has come with inestimable benefit: it has not

legislature OF New York first asked grant a
franchise for eighteen miles OF steam railroad, the
right to build this first railroad granted
without bitter opposition which conended that it
would be unsafe because the engine would scare SO
many horses that unwarranted toll OF death would
result.
The railroad came and those who opposed it were
right in their death toll predictions The engines
did scare the horses. There were runaways, and
what is worse, there wrecks the rails and
ever-ncreasing list OF accidents have been recorded
as the iron ribbed mileage multiplied.

A Needed Change

Don't change horses in the middle
Of the stream" That is good old
saying ofton used and broadly app
lied. That would well hold good in
regard to the time when superinten-
dents OF schools take office. They
are elected in the general election in
the fall, and take office in January
when other official changes are made.
That igright IL the middle of school
year, and It surely breaks in OIL school
work to some extent. In Oklahoma,
and some other states the SUPER
ihtendent, elected in November, does
not take office until the first of the
Dext July. That 10 a long time, but

THEY tell about Jake goin' into
= the barn to light his lantern So
he could go courtin'. The farmer
next door kidded him: II never used
a lantern when I went courtin'," said
the farmer. and Jake said: mo, of
course not; an look what you got"
There's lots of Jakes out these days
with their lanterns, when they ought
to be out with their X-rays. What's
the use of looking at when you can
look in. Lantern marriages mean
pretty faces and heads with no
adornment but the hair. The only
advantage Of courtin' with lantern
Is that you can blow it out, an
then-ah. happiness doesn't come
from object to eye, but faith an
lasting love come from soul to soul,
an you don't need any lantern to
see that.

Rich Man, Poor Man

John D. Rockefeller, Jr., has again
laid down the laws of good citizen
ship. Save your pennies, he says;
don't run an automobile unless you
can afford it, don't have a phono-
graph unless you have money for
"such luxuries," work eight hours
day conscientiously, obey the author
tiles, don't violate the speed laws
except possibly during working hours
and respect prohibition.
Thus the young multimillionaire
revamps the react;onary rules of life
laid down by the rich for the poor for
ages, the recipe that has spread the
spirit of socialism further than any
thing in the world
Young Rockefeller is possessed of
so much wealth he can not count 1t.
Certainly he never worked and prod
uced it. Doubtless its beginning rests
on thrift and saving by his father,
but it has swollen to countless
millions without work.
His allusion to the phonograph as
a luxury as harks back to the dark
age. The phonograph has
saved the sanity of thousands oi
lonely women on the farms and giver
joy to millions of men and womer
from whose sweat the Rockefeller
millions have sprung.
