GEORGE GOULD
IS OPTIMISTIC


New York, May J.--George J. Gould
said yesterday he thought the corner
had been turned in the financial situ-
alton and, while he looked for some
what unfavorable railroad earnings
perhaps until July, he was inclined to
take an optimistic view Of the out
look.
He said while all roads had not been
as the Pennsylvania, he is Of the opin-
ion that the success of the Peilnsyl-
vania and Tnterborough Rapid Transit
issues made it measurably easy for
other roads to place loans.
Mr.. Gould said he attached a great
deal of Importance to the change that
had taken place in the attitude of the
political leaders in Texas toward the
railroads of that state. He said the
change in the sentiment of the people
in Texas with respect to railroads has
also become pronounced within the
last three weeks. He believes this
more friendly sentiment on the part Of
the politicians and people will grad
ually become more general through
out the United States. He attributes
the improvement in the outlook to the
supreme court decision in the rate
cases.
Referring to the Western Union Tel
egraph Company, Mr.. Gould said the
company had $1,O0O,OO0 cash in bank,
was paying all it's expenses promptly,
and the operating expenses had been
so much reduced that the net earn
ings, despite the falling off in gross.
have recently shown no material loss.
Substantial progress is still being
made, he said, in the construction of
the Western Pacific.

Acting on the decision, John NJ. Day,
who is neither handsome nor rich, but
on the contrary is 10 years old, red
headed and freckled not to speak OF
having a wooden leg, was employed.
\ week ago he disappeared after re-
ceiving his monthly pay check. The
same day pretty Eva Sample, 10 years
old, daughter OF the clerk Of the board,
left without taking leave OF her par
ents.
Clerk Sample hastily set out in pur-
suit He chased the couple through
South Dakota. Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Iowa and Nebraska, finally locating
them at the Willard hotel, in Omaha.
He sought TO arrest both of them, but
was confronted with a marriage GER

procured when they We're married at

COMMITTEE CLERKS.

The state senate seems to have set a
bad example to the house in the mat
ter of committee clerkshipS.
The past house cut out most of these
sinecures and insisted that such clerks
as were employed should know some
thing about what they were paid for,
thereby saving q considerable sum in
the aggregate to the state.
1t appears that the senate did not
conform but held to the custom of a
clerk to a senator. Some of them
brought in henchmen who enjoyed life
at the capital on clerks pay and
went home stated with joy and states
manship to pledge anew their fealty to
the giver Of the gift. Some thrifty
senators appointed their wives and
kept in the family such pickings as
were to be had. Now the house is
specializing whether or not it lost
something and wondering why it should
save at the spigot while the senate
wastes at the 'bung.
Perhaps every senator should have
a COMMITTEES clerk; some facetious and
insolent persons have even suggested
that such ought to have a guardian.
If he must have the clerk it seems that
some attention should be paid to the
capacity ard competency of the cler-
ical incumbent The position should
not be an easy way of paying board
bills, awarding henchmen and satisfy
ing nepotic claims generally.
If the assembly will get down to
business and pass a half dozen or SO
of bills demanded and approved by the
voters and go home about its business
the state will be satisfied, even proud
and the dire necessity for a large cler-
ical force be evaded. OF course this
would bear hard on the boys who have
looked forward to a committeeship as
children do toward Christmas time.
Aside from that such a course would
be found pretty satisfactory.

Each season we are getting closer
to the practical corn huslsing machine
This year several were in the fields and
nearly all husked corn to the satisfac
ton Of both manufacturers and farm
ers. but each and all need still further
Improvement and changes. Weak parts
to be made stronger, some too heavy.
some too light. others skip many hills,
others shell the corn, others don't clean
the ear of all silk and husk. and the
greatest objection which applies to
nearly all machines put into the fields
this year. is that to husk a thousand
bushels by machine costs as much as 1t
does by hand. The problem seems to
be to make a machine light enough to
tbe operated by two or three horses, and
yet heavy and strong enough to husk
two rows at one time. We have today
several practical corn huskins ma
chimes, but needed improvements will
have yet to be made. That an immense
fortune awaits the inventor of a prac-
teal corn husker, is almost unneces
sary to mention.

Few of us stop to think of the pres

is suggested by the many fine bank

would be creditable in Des Moines.

of mediation or control. The decision
does not censure the commission fol
its acts. nor attempt to say what u
should or should not do, but rather
statutes under which the commission
seeks to enforce its rulings and deter
mine the merits of a controversy are
therefore at fault, not the commits
sioners individually or collectively.
The decision in the Hartman case
was to be expected, following others
that have tended to hamstring the
commission in it's labors, and show the
defects of the statutes under which 1T
operates. Apparently the federal laws
pertaining to the duties and powers of
the interstate board have been bungled.
Probably they were bungled deliber-
ately by shrewd lawmakers who, while
in the minority in congress. seem to
be able to serve quietly but we'll the
special interests they represent.

can not investigate, the commission
can not make decisions that will stand
