rates has seldom been questioned by
others than the railroad men
themselves and their retained advo-
Gates. In later years many railroad
men have become very conservative on
the subject. Many of them have come
to the very sensible conclusion that
the public demand, for the regulation
of railway rates comes not at all from
any desire upon the part of the public
to do, violence to railway interests -
their legitimate, honest interests. In
fact, as the News has pointed out in
theI past, no railroads have been SO
prosperous as those in states where
railway commissions have saved the
roads from losses through their own
rate wars. The careful reader of rail-
way history will not have failed to note
that railway history is but record of
warfare in which those that have not
gone to the wall have suffered from
the irregularity of business. 1t is and
always has been the railroad wrecker,
and not the railroad preserver, who
has been in the front in the fight
against state or national supervision.
The intelligent American public, as
the News has heretofore said, knows
that railroads are necessity, and that
to have them they must be treated
justly. To injure them would be to
injure public interests.
Whatever. criticism the Wisconsin
rate law may be justly entitled to, sug-
gests amendment rather than abroga-
ton, while the personnel or the railway
commission is an assurance of fair and
intelligent treatment.
The question of federal control is GER
tain become leading issue in the next
presidential campaign, and may be the
agency for keeping President Roose-
welt another term in executive chair.

Letting Light into Russia.

The Good Samaritan of days of old
has his prototype in modern times and
in the very midst of the greatest evil
of our day.
The great war between Russia and
japan was one of the blacklist curses of
the generation, yet out of it has sprung
one of the tenderest instances of human
helpfulness known to this prosaic, prac-
tical old world.
At Himeji, in Japan, in the midst of
the war, Japanese officers established
school where Russian reading and writ
ing were taught to the Russion prison
ers of war. The 60 pupils at the start
rapidly increased to 1000. Hundreds
of poor peasants who entered the war
densely ignorant of all save their own
immediate environment will go back
home with the blindfold removed, with
the wide world spread out before them,
and with the voices of the ages whisper
ing to them wisdom.
And this from an enemy!
Where these Russian prisoners, taken
in battle, had little to hope for in the
way of mercy they were accorded a
sublime charity as broad as the human
mind can comprehend and as deep as
the heart can feel.
Tough old human nature, even at its
worst, in war, is not wholly bad, after
all.
We need not go all the way back to
biblical times to find proof that man
was made in Gods image-and occa-
sionally shows it.
1t seems an irony of fate that these
poor Russian peasants had to be driven
6, 900 miles away to Manchuria, COM
PEELED to fight the japanese, be taken
prisoners, and then be taught by their
enemies to read and write their own
language.
It is an extraordinarily expensive way
for Russia to educate her people.
But possibly, had the Russian peas

TIGER HUNTING IN AFRICA.
Predatory Beast Killed by Blow OF
Rifle Butt,

."An exciting adventure with a tiger
occurred at Sabi-, recently" says a
South African paper. "The beast
was seen going from L. Dangers
place, dragging a calf toward dense
bush, which lay close. by. Mr.. Ban
ger could not leave the store until
nearly shutdown and by that time the
tiger had eaten nearly half the calf.
On coming up to him Mr.. Bangor fired
and managed 20 break the animals
eft shoulder, but it was too dark to
follow. Next morning he set out with
a couple of dogs and few boys. AS
scop as the dogs bayed him the tiger
Commenced growing, but he could
not be seen for the dense bush. Ali
If a sudden he dashed out passed Mr..
Bangor and caught one Of the boys,
whose flesh was very badly torn and
had to be sewed up by a doctor. Mr..
Danger, being afraid Of shooting the
boy, ran up to the tiger and broke his
neck with the gun. The animal meas
ured from nose to tail seven feet six
inches"

injustice. eesN * t>ef

ants not been in dense ignorance, there
could have been no war.
Possibly, but for the ignorance of the
peasants, there could be no Russian au-
tocracy to grind its own people and to
menace the peace of the world. 3
Had Japan been moved by desire to
vitality weaken and eventually destroy
the government of the car, no more
direct method could have been employ
ed than that Of teaching the Russian
peasants to read and write. i
Every peasant who returns to his ma
tive district with that spark of educa-

New sparks will be struck; new
torches will be kindled; for education is

The Luster Of Ouals.

Many gems, often without any az
parent cause, suddenly become crack
ed or scanned, the damage being be-
yond repair. Opals, known as the I'm"
luckiest stones, are SO sensitive that
their beauty is frequently destroyed
by their wearer's proximity to an open
fire. The luster of this stone is caus-
ed by the presence of myriads of little
assures which defect the light into
the characteristic prismatic color OF
the gem. The tiniest Of these assures
is likely at any moment to destroy the
stone.

The howl of the stalwarts about Gov
ernor LaFollette's drawing two salaries
is, in the light of common practice, the
rankest of nonsense. 1t has always
been the practice Of senators elect to
draw salary from the start with such
other salaries as may come their way
up to the time of the first meeting of
the senate after their election and
some times long afterward. The point
seems to be, not that LaFollette is
worse than the others, but he has fol-
lowed the common practice.

The troubles of humanity.

There arI troubles of the rich
Fresh for the gossips day by day;
There are the waiting armies which
Are taught to hate and schooled to slay;
There are the rogues in office who
Still shame US by their sinful greed
But still the sky is often blue
And good men still come forth to lead.
The warning and the sin and woe
We make our daily themes, but still
At sunrise we may see the glow
OF promise on the eastern hill!

And often foolishly forget

High over all the others yet.

Making Republics.

No one seems to have quite so strong
an American vision as the president of
the American republic. Or. since we
are about to speak of the TWO Americas
and of present and possible republics
there is no one who seems to have quite
such comprehension of the great unit
ed integral future Of the Americas as
the president of the United States of
America. It is most important that in
this crucial time there should be such
man at the head of American affairs,
both the affairs which are known tech
nically as American" and the affairs
of the Western hemisphere, as the
president with such an intense and sin
gular American spirit. Neither lesser
man, nor a different, would shape. so
directly the large end of American af-
fairs. While President Roosevelt has
demonstrated himself and his country
to be power in world affairs, yet he
would, should opportunity offer itself IN
his limited time, conduct these CONT
mental affairs with wider compre
hension to a more brilliant end. Unless
another equally qualified should appear,
it will be misfortune for North and
South America that Roosevelt should
not be at the helm when the interna-
tional tangle on this Western henri
sphere becomes acute. Fortunately he
is seeing thing prophetically, and he is
influencing things as positively as is
possible at this moment
His reported preference for Central
American republic, which shall include
Colombia and the revolted state of Pan
anna and Costa RIGA, in one large demo-
cratic government, is the result of such
a vision. The status Of the canal can
best be preserved if strong state
serves as a bulwark on either side, to
command both the land and the sea ap-
proaches. There would be the largest
measure Of pacifcation if such repub-
lie could be brought into being, under a
firm continuous government. 1t would
quiet revolutionary Colombia, it would
restore Panama to it's former status,
and it would grant Costa RIGA reason
for development. And it would serve
80 reduce the fever heat in Venezuela
and in Peru. 1t might even be made to
include the latter, but probably never
the former.
And the need OF South America and
the probable future history, is larger,
stronger states. Brazil is somewhat
quiescent, but it possesses sufficient
territory in itself to develop consider
able share of influence in continental af-
fairs. Those two over ambitious repub-
lies toward the south, Argentine and
Chile, turbulent as they are at times,
are promises of stronger development.
The new Central American republic
would serve as balance to these, and
also to Mexico. The presidents vision
looks promising. provided there is more
material there for such construction
than mere territory.
