some 20 years president of the Chlca-
go, Burlington & Quincy railroad, was
such a man, says Frederic A. Delano,
president of the Wabash railroad and
formerly general manager of the Z,
B. & Q. railroad, in an article in APP
pleton's magazine for March. His was
a strong personality with marked
and effective individuality. He was
honored, respected, and beloved, and
his character, which was typical of the
age which produced him, is for ali
time inseparably connected with the
history and the development of the
middle west during the past 50 years.
AS a railroad builder, he was per-
haps as great a strategist as any man
this country has produced; and yet his
name will never be connected with
those who, in undertaking daring
things, have brought ruin to them
selves and their associates. With all
of his personal courage and his UNI
wavering faith in the future of the
west, he was man who recognized
| his position of trusteeship for others.
There was a very strong line of di-
vision, as he viewed things, between
| his rights as an individual and his du-
| ties as a trustee and guardian for 9th
ers' interests. This very quality made
| him a careful and safe guide, and made
| the railroad, the development of which
he presided over, a wonderful example
of careful and sound financing, and
we'll able in times of stress and money
panics to weather the fiercest storms.
Starting as poor young man with re-
sponsibilities for his mother and young
er brother of his family beyond those
which fall upon most men, he died a
wealthy man; not enormously wealthy
as wealth is now regarded but still a
wealthy man. And yet, be it said to
| his everlasting credit, never did ne
make a dollar from any manipulation
of his railroad holdings. In fact, he
was careful that his private interests
should be so separated and distinct
from railroad interests that there
should be no connection. Being a
great believer in the development of
the country, and seeing more clearly
than many others the great possibili-
ties in the west and northwest, he
was a large investor in lands; but
these lands were held in most cases
remote from his railroad.

The Representative Newspaper First.

OF the legitimate forms of publicity,
the newspaper, because of its frequen-
cy of issue, its strong hold upon its
clientele, its convenient form and its
excellent service, easily holds first
place, says Frederick E. Scotford, in
an essay on publicity. Generally
speaking, this is gospel truth; but a
great deal depends on the character
of the papers clientele. To cite an
extreme example, there is in Indiana a
newspaper printed within the walls of
a penitentiary, and read exclusively by
.convicts; and candor cOmpels its pub
fishers to admit that its value as an
advertising medium is rather limited.
About as much so as the paper which
represents piugugiies, thieves, thugs
and pugs outside of the penitentiary.
One is as bad as the other.
Every business man who seeks news
paper introduction to buyers ought 10
find out in advance what kind of peo-
pie read the medium he chooses.

He raised his hat and stalked for

had proposed to her and had been re

Mrs. Merrivale, had managed to ge
word to Philip that Nancy had beer
telegraphed for. His presence here
was part of Mrs. Merrivale's match

DINING CAR.
OF course Philip would be back later
to explain that he was unable to effect
an exchange into another car. Prob
ably he would spend the evening
like the men, there was no place to
which Nancy could retreat.
She was genuinely surprised when
presently a strange porter came for
the suit case, placing another in the
seat in its place. She smiled to her
self with satisfaction. 1t was plain to
be seen that she had shown Graham
how she had penetrated his plan, and
he had acknowledged his defeat. Idly
she wondered if he would leave the
train at Philadelphia; then mentally
she scolded herself for taking any in
terest in Philip Grahams movements.
They were well past Philadelphia
when Graham passed her on his way
to the dining car. and Nancy rather
| admired him for his persistence in re-
naming away from her. At least he
was too clever to betray his disap-
pointment that his ruse had failed.
The night had settled down. Lights
were dull, and reading was impossible.
Nancy had answered the first call for
dinner, and she resigned herself to
idling the long hour until the berths
| were made up. The message calling
her home had been vague in the ex-
IRENE, and in its very vagueness 1t
was the more alarming. Her father
| might be dying for all she knew, and
the thought bore down upon her.
She was peculiarly sensitive to
moods, and the atmosphere of the half

her back came the wailing cry of

ANTI APPROPRIATION LEAGUE.l

ANTI PROHIBITION LEAGUE.1
Rev. William A. WATSON of River
heaC. l.. J., is one of number of min
listers who do not believe in prohibit
ton and who do not hesitate to as
sail it.
Here is an extract from an address
he delivered at Rochester. y. Y, Jan.
Is, 1908:
prohibition must be condemned
not only because it has failed to do
any good but chiefly because it has
worked untold harm. Not only has it
not removed intemperance, but it has
increased that evil and has added 10
, it many other worse evils. The Off

abolition of the open, lawful saloon

, all kinds of demoralizing resorts.
Young men find their way into these
hidden places, and are tempted to re-
main until hey drink themselves

low down dives. During the past six
years | have seen both systems in
operation, and | have observed how.
in many ways, the no-license plan
! has been a curse to our town. The
prohibitionist tells that the open sa.
loon is a constant temptation to the
{; young. Well, be that as it may, what
does prohibition do? 1t removes this
one temptation and substitutes in its
place great many temptations in.
finitely worse. My advice to parents
is this: If YOU wish to keep your son
from drinking to excess don't send
MIN to prohibition state nor to a no
license town Young minds are active
and inquisitive. They naturally wish
to fathOm all the mysteries. And
when you surround the drinking of a
glass of beer with the veil of mystery
when you tell your son that every
drop of liquor contains 10000 demons

Mr.. Hcarst's Third Party.

The Public: There may be a neces-
sity at this time for organizing a third
party in American politics, but we do
not believe it. When third parties are
needed, they spring into existence
That is the lesson of this country 5
political history. The difficulty at
such time is not in getting a new
party organized; it is to prevent its
being organized. We see no such i'm
perative conditions at present. Reac
tionary control of both the old parties
would doubtless produce that spon
taneous organization OF third party
which gives earnest of political vital
ity; but the question of reaction in
the old parties is still in the balance
We make no claim, however, to infal
libility. 1t may be that a third party
really is needed now. Socialists think
so, populists think so, prohibitionists
think so; and they give, reasons for
segregation. But if the third party
reason for segregation, it neglects tC
lspecify the reason in it's declaration
of principles and program. 1t does de
clare for direct nominations, the refer
endum and the recall; but these raise
no national issues upon which the PEG
pie are going to divide this year. II
they did, the democratic party would
bring more strength to their support
than any made-to-order third party
could. Besides. these reforms are max
