SATISFIED WHERE HE WAS.
Why Buyers Desire for Good Measure
Suddenly Evaporated.

The following anecdote is told of a
most careful and sedate druggist in
keene, ~ H.-a gentleman of the old
school, who for so years occupied the
same corner, and who, in all his deal
ings medicinal, is very scrupulous
man.
Not long since person of not par
ticularly liberal practices, and withal a
close man, came to the good samaritan
with a recipe that he wished put up,
and the man of drugs proceeded at
once to attend to it.
While engaged in weighing out the
compound, the customer, with smile
intended to be "childlike and bland"
said to him:
Now, Doc, be sure and give me
good measure"
The druggist paused. holding the
scales at rest while he looked over his
spectacles at the man before him.
Sir he replied solemnly, IF were
to give you the merest grain more
than this recipe calls for, you would be
in he'll In five minutes"

Woeful Misinterpretation

That the effect of choice and an.
propriate phrase is sometimes lost
and ofttimes woefully misinterpreted
is well illustrated in an incident con.
nected with the death of a Virginia
lawyer
During the mans illness the wires
were disconnected which attached the
bell to the oldfashioned pull knob on
the front door.
A messenger boy came to the house
one morning and began pulling at the
bell, There was no response. He con.
tinued to jerk the ancient knob vigor.

"The business of the railroads
should be as open and public as that
of National banks. Rates should be
stable, reasonable and absolutely
equal to all. This and this alone will
fully and finally restore confidence
and promote that industrial and com
mercial tranquility SO necessary to
permanent national prosperity"
This declaration On the part of this
prominent railroad official might well
be taken as model for platform
plank by the republican party. 1t is
clearly in line with the ideas of the
president and if such a condition
could be brought about, it would set
tie the railroad question for the pres
ent century. Huronite.

greed of employers; the purpose was
laudable and honorable. But of late
years, with additional power, and the
influence of evil leaders, the unions
in many instances, have developed a
greed and unreasonableness that out
ranks that from which they were or
ganized to protect their members.
Many of their demands are unreason-
able, and these demands are made an
excuse for raising the price of com,
mOdlties to consumers. The business
interests suffer from unreasonable de-
mands, and our whole industrial sys-
tenn is effected, and in the end labor
is no better off. As an instance.

all falls back onto the great mass of

are following in the path that leads
to destruction through an aroused
and abused public.

A DAY in May is to be designated by
labor unions as Meyer Haywood Pet
tibone day, at which time a demon
stration is to be made in protest
against the utterances of the presi-
dent in which he declared these men
were undesirable citizens. These men,
it will be rendered, are charged with
murder, but have not yet been tried.
The labor unions claim the presidents
action is calculated to prejudice trial
Judge and jury. To this claim the
president denies any such intention.
On the other hand, he claims the
unions have been making an organ
lied effort to prejudice public, Judge
and jury in favor of the suspected
parties. In this the president is cor
rect. The original purpose of labor
unions was protection against the

SOME RAILROAD VALUATIONS.

The Minnesota Legislature appoint
ed a committee, called the Sunberg
committee, to investigate and secure
information as to the actual cost and
value of the railroads in Minnesota.
Of course, in the short time allowed
the committee it is not to be supposed
that a complete report on all railroad
property in the state could be made.
But some facts were discovered, and
they are mighty interesting. 1t may
reasonably be taken for granted that
the general plan adopted by one road
is followed in greater or less degree
by all the other lines, The figures
given in the following summary taken
from the committee report were Sc
cured from the records of the com
panies and are therefore reliable.
From them ii will be seen that large
portion of the so-called capitalization
is water:
st. Paul, Mimi, April % Railroad
property in Minnesota is valued at
$2l5, 100000 by the Sunberg inyesti-
eating committee which returned it's
report to the Minnesota state senate
to-day.
This is approximately $4,000 mile.
The property is capitalized to the
extent of SfO0, 100000 or $50, 900 mile
on an average. Net earnings, acord-
ing to the committees findings aver

bear to the value thereof, and the en-
actment of such appropriate legisla-
ton as the condition disclosed de-
mand."
A large section of the report is de-
voted to a drastic review of Great
Western.
This road, it says, twas built by A.
b. Stickney, who raised funds by ac-
quiring, organizing, re. organizing and
Harrimanizing the divers and sundry
corporations of Minnesota, Iowa and
illinois,"
Capital stock and funded debt of
the road is Sl43,668 per mile, and the
committee figures its value at about
one-ffth of that, or $4,000 mile.
In its last report the company GER
titles that the line and equipment
costs S9S,0ll per mile, and in the de
tail of its statement there is an item
that reads purchase of constructed
road S66, 1894 per mile"
This would mean 100000 for the
whole line. In 1891 there was report
ed for purchase of constructed roads
$6,314, l9l." 1t was then 8l5 miles
long.
Fifteen years later" says commit
tee, "this elastic item had been stretch
ed to $50,594, ,344, but the whole line
had shrunk sixty miles in length. 1t
had been watered too much"

FOR GOVERNMENT CONTROL.

w. {. Brown, senior vice president
of the New York Central is now an out
spoken advocate of government control
of the transportation companies. The
sentiment in this direction is gaining
rapidly owing to the outspokedness oi
President Roosevelt upon this great
question and the expose of the Harri-
man way of watering stocks and sell
ing them to the public at ruinous and
criminal advance. This manner of
high finance and the publicity given to
it has endangered the value of al.
railroad securities and the men large
ly interested in the management OF
the transportation lines are rapidly
coming to the opinion that there is
only one way to secure stability i'm the
value of railroad investment and re-
store the confidence of the people
and that is by some thorough system
of government inspection and super
vision which shall give to the pubic
honest management and honest SER
vice in the transportation business.
Vice-President Brown, of the New
York Central expresses himself as
firmly ana unalterably in favor Of
the regulation of railroads and Ill
other corporations by the nation aad
the states. The people created these
corporations and have the undoub,ed
right to regulate them.
