PRIVATE-PUBLIC IXC OXSISTEXCY
Coming down the other morning I
got to chatting with a gentleman who
preHldcs over the destiny of a company
maintaining a line of elevators. Some
reference was made to the difficulty
in getting competent help.
"Two out of three, In a great major
ity t KUmvm v.iitsit? utell wwl h oil u
alary, have no apparent concern for
the future," wag the rather pessi
mistic comment he made. "We- have
employes who have been with us for
many years. When they were draw
ing $50 a month they managed to
spend every cent for living expenses.
Finally, later, when they are draw
ing $175 a month, a careful andit of
their account would show that $173.50
of this went for living expenses and
the $1.50 Is used up In car faro. ' If,
for any reason, they were thrown out
of employment or were taken sick,
they, have little or nothing to fall back
on. The national government Is set
ting a bad example for these people
by not taking the means to conserve
our resources. We are spending mil
lions or dollars in bulldlns un a. creat
big navy and Increasing our standing
army In order to be prepared for an
unexpected emergency. Even now
the government has considered It nec
essary to put the militia of the vari
ous states In condition where they
'Will bo effective soldiers should we be
attacked by some foreign foe. Appar
ently none of our statesmenf, how
ever, hnve considered the necessity of
having n sufficient 'supply of bread
stuff to mi'ct.nn emergency. .Year
after year the bountiful harvests arc
galheroil and before another matures
we hnve dlsslpnted the last one. To
day there In almost a complete fambie
of old -wheat in tho northwest. All of
th farmers' tins and elevators have
been swept clean. As an ctl:nnlo I
would nay that there was ios than a
million bushels of wheat stored In our
. local elevators. When it In coni-li'-'ivd
thnt the, mills grind about lou.nno
buKhels a day, you can ce,. how close
the margin It. My one of the dHjier--natlons
of nature, corn cannot be kept

torn of the hlMP, Ijnwever, before It Is
loaded up Into mm and put through
our Immense flour mills or started mi
lla Ions Journey to feed the nurpl.i.i
population n ill'' old world.
"Now,, my Id -a I t i n t the ko em
inent might to Insist upon a certain
percentage of the wheat b. la;; put
away and maintained against possible
crop fay ure or unexpected hostilities
On the part of nmo enemy," MUggcsl-
ed tho grain1 man. "What would have
been tho result today If something had
happened to the crop of this coun
try? It Is pretty eeruln that had the
heavy delude of r.iln thut occurred In
Jluy nnd Juno continued through July
that there would have been little or
nnthlnii to have harvested , .y this
Unio. There ute other caliimitloH that
could havu eltlu-r partially or wholly
wiped out the growing grain, not to

flent supply left over cmh year to
carry us through another' year. The
farmers themselves kcchi to hnve little
regard fur the Immediate future and
nothing for posterity. Year after year
thsy continue to impoverish the soil.
nd It Is only a question of time when
much of this fertile country that now
urroundaus will be like the deserted
places I saw on my visit back to old
New England. Take the situation al
together, It deserves a whole lot of
careful, study and wise management."
Long before this discourse had come
to an end we hadreached the parting
of our ways, but I lingered at the cor
ner until this amateur sage had com
pleted his discourse. Mississippi Val

to follow Cans around the ring, but

right and left to the face. Gans duck

when the gong sounded. -
Round 2 vlt you can't hit any
harder than that, you might as well

forced Gans around the ring. Gans
countered with a hard right to -the

terrific efforts for 'the body. The
round ended In Nelson's favor.
Round 3 As usual, Nelson Jumped
right Into the game. He went In close
and sought to reach Gans' body; some
of his efforts were blocked", but sev'i

They fought shoulder to shoulder,
Nelson doing the leading and Gans
blocking. Gans broke the clinch by
shooting a right to Nelson's Jaw and
then tried to keep Nelson away and
forced him to fight at long range.
However, they closed In, Nelson reach
ing Gans' body with short arm rights
and lefts. Gans handed out a few
right and left punches to the mouth
and one started the blood to Nelson's
lips. Gans fought back and the gong
clashed In Nelson's favor.
Round 4 Nelson rushed In but
Gans sent him back a foot with a
straight right and two 'lefts to the

him with short ai m rights hnd lefts to

realize that It would be beyond the
power of 'any body of men to legis
late intelligently on the multitude of
questions that require consideration.
"Not only would national legislators
lack the time necessary for Investiga
tion, and therefore lack the Informa
tion necessary to wise decision, but
the Indifference of representatives In
one part of the country to local mat
ters In other parts of the country
would Invite the abuse of power.
Then, too, the seat of government
would be so far from the great major
ity of the voters as to prevent that
scrutiny of public conduct Which Is
essential to clean and honest govern
ment. The union of the separate
states under a federal government of
fers the only plan that can adapt It
self to, Indefinite extension. ,
"It has been suggested that ' the
rights of the states can lapse through

In usurping the authority of the1 state
it the state falls to make proper use
of It. While this doctrine has been
advanced In the protended Interest of
tho people, It Is as insidious and as
dangerous un assault as has ever been
made on our constitutional form of
government. The people of the state
can act with more promptness than

would distinguish between those rail
road owners, directors and managers
who, recognizing their obligation to
the public, earn their salaries by con
scientious devotion to the work en

railroads as mere pawns In a great
gambling game without regard to the

of the patrons. It Is In the Interest of
'honest railroading and legitimate In

seeks to ascertain the present value
of the railroad properties and to pre
vent for the future the watering of
stock and the Issuing of fictitious cap

both the railroads and the public that
It seeks only such reductions In trans
