The figures show that Australia, of
all the new countries of the world, is
most backward in railway construc-
ton. Railway construction In Asia,
especially in China, has increased re-
markedly. AT the end of 1908 China
had 4,99S miles, four times as many
as it had in 1904, and only 81 miles
less than Japan.
In the year 1908 Russia, the Euro
pean country which needs new rail-
ways most, built only 2S5 miles. Rus
STA still has 102 miles less than Ger
many, though it's area is 10 times as
great and its population nearly twice
as great as Germany's.
The statistics of capital show that
in Europe the average capitalization
per mile is S121,393. capitalization Is
much greater there than in the United
States where, according to the last
issue of Poor's Manual. the railroads
are capitalized at $74, 1889 a mile.

world have been gathered recently by
a German publication, the Archivfur

brought down to the end of 1908, or,
in some cases, only to June 80, 1908.
The grand total of the worlds total
mileage is 611,47S miles, an increase
Of 81, sos miles in the last five years.
The increase for the year 1908 was
16,445 miles, % per cent over 1907.
The railway mileage of the six con-
tinents in 1908 was as follows:

Speaker Cannon told Yale students
on Thursday that college education
Is not necessarily fatal to success and
that most college professors wouldn't
succeed at anything other than their
own jobs. He said that the college
fellow becomes familiar with a great
many theories from instructors who.
in the main, abound in theories and
theories only. Not many of them
could take charge of large business
or build up one to grand success. He
added that very small percentage of
the people can spend the time and
money necessary to go through col
lege; but there are a great many stu
dents who go ahead and accomplish
something along the specialties as
there are a great many of them who
accomplish something practical in
business and in politics. notwithstand-
ing the burden of bearing a college
course. The Yale faculty is said to
be deeply stirred by Mr.. Cannon's
flippancy

HIDE AND SEEK POLITICS.

Under the above title woodrow Will.
son, President of Princeton ITniyer.
SHY, contributes an interesting anal
ys's OF our political ills to the current
number of the North American Re-
view. It is also an explanation of the
Snort Ballot movement, of which the
author is the leader. Protesting
against the present long ballot. /. e..
the needless multiplicity of elective
ofhces, he writes:
We have given the people some
thlng so vast and complicated to do
IN asking them to select all the of.
hcers of government that thew can
not do it. 1t must be done for them
by professionals There are so many
men to be named for office. II is
futile to name one or two unless YOU
name whole ticket; the offices that
Nil ticket are SO many and so OBJ
scure that it is impossible the thing
should be done informally and offhand
by direct unassisted. popular choice.
There must be preliminary process
Of selection. of nomination, of pre-
pairing the ticket as a whole, unless
there is to be hopeless confusion,
names put up at haphazard and no.
body elected by clear majority at the
end, The machine is as yet an IN
dispensable instrumentalitv of our
politics."
After explaining that machines and
parties are two very different things.
Dr. Wilson goes on to show that the
machine can be made unnecessary by
simplifying the duties of citizenship.
as for instance, in Glasgow, one of
the best governed cities in the world.
The voters connection with the
government of that city is very sim
pie. He votes for only one person,
the councilman from his ward. That
Is his whole ticket. In it's simplicity
lies his power He does not need the
assistance of professional politicians
to pick out single candidate for a
single conspicuous office ANY group
OF interested or philosophical neigh
bors can do that"
DR.. Wilson also points out that the
relative success of the government OF
Galveston by a commission of five
men is dependent upon the same
simplicity in the voters task, and con
cludes:
The short ballot is the short and
open way by which we can return to
representative government. It is the
nigh duty of every lover of political
liberty to become partisan of such
reform II once he becomes convinc.
cd of it,"
All told, DR.. Wilson has made out
an interesting and convincing case for
the short ballot

CONGRESSMAN c. A. Kennedy.

Montrose Journal: Charles Ken
nedy's many friends in Montrose are
more than pleased to learn that prac-
tically every Republican paper in TIE
district is supporting him for re-
nomination to congress. They also
are glad to learn that the people
through the district have learned that
it does not take an orator to make a
good congressman, but a man with
character and push can get more for
his people at home than an orator who
takes four-fifths of his time preparing
a speech and the rest of the time
delivering it. Last, but not least, his
friends at home are glad to learn til at
his constituents throughout the dis
trict have learned that they have a
man representing them in congress
who Is entirely c'ean and trustworth,r.
While all the people cannot agree with
him politically, is natural, for no one
yet has been able to please all the
people, hnt all good citizens admire
q good na1 even though they do differ
with Tim politically.

ate-how far-reaching the sequences
might nave been. Illuminating along
this line, the Burlington Hawk-Eye
says:
"Dolliver, of course, would have fol
loved Allison, as he now follows
Cummils. Senator Allison would had
IA personal influence with the would-be
insurgents in both the senate and the
house. Sanity instead of hysteria
would have a hearing and President
Taft's administration would have had
a congressional backing it now can
have only by hard effort. 1t was a

went to the grave and hysteria took
the vacant seat. Sometimes one life.

The slowly rising tide of immigra-
ton is interpreted by the Philadel.
phia Ledger as a sure sign of the
permanent establishment of normal
industrial conditions in the United
States. Foreign labor is finding an
opening again, for the influx for the
first quarter of the present year is
nearly equal to that in the cores
pondlng period of 1907. before the
business depression had taken place
and before it had checked the move
ment to our shores. The figures for
the first three months of 1910 are
244,967, as against 224,0G0 in 1909.
S2.11S in 1908 and 259,O76 in 1907.
While the statistics for april are not
yet complete they will show that the
increase has been maintained, and
that the totals will be as large as
those for April, 1907.
