VALUATION OF RAILROADS.

What is called the physical valuation
OF railroads is now receiving much at
tention. How much are railroads
worth per mile?
Texas, Michigan and Wisconsin, have
recently made this valuation for pur-
poses OF taxation, Michigan found In
1900 the commercial value OF her rail-
road per mile to be s32 100, the physical
value in present condition SCI 800. and
the cost Of reproduction 500 100. Wiscon-
sin In 1909 appraised commercial valu-
alton AT $4,000 per mile, present oondl-
ton at $4,000. and cost Of reproduction
10000, while Texas in 1906, not attempt
ing to set a present value, found the
commercial valuation to be s20,lOO per
mile. and cost OF reproduction, slG,5Sl.

A sERMoNET FOR WORKERS
tBy H. j. Hapgood.

Kickers attract attention everywhere
There are two classes--the four-legged
kicker and the two-legged kicker. The
first class demands n high price. He
is hybrid creature with an irritable
disposition, and is known in all Anglo
Saxon speaking communities as the
mule. Although somewhat OF a menace
to the dashboard and the persons sit
ting Immediately behind the same, the
four-legged kicker Is OF vast economic
usefulness to the community
The two-legged kicker, on the other
hand, although he does less physical
damage with his pedal extremities, is OF
little or no value to the society to which
he owes his allegiance. He is an anus
ing animal.
Whenever he kicks up his heels he
usually kicks down valuable institu-
ton, Kicking UP an awful gust about
thing seldom implies building up
anything good. 1t generally means tear
ing down something not so good and
leaving nothing in It's place. When you
feel like kicking. instead of making
yourself obnoxious to everybody around
the place, Just lock yourself into your
private office and kick yourself tp
pieces. II one really wants to kick he
generally can find enough in his own
state of being TO kick about; for just
as truly as charity begins at home, so
every man should be his own kicking

TAKE WARNING.

The fire at North Coliinwood, near
c,1eveland O.. In which so many little
ones were burned to death, or trflinp'eu
into an unrecognizable mass ls one
of the most pitiful calamities on record
for many years. 1t is heartrending to
think of the innocent children, one mo-
mont q joyful throng fun of life ana
vipor and activity; another, surround
ed by roaring flames, struggling, shrek

imagine the awful scenes in that build
ing. 1t Is impossible to realize the
grief and sorrow and agony of the par
ents who were deprived, in that terrible
hour, Of their children. The loving
sympathy of the country goes out to
them in their bereavement, but there
is only one who can heal the wounds,
give comfort, and hope, in such SUI
preme trials.
The calamity should be a warning to
all in charge OF school buildings, and
other houses where hundreds of people

escape in case of an emergency. In
most of the fatalities on record, fires,
collisions, explosions, etc. in which a
number OF lives have been sacrificed,
neglect, or incompetency, on the part
OF somebody in a responsible position
has been proved. In the recent fire
in one Of the electric shows, in one OF
the eastern cities, by which so many
lives were lost, it was proved that the
exits were inadequate and that the lam
tern was in charge of Inexperienced
employees. When the panic struck the
crowd, the doors were soon blocked.
1t should be the business OF those

SENATOR sMoor IN WASHINGTON

Citizens of Utah who visit Washing
ton are almost unanimous in the con-
viotion that our State is we'll repre-
scented in Congress. Our Senators and
Representative in the House, they find.
are honored and respected among their
colleagues. and they are, consequently.
an honor TO their constituencies. And
this is the fact no less in the case of
Senator Reed Smoot, than Senator
Sutherland or Congressman Howell.
We make note of this particularly.
because IL anyone should be under the
impression that the bitter persecution
to which the Senior Senator from Utah
has been subjected. has lowered him
in the esteem of fellow senator's, or
other public men with whom he has
come in almost daily contact, they
should know that they are mistaken.
Senator Smoot is very highly esteemed
The sterling character OF his morals,
his ability, and his readiness to serve
the State as an impartial representa-
tive of all parties and interests, have
won for him friends and admirers. and
he. consequently. exercises more than
common influence for the good of the
State That is, we say the almost
unanimous opinion Of those who have
visited Washington and become ac-
quainted with the true situation.
Mr. Charles j. Stewart, of this city.
who recently returned from Washing
ton, confirms all that has been said
on this subject by others. He went to
the national capital at the instance OF
wool growers IN Utah and the National
Woolgrowers' Association and he had
a very successful trip. He does not be-
long to the political party of which
Senator Smoot is a member. and he
has no political ak to grind. But. when
questioned on this subject. he unhesl-
tatlngly stated that, contrary to his
expectations, he found that the tales
told about Utah, the Church and the
Senator, by the INSCRIPTIONS defam-
ers that have been at IL now for years,
so far from having had the intended
effect of staining his character, had
had The opposite effect. while both the
tales and the defamers We're, in his
hearing, characterized as Infamous"
by men whose friendship and good viii
are worth something. And Infamous"
certainly is the right adjective
Few realize to what length the IN
fanny is being carried. Not only In
public addresses but also privately Is
the infamous course pursued, to
judge from letter received from
Peavey, Idaho. IN which the writer
says that an antl-"Mormon" ex-sena-
tor Is personally spreading false ru-
mors about Senator smoot privately,
that he would not dare 70 repeat on
the lecture platform. But, in spite OF
all, Senator smoot is man OF IN
fuenee, and his usefulness increases as
ne becomes known. Il cannot but be-
pleasing 10 the people OF Utah to know
that the state Is VOL represented, not
withslanding all the efforts by envy
and jealousy 20 deprive ita representa-
tiyes OF influence

