Lessons for the Youth.
I'VE have no kings or queens to COM
mand and direct our course. Our peo-
pie are themselves governors. They
themselves direct our nation for good
or for evil, in the right or in the wrong
direction. Therefore every American
man is king and every American
woman is Il queen. 1t is our object and
desire to thus impress the young folks
by these ceremonies.
II matters not what Tie wealth of
this nation may be, how extensive its
commerce or trade, we may neyerthe-
less fail in onr great neVcr-before- tried
effort to give perpetuity to civil ard
religious liberty under IL republican
form of government just rs other great
and powerful nations have failed. even
although they possessed wealth. trade
and commerce. to give perpetulty to
other forms Of government.
The future peace. happiness and
prosperity of this nation and the per-
petuation OF republican institutions
rest not upon the old folks. but rather
upon the young and rising generation
If they fail the nation Will fail in its
great purpose 30 sustain government
by the people. for which we stand be-
fore the civilized world
The pastor of our Catholic and the
pastor of our Protestant Church are
here. and We welcome them They are
training the hearts of our children
while in our schools their minds are be-
ing trained The hearts of the young
folks must be trained if civil and re-
ligious liberty is to prevail. Education
of the mind alone will not perpet ua t e
our great blessings of freedom All
may be lost. and it may he safe to say
that all Will be lost. without a co-equal
and co-extensive training of the heart
and the mind.
we are all now civil soldiers seeking
to accomplish results by the pursuits
of peace. You of the Grand Army of the
Republic who defended Washington In

VALUATION or RAILROADS.

Interstate JOmH1NSlOu l'rcVuFIuN hSS.
ter Hearing on the Lh1rOllette BILL.
WASHINGTON. ID. c., February IL
In response to q request OF the SEN
ate Committee or Interstate Commerce.
the Interstate Commerce Combustion
is preparing letter setting forth It's
opinion OF legislation providing for a
physical valuation OF railroads. This
legislation was proposed by Senator La
Toilette, OF Wisconsin. 1t is the de-
sire OF the Senate committee to ascer-
tain whether the Interstate Commerce
Commission believes the measure ought
to be enacted into law.
The COMMISSIONS letter Will consti.
tute pretty thorough consideration of
the subject of the valuation of the rail
roads not only from theoretical
viewpoint. but from the point of view
of practical railroad men and legisla.
tors. 1t will consider the time neces-
aary to make valuation. and partic-
u1arly the cost to the government of
making 1t. 1t is plain, of course, that
the enactment OF such legislation Will
have an important bearing upon the
work of the commission In the consid-
Grafton of complaints OF the unreason..
ableness and injustice of rates charged
by railroads to shippers. 1t is assumed
that the valuation, IL made In accord
ance with the LaFollette BILL will be
of the physical properties of railways s,
and not merely of their commercial
values.
