THE CANYON OF THE COLORADO.

Behold the realm where Colorado flows!
Here countless centuries have wrought their viii
In forms majestic with impelent skill;
C1thedrals reared their from this repose,
With ponp Of giant pinnacle where CLOVIS

An emperors chalice, carved its way until
The sculptures Of a million years uprose.
And from the imbedded silence Of this stone
Strange hieroglyphic tomb of times decay
The rivers voice forever stronger grown,

Sings to the soul, that makes impatient moan
And speeds it blithely unto the open Day.

They had been engaged for a week.

wonder OF it, yet ler mind chung tena-

"ALL MEN UP.'

Chicago Review
The words used by President Roos-
eyelt at Philadelphia and the spirit
in which they were uttered are cal
culated to contribute to the settle
ment OF the race question. he
praised the South for its earnest ef-
fort to put stop to the lynching
outrages. Ho expressed personal
pride and interest IN the southern
character. He appealed to the North
to consider the gravity OF the prob
lem confronting the South and TO
keep its own skirts clear OF re-
proach. He recognized the fact that
the South herself must be left free
ard given time TO settle the ques
ton. He appealed to the negro to
show by his good conduct and home
ly virtues that he is worthy of good
treatment And while showing thus
the breadth of his views and sympa-
thies, he insisted that the question
could be rightly settled only in the
spirit of "All men up not some
men down" Ia other words, the
president made it known that he did
not believe that the South could set
tie her gravest problem by seeking
to put the negro down, but must do
what she did in determination to
help him to rise. He made it clear
that he did not believe in the social
intermingling of the two races in the
narrow sense Of the term social"
though he disclosed the belief that
the races must work together for the
upbuilding of common interests.

La Toilette on Railroads.

Chicago Tribune:
Under the caption, Fair Railroad
Regulations" Cav. La Toilette of
Wisconsin, United States senator
elect-has written an article for the
Saturday Evening Post Gov. La
the railroads. He might be excused
for dipping his pen In gall when
writing Of them. His contribution
is, however, impersonal and even
tempered His argument for the
right of the state and national gov
erumeuts 10 impose RESTRICT ms upon
railroads is forcibl". Seldom has the
historical and constitutions side at
the controversy been treated so eX
hnustively in equal space.
The governor contends that the
railroads are not private enterprises
The amount Of public land grants
which the roads have been given To
MD in their construction equals IN
~
uoi5, Missouri, Iowa and Wisconsin.
Having been the recipients OF bounu-
less favors from the government, "ev
cry dollar of the money and every
acre Of the land having been the
property of the people" it would
seem indisputable that each citizen,
however humble, ought of right TO
stand upon an equal footing with
every other citizen respecting trans
portatlon.'
In opposing the passage of any bill
TO regulate freight rates the repre-
sentatives of the railroads have de-
clared that any interference in the
delicate matter IF making rates
would imperll their property that
it would mean the ruin of the rail-
road industry
As the governor shows, the same
dlreful results were predicted of the
railroad legislation which took place
during the Granger movement a
generation ago, In the early 70s the
states Of Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin
and Minnesota enacted the famous
Granger laws regulating railway
transportation. The need of some
such regulation at that time has been
frankly confessed by President A. b.
Stickney of the Chicago and Great
Western in his book "The Railway
Problem" Instead of verifying the
prophecies that this legislation
would ruin the railroad business, the
actual increase in the mileage aud
earnings Of the roads in the Granger
states between 70 and 80 was greater
than Ia many other states or in the
country at large. While this result
can hardly be claimed as the effect
of the state regulation of railway
rates, yet it certainly is an unans-
wcrablp argument TO the contention
that such regulation was ruiuous.
The country can make good use of
