The railroads need more money, on
the authority of President James j..
HILL who says that if there is no 9th
er way in which to get it, they will
be forced to increase freight rates.
The roads will need more money to
take care of the business next year.
Mr.. Hill says that they will not get
it out of the earnings or borrow 1t
when financial returns were growing
less in comparison with returns OF
other commercial lines. The limit is
reached also in economy of operation
and a raise in rates is the only solu-
ton He states the total value from
farm products this year ought to ex-
coed the value of last year by $780,
100000. Crops in the Northwest are
three weeks ahead of last year. Ev-
erything points to a record breaker
this year and Mr.. Hill predicts the
traffic next fall and winter will be
worse than ever experienced.

The Pennsylvania system has late
ly announced voluntary advance OF
six per cent in wages of all perman-
ent employees who receive less than
$500 month. That is the third vol
untary increase in the last eight
years. There are 100000 men in the
system and all but 5000 of these par
ticipate in the increase of wages
which involves an addition OF $l0,000,-
600 a year to the payrolls of the vari-
Gus companies forming the system.
1t is. the boast of the PENNSYLVANIA
that it has never made a general re-
duction of wages since the time OF
the strike and riot in 1877, a reduc-
ton which was restored three years
later, and ever since that time the
company has kept up it's rate of pay
with gradual increases in spite OF
times of depression and of dimin-
ished demand for labor.

Got the Best Of Mail Order Mar


A rather amusing story Is told OF
man who went into a hardware store
in neighboring town and wished to
purchase an axe, says an eastern pa
per. Being shown the article and IN
formed that the price was S1.15, he
said. why, can get that same kind
of an axe from a mail order house for
ninety cents" Very WE'LL said the
hardware man; 4 will give it to you
for the same price provided you will
do the same with me as you will do
with it." "All right replied the Gus
toner as he handed over dollar bill,
the merchant giving him back ten
cents in change. Now" said the
hardware man. q want twenty-five
cents more to pay express charges
which the purchaser gave him. How
much did your axe cost your 'One
dollar and fifteen cents" the man an
swered Very good, Now give me
five cents more for money order fees
and postage which the purchaser
had to hand over Now, how much
did your axe cost you?" One dol
lar and twenty cents said the Gus
toner Not so cheap, after all, said
the merchant, whereupon he picked
up the axe, tossed it back on the shelf
and told the customer to call for it in
fifteen days, as that would be as
soon as he could get it if he had or
dered it from the mail order house.

THE MAKING OF CORN.

What Is corn made out of and
where does it come from? OF course
it is not made opt of nothing. The
answer is that corn, in common with
other plants. is made out of food,
The food for plants is just as import
ant as the food for animals. In a
recent address DR.. Hopkins of the
Illinois Agricultural college told some
things of general interest concerning
plant foods. Among other things, he
said:
''One bushel of oats requires one
pound of nitrogen to produce the
grain and straw: one bushel of corn,
" pounds of nitrogen. one bushel OF
wheat, two pounds of nitrogen, If
YOU can't furnish the nitrogen you
can't make wheat. One ton OF aver
age fresh manure contains ten pounds
of nitrogen: one ton of clover hay,
forty pounds of nitrogen. Two-thirds
of the nitrogen is in the grain and
one-third in the stalks of corn or the
straw of small grain. These five facts
tell how much nitrogen you sell IN
the grain and how much is retained
They also tell how much nitrogen can
be returned to the soil in a ton OF
manure, and by blowing under ton
of clover"
1t will be noted that corn and
wheat make large demands on the soil
for nitrogen, which accounts for I'M
poverishment of the soil by these
crops unless adequate return is made.
Such return can be made by manur-
ing the land or by blowing clover
under. Still another method OF re-
storing nitrogen to the soil is by the
use of fertilizers obtained from the
packing houses, but they are quite
expensive Recently it has been DIS
covered that if limestone be decom-
posed by a strong current of electric
ity large amount of nitrogen is abb
sorbed from the air and fixed in the
resulting product in the course of the
operation There need be no sur
prise if important developments along
this line follow the completion OF the
Keokuk and Hamilton water power
project.

Her Part.


Her little hands are, oh, so weak,
Her little feet are useless yet;
She has not even learned to speak,
Nor to remember or forget,
But she has caused the clouds tnat
hung
Above the hills to disappear;
Because of her old hearts beat young
And all the joys are centered here
Her little arms are, oh, so frail.
Her little heart SO free from guile;
But earth would be dismal vale
If she forsook it for while.
She has not learned to praise or
blame,
Nor to remember or forgive,
But heaven is nearer since she came
And she has made it sweet to live.

The kinn pran.

Burlington Junction (Mo.) Post:
Don't stick UP your nose at the King
drag. 1t will make sour road look
sweet in less time than any other
device known to man The only OBJ
lection to it is that it is too darned
simple. 1t ought to have three of four
fly wheels, fifty or sixty cogs and a
few hundred coil springs attached to
it. Then if 1886 f. O. b. Chicago were
charged for it, it might come into gen
eral use. AS it is, it is handicapped
by cheapness. Nobody wants road
drag which costs only few boards
off the back fence, a bolt or two from
the windmill and fistfull of skinned
I-nuckles.

PROMOTING REAL. TEMPERANCE
Public Service Corporations Exclude
the Drink Habit.

