Simpson orchestra concert.

The Simpson College Orchestra gave
a concert in the NJ. n. church last
Monday evening. The orchestra is
composed of twenty pieces, and under
the leadership of Prof. Cotton, has
obtained an excellent reputation over
this part Of the country. They COM
pare very favorably with the Boston
Orchestra, which appeared before an
Audubon audience a short time ago.
The solo work was especially good,
including numbers by Prof. Cotton
with the violin, Mr.. Forrest with the
cornet, Mr.. Smell, vocal, and Mr.
Copeland at the piano. A good house
greeted the musiciansin spite of threat
ening weather. II was liberal with it's
applause, to which the orchestra re-
sponded generously with encores. The
members of the company were enter
tanned at private homes while in town
and produced a good Impression a.
mong our people. They are a good
advertisement for the Simpson Con-
servatory and College.
In connection with mention Of this
entertainment we might say that in
the different entertainments Simpson
college students have given us here
the merit OF the entertainment has
always equalled and mostly exceeded
our expectations. They are building
up great college down there, of
which the conservatory of music is a
worthy part. This department has
sent out many strong graduates. A
recent one is John Lansberry. He
was trained under Prof. Barrows and
is this year in Europe. He recently
entered world wide contest in which
Kiser Wilhelm offered prize and he
was among the four highest inl that
contest, another Indication that Simp-
son instruction is up to the best stand

NOT SATISFACTORY TO EITHER
SIDE.

Governor Mead's railway commits
sion is not satisfactory either to the
wheat growers or to the lumbermen.
Thus the governor by failing to keep
his promises to appoint as members of
the commission men known to be in
thorough sympathy with the spirit ana
purpose of the law mas alienated the
dominant political force on each side
of the mountains and has placed him
self in a dangerous political situation.
AS the members of the commission
may be removed at the will of the gov
ernor, it is possible yet for him to ap-
point a commission that would prove
satisfactory to both the graingrowers
and the lumbermen, who furnished the
votes in the legislature that passed the
commission law.
However, it is likely that the per-
sonnet of the commission will remain
unchanged during Governor Mead's
administration. The railroads now
have control of the commission and
they areN disposed to yield nothing.
Under the administration of Fairchild,
McMillin and Lawrence the commits
sion law will be only sounding brass
and tinkling cymbal." 1t will be of no
benefit to the shippers of the state, but
it will squander 100000 a year to pro-
vide sinecures for the three commits
sioners and their clerks. 1t is now
plain why the commission bill passed
the last legislature with SO little OPP
position from the railroad lobby. No
doubt the railroads had been assured
that the commission as appointed by
Governor Mead would be satisfactory
to Bosses Farrell and GrOsscup.

CAUSE OF POSTAL DEFICIT.

The deficit of s12,O0OOO0 in the pos
tai department for the fiscal year calls
renewed attention to the outrageous
manner in which the government is
held up by the railroads in the matter
the mails, says Bryan's Commoner. 1t
is we'll known that the general public
has to pay unfair prices, but the gen.
eraI shipping public escapes COMPARE
lively easy by the side of the govern
ment. The government pays about
eight times as much, pound for pound,
as the express companies pay on the
same trains, and the government pays
rent for the postal cars while the eX-
press companies pay nothing for the
express cars. But every effort to Sc
cure fair transportation rates for the
mails is effectually blocked. by the
railroads. When it is remembered that
the government pays the railroads up
wards of $35,OOO,OOO a year for trans
porting the mails the public may have
a better idea of why the railroad man
ayers take so much interest in elect
ing congressman and senators, and
securing pliable officials in the various
departments of the "P. o. d.

This is what is the matter with Phil
adelphia today. 1t is what ails New
York today. The relations Of coun-
ellis and public service corporations
have been retroactive. The public SER
vice corporations have corrupted the
councils and the councils have, in the
end, blackmailed the public service
corporations.
What is the remedy for this state of
affairs if it not public ownership? The
American public demands an answer.
While it mas no quarrel with the con-
illusions of Mr. Dalrymple as to the
existence of a machine dangerous to
the success of public ownership, it
maintains that it's problem is not
solved by negation nor by the pres
ent plan of private ownership. The
honor of the American people is in
volved in the solution of this problem.
1t must be solved. Mr.. Dalrymple has
not solved it; nobody expected he
would; but the American people not
only must, but will solve it.

AN INSTANCE OF INITIATION.

