sibilities on the Observation-Disclosures
Virginia Peninsula" has Just been
issued by the Pennsylvania Railroad.
1t calls the attention of farmers,
prospective farmers and home seek
ers to the agricultural opportuni-
ties in this region. 1t is attractive
ly gotten up and contains ifty-two
pages and twenty illustrations.
Besides discussing soil and eli
matte conditions, the pamphlet deals
with the price Of land and contains
valuable Information on the best

one hand, and judicial dignity on the
other, sits by and watches the
wheels go round. He is a man of In
dependent means who does not need
to serve his country unless his coun-
try needs him. In fact, the only real
use Representative Boutell has for
any public position is to give him a
vent to exercise his extraordinary
abilities and his unconquerable en-
ergy.
Good Thing For Tawney
James A. Tawney, chairman of the
house committee on appropriations,
and the backbone of the house or
ganization in many a hard-fought con-
test on the floor, will be still another
notable among the missing in the
Sixty-second congress after a Ncon.
tinuous service of eighteen years in
the house. 1t is Mr.. Tawney's inten-
tion to resume the practice of law,
which profession he followed before
going to Washington. Whether he
wishes or not, however, Mr.. Tawney
is literally in the hands of his friends,
who insist that he shall be given as
good place in the service of the
United States government as Presi-
dent Taft has at his command. Con-
sequently, he is being mentioned as
prospective member of President
Taft's cabinet, should a vacancy oc-
cur, and as governor of the Panama
Canal Zone. For the latter Office, he
has the Endorsement not only of his
republican colleagues in the house,
but Representative A. S. Burleson, of
Texas, one of the leading democratic
members in that body, has promised
openly the support of his democratic
colleague. Both suggestions were
wholly unsolicited by Mr. Tawney.
1t is safe prediction that if both
OF these jobs were handed to Mr..
Tawney today ON a silver platter,
he would take the latter for senti-
mental reasons. The construction of
the Panama canal has been the leg
islative pet of Mr.. Tawney ever since
the work on that waterway began.
He has visited Panama every year
for the past several years to inspect
the work and to hold hearings on
the estimate of appropriations needed
to carry on the work to a conclusion.
Every dollar that has been appropri.
ated by congress has been appropri-
ated on the recommendations of Mr..
Tawney's committee, and neither the
house nor the senate has ever chang
ed by so much as a dollar the recon-
mendations for appropriations for the
canal work as made by the house
committee on appropriations. This is
remarkable record inasmuch as last
year Mr.. Tawney cut the canal esti-
mates $10,000,000 below the figures
agreed upon by the army engineers
who are charged with the RESPONSE
bility of digging the waterway at the
least cost and in the smallest space
of time consistent with first-class en-
cheering work. Last autumn, when
Mr.. Tawney visited the canal, he was
glad to find a surplus in the treasury,
greater amount of work done than
he had anticipated, and no parsimony
necessary anywhere as result of his
reduction in the estimates of the year
before. 1t is known that Mr.. Tawney
had cherished the ambition that he
might be allowed to remain in con-
gress at the head of the appropriation
committee until the last shovelful of
earth had been removed from the
Las Vegas optic., 1911-02-28

Panama canal. For this reason, it is
believed by his friends that any offer
made to Mr.. Tawney to connect him
officially in a position of responsible
ity with the Panama canal could not
and would not be turned down by him
except after the most careful consid-
Grafton, at least.

Especial Correspondence of The Argus.)
Washington, Dec. 2.-How long
must the people continue to pay ex-
press companies a profit of 40 per cent
a year on money that is not invested
in the express business, and that ex-
lists in blue air only?
This is a question that the people
desire answered, judging from the
ever increasing number Of communi-
cations on this subject that are being
received from all parts of the United
States by members of congress.
INSTANCES BY THE SCORE.
The attention of your correspondent
has been directed to more than a score
of these communications within the
last day or two. Interest in the sub
ject seems to have been augmented
by the report Of Prosecutor Frank
Lyon Of the interstate commerce COM
mission.
"Out here In Iowa We do not object
to having express companies make a
good, liberal rate of interest on money
actually invested" writes a resident
of Ottumwa, Iowa. THE thing that
arouses our disgust Is that the govern
ment permits the express companies
to extort a profit Of from % to so per

Comment From Capital

cent on capitalization that Is two
thirds water. l would like to see a
parcels post established in this coun-
try, such as they have in every other
first class nation on the face of the
globe. If we can't have a complete
system, why can't we have a limited
system, at least, to be operated be-
tween hhe larger cities and a few Of
the neighboring towns? This would
act as starter, at least, and pave the
way for a more complete system"
AN ENORMOUS INCOME.
Mr.. Lyon, in his report, shows that
the total incomes of all the companies
amounts to s132, 100000 annually. This
sum, divided by the number Of tons
hauled, shows that the charge for car
rying express matter is s3120 per ton.
The average express rate is 16 times
the freight rate, the latter being $3.50
per ton. The net income from the ex-
press companies operation is $11,000,-
600, and on their own valuation of
$27 100000, their profit is shown to be
approximately 40 per cent. 1t is known
that the actual value Of the express
companies equipment Is only about
one-third of what they allege it is, SO
that their profits on the actual capital
invested runs up to more than 100 per
cent.

