given full and effective power of supervision and control. But the interests of those who build, who manage, and who invest in the railroads must be no less scrupulously guarded than the interests of the public. It is urgently necessary at the present time, In order to relieve the existing congestion of business and to do away with the paralysis which threatens our expanding industries, because of limited and inefficient means of distribution, that our railway facilities should be so Increased as to meet the imperative demands of our internal commerce. The want can be met only by

private capital, and the vast expenditure necessary for such purpose will not be incurred unless private capital is afforded reasonable incentive and protection. It is therefore a prime necessity to allow investments in railway properties to earn a liberal return, a return sufficiently liberal to cover all risks. We cannot get an improved service unless the carriers of the country can sell their securities; and therefore nothing should be done unwarrantedly to impair their credit nor to decrease the value of their outstanding obligations. For Positive Restraint. I emphatically believe that, positive restraint should be imposed upon railway corporations, and that they should be required to meet positive obligations in the interest of the general public. I no less emphatically believe that in thus regulating and controlling the affairs of the railways it is necessary to recognize the need of an immense out

lay of money from private sources, and

the certainty that this will not be met without the assurance of sufficient re

ward to Induce the necessary invest

ment. It is plainly inadvisable for the covernment to undertake to di

rect the physical operation of the railways, save In wholly exceptional eases; and the supervision and control it exercises should be both entirely adequate to secure Its ends, and yet no more harassing than is necessary to secure these ends. I believe that the railroad men of the United States are coiins to a more perfect sense of the responsibility of , the relation which they bear to the public, and of the dignity of that relation. They are public servants in the highest and fullest sense. Indeed, there Is not a brakeman nor a switchman upon the most remote road In the land who does not fill a public function and render a service of large public usefulness. We begrudge neither honor nor reward to these men to whom Ave entrust our lives and our property. Behind these active workers in the railroad field are those who have the determination of railroad policies. These men are entitled to great rewards; and in return public opinion is right in holding them to a rigid accountability for the way they perform their public duties. For several months past some, if not all, of our roads have been In a condition of extreme congestion. Doubtless this Is mainly due to the fact that the country has outgrown its railroads, that our prosperity has increased at such a rate that the most sanguine and optimistic railroads have been unable

to keep pace with its growth. But It is also true that ordmary methods of operation, which hold good in a placid time of steady and regular movement, should at a time of crisis yield to the imperative necessities of public need. Responsibility Is Serious. The experience of the past winter proves how great Is our dependence on railroads and how serious the responsibility of those who undertake to care for the public in the matter of transportation. I believe that there is sufficient ingenuity and executive genius in the operating officials of the roads greatly to diminish the troubles complained of. The most effective way to lessen demands for unreasonable legislation is for the railroads acting individually and collectively to remedy as many as possible of the abuses and shortcomings for which there really are remedies . and for which remedial laws are demanded by the shipping public. ! The admirable national legislation of recent years, in taking away from the! railroads the power of giving illegal fa-!

vor, has taken away from them one of the illegitimate methods by which they used to protect themselves from Improper attack; and it is therefore necessarythat upright public servants

should be as vigilant to protect themj against harm as to prevent them from' d6ing harm. Undoubtedly many high' officers among the railroad men have' followed the extremely unwise course j of trying to defeat the enactment of proper laws for their own control, andj of endeavoring to thwart, obstruct,' and bring Into discredit the adruinistra-. tion of the laws. But the folly of some! af their number in no way alters our, duty, nor the wisdom of performing j this dutyin a spirit of absolute justice

alike to the railroad, the shipper audi

the general public. A Matter of Morals. Finally, friends, let us never forget

that this is not merely a matter of bus-' iness. but also a matter of morals.! The success of our whole system of iovernment depends upon our discrimi-J nating between men, not with refer-' ?nce to whether they are rich are poor,! whether they follow one occupation or

another, but with reference solely to whether they act as honest and upright ritizens should act. Let the local at:orneys of the big roads keep out of !xlitics: and when they have to appear before the national or any. state eglslature let their names be put on i special register, and let their buslless be above board and open. There ire blackmailers in public life, and the citizen who Is honest will war against he man who tries to blackmail a rall- . , i , -

road or a big corporation with the same stern determination to punish

him as against the man who corrupt

ly favors such corporation. But let

the 'railroad man remember that 10 purchase immunity in wrongdoing or to defeat blackmail by bribery is the worst and most short-sighted of policies. Let the plain people insist on the one hand on governing themselves and on the other hand on doing exact justice to the railways. Let the big railroad man scrupulously refrain from - any effort to influence politics or government save as it is the duty of every good citizen in legitimate

ways to try to influence politics and government; let the people as a whole,

in their turn, remember that it is their duty to discriminate in the sharpest way between the railway man who does well and the railway man who

does ill; and, above all, to remember that the irreparable moral harm done to the body politic by corruption is just as great, whether the corruption takes the form of blackmailing a big corporation or of corruptly doing its bidding. What we have to demand in ourselves and in our public servants is honesty honesty to all men; and if