The Chicago Tribune reports that the
state railway commission of Illinois
will probe the capitalization of the
Chicago & Alton Railway company. If
the facts are as set forth in that paper,
the probe is needed.
The Chicago & Alton has two organ
izations, a railway company owning
SO miles of the road, and a railroad
company owning S44 miles. They have
been merged by the railway company
acquiring SO per cent of the stock of
the railroad company and guaranteeing
its bonds. This institution with it's less
than 1000 miles of road has a capital
ization of S1O9, 100000 in round figures,
or at the rate of $4,000 mile. This
is in startling contrast with the capt.
talization of the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy of $4,000 a mile, the Mil
waukee system, $4,000 mile and even
the Illinois Central of $1,000 a mile.
1t is pointed out that the Central has
expensive terminals while the Alton
does not enter any large city over it's
own tracks, nor have a depot in any of
them.
The Atoms gross earnings for the
year ending June 80, 1904, were SILL
400 900 and it's operating expenses ST.
1000. After paying the fixed charges
on $67,OOO,OOO of bonds there was left
only 100000 available for dividends
upon the outstanding $41,000,000 of
stock This amounts to only about two
and a quarter per cent. But if the
road were capitalized upon it's actual
cost of somewhere between 100000
and $4,000 mile, the dividends
would be nearly Is per cent. If the road
could double it's present stock dividend
it would still seem small and quite
reasona BILE, but as a matter of fact it
would be doubling not 2.25 per cent but
Is per cent, which is quite another
story The issue has been made against
tremendous overcapitaliZation by the
Shippers association, which will at
tack the validity of three quarters or
the capitalization of the Alton.

MR.. DALRYMPLE'S REPORT.

The Glasgow expert has "trun"
down Chicago. At Philadelphia, Mr.
Dalrymple told the people that he mad
informed Mayor Dunno that municipal
ownership would not do in this country
because of our bursting politics, Which
overflows everything and overwhelms
nearly everything. In his opinion it
touches nothing which it does not de-
stroy. While municipal ownership
ne cannot advise Chicago to adopt the
system when the conditions are so rad
ically different. Our political machine
is unknown in Glasgow. If it were
Mr.. Dalrymple would not favor mu-
nicipal ownership in Glasgow.
1t is case of seeing ourselves as
others see us. We nave long suspect
ed that our city politics was not the
most wholesome atmosphere in the
world, but we have prided ourselves
that it could be reformed from within
But here comes an expert from abroad
and tells us that it is so bad that he
would advise us to keep out of the
street car business, to rent our streets
to private companies on short leases
and to regulate them by law.
This is what we have been doing
We have made some mistakes, OF
course, in making the leases too long
and the conditions too easy, but. or
the whole, the American system has
been just the one he recommends.
We have found, as result, that
where the city did not run the street
cars, the street cars run the city. The
most of the ills of American city gov
ernments have been due to the cor
rupting and baleful influence of pub
lie service corporations. Instead of at
tending to the business of runnins
cars, they have run cars and councils

SHALL WE EDUCATE*
Does it Pay? A Comparison of The
Results.

In his assay OH Burns, Carlyle uses
these words: IAN educated man
stands, as it We're, in the midst of a
houndless arsenal and magazine, filled
with all the weapons and engines
which mans skill has been able to
devise from the earliest time; and he
works, accordingly, with Il strength
borrowed from all past ages. How
different is his state who stands on the
outside of that storehouse, and feels
that it's gates must be stormed, or re-
main forever shut against him: His
means are the commOnest and rudest,
the mere work done is no measure OF
lis strength. A dwarf behind his
engine may remove mountains: but 10
dwarf will IIew them down with a
pickaxe: and, lie must be Titan that
hurls them abroad with his arms"
Here we have expressed by a mas
ter the modern educational creed. And
its truth will be evident in this
century than it was in the last. II any
one will take the trouble to read the
paragraph quoted above and study
what it means, it Will give him a new
idea, perhaps, of what education
means, and | believe it will help to
answer in the right way u question
shall we educate?-Oxford Ledger.

REBUFFED BY A n
n President Tells n Good story Of
His Visit to Virginia

President Roosevelt Is telling q good
story on himself regarding his recent
visit to his A1bemarle county farm,
near Red Hill station. Virginia.
The farm is some distance from the
railway station, and so the head or
the nation, before leaving Washington,
donned an old SLOUGH hat and riding
leggins, preparatory to a long ride on
horseback TO his plantation. He was
gotten up as the typical Virginia TAR
mer and looked the part.
On alighting from the train at isei
Hill, as is his custom. he was shaking
hands with the conductor. engineer
and fireman when he perceived a ome
ly country woman about TO board the
train Rushing up. the President gal
lantly assisted her TO the steps OF the
car, and g%rasping her hand cordially,
gave her his well known executive
shake The country woman fought
him Off vigorously, but the President
would not be denied. As the traiI.
pulled out The indignant and bristling
lady could no longer contain herself.
Drawing herself up, she gave the ma
tons favorite a cutting glance and
said: Young man, | don't know who
you are, and | don't care: but | mus.
say YOU are the freshest somebody I've
ever seer in these parts.
The President was greatly amused,
and is telling the story everywhere. He
says it's the coolest rebuff he ever rc-
ceived in his life. A President is not
without honor save at his own rail
way station.-Richmond Times-D:s-
