CITY OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER.
HUNGER The latest drawing for government lands, this time in Ne
FOR LAND braska, brought together the usual deeply interested crowd,
many of whom stood long in the cold waiting for the opening of the build
ing where the allotments were decided. No doubt the wheel of fortune
method had some part in attracting the throng. The desire to own and
utilize land is an important feature of American life. There is plenty of land
for the landless in this country, though scarcely any on practicable terms in
many other parts of the world. A judicious rush to farming, instead of one
to cities, would be pleasing to economists, and promise more in equalizing the
cost of living than any other proposed remedy. Moreover, all the standard
crops are likely to be profitable beyond the former average.
An energetic, industrious man who wants to cultivate land need not go to
a drawing for a location. Let him look around intelligently and he will find
" a choice of many opportunities. In any case, as the proverb truly says, there
is more in the man than in the land. All varieties of climate are open to- an
American, all kinds of soil, and in everyone of the forty-eight states cheap
lands are abundant. Shivering in line in the cold-is not required in finding
them. Missouri's richest farmer, who died not long ago, started in a small
way in another state and was drawn there by the high quality and cheaper
price of Missouri land. He kept on buying as income increased and worked
up to a profit of over $100,000 a year. No doubt he was an exceptionally
able manager and judge of good chances. No need to go to the wheel of
fortunte for land in this country.
O
THE REGULATION Despatches . from Washington indicate that the
OF SPEED Interstate Commerce commission may seek from congress the
right to regulate the speed of trains. The proposed measure involves a ques
tion that is beyond the scope and the human intelligence of the commission 1:0
determine, and for this reason : No two sections of railroad track are precise
ly the same, and it is therefore a physical impossibility to lay down a rule as
to speed even for a limited area.
The more expert the engineer the more sure and capable is he to determine
the exact amount of speed that every foot of track can produce. Herein lies
one of his chief elements of skill, the result of long sensitiveness of touch
' arising from the response which the roadbed gives to the operation of the
throttle.
Even laymen know that engineers are only allowed to have definite runs
over comparatively short sections of track, for the express purpose that they
may become intimately familiar with specific conditions. Old engineers
know almost to a mathematical certainty what time they can make up over
every rail on a right of way.
How then can it be humanly possible for a body of men sitting in Wash
ington to determine and settle the changes of speed that occur over each mile
of track from Portland, Maine, to Portland, Oregon? What will be the
rate of speed on a down grade over the Denver and Rio Grande, and what
We Can t Expect World Peace
If We Break Our Treatu

E CAN HAVE LITTLE INFLUENCE IN THE GREAT MOVEMENT
FOR WORLD PEACE IF WE ARE NEGLECTFUL IN KEEPING
OUR OWN TREATY OBLIGATIONS, FOR THE STABILITY OF
INTERNATIONAL LAW AND THE FULFILLMENT OF NATIONAL OB
LIGATIONS IS AS NECESSARY TO THE PEACE OF THE WORLD AS
THE STABILITY AND MAINTENANCE OF LAW AND ORDER ARE
NECESSARY TO THE PEACE AND PROSPERITY OF SOCIETY.
Law is the embodiment of the highest of civilization. It has governed
the relations of men in the most primitive and savage state and in the
.modern and highest developed society.
- Before history recorded and left to succeeding generations the doings
of men law was the governing power and controlling influence of com
munities" and nations. With the growth of government, the uplifting of
physical and social conditions, law has been keeping pace with the march"
of progress. Its invisible forces DOMINATE AND CONTROL NA
TIONS, man in all his relations in society, the tremendous transactions
of modern economic life and the minutest details of our social and indus
trial fabric.
It is all pervading and ever present WITHOUT IT THERE IS
NO GOVERNMENT, NO SOCIAL ORDER, NO HOME. Its admin
istration is the highest and noblest duty of man to his fellows. Its purity
and stability are necessary to the peace, happiness and prosperity of peo
' pies. Its corruption is the destruction of the state and of the nation.
on the down grade over the foothills? What will be the legal rate during
fog and what during starlight?
From the point of view of the railroad companies such an impracticable
proposal is perhays curisously enough, welcome. Why? Because it would
afford them an opportunity to call a halt on the public's demand for ex
cessive speed on limited trains. When it got to the point, fpr instance, when
competition forced rival roads to cover the distance between New York and
Chicago in sixteen or seventeen hours practical railroad men knew that not
only was such a performance a crime against safety every time the feat was
attempted, especially in bad weather, but from the consideration of profits
also these fast trains have never been big money makers, contrary to the popu
lar notion. --
Fast service means two mean elements of loss and expense, first, the wear
and tear on equippment, together with the necessary high degree of upkeep
of what may be called ultrafashionable rolling stock; and secondly, the im
mensely larger cost of a complex operating organization that is needed where
every moment means money on long distance runs. And of course the waste
in fuel alone on high speed trains is simply prodigious. - t ,
Yet speed regulation will not happen, or rather cannot happen, because no
commission under the sun can calculate speed laws that can apply for the dif
ferent conditions that exist on different railroads. Who can say even what
should be the difference between the speed limit of a single road and a four
track road? . ., -
The whole idea is preposterous.
O . " "
AMERICAN Many a worthy, but struggling, charity has been placed on
BENEFACTIONS its feet by a timely bequest or gift from a living friend
and' the whole cause of organized benevolence has frequent reason to re
joice over this tendency which, while not by any means confined to one nation
ality, is shown in the United States on a scale never known before. Large
gifts in this country amounted last year to more than $300,000,000, without
including any of less than $10,000. Examined in detail the list is a long
one. The evident purpose is to benefit mankind in making it v a better
equipped for the duties of life, and to prevent and ameliorate human suf
fering. Educational institutions, hospitals and sanitary work received more
than half of the gifts of last year. ' Elevated arts was well remembered and
responsible charities received a generous share. -
Three hundred millions a year for philanthropy would be th'irty billions
in a century, a sum suggesting great possibilities. The.United States is grow
ing in population at the rate of 150,000,000 in a century and at a faster ratio
in wealth. Large American benefactions have more, than kept pace propor
tionately. An estimate of the future would seem extravagant and yet the
figures in sight bear it out. The smaller charity associations are close to the
people, and familiar with current needs. , Any liberal recognition of their
usefulness gives general pleasure; They are inspired to extend their in
valuable labors and made aware that they are observed and appreciated ; also
that they may always hope for a time when their financial basis will be secure.
io-
Probably those over veracious and profound press correspondents who
can resist telling us that the "waters of two oceans mingled," and that the
"Pacific rushed to embrace the Atlantic," and all that sort of thing, count
upon the ignorance and preconceived notions of the American people, to have
their imagery accepted. Yet every American ought to know, that if ever the
two oceans mingle waters it will have to be somewhere else than at Panama,
where vessels can pass from one to the other only through high locks supplied
with fresh water from lakes above the sea level.

