Constructive Railway Policies.

SVusbAuCtlto hallway IOllClbb.
A Railway Business Association
Bulletin. dealing with legislation and
executive policies affecting the rail-
roads, makes much OF the claim that
viewing the whole country the most
far-reaching tendency is a diminu-
ton or complete cessation of law
making affecting the carriers" 1t
goes on to show that:
Most striking OF all. the. states which
have been pioneers In regulation nd have

Ftruoiive policy affecting railways and In
many instances affecting industry and

1t then quotes several governors at
the recent conference OF governors
rs enunclating such constructive
policies, Governor Aldrieh being
quoted as emphasizing the impor-
lance OF having the railroads thrifty
and prosperous and making .egitl-
mate dividends upon actual invest
ments.''
Why, then, In face of these facts
do other interests profess apprehen-
sion over the situationg But this
Bulletin IN entirely overlooking the
real point II II does not see that the
reason for this cessation In railroad

abuses calling Ter legislation have

Christian Science NiewpOint.
OMAHA, Nov. 6.--1o the Editor Of The
Bee: An article In The Sunday Bee
quotes from "a book" Cthe tit.e not given,
written by an unnamed professor" who
seeks to discredit Christian Science and
liz leader by repeating allegations too
often refuted 20 be seriously considered
By an enlightened public
In the limited space of a brief para
graph this anonymous professor" incor-
rectly classifles Christian Science, con
dennis his own misconceptions Of its
methods, catches a glimpse OF Ste pur-
pose, but obscures his vision by denounc-
ing It's leader, irrespective Of age OF YER
aclty.
The superficial observer may deem all
mental methods identical, but the honest
investigator soon learns that no analogy
exist between Christian Science. based
upon the Divine Mind, as the only con
sciOusness, and other metaphysical sys-
TENS dependent upon the human mind and
It's modes. Christian Scientists under
stand that In exact ratio Of their obedi-
enoe 10 God are they freed from human
despotism. consequently they deprecate
personal control and eschsw esoteriC
methods.
The life and work of the leader OF
/ Christian Science is a true index to heI
character and are so well known thai
any attempt TO impugn her motives OF
! acts must prove sbortive. Her insistent
! admonltion TO follow her only as she
follows Christ is a sufficient denial Of
the accusation that she demands obedi
ence to personal requirements.
The Christian Scientist is not com
PEELED TO be a book agent" but he is in
spired by gratitude to recommend the In
quirer 10 a careful study OF literature
which opened his own eyes TO mans God
given dominion over evil. He assuredly
regards the healing of sickness and sir
as the "be-all and end-nll OF human life,

tian Science, will be carried to compile

Crack High school Foot BaItfst.
OMAHA Nov. 6.--To the Editor of The
Bee: In The Sunday Bee l was a very
Interested reader Of an article which
was resume of the history OF the
Omaha High school foot ball elevenB The
writer Of your article has evidently over
looked some OF the best players ever
turned out by this school or any other
high school. For instance, there was
Eugene (Gene) Tracy, the greatest half
back Of them all, and with the exception
Of VIII Englehart, the brightest star
who ever wore a moleskin for our high
school. Tracy. though comparatively
light, was one Of the longest and surest
ground gamers turned out by any west
ern high school. He had a natural high
knee" action when running with the ball
which made him practically impossible to
tackle successfully. III l am not mistaken
Tracy was member of the high school
team from 1899 to 1901, inclusively.
Then there was Harry Welch, who
played tackle on the eleven with Tracy.
Surely no one could forget the tower OF
strength he added to the high school
line. with his weight, great strength and
clear head. win Thirkles. the lamented
colored boy who died while yet in
school, was Tracy's mate at half for a
season and one half. Thirkles was one
of the best-liked students in the whole
school and was a veritabe demon as a
sure ground galner and tackler on the
team. To those of US who were students
in the high school from 1898 TO 1909 and
who have followed the records of the
a..
taken to the fact that OF points made for
the team no one player contributed more
than Guy Thomas. who played end.
Thomas, besides being swift as lightning
and remarkable taokler, was without a
peer as a punter. To anyone who Wit
messed the game between Tarkio college
and Omaha High school the way Thomas
saved the day by punts ranging from
fifty TO sixty yards was revelation and
there could be no question of his ex-
;reme power as a punter.
Now, my memory may play few tricks
with me aa to the exact number OF years
tho above players wore the "O.HS."
sweaters for proficiency In foot ball, but
4 II Is perfectly accurate as to the ability
az these players. ! am sure that there
~ any number who will agree with me.
In fact the team which was whipped into
shape from 1879 TO 1901 was almost OK
ciusiyely one OF stars. There might be
named In addition TO the above, Tom
Brown, Il eolorod boy, Roberts, Griffith
standeven, Lehmer, Hutchinson, Marsh
and CoryslL Without 6isputing the state
ment concerning later players It seems
impossible 20 write at ali OF the various
teams without first mentioning Engle-
hart, Tracy, Thirkles Welch and Thomas
and then the other as / have stated.
