GOVERNMENT
The Old Populistie Cry Bobs
Up Again.

There is again beginning to bob
up here and there among a few
papers the old popuiistic cry of gov
eminent ownership.
The New York Journal, always
sensational, with its editor desiring
to be president of the United States,
is constantly advocating government
ownership of this, that and the
other.
The Journal is. now advocating
government ownership of Insurance
Companies.
The argument advanced is that
In urtnce being a public necessity,
the government should W and
control it.
Shoes, to are a necessity, why
should not the government owl
shoe factorie~?
Hats are necessary for the people
therefore, let the government nak'
hats.
Carrying out the idea of govern
mentoWn ,rship0flnsurancp com pap
les, the u KIT sep would be t XII.
/ State ban Ks.
By the way, why not governuaen
ownership ofthe newspapers, as well
as Government ownership of Insur-
ance Companies.
The Argument that some
tries in Europe do thus ami so is no
argument for u. This is presumably
a government of the people, for the
people and by the people, and the
more power you take out of their
hands, and lodge in the general gov
eminent, the farther you drift away
from principles upon which Amer
lean Government is founded.
If a number of men desire to join
together for the purpose of insuring
lives or property, and people see fit
to make contracts with them, it is
a matter that the goyernmentshouid
no more have control of than other
kinds of business.
The cry If too much SUPPLE is a
populistic cry III the extreme.
The Chemical Bank of New York
has only Four Hundred Thousa nd
Dollars stock, but it has a surplus OF
Five Millions of dollars.
The stock holders of the bank
could divide the immense surplus
among themselves, bat for good reas.
ons they think 1t is best to maintain
a large surplus.
Should tue government come il
and say to the stockholders thai
they must divide that surplus?
/ Il has /, e1 only a few years since
: the people Gf the United States wer,
almost to a point OF bankruptcy anc
despair. Farm products below
the cost OF production; at the end o
the year, the farmer found hun
sell in worse plight than he woult
have been had he not planted a seee
or ploughed a furrow; the price 0
farm lands naturally declined rapid
Iy in value, with the result tina
when thousands OF farmers were sole
under the hammer, mortgages being
foreclosed, home after home wen
! for almost nothing.
The result was, that multitude
of former land owners became ten
ants.
However, the people turned thei
backs on the populistic doctrine 0
free silver, ~sub-treasury, and gov
f eminent ownership of Railroads, ant
general prosperity has prevailed
since those populistic times.
s. In the face of all these things, how
ever the sensationalist is again urg
ing government ownership.

Card Collections Now a Fad.

The fad for collecting souvenir post
cards has reached such proportions
that books are now especially prepared
and set aside for preserving these re-
mfnders Of interesting places and
scenes at home and abroad.
The collection acquires distinction if
to the regulation group be added orig
inal sketches on Bristol board in postal
form. Recognizing this, women Of ar
tistic talent have been making pen
and ink sketches of quaint and pictur-
esque spots that have attracted their
attention during summer visits to sea-
shore or inland resorts, and many in
teresting views have thus been OBJ
tanned. Properly stamped, these cards
may be sent through the mails, the
same as the ordinary post card, and
many local women artists have been
sending such souvenirs to their friends.

tressed at having lent ear to so base a
calumny and begged the dear, perse-

to take the matter into consideration

Backed by comfortable income,
Mr.. Flemming continued to be promi-

considers one Of it's own members bet

are outside Of it. He led cOtillons, ar
ranged dinners, managed private theat-
ricals, besides playing polo and hunting

he found time to lead a beggar into an
alley that he might unseen give COM

required to explain away sundry little
matters pertaining to his financial af-
fairs. Finally he made blunder that
broke off the match. He became in
fatuated with typewriting. What he
proposed to do with the requirement
Of an ability to use typewriter no
one knew, but he bought one-on the
installment plan-and as soon as he
could hammer out words with one fin
ger he thought it would be a fine thing
to write a typewriter letter to his
f1ancee. While engaged in the work a
letter from his tailor was handed him
in which the knight Of the shears
threatened him in case Of his not at
once RENTING an Indebtedness incur
red two years before to sue the ac-
count and publish him as dead
beat" Bob was called away from the
typewriter and when he returned, in
tending to place his letter to Miss Grid
ley in an envelope for her, put in by
mistake the letter from his tailor.
The first he knew of his mistake was
receiving a note from his fiancee an
nouncing that she had reconsidered the
matter Of his acceptance, and her re-
ply was "No." Bob went posthaste to
see her. She handed him the tailor's
letter. He was staggered, but only for
q moment.
"That's the most rascally piece of
business ever heard Of" he said.
"But it is not the ingratitude Of this
man, whom I have befriended, that
makes me sad. 1t Is that you should
have listened to as wicked scheme to
injure me-"
'What do you mean?" asked Miss
Gridley.
"Mean! Why, It's as plain as the sun
In heaven. The man has sent this infa-
nous demand to you to stab me-"
"He sent It? I thought you must
have sent 1t by mistake"
do you suppose I would address a

