Our Constitutional convention has
performed one of its noblest works by
placing in the constitution the initia-

The right Of the people to control
every monopoly, including railroads,

Il is the right and duty Of the peo-

We should have primary nomina-
tions for the selection of all caudi-
dates for Office.
Free transportation is one of the
most subtle, but none the less potent,
forms of official bribery. We should
have stringent anti-pass laws, making
it crime for one man to give or an
other to receive pass, except he be
an employe Of the person giving the

am opposed to rebates and discrim-
ination, and believe our country
should not tolerate a tribute levied
upon its commerce to support specula-
tion and pay interest on fictitious
issues of stocks and bonds.
The government should supervise
and control issues Of railroad and pub
lie service corporation stocks and
bonds, and the interstate commerce
commission and state commission
should be vested with power to ascer-
tain the true value of railroads, based
upon the cost of reproducing them, in
order that basis for taxation and the
fixing of reasonable rates may be
reached. With this TO work from just
rates and two cent fare will become
reality, and every dollar invested in
such securities bear its proper share Of
the burdens of government. The
power of federal courts to grant in
functions in such cases is a very dan
gerous and unsatisfactory expedient.
The machinery of our interstate
commerce commission is so cumbrous,
complicated and remote that our peo-
pie do not regard it as an instrument

sent to the penitentiary for two years

to mind the evil of which is growing

is very strict about this matter, and

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS

The recent financial storm gives
urgent reason why there should be es-
tablished the postal saving banks in
this country. Money with the govern
ment would be safe. and there would
be no runs on the public treasury
which could not be met. 1t is conced-
Ell that in times like this people hoard
their money. creating more of fl
nancial stringency. They will not
deposit in the best banks while there
is lack of confidence in the air. One
of the great gains to the people in
general, is getting them in the saving
habit. Parents aways try to encourage
their children to save. and the chances
are that in nearly every home there is
some effort made to instill in the
minds of the little ones. habits of
thrift and of saving rather than
spending the money which becomes
their own. Why is this done? The
answer is clear, for it is to get the
children. in the saving habit" hop
ing that it will follow them in later
life. The government as the we'll
wisher of the entire people should
take steps to encourage the habit
formed in childhood by making it easy
to save and the best way at hand is
establish the postal saving banks.
We are pleased to see the present
Postmaster General urging this plan
on congress.

Memory Of Sleepwaikers.

The memory Of sleepwalkers is oc-
casionally prodigious under the inf1u.
ence Of the dominating impulse that
moves them. There is an instance OF
q poor and illiterate basket maker,
who was unable to read or write, yet
in q state Of sleep he would preach
fluent sermons, which were afterward
recognized as having formed portions
Of discourses he was accustomed to
hear in the parish church as a child
more than forty years before. Quite
as strange case of unconscious
memory" is referred to by DIR. Aber-
crombie. A girl given to sleepwalking
was in the habit of initiating the violin
with her lips, giving the preliminary
tuning and scraping and hourishing
with the utmost fidelity. 1t puzzled
the physician good deal, until he
ascertained that when a child she

Tho Foot of the Reindeer.

The foot of the reindeer is most pc
culiar in construction. 1t is clover
through the middle, and each halt
curves upward in front. 1t is slightly
elongated and capable Of a consider
able amount of expansion. When
placed on an irregular surface, which
is difficult to traverse, the animal con-
tracts the feet into a sort Of claw, by
which a firm hold is secured. When
moving rapidly, the two portions of the
foot as it is lifting strike together, the
hoofs making a continuous clattering
noise, which may be heard at consid.
erable distance. 1t is this peculiarly
Of the feet that makes the reindeer so
sure footed and so valuable In rocky
and uneven country, where almost any
other animal would prove failure as
