most important OF all--the matter OF

claimed for IT, threatens to revolu-

Means Immense Saving.
According to the estimates made
for the New York hackers OF the
project. four-track, elevated line,
such as 1t is proposed to build be-
tween Jersey City and Newark, can
be constructed for $4,000 per mile.
To build a four-track elevated road,
similar to the present elevated system
in this city. would cost 100000 per
mile. This does not include the cost
of power or equipment-only the
structure and tracks.
The projectors OF the new enter
prise figure upon building the eight
miles of elevated track between Jer-
sey City and Newark for 100000.
To build the ordinary type of elevated
road. with four tracks, would cost be-
tween $7,OO0,OO0 and SS.000,000. 1t
is this cheapness of cost which in
spires the hackers of the enterprise
to hope that they will reap tremen-
dous profits, and that the success of
this initial road between the two Jer-
sey cities will be followed quickly by

be criminal must contain the ele- ment of wrong within itself; and anything which is lawful and right on six days of the week cannot be transformed into crime on Sunday. For instance, it is just as wrong to steal on Monday as on Sunday. It is just as wrong to slander my neighbor, fire his house or give him beating on any other day as on Sunday, but will some of the wise men tell us why it is crime to be punished by the magistrate to blow corn on Sunday, or sell my neighbor food or clothing, the very things l have been doing the previous six days?
 The Rev. E. P. Powell, as report ed in the Literary Digest of August r. commenting on Sun day legislation, says: It simply is impossible to create a one-day morality. What is right on Satur. day is right on Sunday. When re ligious people give up this whole impossibility, and insist that wick ed thing shall not be done on any day and righs thing shall be done every day, they have a basis for law and order that can be enforced. If whisky peddling is a crime on Sun day it is on Monday" "The en- forcement of Sunday laws," he says
 amounts merely to putting the handcuffs on for one day, and then taking them off for six"
 True. If whisky selling be a wrong, and believe it to be a great wrong, then there should be no compromise with it, but to seek for Sunday closing looks good deal like saying: If you will close on Sunday, we will say nothing about it the rest of the week"
 In the name of equal rights and religious liberty let us attend to our own affairs, and keep our hands of of others liberties. Respectfully,
 L. w. Felter.

The Forests and Trusts.

There still remains something or the public domain. A portion q this is occupied by our National Forests. Other portions are occu- pied by coal lands. Shall we be wise in time and retain these coal lands for the benefit of the whole people, or shall we permit them, too, to pass into the hands of trusts which, whes another coal famine comes, may charge us what the market will bear? The experience of Falelde' the town in Norway where all taxes are paid by the earnings of It's for ests, presages eloquently the possl' bilities of our National Forests, as timber slaughter on privately owned forests continues and the price oi lumber and all lumber products scars aloft like the Fourth of July balloon. Who, then, will not com mend the wisdom which has con served so much, at least, of oui National heritage for the benefit oi the people throughout all time Forestry and Irrigation.

Emergency Cooling.

It sometimes happens on warm afternoons that the supply of ice fails and the butter softens. Try this method of keeping it hard: Place large earthenware bowl on the kitchen table, and in it place a small bowl upside down. On this inverted bowl put the butter dish containing sufficient butter for the next meal, wrapped in oiled paper, Over this spread a clean napkin, covering the small bowl and the edges resting on the bottom of the large bowl. Then fill the large bowl with fresh cold water up to the level of the butter plate. Put a heavy towel over the large bowl with the ends wrapped around it I've hours later you may remove the towel and the napkin (the latter now completely saturated with water), and the butter will be firm and hard. The napkin acts as a wick, and brings the cold water up to the butter, chilling and harden ing it. Woman's Home Companion for September.

Those Sunday Laws.

Editor Star:-ln recent issue of your paper is an editorial dealing in such a sensible and practical way with the much-agitated question of Sunday laws and their enforcement, that was made glad. Just why a thing which is perfectly civil, hon. est and legitimate in itself to be done on other days of the week, be- comes crime if done on Sunday, is pretty hard for some to understand. In fact it cannot be understood ex- cept from the hypothesis that man has a right to legislate in things religious.
 1 am fully persuaded that if the religious or Sabbatic idea were entirely eliminated from Sunday, there would not be a Sunday law in existence. The point is hardly de- batable one that Sunday laws are a relic of by-gone days, when a union of church and state was con sidered the proper thing; when the church presumed to prescribe each ones conduct in all the affairs of life.
 l am a believer in the gospel of Christ; and 1 believe we should remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy" and that we should keep it according to the commandment, :" but l believe this to be an individual matter, and that l have no right whatever to enforce my beliefs or practices on others. Does religion need the support of the civil law !? If I believe Sunday to be a holy day must have everybody compelled to keep it in order to keep it myself No, l will keep it as seems good to me. and grant my neighbor the same freedom
 The enforcement of Sunday laws makes honest labor and harmless crimes. and honest, quiet. civil men criminals. Anything to

MARRIED A GREEK POET.
Wealthy but Eccentric Miss Palmer of New York, Causes Gossip
 at Bar Harbor, Me.

