We used to roll up our eyes in pity for the Chi

barbarous idea which even the women of the celes-

There was report some time back that manu-
facturers of shoes were increasing the output of
larger sizes because the athletic woman was devel-
oping feet strong enough-to be used for the pur-
poses which nature intended If true the cult does
not seem to have spread to Illinois. But East or
West, there is great deal of unnecessary discom-

RAILROADS AND THEIR CRITICS.

When Mr. Hearst says that the statement that
attacks upon the railroads chiefly for political
ends is fooIishness. because such an attack would
have no weight except it had secure foundation in
the experience of the people, he states the simple
truth and makes very wise observation which rail-
read officials might we'll heed. In fact, any criticism
on corporation or public institution would fall flat
and does fall flat when there is nothing in the pub
lie consciousness or experience to warrant it. Our
public service corporations are extremely foolish in
keeping up this absurd pretense.
What is happening is that long series of abuses
have had the result of organizing and consolidating
public opinion which, while it without Crganiza-
ton and adequate expression it safe enough to
ignore and defy. Ii is equally foolish for these
institutions to imagine that mere smooth words and
nice behavior on the part OF officials are going to
settle questions of fundamental public wrong There
was time when this might have perpetuated the
system for generation longer, but it has passed.
But what is of more importance is that the
economic training of the masses of men has been
going on steadily, and anyone who will take the
trouble to find out what the thoughtful men of the
working classes are reading will soon find out that
the progressive protest is no longer hyserca out
