PRESIDENT STICKNEY of the Chicago
Great Western Railroad has put his fin
ger upon the seat of the rebate evil
when he said that all transportation
companies were at the mercy of the meat
packers, and that the packers practically
dictated the rates at which the railroads
are obliged to haul the packers pro-
ducts. Undoubtedly the railroads are
largely victims of the rebate evil and
hence it is that most of them are eager
to have the evil extermnated. When a
producing company becomes so powerful
that it can dictate rates to railroad,
the latter must rely upon the power of
the government for protection. Hence
law, and enforcement of law, which will
make the giving and acceptance of re-
bates impossible without criminality, is
quite as much in the interest of the rail-
roads as it is in the interest of the pub
lie. The recent convictions in Chicago
in rebate cases opens the way for final
overthrow of the rebate.

What Burbank Is Doing.

Mr.. Luther Burbank has been talking
to William E. Curtis. Among the almost
fairy matters he is engaged in is the pro
duction of a new strawberry that will
bear fruit the year through. He has al
ready produced a crimson rhubarb
plant that will ripen the whole year, and
says that roses may be made to serve rs
every day in the year. He is trying to
of fruit so that the work of harvesting
need not all be done within few days
or weeks While he is interested in
making fruits grow more slowly, he has
found way to make walnut tree, one
of the slowest growers, big enough for
cabinet work in six years, and says he
can grow trunk that will make log
two feet square and twenty feet long in
twelve years. A man, he says, may set
out an orchard of these trees and have
timber ready for market in six years.
The tree of which he was talking is a
hybrid walnut, of the wild California va
riety and highly cultivated English
variety.
Mr.. Burbank is working on a substi-
tute for the potato. He has taken the
Indian root called camassia, which in it's
wild state tastes like a chestnut. He
has discovered that cultivation improves
it's flavor. 1t contains more nourish-
ment than either the Irish or sweet po-
tato and will yield four times as much as
either with the same amount of labor
and land. This is what he says about
it; and jumps to other things to talk
about, for Burbank is too busy to talk a
great deal.

The order issued by the postal depart
ment some time ago to the effect that
boxes along the rural routes were to be
numbered, and that mail to the jewellers
along the routes could be sent to num-
bered boxes and that the name Of the
farmer or person on the route would not
be necessary has been recinded. The
order was greeted with storm of pro-
tests from the merchants OF the country,
and so strong was the pressure on the
postal department that the order has
been recinded for the present. The
numbering of boxes may be carried on
but mail must be addressed to the in
dividual to insure delivery. 1t is an
nounced that communications have
been sent to the postoffices directing
that the box number address system for
rural delivery patrons be suspended un-
til further notice.

DESPITE the fact that life insurance
business has increased so rapidly the
past five years, 80 cents of every dollar
paid for life insurance was used to sup
port the machinery of insurance, includ-
ing the grafters. The life insurance
companies income last year was almost
as large as the worlds total production
of gold and silver the same year, and was
two thirds as large as the total income
of the United States government. The
amount paid to policy holders exceeded
by many millions the amount paid for
pensions. The surplus of all the ma
tional banks at that time Just about
equaled the surplus of the life insurance
comnanies

Impression of Autumn,

There is something in the coming of
autumn that chills the human heart.
Death of the inanimate is a grevous in
cident. The fall of leaf, the whitening
of a flower. are marked with a certain
feeling of depression by men.
That these creations of nature will rise
again, that life is not extinct in the roots
now capped by whiteded foliage, are
facts that come to us only after mental
effort, and that without meditation fail
to quell heart mutiny against the tuner
al season of all that grows green. Unless
We accept the scheme of creation as of
divine origin. no logic can cheer, no ad
mission that this is but the annual full
filment of one of the rules that govern
the universe avails to dissolve the gloom
of the autumn night
Men cling to life. Be the way smooth
or stony; bright with life's sunshine, or
darkened by sorrows clouds; be exist
ence whatever it may-still self-preser-
walton is the first law. And, loving life
for self it is natural that we grieve at
the extinguishment of life in any form.
But God has been good in His ar
rangement of His creation. The sequence
of events is most pleasant, viewed as a
whole. Without the spice of variety,
the roll of time would find US weary of
the things that always were. All sum-
mer would be as tresome as all winter.
1t is pleasing to think that for every
autumn there is coming spring, for
every winter a summer. The boy who
hammered his finger because it felt so
good when be stopped was. after all, a
philosopher. The pathos of autumn is
compensated thousand times by the
delight of spring.
It is so with all Gods law. When the
spirit rebels at some memorable rule of
the Omnipotent, when natural occur
rences raise instruction in the human
heart, look through the lenses of intel
lect and find in the glass that recon-
pense which a Divine Providence has
prepared for every pang of natures
dealing. And, finding solace, face with
a smile those simple tribulations which,
in the last analysis, you have found to
be plain expressions OF Heavens wisdom.