Physical valuation he regards "a nero

tion Of the circumference OF circle by
pacing of the radius and carrying out

on the other nand as the Post points
out. II railroads value IL simply its
earning power capitalized, then the in
terest OF the public can make no head
way at all. III high rates Justify large
capitalization and large capitalization
justifes high rates statesmanship and
finance alike are caught IN a vicious
circle. Rates must not be touched be-
cause thtey are necessary for respect
able return ON the capitalization; capi-
talization must not be touched be-
cause It is justified by earnings under
the existing schedules of rates" The
fact is therefore that the facts must
be found out and the valuation Of the
railways ascertained In some way be-
fore there can be any intelligent fix
Ing of railroad charges by legislatures.
And 1t appears that the ascertainment
OF real values Is one Of the most difrl-
cult problems of our times.

THE INDIANS.

1t would appear that the Indian has
now reached mans estate. and Is en-
titled no longer to be considered as
ward of the nation. His ability TO
manage his own affairs and to COM
pete successfully with the white man
has been demonstrated over and over
again. His appearance on the floor OF
the senate shows that he no longer
desires to be fostered and coddled, and
will not longer sumbit to being robbed
and exploited. He Is now an American
without distinction from other Ameri-
cans. In spite of all the American In
dams have suffered they are not dis
appearing race. They have, for the
most part attained the state of eau
casian civilization. and are now actual
ly increasing in numbers. AS long as
they remained an uncivilized people
the law of the survival of the flttest
demanded their gradual determination,
and the exterminating process went
steadily on. This has now ceased, and
the tide has set strongly in the other
direction. Not for very many genera
tions-perhaps not ever-will the trace
of the Indian be made invisible in the

shall spit upon any public sidewalk. or
upon the floor OF any public convey
ance. or upon the floor of any theater
hall, assembly-room or public building
under penalty OF not less than 81
nor more than S. for each offense." In
the cases tried as the result of a recent
police roundup he fine assessed
against each one of twenty accused men
was So. That served the purpose OF
gentle reminder, and II Ia not likely To
be forgotten by the persons Immediate
~ concerned. Moreover. II is to be
hoped that the publicity given these
cases Will spread the knowledge of the
fact that there Is an ordinance against
splitting and that this viii act az a de-
terrent. But there need be no cessa-
ton of police activity on that account,
More fines viii emphasize the lesson

A CHAOTIC CHILD.
Pan Mall Gazette.

Surely the mystery of life was great
er than the mystery of death in the
case of five months old child which
has just been the subject of an inquest
at Battersea. II had what the doctor
calls "drumstick" fingers and toes, its
heart was on the right side instead of
the left, the position of the lungs was
reversed. the aorta curved down the
right side instead Of the left, there was
no spleen, the liver was on the wrong
side, and there was no division between
the two chambers OF the heart, while
the artery which should have supplied
the lungs with blood was closed, the
blood passing through a communication
between the aorta and the remaining
portion Of the pulmonary artery. With
all this jumbled anatomy the child liv
ed. and the medical evidence proved
that its death was not directly due to
the disarranged organs, but to an at
tack OF bronchitis. Still death came
mercifully, for the medical view was
that II the little one had lived until 1t
could stand 1t would have died of heart
disease. That II breathed at all proves
the tenacity of life and forms a COM
ment on the vast sacrifice of healthily
constituted children which annually re-
suits from negligence.
