II can not, In my Judgment, be effect
ed by measures which touch only the
material and technical side of the
subject; the whole business and life
of the farmer must also be taken into
account. Such considerations led me
to appoint the Commission on Coun-
try Life. Our object should be to
help develop in the country commun-
Ity the great ideals of community life
as well as Of personal character. One
Of the most important adjuncts to
this end must be the country church.
and ! invite your attention to what
the commission says Of the country
church and Of the need OF an extern
sion OF such work as that of the
Young Mems Christian Association in
country communities. Let me lay
special emphasis upon what the Com
mission says at the very end of its
report on personal Ideals and local
leadership. Everything resolves it.
self in the end into the question of
personality Neither society nor gov
eminent can do much for country life
unless there Is voluntary response In
the personal ideals of the men and
women who live in the country, In
the development OF character, the
home should be more important than
/ the school, or than society at large.
When once the basic material needs
have been met, high ideals may be
quite Independent of income; but
they can not be realized without suf-
ficient income to provide adequate
foundation; and where the communi-
ty at large is not financially prosper
GUS II Is impossible to develop a high
average personal and community
Ideal. In short. the fundamental
facts of human nature apply to men
and women who live in the country
just as they apply to men and women
who live in towns. Given a sufficient
foundation OF material well being,
the influence of the farmers and farm
ers and farmers wives on their child
rem becomes the factor OF first inn
portance in determining the attitude
OF the next generation toward farm
life. The farmer should realize that

Councilman Landt submitted a res
olution that had for it's object the
creation of a new fund to be called
the city hall fund, and the transfer
ence into 1t of $1,000 from the bond
and interest fund, and $3.50 from the
sinking fund. The resolution was
adopted by unanimous vote. The
money in the new fund will be used
to pay off the remaining indebtedness
of the city hall, and 1t is estimated
that 1t will take most of the money
transferred to the fund.
The city attorney suggested that
the city elections were not far dis
tant and that new wards should be
created in the territory which was
left out of a prior ordinance. The
territory is situated in the Fort
Ground district and the ordinance
committee was instructed to look in
to the matter and prepare an ordin-
ance.

SPEED ON ENGLISH RAILROADS
Noticeable improvement Has Been
Made Within a Few Years.

, A steady Improvement in the facili'
ties for travel on English railroads in
the last ten or a dozen years is re
vealed in an elaborate review Of this
years service by Engineering. The ad'
vances include an increase in the
number of trains making long runs
without a stop, the general use of res
taurant cars and operation at higher
speeds than were formerly deemed
safe and practicable.
The most notable gains in speed
are observed in comparatively short
runs. Anything like Sc or 81 miles an
hour for a greater distance than 20
miles was almost unknown in England
in 1895. Now it is sustained or sur
passed regularly on four different lines.
One, the Caledonian, has three trains
daily which travel SO miles at a
rate ranging from 81 to 81 miles an
hour. The Great Northern operates
the same number of trains for so
miles at the rate of Sc miles an hour.
and the London & Northwestern and
the Great Western each has IA
regular trains daily which maintain
this speed, the former for 1O2 miles
and the latter for 1875 miles. A good
many American expresses, on straight
and level sections of track. equal or
sIHpass these performances for con.
siderable portions of their regular serv-
ice. Indeed, spurts at the rate Of IS
or 20 miles an hour are not uncommon
in this country. Still, the difference
is small, and for short distances it
must be admitted that the new records
in England are close to the best
achievements in the United States.
Ten years ago expresses from Lon,
don to Edinburgh ana Glasgow covered
400 miles at a rate slightly exceeding
90 miles IN hour. In the figures sup.
piled by Engineering there is no indi.

coast and west coast lines in the mean.

miles. 1t is accomplished at the rate
of 56 miles an hour and without a

MarNels Of the Ieleuraph,

Karachi, in northwestern India, is
now within a minute of London by tele-
graph. The Indo-European Telegraph
Company has recently introduced a
system Of relays along its line, so that
the electric current which starts from
London can be propelled the full dis.
lance of more than five thousand miles
to Karachi. Hitherto it has been nee.
essary to have operators at severe
points to take the message and repeat
1t. The relays, which substitute q
strong current for a weak one, have
displaced the operators and quickened
the time in which messages can be
transmitted. The system is lot a novel
one. and has long been in use in this
country, but the Anglo-Indlan line ID
longest upon which it has been estab.
lished.

FREIGHT THAT is UNLUckY

road improper handling is responsible
for about p percent. of money paid
out for freight claims.
Another feature contributing very
largely to the amounts We pay out for

agent, lis defective cars. Our rules
say that each agent must inspect the
cars. Now the term inspection covers
a multitude of features. 1t does not
mean that the running gear Of the
car only is to be inspected but it
means that we want to satisfy our.
selves that the body of the car and the
roof Of the car are tight enough to
carry the load without damage by
water.
Il have in my mind a certain agent
at a -four loading station whom |
found on top Of a box car, and in re,
sponse to my inquiry as to what he
was doing up there he advised me he
was examining the roof-and l want
to say that agent has been promoted

chain. | have in mind a claim pre-
scented for damage to -four by water

that the inspection had been properly
made, but the defects in that roof

have considered a small matter, but
it cost the company s275."

A NEGRO WOMAN SCULPTOR.

Miss Edmonia Lewis. the colored
sculptor, has lived for so many years
abroad, says the Rosary Magazine.
that many Of her country people have
well nigh forgotten her existence.
Miss Lewis is of mixed African and
Indian blood, her father having been
a negro and her mother an Indian OF
the Chippewa tribe in New York, in
which state she was born, near AL
bany, some time about the year 1910.
Her parents died while she was still
a child, and she lived and roamed
with her mothers people until she
was fifteen, when by the assistance
Of her brother sh event to Oberlin,
Ohio, to college.
AS she was a fervent Catholic she
found the atmosphere Of Oberlin
somewhat unCongenial, but she stud
led there for two or three years, and
there her Indian name of Wildfre
was changed t othat of Edmonia Lew
is. From childhood she had always
had wonderful power with her hands
in shaping anything she touched, and
while studying she began her career
as a sculptor.
She came into notice in 1865
through the exhibition Of her first
work a bust Of Robert Gould Shaw
of Boston. That same year she be-
