GOLD COMFORT FOR ACTOR
Super's Expressed Willingness to Carry Out His Part of Contract
 Didn't Help Bruises.

". c. Laidlaw of the Kansas Farmers union said during the agricultural conference in Washing ton:
 ''When people try to tell me that the middleman helps the farmer, I tell them in return the story of the fat actor.
 "A fat actor had to jump from a 12-foOt cliff to a piece of ground that was hidden behind the scenes. so he gave a brawny super a quar- ter to be there to catch him as he landed.
 "Well, the time came for the fat actor to leap, and, looking and see ing that the super was on the spot. he sprang carelessly into the void. as if the 12 feet were no more to him than 12 inches.
 'Dswn he sailed swiftly through the air and-crashl he struck the hard floor with terrible impact. For the super, stepping back, had failed him.
 Why didn't you catch me?' he moaned, when he could speak.
 fI wanted to- said the super, <but you didn't bounce.'"

MICHIGAN LEADS IN PARKS


 Michigan now has 23 state parks. which is more than any other state. New York and Pennsylvania ex- cepted. New York has the greatest number. The total area of these 8 parks is greater than the area of the parks of other states exclusive of several western states where there are national parks like the Yellow stone, and save the area of the parks of the Empire state and the Key stone state. The largest Michigan state park, 820 acres, is on Burt lake, near Indian river, Cheboygan county.

the corruption of legislatures and
the railroads. Determinations by re-
bate and otherwise we're notorious.
Some railroad men made great futures
by engaging in business other than
transportation and using their control
to crush their rivals.
"If the first was the age of TO-
nance, this was the era of ruthless
ness. But as everything about rail-
roads begins with r, as there had been
romance and ruthlessness, so there
must needs be regulation. And the
regulatory period began about 1903.
Then it was that the children of rail-
road men, when their suppers had dis
agreed with them, dreamed Of Sena-
tors instead of Indians. Then came
those governmental restraints upon
the old freedom which would have
made the pioneers turn in their
graves.
Then came u wartime expert
ment in complete government control
experiment which was a happy
one in two contrasted ways. Unifica-
ton of transportation systems made
possible the winning of the war; but
the financial consequences both to the
railroads and public furnished an elo-
quent answer to the apostles of perma-
nent government ownership. Our own
experience has thus corroborated the
general proposition that government
ownership of railroads has failed to
justify itself wherever in the world it
has been tried.
"Such is the hazy background
against which an inexperienced Sena-
tor views the present railroad stu
alton as the railroads do their work
under that most interesting statute
known as the Esch-Cummins act"

Marcus. Say, you'll Come and stand

He touched a spot on the floor with
his riding whip; and Polly stepped
upon it.
"Now you listen to me-" he said
sternly. 1--WE come with a proposition
to your father, and if you've any influ-
ence with him, you'd better talk him

Polly's face frightened a little. Then
it was not real harm coming to Daddy
Hopkins today. She wished now that
he would come in and, almost as If in

Hopkins passed through the doorway

Jeremiah made an awkward bob or

One long gasp came from Polly. Her
father said nothing but looked back at
the speaker as if he had not heard.

say what's what" she interrupted sud-
denly. There's lots of squatters."

Out into the settlement she went,
and when she came back into the
shanty, there followed her an angry
set of il~ly-clothed men; and outside a
sullen group of women waited to hear
what Old Marc had to offer.

After that the "littlest mother"
made large strides upward toward the
ried thing in the woods, every heavy
heart in the squatter settlement felt
the difference in Polly Hopkins. She
smiled more, she talked more; and,
when she found a group of her women
folks wondering how their absent lad
dies were, she led them in smiling as
urance to Old Mares fence and there
repeated what Robert Percival had
said about the Greatest Mother in the
World.
One morning POllyop was cleaning
the shanty and Granny Hope was seat
ed by the stove. A sharp rap came on
the door. When Polly opened it and
recognized the caller, she would have
closed the door and barred it if a
mans heavy boot, thrust r the
threshold, had not prevented her.
There in his riding clothes, naughty
and %frOwning, stood Marcus MacKen-
zie.
"Where's Jeremiah Hopkins?" he
demanded, cycling Pollyop sternly.
She fidgeted with the edge of her
apron. Had Mackenzie come to harm
her best beloved?
my daddy's gone out" she returned
finally, in a low tone.
"Then III wait" said Marcus. "Ill
sit down and wait"
Polly set out a chair for him, her
legs trembling so she could scarcely
stand. Granny Hope grunted out a
word of greeting, but the man gave
her no answer and, after blinking at
him a few times, the old woman fell
asleep.
This is a rotten hole" spat out
Mackenzie presently, looking at the
girl.

