parison in the resultant benefits and
it is strange that the intelligence Of the
Ames school Ia not turned to greater
efforts to illuminate our road problem
with detailed instruction as to what
can be done in the building Of perma-

It has remained for the Times-R RE

possibilities in this respect and while
a newspaper management Is sometimes
fully as competent to figure the prac-
teal possibilities in the way Of public
improvement as q college educator its
finding in the matter is too apt to be
passed carelessly in the reading as a
newspaper story" while the same an
from an engineering school
will receive attention. Let the Ames
school give us report upon the prac-
ticabilitiy Of concrete pavements twelve

ment district much as large drainage

A Custom to 3. Stopped.
(ChicaeO Tribune. }

There Is nothing in railroad affairs
that Is more in need of drastic correc-
ton than the relation Of railroad Off
Gals with enterprises whose profit de-
Ponds upon selling supplies to rail-
roads : president or vice president or
director has no business to throw the
burden of conflicting duties upon his
dual capacity. Perhaps in many cases
he keeps his hands off and tries to be
fair to both interests. But In other
cases, as the public knows, he has UNI
scrupulously MIXED the one for the
benefit of the other.
One form Of this evil is nepotism, by
which sons Or nephews or brothers or
high corporate officials are given posi-
tons in concerns whose business 1t Is
to sell to these corporations. If these
officials had to pay for supplies out OF
their own private pockets perhaps the
ties of relationship would not prove
stronger than that OF private interest.
Eut when they are merely corporate
officials and payment comes out Of the
earnings OF the corporation, 1t is only
common sense to recognize that there
will be favor shown and not much Of
that strict bargaining which stockhold-
ers have a right to demand of their
representatives and managers.
The prevalence OF these interlocking
relations is a SAD commentary on the
standards OF honor and trusteeship ex-
listing in the business world. Even
where no wronsdoing exists, the pos
sibility Of evil is present in the GUS
tom, and the conscience OF the business
community never should have permit
ted it to grow up.
But'since the sense of propriety and
responsibility of these officials and Of
the business world has not checked
this custom, it should be made illegal.
The field for corporate investment is
large enough so that none Of these men
need put their personal savings into
business related to that in which they
hold positions Of trust. Nor are their
sons and nephews and brothers con-
fined to that business.

Warming tho House.
IChristian Science Monitor. ]

Evansville, Ind, is working toward
the perfection of a system Of COM
munal house-heating that practically
every city, town and neighborhood in
this country is dreaming Of The dis
tribution of gas, Of water and Of cleo
tricity is a fact and reference to it is
almost commonplace. Ldtteriy the dis
tribution of power, in a broad meas
ure, has also become fact. Some
western American cities az well as
some in the American east have ex-
periemented with various heating sys-
tens. The distribution of hot water
within a limited area has been sue
cessful in one or two of the suburbs
Of Chicago. Advantage Of these
methods, however, can not be taken
by the average householder. Owing to
the leakage of heat in circulating the
hot water or steam thru underground
pipes the cost Of production increases
the cost Of service to the point where
enjoyment of it is confined to people
Of exceptional means.
In Evansville the steam created In q
central plant is used primarily Cor the
propulsion Of turbines that generate
the electric current. Instead OF going
thru atmospheric exhaust pipes, tine
exhaust steam is sent thru q system OF
heating mains and supplied to con-
sumers either at flat rates or thru
meters. Like other parts Of the coun-
try, Granville has passed thru q pc
riod Of intensely cold weather In the
present winter. 1t is claimed for the
heating system that even with the

The Best Sermon.

(Madison. Mimi. Independent Press.)
Friday night Of last week one Of the
fashionable churches Of Minneapolis
was heated and lighted and its doors
thrown open to any and all corners
who were not able to secure food and
shelter elsewhere for the lack Of funds
with which to pay for the same. Hot
coffee, bread and butter were served.
One applicant for food was an old lady
so years old. and another mere boy,
another railroad engineer out OF
work. That was the grandest sermon
ever preached in that church and along
right lines. Work Of this character by
the churches would reduce the suffer-
ings of the poor to the minimum and
result in church growth such as has
never before been experienced.

A TIP FOR AMES.

