GOVERNMENT REGULATION.

AT first what a trcmor ran
through the business world when
It was proposed to regulats the
railroads. Before 1887 the inter
ference OF the government with
private business was thought
wildly radical. Today there Is
not voice raised against the
right of the government In such
matters. and the railroads are
more prosperous than ever be
fore. It will be the same with
the great industrial corporations
when the government has finally
worked out its ends. You will
never get any self regulation
from tho corporations any more
than you got 1t from, the rail
roads. The government must
act, and when 1t has acted you
win find that the corporations
will accept regulation and flnd
that there IL still a profit In do
ing business lawfully. Profess
sor Albert Bushnell Hart Of Har-
ward.

People seldom stop to consider how
much their town means to them.
They take it too much for granted
and in counting up thier blessings
make a superficial inventory that fails
to credit the source from which many
of their dearest benefits flow. It is
easy to overlook the home town in
summing up ones happiness because
the town is such a large. all-envelop-
ing thing-so large, in fact that it's
hard TO see-and the citizen blindly
draws sustenance from it like an in
fant from its mother.
Traced to their source most of
Iife's blessings will be found to have
their root in that aggregation of hu-
man beings and human interests known
as town. The town is the unit of
modern civilization and it is the
channel through which civilization
confers its benefits. There is scarcely
a phase of civilization that does not
find direct and specific expression in
the life organization of town that
is large enough to have a school, a
courthouse, library, bank, "a mill
a factory, a church, waterworks, a
brass band. a newspa per, and a rail-
road station. Representing education,
Jurisprudence. literature, finance,
industry, religion, hygiene, art, and
the commodities these institutions ex-
press all that is highest and best in
human achievement. II civilization is
good. then the home town is good. and
the citizens should be proud and
thankful of it. Instead of casting
wondering and envious glances at a
distant New York. let rs glow with
pride for cur own little city, realiz-
ing that the difference is only one Of
degree and not of kind.
This town was built around the first
store, not around a mail order cata-
logue. -Dslles Chronicle.