!we condone dishonesty because we

. I i IX X J X XJiS v -- f

? RELATIVE. t

& K

think it is exercised In the interests of the people, we may rest assured that the man thus showing it lacks only the opportunity to exercise It against the interests of the people. The man who on one occasion will corruptly do what is wrong in the interests of a big corporation is the very man eager to blackmail that corporation as the opportunity arises. The man who is on occasion a corruptionist is apt, when the gust of popular feeling blows hard against the corporations he has corruptly served, to be the loudest, most reckless, and most violent among those who denounce them. Hunt such a man out of public life. Hunt him out as remorselessly if he is a blackmailer as if he stands corruptly for special privilege. Demand honesty absolute, unflinching honesty together with courage and common sense, in public servant and in business man alike. Make it evident that you will not tolerate in public life a

man who discriminates for vr against any other, save as justice and reason demand it; and that in your attitude toward business men, toward the men who are dealing with the great financial interests of the country, while you intend to secure a sharp reckoning for the wrongdoers, you also intend heartily to favor the men who in legitimate ways are doing good work in the business community the railway president, the traffic manager, or other official, high or low, who is doing all in his power to handle his share in a vast and cqmplicattd business to the profit alike of the stockholder and the

general public. Let the man of great wealth remem

ber that while using and enjoying it, he must nevertheless feel that he is in

a sense a trustee, and that consistent

misuse, whether in acquiring or spend

ing his wealth. Is ominous of evil to

himself, to others wno have wealth.

and to the nation as a whole. As for

the rest of us let us guard ourselves against envy as we seek that others

guard themselves against arrogance,

and remember Lincoln's words of kindly wisdom: "Let not him who is

houseless pull down the house of an

other, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by exam

ple assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built."

lOrisinal-l ' II ey, cabman: Hold on!"; "I've got a fare, sir," pulling up. "What is it?" asked a gentleman from inside the cab. - "Th raiii is spoiling my uniform," said the man .who had called the cab from the curb of a street iu Berlin. "I can't hire a conveyance for love or money." "Where do you go?" asked the gentleman. "Anywhere till you aligliL" "Very well; step in." A young lieutenant of artillery got into the cab and sat down beside the gentleman, who was quite old and whose civilian's clothes and quiet demeanor were in marked contrast with the lieutenant's uniform and self confident air. The latter had been lunching with friends, and the wine he had drunk had imparted a rosy hue to his cheeks and stimulated his tongue. "Well, well, my veuerable friend," he said gayly, "I'm iu luck, aud you are very good to let me in your cab. I have an engagement to meet a young lady. I don't mind telling you you who have been so good to me that she is my flaucee. How would I look going into her presence all bedraggled? And she a relative of one of the first men in the empire." "Whom wouid you call one of the first men in the empire?" asked the old gentleman. "That would be telling a stranger the name of the lady to whom I am engaged. Ilowever, you may guess." "A member of the reichstag?" was the first guess. "A bigger mr.n than that." "A colonel iu the army?" "A great deal bigger man than a colonel, bnt I will aCniit he is a soldier." The geutlemnn guessed a number of generals, going higher and higher with each sruess. Not having guessed aright.

he gave it tip. "But you have not guessed high enough. There Is one still higher than all, the commander In chief." "I thought you said he was one of the first men in the empire." "I should call Field Marshal von Moltke a pretty big man. lie Is a great man, one of the greatest who have ever lived." "Yes, a very great man in the estimation of the people. But If he should lose a battle those who hurrah for him loudest would decry him loudest. It's hero worship." "My, friend, if the law of leze majesty were applicable to him I would report you. I have a good mind to do so any way. Who are you to speak so disrespectfully of the man next in importance to the emperor?"

