The late DR.. Buardman used to
relate this on himself: 81 preached a
funeral sermon at one time and spoke
no longer THAI was my custom. The
undertaken was a man of nervous
temperament, and as the afternoon
was passing he began to be anxious &c
be on his way to the cemetery. He
finally whispered to one OF my mem.
bers, Does your minister always
preach as long rs that at a funeral?
"'Well,' said the brother, that Is a
good Sermon
"'Yes,' said the undertaken, the
sermon is all right, and l believe i'm
the resurrection, but Pm afraid if he
does not stop pretty soon | will not
get this man buried in time"

Public Ownership.

Public ownership even Of the public
utilities is proposition for politicians
to conjure with. 1t may be made an
issue in elections from the choosing OF
the village council to the election OF
A President of the United States, and
the proposition may carry in many
cities, even as it carried in Chicago,
in all righteousness and possibly
with ultimate good results in the
case of municipalities, states an ex-
change, but the day when the govern.
ment will own and operate the rail-
roads OF the country is far distant,
and it is to be hoped that the time
will never come when the federal gov
eminent must take absolute possession
of the transportation lines.
Every right thinking citizen must
favor the government control OF the
corporations operating what we call
the public utilities. With this right
so clearly established as it is, the
abuses suffered by the public at the
hands of the "robber railroads" should
be speedily corrected. The trouble
has been that the government has not
exercised control over these corpora
tions. If, with the right to control
vested in both state and federal gov
eminent creating a double protection
to the public, both of these powers
fail in their duties, how much greater
would be the failure OF one OF these
powers with operation added to con-
troll. 1t is an easy matter to talk
bout what the government can do,
but this is not the point. 1t is what
it does do. We talk about the rob-
berry OF the railroads, but it is not to
be compared with the robbery OF the
express companies which the govern.
ment has had the right to take over
any time since their organization.
| With the right to control, the gov
eminent still allows itself to be robbed
by the railroads through the postal
service in a manner which no indi-
vidual would tolerate. The govern
ment never has protected its interests
until aroused by public opinion The
land frauds is conspicuous instance
OF this. 1t is not the fault of the pub
lie that it has been defrauded OF its
domain, but the fault Of the govern
ment in failing to protect its inter
ests. There is no reason for believing
that the public will be better pro-
tected in government ownership than
in government control, and the Bryan
idea of government competition with
private ownership by the government
owning and operating transcontinent'
al routes only is pure and simple
| dueuIuity.
Government ownership is an ele.
CANT thing as theory, because it is
assumed that the government i,
honest, when as matter OF fact, it is
not. Men will rob in official position
without conjunction where they
would not in private dealings, because
in robbing the public they rob no one
in particular. 1t is theory, more.
over, which will not work out IN any
country where the great majority il
on the grab.
Government ownership is not 9
political issue. 1t is only an excuse
for an issue which allows of high
pressure oratory with great oppor
tunity for imposition on the unsoph
isticated.

The New Naturalization Laws.

