Jenkins ran the man who made the proposition off his place He explains that he thought it was simply big rob- bing scheme, and he didn't want the ten blocks for a gift.
 Jenkins had been there for 25 years, and was convinced that it was nothing but pasture land. A few days ago he bought a business corner for $4,0O0 and is now putting up a s25,O00 hotel on 1t. He has changed his mind.

 The president of the bigges. bank was an old buffalo hunter who located near by 19 years ago, and the land he accumulated he recently sold for s75,00O. One story they tell is that of a pretty girl who was a waitress in the best hotel there six months ago.

 With unwearled patience this man would instantly detect the device and pick the proceedings up and replace them on the rails. Once or twice somebody would think to be merry with him because he is a low common labor person. Upon such a one he would turn two keen, analytical e.es and fine grave face so obviously honest that somehow the fun dropped out of the occasion and the jester seemed rather ashamed of himself. And then again this chairman evidently knew all about the subject in hand; knew. too, when witnesses were trying to be shifty and evade the truth. and the swiftness with which he tied knots about these and

 Railroad men are also in the pay of the land agents, and they make good addi- tions to their salaries by the advice they give travellers. The speculation that has prevailed for the last year has caused steady advance in prices, but the conser- vative fellows, the old-timers, say that the prices can't last.

JOHN MIFFLIN HOOD.

Not only Baltimore city, but the
enr're State has sustained great
loss in the death of John Mifflin
Hood, president of the United Rail
ways and Electric Company. He
was distinct character in helping
to build up the internal interests of
tta STATE, and occupied one of the
best positions among our great
fnanciers.
While at the head of the local street
car system of Baltimore city at the
time of his death, position which
he filed with great credit, this was
not his Iife's work, his labors being
in the interest of the Western Mary
land railroad. This was an enter
prise in which the city of Baltimore
embarked it's credit in order to re-
cover and hold the trade of the Cum
berland Valley. When Mr.. Hood
was elected president in 1874 there
were 90 miles of trackage in dilapi-
dated condition, and it was bank
rupt affair Twenty-eight years
later, having finished his work, he
resigned the presidency under most
favorable circumstances. The road
was in frst-class condition, with
more than five times the original
trackage, and the city's interests,
which had been regarded as worse
than worthless, sold for $4,000, 900.
The work of rebuilding the Balti-
more street car service after the
great fire of 1904 was largely due to
the energies of General Hood. AL
though this corporation was in a
very badly crippled condition, it sur
vived the shock and is now in a pro-
cess of favorable fnanciering, which
was only possible because of former
good management.
Best of all, General Hood was
gentleman in every particular. He

A GRAVE QUESTION.

Secretary Root in a recent speech
strongly advocated the obliteration
of state lines and the Capitalization
of power in the Federal government.
His speech has been received with
widespread interest, and the action
of Senators Rayner and Whyte in
pushing forward the issue of states
rights indicates that the Democrats
and Republicans may have consider
able to say on this subject during
the next national campaign.
The Civil war was primarily
fought over this principle. While the
abolition of slavery was the avowed
object of the northerners, the south
ern people resented the passage of
laws which would interfere with
their local selfgovernment. The
generation that existed then viewed
no public question except from this
standpoint, either for or against.
Since the gap made by the war has
been closing, other public questions
have come up and states rights ap-
parently for the time were forgotten.
The Japanese school question in San
Francisco has done a great deal to
revive it, however, and following
closely on this comes the speech of
Secretary Root, who is regarded as
the brains of the Republican party
of the United States.
The Kgis will not attempt in this
article to discuss so grave and mo-
mentous a question, although our
readers can have little doubt as to
which sideit will take. The question
is one that requires great thought,
and if we are to have a campaign on
this issue, it would be we'll for us all
to better inform ourselves in ad-
vance.
The United States is a great coun-
try and we are daily making history
for the world. Are we drifting from
a democracy to a monarchy?
