and commercial development in this
country at least quarter of century
ana that such has not been the case in
any other country?
Il would like to ask you, in all fair
ness, if you think that such railway
construction, that such expenditure of
millions for the future, would have
been possible under government Own-
ership of railroads? Who would ever
think of a national congress voting 20
spend $100,000,000 or $200,000,000 in
the hope that some time the develop
ment of the country would warrant
such expenditure"
There are many people, it was sug-
gested, ''who insist that government
ownership in other countries has prov
ed n success"
1.-The railroads of other countries
when compared with the roads of this
country are mere tramways. They are
not governed by the completely of con-
ditions which are constantly arising
and which constantly surround trans
portation business of this country.
And so | firmly believe in agitation of
these public questions, because agita-
ton is only a synonym for education"
do you think there is any remedy
for railway consolidation or any way
to prevent it?'
ut can easily be prevented by legis-
lation," said he. IF the government
would legaliZe such combinations of
railways as could naturally be made
with Il view to cheapening transporta-
ton, the necessity for a general con-
solidation would be obviated."
DO you regard the present COM
merce act as amended in the light of
an assistance or otherwise?"
Il am afraid it is not going to prove
much of Il help TO the railroads" he re-
piled, but L do not apprehend dire re-
suits from its administration

The THANKSGIVING Salad.

For refreshing salad on Thanks
giving day, get some small grape fruit
and cut them into halves, scoop out the
pulp without breaking it and scrape
the shells clean; save all the juice by
itself, says Harper's Bazaar. Make a
French dressing with two tablespoon
fuls of oil, half a teaspoonful of vine
gar or lemon juice and Il little salt and
add the grapefruit juice; beat well to-
gether and turn over the fruit. Heap
the shells lightly and serve each one on
a white leaf of lettuce. if that is OBJ
tainable; if not, then merely put them
on individual plates as they are. A
candied or maraschinO cherry can top
each shell or half an English walnut.
and banana cut in even pieces may be
mixed with the fruit. or if one pre-
fers having grape fruit as first course
to the dinner instead of oysters the
salad may be made of large oranges,
preparing them in the same way.

SPELLING BY SOUND

Words just They SOund-Author
Contends New Way Will Make
Learning English Easy.
With the telephone code as basis.
Philip B. Lehman, q former school
teacher OF Lacrosse, Wis, at last has
perfected new form of phonetic spell
ing, on which he has been working for
the last fifteen years, says Lacrosse
special dispatch to the Chicago Trib-
une. He proposes to bring it to the
Andrew Carnegie.
John ]. Esch, representative in con-
gress from the Seventh Wisconsin dis
trict, will present the Lehman form
of spelling TO President Roosevelt when
he goes to Washington. He also will
endeavor to call the attention of con-
gress to it.
In the new form of spelling there are
no silent letters except in homopho-
nous words and the letter ''h." There
are no alphabetical equivalents, except
ing "g' for - and W for 'i,' each at
the end of words, and ''x'' for ks"
and "gs'' and "k' for "c.'
An increase is made in the present
alphabet from twenty-six characters to
forty-three. OF these thirty-eight are
letters and five are combinations. "Th,"
''sh,' "ch," 'wh" and ing" constitute
the oral elements of the new language
when written.
Lehman conceived his idea while
working as an operator on the old
Southern Minnesota road, now branch
of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St
Paul. The author. contends that the
entire English language can be learned
after short course of study under his
system. The mere hearing of word
pronounced will serve to have it writ
ten correctly, as the spoken and writ
ten word are alike. The inventor says
that by his system he can write various
commonly used languages, though he
cannot speak u word of any excepting
English
Lehman brands the Carnegie spell
ing board as Q. detriment to spelling re-
form. Its results. lie says, show abso-
lutely no improvement or general bene-
fits. He believes that Carnegie is
spending thousands foolishly in having
He bases this belief on the fact that 1t

White Lot yesterday Justice defeated Post
Office to 8, while Commerce and Labor
barely defeated Treasury by the score Of 8
to 7.
In the better II not the more interest

Post Office on the west diamond. The Post
Office batters were fortunate to get four
scattered hits off McCathran, while the
Judges had little trouble in hitting Jimmie
Kerr whenever hits were needed to send
runs across the plate.
With the exception of one inning. the
eighth, not a mailman batter got past first
base, and McCathran made the best record
of the year in having only twenty-six bat
tiers face him In eight innings.
Aside from McCathrans box work and
the Judges a1l-around good base ball, Wire
and Brady put up star fielding games, while
Stevenson offered the Mailmen's only fea-