UNITED STATES SENATOR PEPPER
SAYS THE GOLDEN AGE
OF RAILROADING WAS
AROUND 1879

Senator Pepper, of Philadelphia who
succeeded Boies Penrose in the United
States Senate, seems to be in demand
as a public speaker. He spoke in
New York on Monday night, February
20, 1922. Senator Pepper is a noted
lawyer. The following account of his
speech is taken from the Public
Ledger:
Sketching a history of the railroad
industry from the early days before
the Civil War when romance and
ruthlessness" were dominant factors
in the upbuilding of the great railway
systems of the country, Senator Pep
per, of Pennsylvania, speaking at the
Hotel Commodore before the New
York Traffic Association ION an old
problem and a new Senator" laid
down three principles which he de-
clared must be applied to a solution
of present-day railroad conditions.
These conditions, he said, are:
First-An equilibrium of interests
must be preserved between those who
travel and ship, those who furnish cap
ital, those who run the trains and
those who run the business.
Second-The preservation of equi-
librium between these four interests
is partly a matter of human relation
ships and partly a matter of legal
compulsion.
Third-Progress toward a healthy
solution of the problem of equilibrium
must be marked by an ever-increasing
emphasis ON the human element and a

to have nothing to do with him.

girl's face, he switched his attack.

This query unfolded new terrors for
Polly. She had not thought Of the
lamb belonging to anyone but herself.
Had she not found him dying in the

The Story of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XLI.-WASHINGTON
~ THE story
q q q |. : & {. ! !. !. =: !: !: ]: ! ]: !: J. J. !
a M ington, the
MI R Nan r ty-second
HI t1 ISL state of the
w &&W HI Union, is tied
N&88GW up with two
&AINS2 of our presi-
dents. The first is obvious, for
it was in honor of our first presi-
dent, George Washington, that
the state was named, as a last
ing memorial to this great sol
dier-stateSman. But the actual
fate of this region was due to
President Polk, and formed the
main issue in his campaign for
election in 1874.
Previous to that time, the
country north of California and
extending to Alaska, which was
then owned by Russia, was called
the Oregon territory. Claim was
laid to this region by both Great
Britain and the United States as
has been seen in the story of
Oregon. In 1918, when the boun-
Diary between Capada and the
United States was settled. this
line was definitely placed from
the Atlantic coast to the Rocky
mountains. But no agreement
could be reached west of that,
and it was left under an arrange
ment whereby this territory was
to be Jointly occupied by the
British and Americans.
Settlers from the United
States began to come into the
Northwest in such numbers that
the United States felt that they
should own this section, which
included the present states of
Oregon and Washington, and
British Columbia, through the
right of possession. Agitation
in favor of actively pushing our
claims became so strong that
when Polk was nominated by the
Democrats in 1914, one of the
main planks in the party plat
form was the famous one popu-
larry called, "Fifty-four forty or
fight"
In 1916 a peaceful settlement
was made with England on a
compromise basis.
In 1858 Washington territory
was separated from Oregon. 1t
did not, however, become a state
until 1889, and then only after
thirteen years petitioning for adj
mission.

Analogy Seen in Pacific Pact

Upon the second of these PROPOSE
tions Pennsylvania junior Senator
said:
at may not be amiss to point out
the analogy between the task of main
tanning industrial peace between four
groups within a great commercial en-
terprise and the task which four great
nations have set themselves to main
tain peace in the region of the Pacific.
Conscious Of the ~inadequacy of
leagues and covenants and alliances
for coercion, the four great Powers
have said to one another, Our deepest
interests are interests which we have
in common Our greatest desire is for
the equilibrium of peace. We perceive
that it is through personal contacts
and in the atmosphere of conference
that understanding and fellowship are
most likely to flourish. We exchange
pledges, therefore, that if trouble
threatens neither disputant will do a
hostile act until the others have a fair
chance to bring diverging minds to-
gether. Conference may not perfectly
succeed, but conference can eve
wholly fall"

"About 1879 the Golden Age came
to an end. 1t began to be whispered
that the railroads were making a great
deal of money, but keeping their books
and issuing their securities in such a
way as to evade payments due on sub

public suspicion and dissatisfaction
began to express itself in legislation.
