I once heard Of & S5ung man who fell

himself but he pretended to be 30. in or

her that he would make a congenial mate.
He frantically read up on things musical
and all through the courtship took her to
operas. concerts and oratorios. instead Of
the the theater or dance. It was not
until some time after they were married
that he confessed the truth. whereupon
his bride astonished him by a similar con-
fession. 1t seemed that she was the dis

and that she had only pretended to ap-

Needless to say they promptly dropped

OF THE MOMENT
:. NJ ROY X. NoULTON.
It's Different Now.

It's Different Now.
He stayed out each evening
Until it was late.
It was his ambition
To just celebrate.
Z He had costly dinners,
Played poker a lot,
And didn't care much
Whether school kept or not.
When his wife was away
For the summer.
Now he's working the lawnmower
And sticking round home.
He's very discreet and does
Not care. to roam.
He's mild and he's tame
And he's walking the chalk
And he is not bossy or il.
Gay in his talk.
For his wife Ia at home
For the winter.

FROM OTHER PENS
EXTRACTION OF zELAYA.

Diplomatic bubbles over the extra.
dition of Jose Zelaya on q charge OF
government, may result in his release
from custody on a technicaitty: But
should his apprehension prove to De q
fiascO, the fact that he was In nidln8
at the home Of a Nicaraguan, known
to have relations with the Zelaytsts,
who are still q powerful element in
the affairs of the republic. ought not
to escape close official scrutiny by the
immigration authorities. with a view
to his deportation as an international
outlaw who stole his way into this
country on a mission OF mischief. A
person who has been indicted by his
own government because OF his al
legged connection with the brutal muir
der of two American citizens can have
no claim on our consideration In any
circumstances. That Zelaya came into
the United tSates secretly. and went
into hiding upon being apprised that
he was wanted as a fugitive from JUS
tice, is prima facie evidence OF q con-
seriousness of wrongdoing. His trip
across the Atlantic Is seen to be not
in furtherance Of the object he claims
brought him here. That he conceal
ed his identity as he afterward con-
cealed his whereabouts indicates that
he was actuated by motives which 40
not govern persons legitimately seek
ing asylum in any country for political
reasons Zelaya is under blanket In
dictment morally returned against
him by the United States government
as a warming to all nations to whose
shores his flight from prosecution
might take him.. His life record
stamps him as a man unchangeably
inclined to intrigue. and whether or
not he is turned over to the people ne
tyrannized over with an iron hand:

THE SHIPPERS AND THE RATES.
On December 10 the shippers will
have their opportunity to oppose the
increase in freight rates. But what
effective reply can they make to the
impressive argument Just concluded
in behalf of the railroads? When the
last proposed increase was being con-
sidered by the interstate commerce
commission the shippers based their
objection to 1t largely upon the plea
that with proper economy on the part
of the railroads no increase would be
necessary. The, railroads have per-
force been as Economical in their
MANAGEMENT ever since az they knew
how to be, and yet operating and
increased more rapidly than gross
earnings. The roads have Increased
their facilities and improved their SER
vice. but they earn less. This process
cannot go on. Either railroad earn
ings, that IL to say. their net earn
ings, must increase as the railroads
grow or the growth Of the railroads
win stop. The real interest of the
shippers il not SO much that freight
rates should not advance az that the
railroads should not stop growing. All
the prosperity of the country II based
upon adequate facilities OF Transport
tatfon. without adequate earnings
there cannot be adequate facilities

SCHOOL LAWS.

Inc teachers Of the state in their
meeung at Topeka, passed resolutions
recommending many changes in the
scnool laws. Like the game laws. the
scnooi laws are vents to the hobbies
OF legislators who are entirely ignor-
ant Of the subjects. These subfscts
seem to be the easy tackle and they
are tackled until at the present time
our school system is rated by acknoWl-
edged authority as pretty close TO
nothing. Every year new fads Are
forced into the schools which answer
no purpose but to tickle the ambition
OF some faddist seeking notoriety.

books, than the system and books are
worn out and must be changed because
some boob from the suburban district

tistical idea that without 1t the sys-
tenn would perish from the earth.-Nor-

STATE RAILROADS FOR SALE.

Wanted-A buyer for a state-owned
railroad. Leslie's Weekly says that
Texas, the state of many experiments,
has found it costly business to own
and operate its railroads. The move
ment was started about 20 years ago
by the Populists and has been carried
on, though without great enthusiasm,
by the Democrats. Gov. Colquitt, in
a message to the legislature. advocat-
ing the sale OF the line from Rusk to
Palestine, says that the road has new
er earned enough to pay its expenses
and upkeep. The loss since Jan. 20,
1911, amounts to over $4,000. This
is a pretty big burden to place on the
taxpayers simply for the satisfaction
Of being able to say that the state is
in the railroad business. 1.-THE state
school fund.-" says Gov. Colquitt,
holds 100000 Of the bonds issued
in part payment Of construction. We
have an offer to lease it for Just
enough to pay interest on these bonds,
but the offer is based on the expendi-
ture Of the rental for a number of
years for putting the property in safe
condition for operation" The state
owned system of railroads in South
Texas built as transportation outlets
for the plantations operated by con-
vict labor are also for SALE Alto
gether the experience Of Texas in
railroad ownership has been anything
but successful. 1t might well be held
in mind as a straw in the wind with
which to answer the advocates of
government ownership Of railroads.
