THE RAILROAD QUESTION.

What with recent increases in ex-
penses owing to the high cost of liy-
ing, and the refusal of the Interstate
commerce commission to- permit them
to charge more for transportation, the
rail 'oads find themselves between the
upper and the neither millstones. H.
I s. Priest of st. Louis, one of the lead
ing railroad lawyers in the country,
and attorney for the receivers of the
Frisco railway company, thus stated
the situation in recent interview:
The railroads are in a peculiar
situation. The price of everything
that enters into the cost of operation,
including taxes, has increased They
have not been allowed to advance the
price of transportation. If these great
arteries of exchange and distribution
| are strangled or starved to death, the
result must invariably be disaster to
every other business. The trend OF
Legislation has been and is to protect
private capital until it is invested in
railroads, when it ceases to be priv
ate capital and becomes property sub
| ject to legislative expectation, both
! state and federal
Under such condition no one is
anxious to invest money in any form
I of railroad securities and does SO
oily under speculative conditions or
| in taking the gamblers chance. Rail
roads must be managed by their own
ers. They must be owned either by
1 the government or by private per-
CONS. II owned by the former its
Ownership gives it the right to deal
with them as 1t may please. If own
ed by private capital, it must be al.
lowed to manage them as 1t may
please, subject only to the obligation
| to give adequate service at a price
which is reasonable for the service
rendered. without regard to the profit
(which the owners may make In rem
dering such service. Any other rule
of trade will in the end be disastrous
to the country, because dishonest and
immoral
Mr.. Priest has stated the case ex.
actly as 1t is. n our railroads are to
continue their present high standard
of efficiency and safety they must De

yestment and for services rendered
otherwise results will be disastrous

Doctors orders.

Theodore Roosevelt testified on
the stand that he never drank whisky
or brandy except under doctors or
ders.)
When all the birds were singing. just
about Creations dawn,
Eve told our old friend Adam that he
ought to NOV the lawn. f
That night he came in weary, with an
ache in every limb,
And ate a piece Of apple that his good
wife slipped to him.
When chided for this sad mistake, he
didn't turn away,
But pointing at his trembling wife,
these few words he did say:
she's the doctor!"
centuries ago
Packed up lot OF food and drink to
make his tummy grow.
On peacock tongues and robin lungs
he dined from morn till night
And drank red wine in tankards when
he wasn't drinking white.
When some brave courtier told him
that his stomach would get
strained,
In these sad words brave Lentulus his
gluttony explained:
Doctors orders!"
So lives of all great men should re-
mind US now and then
That when we want to take a nip. or
three, or six, or ten,
We ought to see some grave M. D. and
get slip Of paper;
To see the doctor afterward is not the
proper caper.
Thus may we drink with dignity, and
II we pass away,
Upon our marble monuments the
sculptor man can say:
Doctors orders."

CARE OF INDECENT CONSUME.
TtVES

The whole responsibility for the
care and treatment Of INDECENT per-
sons suffering with pulmonary tuber-
culosis Is now squarely placed upon
county boards OF supervisors This
was accomplished when last winter
the legislature enacted law by
which boards of supervisors were
authorized to make adequate provi-
sion for the care and treatment of
persons suffering with this disease.
1t is recognized that hospital care Of
this class of individuals is the only
proper method by which to control
the spread of their dreadful infection.
The people are thoroughly aroused
to this necessity and are demanding
OF the men invested with this respon-
sibility that something be done.
The law Is plain. 1t authorizes
county boards to either provide local
hospitals Or to arrange with institu-
lions already in operation for the
proper care of tuberculous sick.
Boards MAJ expend $500 per week
per patient SO treated. The law is
regarded as most beneficent and
everywhere well-informed people are
demanding that supervisors shall
examine carefully into the question.
A cursory investigation reveals the
fact that there are few cities in the
state which do not have number of
advanced consumptives who need Inn
mediate hosrital care. They are a
menace to the entire community and
humanity demands that they shall be
properly treated 1t would be we'll if
intelligent men and women formed
themselves into groups to study the
whole question of the control and re-
lief of tuberculosis and its great
value to humanity. 1t would be we'll
to communicate at once with the de.
partment on tuberculosis, regarding
the matter. 1t may be interesting to
know that quite number Of boards
of supervisors are already planning
to carry out the law.

Others were on their way. 1t is the
lower priced American car which
seems to be finding great favor with
French motorists according to the re-
port. Nothing In France for twice the
price, even counting in the freight
charges and the duty, compares in
quality or appearance to the American
makes, it is declared. In many In
stances, 1T is said, the very costly
French cars have failed to give the
service given by the vastly cheaper
American cars.

You may talk about the mountain
breeze
And the odor of the pine,
The grandeur Of the Rockies
And the guarded Rhine;
But for me the rolling prairies
Where the yagrant zephyrs play
Like angels round the throne of God
In dear, old Iowa.
The oceans spray is balm they say
To men of shattered will,
The sunny south, in winter time,
Makes languid pulses thrill;
But for me the upland hillsides
Where the winter winds hold sway.
And snow drifts bridge the valleys
In dear, old Iowa.
You may sing about the lotus bloom,
Where the tropic waters dance,
Or lilies fair beyond compare
In wales of sunny France;
But for me field of clover
Where the shattered sunbeams gay
Caress the sea OF tangled bloom
In dear, old Iowa.
The fertile valley of the Nile
Is famed in story old.
The Yukon's turbid waters rush
Across its sands of gold;
But for beauty, find the valley
Where the Wapsie winds its way,
Or the lazy Boone drifts dreaming by
