Government railroad regulation has
it's complications outside the intrica-
cies Of the immediate affairs of the
several companies. There are numer-
Gus collateral interests which must be
considered by the interstate com
merce commission in order that even
and exact justice may be done.
There is a host OF producing con-
Germs. like the packing houses of Chi
cago which have freight lines Of their
own and are known as private car
riers These concerns own thousands
of cars and in addition to transport
ing their own products are organized
to carry certain lines of freight.
Nearly all these private car lines
have their headquarters in Chicago
and during the coming month the
interstate commerce commission will
conduct an investigation in that city.
The principal private lines and the
cars owned by them are Armour 49,
600, Swift 5000, Cudahy 1900, Nor
ris $500, Streets stable line 1000,
Arms horse car line 500, Dairy Ship
pers' Dispatch 500, Mather Horse and
stock company 10000, Jamison Coal
and Coke company 1900, Union Tank
line $4,000, German-American tank
line 1000 and Texas tank line LOO.
These figures give an idea Of the
enormous amount of shipments made
in cars which have trackage rights on
the railroads and of its influence on
-1,f &c in raurTIar
and the rates thereon. The investi-
cation will be conducted with a view
to ascertaining how regulation may be
applied with the most beneficial re-
suits

A OoNTNION GROUND-

The most conspicuous example of
the Christmas spirit was furnished by
the people Of Calumet. Mich. As in
the original instance il emanated from
sacrifice. A great calamity wiped out
the bitterness engendered by the long
strike in the mines which had arrayed
the citizens of the town against the
strikers and resulted in bloodshel and
destruction of property.
Then came the tragedy Of Italian
hall, where in a few minutes the life
was crushed out OF seventy-two men.
women and children. mostly children.
/, In an instant the warning factions
were reunjsed by sorrow. which
while it rested most heavily and per-
sonally on the one it drove from the
hearts OF the other all feelings of
bitterness and resentment.
The business men and other citizens
! OF Calumet and the members of their
families forgot all they had suffered
on account OF the strike and remem-
bered only that these stricken people
we're their fellow beings and that they
were IN BfleNouS trouble. W mere De-
fore was enmity and hate there was
human kindness and sympathy where
before was bitter strife there was the
peace OF a common sorrow.
That "a touch of nature makes the
whole world kin" was never better
exemplified. Through the accident
OF circumstance 4 wonderful revela-
ton OF feeling was created by the
spectacle Of seventy human bodies
piled deep at the foot of narrow
stairway the bodies of neighbors and
their children. and the thought OF
what II meant TO more than "a hun
dred houses in that small comuun-
fly unsealed the fountains of human
sympathy and the waters therefrorl
swept away ali memories OF strife
The people OF Calumet will take
care OF their own. The sorrow be-
longs 10 a part OF them. but they VIII
all share it, and the open heart aud
the open purse will unite in healing

Now here Is an announcement which
warns the very cookies Of our heart
IL is so finely in tune with the spirit
Of the holidays.
In Philadelphia lives Theodore
Presser. He used 20 be a music
teacher. Then he became a publisher
Of music. lie prospered He is rich.
But his business brought keenly to his
attention the fact that many teachers
OF music. souls who do a lot OF good
often for very little pay. aren't his
equals for business ability. They put
their life into their work forgetting
or not having the chance 10 save
money; old age creeps on them. and
then. what?
Can you imagine more pitiful
sight than that OF a sensitive musician
in advanced years, without income or
resources?
Presser saw many such and they set
him 20 thinking.
II wasn't an easy problem, either.
To some unfortunates you can offer
charity confidently your
motive. they'll take what you give and
ask no questions. Not so with hon
orable musicians. To them charity is
like a blow.
Presser things he has found a way
tround this difficulty. and it looks as
II he had.
He Is building a beautiful home in
delightful part Of Germantown. on
the FIRST floor is to be a great music
room in white, and library, stocked
with writings by or about the masters.
Above will be cosy bedrooms, with all
the conveniences. The home is to ac-
commodate 10.
An applicant to this home must be
at least 65 years old, shall have fol-
lowed the profession OF teacher Of
music in the United States for %
years as a sole means of livelihood
and at the time OF applying for ad-
mission must be incapacitated for
active teaching. An admission fee of
$500 will - charged, and that will
cover the cost during the remainder
Of the successful applicants life
Should an inmate later wish to leave.
there will be a refund minus q charge
OF S. a week for the time spent in the
home.
This. Presser is careful state is not
10 be charity at all, but simply a
friendly recognition OF faithful SER
vices in behalf OF muslin by one who
has shared generously in the profits
OF music on its business side. In other
words, profit sharing in the spirit Of
brotherhood
1t impresses us as being a proper
and worthy move. How does it strike

Of fraternalism are conspicuous in
such cities as South Bend, where most
OF the men and many women and

stores. II has a strong hold here.
The membership in the various orders
runs into the thousands, and the
members take as much pride in their
lodge and extract as much enjoyment
from 1t as the clubman can from the

influence in the elevation Of ideals and
in widening the scope OF life for

There are two successful ways Of