The department at Ames has issued
a bulletin explaining how the farmer
can install a private electric light and
power plant for approximately $500,
and it Is an Illuminating thing to con-
template. Electric lights, gas, auto
mobiles, foreign travel and almost any
thing are possible for the farmers these
days excepting one thing and that the
Ames College should give vastly more
attention than it does.
The thing that isolates the farm and
subordinates 1t to the city in the joys
of living 10 today as it ever was the
lack Of transportation. The first thing
thought Of in the village as it energies
from the chrysalis Of the farm is a
sidewalk or permanent thoroughfare
over which people can travel in all
seasons and in all weather. AS the vii
iage grows into the town the streets
ne paved for vehicles and when it be-
comes city the street cars are put in
operation. At all times the means OF
transportation is the basis Of the town.
But IN the country we are no farther
along than We were in the days OF
homesteading and we are several thou

Getting Back the 100000.
(Onaha Bee.)

Here is a schedule of prices which
dispatches say, has been virtually pre-
arranged in Baltimore for the accom-
mediation Of the delegates and visitors
to the democratic national convention
TO be held in that city next June:
First class hotels, $50 day.
Second class hotels, $40 a day.
Third class hotels, $50 a day.
First class lodging houses, $40 a
day.
Second class lodging houses, $50 a
day.
Other lodging houses. $50 a day.
In taxicabs. s. FOR the first half hour
and IS for each hour thereafter.
In Chesapeake Bay steamers. $50 per
state room.
Presumably Baltimore knew what 1t
was about when it put up the 500, 900
cash bonus that landed the democratic
convention. Presumably these hotel
keepers and other public service peo-
pie were not acting purely from phil
anthropic motives. There is such a
thing as casting ones bread upon the
water and, after many days. having it
return multiplied manifold. This
scriptural treasure may occur to some
bread and other bills when the con-
vention is over.
These figures, so reports say, repre-
sent only the outside service. All de-
tails, such as, for instance at a hotel,
bell boys, towels, ice water. ETC., will
come extra. The Salvation Army Bar
racks are said to be overcrowded now.
No sleeping will be permitted in the
convention hall after regular work
hours. The police will be INSTRUCTED to
prevent lounging on the streets. All
delegates, therefore, who have no rela
tives or other means Of free entertain
ment in Baltimore will be compelled
to seek refuge in a hostelry of some
sort. No guilty democrat will be al
lowed to escape. United States battle
ships in Chesapeake Bay, however will
salute the convention free Of charge.
Baltimore's slogan: Why be a con-
vention city unless you can get the
money? A most appropriate shibbo-
leth for the party of reform and re-
trenchment that puts its convention up
at auction.

Eight progressive governors Of eight
progressive states met in Chicago on
Saturday and declared themselves for
Theodore Roosevelt for president.
There can be but one meaning to this
action: Roosevelt will accept the
nomination IL it is offered to him.
This can be stated unequivocally.

State Subsidies ana Private Charity.
A frank attack on the state subsidy
Of charitable and educational institu-
lions was the feature OF a conference
held at Pittsburgh. With no mincing
OF terms says The Survey, speakers
told Of directors OF hospitals, OF the
heads of various charitable institu-
tons and of educators being forced
to close their mouths and refrain from
criticism of political corruption lest
they endanger the state appropriations
to institutions in which they are in
terested. 1t was charged that the ap-
Precipitation "bug-bear" is used to chain
the tongue of the college professor in
Pennsylvania who displays too active
an interest in reform movements; that
the charitable appropriations are in es-
sence corruption fund.
1.-THE attack upon the present system
was led by Prof. Carl Kelsey Of the
University Of Pennsylvania: w. H. Nj
becker OF Glenn Mills; Allen T. Burns
Of Pittsburgh; and William B. Buck Of
Philadelphia. In defense appeared
President Francis J. Torrance and Sec
rotary Bromley Wharton of the board
of public charities. Palliative meas
5ures suggested were the adoption Of a
system Of measured service; the CLASH
fication Of institutions doing what
might properly be considered the
states work; and the payment by the
state of SO much per case to appro-
pirate institutions"
Managers and directors Of important
charities in Pennsylvania are asking
themselves this question, for at re-
|icent meeting of social workers Of the
state, Professor Kelsey of the Univers-
ity Of Pennsylvania made the assertion
that state aid pauperizes private char
ity.
