ARE WE HELPLESSa

President Ripley plainly told the
Chicago Association of commerce
that freight rates would have to go
up because the railways needed the
the money. Vice-President Brown
told the Chicago Association that
freight rates must go up or railway
employees suffer cut in wages. The
dominant note in each address plain
ly implied that the railways were the
masters OF the situation, with no re-
dress on the part of shipper or re-
ceiver
Is this actually the transportation
situation in the United States9
Are the people really subject to
the roads and their schedules and
tariffs, and the universal sway Of the
business as they shall ordain it?
If so, perhaps it were well to let
them have their sweet will with us to
the end that they may milk the ma
ton dry of resources, once for all and
bring the crisis on speedily. Then,
perhaps we can have new deal, in
which they will be more amenable to
the supreme fact that the people are,
at last, the source of all power and
strength and resource.
If it is not so; if we still retain the
measure of our birth-right and the
last word in the formulation OF popu
lar policies, we had best prepare for
a war that shall forever settle the is
sue and lay the lust that is eating the
railway-masters alive and making asses
of them. For it is but money craze
that affects them; there is no crying
need OF any addition to the monu-
mental fortunes they are making year
by year; the commerce of the coun-
try does not demand an access Of the
fabulous charges that now prevail;
they, the railroads, are the richest,
the most influential agencies, in the
world, and can hold their own against
all normal impediments; and if the
madness of gold is upon them and
they insist upon despoiling the peo-
pie, it is as good time as any to
set about their cure, once for all, and
with a concert of legislative move
ment that shall warn them, primarily, |
of the stupendous opposition that at
last confronts them and that means
to whip them into order and com
mercial common sense We have Our
waterways left us, thank God! Z!

POWER OF PAROLE.

The case of 11-year-old Jackson
Reid, Of Portland, the boy who mur-
dered George Demars, and now the
subject OF great communal excite
ment and discussion at the metropo-
lis, is one that should never be
brought to the bar of justice in the
sense that other and older man-slay-
ers are brought there. This baby is
removed from every element and con-
dition that usually surrounds an adult
killer, he stands apart, and conscious
ly free, since he lacked all faculty for
conceiving the crime; did not realize
that he was committing crime, and
did it as the outcome of sheer pre-
cocity and boyish ardor to ape the
action of an elder, without sensing
the sum and end Of it all. OF course,
since he has been brought within the
pale of correction he has been made
to partially understand the terrific
import of the deed, and he will never
be free again, in life, from the burden
of this consciousness, since it must
grow with his growth and inject it.
self into every attitude and relation
of that life. His sum Of responsible
ity will increase day by day until its
weight will crush him to the grave;
he can have none of the happiness
that belongs to the normal youth and
man; his future is already pitiful, void
of freedom and hope; charged with
shame incalculable, and endless re-
proach; he will not have the benson

OF softened forgetfulness that will
come to those who mourn his victim;
all is hard and bitter and unacceptable
before him; and it might be the bet
ter part of mercy to infict the ex-
treme penalty that his childish years
forbid, rather than let him drag out
the unhappy term allotted to him.
We believe he should be put upon
legal parole at once, under such re-
strictions, oversight and guidance as
will keep him ever in touch with the
courts OF the country, and yet leave
him some latitude for the recovery
OF peace that may mitigate the weight
and woe OF lifelong censure that
must be his. The present moment Of
this boys life is as nothing to the
years that are to come. The best
thought of his friends, his attorneys,
OF the courts, had better be given to
his future, since he is not yet alive TO
the menace OF it. Anything may be
forgiven a little child; but censor
ious world will have no chance to
forget nor forgive this lad; and the
one tremendous fact that his punish
ment must pile up with the advancing
years, makes it imperative now, to so
ordain that life that he shall not be
over punished

while the old man studied the odd
scarab with wondrous eyes.
At last with reluctant fingers he re-
turned the scarab to Paul and went to
his study, while Paul and Lena slipped
out for a walk. Ever since Paul had
been an undergraduate at the college
he had loved Lena, and now that he
had come back to demand her hand In
marriage IL was shock to find that
the scientist had determined to sacrl-
fee his daughter, as he had everything
else, to his beloved collection.
1t was the finest private collection
of scarabs extant, and it was the pro-
fessors wish that the work might be
carried on by his son-ln-law. To this
end he had looked with favor upon
Professor Katzlnger, who shared his
enthusiasm for the collection.
Lena did not share her fathers llk-
ing for the German professor, and she
was very much in love with Paul, but
the habit Of obedience was strong
within her, and even with Paul plead
ing his case in person he could not In
duce her to agree to a runaway match,
though she did promise to make every
effort to evade a marriage with Kat
Finger. ,.
With, this promise Paul had to rest
content, but 1t was with little Of the
elation which had marked his coming
that he took his departure 1t was
plain to be seen that the professor
cared more for the advancement of his
collection than he did for his daught-
ter's happiness, or, more correctly, he
convinced himself that the two inter-
ests were identical, In the eyes of
Professor Cation, man who did not
care for scarabs was no man at all
and not fit to marry his daughter.
His only interest In Paul lay in the
latter's possession Of the odd scarab,

shocked at the careless fashion in
which Paul carried 1t about In his
waistcoat pocket, and when, just be-
fore the younger mans departure he
found the precious scarab on the stairs
he told himself that it served Paul
right If he lost the treasure.
At the moment he had no thought Of
retaining it, but when Paul, missing
the scarab, made inquiry the profess
or, why he would not say, denied hav-
ing seen 1t, and the mischief was done.
He told himself that he would pretend
to find 1t before Paul left, but now
Paul was gone and the scarab still re-
posed In the private compartment of
the professors safe, while the finder
went about with heavy sense Of
guilt.

WILL HAVE ITS EFFECT.

That Ilwaco will prove depot in
the fuel trade OF the country round
about the. mouth OF the Columbia
during the coming winter, with its
peat plant putting out 80 tons OF
prime material daily, is feature that
will bear the closest scrutiny by the
people who have had to rustic hard
and pay high for their fuel during the
past few years. With this new source
Of supply at hand at a cost not exorb-
liant, there should be something ra-
tional doing in this particular bust
ness field this fall and winter.
The peat bricks from the north
shore may be the very thing to equal
ize the situation and hold it where
the purse of the people can meet it
and manage to have enough left to
live on. At least everyone is hop
ing for some such development and
will be glad to see it materialize, not
alone for the good it will do as a
lever in holding down a fractions and
exorbitant market, but for the pros
perity it will bring to the lucky peo-
pie who have put their money and
brains in its organic expansion.

Lena Cation nodded sagely, Already
