NEW FUNCTION FOR RAILROAD
Photographs Of Scenic Views Are Now
Employed to Please the Prospee-
tive Traveller. -~:

Nowadays the railway man does
something more than oil and repair
locomotives. run trains, keep rOadbeds
in repair. and prepare timetables. He
also takes photographs. T. -.
This is because the modern railway
man has come to broad understanding
of his function. He. is not merely a
transformed bus driver. He Is a mer-
chant. He sells transportation. as Z
piano dealer sells pianos. and he de
sires to make his product attractive.
The beautiful casing Of a piano does
not add to its musical qualities, but 1t
makes the prospective purchaser
pleased with 1t in advance and content
ed with it after he purchases it. A
photograph does not transport q pas
senger or make his journey safe. but
/ it pleases the prospective traveller and
adds an element to his journey which
makes it. more valuable to him both
: in anticipation and In meinory.tn
But the railway man is even more
than merchant. He is as truly as an
officer OF the government a social serv-
ant. Civilization is product OF
travel. Whoever not only promotes
travel but helps to give 1t significance
is leadr In civilization. And this la
what the railway man does.
1t is in this capacity, not merely an
a merchandiser of motion. but as an
enlarger of the environment of men and
teacher of what travel has to offer to
mems minds and souls. that the rail-
way man employs the camera.-From
the Outlook.

Bananas Grow Pointing Upward.

Bananas Grow Pointing Upward.
A bunch of bananas, as displayed in
store is hung just opposite from the
way 1t grows. Bananas grow with
Their free ends pointing upward. The
herb on which the fruit grows has an
underground stem which sends up
suckers Or sprouts that attain their
full growth in year and a half or two
years. Its trunk" is moi really trunk
at all. but false stalk formed by the
curlea bases of the leaves, which wrap
themselves about the flower stem. This
stalk, almost q foot in diameter.a at the
bottom. rises to. a height of from ten
to forty feet. its great leaves. a foot
or two in width and from six to ten
feet in length, dropping outward.
When the plant has reached its full
growth there appears huge flower
bftl. which opens and shows bunch
of little purple flowers. each of which
makes way for tiny banana. The
great flower cluster hangs toward the
earth. but as the separate fruits begin
to grow they turn upward From 80
to $50 bananas. weighing altogether
from 40\to 100 pounds, may grow in

HARDING ACTED IN THE
SPIRIT OF LINCOLN

IF there had been Imprisonment.
tor sedition during the Civil war;
most of the leaders Of the party of
opposition would have been in Jail
Ut the close Of the struggle. The
7state and national conv' ntions CT tn
Democratic party passed resolutions
N 1862 and 1864 declaring the war
b failure, characterizing the strug'
Gle for the maintenance Of the Un-
Son as war of subjugation a~d de-
nouncing Lincoln as tyrann cal
usurper. Lincoln had the good
sense to discourage the jailing OF
opponents of the governments war
policies; he believed it was better to
~1et them blow off =" When militia y
court convicted Valla-digham Of
Ohio of encouraging resistance to
the draft, Lincoln refused to approve

ingly as. a candidate for governor of
Ohio.
After the Civil war no one was put
in jail or kept in Jail either for Sc
dition or treason Even the effort
to prosecute jefferson Davis "peter-
ed out" Th~re were reasons enough
for prosecutions on both accounts,
but Lincoln believed and the country
believed that when war emergency
was over it was time to relax wars
: rigorous pr"ct'ces. IF I'll those
IN the country who had been treas
enable or seditious during the Civil
war bod bonn punished in accord
ance with the terms of the constitu-
ton and the laws, the jails would
have held about half the civil popu-
Iation. .- ..,..-. ~.. -.--
There is as much tolerance and
common sense in the country today
as there was at the close of the Civil
war. Thee are plenty of perfectly
good theoretical arguments in favor
of l-eeping D bs and other violators
of the sedition act in Jail, but the
characteristic American spirit of toll
erance ard common sense suggested
the release of those Jail d under war
statues affecting the public express
sion of private opinion. The Ma
tional Republican suggested many
months ago that Eugene Debs in
Jail could do far mere effective SER
vice in behalf of socialism and pac-
ifism than he could out of Jail. Of
the personal honesty and sincerity
of Debs there is no doubt; that is
more than can he said of most of thu
revolutionary radicals. He is an cid
man, an hcne~t if mistaken man,
