LOVE OF SOLITUDE

THE truly great, the largesouled
e and women who delight In
going afeld In the mystic realm Of
thought. you will find are ardent lovers
Of solitude.
They are never lonely wherever they
may be, for they have found the way
to happiness by getting acquainted
with themselves, whose companionship
they prefer to any other.
Washington chose solitude when he
prayed for strength and guidance in
the forests; Lincoln knew nothing of
loneliness when he lay upon the floor
of his log cabin before the glow Of a
hearth fire studying by its faint light
and bordering the subject matter of
his lessons: the late John Wanamnker
solved his most difficult business prob
lens in privacy.
The men and women Of exclusion,
illuminate the world by dazzling
achievements, born to them In their
quiet hours Of isolation. Their works
fare up like magic torches to light the
paths Of the faltering and disheart-
ened.
The greatest writer's do their best
work In solitude, often In the night
time, when voices are hushed and ST.
lence is supreme.
And so do painters and presidents,
kings and capitalists, students and In
ventors.
There is nothing more inspiring to
thinking minds than quietude; moth
ing 50 grandly sublime and impressive
as a canopy Of stars In q still night
when one II far away from the noisy
haunts Of men with ones own
thoughts.
Only in solitude can man find him.
self. 1t was in solitude on the sea
shore that Demosthenes found him
self, whence he came and stirred the
people of his time with such oratory
MS had never been heard.
Real nobility OF the soul dwells
only in the men and women who care
nothing for social gatherings and fri
volities. Such men and women prefer
to be alone with their muses.. where
find their greatest pleasure in
study, meditation and exploration,
from which the human family uIti-
mately derive benefit.
The best in science, In art and in
literature comes from the people who
choose seclusion in preference to the
glamour of bright lights and the folly
Of merry-making among turbulent
crowds, barely able to find their way
about, add up a column of figures, or
to tell offhand the number Of square 3.

RUM RUNNER AND
WOMAN PAID PENALTY

Calgary, Alta, April 30.-Con-
victed of the murder of Constable
Steve Lawson, Emilio Picarrilo and
Florence Lassandra, his lover, will
be hanged Wednesday in the Fort
Saskatchewan Jail, the federal cab
met at Ottawa having officially an
nounced that it will not interfere
with the sentence of death. Picar-
rilio's large fortune, it is said, prov
ed unavailing in his efforts to win
clemency.
Because of the wave of opposition
to capital punishment that was Gre
ated in Canada following the hang
ing of a woman in England for muir
der, it was expected the death SEN
tence imposed on the Lassandro wo-
man would be committed to life i'm
prisonment. 1t is "a years since a
woman was hanged in Canada. On
December 7, 1899, Emily Hilda
Blake was hanged at Brandon, Man
itoba, and Cordelia Viau was exc
cuted in Quebec the same year.
Picarrilo, known as Emperor Pie"
was probably the biggest individual
rum runner in the business in the
west and his activities are said to
have Melted him a large fortune.
His daring exploits and those of his
son are still the talk of people along
the Crows Pass and the international
boundary. When epic" was arrest
ed for the murder of Lawson, it was
current rumor that he had a big
cache of liquor just south of the
border, in Montana. looking for
"Pic's" cache across the border and
in the Canadian mountains was a
popular pastime for some months.
Picarrilo is the father of a large
and lived at Blairmore, Alta,
a mining town in the Crows Nest.
He owned a hotel there and was in
terested in many local enterprises.
He was a member of the town coun-
Gil. The officer whom he killed, a
man on the provincial police,
was known as a fearless officer, and
more than once he figured in clashes
with rum runners. He left a wife
and several young children.

