Dear Sir: What will it cost to sow ten
acres half wheat and half daisy mixed ?
and what'll the crop be worth
We don't know what daisy-seed costs
nor how bulky it is: we suspect half wheat
and half daisy would make a big crop of
daisies, and last long time the wheat
might be short.
The parable throws some light on the
cost of a paint half whitewash. White
wash. mixed half-and-half with paint, is
all-paint in look and feel indeed nine
tenths of the pain" in the stores is part
whitewash; some half, some more, some
less.
Paint has to be spread with the brush.
the surface prepared, the ladders scaffolds
pulleys and ropes arranged and moved,
there's great deal of labor in putting paint
on it costs So to S4 a gallon to do it.
What does it cost to paint whitewaSh /?
lust the same. Half-whitewash Just the
same. 1t doesn't seem worth while, for
the whitewash does harm, not good,
Will the paint hold the whitewash fast /?
or the whitewash loosen the paint
Better paint pure paint, the least-gallons
paint, the least-money paint Devoe.

What was said to be one Of the greatest
ratepayers' demonstrations seen in Lon
don In many years occurred recently when
several thousands marched through the
streets to Trafalgar square, ;0h"-c n mass
meeting was held to protest against fur
ther municipal ownership experiments on
the part of the London county council.
The procession, which was more than q
mile in length, included many unique fea-
lures intended to cast discredit upon the
municipal industries. among these being
fifty large gramophones which emitted
bitter comments upon "wastres." The
meeting adopted resolution stating that
This mass meeting of London ratepayers
Indignantly protests against the increas-
ing burden of rates, caused by the pro-
gressise socialist party, and pledges itself
to exert every effort to turn the wastrels
out on March 2, and place in power the
party of municipal reform"
Prime Minister Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman contributes to the Nation,
the liberal weekly, an article on The
Hague conference, in which he refutes
the objections to raising the question of
limitation of armaments, contending that
nothing has occurred since 1898 to render
inopportune or mischievous the reduction
of armaments which was then recognized
as desirable. On the contrary, he says,
the passage of years has only served to
strengthen the impression of 1898 that
the endless multiplication of engines Of
war is futile and self-defeating, and that
what was then a suspicion, that no limit
could be set to the struggle for sea pow
er save by the process of economic ex-
haustion, has now become something like
a certainty. He asserts that Great Brit
ain has already given an earnest of her
sincerity by reducing her naval and mill
tary expenditures, and by undertaking TO
go further if similar disposition 10

Spirit Voice of Death.

The alleged spirit messages from the
late DIR. Richard Hodgson to his living
friend and former co-worker, Prof. Hys-
lop, through the mediumship of Mrs.
Piper of Boston, are described by DIR.
Isaac Funk, the New York publisher, in
his book "The Psychic Riddle" DIR.
Funk says the subject is one that should
not be scoffed at. The spirit of Hodgson
is believed to have talked to Mrs. Piper
while she was in the trance state and
wrote what was said on sheets of paper
in Hyslop's presence. One message says
ut is delightful to go through the cool
ethereal atmosphere and shake off the
mortal body" The spirit said further
that during his effort to communicate
to the living he felt as if in stuffy at
mosphere or as if going into a place of
foul smells. DR.. Funk believes that we
are in the presence of "a scientific dem
onstration of future life," if Hyslop is
right about these messages being received.
He, Funk, has no doubt now that "in-
telligences foreign to our FIVE senses can
and do communicate with some of those
who are living in the flesh" But he is
not certain that they can and do identi-
fly themselves as those who once lived in
the flesh"

Thomas +. Little, the Democratic NOM
inee, running a shade behind Mayor
Dunno and losing to Mr.. McCabe by
15,414.
The battle was waged and won with
the entire country and no small part
of the world at large looking on with
intense interest and waiting the result
in suspense. The traction ordinances
carried in the election by nearly 10000.
A new charter for the city Of Chicago
is assured.
Frederick 4. Busse is the first execu-
of four years and likewise the first to
have the very profitable privilege of col
lecting $4,000 every twelve months for
his services. The issues between the Re
tinctly drawn as widely differing plat
form declarations could make them. Chief
est of the contentious was traction. The
Republicans declared for the adoption Of
the ordinances as passed by the City
Council over the veto of Mayor Dunno,
while the Democrats urged their defeat.
In 1902 Mr.. Busse was elected Treas
urer of Illinois and in December, 1905,
was commissioned as postmaster of Chi
cagO by President Roosevelt. 1t is a
rather remarkable thing in the history of
mayoral campaigns in Chicago that the
Republican candidate made no speech of
acceptance to the convention which nomi-
mated him. nor uttered spoken word to
the electorate during the campaign. Bat
tered up in a wreck on the Pennsylvania
limited, which claimed the lives Of a num-
Der of his fellow passengers, Candidate
Busse was lying in bed severely injured
when named as the standard bearer Of his
party.

overcame a plurality of 24,51S by which
Edward L. Dunno defeated John NJ.

The total vote on Mayor, according
to the police returns, was 335,901, out

candidate, polled 13,469 and w. A.

received 5.S75. The Socialists stood a
net loss of nearly 1000 from the figures
Of two years ago, while the Prohib
tlOnists almost doubled the vote for
Oliver w. Stewart in 1908.
John f. Traeger was the one Demo-
crat to be elected. He was chosen city
treasurer by a plurality of 1888 over
Gen. Edw. C. Young. John r. McCabe,
Republican, was elected city clerk.

ROADS WOULD COST BILLIONS.
Government Could Assume Control,
but at Great Price.

The growing interest in government
control and ownership of railroads has
led officials in Washington to make some
estimates as to the cost and methods by
which such ends might be reached. Here
are some conclusions:
1t will cost the government in the neigh
borhood of S16,24400O.O0O to buy the
railroads. That is. this is the CONNER
cial value of the whole railway plant. in
Guiding terminals, depots and all appurte-
nances, as estimated BY the United States
census.
The government has the constitutional
power now to assume control and owner
ship of the roads. This was demonstrat-
ed in the case of the Panama road, where
the government condemned the stock and
paid fair market value for it.
In order to buy the railway ystem Of
this country it is only necessary for the
government to appraise the property and
then to issue government securities in
exchange for the private securities now
standing against these properties.
There would be no real drain on the
United States treasury. The government
would simply start its printing presses
and print the necessary $16,24, 100000
worth of bonds; then these would be is
sued in exchange for the private securi-
ties, which would be destroyed. Amy dis
pute as to valuation would be settled by
condemnation proceedings.
Then Congress would probably have to
create another cabinet officer, Secretary
of Railways. He would run the railroads
OF the country just as the Postmaster
General runs the Postofice Department
When Switzerland decided to take over
its railroads few years ago, the govern
ment concluded to pay for them on the
basis of twenty-five times the average net
earnings for a period of twenty years.
This was easily determined in that coun-
try, owing to the fact that the accounts
of the railways had been under strict gov
ernmental supervision for that period.
