TO STOP GROWTH
OF OUR COUNTRY
SENATOR BEvERIDoE SAYS
WE CULTIVATE PORTER
HOUSE APPErITEs.
Little Shops and Short Railroads
VIII Not Supply Demands of
Great Country.

Senator Beveridge has an article in
Appleton's Magazine in which he
says: To stop the growth of business
organization is to stop the growth Of
the country. If the steel industry
were run by the lhtle concerns of
fifty years ago tn re would be only
fraction of the output of the peoples
building and transportation materials.
If little shops made all the agricul-
tufal implements they once did fully
one-thnd of the farmers of the United
States could not be supplied. And
if instead of great railroads, the Ma
tons transportation were done by
the little lines of the last generation
none of these industries could ship di-
rectly and cheapl
Remember that as short railroad
lines handled by little companies con-
solidated into single systems railway
rates for freight and passengers have
steadily gone down and the service
has improved in speed, safety and
comfort. Thirty years ago man
shipping freight from ST. Louis TO
New York would have billed il over
at least two miles of road If he trav-
elcd from Omaha to Boston he had
to buy at least three tickets and made
three changes of cars-perhaps more.
Service is the test of theories. Shall
we go backward or forward, is the
business question of this campaign.
Take the meat business. The price
Of the farmers live stock has risen
steadily for thirty years. Why? Firs1,
because more people can afford to eat
meat; but, second and principally. be-
cause the great modern packing estab-
lishments now use every particle OF
the farmers live stock, much of which
the butcher of thirty years ago threw
away. On the other hand, the price
If everything made from this live
stock Sas gone down, except sirloin
and poreerhouse steaks. These have
risen in price only because everybody
has cultivated a sirloin and porter
house appetite Appetite means de-
mand and demand means price

FOOTBALL PLAYER HURT.
Member of Culver Team is Severely
Injured in Game at Elkhart
Sunday.

+. Brown, playing left halfback for
the Culver city football team agains,
the Elkhart Athletics ar the Elkhart
Driving Park on Sunday afternoon
was accidentally kicked in the head
by Harry Davis Of the Elkhart team
and was severely injured. He was
carried from the field in an uncon-
scious condition and hurried to a doc
tors Office in a buggy belonging to
John Holly. His injuries were conin-
ed mostly to his ears. He was still in
a semi-conscfous condition when he
was placed on the O'Clock interur-
ban car for South Bend on his way
home.
The accident happened soon after
the game started. Davis, who was
playing quarterback for the locals,
was carrying the ball on an end run
and was tackled by Brown, who in
his plunge at the runners feet came
in contact with the latter's heavily
shod foot. The visitors refused to
hn'sh the game, and the teams left
the field with the score nothing to
nothing, peither side having had an
opportunity to score.
Mr.. Holly and the injured player,
who was held in the arms OF fellow
member of the Culver team, attracted
considerable attention as they raced
madly through the streets to the doc
tors Office. The horse was covered
with foam from its long, hard run to
town. The young man was later TAX
en- to the Golden Hotel. where the
members of his team assumed charge
of him.

Magazines have for several months
published many notable articles by ex-
pert writer's, all tending to show how
unprepared our army is for war. how
insufficient our navy would be found,
and how quite possible a contest with
Japan is under present conditions. Mr..
Reuterdahl mentioned certain defects
in our battleships, which would make
them inefficient, and the practice
cruise of the fleet has tended to prove
the criticism well-founded. Another
skeleton-like character of our army,
and indicted the ease with which an
invading army could make a landing
on our shores, particularly on the Pa
cific coast. Who has forgotten the
scare" in this country when four
Spanish cruisers, during our war over
Cuba, sailed this way from Spain?
yet, the House, on Wednesday, vut-
ed down a proposition to build four
Dattleships, as recommended by the
President, by 1879 to SO, and provided
for the construction of but two, and
that grudgingly. Congress evidently
does not realize the actual situation,
and is as clearly devoted principally to
a thwarting of the Presidents wishes.
