ROADS AND TIME TABLES.

In the state OF New York tho public
service commission. it seems, has taken
up question that Is of general interest
TO the pufoiic. 1t is trying to get a law
making 1t obligatory on the railroads to
publish their time tables in the news
papers.
For some reason or other the rail-
roads. by general agreement, have
ceased advising the dear public OF tho
time of the arrival and departure OF
trains, through the most natural and
efficient medium of adyertlsing-the
newspapers. As a result those who
want to know must use the teIephono
But that is not satisfactory, and fre.
Gucntly complaints are heard Tho
telephone lines are often busy" when
the information is wanted. and time Is
sometimes lost when there Is but little

advertising in the press obligatory The
Commission says:

of making information readily acces-
slble at all times and to all people has

Garfield my sincere appreciation of the
honor he has purposed doing me- he
said. i should be especially pleased
to represent the United States at tho
German court at this time. and / am
not too modest to say that I think
could be of good service there. But 1t is
impossible for me TO accept the ap-
pointment.
But, why, Mr.. Reid2' asked one of
the confidential. messengers. What
reason are we to give to General Gar
field for your refusal?
Mr.. Reids embarrassment became
even more pronounced he seemed to
retire into a sea of shyness, a pecu-
liar, almost troubled smile came to
his lips. Finally, in a sort of spirit
of desperation, he leaned confidentially
toward the messengers. I am to be
married.. he said simply.
Married? they cried in unison
Yes said Nj. Reid, rapidly re-
gaining his proverbial ease OF man.
ner, once he had broken the Ice. the
fact is, 1 am to be married In tho
course of the Spring, and when the in
tlmation first came to me that General
Garfield would be pleased to appoint
me minister to Germany I wondered
whether IL would be agreeable to my
pride to spend a four years honey
moon even at so delightful a court as
that of Germany surely is. asked
you for time In which to think the
offer over, that time has now ex-
pired, and / am convinced that NV
brides preference would be to spend
those four years at home, So, gem
tlemen, L must ask You to convey my
sincere regrets to General Garfield
at my inability to accept tho honor
he wishes to place upon me. But |
am sure that he Will have a full ap-
probation of the merit which Is in the
reason L now give that / cannot ac-
cept any duty which will take me out
OF the United States within the next
four years
The confidential messengers faith
fully reported Mr.. Reid's reason for
declining the mission" added Senator
Miller, and when they had concluded
General Garfleld's comment was. Tho
reason does him full honor. But
some day. l am sure he will represent
the United States at enc of the flrst-
class Missions"

clined the appointment to Germany in

Warner Miller of New York.

COOPERATIVE BANKING.

| David LubIn. known rs the father Of
the International Institute of Agrlcul-
ture, and United States delegate of that
Institute In Rome, Is now before the
world with a proposition for the estab-
lishment of cooperative banking sys-
tenn for agricultural districts.
Germany has such rural banks and
the volume of business transacted by
them has grown immensely In 1903
IL was reported to have reached tho
sum OF 1.5S7. 436 marks.
Mr. Lubin's Idea Is that the farmers
securities they can offer. When
number OF farmers thus combine into
one group. one corporation, and GEN.
tralize their individual securities into
one general security, they will. he
thinks, attract capital from the prin-
cipal sources of supply. without the
service OF the middleman, and secure
money at the cheapest possible rate
and the best terms "Givcn these
syndlcatcd. cooperative. rural groups"
Mr.. L.ubln says. land they would soon
attract capital, capital from its prln
cipal sources and between each set OF
these groups this capital could estab-
lIsh one of its banks. These banks
could then honor the drafts OF the in
divldual members. whenever said drafts
were certified by the officers of tho
rural, cooperative syndicate. and per-
form such other banking duties as the
iscs would permit, leaving all other
mntters of the syndicate to its members
and officers, Under the above system"
we are further told. at would no longer
be necessary for the banker to consider
as an asset the character OF the in
dividual members. or of the rural CO.
operative syndicate as a whole: he
would only look to the value of the
security offered by that syndicate. The
moral character OF the individual
would. however. be considered by the
rural cooperative syndicate. in lay
ing out the line OF credit for each of
its members"
The benefit to the farmer would be
cheaper ready money whenever cash is
needed and this would enable him to
pursue his labors to the best possible
advantage, and reap the fruit thereof,
AS II Is now. Mr.. Lubin points out,
money that costs originally only per
cent Is ultimately worth 100 per cent
to the farmer who gets II through the
'jobber" In merchandise and the Job
Der" In money, and the credit system
of the store-keeper, Let but capital"
he adds, "go unhampered to the first
source that needs 1t; to the farmer di-
rect; let 1t do this at its lowest whole
sale rate. and 1t will, by that act, work
a most beneflcent evolution In Civlliza-
ton"
There should be great deal of food
FOR thought In the suggestions of Mr..
Lubin, both to the farmer and capital
ist. Certain 1t is that many of the
present problems Will be solved only
by intelligent cooperation. The peo-
pie should learn that lesson from the
trusts

CONSERVATION STATUTES.

An interesting aspect OF conservation
of water power by law Is presented by
Stewart Edward White In the Saturday
Evening Post
He shows that under present laws a
citizen already has a right TO a per-

lands for bitches and reservoirs. TO pe

ing purposes. and adds that II the cleo
tric-powcr companies could only per-
suadc the courts to define electricity as
Irrigation" or milling" they would
be quite happy. 1t would solve the
whole problem. Only they cannot
He claims that bill was introduced
in Congress assuring to citizens the
above rights for irrigation" or FOR
domestic, milling or mining purposes"
In that one word domestic alone did it
differ in effect from the old law. For
tunately there We're one or two friends
of the people on that committee.
He says that these friends OF the
people began TO ask such pertinent
questions as the Following.
