personal reasons of a commercial char acter.
 There is something distinctly fine in the career of Grover Cleveland, who was constantly in the service of the people until his retirement from the presidency At no turn in it was he moved by considerations of a financial character. Should he die tomorrow he would leave little money, as money is counted by those who avowedly seek it in the customary channels. The req son twhy William H. Taft appeals to the imagination of the people, in spite of political conditions which are to say the least peculiar. is that the idea of service is always uppermost in his mind We have recently heard both MT. Cleveland and Mir Taft referred to as institutions. reared out of the pos abilities of unselfish public service. The character of the service given by Mir. Reed, MT. Spooner and Mir. Lit tlefield is not to be questioned for a moment. The point of usefulness is admitted but can it be admitted that in the case of any one of them service was the dominating characteristic? Had it been, the conclusion Is irresisti- ble that the call to the market place
 would have fallen on deaf ears. The glory of sustained service would have
 overshadowed the pride of possession

pressed by Lieutenant Commander Davis was that the bottom of the ship was not sufficiently protected, and that a shell going beneath the water could strike the hull below the armor belt and do it's damage there. Other officers hold that the water is suffi- cient protection, and offers a greater resistance to the shell than armor
 This ought to be useful experiment. ing. If we can protect parts of our warships with water it will be well. Water Is cheap and plenty, But if we need more armor for them we can buy it, even in these times.

A CONCRETE ESTATE.

There has been much talk about what could be and would be done with con- crete, and Mir. Edison has been fixing to build houses with It. Meanwhile a whole estate--dwelling, barns. cottages, bath houses, wagon sheds. stables, club houses, and brldges-has been built of concrete. A concrete estate Is what they call the one thousand acre place of Fred Pabst, Jr., on the shores of Oconomowoc lake. Everything Is built of concrete. It required 10000 sand and the gravel were already there. The residence, 60x100 feet, and three stories high, is built entirely of con crete. with a great concrete porch. There is a concrete boat house and a concrete bath house. A large concrete bridge spans the lagoon The stable Is 45xl25 feet, two stories and basement all concrete. There Is concrete garage and greenhouse. The manager of the estate lives in a concrete cottage. and the employees club house is also of con crete. In addition there is a riding pad dock, stable for eighty horses. groups of outhouses and barns all of concrete and all roofed with cement asbestos shingles.
 Perhaps some of the loving foreign. CTS will soon be offering United States girls concrete palaces to live in. They will be better than some of the places that are called palaces.

 Railroad companies and big shippers who have been In the habit of extort- Ing special rates from the carriers might as well give up the fight. They must ldesist rom discrimination for the future, and they have got to pay roundly for their violations of law In the past These discriminations have been unlawful for twenty-one years, From time to time since the original Interstate commerce law was passed Congress has added enactments design ed to make the law more effective. for the carriers and the shippers found Il easy to evade or violate the earlier statute, and now there Is enough law enough energy on the part of the gov ernment. and unduestionably enough public sentiment, to ascertain the facts and punish the offenders. The rail- roads are common carriers, and as such under the common and the statute law they must treat all shippers alike.