Springfield Republican: The most
lasting advance that is being made in
temperance comes from the economic
side, the recognition by employers
and especially by those handling pub
lie service corporations, that they can
not afford u employ men who drink
liquor. The northwestern elevated
railroad of Chicago, for example,
recently posted the following notice.
mo employee is allowed to use
LIQUOR in any form when on iuty and
no employee will be allowed to work
when there is an indication that he
used liquor in any form before coming
to work, and the smell of liquor about
him will be sufficient. Employees who
are noted as having used liquor when
on or off duty. or who are found to
frequent saloons when off duty, will
be deemed habitual users of liquor
and are subject to dismissi, from the
service. Employees who go into saloons
when on duty in any capacity will be
discharged
This sets forth the policy that is
in force in every railroad entering
Chicago-and everywhere else, for
that matter while thousands of manu-
featuring establishments and stores
take the same position in effect either
through printed rules of the well
understood attitude of the firm or cor
| poration.
What is true of Chicago applies gen.
orally throughout the business world
| The old type of hailfellow well met
commercial traveller whose first
! thought was to take a drink is rapid
" passing. There are a few of them
left capable of attracting custom, who
are tolerated because of long service
but the young men entering on tina
line of work either cut out liquor FOL
themselves or are compelled by theil
employers to do so. One does no
have to be very old to have witnessed
an amazing revolution in this matter
II is one of the marks of uplift that tn
observer of open mind can motto
in American life all along the lin
The pessimists need to look aroun'
and cheer up; the old world is gettin;
better year by year!

M Reliaious sianlfieanee.

Waterloo Courier: The outcome OF
the refusal of Mr.. Roosevelt to see
the pope under terms limiting his
personal freedom, while rather SEN
sational from news point OF view,
is absolutely without significance as
affecting the relations Of Roosevelt
with the holy father or of the Protest
ant with the Catholic world. The re-
suit of the affair is merely one of per-
sonal choice on the part of both OF
the distinguished men The pope had
a right to name the conditions under
which he would see Roosevelt. The
American ex-Presfdent had perfect
right to accept or refuse the invita-
ton under the terms imposed
Both parties are right according to
the points of view taken. The bit
terness between the Catholics and
Methodists of Rome is so deep
that the two denominations seem UNI
4 able to have even common friend
or to receive compliments from the
same lips. The pope and his ad
4 visers evidently believed that Fair
banks would not have extended his
compliment to the Methodists if he
had realized the fact that it was Sc
displeasing to the pope whom he was
to see later The Vatican evidentl,
hoped to avert repetition of tht
Fairbanks affair by giving Roosevelt
just a little tip in advance Blu
Teddy is evidently not known as vel
in Rome as he is in the United States
Lest he seem to be yielding to a cuI
tailment Of his personal free will, h
decided to forego audience with tn
holy father.

The Poor Porters.

Waterloo Courier: When Pullman
car porter was recently dragged into
a New York court for exceeding the
speed limit, the judge asked him
whose chauffeur he was. 'Nobody's.
replied the negro, the car is mine ;"
In divorce suit against a taxicab
driver in the same city, the wife testi-
fed that her husband made 500 a
week, mostly in tips. Also the wife Of
a waiter in applying for alimony said
her husband drew that amount every
week. OF course we do not begrudge
the fellows what they earn but at
the same time advise them to make
an effort to keep secret the extent of
their profits from the poor, over
worked mortals who contribute to the
good cause. There might be regula-
ton in this line some day.

MUNICIPAL EFFICIENCY,

The commission form of government (
as adopted by Keokuk and other Iowa
cities, contains a feature known as
the recall. Briefly, the holder of any
elective office may be removed at any
time by the electors qualified to vote
for successor of such incumbent. Es-
pecial emphasis was put upon this
provision by Mayor Cullum of Duluth,
Mimi. in his inaugural address deliv-
cred a few days ago. His words were
few but they tell the whole story re
garding the character and usefulness
of this municipal reform. Mayor Gull
lum said:
in the discussion of the desirable
ity of commission form of govern
ment' for the city of Duluth it should
be borne in mind that the phrase has
come to have almost as many mean
jings and interpretations as there are
persons using the expression. com
mission form of government which
contemplates only the Capitalization
of authority in the hands of five mea
lis not, in my opinion, what most OF
| the people want who advocate such
form of municipal government. They
do not want to withdraw power and
responsibility further from the people
4 than it is under our present form OF
government. nor do they want govern
Iment by the few. Such commission
form of government, in my opinion,
would mean oligarchy, with all the
potential disadvantages and curses
which have always become associated
with the history of every oligarchy OF
the mast. What the people want. In
my opinion, is the Capitalization OF re.
sponsibility and authority purely for
the purpose of increased efficiency;
but they are not willing to gain the
efficiency at the expense of popular
control. The people, therefore, are
willing to give the power to the few
provided thew retain to themselves tht
power which is involved in the use o
} such methods as the initiative, efer
endum and recall The initiative ant
referendur viii retain for the peopl
substantial control over legislativ
:. acts of the commission; the recall vii
retain for the people substantial
!, control over the officials. An invest
d cation of the efforts that have bee
l. made by other municipal ties to ador
n the commission form of governmen
A. will disclose that, as a rule, the peopl
@ have adopted it when it has containe
initiative, referendum and recall prov
sions and have rejected it when sue
provisions were not included
. Quite as pointed and true was Ma
- or Cullum's reference to municip
:, revenues in the same message:
