Lying slap in the face.
The little ones in the James Egan
home are quite i'll. We learn that it
is not Scarlet Fever, however
The Kerwin children of Doug las
drove down Saturday to watch by the
bedside of their grandpa Mr.. Egan.
The prospective recovery of Grand

Tom Adair has returned from his

velopements have appeared except

PHILosoPHIzING ON CURRENT
QUESTIONS.
We do not have to reflect long
upon the subject of Sociology until
we become deeply impressed with the
vital Importance of the organs of pro-
duction and distribution. The first
has for its function the bringing into
available existence the neceSSaries of
life. The function of the second is to
stifle the existence of legitimate want
by the just distribution of these me-
CeSSaries. That state of social de-
velopment is now at hand which makes
it danger to permit any power other
than that which has the welfare of the
people at heart to gain control of
these vital organs. In sense the
railroads are the blood vessels of the
social body. Along them flow and
from them is absorbed the nutriment
of the social organism. From this
view point there is little danger of
overestimating the Importance of the
rate regulation; nor are we likely to
overland the President and his CO.
workers ia their efforts to wrest the
hands of selfishness and greed and
locate it with body that is in SYM
pathy with the people. Give me alb
solute control of the vital operation
of distribution and 81 am monarch of

would be suicide for any political
faction or locality to oppose my will.
Is not the railway magnate of today
a sort of modern Nero, ignoring the
cry of Justice, domineering legislat-
i've bodies, and secretly numbering
benevolent measures that conflict
with bis selfish ambition? In the name
of Justice, dethrone him. Will the
government stop at limited control?
No. 1t will only pause until time
ripens another opportunity to inter-
vene in behalf of oppressed humanity
Thus will it persist until it either alb
serbs or properly locates the diverse
functions of human societ completes
the "division of labor" and establish
es happy equilibrium.
