that both press and people stand by the railroads and aid aud en- courage them in every way possi- ble to find the money needed for building many thousand miles of new track. for double-,rlcking single lines and for ordering cars and locomotives so far ahead as to nuke certain that new locomotives aud car works will be established to meet this demand.
 Under these conditions il be- hooves the whcle country to rccog- ni1c that this is not time for au- tlgonism against railroads. It is )t Il time To dcnounce them and their officers. The time is passed for destructive criticism. and now con. struction work should be the order Of the day, or else, just as sure as l. the certainty that tomorrow $ sun will rise. we shall see breaking down of our railroad interests and general collapse of business in tlc not very distant future.
 Then when million or more men are walking the streets vainly looking for work. and when pros. perity has fled and poverty rules the land. we shall bemoan our ia. tal blunder; but it will be too late. Such Il breakdown in business would cost Us more billions than are needed for railroad develop ment to prevent such collapse. Unwise agitation against railroads, whether from ignorance or from perverted demagogues seeking the favor of the public, may ruin the railroads. but, like the temple of old, as they go down business in- terests without this pillar of sup port will crnmble in the wreck
 A story of this sitation should awaken the people of the whole country to realization of the fact that the quickest and broadest de- velopment possible Of the transpor tation interests of the whole coun- try, into which billions must be poured, is the only means for the maintainanee of our present busi- ness prosperity. Self-preservation demands that the people of the country shall understand the perils which We face.
 For these reasons I am glad that you have put the whole ease so strongly before the public, and trust that the railroads and people may soon come to know each other better and recognize that there is a mutuality of interests in the pres ent and for the future, whatever may have been the conditions of the past. and through this under standing make possible the raising of the new capital essential not on ly to the railroads, but just as as- sential, if we are to enjoy contin- ued activity on the farm and in in dustrial lines, to the whole coun- try. We are at a crucial period demanding the laying aside of all passion and hostility and meeting on the common ground of self.in- terest.

If the Legislature had the power to force railroad building as well as the power to prevent 1t, perhaps the country might get a few more railroads. But since the Legislature is short i'll this respect we opine that it will be sometime before Arkansas wiil get much more railroad building. We may be wrong but We certainly think the pres ent war on railroads, by the Legislature, is inopportane and hurtlul to the State.

TEDDY BEARS TREMBLE
SCHOOL TEACHERS DECLARE
GIRLS SHOULD RETURN TO DOLLS.
Furry, Stuffed Pets Don't Encourage
Little Ones to Learn to Sew
as Dolls Do.
Special Correspondence OF The Star.

Especial correspondence OF i ne STAR.
NEW YORK. July 10. 1907
The hundred thousand Teddy Bears in the
metropolis are on the verge OF panic.
Though the nature-faking controversy left
them unscathed. newer and greater peril
confronts them School teachers are de-
claring that the Teddy Bear Is a menace
and must be abolished. and though the
board OF education has taken no official
action in the matter. and Is not likely to,
the agitation against the Teddies In edu-
catfonal circles is growing very strong
indeed.
The crusade against the Teddy Bear
started recently. when a clerical gentleman
came out with the statement that In re-
placing the doll. the bear was pernicious
substitute. For. while the doll appealed to
all the maternal instincts of little girl
and develoned them along healthy and nat
ural lines. the Teddy Bear did no such
thing
Now the teachers have Joined the fight
Little girls. they point out formerly got
their first lessons in sewing through the
natural desire to provide their dolls with
pretty clothes. The Teddy Bear however
does no wear clothes. save possibly a rib
bon or sweater or cap and so the up-to-
date child who has discarded her dollies
for the intrusive bruin. has no incentive to
learn to stitch and make button holes.
The Teddy Bear Is not good for little
girls said Miss Jane G. Close, super
visory teacher Of sewing in the New York
schools. The bear Is keeping the children
from the pleasure of caring for doll. He
can't wear pretty frocks and dainty under
wear. and the little girl who has him for a
pet gets no incentive to make these things
Hence she loses the education involved In
choosing. making. handling and caring for
dainty garments The Teddy Bear Is all
right for boys. but not for girls"
Teachers furthermore point out that they
have other troubles In teaching children to
do things for themselves. because OF the
modern ready-made sort of existence Peo-
pie do not darn and mend old clothes: they
throw them away. But the teachers are
trying to revive the interest in domestic
art among children. and the local university
summer school Is devoting much attention
to this
Meanwhile the fate of the Teddy Bear
hangs In the balance, while the teachers
decide whether he Is a menace to childhood
And from thousands of nursery shelves the
great legion Of forsaken dolls. from the
great faxen- haired wax creations with
blue eyes that open and close and cherry
lips that say papa" and mama" to the
raggedast rag dolls. watch the controversy
with keen citation. for perhaps 1t may result

Behind the Mask.
From Harper's Weekly.


1t is depressing thing to watch the
faces that hurry past one on the street.
To jostle ones kind on the thoroughfares
and In the shops Is to see humanity at it's
lowest ebb. The faces are overeager
strained. anxiety-ridden, or drab futile
lack-luster, and weary. and one lnvolunta-
rily asks: why do they go on living?
What object makes this duh driving worth
while?" Outwardly. specifically, there is
but little sign of the love of life. the joy of
being. the exultation of existence. 1t Is a
dull panorama, this endless stream of tired
people. mostly ugly and disfgured by the
exigencies of their tasks. They seem all
to have worn off the bloom OF life by the
unhalting struggle. They bear the marks
OF living in yesterday or tomorrow. and this
moment Is but a dull thud of time to be
endured while they press on to another
moment no better than this one. 1t is In
the far-away behind us or in the great to
be that JOY is hidden, and one by one the
moments drip by unheeded, ungrasped and
untreasured
There would seem to be too many of u.s.
too. In this great undifferentiated mass of
people all unsming. silent. giving out
nothing. but each one hurrying along. eager
to attain some goal, and pushing toward it
as If harried by an invisible throng
What an experience 1t would be, what an
enlivening and enriching experience it
would be, to peer behind the ugly mask.
and see what lay back of the stupid haste
and seemingly useless activity! II one
were free to call halt to any one and de-
mand that he deliver up for our enlighten-
ment the heart of his motive and his deem
hidden desire. what significance would be
added 20 the scene. If for a moment one
might but play the part of the fairy In the
old tales and grant each man a single wish
what a strange insight one would gain into
the life beneath the dull appearance,
