at the Sediments house. 1t was Also a
week of revelations She was now
alive to the fact that, despite her IA
ther's wealth, her liberal education, her
Years abroad, she knew little or moth
ing of the great mystery of life.
Katherine had plunged into settle
ment work most impulsively directly
after her quarrel with Arnold Gresh-
am. If war had been in progress she
felt sure she would have gone out as a
field nurse. She had thought seriously
of entering a nunnery, but, being a
Protestant this would have taken time,
and at that particular moment Kath-
crime did not want time to hang heay-
lily on her hands. She wanted action,
and different action from the usual
round of teas, dances and dinners.
Moreover, she wanted action apart
from the world where she would meet
Arnold Gresham, and, somewhat bit
terly, she remarked TO her tear stained
image in the dressing table mirror that
unquestionably Arnold never would
ind time to visit a Settlement housel
Neither wealth nor careful chaperon-
age had been able to protect Katherine

Cupid. Heretofore the wealth at least

sired, but 1t could not buy the slavish

Coupled with the disconcertlng tes-

Coupled with the disconcerting tes-
timony of Hartman, comes the COM
plant of C. S. Mellen, railroad presi-
dent, that the new rate law is punitive
rather than protective. Between the
two one begins to see dimly that the
railroad question is far from settled.
If the railroad presidents are content
neither to use the new law nor to de-
part from the old practice, the remedy
must be more and more drastic law, or
the wiping out of private ownership.
What the railroad men do not appear
to be able to see is that the people,
having put their hand to the pillow,
will not turn back. They will give pri-
vate ownership fair trial. but no rail-
road president need imagine for a
moment that the people would not as
soon go forward to the unknown perils
of government ownership as back to
the humiliations of the private own
ership of the past, tO-wit, the very
kind about which Mr.. Hartman teS-
titles with such hardihOod.

SPOONER REFUSES HARTMAN
Wisconsin Senator Could Have Had
Chief CounseIship,

WASHINGTON, d. c., March T.
Senator Spooner declared he would
not become counsel for E. H. Harri-
man or the latter's vast railroad sys-
tenn.
1t is understood that Hartman, find
ing Senator Spooner "at liberty and
being in need of the best legal talent
he could procure. was ready to offer
the retiring statesman practically any
sum he might name. either as retain
er or as yearly salary, for his services.
There was a feeling Of great relief
among Senator SpOoner's colleagues
when they We're given assurance that
ne would not yield to any tempting Of
fers from Hartman While it was rec
ognized that he could give his services
to any client he might choose, it was
felt that his acceptance Of such a po-
sitiOn would reflect against the senate
and in measure sustain the charges
and insinuations of corporation predi-
lectiOns in that body.

The announcement of the coming
of Chcagos musical comedy wonder,

the Keylor Grand on Saturday, March
8, should create pleasurable anticipa-

will especially appeal to lovers OF

HARRIMA AN AND BRYAN.

The testimony of E. H. Hartman
before the interstate commission has
probably done more to dignity the
issue of government ownership of rail-
roads raised by w. j. Bryan, than any
other one thing that could have hap
pened. The public was inclined to
treat Mr.. Bryan'S remarks on his re-
turn to this country as further evil
dence that the democratic leader was
too shallow to be trusted with the
presidency. 1t was put down, along
with his radicalsm on the money uues-
ton, as indicating mind economi-
cally unsound, and Mr.. Bryan lost
prestige very rapidly. The public, in
jumping so hard upon Mr.. Bryan,
had evidently overlooked the fact that
he had just come from a tour of Eu-
rope, where the very system of rail-
road management which he advocated
is in practice. In Germany the i'm
perial government owns and operates
a number of through lines, while the
different states own many connecting
branch lines. Government ownership
of railroads is spreading in Europe. 1t
prevails in Austria, where the zone
system of tariffs has also obtained
vogue Russia has built and is operat-
ing her own railroad lines
1t is true the government in these
countries is military in character and
the ownership of railroads was first
thought of in connection with the ma
tional defense. However, that was
merely an incident. says the Minneap-
oils Journal. The governments, having
taken over the railroads, were under
the necessity of making them pay Mr.
Bryan observed these things in Eu-
rope, and while he was not the first
man who had done so, ne was the first
political leader who attempted to
transplant the idea and set it before
the American people as an ISSUE
1t would have remained chimera of
the Nebraska system of political econ
omy without Hartman, but plus Har-
riman it is discussed with soberness
by such men as Henry M. Whitney of
Boston. who cannot be accused of be-
ing either western or woolly

walton in his automobile, but no trace
of the missing soldiers was found.
Then came the order to turn out all
the troops under arms for a prolonged
hunt. Up to a late hour this after
noon the men had not been found.
Green is the soldier who fell out OF
the ranks a few weeks ago while his
troop was passing along Main street
on a hike. He was found later in Rose
alley trying to feed his horse peanuts.
In the courtmartial that followed he
was found guilty and sentenced to two
years at Alcatraz. The reviewing
board cut the sentence down to one
year.
Sympathy for Green was expressed
all through the command as it was felt
his sentence was excessive, especially
in view of the fact that his term OF
enlistment expired in q days. 1t is
believed the sentry, Russell, allowed
his sympathy to overcome his duty
and that he deserted when his priso-
ner was allowed to escape.

picked, If one may pardon the anarro-

moving tale of slavery days goes down
the corridors of time forever

body may not have seen Uncle Toms

appears and countless thousands laugh,
cry and applaud as though it We're a
new dramatic offering. Such is the
tenacious hold that drama has on the
affections of theatergoers when pro-
perly presented Poor versions Of this
play and poor Uncle Toms Cabin
companies have for years dotted the
sea of drama like so many active mar
inc carryalls. Most of them are long
since strewn along the shores of time
like SO may derelicts.
The Stetson company bears the repu-
tation of rara-avis among the pro-
auctions of this drama and wins the
very highest commentator. 1t is said
to dwarf all other productions of this
play, as the Hilmalayas dwarf MOLE

LIMITATION OF ARMAMENT.

There is marked reluctance on the
part of some of the powers that are to

States make it clear just what the
scope of the discussion they propose
is to be. His government does not
want to be taken unawares by any
coups or surprises. Meanwhile w. T..
Stead, the English altruist, has been
interviewing kings and premiers on
the other side of the question.
No one expects that it will be pos

a limitation of ornaments at this time,
