TESTING TIE TRo.CENT BATE.

The reduction in interstate passenger rates on
Western railroads is to go into effect today
and from now on the Legislators of those states
which have passed two-ccnt fare laws with
their families and constituents, will be able to
reap the benefit Of their labors for we assume
that mono Of these trans-A Allegheny solons have
ever compromised themselves by the acceptance
Of passes. Those states which have led In the
movement are Arkansas, Missouri, Nebraska
Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota, while Wisconsin
unless the railroads carry the matter into the
courts, will be admitted into the circle on
August II, although in that state the railroad
commission, after careful and presumably i'm
partial consideration, declared that the business
would be Improbable at the proposed rate
In connection with the two-cent fare move
ment it IS interesting to note the difference
between the attitude Of the Western lines gen
orally and that of the Eastern lines When
density OF population is considered, it would
appear that the Eastern states. especially New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, should
cffer greater hope of profit on the two-cent basis
than the more spersely settled states of the
West; yet we find that road which is possibly
favored above all others in the matter Of pas
sengar traffic the Pennsylvania Railroad, fight
ing stinly against the proposed regulation in
the keystone State, and presenting figures to
show that such a reduction would create def
icit on the books of the passenger department,

In promoting Charles s. Whitman from the
Office OF city magistrate to a seat In the Court
Of General Sessions Governor Hughes has acted
wisely. Judge Whitman has distinguished HIM
self by intelligent zeal in reforming many
abuses in the municipal judicial system, not the
least important Of his progressive measures
being the new night police court bill. which no
drew UP and pushed through. While Judge
whitman deserves tho honor OF the higher ap-
pointment perhaps the city IS losing by his
transfer. Tho Board Of city Magistrates needs
wise and progressive men.

had engaged extensively in target practice within
the last few months. 1t would seem, therefore,
that the Georgia's experience was exceptional

ENJOYMENT REQUIRES UNDERSTAND
1No-A reporter tired and warm,
complained to Walter Egan, on the
Euclid links in Cleveland, that he
thought golf stupid.
You find golf stupid, eh?"
With a mighty drive the Chicago
golfer sent the small ball flying tre-
mendous distance toward the little
faraway red flag. Then as he strobe
on over the fresh turf he said:
You only find golf stupid because
you don't understand it. You haven't
mastered it. You remind me Of a GER
tain Hottentot.
Two white men in Africa laid out
for themselves a nine-hole course, and
here in the wilds morning after morn
ing they played, though the sun was
hot and though the dry and sandy
soil left them almost continually In
the bunkers.
We'll. the Hottentot watched the
two white men golfins for several
days. Silent and absorbed he follow
ed them indefatigably over the yellow
course. Then he disappeared.
Where had he gone? The white
men, missing him, laughingly made
search. They found him at last far
out in the burning desert.
The naked Hottentot stood alone
in the burning desert, whacking away
at large stone with great war club
and shouting fiercely:
Hang 1t! Hang it""-Washing-

INCORPORATING FARMS.
A Nebraskan Has an Idea of Reaching
the Small Investor.

A new idea in the line Of stock pro-
motion, says a Lincoln, Neb., corre-
spondent, has been evolved by an alb
stractor in York. 1t is to incorporate
Nebraska farms. The first incorpora-
ton of this character on record in Ne
braska, was filed this week, when the
Cedarbank farm of York county, sub
mitted articles to the secretary OF
state. The capital stock is placed at
$4,000, divided into shares Of 500
each. All Of the issue is owned by
the parties to whom the farm came as
an estate-M. A. Welch and r. A.
Miller of Philadelphia, and Mary w.
Miller Of Nance county. These three
fill the offices of president, secretary
and treasurer, and together constitute
the board of directors.
The abstractor who completed this
deal has improved upon it. He has
secured options on several farms In
that section, where lands bring from
$50 to $50 an acre, and he proposes to
float a stock proposition with the
shares placed at some small sum, $40
or $25. He believes that this will meet
the demand that exists on the part of
the people to invest in farm land. For
six years there has been a steady rise
in the price Of farms, due to the good
crops and the desire shown by city
men Of affairs and others to own agri-
cultural areas Prices have reached
the point now where the ordinary man
cannot hope to buy any sized farm as
farms go In the west. Arguing from
these facts the men with the idea
think such a stock company would be
easily fioated If assurances could be
given that the management Of the bus
mess would be in capable hands. The
necessary money to buy the farms will
come from the proceeds Of the stock
sales, and the capital needed to ope-
rate it may be raised by bond issue,
in which form a good many farm
mortgages have recently been issued
by the loan companies that have many
small investors as customers.
