Judge T. ]. Freeman of Dallas, gen.
eral solicitor for the Texas & Pacific
railroad for many years, was appoint
ed through the federal court as re-
ceiver for the l. G G. N Railroad COM
pany, and he will assume his duties

A Herald man called on General
Manager Clarke at his office this
morning, and had this report confirm
ed. Mr. Clarke said, however, in the
absence of instructions or other infor-
nation bearing on the matter, he had
nothing to say; that he expected to
receive orders from the receiver in a
day or two, and whatever they were,
he would proceed to obey them He
expressed the hope and belief that
there would, for the present at least,
be no material change in the official
family, as result of this receivership.
Judge Freeman is Gould man, and
has been identified with the Gould
roads for many years.
This receivership was not unexpect-
ed by many, as the road was unable
to meet the heavy demands being
made upon it by the railroad commits

''I have no doubt that the properly

The trouble of the road recently mas
been that earnings have decreased
while expenses have remained the
same. The general public, perhaps,
does not understand how this can oe'
but the railroads make contracts LOT
their supplies year or more before
the contracts are used, and the sup
niles that are used today were bought,
possibly, a year ago, when supplies
were very high. With these supplies
contracted for the road had to meet
these expenses out of its greatly de-
creased earnings, hence the embar-

Therefore, upon the Oldest OF evo.

of the child to be affectionate. OF
course, in its earliest stages this
affectionateness is much like that Of
the flower for the sun. or Of kitten

basis for the higher affections, for de-
votion, for kindliness, and IL given
anything like favorable environ

criminal offense to put these ideas
Of horror, these degrading and de-
moralizing superstitions. into the
mind Of . child of the twentieth
century at all.
Let tho child retain his brave and
beautiful confidence as long as he
possibly can. Then when the trou.
bles typifled bv these dark and grue-
some tales Of the underworld and the
overworld really come he will have
developed strength and courage 60

not the slightest advantage. either to
morals or good common sense, in
making him miserable over the awful
things which, whatever we may be-
lieve about future life, we are
perfectly sure do not happen and
cannot exist In this. 1t is only q
few centuries since grown men began
to be free from this awful dread of
impeding evil, Of Resistless Fate,
in whose clutch they were powerless.
But we have outgrown it; and why
should we insist on infiicting it by
our own voluntary or permitted ac-
tion upon new generation?
That the child is by nature irrep-
ressibly affectionate. loving, full of
good comradeship. calls for no proof
to any one who knows children. He
needs these qualities in his business.
Just as much as he does his selfishness
and his aggressiveness. Millions of
years ago it was found out by our
ancestors, even before they came down
from the tree tops. that IL they would
prosper they must have their neigh.
boris consent, in the form of his good
will. Thought they hated their
enemy. they must love their neighbor.
Moreover. the time when they need
ed these qualities in the highest de-
gree was during the early stages of
their individual existence. in the
period Of infancy. Since the help
