RAILROAD INVESTIGATION.

Washington. March THE Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee will
resume its search for light" on the
railroad rate problem and the neces.
sity for law to regulate rates some
time in April. At least that is the
present understanding. Chairman Ell.
kins and Senator Kean have personal
business matters to attend to that
compel them to ask for few weeks
delay after the special session of the
Senate has completed its work.
The people should be warned that a
plan OF campaign is already organized
by the railroad owners and managers
to mold public opinion to their way OF
thinking-that there is no necessity
Tor remedial rate legislation. This Is
no idle prediction. Newspapers friend.
~ TO or under control of the railroads
are to be supplied with adroitly writ
ten articles to influence the House and
stop the clanor for proper legislation
to enlarge the powers Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission and place
some measure OF control on the traffic
burden imposed by the railroads.
This plan is the second step in the
scheme to prevent any kind of law
getting through Congress. The wide.
spread consideration given the Hearst
bill the Presidents message recon-.
mending legislation and the passage
OF the House bill required desperate
moves by the trusts interested. The
Senate was used to smother the bill
and the scheme now is to divert the
tide OF public opinion to something
other than the railroad question.

THE EASTER CHILD.

One Easter several years ago a lit
tie baby came into the world-a dear
little girl with bright blue eyes and
delicate features. The air was full of
the fragrance Of Easter flowers and the
beautiful sunshine came in through
the window of this bedroom, where the
little child lay on its mothers arm,
shall call her Easter" said Mrs,
Child, "and then her name will be
Easter Child"
Everybody agreed that it would be
beautiful name and SO in few
weeks she was baptized.
AS Easter grew older she developed
Into q lovely little girl. She seemed to
become prettier every day. Her light
yellow hair curled about her shoulders
and her eyes were the color of the sky.
Everybody loved her, for she was SO
kind and good. She never had a
naughty thought, like most children
and she was never known to cry.
II have never seen a frown on her
face" her father would proudly say
when speaking OF his pet. II have
come upon her alone, sitting among
the flowers, and the same sweet smile
has been on her face. Dear little Eas-
ter, she is too good for this world"
Why shouldn't be happy?' Easter
would say when people asked her why
she always seemed SO glad II have

full things. They tell you all about
what is going on in the world and
they educate you although you do not
realize it. You can keep track of all
the greatest people, know all about
the wars, keep up on politics and
know what your friends and acquaint-
ances are doing.
Before there were newspapers, PEG

times before they would hear of new
inventions. Now people know about

soon as one person makes 4 Giscov-

to read the papers. But there are
many things that they should not
read. It is not good for child to
read about murders and robbelies be-
cause. 1t feeds his mind will, honor.
There should be newspaper just
for children. 1t should contain all the
news but written in such a way that
they could all understand it.

ANIMALS.

Animals are queer things. Most Of
them have four legs and they all
growl and wag their tails. Some of
them are wild. They live in the woods
and they eat little boys and girls il
they can catch them. They are always
hungry.
At the circus you can see many
kinds OF animals and they are very
curious like to watch them In their
cages although feel sorry for them,
1t is not right to shut them up when
they want to be roaming about in the
woods.
Elephants are about the biggest an
finals that grow. They have great big
trunks attached in front of them.
They are like express wagons. think
an elephant will be mad il you give
him tobacco. He will fight think
that an elephant is nicer than men in
that respect because they do not like
tobacco.

Dogs are smart. They will do many
tricks. A monkey is smarter still. In

In the afternoon she would go to

But one spring the little girl lost all

grow thinner. Her father took her to

in spite of the anxious care she re-

SPRING FLOWERS.

(Mae Schneider, Davenport)
The lovely spring breezes are blowing,
And April showers are falling.
The spring birds are here,
And to their mates are calling.
There are beautiful little spring
flowers
Growing on the hillside,
There's harebells and spring beauties
and cowslips.
And violets that delight to hide.
Where have you been all winter,
Pray tell me sweet violet.
And you sweet butter-cup and daisy.
Pray, tell me, where have you slept :?
oh, we have slept with our sisters,
A long and pleasant nap.
The April rain has awakened us
With it's soft pit-a-pat.
And now we are going to stay here
All the sweet spring thro,
And, when we are withered and gone
dears.
Summer flowers will welcome you.