The following, from an exchange,
will be OF interest to many readers,
and especially those who have not yet
become full. fedged citizens OF the
United States:
Aliens who do not become citizens
OF the United States before September
20 cannot be naturalized until ninety
days after that date, and consequently
the rush formerly made upon the
county clerks Office few weeks be-
fore election day each year to natural
ize foreigners so they can vote will be
absent this year. A new naturaliza-
ton act establishing bureau OF i'm
migration and naturalization in the
department OF commerce and labor
will 60 into effect September 20.
This new act provides that when
the candidate for naturalization APP
pears in court OF record for his final
papers he shall make petition in
accordance with the law. This petit
ton cannot be acted upon in less than
, ninety days. Immediately after the
filing OF the petition the clerk of the
court must post in conspicuous
place in his office or in the court
house notice giving the name, ma
tivity, residence of the alien, date and
place of arrival in the United States
and the date of the final hearing upon
the petition. The names OF the wit
nesses whom the applicant desires to
summon to testify in his behalf must
also be placed on the notice. Ninety
days must elapse after the posting OF
the notice before the court can act
upon the petition.
The law in every way makes radical
changes in the present system, the
apparent purpose being to make
fraudulent naturalization more diff
cul, apd to make easy the detection
oi persons who attempt or commit
naturalization frauds,
All OF the blanks and papers used
by the clerks OF courts in naturaliza-
ttion proceedings are to he furnished
them by he department Of commerce
and labor. The jurisdiction to nat
uralize aliens rs citizens remains un-
changed The declaration Of inten-
ton to become citizen must be
made at least two years before final
petition. The declaration must show
the applicant is eighteen years OF age,
must contain minute personal
description, date of his arrival in the
United States and the name OF the
vessel in which he came to the United
| States.
In not less than two years or more
than seven after the filing OF his dec
laration Of intention the candidate
, must file in duplicate petition for
final papers. This must contain
practically the same facts that are
given in the first papers. He must
set up that he is not an anarchist,
polygamist or believer in the prac-
tice of it, The petition must be veri-
fed by affidavits OF at least two cred.
table witnesses. These afidavits
must set up that deponents know that
the applicant has been resident OF
the United States continuously for at
least five years.

No Time for School.

The campaign being waged by and
through the women's journals against
child slavery in many vocations in
the eastern cities makes some start
ling revelations as to the real founda-
ton of the success of some OF the
famous captains OF industry. Espe-
cially in the manufacture of clothing
and underwear for men and women,
the making of artificial flowers, orna.
ments, laces, ETC., which are largely
made in the homes of the workers,
the story is pitiful one. The public
knows that the profits on these goods
are enormous, even if they don't guess
low enough on the cost OF making.
Yet the manufacturer remorselessly
keeps the pay of the workers just
above the starvation mark so that
they must keep at work. In order to
get the work required done the chill
dren must help the parents. Little
tots as young as three or four years
even are compelled to work all day,
and even till late in the night, doing
what their weary little hands and feet
can to keep the merciless grind going.
No time for school, pone for play,
little for sleep. There il no eight
hour day there. Truly there is need
of crusade. The slavery of the
African was happy condition com.
pared with this. His childh was
round Of play. He had sunlight,
plenty to eat and wear, his hours of
labor were reasonable, his nights
were his own. Not 80 with these.
The searchlight Of investigation is
constantly revealing some new phase
Of the worse than heathendom that
exists in the midst of our boosted en-
lightenment America has need OF
regiment OF Moseses and Joshuas. Eek.

The New Spelling Continuance.

Expressin : opinions in news pal per
is not entirel v self indulgence. Mainly
one can write what he imagines to be
of interest to himself, but sometimes
the demand Of readers for editorial
conviction on timely themes becomes
commanding. In such predicament
are we cast, says Golfers, by all pro-
posals for spelling reform. When
these things come along we are mildly
bored or family amused, like the pres
ldent of Harvard, rather than serious
ly annoyed, like the corresponding
educated opinion in Great Britain.
Nor is the public really interested. 1t
doesn't care. 1t merely wishes to
hear something said, to have it over
witch. And soon this list OF 300 words
will cease to trouble universe that
, is considerable in extent and in va
riety OF occupation. The Presidents
/ Columbia College friends have had
, the official sanction given to their
3 continuance, and no harm is done.
Language grows and changes. 1t is
, not pedded out by presidents either
t of universities or of nations. The
spelling even of White House docu-
| ments will very shortly return to
= what it was before, and to what it will
a remain until changes, which no man
8 can foresee, are slowly made by the
r people in their own good time.

In Canning Time.

There's steam upon the windows
And peach skins on the floor.
The tables buried under trash
About mile or more.
There's juice on the piano.
And grape seed in the bed
And pulp and jelly glasses crowd
The pantry overhead.
And fathers in the garnet,
And mothers in the stew;
They're rushing round from morn till
dark
To get the job put through.
The cat is choked on sealing wax,
There's solder in her ear,
And guess we're mighty happy
Now that canning time is here.
