WILL STAY IN HARNESS Feeble In Body, but Active In Mind, He Will Xot Rust Out Con demns Hasty Judgment of Public Men. CHICAGO. Sept. 25. (SpcclaU-i'Phllos- ophy, my boy," said Senator Thomas C. Piatt, of New York; today, as his special car. Courier, rolled out of Joliet for Chi cago "is the cure-all of every evil life has. When discontented with any situa tion, philosophize, think it over, be Judi cial with yourself. "You can't have any too close commun ion with yourself at any time. Vhen you arc able to talk to yourself freely, and to analyze things, you are a true philoso pher. Contentment and happiness will then be yours. I'm a philosopher." Mr. Piatt arrived in Chicago from Kan sas City and left this afternoon for New York. He thon will have completed a Western Journey of more than 11.0CO miles, in which he looked over every property in wtolch he and his associates are inter ested. Will Xot Rust Out. Mr. Piatt's body ifeeblc. His invalid chair is at his command in bin private car, but his mind is extremoly active and his eyes bright and clear. He was willing to talk on some subjects, and Mrs. Piatt listened Intently to every word-he uttered. Jn response to a query as to his health, he said: "I am on my way back to New York, to be Just as active in the affairs of that state as I evor have been. You had an editor in Chicago who once said.' I believe, that he never intended to rust out. He was right. I don't intend to rust out. I mean to be active to the last minute of my life, and I rather think that I have a number of minutes left. "My mind never felt better, and I am returning to my duties. in New York glad that I have seen a great vision of this wonderful West and that I know more about the United States "than I ever did before. My habit of philosophizing has enabled joe to as-rstlatc th& knowl edge I have gained and I recommend philosophy to you. Don't Talk Back; Philosophize. "The newspapers sting a public man. Some of the things -they print are true; many never should be published. How are you going to face it. since you can not successfully reply? Philosophize. You hold public office and your , motives are impugned, although you may have tried to be honest with every Interest Involved. My advice is not to talk back, but to philosophize. Reason it out with yourself and, when you are satisfied that you have done ail you can. done all that Is fair to all, be content that is the secret of con tented living that I have learned through a long life." S "You do not mean. then, to quit your active Interest in New York politics?" was asked. "I have no reason to," replied the Sen ator. "New York Republicans were never better united than at the present time and, as I have said, I do not mean to get rusty. I shall be in the harness until my work is ended." Too Prone lo Bellpve It. The Senator's attention was called to the revelations in connection with the New York Insurance companies, bat he was guarded in his comment. "We are too prone to believe III of any one or of any enterprise. If anyone sets afloat a suspicion." he said. "That is something, as Americans, we have got to correct in our natures. I don't believe In shielding wrong, but at the same time too much slander Is now afloat in regard to many legitimate enterprises to be good for the whole country. I believe in care ful deliberation before I form a Judgment, and that Judgment is not going to be formed on gossip. "The general financial prosperity of the country never was better. Through the parts of the West I have covered I found people not only making money, but satis fled with the Government. Few Instances of dissatisfaction reached my ears. Public Judgment Too Hasty. "If you arc going to publish anything of what I have said to you," continued the Senator, after a pause, "make this plain: That the whole American people need to be more calm in forming their Judgments. They have been too hasty in the past. While bad men may have got Into public life, as they do in private life, every public man is not a bad man. and 1 believe most of them are striving to be Just to the public as well as to the other Interests they may represent. "My wife and myself have received de lightful courtesies on all of this trip, and I have been glad to meet and know more .than I ever did before of your great West. You are building a remarkable empire west of( the Missouri, an empire in which very financier and corporation of the East is now virtually interested. The character of your people Is splendid."

President Weed, of the Weed Lumber Company, who negotiated the rail road project, also secured the franchise for an electric railroad for the town of Klamath Falls, to be completed and in operation within one year after comple tion of the railroad p that point. These Inducements are believed to be Incentives, as guaranteeing In the bonus interest on the cost of construction during the first period of stress that new roads sometimes have difficuly In surviving, while the heavy traffic of material and supplies that must be taken into the country give as- aurance of earnings for this or any other .road that will soon connect Klamath Val ley with the outside world. From Weed to Klamath Falls the distance Is 90 miles, 70 in California and 20 In Oregon, so that the California Northeastern has about 70 mlles of track to build, a portion of which is expensive.

Pokegama, - the present terminus, is in the edge of the timber belt, and from that point "to Klamath Falls no diffi cult construction is presented' and the expenditure of perhaps $500,000 would complete a line that might reasonably be expepted to repay the sum In hand some dividends.