"Do you doubt me? Very well. Be

how unjust you have been. If the ras-
cal don't send you an apology at once

Miss Gridley was deeply moved,
though sufficiently practical to defer

IN A STRANGE COUNTRY.
Where Seemingly Impossible Things
Were Done and Little
Thought Of.

We left Pearson's rancho in Mon
tana about eight miles behind us, when
we came to where man was hang
ing to the limb of tree, and there was
cowboy on horseback not far away,
relates a writer in the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. The stage driver pulled in
his horses when we all had a look,
and then he beckoned to the cowboy
and asked:
"Has there been a lynching here?''
Cant say as there has," was the
reply.
''But a Teller is hanging there to the
limb of a tree"
chats true, and I've been puzzling
over it. 1t seems purity plain that he
was drawed up to that limb. don't it?'
'She do. Yes, sir, it seems plain
that he was draWed up to that limb
and then the free end of the rope made
fast"
"And that's what I'm puzzling
about" said the cowboy.
GAS to how"
GAS to how a critter can pull him
self up, choke himself to death, and
then come down and fasten the rope
and go back up agin. It's the frs
time I ever seen it done, and it's
suthin' new to this country, and after
this l shall go in for all boss thieves
to do likewise. 'Tain't no use in dis
turbing us when they can do the trick
for themselves. Well, so long"
EDO you think the man hung him
self" asked of the driver, when We
were mile away.
81 dunno, my son-I Dunno" he re
piled, with a shake of his head.
"But think of how impossible It is.
"Yes, I think of that, but when 20,
are in kentry where a wolf can Bit
his tail off and stick it on agin, wha
you going to believe or disbelieve?"

HIS ONE VIRTUE
[Originai.1

IOriginal1
Utility Is not the quality best adapt
ed to make one beloved. Many sue
cessful man who has by energy, integ-
rity and steady application acquired
the wherewithal to give him promi-
nence and to benefit his fellow beings
has been cordially hated, while some
scapegrace has been winning hearts.
Bob Flemming belonged to the latter
class. Judged by the standard Of util-
ity, he was failure; by the standard
of morals he was not success; by the
standard Of literal truth he was most
incorrigible liar. Nevertheless he was
universally beloved. He possessed an
open, honest countenance which by
good rights should have belonged to
the aforesaid man who produces re-
suits with which to make people hap
py. His smile was that Of innocence.
His pocketbook was open tooall though
unfortunately at the time he came Of
age the luXuries in which he had been
brought up took wings and flew away,
leaving him little or nothing to give.
When Flemming went home from
college to find that his father had fail
ed in business the young mans cronies
agreed that there was but one hope for
him-a marriage with wealthy girl.
Nevertheless he paid attention only to
such girls as struck his fancy, or, rath-
er, all girls, for all girls pleased him,
rich and poor alike. AS for the girls,
they swarmed about him as flies about
honey.
Several years passed, during which
Bob Flemming sank deeper and deeper
in debt. Nevertheless at the sight of
distress down would go his hand into
bis pocket, and If there was anything
at the bottom the sufferer was sure to
get 1t. But suddenly his friends were
pleased to see that there was every
prospect Of a marriage between him
and Miss Josephine Gridley, young
woman possessed Of $4,000 q year in
her own right. How a person Of as
much principle, sense Of justice and
rigid piety should accept young man
whose only guides were his heart and
his fancy no one could explain. Nor
was 1t to be expected that such male
butterfly should be pleased with
steady going girl. Nevertheless the
two were very much in love with each
other, and though Miss Gridley was
In doubt about the propriety Of the
match she became the promised bride
Of Bob Flemming.
During the engagement the young
mans inventive genius was constantly

there they call it Tagging" A recent
exploit Of certain St. Andrews uni
versity students was to shave the head
Of any unpopular man and cover it

fell upon one who had refused to join
in thew frolics. With great solemnity
he was tried and found guilty of pub
fishing libels against their supreme
highnesses, the king of Siam and the
dey Of Algiers, and for a punishment
was forcibly carried to the Swilcan
burn, stream running through the
famous links, and there ducked.
