Culation and advertising, and the peO-
pie have been finding out things they
didn't know before.
The complete exposure of the pol
icy of hiring gunner and sluggers to
fight the battles of~the publishers has
forced them to let up on that Iawless
game, and they no longer can get
away with the play of having slug
gers make newsboys "eat" papers.
In fact, The Day Book has been
the most powerful influence for good
ever known in Chicago journalism,
and is already revoIutiOnizing the
newspaper business. People are find
ing out that there is one Newspaper
in town that isn't afraid to print any
news that is true news and of public
interest.
And the more truth The Day Book
prints, the more the other news
papers have to print; because if they
don't print it their readers find it out
through The Day Book and know the
big newspapers are cheating them in
not giving them the news.
One of the greatest journalists in
this country, who has been watching
The Day Book closely since it started,
recently said in a letter that he con-
sidered the Chicago Day Book the
most important social movement in
the world today, and the most i'm
pOTtant since the time of Luther.
And even if the TumOrs about the
Observation-Disclosures deal
prove to be Unfounded, there is bound
to be some such UpheavaI in Chicago
journalism soon, and all newspapers
will have to print the truth and rep
resent their readers instead of their
advertisers.
The Day Book will give some inter
esting particulars about Bent's war
on the Tribune among advertisers
later. It looks like an attempt to
force the Tribune to knUckle down to
Big Business and obey the orders of

Wordsworth on Real Estate.

There Is an interesting story of
Wordsworth, who went to call on Miss
Harriet Martineau at Ambleside, In
the house which she had built and laid
out, writes A. G. Benson in the Cen.
fury Magazine. There was q gathering
Of neighbors present, and Wordsworth
stood for long time at the window
contemplating the beautiful landscape
outside. Then he turned to the party
and said:
Miss Martineau, congratulate you
On your beautiful little domain. The
views are wonderful, and 1t will turn
out to be the wisest thing you ever did
In your life"
He paused for a moment, and the
guests expected some comment on the
uplifting effects of communion with
nature, but Wordsworth, with a fine
gesture, continued:
your property will certainly be
trebled in value within the next ten
yearB!"

REGULATING
TRAIN SPEED

The quicker click of switches
and frogs as the traveller passes
through railroad yards and across
functions tells story Of gradual
increase of train speed during re-
cent years. In view of recent &C
cidents the Interstate Commerce
Commission is drafting a bill that
would give it control over the rate
Of train operation.
Whether or not the public wants
the commission to control train
speed there seems to be some reac-
tion from the demand for racing
trains.
Up to recently a moderate speed
has got on the nerves of orr i'm
patient travellers. Yet even busy
people will freely waste an hour or
more day in proitless occupation.
But travellers will wait around an
hour for a train that saves Is
minutes.
With most persons it is a ques-
ton of sport. A fast train gives
the same feeling of exhilaration
that comes from the swift automo-
bile. The sight of flying villages
left behind gives a sense of power
and superiority and mastery of the
earth's big resources particularly
if the train charges an extra fare
for its rapid travel.
While the public will not toler-
ate needless delays, the time may
be ripe for more philosophical at
titude toward railroad journeys.
Let the traveller not consult his
watch so often, nor study the mile
posts to see how far below the pos
sible rs miles an hour he has fall,
en-.
A theatre of surprising interests
passes as you look out Of the cal
window. The ways Of men and
cities, the fortunes of agriculture
the competition of industry, are
spi cad before your eyes. If you
get Interested in the human drama
being played along your flight, &
few moments at the end of the
journey will not assume such trag
ic significance. Besides you will
not need as much life insurance.

PEARLS FIND READY MARKET
Those From tho Mississippi Only
Slightly Second In Demand TO
Deep Water Products.

Arkansas Is the greatest pearl pro-
ducing state In the Union, and hun.
dreds OF men engage In the pearl
hunt. 1t Is said that the fresh water
pearl Of Arkansas of the highest class
cannot be distinguished from the fin
est deep sea jewel Throughout the
south generally thousands of people
follow the pearl fishing industry and
make comfortable living at It. Up
to few years ago the jewel wealth
contained In the river beds Of the
Mississippi valley was completely hid
den. 1t was not supposed that the
fresh water mussel was a pearl bear
er, or that 1t had any value except for
fish bait.
The fresh water mussel is sought
now not only for the precious stone it
may have hidden in It's shell, but for
the shell itself, which Is manufac-
tured into stick pins, cuff links, and
buttons Of every description. The
shell fisheries have for years extend
ed far up the Mississippi river. A re-
cent writer on the subject puts fresh
water pearls into four classifications
true pearls, baroques, slugs, and
chicken feed.
The first, or true, pearls are of a
definite shape, and regular form,
round, oval, or pear shaped. These
command the highest prices. Baroques
are pearls of irregular form. Slugs
are low grade baroques. The smaller
size, the kind used in inexpensive
though genuine and neat jewelry, go
by the professional name OF chicken
feed.

MERELY A POPULAR BELIEF
Scholars Question Whether the Apple
Was the "Forbldden Fruit" In tho
Garden OF Eden.

Why and how 1t has happened that
the apple has been spoken of as the
fruit that was forbidden in the Gar
den Of Eden is one Of the great puz.
zles Of Biblical scholars. The fact IL
that in Genesis 8, where the incident
of the eating Of this fruit Of the Tree
of knowledge of Good and Evil' is
mentioned, no name whatever is given
to the fruit. All that is said is: And
when the woman saw that the tree
was good for food, and that 1t was
pleasant to the eyes, and tree to be
desired to make one wise, she took OF
the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave
also unto her husband with her; and
he did eat" (verse g..
In fact, scholars doubt very serious.
ly whether it was the apple at all.
They suggest that all evidence points
to 1t having been the ounce, fragrance
of which was held in the highest es-
TEEN by the Orientals. Another point
in favor OF the ounce is that it is the
fruit which was sacred to Venus, the
goddess of live, and in a great many
of the ancient writings the ounce Is
very frequently mentioned in this man.
