s'One of the trouble says recent student OF

with open arms and kick the prodga daughter out Of
the back door,
That is often true And IT is A SHAME. The differ
ence anything should be in favor of the daughter She
is generally more snned against than shining She is
far less able to make her against circumstances And
she is a woman.

The Ninety and Nine

President Howard Elliott of the Northern Pacific is
quoted saying that there 100000 persons holding
railroad stocks. averaging $4,000 each.
There are of course nearly 10000O0O0 using the rail
roads, directly indirectly and paying in one form or
another all expenses of their operation including dvl
dends stocks.
! Up to recent date the laws made and admins
tered for the benefit of the in hundred owning the
railroads.
Now it is proposed to- revise that policy and have rail
roads conducted for the benefit of the ninety and nine
who use the railroads, but do not own them
The policy is the better by SO to 1.
