GOVERNORS MOTIVES

At Hearing on Public Utilities Bill He
Came in for Criticism and Was
Also Defended

All the public hearings last evening
gave way to the one In the Hall Of

commission which developed some rather
startling features in insinuations that
the governor was cXerting his influence
in the bills favor as q telephone man,
himself representing a monopoly, and the
answers to these charges and the insinu-
ations in an attack on the integrity Of
the governor in his home paper,
Defended by a Democrat.
The first speaker was J. II. Senter Of
Montpelier. who stated that he came
before the committee not as an attorney
for any corporation. but as citizen.
In the first place he scored the Express

which ii carried its argument against the
public utility commission to a personal
attack upon the governor OF The state.

paper is printed
lie said that he did not support Coy
ernor Prouty in the campaign, but he be
leved him to be an honest man and that
the attack was unwarranted Ilc under
stood that all this attack came about be-
cause the official owned one share Of
stock in a certain telephone company
lie didn't believe this would influence his
honest actions.
Getting back to the argument in the
question Of a commission, he said that
the Republican party generally put forth
q commission as a panacea for all ills.
He wasn't sure that the state needed a
utility commission. but If il were 10

with powers. Tie Thought that the stare

half that amount, $3.50, 900, 900, are
taken and sold to the banks or loaned
to them, aud they take out their cir
mlatiou upon them. Does anybody
suppose that the price of those bonds
will not rise in the marketY Every
one that Uncle Sam puts his o. X. on
when he says it is a good bond by
accepting it for circulation, Will go
mp, say five points, in the market.
lt will be nearer ten or twenty
points, just like United States bonds.
They go up 30 or 40 per cent. They
always have been higher than they
ought to he, since the first refunding
plan of the treasury, for the reason
have already stated. Now, suppose
they go up five points. That means
adding to the wealth of the holders
of those bonds 500, 600, 600. Suppose
they go up ten points. That means
adding $500, 100000 to the men who
own those bonds. Who do you sup
pose own themY Not servant girls,
not far mers, not the business men of
the country. The most of them are
owned right over there in Wall street.
John -. Rockefeller is probably the
largest owner of bonds in the United
states. He owns millions, and pro-
badly hundreds of millions, of those
bonds. | know of one case where he
went into the market and took the
whole of the issue of one railroad
company, amounting to more than
$50, 900, 900.
'Now, suppose that he owns five
hundred millions of these bonds, an
increase of 10 per cent means adding
to his fortune $50 900, 600. Gentle
men, this scheme is very much easier
than to raise the price of oil. 1t will
produce money vastly faster and
quicker. And the me is true of
smaller holders of these bonds.'
MI Hayes said he believed in an
asset currency which would enable
the bankers in all parts of the
country to issue currency whenever
necessity might arise, up to perhaps
50 per cent of their capital and on
payment of graduated tax.

The Desert Traffic.


In these days OF fast ocean freight
ers, of locomotives, Of inter oceanic
canals, and many other modern con-
veniences which tend to add to the
speed and efficiency of commerce, it
seems like peep into ancient history
to read of the trans Sahara traffic
the trade across Africa's great desert,
where now. as for many centuries
past, cameIs aud donkeys are the
carriers and the motive power. Fri
poll is the nearest point on the coast
to the Sudan, hence it is the focal
point for caravans starting in the
trans Sahara trade. These caravans
vary greatly in size, from that of
some nomadic trader, who trudges
beside his few cameIs, to the great
trade caravans which sometimes con-
sists of as many as -, 900 camels, not
to mention the dogs, donkeys, goats
and horses. 1T takes year or more
to outfit one of these large caravans.
thousands of dollars are invested by
Arab and Jewish merchants, and the
men and animal must be carefully
selected. Its numerical strength IS
increased by the leaders of smaller
caravans, who believe in the safety of
mum bers. and delay their departure
for months. Moving south from Fri.
poll, the caravan must cover in the
neighborhood of 800 miles of torrid
desert before it reaches one of the
important markets of the Sudan
Bornu, Wadai, Kuka or Kano. After
many stops, and some losses the car
AVIAN reaches its destination, where
its cargo, consisting mostly of silks,
raw silk, cotton goods and glass and
amber beads, is exchanged for the
products of the Sudan: skins, ivory,
ostrich feathers, guinea corn and
gold dust. a year, perhaps, after its
arrival, it begins the return trip, with
cargo worth possibly million
dollars. The men who conduct these
caravans have neither horses nor
tents, Most of them walk the entire
distance, though sometimes one
mounts lightly burdened camel, if
one such is to be found in the outfit.
The life of these men Is tull of dan
ger and hardship, and the pay is
small Added to this is the endless
monotony of heat and sand. The life
of our early day freghters across the
plains, while marked by its share of
dangers and hardships, was in every
way preferable to the career of these
desert carriers.

When Goethe Dictated.

In Wilhelm Bodies Studies With

up from the recollections of his last
secretary, Christian Schuchardt. OF
Goethe's method when he dictated
"Wilhelm Meister" Schuchardt says:
"He dictated with a certainty and ra-
pidity which made one fancy that he
was reading from a printed book. If
this had been done in quiet and with
out interruption, | would not have
marveled so much. But while the
work was proceeding there came the
barber, the hairdresser-GOethe had his
hair singed every other day and had 1t
dressed daily-the library servant, Of
ten the former secretary, his clerk, all
of whom had access TO his study unan-
nOunced. Friends called, the barber
gossiped, the librarian told about books
newly received, some member Of the
family would enter and join in the con
versatlon, and finally, when all was
again quiet. / would read the last
sentence, and the dictation would pro
coed as though there had been no in
terruption.

oriain of RIGHT Handednsss.

According to one good authority, DR..
Cunningham of London, right handed
ness is of great antiquity and was at
tanned in the ordinary evolution of man
by natural selection. But the condition
does Yot reside i'm the right arm itself,
for all the evidence goes to show that
It is due to functional pre-eminence on
the left side Of the brain This SUI
periority OF the left brain rests upon
some structural foundation, the origin
OF which is not explained, but which
Is transmitted from parent to offspring
Left handedness is due to the trans

that which sometimes occurs In the

Human Color.

Caucasian babies, negro babies,
Indian babies and Monaghan babies
all have the same color in the earlier
hours of their lives. Observing
doctors say they vary from reddish
pink to nutbrown red, the latter
being noticeable in the newly arrived
infant whom nature had eventually
intended to be black, or in color
different from white. Albinos are
the only exception. They are born
with the same pasty, milky hue, the
same colorless eyes that distinguish
them through life.
The negro child begins to take on
some of its true color within a few
days after birth, passing first from
its original tint to a slatey gray hue,
after which the black begins to de-
velop. The color does not become a
fast one for some time, climate and
various other factors contributing to
the change.
All Caucasians are not of the same
color, fact which is due to the eX-
cessive development of the pigment
cells in some and their meager de-
velopment in others.
individuals change their complex
ion, too, changes which may be more
frequently noted in the eyes than
elsewhere. Age, climate, fright and
disease may any OF all bring about
change in the color with which a per-
son started out in life, after his fist
Fermentation had been accomplished.
The leopard boy one sees IN the
museum some times, and the AlbinO
! are the result of under augmentation,
or the failure of the pigment sources
to properly perform their functions.
In old age the Caucasian fades
away, just as a long used piece of
fabric does. The negro also becomes
of lighter shade as years go on after
the has passed a certain age.

Beware of 0intments for Catarrh that
contain Mercury

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles

the damage they will do is ten-fold TO
the good you can possibly derive from
them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by F.. j. Cheney Il Co., Toledo

internally, acting directly upon the
