Of King Patrick, Famous pessrter
and Slave lmpounder.
In looking around for site for ii
naval station which would be of stra.
tegic importance In the protection Of
the Panama canal the United States
government entered into negotiations
with Ecuador for lease Of the Gala
pages islands, Ia the Pacific off the
coast Of South America. So great.
however, was the demonstratiye wrath
of the people Of Ecuador that I.resi-
dent Alfaro promised to drop corsid-
Grafton of the lease. Consequently
Uncle Sam probably will not come into
the possession, for one thing, of the
only giant tortoises known to exist.
For years the Galapagos have been
noted for these strange creatures and
for little else, except possibly the cu-
rious sea postoffice established there ii
hundred years ago or more by whalers.
Callers at the sea postofilce after de-
posting mail there have had a chance
to disport themselves by taking ride
ON the back OF giant tortoise.
The tortoises Of the Galapagos are
said to be the last survivors of the
reptiIian age, to which belonged the.
huge dinosaurs and other creatures
Of which only fossils remain. Accord
ing to visitors to the islands. these tor.
tolses have sometimes reached length
of seven or eight feet. The toriolses
have very shiny necks and cruel look
ing heads and are of dull earthly
color. It Is said to be comparatively
easy to mount the back of one or
them, and with the aid Of stick to
keep your balance you can enjoy a
novel ride. The tortoises have made
deep paths all over the islands. They
do not appear to be dying OF.

Perhaps because there are thirteen

merits Property Goes.
United ,tates mail bags are used in
some 70 egn countries as material
for clothing, for saddlecloths and for
packs on mules. This curious fact
was developed by an Investigation into
the circumstance Of steerage passen-
ger who arrived at New Orleans few
weeks ago having her belongings care
fully tucked away in a mail bag Of
the United States The woman came
from Guatemala. Her belongings were
seized by the customs officers, and she
was detained. She explained that she
acquired the mail bag In Guatemala,
where it was on sale, not knowing
that she was committing any wrong.
After an examination she was dis
missed. -"
It is shown by the records Of the
postoffice department that a large num-
Der of mail bags in which foreign
mail is sent disappear each year, but
it is impossible to keep definite trace
Of them. Diplomatic representatives
Of the government have reported from
time to time that the material used In
United States mail bags frequently is
found in possession of natives of coun-
tries like those of Guatemala. The
loss sustained by the United States
through the disappearance Of mail
bags, however, is comparatively small,
not exceeding probably $50 year.

Live and Let Live.

Said Howard Elliott; president Of
the Northern Pacific railroad, in his
address to the National Association
of Manufacturers in New York the
other day: "The welfare of the people
of this country, of the manufacturers,
and of all business, including the rail-
road business, are all interdependent,
and in the long run there must be
proper relations between them and the
government and fair and Irresponsible
treatment of and by each to permit
that progress in this country which it's
marvellous resources and intelligent
population justify
That's fair enough, and its truth is
beyond cavil. The sooner everybody
concerned realizes it, the better for all
concerned. The welfare of the people,
of the railroads and of industry are
all bound up together, and when one
suffers all suffer. When one gains
unfairly at the expense of the rest,
there is dissatisfaction, unrest, agita-
ton disorder. What is most desirabl
in this country is some arrangement
whereby there shall be ''proper rela'
lions bet ween them and the government
and fair reasonable treatment of and
by each. - ..

view. The public was source of pro.

of too many Of them, and it 10 this
attitude that has made all the trouble.
That situation Is getting better. 1t
has been borne in upon the conscious
ness Of the average captain OF indus
try that there is q power higher than
his, and that it is going to be exerted.
Where q few years ago the captain OF
industry was arrogant and defiant,
now he is recognizing that the people
have rights that must be respected, and
he is saying so.
These great aggrega atoms of capital
must be either the masters of the peo-
pie or their serv ants. 1t ought to be
clear enough now to anybody that
they are going to be masters no longer.
How shall they be made servants?
There are but two ways. Either the
people will regulate them, through
their government, or they will own
them, through their government.
Whatever the future may bring, the
people are not yet ready for owner
ship. They are ready for regulation
and regulation will have fair trial.
Mr.. Elliott also said in his New York
speech: publicity of corporation
affairs and reasonable regulation of
the great business institutions of the
country are desirable, but attempting |
to manage in detail such concerns and
continual and foolish interference
with the judgment of men trained in
that management is unwise and un-
American. AS to that, there will be
difference of opinion between the peo-
pie and the managers. Regulation

lealing.
