some years ago an ardent disclDI r, William J. Bryan, died In Con- r.cucut. He let a modest estate and requeathed a sum of money to r.. idol. In addition ta left a sealed ..ve,cTc containing directions to ,av a handsome amount to MT. Bry ar The widow and her advisors did pct recognize this documnet as ar essential part of the testaror's will and tae needs of the widow wore such that she did not feel tha she could spare the money. Yet Bryan went into the courts, fought f..t widow and g.jed to wrest from Tor tre money which she needed and which he could claim in only 2 shafowy fashion. The courts -n-ned hfrl away eupty-harded.

By reason. of his poHti- cal position and through. the aid Of George Harvey, then at the Iead cl the Harper publishing es tablishueut, Dr. Wilson's books took on au increased sale and his royalties were largely augmented. Ne. he sought to persRade the trustees Of the Carnegie Teachers Pension Fund to make him a grant though his years in the protes- serial chair did not eutitle him to receive it, though the manner of his leaving the teaching profession did ICt warrant his claim, and though his financial circumstances were net such as to bring him within the purview of the Carnegie 5cuevoleuce. The trustees turned Jim down.

AMERICAN RAIL WAY PROBLEMS
BY HILBERT B. FILLER.

(This is the first of series of three
articles by Hubert b. Fuller on the
trans portation problems OF the United
States Mr.. Fuller is an authority on
matters pertaining TO the railroads.
He is the author of "The Act to Regu-
late Commerce" Accident and EN-
ployers' Liability Insurance." and sew
eral historical works.-The Editor.
The complete dependence of this
country upon its transportation facili-
ties commands public interest in the
problems which today confront the
railroads of the United States. For a
generation our railroads have been the
object of popular prejudice. This has
been the result partly of the manipu-
latiOn of railroads by stock specula-
tors, partly of the hostility generally
felt toward public service corporations
and partly of the agitation Of certain
types of politicians who have sought to
capitalize all forms of social unrest
AS a result of this situation we have
seen the enactment of a vast volume
of ill-considered, unscientifc and even
penal railroad legislation. The rail-
roads are subject to the varying con-
troll of 40 different agencies-the ma
tionaI government and each of the As
different states-all having their own
standards of control. The Implications,
the waste and the extravaganza caused
by the laws Of these muItiform poll
cies annually cost the railroad COM
panieS of the country millions of dol
lars. In an effort to obey the laws of
one state the railroads are forced to
violate the statutes of an adjoining
state.
An illustration Of this situation is
found in the Arkansas law which com
pels railroads to place screens in all
car windows in order to protect pas
sengers from the malarial mosquito.
In the adjoining state OF Oklahoma
window screens are forbidden by law
Three states make it illegal for any
railroad company having repair shops
in the state to send any of their equip
ment into other states for repairs;
20 states have enacted hOurs-Of-ser-
vice laws varying from 10 to 6 hours;
20 states have enacted full-crew laws;
% states have conflicting headlight
laws; IA states have enacted different
types OF safety-appliance acts. Many
states have by legislation attempted to
secure preferred treatment for their
intra-state traffic.
The greatest burdens of the Amer
lean railroads today arise from the
unjust obligations imposed upon them
by special legislation dealing with ev
cry conceivable subject. For instance,
in the year 1915, in the various state
legislatures then in session, 1907 bills
were introduced for the purpose of
regulating railroads. OF these 1877 be-
came laws. In 1913. 230 railroad laws
were enacted in the United States.
These laws were not the offspring of
necessity or even of study. Most of
them were simply the result of preju
dice and antipathy. A great amount
of this legislation is inspired not by
the dictates of public convenience but
apparently for the purpose of COM

