THE NATIoN,s NEED.

LESS dividends: More railroads. This
lis the slogan of Mr.. E. H Hartman
one of the most remarkable railroaders
of all time. He is slightly disabled be-
cause of a bodily sickness, but although
pale and wan. he is decidedly still In
the ring. The Hartman spirit which
has made him turn bankrupt railroad
properties into most profitable institu-
lions with almost a mere twist OF the
hand, will undoubtedly make him con-
uuer the illness with which he is af-
ficted And in few months now, II
things go right with him, he will be
directing his railroad activities on
larger scales than ever before.
But even If the fates should be I'M
kind to him his war-cry for railroad
extension will be taken up by his as
sociates who have learned trick or
two from him. 1t should be sounded
also, as it probably viii be by the other
row control large systems which are
being operated most probably.
One OF the plainly apparent needs of
the United States today, particularly
in the south, the west the southwest
and the northwest is more railroads.
The railroad development in this land,
up to a few years ago. has been re-
markable. But it is far from being
sufficient. The lack of 1t has serious
ly retarded the growth of several Sec
lions of the country. Unfriendly and
unwise legislatures and a financial
panic with it's resulting business depres-
sion have been responsible for it in a
way.
Prosperity is ut hand again and
there is an evident disposition on the
part Of legislatures to undo some of
the work they have done and treat the
railroad corporations as fairly as they
deserve. And so it would seem that the
time is opportune for the beginning of
an era of railroad extension and con-
struction which will fill some long felt
needs.
Mr.. Hartman, even in the throes OF
bodily pain. sees the handwriting on
the wall to this end and is strong
enough to voice the sentiments to the
public. With him words are the fore
runners of actions. In this particular,
they should be emulated by the other
big railroad men Of the country who
are now in a position to do so.

WIFE DESCRIPTIONS.

Among the matters being considered
these days by the commissioners Oh
uniform state laws. who are holding
their annual meeting at Detroit, is that
relating to the desertion of wives And
it would appear that this is an excellent
field on which the various states of tn
union can get together with uniform
legislation which will of inestimabl7
benefit to society.
This is SO because the evil of wife de-
sertion is rapidly developing to alarm
ing proportions in almost every section
of the country. 1t has been ascertained
that in only one case out of six of wife
assertions the women are at fault, and
that the usual deserter is not physical
ly Ill or weak OF discouraged, nor des-
perate because of his helpmeet's tenn
per and housekeeping. But on the
other hand he is an able bodied Youns
man seeking to indulge a selfish nature.
Indeed, the statistics which have been
secured to show that wife desertion is
increasing are just as pointed in
demonstrating that the bulk of it is due
to moral, rather than other causes.
This being the case all the more
necessity arises for the punishment to
be made to fit the crime. Effective
punishment for this offense can only :
brought about by uniformity of the
laws among the states against it, and
| by the states making it an extraditable
offense. Under present conditions a
man who deserts his wife has merely to
| jump into another state and he is safe
from punishment because with most
states extradition papers are not issued
| for this crime. But it has developed
| into a most despicable one and Should
be be sternly dealt with. The commits
sioners who are at work on measures 10
bring this about, think that in addition
| to its being made an extraditable Of
Tense, each state should have law
| which will make 1t punishable by q fine

LIGHT THE CITY FIRST.

1t will. or should, strike most per-
sons that the time is scarcely ripe for
| the city officials to consider the
proposition for the municipal lighting
plant to furnish electrical power for
commercial purposes. This plant has
been erected and equipped for the
purpose of lighting the streets of To-
peka in a satisfactory manner. Such
work has not been accomplished en-
tirely.
That portion of it which has been
done has been well done. The new
equipment in the electrical plant and
the new lamps, which have been in
stalled but recently, provide as good
light at night as could be desired
along the streets where the system is
in operation. This territory covers
perhaps two-thirds of the city
proper But there are now sections of
the city of considerable size which
are sore1y in need of street lighting.
Such portions of the town should be
provided with it. and as soon as pos
sible. The taxpayers all over the
city have obligated themselves alike
to pay the interest and, eventually,
the principal on the bonds which
have been issued to build this plant
They also provide the money to oper-
ate the plant. One and all of them,
therefore, are entitled to the public
benefits that. come from an adequate
lighting of the streets.
Until such benefits are accorded to
all alike there should be no talk about
the city going into the business of
disposing of such surplus electrical
power as can be generated at the
plant for commercial or any other
kind of purposes. Such an under
taking might be most desirable when
the city is well lighted in its entirety,
but it surely will not be until that
time has arrived. And 1t certainly
hasn't reached here yet, by long

It seemed an unending smashup
That would speedily end my life.
It linked all my breaks and bruises
Into one perfect pain;
And 1t rumbled and whiZzed and EuEgied.

The reason for that great sound,

Could bring such sound to men;
And it may be that only in nightmares
shall hear that noise again.
