Mohammedanism seems to be in
bad repute politically, the fall of the
sultan of Turkey having been fol-
lowed last week by the ousting of the
shah of Persia. 1t will be recalled
that a gallant young Minnesotan
was among the insurgents killed in
the early stages of the rebellion
against the shah, fighting in the
ranks of the revolutionists, who ap-
pear to be the party of progress in
Persia as they were in Turkey. 1t
looks as though the rule of the peo-
pie will soon be universal.

The outlook for enough insurgent
votes to block the passage of the in
iquitous features of the Aldrich
tariff bill was good last week, pro-
viding substantial majority of the
democratic members would stand
pat in opposition to them. Con-
gress is hearing from the country,
which decidedly will not endorse
the raising of duties on manufac-
tured articles, when both parties
were practically pledged to lowering
them. President Taft was disap-
pointing some of his critics by as
sisting in the movement to make the
Republican congressman live up to
their pledges to the people.

The Man Who Makes Good.

When the civil war began young
man named Marvin Hughitt was q
train dispatcher on the st. Louis,
Alton & Chicago, now the Chicago
& Alton railway. He had entered
the service Of the road few years
before as a telegraph operator. He
lacked the advantage of a college
education and training But he
soon showed that he had qualities
such as no college can give, however
helpful it may be in developing
them.
1t became necessary to move large
bodies OF union soldiers southwark
over the st. Louis, Alton & Chicago.
On the train dispatcher fell the
chief burden and responsibility of
seeing that the scores of extra trains
bearing these thousands of men
were handled rapidly and without
accident. There were no double
track railways in the west then; the
code of train rules had not been de-
veloped to anything like its present
perfection; there were no block sig
mails and interlocking devices. Safe
ty of raiload operation depended
much more than at present on the
dispatcher's vigilance, skill, judg-
ment and resourcefulness. Young
Hughitt proved so we'll, in getting
over the road the trains bearing the
union troops, that he had these quail
tiles in rare degree. that in 1862 he
was made a superintendent of the
Illinois Central. His rise on differ
ent roads was steady and rapid from
that time, and now for twenty-five
years he has been president Of the
Chicago & Northwestern, which he
has done more than any one man to
build up to its present greatness

Gov. Johnson has intimated that
he may call special session of the
legislature next fall, to meet the
emergency arising from the killing
of the road appropriations by the
supreme court decision. Wonder
if it wont make some of the solons
who voted themselves their 1910
salary in advance sore, to have to
earn some of it and dig it up for
board and expenses during the ses-
sion. Anyway, it's a sure thing that
the session will not be a long one.

Fletcher, 1.-The man of many
chews," is really public benefacto1
whether his theories are wholly cor.
rect, or not. According to his phil
osophy, there is as much evil in

the average American is guilty of
eating both too fast and too much,
and every disciple won to Mr.. Flet-

Fletcher, in enabling many thous-
ands of people who are following
his teachings to cut down their food
bills forty to sixty per cent, has
brought about saying of $40, 0OO.-

theory is to eat in very small mouth

cher. This is not a fad at all.

threatened by the senator from

Lady PASSENGERS Log.

It was blowing rather hard, and
there was a nasty sea on an hour ana

An officer of an ocean liner hurried
along the passage between the state

He turned and saw Il dear old lady
with a wrapper thrown around her
peeping through her half open door.

"Mr. Officer. please would you call

a Chinese Superstition.

Fengshui is the Chinese superstition
that determines good site or locality,
and if a town on the YangtZe has not
a good fengshui trade will not come to
it. and it will be ruined. A town
named Peishih had its pagoda in the
wrong place-not far enough down the
river-and the result was that all traf-
fic which should have come to it was
swept past, Peishih being left out IN
the cold The people pulled down the
pagoda and built another one in the
supposed right spot, as nothing would
convince them that the depression
could arise from any other cause than
that of bad fengshui
The city Of Wanshein, on the other
hand. has perfect fengshui. two fine
pagodas. and is very prosperous. But
the fact that Wanshein is situated in
fertile valley. where wheat, barley
and the poppy flourish abundantly,
while Peishh is barren and miserable,
does not concern the habitants so
much as the fengshui site. This re-
markable idea in the Chinese mind is
only one of thousands like it.