LOWER CALIFORNIA

Lower California, about which there
since the relations between the United
States and Mexico reached a crisis, is
the subject of a war geography bull
letin issued by the National Geo.
graphic society from Washington.
Lower California, once a land of fable,
romance and thrilling adventure, is
one of the most sparsely settled reg
ions of the Mexican republic. 1t has
an area corresponding in size to that
of the Atlantic coast peninsula of Flor
ida, but with nearly seven hundred
miles more coast line, owing to its ex-
IRENE length of 100 miles. Florida has
more than fourteen times as many
people Varying in width from 80 to
$50 miles, Lower California is a rug
ged, barren strip of land with noun
famous backbone largely of volcanic
origin. For nearly two hundred years
after it's discovery by the Spaniards it
was thought to be an island.
The southern portion of the PENN
sula has some rain, but the northern
section is dry and arid, producing
cereals, tobacco, grapes, cassava and
sugar cane only after being thoroughly
irrigated. The mineral resources are
valuable and varied. Gold, silver, lead,
copper, salt, gypsum, turQuOises, opalS
and garnets are proftably mined. The
silver mines of La Paz were worked
by the Jesuits as early as 100, three
years after the famous padre, Saliva
terra, established the first permanent
Spanish settlement in the land
Lower California owes it's early ex-
ploration at the hands of CorteZ's lieu
tenants to the fact that the region was
supposed to be the home of a won
derful race Of sirens and amazons
whose majestic cites were paved with
gold. In writing to his sovereign in
1924 the cOnquerer of Mexico said:
They tell me that Ciguatan is an is
land inhabited by women without any

WHEN THE BABY HAS collie.

Sudden violent crying, accompanied
by drawing up of the legs and diBten-
sion of the abdomen. is fairly good
evidence that the baby has pain in the
abdomen, most often due to collie. But
in most instances when our irrepress-
ible friends, the "Old women" accuse
the baby Of having collie, he has moth
ing of the kind. There are lots Of
other things which may make the baby
cry and squirm and stiffen out and ex-
cite the whole household. Temper will
do so, in babies more than 4 months
old; earache, wet clothes, dislocated
pins, hunger condensed milk and sim
liar inadequate foods), scurvy, ricketts,,
an irritation or itching of the skin from
excessive clothing and want of a tepid
bath and back rub-you must elimi-
nate all these possible things before
you can say the baby has collie.
Improper feeding is the cause of
collie. The food may contain too much
protein, too little fat condensed and
matted milk and various so-caIled I'm
FAINT foods" or the feeding may be
irregular, or at too frequent intervals,
and especially the habit of feeding
whenever the baby cries. One prolific
cause of collie, which we are happy to
say is passing with the heathenish

The first aid for collie is heat A
large hot moist compress may be ap-
piled to the abdomen, covered with a
dry flannel, but the heat must not be
sufficient to burn. The safest and per-
haps the best internal remedy is a
teaspoonful or a tablespoonful of min

LIVING COST

Chicago government contracts need
not serve as pretext for another rise
in meat prices. 1t was expected early
in July in any case. After a 10-year
increase Of "a per cent for steaks,
roasts, pork chops, bacon and ham,
and a 56 per cent rise for fowls, this
| is a misfortune, but it must be borne.
World causes make meat high, and we
can only watch monopoly sharply for
exploitation, and be thankful it is sum-
mer.
Food in general need not and should
not be made expensive by mobilization.
Wheat is cheaper than a year ago;
corn no dearer. Governor tenders for
canned goods are for inspected
amounts, delivered in Texas, but the
quantities accepted will be small in
proportion to general demand. The
war department has been for some
time accommodating stores in the south
and need not plunge as a purchaser.
Not like that of Europe is our sit
uation. We are. calling to the Colors
not millions of men but tens of thou
sands. II is idle to suppose that the
conditions Of daily living need be
made harder for those left behind be-
cause three persons out of every thou
sand may be drawn to the border and
there develop a better appetite.
So If any one makes the war an ex-
cuse for burdening the consumer with
heavier prices, it may be assumed that
somewhere there is greed deserving a
stern rebuke.

FORGETS OLD SOLDIERS

Whatever may be the truth as to the
ingratitude of republics, the tngrati-
tude of republicans. measured by their
platform, is an undeniable fact
Surely there was never a time in the
history Of the country when the old
soldiers who imperiled their lives in
the national defense should have had
their claims so clearly remembered as
now. At a time when every energy is
being bent toward the stimulation of
patriotism and preparedness, it is a
striking fact that the republican party
ing pensions for past services to lapse,
so far as the official platform voices
anything to the contrary.
A government which does not make
proper provision for the declining
the republic might live would hardly
fees for the future. And yet in this
crucial hour, when national defense is
the rallying cry OF every patriotic
American. the republican convention
at Chicago, after days of effort to multi
fly the splendid Americanism of Presi-
dent Wilson, utterly neglected even to
mention the old soldiers who had up
held the Americanism of the past
There was no such neglect on the
part of the democratic convention The
youth and manhood of today will find
an incentive to national service in the
democratic party's substantial graft
:ude for the sacrifices of the past
