With the same purpose he, some
years later, went to New York, and
served from July to December, 1892,
on the New York Tribune to get a
knowledge Of the inside intricacies

be ono Of the boys stories, that
Capper's first assignment on the
Tribune was to report a yacht race,
and that he went forth from the

Hanna,s Prophesy MOI FalaIIed.

1t is not known yet exactly what
the total Socialistic vote at the last
election amounts to, but it is claimed
to be in excess Of 100000. This is
only about four per cent Of the total
vote and it is only about one-half Of
Mr.. Taft's plurality above Mr.. Bryan.
The total Socialist vote is much
less than was anticipated by the
friends Of the movement and feared
by its enemies Great as has been
the advance Of the socialistic ideas in
this country, it is evident that there
has been no tremendous advance Of
Socialism as q revolutionary political
program. 1t was the prophecy Of
Mark Hanna shortly before he died
that Socialism would be the next
great issue in this country. The So
cialist vote in the recent election does
not bear out this prophecy.

The principal feature Of the law is
the probation officer, who will take

the Judge Of the juvenile court and
there Is to be one from each county.
All complaints shall be filed with

The rem ainder Of the law deals
with what misdemeanors shall be con-

provides for a juvenile court fund

Railroads and the West.

One Of the most valuable contribu
tions to full understanding of con
.ditions In the west was the address O.
j. G. Stubs, vice president Of tho
Southern Pacific railway, at the
ans-Mississippi Commercial con.
gress, The popular idea Is that there
is more money In railroads" than In
almost any other form Of Legitimate
industrial investment. The general
idea is that the railroads get the lions
. share Of the profits Of this wonderful
development which is going on.
But Mr.. Stubs cites the statistics
oi the census bureau itself to show
that during the year Of the census
the farmers Of the country received a
return Of Q per cent on the value Of
their farms; the manufacturers re-
,ceived 1874 PER cent, while the aver
age net returns OF the railroads was
but 4 per cent. Five years later the
farmers received 9.S per cent, the
manufacturers received 10 per cent
and the railroads "A per cent. In
the especially prosperous years Of
1905 the Santa Fe paid dividends al
the rate OF per cent, the Northern
Pacific 7 per cent, the Southern Pa
cilic none, the Great Northern rs per
cent The average dividend Of the
Santa Fe from 1882 to 1906 was 80
per cent, Of the Northern Pacific from
1883 to 1906 only 2.s per cent, Of the
Southern Pacific from 1885 to 1906
only per cent, Of the Union Pacific
from 1884 to 1906 only l.6 per cent,
and Of the Great Northern from 1890
20 1907 6 per cent. The highest aver.
age dividend was only one-hali as
much as the American farmer earned,
apd Il half the stock was water" the
account is only even. The lowest
average dividend was only one-tenth

ares. whose Official authenticity can

Two Kinds Of Newspapers.

There 10 no higher and more honor
able calling than that Of the men CON
nected with an upright, fearless and
truthful newspaper; no calling In
which q man can render greater SER
vice to his fellow countrymen. The
beet and ablest editors and writer's 10
the daily press render a service to
the community which can hardly be
paralleled by the service rendered by
che best and ablest men in public life,
or men in business. But the converse
OF this proposition is also true. The
most corrupt hnanciers, the most
corrupt politicians are no greater
menace to this country than the
newspaper men Of the type ] have
above discussed. Whether they be-
long to the yellow press or to the
purchased press, whatever may be the
stimulating cause Of their slanderous
mendacity and whatever the cloak 1t
may wear, matters but little. 10 any
event they represent one Of the potent
forces Of evil in the community.

The Investment Of capital in the Of

an enrichment Of S7S,OO0 a day, or
over 100000 monthly. Three pipe
lines radiate from the field, to Hous-
ton and Port Arthur, Texas, and to
Whiting. Indiana.
In addition, the Standard Oil COM
pany has in permanent storage 700
steel tanks Of oil, approximately 3d.
900 barrels each, valued at $12,O00,-
900. Another outlet is by solid trains
Of tank cars that leave the field daily.
The Kansas field, which until three
years ago was the largest in the West,
has become secondary to that Of Okla
homa. 1t is claimed that the drastic
regarding freight rates on
oil adopted by Kansas has resulted in
discrimination against that field by
the trust, but 1t is also probable that
The immense production partly ex.
hausted the supply.
The wealth Of the Southwestern oil
