1t was also recommended by the com

Inc trash can ordinance, giving to
Barnes & McKeever the right for 20
years to place advertising trash cans

PROSPERITY EVERYWHERE.

The Philadelphia Public Ledger sent
out Inquiries to all parts of the coun-
try in regard to business conditions
and received replies showing that IN
exampled prosperity exists in every
section Of the country. Money is easy
and capital seeks investment, the wage
Garner is better paid. than for some
years, and there are few idle men in
the broad domain of the country.
The Ledger notes q number of facts
evidencing the general prosperity and
remarks that the only dark spots all
over the land are in the central Penn
sylvania bituminous coal regions and
a portion Of the northwestern region,
where the operators have cut the
wages of the miners. Commenting on
the Public Ledger's showing tile
Omaha Bee says:
This showing is highly gratifying
and encouraging and justifes a feeling
of confidence that the American PEG
pie have before them period OF
prosperity which if it shall not prove

period in the past. There is an
abundant supply of capital in the
country and it is not to be allowed to
lie idle. 1t is being invested in indus
trial enterprises, as shown by the fact
that the Interpretations for last month
were the largest in a long time. A

Fortune in Bugs.

Dr.. Harper's young men in the Uni
versity of Chicago have a talent for
discovering a good deal of cheap adver-
Using. One OF them is said to have de-
clared to his class in biology that birds
were of a more highly organized type
than mammals, and that in some in
definite future, 5000, 600 years, We be-
lieve, a perfected bird would take the
place as head of animated nature from
man. Birds are no doubt very beauti-
full creatures. Some of them have ex-
ceIlent taste in music, others have quite
a knack at picking UP bad language,
nearly equal, indeed, to that of the av-
erage male of the genus homo" But
they are terribly handicapped for The
higher functions of civilization, such as
playing baseball and counting money,
by the fact that they are destitute of
hands. Two things have given man the
supremacy, the ability to develop a
language and the possession OF a
thumb able to press against the fingers.
BY this last he is able to grasp the big
stick and the pen, by the first he is
able to transmit experience. Another
thing that gives the earth-walking ami
mails an advantage over the air-navi-
eating animal is size. No flying bird
can be much over 40 pounds in weight,
because the muscular exertion neces-
sary to flying, or at least to rising from
the ground, increases very rapidly with
the weight. Long experience has taught
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1905-04-07

the human race that efficiency is linn
tied to animals weighing more than 100
pounds, and less than one ton. AS
result of the necessity of making a bird
light the avian brain is small, and,
though it may be of fine quality, no
bird has ever developed the higher quail
tiles of reverence and spirituality. It
has often been a matter of wonder that
birds of prey have not developed the in
stinct of associating for the purpose Of
plumber, as wolves do in packs or men
in Wall street. If eagles would form an
army it is easy to see that no animals
could resist them. That they remain
solitary shows that their brains are not
strong enough to develop the associa-
tive predatory sense.
It strikes us-though we make no pre-
tense to the biological knowledge of the
Chicago prOfessors-that the future
peril of the human race is more likely
to be inSectivorOus than avian. We
know the trouble they are having near
Boston with the gypsy moth and the
brown-tailed moth. Now, suppose that
a moth appears that lays a thousand
eggs a week, from which are Matched
caterpillars innumerable-not special
lists like the currant worm, the potato
bug and the cabbage worm, but cater
pillars that eat everything, grass, trees,
wood, clothing and newspapers. sup
pose the moths to have the instinct of
migration and the caterpillars to be
onniverOuS and infinite in number. 1t
is evident that the human race would
perish by starvation. The worms would
go everywhere, and men would disap-
pear in the day of vermifoFnament.
Standard Oil would fall below fall be
low par and the University of Chicago
cease to send out canards.
We present this theory to the en-
tomologfst of the university without
charge. Property expounGed from the
lecturers desk-there is a great deal
more to it than we have set down-it
would prove a great advertisement and
would serve to bring the notoriety men
seem so to desire in these later days

Press-agency stuff sent out from
Washington indicates that a number of
patriots have recently associated them
selves into a league for the promotion
Of the American merchant marine. Even
the euphemistic "subvention" of the
merchant marine commission has not
served to hide the clOven hoOf of ship
subsidy, says the Baltimore News. The
powerful report did not make sufficient
sentiment to warrant congress in ap-
propriating the peoples dollars for the
benefit Of American vessel owners. Pa
triotic citizens, organized into a brand
new league, are going to smooth the
way. The concern is to have a literary
side. A magazine to spread its pro-
paganda is to be established in Wash
angton. Americans are to have impress
cd upon them the shame of permitting
foreigners to carry their commerce,
even though the foreigners can do it
more cheaply than the Americans. We
shall have it pointed out to US that
american ship owners think it an out
rage that S200, 600, 900 or $500, 600, 600
should go into the pockets of foreign
vessel owners annually for carrying
American goods. 1t does not matter at
slI that these subsidized foreigners give
the Americans more than the moneys
worth in the way Of service. There

Asks Standard Oil Attorney to Be
More Explicit.

Columbus, o., April THE Rev. DR..
Washington GLADDEN., moderator of the
general council of the Congregational
churches of the United States, has given
out the following signed reply to the
statement of S. c. T. Dodd, general coun-
sci of the Standard Oil company:
Mr.. DOdd says shat Standard Oil does
not own a share Of stock in any railroad
company and does not control any rail-
road company.
by this statement Mr.. Dodd intends to
convey and does convey to the public the
meaning that the group of men with com
mon interests who have always owned
and controlled the Standard Oil company
and for whom the phrase STANDARD OH is
an accurate and convenient synonym, do
not own any railroad stock or control
any railroad.
rs this statement which Mr. Dodd in
tends to convey d true statement2 viii
Mr.. Dodd specifically state that the group
of men thus described do not own enough
stock practically to control many of our
important railroads.
Until this question is definitely answer
ed other parts of the manifesto may be
