THE RAID ON THE RAILROAD.

with the increasing agitation on the
subject of corporations 1t was only
natural that attention should be at
tracted to the railroads and their sup
posed delinQuencies and violations OF
law. And that this should be intensi-
fed II not inaugur8ted by the attl-
tude and utterances OF Mr.. Roosevelt
was easy to foretell. But 1t certainly
was hardly to be expected that there
should be general disposition
throughout the country to attack them
by legislative enactment and inquiry
to the extent we have witnessed.
We are In sympathy with the people
first and always, but we do not for
get that the railroads are the people
in peculiar sense. Agriculture aside
we suppose that there is no industry
which occupies and maintains so great
a proportion Of our population as the
railroads and whatever Affects these
must inevitably and soon affect all
the employees. So that adverse legis-
latlon must OF necessity be felt at

ton be destructive or even radical
In character the consequences must be
serious.
To fight corporations and especially
railroads Is cheap. Any small politi-
clan can do that since 1t is popular at
present but the statesman easily sees
that to cripple this great industry is
not In the nature OF progress but of
retrogression. That 1t Is not In the
interest Of the people but more like
ly OF other corporations and possibly
that the forceful influence behind all
the movement Is really the desire to
profit by the manipulation of stocks.
We are not in the interest OF the
railroads; We enjoy no special favors;
no passes annual or otherwise and
hence we speak impartially; we are
able to do this, and thus speaking We
unhesitatingly say that we have no
sympathy with the present wide and
far-reaching movement against the
railroads and that we believe that in
whatever measure their real prosperity
is affected by this political and manu-
factured tempest, 1t will. to that extent.

One reason that there are so many

Women have great times with their
hair. If they visit In a dry climate
they are sure to say when they come
home: my hair acter lovely; it did
not come out of curl at ALL" If they
go where 1t is damp they say when
they come home: at was the worst
place for hair; my hair was as straight
as a string all the time" Once in
three or four weeks they wash their
hair and then tell each other how
they cannot do thing with their hair,
as 1t has just been washed. For a
week or two before 1t Is washed they
say 1t is disgrace they do not
wash their hair; that 1t is SO sticky
they cannot do thing with It. The
women are always telling each other
low, or else they would not be seen
with II done high. Their hair is either
all coming out or else they cannot
imagine what has happened. but 1t is
coming in thick and lovely" AS they
walk down the street the women are
forever reaching for their back hair
and catching up short locks with hair
pins, or feeling to see IL their hair
is coming down. When they get In
front of mirror the very first thing
the women look at is their hair and
twitch it one way or the other. No
