The newspapers are periodically in
receipt of literature issued by a bureau
maintained to circulate information re-
garding the alleged failure of the pol
icy of government and municipal own
ership wherever tried. Just recently
came a report of the failure of the Ital-
ian government to administer its rail
ways successfully Nowhere in the re-
port, however, is hint of the failure of
private companies to administer the
railways, although the government. in
very self-protection of its investment,
was compelled to assume the manage,
ment of the properties.

Better Move Slowly.

Illinois farmers who are persuaded
seek locations in the far northwest
across the Canadian border, should take
heed of the obstacles. In no way is it
the desire to diSparage the advantages
of the great unsettled plains of the
northwest territory, but people should
not expect too much in conjunction
with their great freedom to acquire
land. At the present time a full thous
and American emigTantS are represent
ed to be held up by storms at far
northwest railroad station, their live
stock and themselves SnowbOund. They
are getting a disagreeable taste of it, Il
begin with-a sample that will surely
try the pioneer spirit in them besides
perhaps, weakening their resources by
a considerable destruction of property
Some of these Americans are ruined
one report says. Inadequate equipment
of the railroads is responsible for the
congestion, in conjunction with the
weather conditions. and an effort vii
be made to collect damages from them
but the immigration authorities are t.
blame for bringing hundreds of peOpl,
into the country when it is still cover
ed with ice and snow.
Many of these emigrants are said Il
be well-to-do; quite likely true, for i
requires both means and courage Il
breast the rigors of that land. Therein
also is an evidence of the sort of set
tiers that we are losing to Canada.

Customs House Reforms.

announced intention of instituting a
change in the methods of inspecting the
baggage of people entering the ports OF

The Pennsylvania legislature voted

action, which is saying good deal for
a Pennsylvania legislature. The bust

of the company was too Ill to appear.
and her understudy was also absent
In his predicament the stage manager
appealed to this particular chorus girl
to go on and read the lines as well as
she could. The girl said she would not
only read the lines, but could sing the
songs as well, all Of which she did. and
did with confidence and ability, and
for the first time in her life had a spot
light follow her about the stage and
heard waves Of applause rush over the
footlights which were intended for her
and her only. After 1t was all over
she said quite casually to the admiring
throng that surrounded her: There's

der and be quite alone, where the twilight
will keep the secret, where the perfumed
breath of the evening hour is full Of sweet
and soft suggestion.
