WHAT PEOPLE OWE RAILROADS

In the current issue of the Satur-
day Evening Post, B. Y. Yoakum,
chairman of the Executive Committee
of the Rock Island-Frisco lines, dis
cusses What the People Owe Rail
roads" He shoys how railroads in
crease values of land from ten to
twenty-five times in a very short
while, besides expeding large sums
in construction and maintenance. The
legislatures of fourteen states through
which the lines of which Mr. Yoakum
is the head run have passed upon
$50 railroad laws, not one of
which, says Mr. Yoakum, was cal
culated to increase railroad earn
ings or the ease and comfort of
railroad operation.
Continuing, Mr. Yoakum says:
But in spite of all this, l am firm
in the faith that the people them
selves, unmanipulated by the politi-
clans, would do the railroads JUS
tice and recognize that they Go owe
something to the railroads"
The writer tells of the stupendous
immigration campaigns which rail
roads have carried on. Agriculture
has been encouraged by analyzing the
soil and aiding agricultural depart
ments in determining the most pro-
fitable crops in a given section. In
formation as to the needs CT each
section has also been complied and
furnished free of charge.
While the Frisco does not reach
Georgia, the conclusions Of the writer
on the subject of state enactment
fits this state exactly. He says:
"On the question of restrictive leg
lislation l believe l voice the senti-
ments of railroad interests in this
country when l say that it is the il
considered and unfair legislation by
states rather than enactment by nat
ional congress which makes reas-
enable and legitimate railroad opera
ton a welI-night impossible problem
OF course, national legislation might
be unjustly burdensome to the rail
roads. but is far less likely to be sc
than state enactments"
The idea that the people owe the
railroads anything will be a new
one to some politicians, who have
used anti-railroad agitation as 6
hobby-horse" upon which to ride
into office. Thoughtful voters cannot
fail to acknowledge that some consid-
GRAFTON is due the railroads as dew
clippers. And the fair-play sense OF
the great majority of the people Of
the states which have been led into
an attack on the railroads will vel
assert itself in safe and sane legis,
lation

WHICH
CAN'T BE READ

Even with the most unrOmantic of
us occasions sometimes arise when we
should like to make some memoran-
dunn or write some letters which can
not be read except by those we wish
to do so. Here is a simple method: :
Soak q sheet of note paper in cold
water and lay it perfectly fat upon a
pane of glass. Place above it another
sheet, dry this time, and on the upper
sheet write your message with fair
ly hard pencil. You now destroy the
dry paper and allow all the moisture
to evaporate from the wet piece.
Don't hold it to the fire, but let it dry
naturally If you then examine it
closely you will see not the faintest
trace of writing, but if you moisten
the paper once more and hold it up
to the light you can read quite plain
ly all you wrote 1t will show up
like the water mark on a postage
stamp.
Another way is less dirty and even
more effective. Lay several sheets OF
paper on fiat surface and write up
on the top one. Then remove the
bottom sheet, on which no i'm
preston appears. If you hold this in
the vapor of iodine, however the
writing will turn brown and be quite
legible The explanation is plain
The note paper contains starch,
which on being pressed turns to hy-
dramide, a substance which is acted
on by iodine in the manner described.

DIAMOND TOO
'.'..-.'.''. LARGE TO SELL Ell
Dealers Forced to Wall by
Jewel.

NEW YORK, Jan 14-(SpeciaD--
Another chapter has been added to
the tragic history of the famous Hope
diamond by the failure of Joseph
Frankels Sons, among the largest
importers of diamonds in the United
States.
The Hope diamond, valued at
$250,000 has been owned by the JOS
eph Frankel's Sons Company for
seven years. The sale of the stone
would have tided the firm over it's
present financial troubles, but no
person could be found in the United
States who would buy such a costly
gem. Weighing A IA karats and
of a brilliant blue, the Hope Dia-
mond has been for $50 years one of
the famous gems of Europe and Am
erica. 1t was brought from India in
1912 by Tavernier, Partisan jew
eler, and eventually was brought for
the crown of Louis XVI For more
than 100 years it remained a posses
sion of the reigning family of France
Louis XVI took off his crown that
was ornamented by this precious gem
to walk to the guillOtine.

And now the Augusta Chronicle is
twitting Gov Smith on his flop" on
the estimate of the cotton crop fol-
this season. 1t will be recalled that
Gov. Smith said last summer that
Georgia would raise a 100000 bale
crop. This was in a moment of swell
ing pride over the Empire state Fol
his prediction he was promptly jump
ed on by the Farmers Union, follow
ing which he discovered that hot
winds had been more destructive than
|he had thought, and his estimate was
1t down 25 per cent Poor Gov

Stolen During Revolution

The diamond was never recovered
by the Government of France. Dur
ing the Revolution it was stolen, and
for more than quarter of cen
fury was lost. When it appeared
again it had been reduced in size from
112 carats, which it contained when
brought from India, to 81 IL carats
1t was offered for sale by Daniel FL
Jason in 1880 and was purchased by
Henry Thomas Hope, of London, for
100000.
The Hope heirs held possession OF
it for many years, during which the
estate was the subject of long litiga-
ton in the Court of Chancery. Not
until 1901 were the heirs in a posi-
ton to sell it. Then Mr.. Frankel pur-
chased it and brought it to the United
States.

Fine Dresses of Miss Lackaye

The gown worn in the first act of
'The Heir to the Hoorah" by Miss
Helene Lackaye, as Kate Brandon, has
quite a history, it being of Renais-
sance lace. 1t is made a la princess,
with bolero effect, and is trimmed
with handsome hand-painted velvet
around the bolero and with butterfly
bows of same with rhinestone buttons
in the center of each boW-the bows
trimming the sleeves also. The
gown and cloak worn later in the play
were imported from Paquin, espec-
tally for this production.

item caused us to look into this some
and we find that under the Jewish dis
pensation, Instruments of all kinds
known were used in their meetings.
But when we come down to the gospel
times, during Ethe ministry of our
Savior and his apostles, not one instance
can we find where an instrument of any
kind was used in connection with wor-
ship. We also find that the Lord him
self established his church, and the or
der of worship, and He did not see fit to
add instrumental music to it. Man
should be careful when it comes to add
ing anything to the word of God, so
this makes us wonder if after all, these
people might not be in the right. We
should deal out our criticism in broken
doses. J.O.Y
