According to a Washington letter, xaizread men are beginning to be- ueve that the day is not far distant
 when the Government will own the railroads and operate through leases or franchises on a profit sharing basis.
 What would have caused a revo1u- ton a few years ago or even a. few 1aonzns ago is now accepted without very much excitement. One railroad man expressed proposition the other day in this manner:
 T believe that the railroads of the country would be much better off if 4he Government owned them or leas- ed them to private individuals or cor keeping moderate amount of the profits for the Governments portion. SFcday the situation so far as law ob- serva1ce is getting more and more difficult Railroads trying to observe the law will have additional difficult ties thrown upon them by those rail- roads which do not accept the law or attempt in any way to cooperate with the Interstate Commerce Com mission. Details of management are be1ng inquired into and interfered with i11 a manner that is equally un- Satisfactory for the Government and railroads. In my judgment the Gov erarne11t will own the railroads in Esvv few years or they will be oper- when that is done the railroad ques- lion will be eliminated and only then the country will have such peace as they have not enjoyed since the sbaoody shirt was eliminated from politics.

This is quite in harmony with the evident Pro-Beef Trust attf- tude of khe Administration which has apparently worked some of its bureaus overtime in efforts to show that high prices are Justified by ex- xsting conditions. An attempt to bring free-cattle and free-meats bill before the House may be made, but owing to fhe Insurgents blunder in allowing the majority of the new eommittee on Rules to be made up pr regulars, the measure cannot be Brought up for action, unless at the end of another prolonged fight be- tween the regulars and Democratic Insurgent combination.

FLIGHT Of BIRDS.


Rapid Wing Movement Does Not Al

Birds have different modes of flight.
Just as men have different gaits in
walking or running. Rapid wing
movement does not always imply
speed in flight any more than rapid
leg movement implies speed in walk
ing or running. With us It is the
length of the stride that tells ultimate

Speaking broadly, long winged birds
are strong and swift fiers; short
winged birds are feeble in fight.
When we consider that cumbrous.
slow moving bird like the heron moves
its wings twice per second when In
fight it is evident that many birds
have a very rapid wing movement.
Most small birds have this rapid
wing movement with feeble powers

as they prefer to do, they go very fast.
