RAILWAY RATES

Public Treasury Will Be Relieved
of Burden of Meeting Deficits

EDITORS POLL IN CONGRESS.
Heavy Vote for Return OF Roads
Arouses Interest at the Ma
tional Capital.
EDITORS POLL IN CONGRESS

Washington.-Th national poll on
the railroad question by 5000 news
paper editors throughout the country
has aroused great interest at the ma
tional capital. With 81 per cent. OF
the editors giving it as their impartial
opinion that the public fayors an cary
return of the railroads to their own
ers and only IL per cent. favoring Gov
eminent ownership or operation. the
members of Congress of both polit-
ical parties propose to provide speed
fly for the legislation to make it pos
sible to restore the roads TO private
management before the end of the
year.
In Congress there is a general agree
ment that the following steps will have
to be taken before the roads are re-
turned to their owners:
/. An advance in rates to meet the
greatly increased cost of labor and
materials in order that the Public
Treasury may be relieved Of the bur
den of meeting monthly deficits and
the roads made self-supporting. The
Director General Of Railroads states
that the increase In rates thus far Is
about Is per cent as compared with
an increase in operating costs Of from
so to 30 per cent.
2. Greater naturalization OF public
control of transportation-a single
public control in the Federal Govern
ment In place Of 40 masters in the diff
ferent States, with conflicting laws
and regulations.
5. Legalization Of consultations sud
common use Of lines and facilities
whenever in the public interest
4. Assurance through an act Of Con-
gress that in the future the Govern
ment will approve Of rates for freight
and passengers that will not only be
fair to the public. but fair to the roads.
and that will yield q sufficient income
on capital to attract the $75O,00O.0O0

ed every year for the expansion Of rail-
road facilities.

ILL LUCK FOLLOWED BOONE
Greatest Of All Americas Pioneers OF

With Kentucky won, Daniel Boone
found that. by one OF the twists or
law. the plot Of ground he Thought was
his was not his at all. Almost like
neuniless outcast he moved to Vir-
rtnia. but when fresh tales came TO
him of land in the west Of the Mis-
sissippi. then called Louisiana. his six
ty-one yenrs did not deter him from
risking a fresh start, relates Boys Life.
In ITo5 he established himself near
the present city OF st. Louis and took
what he thought was deed to land !;
brt in 1903. when this territory passed
from Spain to the United States. he
found this claim worthless. But now
the American people were awakened
To realization Of what Boone's lead
ership In Kentucky had meant to the
milton. Congress granted him $50
acres of land. There in the West free
from want. he passed his last days.
Twenty-Five years after his death his
remnins were brought back to Ken
tncky. And in the land he gave To
civilization he sleeps. this man VINO
carried the torch of civilization among
a savage people and barred his chest
to the shock of hattie that Its names

No one need be 1shnmed Of the fact
that they may have been. at some time

For Instance, there was the late Sir

Then there was Oliver Goldsmith.
the author of some of our greatest
English classics. Once he lived In
garret and was bothered by shrewish
landIady who demanded rent down"
oliver Goldsmith had also numerous
other debts, which surely ought to have
turned him away from literature in
disgust as a means Of livelihood.
But this Oliver Goldsmith would not
allow them to do. and consequently
he reaped his reward. And Zola. the

Market for Hair,

II was stated recently that human
hair Is worth $3.50 an ounce. and some
people have professed surprise at the
price As a matter OF fact. the figure
Is far below the fact. II is true that
some human hair can he purchased at
so low n figure as $3.50 pound, but
this Is the coarsest. commOnest stuff,
concerning the origin Of which It would
not be wise to inquire too closely.
From 500 to $3.50 pound are quite
usual prices for good examples Of hair
Of ordinary colors. while the rarer
hue~. particularly white and auburn,
are much more expensive.
For pure white hair there Is always
a larger demand than supply. and the
prices paid for the best qualities vary
from about s25 to $50 per ounce. A
weIi-knOwn London dealer has sold
white hair at $500 per pound.
