The Illness of King Oscar:

The news from Stockholm of King
Oscar s serious illness adds another to
the list of monarchs who are now near
death. The shah of Persia is vuncon-
scious, the sultan of, Turkey has d NOR
tai illness and the emperor of Austria
Hungary is in a very feeble condition.
The death Of Oscar would deprive
Sweden of the ablest and best king of
the Bernadotteg dynasty. His tastes
run to literature, art and music rather
than to statecraft, and but for the ac:
cident of, his brothers. death, without
issue, he would still be the duke of Os-
tergotland. But when destiny called
him d to the purple, he became the
friend of his people and. the stanch
supporter of peace. More than anyone
else, he stood between Sweden and
Norway during the recent crisis and
prevented any action looking forward
war; He was determined that his reign
should not be sullied by the shedding
of the blood of the brother folk.
He is a man of liberal and gem
erous impulses, born orator and alto
gether commanding and kingly fig
ure. Unfortunately not so much can
be said for the crown PRINCES Gustaf,
,who,t however, has reached mature
years and may prove as much of a: sur
prise when he receives the crown as the
English Edward has. On two occa-
sions heretofore he has been named re-
gent, while his father was. i'll. In his
younger days he betrayed a lively SYM
pathy with the military and reaction
airy elements. Tt is. not probable that
the Swedish liberals, who have made
such strides. of late; in political
strength, will find warm friend in
him. 1t is to be hoped, however, that
as king he will adopt the principle
finally accepted by Oscar of naming a
ministry of the same political complex
ion as the lower house, Of the .riksdag.
This is a long step toward popular gov
eminent, since it means accountability
to the people. - =
All the world will join with Sweden
in mourning, should the present illness
of King Oscar come to a fatal termin-
alton. : -

Farmers are already coming to town
with stories of burning up sheds and
other outhouses. We have notified the
farmers that if the worst comes they
can bring their families and bedding
and camp camp in our new four-room brick
schoolhouse. We have sufficient coal
to heat the building for three months at
least and it will go farther in this way
than it would to distribute it among
those who. are out, as it would not
make a bushel each.
eve will also wire our senators at
Washington today asking their interest

cannot put our words strong enough
to- convey. to you the importance of
getting railroads to haul special trains

were sixty cars or more back in orders
and could not obtain cars to load. Farm
ers cannot go to the mines and haul
more than 1000 to 1900 pounds, as
roads are almost impossible.

What s the ''Melon' For?

:. What does the Great Northern want
the $60,000,00O for?
:. That- is a pertinent question, which
Attorney General Young desires to
have answered before the new stock is
issued: - He has right to put the
question, and unless it is answered to
the satisfaction Of the state railroad
commission, the stock cannot be issued
legally. Z Section 1912 of the Revised
Sta tutes makes this requirement:
",Before any railroad corporation
shall increase its capital stock, it shall
apply to the railroad and warehouse
commission in writing, setting forth
the amount of the proposed increase
and The purpose for which it is de-
slred.'e Provision is then made for a
hearing, after which the commission
may allow or refuse the application
for increase. The section then saws:
":No capital stock shall be issued by
any railway corporation until the full
amount thereof has been paid to the
corporation in money, labor or materi-
ais actually used in the construction of
its road, nor shall the capital stock Of
any such corporation be Increased ex-
cept by special authority Of 1such
railroad and warehouse commission -

to know what that $6O,OOO,OOO is to: be
used for. In view Of the fact that the

or large part Of it, is to be spent for
new equipment, for improving The
roadbed, laying double track, OR other
wise relieving blockade conditions.
They would like to be assured that the
company is preparing to give the pub
lie prompt and efficient service, in
stead Of grasping for more territory.
In a--word, they would know whether
this. money is to serve any purpose
helpful to the people. ,v. "-
There are other questions that should
be- answered at the same. time: The
attorney general announces that he
wants to know what has been done
with, the: $25,000,00O issue of last
spring. He:~might, also inquire what
MIR. Hill intends to do with: the big
cash surplus, now reported to approx
mate $4,000, 000.. That has been de-
rived from the pockets of the people,
over and above generous return on
the stockholders investment. Why
shouldn It that surplus be drawn upon
to, buy equipment. and improve the
roadbed, instead of initiating the CAPT

So; Small Consolation Here. ~:
.''tThe cause of the traffic congestion
is the improvidence Of the people. With
present equipment, track, terminals ana
facilities generally, the railroads could
distribute promptly the country's bust
ness if the business were. ;sensibly and
properly distributed over the entire
year, instead of being massed in a few
months. III s'>s5 g. = - = =
"People do not buy coal until they
need it. When they get cold, they all
want coal Immediately, and wonder
why they cannot get it.: Dealers should
have stocks on hand when the demand
is likely to break out suddenly. That
merely illustrates what is wrong. :; :
"Not only are people improvident;
they also take, too many chances. They
know they will want things. and that
stead of anticipating the congestion
they wait and then suffer because their
wants cannot be supplied. Farmers
raise a big crop Of grain, but have few
facilities for taking care Of it. And
II dc, not think the need is for more
transportation facilities so much as
more common sense. The railroads can.
not relieve the situation by running
smaller trains and more frequently. The
best results come. from the maximum
load. Per diem rules and other co.
operative agencies may help, but no
permanent relief can come while the
people are so improvident. The traffic
situation on the railroads is like the
traction problem in New York in some
respects. So long as most people rush
to work or from work at the same
time. there will be congestion City

much money next year as this year, if
they can get it. I do not see much
chance for retrenchment.
