quently spoke from the platform

And then the long and bitter
years of penitentiary life and the
heavy drinking he had done be-
gan to tell on him. His health
broke down. He lost first one job
and then another.
Winter came on. For the first
time since Dram was released
from the pen, his family knew
privation and suffering. There
were times when there was not
enough food in the house. And
the children were not properly
clad for the cold weather.
Dram still held to his religion.
He still visited the missions. He
still tried to save and make men
of other human wrecks.
He got a great deal of thanks
for this work in the missions.
Many OF the mission workers
from uptown made a great deal
of fuss over him. They pointed
him out as if to say:
See what our efforts have
done! Once that man was
crook. Now he has reformed
and believes in the church and is
giving his time and his efforts to
save others. It is all our work"
But the thanks and the fuss
was all they gave Dram. They
did not pay him for what he was
doing toward saving others. And
thanks and fuss do not put
clothes on children's backs nor
food in their mouths.

State Owned Railroads.

Interesting information regarding
State owned railways is given in an
official report, published by the Brit
ish Board of Trade.
Canada in 1911 had 26,27S miles of
privately owned and operated lines,
against 2,oIS miles State owned and
operated, and Io2 miles owned by the
State, but operated privately. Aus
tralia had I6o7o miles State owned
and 5000 miles OF others; South
Africa, 7.54S miles State owned and
545 not State property; New Zealand,
2,5oS miles State owned and 20 others,
and New Foundland, 723 miles State
owned, but privately operated, and AZ
owned by individuals. India has
32,S3o miles of railways, of which
6,S74 were State owned and operated,
IS,245 miles State owned, but privately
operated; 1902 owned and operated
by native States, and 1893 owned by
native States. but worked by COM
panies. In seventeen other British
colonies and protectorates there were
3.525 miles of railways, all privately
owned.
Forty-two foreign States are COW
cred by the report. In thirty-two of
these the railways are owned, either
wholly or in part by the governments.
The United States is not covered by
the report but it Is stated that our
country has 10000 miles of railway
in operation, all privately owned and
operated.
The returns show total of Iz4.-
OH miles OF lines. owned and operated
by governments. and 424232 miles
owned and operated by corporations.
A most remarkable thing in connec-
ton with this report is that the State
owned roads show a greater profit,
on an average, than those operated by
private enterprise

THE POLICEMAN
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author of "At Good Old SIwash.'

A policeman is a large, peaceful
man with tired feet. who spends his
life hunting trouble. Policemen draw
from SOS to 500 a month. but can ride
free on the street cars. good police
man cannot save much money. espe-
cialIy if the campaign expenses of the
Mayor are heavy. But a poor police
man who takes his conscience out in
the back yard and kills il carefully
with a club before going to work can
often retire in a few years with sew
eral hundred thousand dollars.
Policemen were invented to guard
society against itself. The policeman's
duty is to suppress riots. disorders,
crime, and joy riding. He is also sup
posed to give chase to the fleeing hold
up man and run him gasplng to earth.

Navy Leagues Arguments.

In his recent address at Denver
Rear Admiral Sebree quoted John
Fiske. who wrote in hi, Manifest
Destiny" as follows:
Obviously the permanent peace of
the world can be secured only through
the gradual concentration of the pre-
! ponderant military strength into the
hands OF the most pacific COM
munities.
This hits the nail on the head. as
far a. the situation is concerned,
which confronts the United States to-
day where the maintenance of peace
means prosperity and strength and
industrial growth
In conjunction Herewith the Navy
League has sent out a circular giving
numerous reasons why this country
should maintain a strong navy. One
Of The leading arguments is this:
We have 1900 miles OF coast line
to defend and that. although our navy
has more large cities and strategic
points to care for than the navy of
any other power. vet We had build
ing on April l OF thi, year only FIVE
hig-gun hips as compared with nine
in Germany, and thirteen in England.
Rear Admiral Sebree points out
that within a hundred, years we have
been forced to land marines on for
eign shores more than a hundred
times, but that in a majority OF these
cases the people OF the United States
never have heard even of these expe-
ditions to protect conSulates. lives OF
our citizens. or their property.
The recent launching OF the power

inch guns. should serve as an in
,piration. Although the cost of our
navy during the current fiscal year is
something like SI4ooooyooo, this vast
sum may be considered as a cheap
outlay in comparison with the enor-
nous cost OF a possible war

From Golfers Weekly.
The year after coming to Nebraska. in

in each one made it clear why he should

majority.

At last my turn was reached. The Gov

on the program is W. J. Bryan" and as
came forward he stepped toward me-

greatly pleased that he did not harbor
any resentment against me. and graspe6

Manners In Public Places.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Occasionally one who is habitually con-
siderate OF others at home or in the
house of friends is forgetful in public,
and gives a free exhibition of deplorable
unmannerliness that would shock even
a militant English suffragist.
A woman at a bargain sale In de-
partment store is seen to snatch what
she covets from the grasp of others. At
a library or a theater or a railway ticket
window, instead of Difference and con-
sideration. certain resolute souls will
push their way to the front with the air
of conquering heroes, and unless a pO-
liceman is present the notion of place
in line is disregarded. Some persons even
are known to be so depraved as to plum
der public flower beds, or to leave litter
strewn after picnic upon lawns and
in giades that once were beautiful to look
upon.
If we have a true conception of our
duty to our neighbors, II we have been
schooled TO any conception of thought
fulness for others. the place to prove it
is where other people are most numer-