Bar Harbor, Me, Sept 10---Mlss Eve'yna Palmer, daughter of hrs' Abl of New York, was married here Monday to Angelo Sikelianas, Greek who won recognition in 'an country for his poems and philosopnI cal writings The marriage v cauS'u' interas not orly because ot tne uu ion of the young American gni sn4 the Greek poet but because of tne sv cial prominence of the brides iam" and her own unconventional ideas
 Possessed of an independent iof'uu' in her own right, Miss Palmer pa. @ travelled much.

the hospital would be built in Mena.
 General Manager Coup phlin, who as head of the board of directors of the Hospital Association has had the work in charge, has never faltered in his desire to get the building started, but the knowledge that he was representing the association of hundreds of employees of the Kan sas City Southern, the expenditure of whose hard-earned money was in his hands, has at all times made him insistent that each step should be taken only when it had been proven to be right and safe.
 The obstacles seem, at last, to have been all overcome, and when the hospital is builded and stands in beautiful Stilwell park there will be great rejoicing among the thousands of men to whose industry it will be a monument, as well as to all Mena.
 The fight has been a long one, and when it is over Mena will owe a large debt of gratitude to those who have stood the brunt of the battle.

A Norway Town Without Taxes.

The town of Faleide, Norway imposes no taxes on it's lucky inhabi- tlnts," says the London, Eng, By stander. During the last thirty years the authorities at Faleide have sold over $5, 900, 900 worth of trees; and, by judicious replanting, have provided for similar income every thirty years. In consequence of this source of commercial wealth, there are no taxes in Faleide, and local railways and telephones are free, as well as education and drinks upon the kings birthday How Utopian the suggestion, at first blush, of a town without taxes !" Yet the explanation is simple. Instead of permitting all its forest lands to be- come private property, to be cut over, burned over. and converted into desert, this town has simply retained an area for it's own use,

KANSAS IN LINE NOW.

The Board of Railway Commission. CTS for Kansas has ordered the rail roads of that state to put in effect the 2-cent passenger rate October l.
 This has been brought about after one of the hardest fights between the people of the state and the rail roads that has thus far occurred in the efforts being made to reduce railroad passenger rates.
 The Kansas legislature discussed the 2-cent rate at about the same time the question was up in the Missouri. Nebraska and Arkansas bodies, but the railroads of Kansas, by the aid of their attorneys and certain newspapers, succeeded in preventing the enactment of the law.
 When, however, the people of Kansas saw the 2-cent rate working smoothly in neighboring common wealths, the pressure became too great to longer withstand, and Governor Hoch called upon the rail- way commissioners to act.
 It is probable that the lawmakers who aligned themselves against the lower rate will have an interesting time when the voters get another turn at them.

Arkansas and Its Resources.

Arkansas, the state which contains as much wealth as can be found in any state in the Union, is giving up her timber, coal, gas, apples, cotton, corn, potatoes and many other things just as rich, and in return her people are receiving riches.
 There is no limit to the wealth these commodities will produce, and no one was looking for anything that would promise greater returns; but now diamonds have been added to the other natural wealth-pro- ducers of Arkansas.
 Expert diamond hunters have for several years had an eye on this state, and those familiar with the formations in which diamonds are found contend that in various sec tions of Arkansas there are dia- mond fields yet undiscovered.
 Pearls have brought thousands of dollars to Arkansas pearl-hunters and while there are diamonds to be found here the pearl-fishers will not be lured from a productive field until more diamonds have been pro- duced. Pike and Yell counties are to be congratulated upon their diamond discoveries, and they may become the center of diamond mines. .-News-Record.

POOR CAPTIVE.

