DATING THr nAILnoAps.

South Dakota Is the latest State with freak Legislature which thinks 1t has been predestinated and set apart to regulate railroads and fix their rates for them. South Dakota has long enjoyed the reputation. such as 1t is. of being the State where diyorces are granted while you walt. ana now it seeks to add to its record by railroad batting. the Legislature having just passed . law fixing q two- cent passenger rate on trains in that State. The law has been temporari- ly held up by the courts, and 1t may be permanently made Imperative. but that. will not be the fault of the law makers. Speaking of this ease The Hartford Tinaes says,
 4 rate of fafg that may be profita- ble in one locality may be unProit- able in another district. In thickiy settled community like Conneeticut two cents 2 mile. vo,nntarily adopted Sy revenue producer. In territory where the population 10 scarce and where the volume of passenger traf- bound to beget q loss. IL means in ferior service. 1t is difficult to get | lawmakers to understand that condi- tions in separated localities are. fun- which are applicable to one set of conditions may be inapplicable to an. other set Of cdnditions.
 The legislative hostility to c9rpor. powerful influence to retard the nat l ural expansion and development Qf railroad facilities in the United states. on eW when it's railroads are strong and prosperous than when they are feeble and unprofltable.
 That first consideration Is one that the Legislatures these days seem never to think of or understand. They seem totally unable to appreciate the fact that the amount of business done has something to do with the per- centage of profit that may reasonably be charged. A merchant doing a bus mess of one hundred thousand dollars a year can afford to sell his goods at . smaller profit than could one whose business is only ten thousand. It Is the same with railroads, and yet if there were but one railroad in the State and that road had but one passenger train on 1t there would be lawmakers who would endeavor to force it to carry passengers at as low a rate as could be~>done in a State literally covered with roads and all of them well patronized.
 It really seems that experience of other sections and States should have been warning to South Dakota. The cessation of railroad building and im- provements in some of the States as a result of drastic and unjust efforts to control the business of the roads is plain indictment against such Legislation. but the South Dakotans couldn't see it. They passed their law and now it is In the courts. Per- haps those tribunals win nullity the law and then we shall hear the usual bloviation about the courts interfer- ing with the privileges of the States just as we heard 1t in Alabama and in other States where attempts to cripple or ruin the railroads by law have failed, as they should have failed. The difference between regu- lation of traffic and conflscation of the railroads seems not to be dis cernable by some of those who make laws.

Any Aalntake at Paaama :

The facts that the Panama route was originally selected because 1t was the only one upon which sea level canal would be possible and that for the same reason 1t was finally adopted by Nicaragua are not to be overlooked. Neither should it be forgotten that the lock plan was substituted because it was supposed that 1t would prove the most expeditions, while now 1t seems altogether probable that a sea level canal could be constructed even more quickly. It remains for those who are invested with supreme authority and responsibility to decide at this critical juncture whether the logic. of the Isth- mus does not require the construction ot a canal sea level.

The Effects of Novel Reading

The novel-reading young girl, when
thrown into the society of young man
is apt to be affected with the characters
she has head about and gloated over In
print. and overpOwered with the con-
sciousness that he is a young man and
she a young woman, and that he might
fan in love with her. and she with him.
Because these ideas MI her mind she be-
gins TO assume a demeanor or person
ality that does not belong TO her.
II girls talk 10 the young men they
meet as unaffectedly as they do to the
bow friends of their brothers, or even as
the neighbor boys. they might save some
trouble.
Do not indulge the idea. girls, that the
young man is attracted by anything re-
markable in your conversation. so you
need not over-exert yourselves 70 be I'M
usually entertaining or vivacious.
Your everyday lady-like behavior is
the attitude that a gracious gentlewoman
appears the best in. and your company
manner will be hard to keep up for
long time. Don't put any extra kinks In
your manner because you are talking 10
a Young man, and not a young woman.
And do not suppose that every young
man you meet is typical hero. He is no
more a hero than you are heroine.
1t is likely both Of you are plain, every
day folks Don't make blunder IN
supposing he thinks you are like the girl
IN the novel. or that he is like the last
lover you read about in that last mover
1t is a misfortune that too many girls
marry an ideal lover rather than the real
man. So there comes a day OF olsen
chantment and they wake up TO the Ieel-
ing that they have been deceived ana
maltreated. when they have only mar
ried a plain chap, filled with the sallle
false ideas about his wife. Hence, these
