\ UNITED STATES SENATOR'S
VIEW.

Government ownership Of transport
tation systems, as a remedy for the
evils Of private ownership, was dis
cussed in the United States senate
the other day, while the management
Of the Panama railroad, the property
Of the United States. was under con-
sideration. Some senators argued that
it should be retained merely as an
adjunct to the work of the canal.
Senator Patterson, Of Colorado, took
issue with this, saying:
Under the franchise by which the
road was constructed, it must be kept
open for public use, both passengers
and freight must be transported over
it as any other railway is required to
transport them. am pleased that
the government has possession Of this
railroad. 1t will enable the govern
ment, if it will, to demonstrate to
some degree what the evil or good is
In the management Of railroads by the
government"
Referring to the pronounced and
growing public sentiment in favor Of
public ownership, Senator Patterson
said:
Public sentiment in favor of gov
eminent ownership is a necessary
outgrowth of the evils attendant upon
private railway ownership and the
manner in which private ownership
has been exercised"
The senator asserted that remedies
for these evils lay in charging the
powers Of the interstate commerce
commission, the prevention of rebates
and determinations, and the estab-
lishment of court that will give
force and effect to the mandates Of
the rate-fixing body. He expressed
some doubt that the proposed t'reme-
dies" would prove such, by reverting
to government ownership, which, he
said, had been magnified into bug
aboo' and called socialism.
1T is not any more socialism," he
United States, or the transportation
Of mails by the government Of the
United States, or the transportation
Of packages, or the delivery Of them
to the owners by the government.
Il do not believe that a great ques-
ton like government ownership Of
railroads is to be put down by an cpl
tibet, or by the misapplication Of a
name, or the misunderstanding of a
term"
In conclusion, Senator Patterson
struck one more blow for liberty" by
saying:
Il am glad that the United States
owns the Panama canal under such
circumstances that it must be a COM
mon carrier; and the government can,
if it will, make it a. tremendous factor
as great factor as power to fix
rates conferred on anybody can be-
In holding the great transcontinental
lines within the limits of justice in
their dealings with the people and
the commerce that emanates from
them.''

Twice within two weeks the United
States supreme court has upheld the
validity of sweeping state antitrust
laws: The Texas law is pronounced
constitutional, following a similar judg-
ment as to the Kansas antitrust law.
Presumably the court has not been in
fluenced In the slightest degree by the
popular clamor against the trusts, but
it's judgments will nevertheless serve
to make the present uprising against
monopolistic tendencies in industry all
the more impressive.

Frank j. Mather, IN the November

II parallel 81 deg e.'s, in the dog

Cling canvas, and particularly at the
main topgallant sail, wnlcn threat

nautical etiquette forbids the officer
in charge to alter canvas when the

the old sea dogs among the crew
begged the petty officers to send
them up to take in sail, while it was
held safe to do so. AS the helmsman
turned his wheel, every turn OF q
spoke would make the ship jump in

A GOOD LESSON.
from the Philadelphia Record:

from the In1ladelph1a Record:
A lesson in advertising signs was learn
ed last summer by West Phila-
delphia man engaged in the grocery bust
| ness. although, according to his own adj
mission, he thought he knew a good deal
about such signs before. AS he tells the
story, he was SO struck on visit to
seashore town of some size, with the
! chance of doing some business there
! that he opened small place and put his
son in charge. He shipped down lot
Of odds and ends he had lying around
IN the way Of grocery and turned the
new shop into sort of general store"
Among the goods sent down were a
gross OF half-pint bottles filled with a
fluid that was good for removing stains,
which he had acquired some time pre-
viously for a mere song but found him.
self unable to get rid Of at any price.
The son removed the fly specks and
other signs of age from the bottles, pol
ished them up and put them In the WIN
dow under sign:
KLEANEMUP.
REMOVES INKSTAINS FROM
EVERYTHING.
The father went down to the shore
about once a week and those bottles
the full number Of them-were always
The first things he saw. The son re-
ported that nobody even inquired the
price of the stuff. Then along came a
tramp sign painter, who was making a
tour Of the coast resorts and earning his
way as he went. He asked the store
keeper for a job.
Nothing DOING said the father, who
happened to be down at the time, ''un-
less, indeed, you could paint me sign
that would sell that stuff" indicating
the "Kleanemup."
The wandering knight Of the brush
looked the bottles over and studied the
sign. "Huh!' he said, nobody uses ink
at the seashore." Then his gaze wan
derng down the street fell on a drug
store. do they have soda water down
there?" he inquired.
Eyes" was the reply, land they sell
barrels Of it,
"Well," said the painter. I'm stuck
here for day or two, anyway. Tell
you what I'll do. I'll paint sign for
that stuff for 81 and If 1t starts to sell
the goods by tomorrow night you pay
me my money"
This was so fair an offer that 1t was
accepted. The painter retired and in
less than half an hour came back with
a sign so neatly done that 1t looked like
printing. It read:
KILLsPOT.
REMOVES CHOCOLATE AND ALL
SODA STAINS FROM EVERY KIND
OF FABRIC.
by noon the next day." says the man
who tells the story, 1--WE had sold % bot
ties of the stuff at 10 cents each, ard
when I met the painter I paid him his

Of the gross went in about three weeks"

From the Springfield Republican,:
The permanent withdrawal of the

accomplished so quietly that North
America as a whole has been scarcely
conscious Of the fact It means. how
ever, that for the first time in centu-
ries the British soldier has left our
continent entirely to its own military
devices and this has a historical sig
nificance which does not escape the
attention of those who have in mind
the part the British soldier has played
in America. II you have the right kind
Of an imagination it cannot fail to
respond to the stimulus of this interest
ing If unconspicuous event. You think
of Braddock and Wolfe and Burgoyne.

her money, and was accessory to for

was in 1887. Her loans finally reached
the sum of s1.7S5 and Lamb held her
note for $1,000. With various tales
about her income from the estate of a
husband who had been killed in a run

Lamb for money that she was Florida

her efforts to secure her release. She
was taken several times before the

members to recommend her parole. FL

Secured over n Million.

In her various operations in the east
and west, Mrs. Chadwick sought and
secured the aid of many prominent
men. lawyers and business men. Her
favorite method of securing loans was
by the giving of bonuses TO the law
yers through whom she would work.
1t is estimated that she secured much
over a million dollars. The name OF
Andrew Carnegie was used many
times, especially in connection with
the loans secured from Oberlin, O..
National bank. She would pledge all
concerned to secrecy, and then reveal
the alleged relationship with Carnegie
and exhibit the three famous notes
purported to be signed by Andre Car
negie and his wife. When these notes
were taken to Mr. Carnegie he pro-
nounced the signatures forgeries, and
denied any relationship whatever with
the woman.
