WHAT'S THE ANSWER?

The New York school board has decided by over.
whelming vote against the woman teacher VINO ask.
ed years leave of absence in order that she might
bear and care for child.
Now, there are some curious quirks in the logic
of folks who object TO women doing things in this
world. It's easy enough to understand how stupid
police head might think ne could discourage the
women from wanting to vote, by giving them a
taste of experience taking of themselves with
out any police aid.
But really, the New York school board can't ex-
pect that the women to be dissuaded from being
mothers hereafter, and turning that function, like
voting, exclusively to the men. 1t seems hard
to explain.

dicton of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
This includes telegraphs, telephones, and express
establishments More than this, it will probably be
held that many street railways-those doing inter-
state business-are also included This is the present
impression of officials of the commission
The new era in regulation of public service cor
poratons is fairly ushered in with this direction to
make tine appraisal Hereafter there will be regula-
ton based on intelligent grasp of facts. Heretofore
there has not been. The commission has repeatedly
pointed out the anomaly of its situation, trying to do
things of which it had no knowledge. But all this is
changing States and cities are moving toward ac'
curate appraisal of their public service facilities, and
now the nation steps in to do the greatest service Of
all, in this direction 1t will require years of time
and millions of money, but it will be worth all il
costs $780,. .

THE CUP AND THE CLUB.

We have always had the notion that the purpose
of the Americas Cup donor, in giving it to the New
York Yacht Club, was to promote the noble sport
of sportsmanlike yachting .-.
Apparently the New York Yacht Club doesn't
feel that way Its understanding, seemingly, is that
the all-important thing is to keep the cup on this
side the ocean, 1t has earned repute for unsports-
manly attitudes and unfair mpositions so often that
it is wonder any self-respecting Enghshman will
longer challenge for the cup at all.

APPRAISING THE PUBLIC SERVICE
FACILITIES.

In its implications of policy for the future it is
not unlikely that the most important legislation of
the recent Congress session is that directing valu-
alton of the railroads. 4
The passage of this measure was a striking index
of the progress public opinion on this subject has
made in recent years. So recently as the summer of
1906, when the Dolver-Hepburn railroad measure
passed. the valuation provision was urged, and re-
jected by overwhelming majorites. True, it was
just illogical then as If is to attempt to regu-
late the vast properties without knowing what they
are; but nobody cared for the logic of the thing
Then, the railroads feared that valuation would
somehow be made an instrument for their further
oppression. Today, they look upon as altogether
likely TO them materially in their finances.
Government appraisal that will bear out their claims
as to the physical property they possess, will be
certificate of character whose weight in the financial
markets is unlikely to be overestimated.
1t turns out that the legislation as passed and as
1t is now the law, is of remarkable character. 1t
will make possible most detailed and useful valua-
ton, we'll as history of the development of the
railroads. For example, the valuation must list all
the properties of road-cars locomotives, bridges,
tes rails, culverts lanterns right of way switching
yards, ETC. Further, it must tell what every piece of
property COST what it would cost to replace now, and
how much it has deprecated since it was bought
In the case of property given to the railroad, this
must be listed in detail. In the good old days "ou

ing Then they would get towns, counties, and town.
ships to vote taxes to push the thing along By the
time they had a comfortable beginning on railroad
they would be able to sell some bonds at discount
and put tine stock in their pockets or divide if
with the bondholders. The valuation now to be made
must include a complete history of all these oper-
ations Every corporation antecedent or subsidiary
to the one now in control of property must have
its history set down. Every reorganization must be
described
All this is task of such immensely that it is diff
cult to grasp 1t is very important that it shall be

Dodson's LiverTone and
Save DAVIS Work

If an attack of constipation or bill
iousness hits you, there's no need to
take a dose of calomel and spend at
least a day getting over the effects of
it. Clifton's Pharmacy sells the liver
tonic, Dodson's Liver Tone, that takes
the place of calomel and starts a lazy
liver without any bad after-effects.
Dodson's Liver Tone does all the
good that calomel ever did, yet it is
absolutely harmless to young people
and old. 1t is a pleasant-tasting vege-
table liquid that will relieve constipa-
ton or sour stomach or other troubles
that go along with a lazy liver. without
restriction of habit or diet. You don't
leave off any of the things you regu-
larly do when you take Dodson's Liver
Tone.
Clifton's Pharmacy sell Dodson's
LIVER Tone and give it a strong per-
sonal guarantee. They say: "A large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone sells
for SO cents, and we will hand any
person back his so cents if he tries a
bottle and doesn't say that it does all
that calomel ever does and does it
pleasantly. Get the genuine Dodson's
Liver Tone and if you are not pleased
with it we will give your money back