"I have guessed to whom your fiancee is related. Suppose you guess who lam." - "A merchant?' "No." "A lawyer?" "No." "Better than those?" "I suppose so." "You have a position In the government?" "Yes." "In what department?" "The army." This sobered the lieutenant, but not enough to prevent his guessing further. "A retired colonel?" "Higher rank than that." "A general of brigade?" "Higher." The lieutenant guessed successively all ranks except general in chief, then

said: "You're fooling me." "No. You have not guessed high enough." "Nonsense. There only remains Field Marshal von Moltke." At that niomeut the cab drew up at a house, and the gentleman got out, expressing himself pleased at having saved the young man's uniform and a bedraggled appearance before his fiancee. Then the cab was driven on. The lieutenant, who believed the man had been chaffing him, thought no more about the matter and, having told the cabman where to take him, took a nap. Presently he was awakened by stopping before his fiancee's residence, got out, paid the cabman and sent him about other business. The next morning the lieutenant, who was on leave from his corp3, stationed in the provinces, returned to his post. When he again, visited Berlin it was to be married. The ceremony had been performed, and the guests were seated at the wedding breakfast when n small, slight old man in uniform entered the room. Every guest rose at once except the groom. His bride pulled at hla coat sleeve. He did not move, but sat with his eyes starting from their sockets and fixed on the approaching officer. "For heaven's sake. Heinrich. what is it?" exclaimed the frightened bride. "Get up. It is the field marshal, my cousin's cncle." "Gott im himme!!' gasped the groom. "It Is the old man in the cab!" The marshal advanced straight to the bride, kissed her and offered his hand to her husband, who by this time was standing straight as a ramrod and looking as If he expected to have his epaulets torn off and himself confined in a fortress for the rest of his natural I!fe. But the old man pressed his hand, looking at him kindly, and said: "Ach! You are the gentleman who paid me such high compliments. I

hope you will have as high an appreciation for your wife as you hare fcr the Lead of the armv." j F. A. MITCFTELfc ! v i , Tm I RHEUMATISM CURED IN A DAY. ! Mystic Cu" for Rheumatism and ;

RULES.

ers as

Contestants are required to make a list of the different cities or towns (either or both) of population of 5,000 or over within the United States not including Alaska or our insular possessions, usins for letters to make names of the cities or towns any of the letters in the reading matter within the heavy black bordered square. Example: Take any city or town of 5,000 or over Cincinnati for example. In the square find a "c" and cross it out; then find an "i" and cross it out; then find an -n" and cross it out; then another "c" and cross it out; another "i" arid cross It out; then another "n" and cross it out; again another "n" crossing it out; then find an "a" and cross it out;, then a "t" aud then another "i." This uses up ten of the lettars in the square, and you can not use these letters again. Now take another c?ty or town and proceed as before. As soon as a letter is used in the square cross it out carefully, as you cannot use the same letter again. Continue then until you have made as many cities or towns as you can. Cities or towns of the same name can be used but once. Do not use any abbreviations. Contestants are not allowed to send in a duplicate list, as this would he unfair to others. THE PRIZES. 1st Prize A magnificent $350.00 Kimball piano will be given to the person whose list contains the greatest number of cities or towns in compliance with the rules and conditions.

The Contest is aa Follows:

Below in the fceavv black border is the read

ing master from which the letters are to be taken in forming the names of cities and towns :

This contest is run solely for the benefit of piano buyers, and for the wise buyers it means much. Thoughtful buyers consider well the future destiny of their children and these same thoughtful parents draw this picture which is but too true. Those, who for want of a musical education ga through their early life, briefly speaking a wall flower, while the girl or boy who has been blessed with an education in music, immediately springs in popularity due to her accomplishments. She is sun-shine, because sunshine and music are as one. This same father pictures the sweat shop, the one that might employ his daughter at hours from seven o'clock in the morning until six o'clock at night, giving not only her life but her energy for a few paltry dollars, and he also pictures the contrast of the one who has perfected herself in music, grown into womanhood capable of having a class of music pupils which is worth anywhere from twenty to fifty dollars a week, hours to suit her convenience, plenty of time for her pleasure, and thrown constantly in contact with different surroundings and different companions than unfortunately we find in many sweat shops. THINK THIS OVER AND WEIGH IT WELL and if you are lucky enough to win the beautiful WORLD RENOWNED "KIMBALL" PIANO, which will be given away at this contest, rest assured that your son or daughter will never forget your efforts in their life.
