"In speaking of this co-operation-this CO.
ordination-you referred a short time ago
to the part the government should play in
this reciprocal arrangement. Does that
bring up the idea of government owner
ship?'
No: do not believe in government own
ership." he said. quickly. THAT Is imprac-
tical-utterly impractical Let the govern
ment start in to build railroads, and no
congressman will vote for a new road in
another congressman's territory unless he,
too, is to have road in his territory. Gov
eminent ownership? Oh, that is out of
the question entrely,"
And governmental control?"
NO. not governmental control. but gov
ernmental regulation. Now, that is FEAST
BILE; that is reasonable. 1 believe that a con-
sentative governmental regulation of the
railroads would result in good for ALL"
Coupled with the idea of cooperation on
the part of the people?''
Certainly"
I'm this connection" said. you of
course know how anxious the small investor
is to obtain 4 per cent government bonds,
and how difficult it Is for him to obtain
them. Now, suppose this small investor
were made to feel that railroad invest
ment was safe for him. would not that re-
suit In cooperation with you on the part
of the people?
Undoubtedly, under those circumstances.
But you must remember this"
He leaned forward on the desk The
CLEAN of action was in his eye.

Can the ambition OF man like that be

Der, 1 have had my photograph

Hartman smiled as he said this
TO me the other afternoon in his once at
100 Broadway. New York. He sat up
straight in his chair at his desk and looked
quizzically through his double-glassed spec
tacles.
81 have been told within the last few
DAYS" he continued. that am talking too
much But do you know
His face was serious now.
DO YOU know L believe that one OF
the great causes of the bad feelng-and
bad feeling there unquestionably 1s-pe-
tween the railroads and the public is the
fact that the railroads have maintained a
secrellve policy. And it is this secretlve
policy that has created a distrust on the
part of the people. This distrust has grown
as the railroads have grown; it has resulted
In the present agitation-an agitation mat
marks climax in the career of every rail-
road in the United States"
And how do you view this agtation?" 1
asked.
He shifted we'll back in his chair.
at first" he said decidedly, Il thought
IL would result in great harm to the rail-
roads"
He stopped for a minute and l asked:
Now what is your opinion
81 think it will result in good, he said
frankly You understand what I mean?
II will bring out points about the railroads
that were never before brought out, so that
the people could understand them The agi-
tation | refer to is the interstate commerce
investigation, and through this medium
concrete facts will be made plain to all
The public will be educated on many points
concerning the operation and maintenance
of railroads.
What will this education of the public
result in -
1T will result in a closer feeling between
the management of the railroads and the
people of the country. 1t is the beginning
of a mutual bond of sympathy, a mutual
understanding and desire to unite for
common good / am .oroughly convinced
II is for the best interests of all-for the
railroads. the government and the people
to co-operate-that is not exactly the word
i want"
He tapped his pencil on the desk His
black eyes snapped behind the double
glasses
Coordinate" he jerked out. That's it.
The railroads the government, the people
must coordinate. There must be common
action. mutual interest. Do l make 1t plain
to YOU? Is it clear"

that a railroad is making millions, when
ofttlmes the road is losing money rail-
road in running though a new country, for
instance, must build up its business be-
fore 1t can hope to pay dividends, and
building up business means building up
the country. One on the outside cannot
realize the expense of building such road,
of equipping it, of improving it. We put
2J0000,OO0 into the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific systems l took hold of
the Union Pacific when it was just coming
out of bankruptcy and the Southern Pa
cific when it was just going in Enormous
amounts of capital are required to put the
railroads in position to do business, and
IL the capitalists who invest this money

doing we'll"
But the railroad of today is a very pros
porous proposition, is it not?"
He smiled perhaps trifle cynically, as he
said
1T depends upon how it is managed A
few years ago the railroads were struggling
to secure traffic Now they are trying to
secure facilities to handle the traffic. You
know how we are tied up in Manhattan.
We can't get the room. 1t is simply impos-
sible. 1t isn't there. 1t is the same In all

