fell five stories to the street below. In
his fall he overturned baby carriage,
struck head first and was killed. The in

BACK TO THE EARN.

In admonishing a brace of juvenile
them to police correction, to go back to
the farm, Judge Berka has sounded a
timely warning. The trend of the TWEEN
tieth century is from the farm to the city
and the dangers that beset the path Of
the boys and girls who come alone to the
cities from the farm can scarcely be ex-
aggerated. Like the moth that is at
tracted to the candle, the boys and girls
on the farm are attracted by the allure
ments of municipal life and many are
drawn into the whirlpool of vice and
crime from which they can rarely extri-
cate themselves.
In many instances the farmers and
the farmers wives could prevent the
ruin that awaits their sons and daugh-
ters who venture to seek their fortunes
in the large cities. Instead of infusing
a love of the simple life and pride in
their calling, they stimulate their crav-
ing for the glamor and glitter of mu-
nicipal life, emitting its shadows and its
dark features. Many farmers who have
become landlords sublet their farms to
the tenants and move to the towns to give
their boys and girls an opportunity for
higher culture and more cheerful envi-
ronments, with all that is implied in city
life. They delude themselves with the
idea that the city alone affords their
boys the opportunity to grow rich and
the girls to marry rich, but the police
court records show that large percent
age of the boys and girls who come to
the city must either go back to the farm
to be cured of their infatuation or finally
land in juvenile reformatories and in
some cases in prison.

SWIFT RAILWAY TRAVEL.
Rivalry on Eastern Liues Induces
some Fast RunninR.
81 Lonla Glohe. Democrat.

st. Louis Globe Democrat,
When, in 1893. the New York Central and
the Pennsylvania railways put on twenty
hour trains between New York and Chi
| cago the country marveled. The immediate
Incentive for these fast trains was the
Worlds fair in the Lake city, but the
! trains remained long after the fair closed.
Time was cut down from two to five hours,
and for a while each Of the roads said Il
made some money by the increased speed.
But eventually the cost OF the higher
speed impelled each road to discontinue
these trains.
The New York Central has now cut it's
New Nork-Chicago time by the Twentieth
Century limited to nineteen hours. and the
pennsylvania announces an eighteen-hour
schedule between the two points. To
show that this speed can be made safely
over the latter road It has just made the
distance from the mouth Of the Hudson to
the head OF Lake Michigan in seventeen
hours in an experimental run. BY cut
offs the Pennsylvania has recently short
ened its line between New York and Chi
cago to go miles. The speed which the
nineteen-hour run OF the New York Cen
trail represents is much higher for that dis
tance than is anything attained in Europe,
though there are trains running out from
London and Paris for few hundred miles
which go faster for the shorter course
The Pennsylvania speed is still quicker
How the older rairoaders would have
wondered could they have foreseen these
flyers of 1906! They would have been
surprise even to the men of 1870 or 1880.
Part of the increased speed between
terminals, of course, is attained by
Strengthening the line and reducing the
grades. Curves are being abolished wher-
ever possible, rivers are being bridged,
mountains are being tunneled, all for the
purpose OF quickening and cheapening the
transit between important points Nor is
the end in sight. The railway speed war
which has been started between the two
big trunk lines from New York to Chicago
is likely to further shorten the time, un-
less railway wreck should take place
which would render any increased rate of
speed perilous.

Philadelphia Record.


The Western Paper trust is now between
Two hres. The federal authorities are pro-
ceeding against it for violating the anti.
trust law, and the state attorney general
is considering the revocation of it's char
ter. In the hearing thus far the officials
or the company have evaded the most
serious questions put to them by pretending
that they did not know or had forgotten
the matters asked about. But when they
get into court these officials will have to
Improve their memories or subject them
selves to proceedings for contempt of court
or something worse. The government has
the agreement between the General Paper
company and the paper mills under which
the former became the sole buyer of the
products of the latter, and this alone would
justify the state in taking away the char
ter 1t granted without awaiting proceed
ings in the federal court

As TO TARIFF RETALIATION


The question as to what position the
administration will take in regard to
tariff retaliation appears to be receiving
more or less consideration in quarters
where the subject is of paramount inter-
est. According to some reports from
Washington it appears to be the impress
sion there that the president will recon-
mend to congress the enactment of a
tariff law with maximum and minimum
schedules, so that the government may
be enabled TO retallate upon countries
which make tariff determinations
against American products, as Is pro-
posed TO be done by Germany, for ex-
ample
There has been no authoritative state
ment in regard to the position of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in this matter but it has
been assumed that the views expressed
by Secretary Shaw, favorable to a policy
of tariff retaliation reflect the attitude
OF the administration. This may be so.
for certainly IT is reasonable TO think
that the secretary of the treasury would
not make public Gtterance on a matter
of such far-reachine Importance unless
he knew the position of the chief execu-
tive. II would therefore seem safe to
say that the president is not unfavorable

One of Carrie Nations most tempestuous
disciples has been Myra NJ. Henry, whose
field of operations recently was Arkansas
City. After one of her sallies into saloon

modated her to the amount OF 800 for con-
tempt of court. Thereupon Myra's courage
gave way and she tearfully apologzed.
His honor remitted the fine.
