IT COULD not fail to be comforting
news for the bondhOlders and stock
holders in American railroads that on
80 per cent of the mileage in the United
States net operating income for April
increased 1862 per cent, or $333 mile.
Those railroads did not increase their
net income by doing more business and
by taking in more money. They did 1T
by spending less. They got along with
less labor, they did less construction
work, they bought less equipment and
other supplies, they rendered in the
present similar service, and they shut
their eyes to provision which ought to
be made for the future. But nobody,
least of all the successful railroad man
ayers who have always had to keep
their vision fixed far into the future,
can believe that the niggardly policy
which has been forced upon them by
inadequate revenues can in the last
analysis be any better for the railroads
themselves than for railroad workers
and for the general public.

See Glorious Colorado En- Route To
California.

Are you going this summer to the Cal
ifornia Exposition? If SO, you should
make the journey by way of Denver
and Colorado Springs and visit the
magnificent mountain sights easily ac-
cessible from these two cities. Your
Colorado sightseeing over, you can
continue on through to the Coast, to
either San Francisco, Los Angeles or
San Diego, or you can stop over and
see the attractions of Salt Lake City,
and if desired, make a side trip to Vel
lowstone National Park. This arrange
ment is made possible for you through
the service of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railway. Two splendid
trains ''The Colorado Special and
1.-The Colorado Express" -are operated
through to Denver over this route, in
connection with the Union Pacific Rail
road.
You can return direct from Califor-
MIA if you desire, but for few dollars
more you can see the beautiful Pacific
North Coast, thence journey east over
the picturesque Trail of the Olym-
pian," through the heart of three vast
mountain chains. This delightful jour-
ney will amply repay the few extra
dollars that it costs.
Apply to the Local Agent of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and St Paul Railway

ton about low fares, time of trains,
and other particulars.

WHAT humilating view the voters
of Wisconsin have had during the pres
ent legislature of the lack of manhood,
and common patriotism of the members
of that body that are known as the La
Toilette obstructionists. They have
fought like dogs over bone to keepup
the old commission system OF state
government that has been robbing the
taxpayers of millions of their hard
earned money. Not man jack among
them but has shown his utter untltness
to be trusted by the people. All they
are after is to maintain the old system
and still further rob the people. Every
man among them from Senators Boss
hard and Skogmo down to the last
whipper-snapper in the gang ought to
be held up to public disapproval for the
rest of their natural lives. -Ft. Atkln-
son Union.

LANCASTER, PA, July %, 191

LANCASTER, A., = uIy 20, 4O4c.
The tobacco growers of Lancaster
county are congratulating themselves
on the condition of the new crop. 1t
could not look finer The weather has
been ideal for developing the young
plants, with plenty of moisture, yet
not too much rain, with bright, warm,
sunshiny days and some warm nights.
Even the usual insect pests are notable
by their absence. Up to the present
time the crop is growing with unusual
evenness. The growers generally agree
that it has been some years since the
tobacco crop has been as we'll started
as this one. The fields that were dam
aged by hail storms had to be replant.
ed. of course, but the area damaged
was a trifie compared to the county,s
full acreage. This crop has been bet
ter fortified and is being more care
fully cultivated than any crop In re-
cent years.
Of the $4,000 acres in tobacco in this
county, about 1000 are in Havana
Seed, which appears to grow best IN
sandy soil. The farmers near the Sus-
ouehanna river, mostly in the vicinity
of Washington Borough, produce the
best results.
The local packers evince more inter
est in the 1915 crop than they did in
the 1914 crop while it was growing: All
have 1913 goods on hand yet, very little
having been sold. However, business
has picked up some in the past few
months. In the past five years there
has not been particle of change in
the prices of Lancaster county pack
ings. They have generally ranged from
Ia to Is cents, only going above the
latter figure when the packing was I'M
usually fine.

1T is reported that the legislature
cost the taxpayers of the state $500 a
day. Had a majority of the members
been inspired by a desire to legislate9
for the people and not for political
faction in the Republican party, it
could and would have adjourned May l,
and thousands of dollars been saved to
the taxpayers-but with the LaFollette-,

Big Circus Coming This Way Soon.

The Barnum and Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth will exhibit at Beloit on
Tuesday, Aug. II, and at Madison on
Aug Is, and this good news is being
heralded everywhere by the many
agents of this, the biggest and fore
most amusement institution In the
world. The Barnum and Bailey Circus
has always been the largest that trav-
els and this season the management
has found it necessary to add many
more cars to their trains in order to
provide for the great equipment. 1t
requires IS double length railroad cars
to transport the big show, 1880 people
are employed, there are 700 horses, 40
elephants and menagerie of ITO cages,
4S0 world famed artists take part in
the greatest circus program the world
has ever known.
A fitting introduction to the wonder
full performance this year is the pre-
sentation of the new, magnificent spec
tacular pageant, 'Lalla Rookh, in
which nearly 1000 characters take part.
In the circus proper, which is pre-
sented in three rings, four stages, the
hippodrome, and in the dome of the
largest tent ever erected, 480 perform
ers from every nation in the world take
part and present vast array of for
eign features entirely new to America.
A wonderful trained animal exhibition
is given by the Marvellous War Ele-
plants. Pallenberg's Wonder Bears,
Madam Bradna's Angel Horses, Tha-
lero's Dogs, Ponies and Monkeys, and
the Barnum and Bailey Statue Horses.
Great interest is already being shown
in this neighborhood and great crowds
will no doubt go to Beloit and Madison
for the biggest and most enjoyable
holiday of the year. Everyone is adj
vised to get an early start in order to
be there in time for the parade which
starts promptly at 10 a. M, and which
is said to eclipse anything of its kind
ever before attempted in the history OF
circus business.

Presence of Mind.

Watching her house burn down, the

it lying on her desk. Fortunately she
could remember the number of it-2S1.

ACCORDING to Robert E. Crow, for
mer states attorney for Illinois and
recently appointed attorney for the po-
lice trial board of Chicago, "So-called
reform organizations do more harm
than good. They create suspicion and
interfere with the cooperation which
should exist between police and pub
lic." In other words, a community
paws taxes to maintain a police force.
This organization does its work effec-
lively and quietly. 1t does not aim to
be spectacular or to play to the grand
stand. Then along comes reformer,
and exposes" something beneath the
nose of the police. He INDUCES in hy-
perbole for the benefit of the news
papers. Conditions are shocking. !"
t'Vice is rampant Morals have gone
to the eternal bow-wows. He parades
his discoveries before the eyes of the
public. He gloats over the naughtiness
he has found. He revels in it, and is
clad that he, at least, is above tempta-
ton, and can unearth cess pool with
out soiling his fingers. 1t is an old
story to the police If vice and crime
did not exist, there would be no use for
the strong arm of the law. But where
the police might have dealt with the
case nationally, the reformer, nine
times out of ten, merely spills the
beans. The work of the police is I'M
done. The expose becomes nine days
wonder, then is forgotten while the re-
former plans another coup. Mean
while, however, confidence in the po-
lice force is lessened. The police, sens
ing this lack of confidence, become in
different and don't care The reformer
has not remedied things in the least.
He has, if anything, made them worse.

a humber crop is decidedly far fetched.

A Curious Lake.

Selawik is a curious lake near the
seacoast of Alaska. Tides rise and fall
in the lake by reason of an under
ground connection with the sea. At
the bottom the water is quite salt, but
at the top there is layer of perfectly
fresh water.
