Elves the interesting and significant
experience OF cattle ranch owner.
This man, encouraged by the unusual
~ high prices of beef. loaded his cat
tie In cars and shipped them to mar
ket, supposng that he would receive
he reached the cattle yards. however.
he found that he was wholly at the
tender mercy Of the beef trust, about
which the country has heard SO much.
The bidding for the cattle was done
in accordance with a system which en-
nbles the members Of tho trust rep
resentinS the different Nrms TO bid
against each other. Tho prices offer
ed were ruinously low but the ranch
man could not afford to ship his cat
tie home again, a fact which the
trust knew md counted upon to en-
able II to get tho cattle for less than
they were worth, and as result this
ranchman sold his cattle at n sacrifice
and announced that he was going out
of tho business.
This Is only one ont Of many in
stances OF similar character. and
II is safe to say that other owners OF
cattle ranches will follow the exam
pie OF this man,
Another influence which is cutting
short the supply of beef cattle is the
increasing tendency to divide the cat
tie ranges into farms or smaller sec
tions for other purposes, especially
where grain can be raised to good
advantage. AS n result OF these COM
bined influences the large cattle

CROSS-STATE RAILROAD POssyBIu.-

While the interests OF this section

struction of a crossStatc railway.

THE CENSUS TO BE a QUICK JOB.
According to advices from Washing

THE PARCELS POST.

The express companies of the United States offer the most nearly perfect example of high finance well managed. The receipts of the com panies last year amounted to more than sl2S.OOOOoO. So afrluent have the companies become. so prosperous their business. that today one-hal their assets are bonds in railway com panies and stock in competing com. panies. This latter device is absolute insurance against financial disaster. for should the business of one com pany be destroyed by some disaster, i, will prosper through the increase Of the competing companies. There is no more striking argument for the establishment of a parcels post under the care of the federal government Exchange.

Willy, wiry Castro.

Castro abroad appears to be of as much importance aS Castro in veuezu- ela. dictatiuguud blufHng. Whllehe at home, stirring up one power after another, curiosity as to the manner of man he was became subordinate to in djgnation that he should be allowed to play fast and loose with treaty ob- ligauons and make football of dip lomatic dignity He was a power in Venezuela and a maker of trouble for nations having dealings with that country. This was all the world cared to know.
 Castro was not easily eliminated from Venezuelan affairs even though out of his country. Even in Caracas he had been man of mystery. A couple of years ago he resigned his office. but when it suited him to take the helm again he simply returned to the capital and began Issuing orders. Those who knew Castro best believe that his trip 10 Europe Is simply an- other act in the drama he plays with couSummatc CleverneSs and almost Napolconic audacity. Courage he un- doubtcdly has. for all the attempts of the powers of the world do not seem to scare him any more than one of the petty revolutions at home. A nuisance Castro certainly Is, and he may be mere poser at best, but so far he has proved himself something more than freak.

Uncle Sam's Farm Manager.
 Secretary Wilson's twelve years at tue head or the department of agricul, ture have covered a period of won derful progress in farming in the Unit cd States. It was long the fashion to treat with leviy the work of Uncle Sans farm bureau A wastcful dis tributiou of seeds was pOpularly be- lievcd to be it's chief business. But the present secretary has assumed for his province the teaching of the great body of producers how to get results from their labOrS.
 Granted that prosperity would have come to the farmers anyway and that the increase in crop production and crop values was inevitable, the de- pertinent officials and their stan have not initiated the lucky lord of the soil who sits on the fence and whittles while things grow. There has been no letup in tine work of trying to i'm prove upon what almost seemed good enough to be let alone. Secretary Will son has demonstrated the practical utility of scientific investigation and instruction on mammoth scale-n other words. paternalism-m this i'm portant branch of national industry. And his work will show to greater ad- vantage when the struggle of man with nature becomes kcencr.

CHARLES oARWlr.

February l2 is honored among Am cricans because it was the birthday of Abraham Lincoln; but as the years roll by the day will perhaps become houored by the peoples of the world because it was also the birthday of a man. who was as great in his own particular sphere as was Lincoln. Tha, man was Charles Darwin, the great English biologist. who was the first man to openly espouse and ex. plain the .leory of evolution.
 Today evolution is accepted by nine of every ten people who deserve the title of thinkers. So strong and con. elusive is the evidence adduced in support of Darwiu's theory of evolu- ton thaa there is-there can not be- any reasonable argument about is truth. Evolution. more than any other thing. has been responsible for what We may term the mental emancipa. ton of the masses.
 No longer do people believe the silly and degrading theory that men  were created in the form of angels and that our present-comparatiye- ssatr of degradation is attributable to sin. Rather do we believe that our origin was among the lower forms of life and that ever since We have been struggling upward; sor there. and there alone. is shown man kind an incentive to struggle against the conditions that surround us in the hope that some day We may ap. proximate manhood more nearly ideal
 "I would rather believe that had ASCENDED from apes than had DESCENDED from angels" said a great English divine some years ago This statement epitomizes the helpful optimism of evolution; the optimism  that has made the hide bound theol. ogy of the middle ages conform to its newer and sauer principals
 Evolution is too great a subject to be nttingly discussed here. All that We can do is to mention it's cardinal principals and ,o pay tribute to their chief cxpounder. All honor to Charles Darwin. He was a great ana original thinker. a man Of fearless in. tellectuaI courage. To him belongs the honor of blazing the pathways that are now followed by all broad minded and honest theologians- which are the very avenues traversed by science.
