ROMANCE OF THE BIBLE HOUSE


From this huge building, in Astor
place, New York city, authority radi-
ates to the uttermost ends of the earth
Let the directors say the word, says
"The Chronicle" and cargoes of BIZ
bles, marvelously printed in the quaint
est and most barIerous of tongues, will
go on camels or elephants crashing
through the jungles of Africa and ST.
am; on queer little llamas over the
great passes of the Andes between
Bolivia and Peru; on the heads of the
cannibal coolies round about the base
Of the mountains of the Moon, near
the source of old Father Nile; on cam
elback across the burning deserts of
Nubia and Arabia the Stony, or in
aat-bottomed boats towed by man with
bamboo cables through the deep gorges
of the YangtZe river.

RYAN ON THE RAILROADS,
IT ,O11iCUi1lo Herald
IliSViIIn Herald !

Thomas F. Ryan, of New York and
Virginia, railroad magnate, has laid
down some important points concern
ing the railroad situation. These points
are we'll worthy of consideration:
The railroads are, says Mr.. Ryan,
really owned by the people and not by
Wall street brokers.
They should be taken out of Wall
street and stock quotation tickers
should be taken out of the railroad
Offices.
The railroad Offices and the practical
railroad men charged with the re-
sponsibility Of operating the railroads
should be in absolute control.
They should welcome every opportu-
nifty to confer with the president. aid
ing him in his efforts to reach a solu-
tion that will be fair and just to the
country and to the corporations and
insure strict obedience to the law.
AS to the taking of the railroads out
of Wall street the railway corporations
can at any moment effect it. Let them
do so and they will certainly achieve
a gain in public estimation, won by
a notable public service. About the
absolute control of railways by railroad
offices and practical railroad men no
objection can be taken provided that
the sO-called absolute control does not
interfere with the public veal The
president wants justice for the masses.
All that the railroads and other corpo-
rations are entitled to is a fair return
on their actual investments. The wa
tering of stocks is a dishonest prac-
tice and menace to the nations finan-
cial security. 1t should be put down
ineXOrably.
The president wants nothing but the
enforcement of law The law is above
everybody and not to be used by any
one class to the detriment of anoth-
er. The railroads are powerful They
have rights that ought to be and that
shall be respected, but their very worst
enemy is he who seeks to array the
railroad interest against the peoples
cause. Railroads prosper when the
people prosper. All real prosperity is
based on jusice.

NEW FIND FOR FARMERS.

Michigan farmers received $4,000 900
for the sugar beets they raised in
1906. Ten years ago there was not a
beet-root sugar factory in that state
Now there are sixteen, with a yearly
output of $4,000 tons of sugar, worth
nearly $9,OO0,OOO. OF this vast sum the
farmers get half.
