Ebenezer Rule had meant to go to

had there small and decent steam
warmed fat, where he boiled his own
eggs and made his own coffee, read
his newspapers and kept his counsel,
descending nightly to the ground floor
cafe to dine on ambiguous dishes at
tables Of other bank swallows who
nested in the same cliff. But as the
days went by he found himself staying
on in Old Trail Town, with this. excuse
and that, offered by himself to him
self. As, for example, that in the fac
tory there were old account books that
he must go through. And having put

The Conquest Of Peace.

Milton sang that Peace hath
her victories no less renowned
than war;" The poet was right.
While nations of the old world
have for years been arming to
the teeth to conquer each other,
the United States has been
steadily and successfully con-
quering nature that two oceans
separated by a narrow isthmus
might be made one, and the COM
merce of the world pass through
the canal without let or hind
rance.
That task is now practically
accomplished. While nations
are flying at each others throats
in the mad lust to conquer, the
isthmus of Panama admits that
it has been conquered by the
peaceful methods employed by
this country, and 1T rs con-
quest, unlike those that follow
war, fraught with nothing but
blessing for all mankind.
The quiet and successful pas
sage of the canal the other day
by large ship belonging to this
country marked the beginning of
a new era in the commercial
history of this land. and also in
that of the world generally, and
that era will be distinguished by
constant progress and prosperity
that will result in bringing the
nations of the world into closer
touch with each other.
OF course the building of the
canal has cost millions upon
millions of money but it has all
been spent for the welfare of
the world. Far otherwise is il
with the countless millions spent
to arm nations, and place them
against each other in battle
array.

The Harvester trust is to be
dissolved. Such a decision by
the Supreme Court a few years
ago would have kindled a con-
fidence that free competition
would naturally follow, and that
all the evils Of restrained trade
would disappear like a morning
mist. But the public he's learned
by sorrowful experience that
dissolutions do not necessarily
dissolve. The Standard Oil,
Tobacco and other trusts. against
which the Supreme Court de-
cided, continued to flourish. and
even to pay larger dividends
than before. All of which goes
to show that the machinery of
the law is very imperfect.
Doubtless the time will come
when a decree of dissolution will
actually mean something.

The Torrens system.

Before the State or national
government can do anything
effective in the line of rural
credits for the landowners a
better system of registering land
titles must be devised, says a
writer in an exchange. What
will it profit us if a somewhat
lower interest rate is obtained.
or if money for land lcansl is
made more easily available if
we then find that titles are too
doubtful to be accepted as
collateral, or if the prohibitive
cost of examining a title every
time a loan is wanted. keeps the
farmer from using the rural
credit system so laboriously
wrought out for his benefit?
With the passage of a law
making government finds avail
able for farm loans. it becomes
a question of 'deviel Importance
to all interest in the State.
financial as well as agricultural
that no time should be lost in
securing its passage.
The chief advantages of the
Torrens system are that it makes
for economy and stab lity of
title. When land is once regis
tered under this system. the
title is settled once and for all
time. the State being behind it
as guarantor, and the cost of
subsequent transfer is minimiZed
while the special proceedings
necessary to secure such regis
tration are simple and no more
expensive than those attaching
to each and every conveyance
under the methods now obtain

Where the Remedy Lies.

The railroads, or many of them,
are disappointed because the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion did not make fiat reduction
of freight rates applicable to all
the roads. The papers cor
trolled by the roads are also
lamenting what they consider
the unfair decision of the Com
mission.
That is to be expected for that
is their mission, but they may
just as well make up their minds
that the Interstate Commerce
Commission was not formed to
play into the hands of the roads,
nor to act unjustly towards them,
but to conserve the interests of
the public without preventing
the roads reaping a fair profit.
1t may therefore be taken for
granted that the Commission,
made up as it is of experts,
reached a just conclusion after
weighing all the evidence.
If the roads feel that they are
not making a profit they can
easily remedy that by cutting
out passes. Good authorities
say that the giving of passes to
legislators, judges. and a host of
other individuals who are sup
posed to have influence costs the
roads $40. 100000 every year.
That amount would materially
help to create dividends for
stockholders. Apart from that
there is also the further fact to
be considered that passes are a
species of bribery and graft for
which the public has to pay in
more ways than one.

BUCKHANNoN, Dec. 2l.-The new
athletic association for the larger
colleges of the state as now proposed
and which has been the subject of
much newspaper comment during the
last ten days meets with, the hearty
approval of the Wesleyan. authorities.
This was made known today when
one, who is In touch with all the
movements in athletic circles here
said that although Wesleyan had been
opposed to the old association and
had been practically the only school
of Importance in the state that did
mot belong, she had taken a posi-
tion that could not be justly criticized
and that SO far as he knew Wesleyan
had received no unfayorable criticism
on account of not joining the recently
dissolved organization.
The same authority stated that
Wesleyan had been active for a NUM-
her of years in favor of an associa.
tion that would better conditions in
the state, but had never favored one
that would simply complicate them,
and in view OF the fact that he
thought the new association was go
ing to be one that would tend to ele-
yate the standard OF competition, as
we'll as the standards of the various
teams, Wesleyan was strongly in fay-
