In all the continental countries which j
own and operate government roads pri- I
vate corporations also own and operate J
.roads. Italy appointed a comm esion to j
report on government ownership in re
spect to its economy c mip:tred with cor
porate ownership. That commission re
ported that in the six countiies, Aus-tro-Uungary,
Germany, Belgium, Den
mark, Norway and Sweden, the ratio of
expenses to earnings on government
roads was 67.6(5 and on private roa is
56.10 per cent. So that in that group
the cost of government operation ex
ceeded private operation by 20 per
cent.
The same commission reported that in
France the ratio of expense to earnings
was, on government roads 81.5, on pri
vate roads 53.8; Germany, 54.9t o 54.2;
Netherlands, 69.9 to 6ftt, The result of
the report of the commission was that
the Italian government sold Its railroads
to capitalists.
The government statistician of New
South Wales reports that in Australia
the government railroads cost $04,459
per mile, while private lines operating
in the same territory cost only $18,000
to $30,000 per mile. The earnings of
the government roads, chaigiug three
to four times the rates of the United
States, were 30.2 per cent, and the inter
est paid was 3 09 per cent, leaving an
annual deficit of of .97, or nearly 1 per
centj that was levied as a general tax on
the people, amounting to $5,007,063,
which they had to pay in addition to
railroad ivies three to four times higher
than in the United States.
D.U DnLMA9,the noted criminal lawyer
of San Francisco, said in his masterly
oration before the Oregon Bar Associa
tion at Portland : "The influence
wieldc'd by the concentration of wealth
in the hands of a few men in the affairs
of the nation is aB stupendous as it is
unprecedented. It controls political ac
tion, shapes legislation, molds financial
policies, dictates wars, formulates the
terms of peace, and, while preserving
the exti-rnal shape of a republic, trans
forms a government originally designed
to be curried on by the people for the
common benefit of all, into a mere
inoney-iuaking machine, controlled by
commercialism and operated in its in
terest. The results are already mani
fest. In the presence of this colossus
personal independence and Individual
enterprise are not only discouraged and
dwarfed, but absolutely paralyzed.
Holding in its mighty bunds the fates
and fortunes of individuals, to attempt
to disobey its dietatos or thwart its will
by individual effort is but to invito in
dividual ruin. And thus, to nil appear
ances, are the life und fate of the repub
lo rapidly passing from tha hands of
Amoric in freemen into those of finan
cial oligarchs."
Wiiiin the war with Spain made more
revenue necessary internal taxes were
restored. Last year, when the surplus
became troublesome, a part of theso
taxes was repealed. And now it is pro
posal by the republican leaders still fur
ther to reduce ' the taxes on whiskey,
beer and tobacco vicos or indulgences
which all civilized governments make
the basis of their revenue and to leave
untouched the worse tt an war taxes on
the necessaries of the peoplo, their food,
fuel, clothing And shelter: taxes, too,
which promote monopolies and permit
their beneficiaries to sell cheaper in for
eign markets than to homo consumers.
This would be better than to continue
taxation for a surplus or for extrava
gance. But is it just? Is it statesman
like? Is it safe in a country whore, after
all, the people rule?
An Indianapolis dentist has given up
the use of forceps for pulling teeth and
has adopted the primitive method of the
Chinese, using nothing but his thumb
and index linger. He considers that the
sight of the forceps themselves is respon
sible for much of the harrowing part of
tooth-pulling and that ninny nervous
persons are greatly knocked by the sight
of these instruments. The pain is also
ud to be less. He can take out the
most firmly rooted double tooth in a few
seconds. He learned this art from a
Chinese practitioner.
A's soon aa the weather will permit,
eays the Busloii Transcript, and proper
locations can be selected, there will be
pitched near Bonton the first of a num
ber of camps for consumptives. This
camp (and each succeeding 'camp will
be like-it) will consist of bin piuno-box
tents, arranged in a circle, with an open
air fire in the center, and surrounded by
a duck wall eight feet high. Each of
these tents will be a consumptive's
honiej a consumptive will sleep there,
even through the coldest weather, with
no other protection than plenty of felt
blankets, felt sleeping boots and a two
gallon jug of hot water.
Pome date the - Era of Science from
January 1st, 1001, and not without good
reason. In the long ages preceding, the
earth was supposed to be flat, the sun
and the "hosts of heaven" revolving
about it purposely to give light to earth's
denizens. But in 1600 came the new
astronomy, the astronomy of Coperni
cus, Bruno and Galileo. It demon
strated that the earth is a globe revolv
ing about the eun; that the stars are
worlds and suns; that there is no "up"
and "down" in tpace. Bruno sealed his
devotion tothonew truth with his life
on the 17th of February, 1000.
A large volume of American capital
has emigrated to Canada. A movement
is on foot among the "Kanucks" to pur
suade the Dominion government to re
peal the law taxing mining property 20
per cent of its output. If this move
ment succeeds, the vast mineral wealth
of Canada will be developed on a large
scale. Commercially, our northern
neighbor is hindiug himself closer to
us. . .
New Zealand, with about 650,000
population, has $221,000,000 of govern
ment debt, which is $340 per capita.
The nations of the world are not likely
to adopt the economical novelties of this
."Newest England," with its load of
debt. Government socialism and dol
lars do not work well together.
A New Yobs newspaper, says Life,
contains in one issue 268 different sub
jects; two-thirds ol these are devoted to
lies, two-thirds of what remains are de
voted to murders and scandals,and two
thirds of what still remains are devoted
to irrelevant gossip. One-third of what
is left is items of news. How many ar
tides are there still unaccounted for?
Whiskey drinking, poker playing
American officers see to it that the na
tives of Manila do not violate the law
by indulging in their favorite sport of
cock-fighting. The Filipino will learn
what Anglo-S.txon morality is as he
grows older and possibly wiser.
Tub graud old (democratic) party still

and is a power in the land. Let us pull
togother for a better and more harmon
ious organization and the standard of
the democratic party will be planted
on the White Ho-.ise in 1904.
Tub euormous increase in population
of the large cities of Germany is said
to be due to the retrograde movement
in agriculture, which has driven people
from the country.
In Gnat Hritain, the 339 municipal

Another ridiculous food fad his been
branded by the movt competent authori
ties. They have dispelled the silly no
tion that one kind of food is needed for
bones. A correct diet will not only nour
ish a particular part of the body, but it
will sustain every other part. et, how
ever good your food may be, its nutri
ment is destroyed by indigestion or dys
pepsia. You must prepare for their ap
pearance or prevent their ciming by tak
ing regular doses of Green's August
Flower, the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids di
gestion, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purities the blood, and makes you

It U Easy to Say
"Be careful," hut we must all go from
heated houses into chill outer air, and
the change sets us coughing and wheex
ing. Avoiding winter colds is difficult
curing thorn is not bard u you take Al
len 8 Lung Balsam. Better begin when
the cold is young and not wait until it
settles deep into the lungs, for then,
even with Allen's Lung Balaam,' com
plete relief will be slower.
Always seeks to. find some expression
for itself, and wommily gratitude will not
keep silence. Cynical people sometimes
say Why do women write these testimo
nials to the value of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription? The
answer can be
put in one word,
Gratitude, When,
afr years of
agony a woman is
freed from pain,
when the weak
woman is made
strong and the
sick woman well,
the natural im
pulse is to write a
word of grateful
thanks for the
medicine which
caused the cure.
Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription

It establishes regu
