PUBLIC OWNERSHIP Of
RAILROADS IN JAP AN

KOBE, May 27.-The progress of
railway naturalization in Japan is still
in too tentative a condition to Justify
any definite judgement as to the sue
cessc of the governments enterprises
In the direction. Up to the present
state management cannot be said to
nave resulted in either greater effici-
ency of public service or any economic
advantage to the government itself
Defects in management are attributed
chiefly to the inexperience of the au-
thoirties in this sort of business on so
extensive a scale, embracing as it does
more than a dozen of hitherto COM
peting lines of railway communication
Though most of the complaints
against the governments management
of the railways comes from that large
section of the population obuartely OPP
posed to the states monopolization of
public utilities, it has to be admitted
that some of the faults alleged are not
without foundation. Of late the public
has had to put up with an increasing
inconvenience of late trains, dirty cars
and unprecedented occurrences of acct
dents that tend to reflect gravely on
the new regime.
Not only so, but since the transfer
eraDra Of mana UanaDt to oovorDy,,apt
officials there has come to light a
wholesale system of theft on the part
of employees, resulting in extensive loss
of goods in transit. This means imply
that when the employees found them
selves free from the close scrutiny to
which they were subject under the pri-
vate companies, they took advantage
to relieve their present economic de-
preston by preying on the public. 1t
cannot be said that the authorities
have been Indifferent to the incapacity
of the railway personnel, or that these
discrepancies of conduct show any in
diaction of becoming permanent fea-

The vigorous manner in which the
government has undertaken to sup
press or remove the evils revealed by
the reorganization of the railway sys-
tenn is doing much to regain the conf
dence of the public, and it is hoped
that in time this department of COM
munication will prove as efficient and
profitable as the authorities expected.
AS yet the naturalization Of rail-
ways is far from satisfactory from a
financial point of view. For the ap-
preparation of the seventeen private
lines now under control the Japanese
government had to pay bonds to the
extent of some $24O,OOO,OOO which at
5 per cent interest means an annual
outlay of $12,0OOOOO. But the net pro-
fit on the railway lines last year was

TRADE RELATIONS
With CANADIANS

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 27.-Little
if any change in trade relations De-
tween the United States and Canada is
to be looked for in the opinion of Dr..
w. H. Montague, former secretary OF
state of the Dominion, who was the
chief speaker at the banquet OF the
Maple Leaf Club of Kentucky, at the
Seelbach this week.
I'VE have found ourselves" said DR..
Montague, and have built up for our
selves and are still building a magnifi-
cent industrial welfare which makes it
imperative that the present conditions
be maintained. OF course we wish as

only about $4,OO0,O0O more than the
interest; which profit, after deducting
some $25O,OO0 for reserve fund, was
devoted to extension and improvement
of the lines.
Over against this, the government
has to face the fact that the budget of
this year requires for railway eXte~-
sion and improvement a total amount
of not less than $14,5O0,O00, which
means that at least $1O,SOO,OOO will
have to be obtained by loans. AS the
prospect of further borrowing is Who'll
ly inconsistent with the financial pro-
sramme of the present Cabinet, it re-
mains to be seen how this money is to
be raised.
Since Baron Goto, late president of
the South Manchuria Railway. assum-
ed the portfolio of communications in
the new Katsura Cabinet, there has
been a marked improvement in the
management and general efficiency of
the japanese railway system. The first
radical change instituted was the COM
plete separation of the railway finan-
ces from those of the state, so that
these might be placed on an independ-
ent basis similar to the working Of n
private corporation.
To some extent this move was a con-
cession to public opinion, as there had
been a distinct demand for it in the last
- months. The public mind will now
be relieved from the complex operation
of having to follow the progress of the
national enterprise through the maze
of budgetary revenue and expenditure
and be able to see whether public own
ership can justify itself on its own
merits. This means that henceforth
he government railways will be man
aged pretty much as they were before
their appropriation by the state, and
that all profits ACQUIRING from them will
be devoted to the greater efficiency of
the railways themselves.
The entire railway system of the en-
pire is to be apportioned into sections
each under division superintendent,
after the manner of American and Ca
madam railways, implying a strict en-
forcement of supervision down to the
humblest employe of the roads. With
these simpler facilities for supervision
and the management of the lines as an
Independent enterprise, it is asserted
that there will be no difficulty in ac-
complishing the general satisfaction
which the government promised when
it determined upon the monopolization
of the railways of the empire.

