RAILROADS BORROWING MONEY.

1t is reported that when ex Governor
Larrabee visited the president at the
White House to talk over railroad re-
forms, the Iowa man propounded the
question Would you. Mr.. President,
as trustee of an estate. invest it in
railroad stocks?" And the president
is reported to have replied that he
would not. 1t is also recounted that
the Iowa Governor then asked: "But
you would invest in national bank
stock?' and upon receiving an affirm
alive reply. remarked that his propo-
sition of more careful regulation of
railroad inv estments by the govern
ment had been fully proved.
Whether true in detail or not. the
story calls attention to truth which
must be considered sooner or later.
The person who buys government reg
ulated bank stock to the amount of
SIS. 900 is held liable for the SIS, 900 in
vested. and $4,000 more in order to
guarantee security to depositors. yet
the president would quickly invest
trust funds in such stock and SO would
the average person the world over.
What is the result? The people of
this country place in the banks count
less millions of idle money. much of it
at no interest earning at all. being
subject to sight checks for withdraw
al and hardly any of it at more than
3 per cent in the country or per cent
in the cities on time. The railroads,
however. are sending circulars to
every bank in the United States every
Monday morning to borrow money for
one to five years at from 81 to 81 per
cent interest. and there are no takers.
Even such roads as the Pennsylvania
Line. Erie Railroad, Southern. L. &
| N. and many not SO strong, are
actually begging for money from one
ocean to the other. while millions
upon millions are put into savings
banks. national and state banks. at
no interest or half the rates offered
by the railroads.
If the presidents of railroads would
quit their own predictions of disaster
to their properties as the result of re-
form legislation. march up to the
president with the proposition
here. we want to be regulated until
we can borrow money from the peo-
pie as freely as your regulated banks
can. and we are willing to assume
double liability as stockholders in or
der to guarantee our loans, they
would Immediately have two dollars
to use at the present cost of one, and
an advance of 10 per cent in the
wages for railroad employees need moi
send the cold shivers down the backs
Of every financial critic in the bank
ing world. Larrabee has an idea that
is worth millions. -Marshallto WIN

This does not mean that the millen-
MUM has come and the nations of the
earth will cease to be jealous and
grasping for power and landed possess
sions. Reforms such as these move
slowly, taking often hundreds of
years. Even limited application of
the arbitration plan will mean so
much to the helpless common people
who have been driven to war as sheep
to the slaughter. We are glad that
the United States is one of the leaders
in the movement which promises so
much for the happiness and welfare
of the world.

ED o RIAL
THE TEMPLE OF THE SOUL,

Last week we made a hurried trip
to Chicago. We landed about 8 80,
just in time to see the great volume
of clerks, stenographers and Office peo-
pie going to their work. Again at the
lunch time we saw the crush of hui
manity crowding the streets and dur
ing the afternoon we beheld the
women and the men of the more lei
sure class doing the rounds of shopping
and idling. To countryman like the
editor there is something intensely in
teresting in the sight of a crowd
High aud low. rich and poor. were
there side by side. jostling each other
in the impetuous struggle for exist
ence. One fact that impressed us was
the lack of physical perfection in the
men. Among the thousands we saw
hardly man who looked as if he had
given any thought to the maintenance
of good physique. There were fat,
over-fed men. there were thin. blear-
eyed men. there were nervous little
men. There were men with marks of
dissipation of all kinds. but how few
OF clear complexion. bright eyes.
erect carriage. and the marks of
perfect health. We give too little
attention to our bodies. except to
pamper to their desires. Some of us
eat too much. some of us sleep too
much. some of us sleep too little.
Some of us drink too much. nearly all
of us use too much tobacco. All these
things are taking years from our
length of life and subtracting daily
from our vital forces, befogging the
brain. dulling the eye and lessening
the strength of the arm and the cum
ming of the hand. More attention
should be paid to the physical we'll
being. A sane mind in healthy body.
should be the motto of all. How many
men are there of forty who can run
mile? How many who can walk
mile in fifteen minutes without look
ing like the last rose of summer when
they reach their destination?.
1t is probably too late for the ma
jority of us to reform but the impor-
lance Of physical training and prop
er care and respect for the body
should be inculcated in the youth at
least. England found during the Boer
war that it was fast becoming race
of physical degenerates. The only
real men its army afforded were the
volunteers from the colonies. Our boys
and girls at least should have gym
nasium. conducted by someone who
knows the kind and the amount of ex-
ercise each one should take. Courses
of the study should be modified SO that
the children will have more time for
outdoor recreation. Above all things.
they should be taught that the body
is the temple of the soul and that
true diety never dwells in place
defiled, delapidated and forlorn.

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION.

