In every schoolhouse in Prince Ed

a creed for the American country boy
and dedicated to the Boys Corn Club
Of Virginia has been posted. It reads:
Il believe that the country which
God made is more beautiful than the
city which man made; that life out OF

the natural life OF man. l believe that

l believe that the dignity Of labor de,

boy on the farm as often as to a boy
in the city, that life is larger aud Ireer

bottom land TO use as seed on upland.

5. Don't put too much faith in

Public Service Commission.

The Public Service Commission Of
Missouri has just made its first annual
report TO the governor, covering eight
and half months operation. Much Of
this time has been spent in organic
ing for practical work, although the
commission has performed the duties
formerly belonging TO the State Rail
way Commissioners and undertaken
some Of the additional functions en-
trusted to it by the act creating it.
The jurisdiction of the commission is
sweeping. 1t is given general super
vision Of all steam railroads, streets
and interurban railways, express com
panies, steamboat companies, operat
ing on Missouri streams, gas, water,
heating and electric companies in towns
and cities, telegraphy and telephone
companies, sleeping car companies,
and, in fact, everything classed under
the general title, public utilities"
Service charges, safety and financial
conduct Of these utilities come under
the supervision of the commission.
The commission has divided its
work into eight departments as fol-
lows: General Office, legal, rate, en-
gineering satisfies and accounts; gas,
electric, heat aud water; telephone
and telegraph stocks and bonds. It
has been necessary TO procure the
services Of experts on many Of these
subjects. The commission has also
been confronted with the necessity
OF ascertaining the various laws regu-
lating the matter, under its jurisdic
ton. The report says that many Of
the statutes were enacted piecemeal,
with many inconsistencies and incon
gravities resulting. When the Forty
eight General Assembly meets it will
be asked to completely revise the laws
regulating common carriers, so as to
remove these conflicts. The commits
ion is investigating the laws Of other
states and the rules Of other commits
ions, in the light Of actual experience
and will report recommendations Of
specific legislation before the next
session Of the General Assembly. 1t
is following an adoption Of the New
York and Wisconsin plans at presen!
The annual report while discussing
the ample power given the commission
under the Law, does not overlook its
grave responsibilities. The spirit Of
the report is one OF fairness both to-
ward the public andtoward the public
service corporations. The commits
sioners evidently realize that their
greatest difficulty will be to determine
the facts in specific cases. The diff

Air Line Road To st. Louis From #.
Smith.
Stone county Missouri

Fort Smith ARK, he airline rail-
way from St. Louis to this city, which
mas been the dream Of the railway pro-
molers for the last quarter Of 4 century
has come to life again and a new efou
is being made to bring the road into
the realms Of reality.
This line will about equally divide
the section that is bounded by the
Iron Mountain on the east and south
and the Frisco on the north and west
and will short n the distance from this
city about 100 miles according to
some OF the surveys that have been
made. Hall a dozen companies have
been organized to build the read and
some OF them have been able 10 carry
the preliminarieS far enough to have
the surveys made. Such road will
open the most valuable mineral sec
tion Of Arkansas and also the greatest
hardwood section OF the state that is
undeveloped.
The information that the effort to
secure the building Of the line had
been renewed was received by the
Business Mems club in a letter from
one of the promoters, who asked for
all the advertising matter that had
been issued by the city, in order that
complete data Of the city could be
compiled for the prospectus Of the rail
way. The plan Of the present com
pany is to build the road through north
Arkansas from St. Louis, via Clarks
vile, to this city and on TO Sweet
water, Texas. There is some very
heavy work in getting through the
Ozark mountains aud the surveys that
have been made have not defniately
settled the best route to be followed
but several Of the prelminaries have
followed a water line and come out Of
the mountains in the vicinity Of Clarks
vile. Another strong reason for the
road being projected that way is the
large amount OF mineral in north
Arkansas and the necessity or getting
to fuel for its reduction. The Johnson
county coal fields are the nearest to
the mineral fields and as some Of the
promoters are interested in the coal
fields Of that section, it is but natural
that they should make an effort to pro-
mote the road in such manner that
| it will be Of the greatest value 10 them

They were cultivated twice with double

FTanking Privilege Abuse.

Whatever the merits OF the contro'
versy between the Post Office Depart
ment and a member Of Congress as to
whether a particular speech he sent
out under his frank was technically
a public document, it is an interesting
fact that he sent enough copies Of the
speech to require payment Of $4,000
postage if it had not been privileged.
II the speech had never been printed
in the Congressional Record, that fact
was mere oversight. A member can
easily get permission to extend his
remarks in the Record" by making
the request. All kinds Of books,
speeches documents reports and mis-
cellaneous literature have been read
into the Record for the sole purpose
OF permitting them to be ranked
throughout the country. Divers in
vestigations have shown 10 what extent
senators and representatives have lent
their ranking privileges 10 the circul-
alton Of literature by organizations.
Tons OF such matter is carried free by
the government every month.
Only rough estimates Of the expense
OF this have been made. Attempts to
check the abuse have failed. The
franking privilege has been esteemed
one Of the chief perquisites Of a mem
Der OF Congress. The defense Of the
practice mas been on the high ground
Of enlightening the public. But the
character Of the matter usually sent
out warrants the conclusion that the
average congressman's chief purpose
is his own political advantage. The
law provides a penalty for misuse Of
the frank, butts seldom imposed on
members Of Congress. There have
been cases where vast quantities ol
ranked mail, containing pamphlets
composed Of speeches made by mem.
bers outside the halls Of Congress have
been mailed at Philadelphia. Whether
this was to eyade examination By the
more vigilant Washington authorities
is a matter Of speculation.
The proposal that each member Of
Congress be allowed a specified sun
for postage has been frequently made
but it has met with but little favor
The reason why the members opposed
il is not difficult 10 surmise. Tha
some limit should be placed on thl
amount OF ranked mail sent out b.