RAILWAY EARNINGS
NOT GUARANTEED
POPULAR IDEA TO THAT Eff
Feet ERRONEOUS-PRES.
BUDD EXPLAINS RATES

There are some fallacies concern
ing the railroads so commonly urged
IN argument that I want to discuss
them, largely because l believe many
of our troubles arise from misunder-
standings" Ralph Budd, president of
the Great Northery Railway said to-
day.
Probably the most common error
is the assertion that the earnings of
the railroads are guaranteed by the
government. The fact is that while
the management of the railroads was
restored to the individual companies
March 1, 1920, the federal control
rental vas paid until Sept. /, 1920.
Since then there has been no obi
cation on the part of the government
to make up any shortage of earnings
and no such payments have been
made by the government or claims
advanced by the railroads, although
the earnings of the railroads have in
fact fallen short by n billion dollars
of what the Interstate Commerce
Commission had designated as a fair
return.
THE Transportation Act declares
it the duty of the Interstate Com
merce Commission to fix railroad
rates at such a figure as in it's judy
ment will enable the railroads as a
whole or by regions to earn a fair
return upon the value of the property
used for transportation purposes.
Such rate has been fixed at 5A per
cent, for the present, and may be
changed from time to time by the
commission. PHI
"The public interest is carefully
protected because if the rates fixed
fail to provide fair returns, the rail-
roads have no and must
stand the deficiency, while if any road
earn in excess of a fair return
the law requires payment of one-
half of such excess to the govern
"It has been stated the railroads
are allowed to carr a return on an
amount far in excess of their value;
IN other words, on watered stock.
The facts are that the Interstate
Commerce Commission not only de-
what a fair rate of return
is, but also determines the valuation
upon which the fair rates of return
shall be calculated.
1.-THE valuation is based on a ply
inventory and pre-war costs,
amount of stocks and bonds out
standing being wholly disregarded.
This valuation is being made in the
most painstaking manner, and after
eight years of work, at a cost of
$40, ZOO, 900, it is nearing compile
ion. t
BIASED on what has been done, the S
Interstate Commerce Commission has
ct forth a tentative valuation of $751; {
100, 600, 1000 for all the railroads in s
he United States. This figure ex- q
eeds the par value of all railroad Q
tocks and bonds outstanding, but is
ess than the property investment of a
he railroads of the United States. n

PRICE OF COTTON SHOWS REACTION

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Yesterday's big advance was followed by reac- tions in today's cotton market. De- cember made new high for the sea son. selling at 35.17 at the opening, but the demand was much less ac- tive than it was yesterday and prices soon weakened under realiz- ing. December sold off to 34.S5 in the late trading or about 90 points from the early high and 55 points net Joss. That delivered closed at S5.13 with the general market clos ing steady at Net declines of 15 to Al points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of to IS points on continu- ation of yesterdays buying move ment, which was encouraged by the relatively firm showing of Liverpool and reports of continued good trade in Manchester. The opening ad- vance, which carried January and later deliveries back to just about the best prices of yesterday after noon was checked by profit taking. This was very well absorbed on com paratively moderate reactions dur ing the morning but the market acted as if the demand was being gradually filled up, and offerings in- creased during the early afternoon. The selling was accompanied by rumors that foreign long interests were liquidating lines of long con tracts, and while some trade buying to fix prices on call cotton was reported earlier in the day, the demand from that quarter became less active during the afternoon. Prices broke in consequence and few stop orders were uncovered on the decline which carried January off to 34.35 and May to BATS, mak- ing net losses of 45 to 55 points on the active positions. Last prices were several points up from the low est on covering. There were ru- mors during the afternoon that Brem- en interests were asking for offers for cotton for the first time in sev- eral weeks, and that they might be- come buyers of low grades at the prevailing discounts. There were also reports of little more business in cotton goods, but, according to local brokers, the days market was pretty well dominated by the dis position to take profits above the 35 cent level Experts today 9,525, making 2,225,629 so far this season.

CHICAGO. Nov. 22.-The butter market here was decidedly weak today, with trad ing light and supplies fairly liberal. There were liberal offerings at the below listed prices. but buyers apparently were not interested at any prices Most oper- ators, while offering freely and expecting further slight declines, did not expect an extended period of weakness. For that reason they were not ready to make ma terial concessions.