might come in. Instead of having this
traffic piled up. instead of congesting freight
cars, some of the freight might be unload
ed and put in warehouses and thus keep
the tracks clearer But that's another
question-that deals with the railroad of to-
morrow. We are talking of the railroad of
today"
And in that connection there is the rate
question that many of the states are fight
ing"
Yes. there is the rate question. There
are many things in connection with this
question that are not taken into considera-
ton by those who are seeking to lower the
rates of railroads. If we compare our roads
with European roads We shall find that the
wages paid here are about 30 per cent
higher than on the other side. We shall
also find that there are shorter hours of la
Dor here than In Europe. We shall also
find higher prices for material here than In
Europe; yet on an average, the cost Of
transportation in the United States is about
% per cent lower than it is in European
countries. / think when we have taken the
public into confidence. and when we all
understand these things. there will be a
unity of action that will rebound to the
benefit of us all. That is why I preach CO.

1t is, of course. not the purpose of the
forest service TO promote by these
studies. or in any other way. the inter-
ests of the stockman as against the
settler. When the bona fida home
steader is ready TO take possession
every right thinking person, whatever
his private interest may be, must rec
ognize that IL is time for the stock
man to get of. This is just as true of
forest as of range. What the forest
service is trying to do is to make every
acre add all that il can to the general
welfare. If il is worth most for farm
ing. IL should be farmed; IL for graz
ing, grazed; IL for timber growing and
water conservation, 1t should be used
accordingly. 1t is simple principle,
and plainly in the best interest Of the
west, yet il has been often misunder-

Millionaire in Love with Poverty

On the island of Elba there lately
died a mar named Melani, who. though
a millionaire. had for many years
lived as guest in peasants family.
He had, 1t seems, completely lost his
memory, and had certainly forgotten
that he was so rich. He always lived
as a poor man, passing his time in
meditation and prayer, so that the
fishers of the island regarded him as
a saint. NJ. Melani bequeathed ey-
erything he had to his kind-hearted
hosts, who, as can be easily under
stood, were surprised beyond measure
when they heard how rich their for.
mer guest had been. At Pistoja, in
Tuscany. NJ. Melani owned a magnifi-
cent mansion, which had been kept
closed since 1856. On opening the
house after the owners death IL was
found that all the furniture and arts.
tic objects had disappeared-nobody
knows how or when. An only rela.
tive is'opposing the will on the ground
that deceased was OF unsound mind.

Children Need Exercise.

The school room is a menace to
health of the child which at the pres
ent time We cannot escape AS the
methods of preventive medicine de-
velcp and enforce themselves upon
our municipal authorities, the yenti-
lation and overcrowding of our
schools, the defective methods of
handling the children's wraps and the
lack of medical supervision will be
corrected. In the meantime We can
do much to protect our children by
caring for their general health in the
manner indicated and by thoroughly
cleaning and airing their school wraps
and clothing each day. The hours OF
study outside the school in ambitious,
clever children must be SO regulated
as to give the child an abundance of
exercise in the open air. II there is
any evidence that the school life is
having a bad effect upon the health
of the child the cause should be looked
for. and, il necessary, he should be

publics. tells a good story on himself
Some years ago, he was asked by a
friend to make a speech at a big bar
becue which was to be held at a dis
tant town.
His friend was TO have been the
principal speaker, but owing to i'll
ness was unable to attend. so he sent
Mr.. Barrett instead. He telegraphed
the chairman Of the barbecue that
John Barrett, ex-minister to Slam.
would deliver the address of the day
The chairman, being acquainted with
ministers Of only one kind, was some
what astonished that Mr.. Barrett
should be sent. When the time came
for the speech he went to the front
of the platform TO Introduce the speak
er. After consulting the telegram again

troduce the principal speaker OF the
day. The Reverend John Barrett, ex-
