Irence and switch set, turning the
cars into a siding. BY the time the
runaway reached the mill city the
momentum had been lost and the
train was stopped without difficulty.
That the train was travelling at ex-
press speed was testified to by a
person who happened to be at Co
lumbia junction IN reporting the
runaway he declared that the train
consisted Of but one caboose and
one ore car and was firm in his
statement as to the length Of the
runaway section. At first it was be.
lieyed that the remaining twelve cars
had left the track, but the later re.
ports from Millers contradicted this
assertion.
The break in the train occurred
below the "derail" so there was no
opportunity to stop the runaways un-
I'll Millers was reached Fortunately,
no other train occupied the track
or a serious wreck would have oc-
Cured had this been the case.

GREAT PHYSICIAN ATTACKS
THE DANCES OF TODAY

The current number of the Medical
Review of Reviews, edited by DR..
Frederic H. Robinson, discussing the
subject of Physicians and Modern
Dances" asks:
"Is there not a medical argument
against these dances (tango and one
step) which has not been fully appreci-
ated by parents, ministers, reformers,
physicians and chaperones?
Answering the question, the article
says:
Dance neuroses disease of the
nerves. are making their appearance,
and have secured hold ON the dane
ing public
The review characterizes these mod
ern dances as animal by name and
nature" and says:
Viewing modern dancers with their
suggestiveness exaggerated move
ments appeals to sexuality, it would
appear that we have relched the acme
of social riot.
THE combination of the dance with
alcoholic stimulants, and bewitching of
syncopated music. the diaphonous
feminine attire, all are concomitants
tending to accentuate the physical ma
ture of modern dancing.
Let physicians counsel their pa
tients and the public concerning the
demoralizing physical and psychical
effects of the degenerate erotic dan
ces."

The ENLARGED Homestead Law.

The 32O-acre homestead law, or as
It is often called, the enlarged-home-
stead law, has made possible the en-
try of many million acres OF dry land
in the Western States in tracts double
the size allowed under the original
homestead law. Only land which has
been designated" by the Secretary of
entered under the act. More than
200 100000 acres have been thus de-
signated, but petitions and sworn
statements requesting further desig-
nations are constantly being received.
In an interview just given out. Sec
retary Lane calls attention to the fact
that there appears to be considerable
misunderstanding among western
homesteaders as to the procedure ne
cessary in order that enlarged home
stead designations may be made. The
Secretary states that only the simplest
and most direct action by the settler
is required, and that it is wholly un-
necessary or him to incur the charges

formal petitiins that are in fact no
more effective than the homesteaders
own letter would be. On this account
a brief statement of the essential facts
relative to the enlarged homestead
law is timely.
The first cnlarged-homestead act was
approved February 10, 1909, and as
later amended provides that in the
states of Arizona, California, Colorado,
Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico,
North Dakota, Oregon, Utah, Wash
ington and Wyoming any person who
is qualified to make entry under the
homestead laws may enter as much as
800 acres of public land which is in
a reasonably compact body and is nom
mineral, nonirrigable, unreserved, and
unappropriated and does not contain
merchantable timber. Before such en-
try can be made, however, the land
must be designated by the secretary Of
the interior as not being, in his opin-
ion, susceptible to successful irriga-
ton as a reasonable cost from any
known source OF water supply.

public prosperity depends largely upon
for every share they hold, and they
have simply come into our company
because they believed 1t to be safe
investment.
There is, too, upon the part of the
public belief that the company is
largely engaged in politics. We imag-
inc this feeling is caused by the fact
that in the past, simply from the
standpoint of self-preservation, certain
corporations were almost compelled
to be in politics; but in these days,
when the tendency is to place all cor
porations and trust affairs into the
hands of central body, such as the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
local state commissions. etc. to deal
with the conduct of businesses such as
ours, being in politics. as believed by
the public, would be a foolish thing
and entirely unnecessary. This Is.
therefore, to state emphatically that
we are not, either directly or indirect
ly. In politics. in any way. shape or
manner, and shall not be.
We are going to attempt to give
you the entire story as 20 our rates.
We have been told. when stcting to
some of the public that we proposed
starting q campaign like this. that our
efforts would be futile; that our sub
scribers would turn out to be selfish
and only look toward the end of get
ting as cheap telephone rates as pos
sible. We do not believe this. We
believe that the great majority of the
public are inclined to be fair and that
| II is not so much the question Of what
our telephone rates are as 1t Is that
when we make statement regard
| ing them, and show our true financing,
that we shall be horest, and that the
public shall know thct we are honest.
| That when we make statement as
to our profits and earnings, showing
just where the dollar that our sub
scriber pays us goes. the public may
know that we are not trying to de-
ceive them or keep anything back that
should be shown. When we honestly
do this and our position seems to be
just and right. we believe that the fair
ness Of the public will sustain us.
We are going to set forth the in
herent difficulties OF giving universal
telephone service. These articles and
letters are not to be a piece Of spe-
but a clear, business-like setting forth
OF facts. We hope. before we get
through, both ourselves and the public
will understand each other better.
There is at least no harm to be done
in trying to accomplish this desired
result
1t is our aim to educate. please and
satisfy the public and to be educated
ourselves. It seems to us that every
corporation has the right OF self
defense. the same as an individual.
The public has the same right. Listen
to our defense and we will listen to
yours. No problem has ever been
harder for us than Just how we were
going to let the public know truly
about us, but we believe that no prob
lem was ever more important to both.
II we really can make you feel that
you are partner in our business, we
shall have accomplished much. A
large part OF the problem will be
solved II we can only bring the pub
lie, through education. to a full under
standing that there is mutual de-
pendence between the public service
! corporations and the public, and that
