debate. AS to
whether the people, acting in their or
ganized capacity as state or nation, can
either own or control as they prefer is
not a gu astion for debate"

Town Lays the Sidewalks.

For several years past an Indiana
town has been pursuing method In
the construction of sidewalks akin tc
that universally adopted in the paving
Of streets. Instead of directing the
property owner to construct sidewalk
Of certain dimensions and material in
front Of his premises. leaving to the
property owner the burden Of finding
contractor and making terms with him.
the town lays the sidewalks by the day
labor plan and assesses the property
owner a uniform price per foot. The
benefits are uniformity Of construction
and economy.

The Way to Drink Milk.

Milk, which contains all the elements
necessary to life, may become the most
easily digested and also the most in
digestible Of foods. 1t is best when
taken warm, but few persons care for
warm milk. 1t may be taken cool, but
not cold, and should be swallowed
slowly, mouthful at time, in which
case it is easy Of digestion, whereas II
hurriedly swallowed as one drinks
water 1t is almost indigestible. Iced
milk should never be taken into the
stomach.-IAdies' Home Journal.

Glenn Streets Advertise Il Town

Filthy streets and impure water sup
ply was the burden of the report Of
City Engineer C. r. Cooke Of Wheel
ing, w. Va. He said that town could
not be proud of the condition of its
streets, and town cannot keep its
streets clean by doing the work by
spurts, but it must be done systema-
tcally and constantly. If the streets
were in better condition it would be
easier to keep them clean. The town
should have modern street sweeper,
and the paved streets should be con-
stantly washed with hose. Clean
streets are one Of the best advertise
ments q town could have.

TOWN SANITATION.
The Dangers That Exist and Some
Remedies Suggested.

Remedies SugEested.
That much neglected subject, santa
ton, is discussed with full knowl-
edge of the facts by DR.. G. A. Soper in
an address, of which an adequate alb
stract is printed by the Medical News.
Towns with handsome cottages, green
lawns and well kept roads convey an
Impression 50 pleasing that few think
to inquire whether or not the public
health service in them is efficiently
performed.
Usually the members of their health
boards serve without pay, and not in
frequently these bodies contain not
single man with any special training
for such work. The water supply is
not always pure, and 1t is not always
carefully guarded. sewers are often de-
fective or inadequate. hospital accom-
modations are rarely sufficient, and in
a majority of cases the most important
detail of all health work, the registra-
ton of vital statistics. is SO neglected
that nobody really knows whether the
town is healthy or not.
AS remedy for these evils DR.. Soper
advises the health officials first of all
to make up for the lack Of paid en-
ployees by using all the volunteer as
sistance they can get from doctors,
public spirited citizens and local i'm
provement organizations. He declares
the policy Of Indifference or Of hiding
facts to be fatal and commends the
regular publication Of reports showing
exactly what has been done and what
needs doing.
When bad these reports will lead to
action, and when good they will form
an extremely valuable advertisement
for the town, repaying thousandfold.
even from the standpoint Of the real
estate dealer, for the expenditures Of
which they tell the story.

The Whaling Toad.

In the Caribbean islands there is q
toad that whistles. The creature is
common to the mountains, INDUCES in
its musical practice mostly at night,
and woe to the person who tries to
sleep in its vicinity. Nine. Toad perches
on top Of tree fern close to your
window and begins her serenade. She
whistles couple Of hundred stanzas
that smite the eardrum like thunder.
Travellers who have experienced the
'music' Of the whistling toad say that
the only way to obtain wink Of sleep
when once Nine. Toad tunes up is to
put your head under the pillow or stop
up your ears with cotton.

Undoubtedly the protected interests
would have done much better to keep
quiet and give the government the SAME
rates they give to other customers
abroad. But they are so used to the
notion that the government exists for
their benefit and is merely an instru-
ment with which to bleed the Ameri
can people and they are go accustomed
to having the officers of the government
act on that notion, that they overlooked
the ris', hey ran in snatching for the
most hey could get. They make biz
mistsk Ike. The public has received it,

President Roosevelt has appointed a

President Roosevelt has appointed a
committee to investigate and report on
what changes are needed to place the
executive business of the government up
on the most and efficient and economic
basis. 1t other words, President Roose-
welt wants to sever the immense tangle
of red tape that is wound round the
business of the government. Surely the
committee appointed has job before it
in comparison with which the Job of
stable cleaning tackled by Hercules sinks
into insignificance. If the committee
succeeds in It's mission, however, it will
be entitled to the thanks of the people.
Uncle sam is en- tiled to better returns
for his money than he now gets from
the clerks and bureau officials who oc.
cupy elegant suites and offices in the
magnificent buildings in Washington.
The more red tape the president cuts
the better he will please the people who
are footing the bills.

FOOD ADUlTERATION.

From Tom Watson's Magazine.)
The adulteration of food which is car.
ried on to such an alarming extent in
the United States is an important fac.
tor in this poverty or undertaking
question. Even those who are able to
buy sufficient quantity of food have
no assurance that the quality is such as
will properly nourish their bodies.
When you satisfy the cravings of
hunger by putting into the human
stomach watered milk. or cheese which
is part wax, or sugar mixed with plas-
ter of Paris, or chocolate which contains
only suggestion of the rich cacao
beans or any of the adulterated articles
of food for sale especially in the poorer
sections of the city, you not only tax
the system to digest and dispose of a
quantity Of useless and maybe poison
GUS material, but every tissue in the
body is thereby robbed of its proper
nouri5hment.
It Is as much, or more, poverty and
underfeed ing to ill the stomach with
material which does not contain the five
proximate principles, i. O., nourishment.
as not to I'LL it at all. The laws against
substitution and adulteration of human
food and drink oug ht to be more strin.
gent than the laws against horse steal.
ing. Yet, as l am informed, all efforts
at such legislation are invariably met
with the Cry that it will interfere with
the BUSINESS INTERESTS of the coun-
try. Here. as in so many other in
stances, when an attempt is made to
secure common justice and protection
for the lives and property and rights of
the people, we run up against the BUS
JNEsS INTERESTS. The curse of this
country today Is that everything, even
human life, must be sacrificed when
necessary to the BUSINESS INTERESTS.
