RESCUED FROM DEATH.
Woman Saved From Being Crushed

Milton w. Phillips, station agent OF the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad at Takoma
Park. this morning. rescued a woman
under narrowing circumstances from what
appeared would be certain death.
Agent Phillips was lowering the gates
at the crossing as the swiftly approaching
Chicago express. which was running at
looming I'D from the north. The gate
nearest the speeding train had been low
cred and Phillips was In the act of letting
down the gate on the opposite side of the
track when he suddenly noticed a woman
on the tracks and in front of the train.
Seeing there was not moment to lose, he
dashed through the gates, seized her and
threw her between the two ira cks. holding
her until the train had passed by. Had

the train. 1t is said, they would have been

at the top Of my voice." he said. but she
continued across the track. utterly OBJ
livious, apparently, of her precarious situa-
ton. Two men who were behind her
stopped Just In the nick Of time. Words
of praise cannot be too strong for the
nerve and bravery displayed by Mr.. Phil

realizing the predicament Of the woman

Swear of on Pies.
(CleVeland Plaindealer)

What loyal American ever demanded
that his pie should be wholesome? Ever
since the foundation of the republic
we have been eating pie two or three
times a day, and have proved the in
herent stamina of our race by surviV-
ing the diet. All this time we have
known that we were taking our lives
in our hands and have grinned and
rejoiced in the risk. If they are going
to make pie healthful, what is the use
of eating it? We shall still have
doughnuts fried meats pickles, ice
water, melons and soda fountain con-
coctions to fall back on. There will be
plenty of ways left for running our
stomachs and souring our dispositions.
But it would be sad to have this old
established institution pass away. Pie
has long been Americas greatest ma
tional article of diet. Its praises have
been sung alike by Ralph Waldo En-
erson and Colonel Henry Wattersan,
and it's virtues have been a matter for
silent Thanksgiving by the great silent
choir of substantial citizens But,

LARGE ENOUGH BUT USELESS.

The assessment of a twenty-nine
million dollar fine against the Standard
Oil Company certainly gave the Chi
cago judge about that amount of news
paper publicity but for the purpose of
furnishing the offending corporation
will have about as much effect as a
policeman In front of an automobile.
Nobody believes that fine of such
magnitude will ever be paid, least of
all do the Standard Oil men themselves
believe It, About all such fine can
amount to is to give evidence that the
Judge believed the accused guilty to
the full limit of the offense charged.
We will never have real reform in
high places until the corporations vio-
lating the law can have their incor-
poration certificates revoked and their
officers jailed. Down in Alabama the
railroads ignored the state courts and
chased the state authority around the
stump. as it were, until a vigorous
governor revoked the railroads license
to do business in that state. Up to
that time there was very large ques-
ton between state and federal au-
thorities as to which government had
superior jurisdiction, but the law ques-
ton vanished Immediately before the
fact of a license revoked.
What use is there in assessing fab
ulous fines upon a corporation which
possesses a monopoly upon a necessity
of life? An arbitrary raise in the price
will pass any fine right on to the pub
lie Railroads can not be prevented
from rebating by fines imposed at rare
A Jail sentence for the
officials is the only way large
can be compelled to
obey the law. The smallest kind Of
a Jail sentence would have more ter
rors for H. H. Rogers or John D. than
any twenty-nine million dollar fine
which will not have to be paid, or
which can be passed on to the general
public by raise in Oil.

tending public dances unless accom-
panied by a parent or guardian. Here
is an ordinance worth following in
other towns.
The public dance is always a, NUS
ance when liquor is carried there. a
nuisance to both the general public
and TO the people who would attend
such public gatherings without engag-
ing in a public brawl. AT best. a pub
lie dance is not attended by a select
class, and 1t is no place for children
to go. Whether girls of Is years of age
and over are any better prepared to
withstand the emotional stimulant of a
public dance is question, but town
council is strictly within its province
of duty when it prohibits children
from frequenting such places unat-
tended.
Grinnell can show results from dras-
tic reform which are worthy of emu
lation. Without a saloon in the town,
and without even druggists permit
in force, Grinnell showed the largest
percentage of gain in population by
the last census of all towns or cities
in the state, and now reports more
moneys and credits for taxation than
does Waterloo or Sioux City. Grin
nell has greater number of homes
above $4,000 in value than any town in
Iowa showing twice the population.
greater even than Marshalltown or
Waterloo with three times the popu-
lation. Reform looks severe and i'm
possible to those unaccustomed to 1t,
but when public sentiment is suffi-
GENTLY unified the suppression of all
nusances is not only possible, but is
exceedingly profitable.

THE BOY OF OTHER DAYS.
burlington Hawkeye)


He always was a happy-go-l lucky
fellow. and he always got something
of pleasure out of every day. But
the boy of today at least SO far as
this glorious western country is con-
cerned. is surely the most fortunate,
the happiest boy in all the world.
While he is at school, the district pro-
vides every possible convenience for
him, and the state looks after him in
SO far that he cannot be deprived of
his schooling OF real work, the boy
Of today knows little or nothing. That
is of the drudgery, which would have
broken the spirit of any one but the
boys Of forty or fifty years ago Then
it was work and work hard for the
man and the boy. And much of the
work that the man disliked fell to, the
share of the boy. And yet, the boy
learned valuable lessons, while he was
performing the frequently distasteful
drudgery. But the boy, who toled here
thirty years ago is not apt to grow
wildly, deliriousy joyful over the
good old times"
And who knows, perhaps thirty
years from now, the old boys will be
relating to the youngsters how hard
the work and how poor the pay and
how long the hours were for the boys
of the first decade of the twentieth
century. And they will probably add,
that it might be a good thing for some
of the youngsters of the forties, if
they had to work as hard as did the
boys Of thirty years ago.