 Placid and pale the moonbeams play; The stars shine brightly on the bay;
 The breeze is mute. Strange steals pleasure mix d with fes I While from the distance faint hear
 A lute. And sounds as of captive lone, Who mourns her woes in tongue un-
 known
 A nightingale. With long and measured notes carol A sad. sweet song to wake a soul
 Before the gale. Nor of theme less solemn tells That mighty surge that ebbs and swells
 On high. To you 1 sing song of woe, And how chanced to 'scape my foe,
 With sigh. Gladly I furl my weary wings; To this blue southern sky l sing,
 My mate. Nearer l see the port expand The shore! I'll build my nest on land,
 Though late. In fiuttering sounds like laughter hoarse took my flight changed my course
 Was captured. My voice was like the tempest's moan My cries were shrill like rendering
 groan-
 Was tortured. Shivered my voice and broke it's chord l would not sing my head was lower'd
 Who'd pass me by2 Then freed, flew to southern climes And thought perchance of happier times
 But no reply. For in my flight across the stream 1 heard captive's scream
 Of fear. Twas my poor mate, loved so long; His sad'ning moans gave vent to song
 So dear. As from the ground he strove to start A traitors arrow found his heart--
 We part. Upward he cast his dizzy eyes; My name he murmured- then he dies
 1t broke my heart. And oft when moon and ocean slept, This poor bird sat and wept and wept
 A mournful cry. Now mute her song and tuneful strain The sweet notes gone-the cold remain,
 And die.

The Debt We Owe to Books.

Of all the privileges we enjoy in this Nineteenth century there IS none, perhaps, for which we ought to be more thankful than for the easier access of books.
 The debt we owe to books was we'll expressed by Richard de Bury, bishop of Durham, author of "Philo- biblon," written as long ago as l344, and the earliest English treatise on the delights of literature.
 These" he says, are the masters who instruct us without rods and ferrules, without hard words and an- ger, without clothes or money. If you approach them, they are not asleep; if Investigating you lntero- gate them, they conceal nothing; if you mistake them, they never grum- ble; if you are ignorant, they can not laugh at you. The library, therefore, of wisdom is more pre- cious than all riches. and nothing that can be wished for is worthy to be compared with it. Whosoever, therefore, acknowledges himself to be a jealous follower of truth, of happiness, of wisdom, of science, or even of the faith, must of necessity make himself a lover of books. " But if the debt were great then, how much more now.-Sir John Lubbock.

lumber supply will be the import ance in the future. The United States is now facing a shortage in the stock of available timber. The yield from the National Forests will aid greatly to bridge over the period in which mature timber will be lack ing, period which will last from the time the old trees are gone until the young trees are large enough to take their places.
 The definite result, therefore, of the sale of timber from the forests will be to sustain the lumber busi- ness, to maintain steady range of timber values and so discourage speculation, and, far more import ant still, steadily to further the un- interrupted development of the great industries dependent upon wood.

LAW AND HUMAN NATURE

There are times when human na- ture, even of the most fair-minded and even-tempered sort, will run contrary to the laws as laid down in the statute books. The following is an example:
 A usually jolly, good-natured business man of Mena, so goes the story, sat in his place of business and saw two men amusing themselves by tearing down a painted sign which had been hung in front of his establishment. The owner spoke to the offenders, he says kindly, saying that he paid to have the sign put there" and asked them to let it alone. The two men, as he re- turned to his place inside, laughed at him and continued their amuse- ment by proceeding to tear down the sign. The provoked citizen stepped quickly out and slapped one of the men, was arrested for SC doing, acknowledged the act and was as. sessed, and paid, fine and costs amounting to twenty dollars.
 That was according to law, all right, but what would most folks have said of man who, under the same provocation, would have done less than did this business man?
 What would even the justice who assessed the fine have done?

PUT THE GUILTY IN JAIL.

It has consistently been claimed by eastern capitalists of the Rockefel- ler-Harriman stripe that the attacks being made on the lawbreaking cor porations by the government and the various states were responsible for a great loss to holders of stock by forcing down the prices of same in the markets. There is doubtless some truth in the claim that prices have been forced down, as under the system of paying fines it is the stockholders and people who have to pay the bill.
 With this in view, the following. coming as it does from Henry Clews & Co.,, one of the biggest concerns in Wall Street, is somewhat remark able and of especial interest:
 The remedy for corporation law breakers is punishment by imprison- mant of the guilty individuals connected herewith. If the government and state offic als will announce this as their future policy, confidence will at once return to the stock market and securities be in demand for investment. Corporations whose officials are found guilty should also be taxed for all legal fees and court expenses. Big money fines fall mostly upon innocent stock holders who have had nothing what ever to do with the wrong acts, hence big fines as penalty appreciate values as they threaten confscation, while imprisonment in place thereof will ad- vance them as it puts them on more reliable and honest basis.