Marrying in Haste.

Judge Hugo Grimm OF st. Louis told
a woman who had married a man
after an acquaintance of only three
weeks and who had separated from
him after only three weeks OF mar.
ried life that she was not entitled to
a divorce, though she was granted it
The st. Louis Star, in commenting
on the case. says mo person guilty of
supreme folly deserves to be relieved
from the penalty OF the folly"
This Is the old doctrine OF marry
in haste and repent at leisure" The
fact Is the divorce courts are. or at
least should not be, maintained for the
mere benefit OF persons who are
weary Of the marriage tie and wish to
be released. but for the good OF So
ciety at large.
II Is true that many marriages arc
unhappy. but happiness. as it is gen.
orally understood. is not the prime
object OF life, but duty, duty TO ones
self. ones husband or wife, ones chill
dren and society. The man or woman
who starts out in life with the thought
that the world owes TO him or her
just so much Of happiness" which
generally is supposed 10 mean selfish
qualification, is going to meet disap
pointment. The true life Is one Of self
sacrifice and Of devotion TO duty day
by day, and IL is the only kind OF life
that can bring true happiness to a per
son whether married or single

Hasty marriages should be avoided
but IL is not true that they always tur1
out unhappy. Men and women VIII,
have known and associated with eacl
other for years have found out afte
marriage that they made a mistake Il
supposing that they were suited I
one another. The true remedy 70
this condition lies not in the divorc

Dear Mrs. Thompson am going to
refurnish our living room What kind
of wood would you advise me to get
and would you have 1t all Of one kind?
Also please give me any other ideas
that may occur to you. MRS. T.
The kind OF wood to be chosen is
a matter of personal taste. What
has already been said about simplicity
applies here. The richness should
manifest itself in small things, as in
pictures, bric-a-brac and other orna-
ments. Uniformity in the kind of
wood, as well as in the color of the
coverings, is quite essential. If you
select mahogany, have all mahogany;
if oak, have all oak. This contributes
very materially to the repose which is
the true test of an artistic and well
arranged room
Dear Mrs. Thompson-Do you know
what will remove iron rust from ging
ham? MIRIAM.
To remove iron rust from Bingham
soak in sour milk and then wash with
soap suds.

A republican paper, edited in
Cleveland, Ohio. says: 1T is also
clear that in the democratic camp
the Bryan sentiment is much strong
er than 1t has been supposed to be
by most of the active managers Of
the democratic party. Tests of the
feeling of the rank and file of the
party-the voters upon whom demo-
cratic candidates must depend
show that Bryan is stronger than
Harmon in Harmon's own state and
indicate that the Nebraskan would

THE REAL PULITZER

for his work in 1t? Did he elevate
it, or did he defle it?
1t is hard to say. because the
newspaper profession is so queer.
Its main business is publicity and
advertisement, both of them more
or less odious. Some things that
are vices in a man are virtues in a
newspaper. To be considerable of
the feelings of others, reluctant in
disclosure, modest, charitable, is
highly becoming to man, but when
newspaper has these virtues you
take in another to find out what is
going on.
At all kinds of newspaper work
Mr.. Pulitzer seems to have been re-
markedly handy and not disdainful
of any of them. His labors were
as unenviable as they are unrivaled.
No wise man would undertake them
at any price. 1t seems to us he left
reporters work a greater trial to
self-respect than he found 1t and
the whole profession more repellant
to aspirants who regard the feel
ings of their fellow creatures. But
very likely what newspapers lost
through him in decency they gained
in efficiency. A paper absolutely
disrespectful of persons has at
times great value. Mr.. Pulitzer
seemed as insensible and regardless
as an earthquake and when large,
| formidable and rotten edifice of re
spectability or Of disrepute has
needed shaking down, the World
has sometimes reflected his qualities
greatly to the public advantage.
Such men as he keep civilization
from crystalizing. They are trying
and in some ways expensive, but
they are apt to be worth what they
get and what they cost. The dry
rot of responsibility and the ascend
ency of intrenched privilege ar
much more dangerous than the.
are. The more snakes and biggel
the more indispensable Is the mon
goose.
