keeps them carefully shut up at night
by means of a heavy door, for which
he uses rake in place of lock. A
fox had made out the whereabouts of

night to see what he could do. He
was foxy enough to go for the rake
in order to get the door out of the
way. But the moment the door be-
came loose it dropped down on him
and broke his back. He could not
even get away from under the door.
and when the owner of the place APP
peared on the scene the next morning
the geese were standing around won
dering what vas the matter with that
strange an.mal. Morton Vestergaard

Washington, June 22.-The repuhli-
can platforms bold demand for the
liberalization of all governmental au-
thorty to regulate railroads is already
one Of the recognized big issues Of the

Ii Will get full recognition for its
real Importance sooner in Washing
ton than turnout the country, because
Washington has so long been COM
PEELED TO deal with the difficult prob
lens of regulation. Congress, the in
terstate commerce commission. the
federal courts, have of necessity delNed
deep into the problems OF divided
public authority They all realize its
impossibility. Business generally does;
financial interests do. There are some
political factors that refuse 10 under
stand it: and chief OF these are the
state rights element in the south and
the political organizations OF states
that want to retain the power and
patronage of the state railway COM
missions.
At the time OF its adoption in Chi
cago. this plank attracted little at
character Yet il declares in favor of
the concentration Of all authority Of
governmental regulation over the rail-
roads In the federal government. Il
would abolish every state railway COM
mission. and every vestige of the au-
thority Of other public service COM
missions over carriers doing interstate
business. It declares that this shall
be done II possible by legislation, but

while the victory Of the suffragists has

entertained IN washington. however,
that It will presently do this.
