RAILWAY BUILDING.

= From personal letter from distant
friend we extract the following; II see
by the Pioneer Express that there is
some activity in railroad building in
North Dakota and Minnesota. I pre-.
sumo that this is all in connection with
the Canadian railroads, which naturally
are building in view Of the great increase
of population in the northwest. As for
other railroad building in the United
States believe there is practically none,
though the country needs good deal.
Under present conditions this is not to
be wondered at, for there is no induce
ment whatever for anybody to put money
into railroads. The public practic-
ally says to the capitalist ''Mr. Capital
list. We want you to use your money to
build railroad for US. II it is failure
and you lose all your money, you must
grin and bear it. II it succeeds you may
perhaps get dividends in ten years or SO,
but you must not expect any higher re-
turn in any event, than you get from a
savings bank, otherwise you are
an octopus, pirate, malefactor and what
not. Ifyour property increases in value
you must not capitalize that in
crease. You must never increase your
rates under any circumstances, but you
must give every latest improvement and
always increase the wages of your en-
ployes whenever threaten a strike. We
shall hold you to strict and sole account
ability for the proper management Of
your railroad, but you must let the labor
unions have their own way in the rum
ming OF it. Now hurry up and build the
railroad"
The above is Of course only one side
Of the story but we agree with our friend
that it must appear very much that way
to men who are asked to invest in new
roads. It is fact that the legislative
and interstate commission rates are
based on net income which approxim-
stes the usual interest given by savings
institutions whore there is practically
no 5isk; Why, indeed should man put

THEY ARE LUNATIcS.

They are having considerable of a
time in England to know what to do
with the female people who 60 by the
name of suffragettes. These folks go
round burning buildings, smashing win
dows, throwing bombs and similar Grim
inal acts. As these people are not hab.
itual criminals and nave no real motives
for such acts, it is apparent that they
should not be put in Jail as such GRIMM
ais. That is not the place for them.
When persons do wrongful acts of this
character without apparent or reason
able motive, prima facie they are crazy
and the proper place for them is the
asylum. In the case of the English suf-
ragetts such confinement and treatment
as they would receive there, would prob
ably solve the starvation business that
these lunatics affect when placed in
prison confinement, When treated as
criminals they pose as martyrs, but il
treated as lunatics they would have no
possible excuse or complaint to make.
The public would recognize the fitness
of things, and the notoriety and popular
sentiment which these poor foolish lun-
atics seek would utterly fail.
When the authorities punish an insane
person, they are and should be condemn
ed. When they place insane people in
asylums where they are protected from
harm to themselves or others the auth
orites are to be given credit for humane
act.
The insane asylum treatment would
eliminate the ''herolcs" from the suffra.
gette criminalities and when that is out
there will be no more "militant'' suffra-
gettes.

The 30th of May, Memorial Day,
occurs on Friday this year. Every town.
every school, every cemetery associa-
tion. every civic league, every COM
mercial club, can and ought to find that
day suitable for special observance.
Memorial Day is not only for the dead
veterans Of the Civil war. They sleep
in peace. Memorial Day means nothing
to them. Memorial Day is for the living.
Any act that makes q. better country,
makes better town, makes . better
citizen is fitting on that holiday. Patri.
otism Or love Of country may be shown
in many ways beside shouldering q
musket. It is something to live for ones
country as we'll as to die for it.

"WiTHIN THE LAW

within the Law" Bayard veiller's
new play of absorbing heart interest
in which the American Play Company
will present Margaret Ellington, as
the attraction at the Grand, Saturday,
Nov. Is, is an exciting drama of con-
temporaneous American life in a met
ropolis, replete with thrills and sur.
prises. The heroine, Mary Turner.
develops from a mild. shrinking girl
into a woman of extraordinary in
genuity and daring, living by her wits
and evading the law, and using the
law to protect herself. She has been
wrongfully convicted of a crime and
sent to prison, and upon her release
is prosecuted and harassed until, in
desperation, she turns upon her pursu-
ers, representing the law She matches
her wits and courage against the bru
tally of the police and preys upon
society with amazing success, remain
ing, however, always within the law"
by using it's technicalities and in.
equalities as safeguard against Of
fetal punishment. Her triumph. while
not complete, suggests strongly the
evasive methods said to be employed
by INSCRIPTIONS financiers to escape
responsibility for their illegitimate
operations under the guise of so.called
big business"

They do not seem to care what they