We boast of our common sense. We
are certainly not using any kind of
sense when We leave our wagons,

anything but sense when we work

house our tools when not using them
and cause them to last four or five
times as long as they now last.

RICH RED BLOOD

What does rich, red blood mean. It
means brains, vitality, ambition, hope
fitness, persistency and everything
worth living for.
But you can't have rich red blood if
your digestion is imperfect, and your
digestion is certainly imperfect if you
have sour stomach, bad taste in mouth,
lump of lead after eating, belching of
gas gas and nervous unrest. So far
reaching is the effect of indigestion,
that many times the eyesight is af-

If you have indigestion or any symp-
tom of stomach distress or agony
Hays & Field will sell you a mighty
remedy for so cents, and guarantee
it to cure or money back.
The remedy is called Mona. It's

There are many reasons why So
many of our brightest boys leave the
farm. However, | am of the opinion
that most of our intelligent boys leave
the farm to seek honor They do not
think that it is possible for a farmer
to be highly honored by his fellow
men. They judge from the amount of
honor bestowed upon the average
farmer. They do not stop to think
taat the average farmer is not well
educated and qualified to fill positions
of honor and trust. They do not seem
to realize the fact that the ignorant
lawyer belongs to the down and out
club. They do not seem to realize the
fact that the uneducated men in every
calling are required to go way back
and sit down.
Hundreds of other young men leave
the farm because there is little chance
of becoming wealthy on the farm. |
will admit that there is no chance TO
accumulate a fortune on a farm. Very
few farmers have ever accumulated
as much as $4,000. Farming is nece5
sarily a small business. 1t cannot be
spread out over thousands Of acres
The farmer must do a thing himself,
or have his shadow fall on the man
who does it, if he wants to succeed.
The ideal farm is Il small one.
A good living is all that any man
can get out of this world. The farmer
can get a better living and live hap
pier life than any other professional
man. He cannot hoard up bands Of
gold. but he and his family can have
a comfortable home plenty to eat, and
good clothing to wear Young man
and young lady, what more do you
want?
The farmer is probably more nearly
independent than any other man. He
can work as he pleases, talk as he
pleases, and vote as he pleases It
makes no difference what opinion he
expresses, his land will yield just the
same.
Young men, get a good agricultural
education and stay on the farm. The
day is not far distant when men will
be taken from between the pillow han
dies and placed in the legislative halls,
the halls of congress, and i'll the gov

Human labor is the most costly thing
used in the production of crops and
we ought to use as little as possible
1t is true that many farmers can
not afford to buy costly labor saving
farm implements. They do not take
care of their farm tools. They let
their tools remain out in the rain and

in Napa have decided to initiate a gil

richest woman in America.
In their possession is another will
differing wholly from the probated
document under which Hetty Green.

of her aunt, one of the Howlands, of
New Bedford Mass. The contestants

Others in the family planning the
contest live in Oakland They are upon
an equal footing with Mrs. Finnell and
Mrs. Lecock, being the descendants OF
Captain John Rowland, a brother of

Napa claimants. Both John and Jo-
than Rowland are dead. A widow
survives each. Mrs. Fred C. Button,
an Oakland society leader, is a daugh-
ter of Captain Rowland.
Sylvia Ann Rowland and Hetty
Rowland Robinson were girls togeth-

folk of New Bedford. Each woman
inherited a fortune, but Sylvia Ann
Rowland was Hetty's senior and it
was the gossip of New England that
the Rowland estate, worth $780,

a like sum from her father.

MAYOR TAKES HAND IN
W|LM0T LICENSE CASE

Mayor Pratt has taken hand
in the Jack Wilmot saloon license
cancellation matter and today
made a demand on the city coun-
Gil for a hearing on the application
by Police Commissioner Teurke
that the Wilmot license be cancell-
ed for failure to comply with the
screen law.
In addition to the charges filed
by Teurke of noncompliance with
the screen law, which are relied,
the mayor charges that Wilmot was
convicted on June 10 last of the
sale of liquor in his place on Sun
day. In view of the alleged con-
tinued violation OF the screen law
and the prior conviction Of Sunday
selling, the mayor recommends
that the Wilmot license be re-
voked.
When the matter was brought
before the city council on the
complaint of Police Commissioner
Teurke the assertion was made by
some of the councilmen that the
police department and the city
executive should first convict Will
mot and then demand hearing on
the revocation of his license. The
mayor now produces the convic-
ton, as set forth In his complaint,
and insists that this, In connection
with the alleged open and fragrant
violation of the screen law. Is suf-
ficient to cause the council to fix