THE LONELIEST PLACE IN THE
, WORLD.
"It's the loneliest place In the world,"
says a Canadian novelist, speaking of
ane of the stations of a, great fur
trading company up near the Great
Bear lake. "For six months you do
not see a human face or hear a human
roice. And he tells of the perils of
madness In the land of snow and ice.
with no companionship to cheer tbe
terrible hours of solitude.
The loneliest place in the world?
Perhaps. But there are many per
sons who will tell you that tbe lone
liest place is not where tbe soughing
of the winds In the great pines is the
only sound and where the only signs
of life are the tracks of animals in
the snow. -
They will say that the loneliest place
Is in the midst of great crowds of
persons.
Do you know the "feel"' of solitude
In a great city? Yon are. let us say, a
stranger, permanently in the city for
business reasons or temporarily so
journing there. The time comes when
the tie of business or pleasure is loos
ened and you are alone.
"Alone in a great city!" "It sounds
like the title of an old time melodrama,
but it Is the statement of a living,
ghastly fact
- You. are encompassed by walls of
humanity, which recede as you ap
proach them. You are afloat in a sea
of persons, but none of them touches
you. You see them pass and repass,
each with his interesting story of life
behind his serious or smiling face. But
you cannot read the tale. It Is for
his friends, his acquaintances, his kin,,
not for you, literally "a stranger in a
strange land." .
You must be chary of making ad
vances. The city views such with
suspicions born of painful experiences
with confidence men,' with sellers of
alluring goods that shall make the
buyer rich and the seller poor per
haps. -
Brother or sister city dweller:
Are you a home. occupier In the city?
Do you know the Joys of your own
fireside, the happiness of possessing
family and friends? '
From your store of content can you
not spare a little for the dweller with
in your gates? If there Is In your city
or town no association, no movement,
for extending the hand of cheer and
good fellowship to the man or woman
bravely trying to overcome the loneli
ness of a city, will you not form one?
If there Is one already within your
reach, will you not give to It a little
of your time and energy?
Remember Him who said:
"I was abungered and ye gave me
meat; I was thirsty and ye gave me
drink; I was a stranger and ye took
me in."

Since the srolf championship has been
wrested from England poor old John

powers as regards the Balkans consists

It has been estimated that 1.000,000
lead pencils are nsed up dally. If ev

self because she bus to marry a title,

A pearly shell was in my hand.
I stooped and wrote upon the sand
My name, the year, the day.
As onward from the spot I passed
One lingering look behind 1 cast
A wave came rolling high and fast
And washed my lines away.
AND so, methougbt, 'twill shortly
be
With every mark on earth from
me;
A wave of dark oblivion's sea
Will sweep across the place
-Where I hnve trpd the sandy shore
Of time an i been, to be no more.
Of me my day the name 1 bore.
To leave no track nor trace.
A ND yet with him who counts
the sands
And holds the waters in bis hands
I know a lasting record stands
Inscribed against my name.
Of all this mortal part has wrought
Of all this thinking soul has thought
And from these fleeting moments

For glory or for shame.
