jolt for Federal railways.

Government and State ownership of
railroads, as advocated in socialist bill
now before the Legislature, was given
mortal blow Wednesday. The report of
the committee on transportation decides
that government control and regulation
are more practicable than government
ownership. Among the reasons given for
this view are That under it railways
can be more economically managed; that
a more efficient service will be rendered
the public; that needed extensions and
new lines are more apt to be bnuilt; that
both passenger and freight rates will be
much cheaper; that better wages will be
paid to railway employees that railway
employees will not become part of huge
political machine, but will remain in their
natural sphere; that government owner
ship is repugnant to a Republican form
of government. and is hardly a proper
function for any government to perform.

SAY "show Me!, ON Tights BIN.


The members of the Wisconsin Assem-
bly, may not be from Missouri, but they
belong to the ''show me" class. This was
demonstrated when the Hughes anti
tights bill, requiring actresses and ballet
dancers to wear skirts falling at least
four inches below their knees when APP
pearing in public, came up for considera-
ton. The measure was referred to the
judiciary committee, with the recommend
alton that it be referred to the commit
tee on claims, with instructions to amend
it so as to provide an appropriation suf-
ficient to employ a troupe of actresses,
thirty chorus girls and 100 ballet dancers
to give demonstration showing the pres
ent musical comedy method of dress aud
the method prescribed by the bin, before
the committee on public health and sani-
tation. The plan created much amuse-
ment, and the bill was referred amid loud
laughter.

Grating Fruit Trees in Germany.
Consul General Richard Guenther, of
Frankfort, reports movement among
German fruit growers for the purpose
of getting rid of all inferior and medi
UNI fruit trees and replacing them with
the finest kind and best suited to the
climate A leading fruit-growing and
horticultural journal published at
Frankfort-on-the-0 Oder, has devoted a
number of essays to the subject, and
has shown that the desired re-ult can
be achieved, even with very old trees,
by grating, and the simple stock or slit
grating is especially recommended. In
Switzerland many thousands Of old
fruit trees are annually regrafted in or
der to better meet the demands Of the
trade. In the Rhenish Province of
Prussia a systematic regrafting of the
fruit trees is going on. expert grafters
being employed at fixed contract rates.

STATE MUST PAY THE CASH FOR
SN0H0M|SH REFORMAT0RY SITE

THE custom of trade should in no
way effect the authority given to a
public agent since the principle of os-
tensible authority of agents cannot
be applied to the state and it's officers.
Such officers have only such powers
as are given them by law. Even
though power of the officer should be
affected by custom of trade, we know
of no custom or practice of the pub
lie officers of this or other states au-
thorized to purchase land for the state
which they represent, of making such
purchases upon credit or extended
payments.
Applying the principle of law
above set forth the commission and
board of control are, by the state re-
formatOry act, given power to pur-
chase a site for such institution. and
to construct the necessary buildings
thereon. They are given the sum Of
100000 to carry out the provisions OF
such act. They are therefore furnish
ed with funds with which to purchase
the site in question, and according to
law of agency above announced, they
must pay for the same in cash and
are not authorized to make an agree
ment for the payment of the same by
extended payments.

when two men sent out by the COM

Glacier basin. They had great Difficult
ty in locating the cabin and when at
last they found it, it was a mass of
ruins covered with snow and ice.

supplies left it is thought the cabin
was wrecked early in January. The
body of the boy was pinned to the earth
beneath a beam and the bodies of the
men were found near by. The three
were sent out by the company early
last fall to do development work dur
ing the winter on copper property.
Another party of men has been sent
to Glacier basin to get the bodies,
which will be carried so miles over a
