Not long ago it was announced
throughout the country that all ticket
brokers in the United States had been
put out OF business. On top of this
comes the news from Chicago that
tifty-four of such brokers have been
temporarily restrained by judge
Kohlsaat from pursuing their calling.
The suppression of the ticket brokers
business is about on a par with the
dissolution of the paper trust.

The new immigration law calls for a
head tax of four dollars on every
alien who lands in this country. And
yet this does not decrease the influx of
southern Europe's paupers to whom
four dollars in American money is a
small fortune. Then the question
arises, where do they obtain the four
dollars and where do they obtain their
passage money? The answer is:
Americans employ them contrary to
the contract labor law, pay their ex-
penses to this country and deduct the
amount so paid from their wages.

If Judge Lindsey of Denver is to be
believed-he has the reputation of be-
ing an upright judge-Colorado is a
sadly debauched state. He saws:
"Colorado is politically rotten and
getting constantly worse. The state
is absolutely in the hands of the
criminal rich. These men have stolen
millions from the people and have
outraged the principles of govern
ment. Their crimes are driving the
people of both parties into socialism

From statistics of the forest service
report it is gathered that $50, 900, 900
poles are required annually for the
construction of telegraph, telephone
and electric light lines and the re-
placement of poles that have become
useless from decay and other causes.
AS it is necessary to fell a tree for
every pole it is clearly seen that
sufficient trees are annually used for
this purpose to make a vast forest.

The most drastic antitrust act en-
acted in any state has gone into effect
in Texas. It provides, in substance,
that any person who represents as
agent, or sells goods made by a trust
or combine, shall be deemed guilty of
a felony and, upon trial and convic-
ton, shall be punished by confinement
in the penitentiary for from two years
to ten years. Its provisions apply to
all merchants who sell trust-made
goods and all persons who may be
directly in the employ of such con-
Germs in this state.-News Item.
If Texas is as largely controlled bv
the trusts as are other parts of the
country its inhabitants will soon be
running naked and starving to death.

MAKES THEM SELF-RELIANT

Chlldren Have Much to Gain by Attend
ing Good Schools Away from Home.
There is whole lot of good sense
in the subjoined article from the Min
neapolis Tribune:
In the early fall when parents are
parting for the first time from their
children and speeding them on their
way to boarding schools hundreds of
miles away, many Of them have
mingled feelings. The dominant note
is OF course regret at the parting but
beneath this is the fear that the arrav
OF new responsibilities and problems
so soon to confront them cannot be
met without the parental control and
guidance that perforce cannot be
given them.
But the months slip by, response
bilities and problems are met one bv
one, perhaps not always wisely, but
with any kind of experience comes
wisdom and nine months later the
child comes back developed, broad
ened, matured in so many new ways
that the change sometimes is startling,
IL hate to think that my child is
better for being away from me and
that any kind of influence can be
better than the home inf1uences," said
a certain mother, "but truly one
year of school life away did more for
my child than years of training at
home and it was the necessity of in
dependent thinking and deciding that
accomplished it,"
The first few weeks or even months
are hard, for with them comes the in
evitable inconsistencies, but once con-
quered it proves the most valuable
lesson of the year.
First there are the physical advan-
tages to be considered, the regular
hours and carefully selected meals
that make for the best of health and
most normal physical condition as
compared with the irregularities al
lowed and condoned in the average
family household.
The independence acquired, the
necessity for self suficiency that is
part of the life cannot be overesti-
mated. The pupils must make their
own decisions on questions that
hitherto they shifted to their parents
and they soon acquire a Judgment
and standard of their own that is in
despensable. This extends itself to
every part of their school life and
especially to the choosing of their
friends.
And herein lies one of the greatest
difficulties and withal one of the
greatest tests of boarding school
pupil. He must form some associa-
tlons, for the pupil is thrown in init
mate contact with so many people
and often the very feeling that he
must make his own choice guides him
rightly.
For the pupils who live in small
towns school life in another town
oroadens them by taking them out of
their narrow little sphere. If they
have lived in a material atmosphere
the tendency is to place higher value
upon the higher things of life for
them.
The social training of any board
ing school is highly important.
Parents are all too prone to be lax
about small courtesies, questions of
etiquette that are absolutely demanded
in good boarding school. Then,
too, adaptability to persons and cir
cumstances is learned, not always
with the least resistance either.

At a meeting of the National Educa.

At a meeting of the National Educa-

week it was decided to resume the
spelling of the words Through, -
Though" and thorough in the
standard style. This move is to be
commended, though it would have
been far better had the association
voted to abolish the mutilated style of
spelling altogether. However this is
the entering wedge toward the eventual
attainment of that end.

Small farms make homes for more
people. Every family is worth a GER
tain price to the community. No
matter how small the family or how
few acres that family cultivates, every
business interest in the adjoining city
Or town is benefited by the trade added
every week throughout the year.
Families must produce something and
consume something. The merchants
get double profits on all those families
IN buying their products and selling
them necessities. More business
means greater accumulations Of
wealth, better houses and improved
highways. The state and county
benefits from increased taxes, and the

assuming them TO be such, prescribes his
pills and potiOns. In reality, they are all
only symptoms caused by some uterine

cause OF suffering, encourages this prac-
tice until large bills are made. The euf-

The Two Cent Rate In Practice.

1t is probably fortunate that there is
Il difference in opinion as to the advls-
ability of making fiat two cent rate
Of fare on all the passenger railroads
of the country. Local conditions vary
widely, according to density of populN-
ton, closeness of competition In the
territory and other factors In opera
ton. A rate which is profitable and
even increases business by its cheap
ness in populous region may be un-
fair and unbusinesslike in a district
less favored.
1t Is being argued that the two cent
rate long In existence on the New York
Central road has built up thriving
cities along the line. But this road al
ways had very profitable carrying
business between the lakes and sea
board to even up Its low passenger
rates. What is wanted is a rate to en-
able the operating companies to live
and Increase their facilities for serving
the public. Rate regulation should be
dealt with after due investigation of
the needs and conditions in any par
ticular stretch of country involved.
