Press Comment on Proposal for m

From the New York Times.

From the New YORK Times.
II would be exceedingly interesting TO
know from the representatives, OF what
great industries this assurance has come
OF at least passive support for the ideas
OF the President It has been plain for
some time that the sentiment here ex-
pressed has made considerable advance
in quarters where il was not 20 be ex-
pected. \ very considerable number Of
railway officials Of influence and i'm
portance. for instance, have within the
past few months avowed that government
regulation was inevitable either by the
States or by the national government
and have distinctly preferred national
control There have not been expressions
Of equal significance from other interests.
perhaps because there has not been the
immediate occasion for them. but II is
within bounds 20 say that the temper
Of men engaged in large enterprises has
changed in a perceptible degree.
II IS not unreasonable TO infer. on the
other hand. that the temper Of the Presi-
dent himself may have undergone some
change. If he has been confirmed by re-
cent events in his conviction that there
is much that is reckless and unsOund in
the practices Of some corporations. he
can hardly have failed 10 be impressed
with the fact that conspicuous men in
the class he has energetically denounced
have shown much unselhsh zeal in the
service OF the public, and performed "a
trying and hazardous public duty with
courage. frmness. and wisdom. Mr..
Roosevelt IS at heart too manly not to
recognize with a thrill OF sympathy the
demonstration Of these qualities made
within the past fortnight or that we
may be sure, and II is fact Of much
significance at the present moment
From the New York World
The statement is made that "the Presi-
dent has been assured from the most
reliable sources that there will be no
opposition on the part Of the great in
dustries TO the enactment Of the necessary
laws to carry out his ideas of Federal
control to the extent which he has ex-
pounded them IN his recent public utter
ances" Whether there is opposition from
the great industries or not. IL Is unthink-
able that Mr.. Roosevelt would take the
country by the throat and. as the price
Of currency reform, compel It to embark
upon a sweeping policy Of Capitalization
about which 1900. 600 voters have had no
opportunity whatever TO express an opin-
ion.
Both his sense Of honor and his sense
Of official responsibility would reject such
a piece Of political trickery. Mr.. ROose-
welt is squarely committed TO currency
reform, which IS the most important
question now before the country. and in
the absence Of Overwhelming proof TO the
contrary the World prefers 10 believe that
he intends to deal with II as a patriotic

WHY PEOPLE WILL TRAVEL

The postoffice department has
learned from every reduction in the
rate of postage that has ever been
made that the increase in business was
unexpectedly large. And as every re-
resulted In large permanent additions
to the contents OF the mail bags, there
Is reason to believe that the change
from to cents n mile for trans
portation will permanently swell the
volume of travel. In Missouri. Me-
braska. and other states where the
law providing for the lower fare has
been in operation for a few days the
number Of tickets sold has been large.
There are thousands and thousands
of persons tn whom the difference be-
tween and cents makes journey
possible. And the advantage OF 1t Is
that the rates are local rather than
leEg-distance. Comparatively few can
afford to take a trip to the Pacific
coast in order to enjoy the advantage
OF 2-cent rate. But when they can
go to Chicago st. Paul. st. Louis.
Peoria, Omaha and the points between
at saving OF 33 per cent. they will
make the journey. There are many
lines OF business in which the large
item of expense Is for railroad tickets.
The railroads do not need to increase
their receipts by full third In order
to make the new order OF things pay.
There will be hardly any perceptible
increase In the cost to them.
The carrying OF passengers IL not
unlike other lines Of business. An In
crease always follows reduction in
cost

HER VACATION.

Most men whose work is Of con-
filming character. nowadays take vaca-
tons. The clerk. whose salary may be
much less than the workingman's
wages, gets a week or two off, and
spends 1t outdoors somewhere as his
inclinations and circumstances prompt
and permit. Business men get away"
for their annual outing. They need it.
1t is part OF the business, a taking Of
physical stock and the renewal Of
energy for the coming season Of hard
work and confinement.
One very numerous and hard work
ing class whose need is greatest of all
who need vacations falls oftenest to
secure them. The Wives Of laboring
men, and In too many cases the wives
OF salaried men miss the two weeks
or a months outdoors that their hus-
bands enjoy. To the laborer in the
open air the loss Of vacation is less
a physical than q mental deprivation.
He needs rest and change as much as
any one, but he does not need the
Of the open air. His wife
does.
Half the world does not know how
the other half lives. Less than half
knows how the woman who is trying
to keep home on the wages Of a
day laborer and rear in decency half
dozen children exists under the strain
of poverty and maternity and wife
hood. Few realize that her task, light
ened as it is by the knowledge that
she is spending her life for her own,
is simply form Of human servitude,
that is as much out Of place in the
Twentieth century az negro slavery.

question was asked, either at the

lures. But at the present time the

THE RAILROADS ARE FOOLISH.
Cedar RAPIDS Republican,


The railroads which are haggling
about the two-cent fare In interstate
business are acting very unwisely; II
not foolishfy. They are putting the
travelling public to great inconven-
fence, or else holding mp the public.
Hundreds OF passengers have been
compelled to get off the trains at Mis-
sissippi points to buy local tickets.
Some men have been compelled to sit
up at night until the trains reached
the Mississippi river, preferring to do
that to paying three cents mile.
The railroads are stirring up feel
ings that II will take a long time to
allay. And they are doing 1t without
cause and without good excuse even.
They should long ago have prepared
for the advent OF the two-cent rate.
and prepared to obey the laws until
such laws are set aside or repealed. a

O0F LoHt sense.
One Of the greatest discoveries Of
physiology is that we once had six
senses. What the lost sense was no
one knows, and probably no one will
ever know. but that our forefathers
possessed it there Is no doubt for
the remains Of that part of the brain
in which 1t resided are still to be seen
In any one of us. These remains
are simply a small and now perfectly
useless little mass of brain substance
called the pituitary body. II consists
Of two tiny little oval lobes Joined
together and lying in a little cavity
OF the skull, strangely named the sella
turcica and situated over and behind
the nose. 1t is quite possible that 1t
may have enabled our forefathers to
see In the dark before lamps and can
dies were invented, or II may have
placed them in communion with ghosts
and fairies, or it may have been an
organ that enabled them TO 60 home
In a bee line when they lost their way
In the primeval forests. On the other
hand, it is possible that 1t was a bad
substitute for vision or smell or hear
ing and died out when the improved
sense organ developed.

that mirrors so abound In shops. They

ers in the employ of big retail stores
you would find that they don't watch

their reflections in the mirrors OF
course their watching done that way Is
unpercelved The shopllfter glances at
the watcher, sees that his back Is to
her and secretes pair OF silk stock

ment she feels an unfrlendly and ter
rlfying tap on her shoulder, and the
