WHICH THE GREAT CENTURY?

The Rev. DR.. Walsh has written a
book to establish that the thirteenth
was the greatest of centuries, says
Goodwin's Weekly. He calls as wit
nesses the facts that the thirteenth
century "is the century of the Gothic
cathedrals, of the foundation of the
university, of the singing of the
Magma Charta, and of the origin of
representative government with some
thing like constitutional guarantees
throughout Western Europe" 1t is
further the age of those "great
monarchs, St. Louis of France, St.
Ferdinand of Spain, Alfonso the Wise
of CASTLE, Frederick II of Germany,
Edward l the English Justinian,
Rudolph of Hapsburg, whose de-
scendants still rule in Austria, and
Robert Bruce" Again; it is the cen
fury of St. Francis of Assist, of St.
Dominic, of St. Clare, and St. Eliza
beth of Hungary, (the first settle
ment worked DR.. Walsh calls the
last), OF St. Thomas Aquinas, Al
bertus Magnus, Roger Bacon, Duns
Scotus, of Robert of Sorbonne, of
Giotto, of the authors of the Arthurian
Legends, the Nibelungen, of the
Meistersingers, Minnesingers, Trouba-
dours, Trouvieres-and above all-of
Dante.
Good works, science, (including
physics, chemistry, medicine), learn
ing, art, literature, all had their shin
ing exemplars, and education -four
ished to such an extent that the Uni
versity of Bolonga had from $4,000
to 10000 students There was CO.
education, too, and DR.. Walsh de-
clares that the 1amentable Heloise
and Abelard incident at the University
Of Paris during the twelfth century
is responsible for the elimination of
that feature OF education till modern
times in many countries. For, there
after, Paris ceased to entertain
women students, and the French,
English and Spanish institutions are
all descendants of the University of
Paris"
He charges, too, that the pre-oc-
cupation of women, in their studies,
prevented them from doing their
household work, and hence the
Bolonga sausage was invented as a
profitable manufactured food.
We are afraid that the zeal Of the
doctor has carried him away little.
The fifteenth century was good
deal Of a century. The discovery OF
America was an epoch-making event
The sixteenth century was wonderful
in the great souls that Illuminated the
world in England, in France, in
Spain, and Italy. But in all thos.
centuries there was not much done
for the poor of the world. The
eighteen century was when the man.
hood of men received its fullest
recognition. Our Declaration of In
dependence; the French Revolution
which cleared the airs Of Europe; the
invention of the steam engine; the
opening OF new lands, and the perfec.
ton of machinery did more to ad.
vance mankind than a dozen previous
centuries had done; more than hae
been accomplished in thousand
previous years.

DIR. J. W. McCollum has accepted

IL will be impossible for me TO state
the time OF opening for the new place.

Tuesday, April 20, 1909

NEW YORK, April l9.-The stock market once more proved its power of assistance to what were considered the rpfayorable factors in the outlook and developed considerable degree of pos. tive strength.
 The bears continued covering opera lions today when they perceived how little effect was produced in foreign
 stock markets by the admittedly serious
 situation of affairs in Turkey. The speculative tone abroad was confident. |loreon, instead of aiding in depress. ing prices here, was buyer of stocks OF considerable scale.

MINES AND MARKETS

to check the declining tendency brought about by a general selling nov ement of wheat from Russia, total exports from that country last week being g. o56,000 bushels, compared with only 216,000 bushels a year ago, and to more favorable reports regarding the fall sown crop in this county.
 The market opened weak at declines of 5-S to Is and l-4, following a break of 5-s to l IA pence at Liverpool, but recovered partially early in the day owing to the good demand by com mission houses for the September and December deliveries. After rallying to within l-4 of Saturdays close for July, the market broke sharply again on re. newed selling, July declining from l1S l-4 to 1l6.
 support by bun leaders caused mild recovery, but a weak tone developed later and new low points were establish. ed, July dropping back to 1l5 z-s. The close was weak with July at ll6 IA to 1l6 3-4. May l27 and September l07.
 Substantial advances in corn prices were scored during the early trading, but owing to the slump in wheat, 6 large part of the gain was subsequently lost. May advanced to 7l lS<and July to 69, which is the highest price record ed so far this season for those options.
 September delivery also rose to new high point, at 6s l-2. Light receipts, wet weather over the corn belt which will delay planting and crease of l,659,000 bushels in the visible supply were the bull factors.
 May sold between 697s and 70 to 7l l-4. The market closed firm at net gains of Is to S-s with May at 70 IT. to 70 3-S.

are the means by which injustice may
be done to the shipper. 1t would
seem well to empower the commission
to compel connecting carriers to unite
in forming a through route and to fix
the rate and appOrtionment thereof
among the carriers. The commission
should also he empowered to prescribe
the rules and regulations under which
the shippers snail have the privilege
to designate the route over which their
shipments shall be carried to the des-
tinatiOn beyond that of the first car
rier.
Another most important amendment
of the interstate commerce law-part
of which was specifically promised in
the p!atfMm-is a prohibition against
any interstate railroad company ac-
CURING stock in any competing rail-
road in the future and further pro-
vision that no railroad engaged in
interstate commerce shall after GER
tain late hold stock in competing
railroad and the further amendment
that after the passage of the amend
ing act. no railroad company engaged
in interstate commerce shall issue
any additional stock or bonds or other
obliga tions except with the approval
of the commission, based UPON a find
Ing by the commission that the same
are issued. first, for purposes author
lied BY law. and. second for a price
not less than par for stock, and not
less than the reasonable market value
for bonds such price being paid either
in cash or in property or services and
If In property or services. then at the
fair value thereof as determined by
the commission
BY these provisions enforced with
reason and drawn with a view not
to be too drastic with railroads in
the beginning, we shall gradually abol-
ish that evil which is involved in the
union of competing roads by one road
owning the stock of another: and we
shall prevent the over issue of stock
and bonds so as to prevent watering
and to keep the railroad efficient for
service for which it was intended.
In addition to amendments to the
law which look to rather more dras-
TIC regulation of railroad rates than
heretofore. another provision should be
added by which railroads may he per.

make contracts with respect to rates

shan constitute agreements as to
rates - provided always that such
agreements shall receive the approval
