WHAT Ais BUSINESS?

That there is something wrong with
the business of the country appears to
be generally conceded, but no two au :
thorities appear to agree exactly upon
what it is The Philadelphia Records
diagnosis of the case is as follows:
The complaints of railroad managers
that they are being prosecuted by pup
lie sentiment and congress have had .
good deal more effect in soaring invest
ors and depressing shares than legisla-
ton has had The railroads are not
suffering from sluggish business more
than other interests. Their gross earn
ings are now larger than year ago by
a larger percentage than the increase
of population and wealth They anG
their organs complain of persecution
unless their gross earnings increase 10
or Is per cent year When business
runs ahead of population and wealth.
like that periods of reaction to allow
consumption to eaten up WITH prouuc-
ton are inevitable.
The action of the government has
protected the railroads from the dram
of masses. rebates and from most OF the
rate cutting The best railroad oplIi-
ion is that the condition of the bust
ness justified the interstate commerce
act and the creation of the commission

There is nothing in the legislation or

+y,,sts are a very recent development
Tbev are organized for the purpose
Of s1,nDressing competition and getting

PARTY LINES DISAPPEARING.

Probably no one thing has contribu-
ted so much to the breaking down OF
party lines in this country as the
adoption of the commission form of
government by a large number of
cities and towns.
Republicans have been voting for
Democrats, and Democrats for Re
pubIcans. while Socialists have been
voting for either of the other parties
Unfortunately.
In San Francisco recently the prl-
mary election showed to what extent
party lines are being wiped out in all
sections of the country Again in Phil
adelphia, more recently, the Democrats
nominated a protective Republican as
candidate for mayor, and worked Tor
him as though he were the sturdiest
member Of their party
More and more the people of the
country are coming to regard the prin-
ciples of the Republican and Demo
cratic parties as affecting the affairs
of the nation, and as having nothing to
do with the business of smaller COM
munities 1t is conceded now, even by
the Democrats. that a protection Re
publican may give a more careful and
economical administration of city
than a Democrat possibly could give,
while Republicans, knowing the worth
of some prominent Democrat, no long
er refuse him their votes because of
his party affiliation.
It is becoming almost impossible to
arouse interest in the principles of the
big parties in local elections these
days. The question to be decided in
such elections is not one of principle,
but of the character and ability of the
man who will head the local govern
ment. All things being equal, it makes
little difference about the party fealty
OF the candidate.
If the tendency to disregard party
ties continues. it will not be long before
the nation itself will refuse to be
moved by argur- ents on old-time poll
teal policies, and will look merely to
the character of the men who are pro-
posed for administration of its affairs.

GETHSEMANE-

In golden youth, when = the earth's
A summer land for joy %nd mirth,
When souls are glad and hearts are h8nt
And not a shadow turks in sight,
We do not know it but there lies
Somewhere beneath the twilight SKIES
A garden each must some time see,
And suffer in-Gethsemanei
With joyous steps we go our ways,
Youth lending beauty to the days;
Light sorrows sail like Clouds afars
We laugh and think how strong we are,
We frohc on, and hurrying go
Close to the borderland of woe
That waits for you and waits for me
Our garden of Gethsemanel
Down Swallowed lanes, across strange
streams,
Bridged over by our broken dreams,
Behind the misty cape of years,
Close to the great salt lake OF tears,
This garden lies. Try as you may,
You cannot miss it on your way.
All paths that have been, or shall be,
Pass somewhere through Gethsemane-
And all who journey, soon or late,
Must pass within this gardens gate;
Must knee1 alone in darkness there
And battle with some fierce despair
God pity those who cannot say
mot my will-ThineY' Who only pray,
.Iet this cup pass" and cannot see
The purpose in Gethsemane!

His Humor Saddens Him.

I'D give $50, 900 never to have said
anything funny" said Simeon Ford.
The humorist sat in his office in the
Grand Union hotel, and appeared dole
full He just had returned from Europe,
and asserted that the thing he did not
wish to do was to give an interview.
Pm going to give up being funny
Ford continued. I'm going cut of my
way to say bromide things. Hence
forth yours truly will stick to the path
where there's no such thing as fun. A
funny mans life becomes miserable.
never would have been heard of as a
humorist had it not been for a news

Ford stretched his long legs and
gazed out of the window. He said his
hobby is golf not humor.

delegations came from all over the
country to get me to make after-dinner
speeches" Ford went on Actually
they came from Oklahoma and asked
me to come out to one of the towns

attic asylums and have a perfectly
glorious time. I was also to speak at a

EVERY Monday morning they send to
the docks with a basket, do those hotel
men, and they think it fine when the
porter returns with a basket of Ice,
covered with an old red petticoat. And
that's enough to last them for week.
When the strike came on they did not
have any ice. Then perhaps they real
lied the great need of it."
When Ford and his friend reached q
town in Holland they went for a walk.
The Americans attracted much atten-
ton. Ford said it was evident the Hol-
landers were too polite to laugh, so
they grinned.

the clerk smiled.
Say cried Ford. what's the mat
ter with me?"
"Oh. nothing" replied the clerk, but
your pipes are so funny" Then he
laughed.
''And that was the cause Of the
grins,'' said the humorist why. I
never use a pipe, and only bought one
to smoke there because I thought I
would do in Rome as the Romans do
He was told, he went on. the Dutch
men had abandoned pipe smoking.
They're getting too modern in that
country" he asserted.

have high tariff until the country is
forced to grow it's own supplies.
