to the lookup. When they came to ar
raign me before a justice, it wasn't
for maliciously trying to wreck a rail-
read that had never paid dividends,
but for ~vagrancy, and his honor gave
me ten days in the county Jail. I
called the attention of the court to the
fact that under the law of every state
in the Union, a vagrant was one with
out money, whereas I could show 50
in cash.
That's contempt of court and you
get ten days more!'' says he.
But I'll take an appeal
That's more contempt and you get
thirty in allr"
therefore I said no more. I uppos he
was ready to run it up thirty years if
I had kept on talking
There was no other inmate of the Jail
just at that time, and after the for
malities had been complied with the
jailer said to me:
Nov, hobo. you can be good and
have a beautiful time of it for the next
30 days, or you can be rusty and get
ME after you with a hot poker. If
you are good you'll be used like one of
the family"
I had got away with the cold hash and
corn coffee he set before me, he asked:

Good again. 1t will be one calls
two. and I'll win every cen you've got

but I thought this was a JAIL I
said.
So it's, and virtue is rewarded by
allowing the prisoners to play poker
with the jailer."
AS soon as we began to play I began
to win. and when I was 81 ahead of the
game the. jailer showed me into a cell
and furnished me with only bread and
water.
''Whyfore?" I asked.

piled. I agreed to lose if he would take
me back into the family, and two days

est in Traffic World.
The Wall Street Journal SAYS:

The Wall Street Journal "
To say that the state of Oklahoma
has sixty-three miles of railway line
for every ten thousand inhabitants
Kansas f~ifty-three, Texas |thlrty-eiSht,
Arkansas thirty-four, and missouri
twenty-five, V a false impression
of the railroad needs of those states
unless the density of population TO
area is considered. Il ignores the
most striking fact in railroad develop.
ment in the United States A mile OF
railroad in New England serves many
times more inhabitants than a mile OF
railroad in Texas; and the measure
of service is the capacity o. the road,
and not the population over a spalsely
inhabited area.
Came Before the Settler.
1t is the glory of r~aileoading in the
United States that the railway hea
has always been well in front of the
settler, thanks to private enterprise
and the fertile imagination of the Hills
and the H~arrimans, bic as Whit
tier says,
"Ciothed the waste with field of grain"
Canada has learned the trick from
US. but in no other country in the
world has this been the case. In
Europe railroads were extended, for
the most part into areas already well
populated, although even there their
extension has always meant the nu-
mericaI increase and wealth sof the
communities they servel@@Fhe exact
reverse to the courageous American
policy may be seen in the British colo
MES of South Africa, Australia and
New Zealand. In those colonies the
railroads are state owned: they extend
only when an increased population i'm
perfously demands them. State own
rship means politician ownership, and
they have extended, consistently, only
where they could serve h of
the party in power, by conciliating
more votes.
Territory Did Not Expand.
As a consequence, the populations
of these countries have practically
stood still, while that of the United
States, and latterly that of Canada,
have advanced by leaps and bounds.
New Zealand has natural advantages
which could easily sustain twenty-five
millions of people, and its population
now is less than a million. and it was
over seven hundred Thousand sixteen
years ago. South Africa, like Austria
liza, develops only its cities; while its
agricultural regions, like the tabled
"Great American Desert" lie idle for
want of cultivators.
Here is a lesson for the states of
the southwest. Capital is the great
taxpayer, but it must be handled gen.
tly lest it be taxed out of the state alto
gether. If railroad enterprise is en-
couraged and left free to work rou to
the point of adequat equipment,
senger service, it makes a profitable
return, but only by benefiting the
country it serves a t"hOuSandfOld for
every dollar it earns.
This study in prospective railroad
needs is commended to the public men
conviction of the Vail Street Journal
that their state and national patriotism
is above question, and that they only
want to know the facts.