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION
AS many of our readers know. there
has been held recently at New York
an international gathering devoted to
the bringing about such an under
standing among nations that warfare
shall be a thing of the past. The
affair brought together some of the
strongest and most thoughtful men of
the world Over its deliberations
presided Andrew Carnegie. whose gift
for magnificent permanent building
for the use of the peace commissioners
at the Hague. won for him special
recognition from the French govern
nent. President Roosevelt sent let
ter to the assembly and Secretary
Root made an address in which he
told many valuable things based on
his late visit to the republics of South
America 1t is indeed favorable sign
for the bringing about of peace when
accredited representatives. of the great
nations gather for that purpose.
In times past, what most people
considered a number of peace cranks
met to talk Of the doing away with
war as means of settling disputes.
and their resolutions were ridlculed.
Now things are different, and even
the Emperor of Germany is ready to
lead the way to arbitration methods
Of settling disputes. A beginning was
made when the claims of this country
against England on account of the
damage done by the Alabama during
the late war. were referred to band
Of commissioners and the United
States and England have since set the
other nations a worthy example in
this regard. Bryan attended the New
York conference and made a great
speech. He prides himself much on
his endeavors for an international
agreement for peace. 1t is triumph
for the ciyilities produced by the bible
that arbitration for disputes between
nations is being seriously considered.

HE TOOK A BRIRE.

The Chicago Tribune of Wednesday
of last week gave the picture of Perry
L.. Hedrick, chief sanitary inspector of
that city, who is accused of asking for
and receiving bribe of 5000 to secure
his recommendation for the use of
pl mbirg d.vioe. Some four columns
of the paper are devoted to the affair
and it is treated as great triumph
for the roofing out of graft in nat
city. According to the newspaper ac-
count, Hedrick was seen to take the
money. and marked bills were found
in his pocket. He was allowed to go
home accompanied by the police offic-
ers. to see his wife and arrange for
release on bonds. "There's the rub
the home coming to the wife. We
were a resident of Mason City when
young Hedrick married one of the
sweetest and most charming young
ladies of that city. She came from
good home, her father was lieuten-
ant in the union army. he was the
soul of honor. and the daughter could
not think of doing a wrong such as
urging her husband to gain money by
seeking bride for doing an official
act. We can we'll imagine her feelings
on the fact coming to her that her
husband had been arrested for commit
ting a crime. We know also of her
mother who has made her home with
the daughter for many months. a
noble christian woman. 1t is needless
to ask why men will disgrace them
selves and their loved one by falling
in dishonest ways? The thought of
that beautiful, loving wife should have
made Hedrick stop and think long be-
fore he demanded a bride for approx
ing that sewer trap.
If he alone suffers it might be-
serving him right. for he went in to
the matter knowing he was doing
wrong. He had thought the matter
over. perhaps had received money be-
fore for similar favors. He is bright
enough to know the penalties of the
law, but evidently q novice at arrang-
ing for the receiving of bride.
Would that his case could be
warning to men tempted to stray from
the paths of right.

IOWA AND THE PRESIDENCY.

AS to the possibilities. Iowa repub-
licans have probably cut themselves
out of a chance for the next nomina-
tivn by foolish warfare within the
party. We have number of able men

the possible exception of Dolliver.

port in his own state as would be alb
solutely necessary t o success in the
national convention. considering that
Iowa is so strongly republican as to
have little chance in any event. Gov
ernor Cummins is an ADLER man than
many who have been mentioned"
for the presidency. and we have al
ways maintained that the warfare of
his friends, often unjust and unneces-
sary. upon other able Iowa men,
would in the end be detriment to
his career. Iowa has a place for all
her good men. and they ought to get
together. instead of continually quar-
reling and fighting among themselves.

vantage and in general making the

Iowa people have been pleased to

been in Washington and while there
had an interview with the president
OIL the railroad legislation question.
There is no Iowa citizen who is better
posted on this matter, his ideas are
not tainted with desire to make a
record to advance his personal or
political prospects,. He was one of the
forerunners for fair railroad control.
When he took up the question he did
not have public opinion In the nation
with him. president leading on. but
he had to blaze out path practically
alone. The laws which had the seal of
his approval proved just. and have
been the model for those enacted in
many of our neighboring states. Iowa
people feel sure that the advice of
Larrabee given the president was safe
and conservative. the result of years
of thought and study on the transporta-
ton problems.

ROMANCE OF A NAME.
Hush Williams and Remarkable
Sar;ae oI coineidences

Hugh Williams and Remarkable
Series of Condolences.
Names have figured frequently in CO.
incidences, one of the most remarkable
cases being that recorded Of a series OF
men named Hugh Williams. whose es-
capes from shipwreck are recorded BY
an English chronicler.
On Dec. 5, 1864, according to this au-
thority. the English ship Menia was
crossing the strait Of Dover and cap
sized in gale. Of the eighty-one pas
sengers on board one was saved. His
name was Hugh Williams.
On the same day of the same month
in 1855 q pleasure boat was wrecked
on the Isle Of Man. There We're sixty
persons on the boat, among them one
Hugh Williams and his family. OF the
threescore none but old Hugh Williams
survived the shock.
On Aug. 5. 1920, a picnickinG party
on the Thames was run down by q
coal barge. There were twenty-five OF
the picnickers, mostly chilGgen under
twelve years of age. Little Hugh Will
Iams, visitor from Liverpool, only
I've years old. was the only one who
was saved.
Now comes the most singular part of
this singular story. On Aug. 10, 1889, a
coal laden craft, with nine men, foun-
dered in the North sea. Two Of the
men, each of whom was named Hugh
Williams. an uncle and nephew, were
rescued by some fishermen and were
