fornia for years under a charter
granted by the legislature of Ken
tucky, in which state the Southern
Paclflo did not have a rod of rail
way nor any other property. New
Jersey granted charters ad libitum
to corporations and trusts of all
kinds, to any one that had the price.
and under these charters they could
operate without let or hindrance
throughout the United States; and
later rotten little Delaware went Into
the charter-granting industry.
The Union Pacific in 1897 ob
tained a charter from the new state
of Utah giving it the right and
power to "acquire by lease, pur
chase, consolidation, ownershtD of
capital stock or otherwise, branches,
extensions and connecting or auxil
iary lines within or without this
state." It Is under this provision
that Harriman pleads his right to
obtain control of the Illinois Central
and other roads necessary to his
monopolistic purposes, although such
acquirement may be exceedingly
harmful to the stockholders and
patrons of these roads.
Manifestly, this is a wrong exer
else of power on the part of a state
legislature. And each state should
have the power to nullify and ren

One reason for Illiteracy in this
country is that we are receiving so
many immigrants from countries
where Illiteracy is prevalent Rus
sia. Austria-Hungary and Italy. An
other reason Is that we have not
made an elementary education really
compulsory, as some foreign coun
tries have. There the compulsory
education laws are rigidly enforced.
Here we try to teach children too
much, but are not sure enough to
compel all to learn the elements.
It Is not important to a nation that
ii very large proportion of its people
ehould hate an advanced education.
but It Is Important that all should
be elementarily educated.

SMALL'S SURRENDER,
R SMALL, the deposed pros!
dent of the telegraphers' na
tional union, says, he will not
try to retain bis place, but will
step down and out and will later
make a statement explaining his sur
render. He may have better rea
sons to offer than he has so far dls
closed, but if not, he will not con
vince anybody that he has displayed
the right qualities for a man in his
position.
His excuse for surrender is that
the officers of the telegraph com
panies refused to negotiate, so he
gave up. We don't say that it was
unwise to give up, but the telegraph
operators don't look at it that

HOUGH GOVERNMENT statis
tics on many subjects are not as
accurate as is generally as

go by, and so are taken as correct,
and thus we consider its figures on
the relative illiteracy of different
states. In the official meaning, an
illiterate person is one 10 years old

language. Reading Is not made a
test, for it Is presumed that If a per
son can write he can read, and
though he can read he is "illiterate"
if he cannot write.
ine proportion of illiterates Is
gradually decreasing. In 1870 there
were 200 Illiterates to every 1.000
of population; in 1880, 170; In 1890,
133; In 1900, 103; at this rate the
number is now probably only about
75 or 80. The latest official figures
we have to rely upon, however, are
those of 1900.
In that year the states showing the
least illiteracy were Iowa and Ne
braska, 23 per 1,000. Following

these came Kansas with 29, Utah and
Washington with 31

iow, nowever, comes tnat gos
sipy sheet of Madrid "La Corre
spondencia de Espana" and raises
the rather transparent veil, with
the statement that it has diplomatic
authority for Its declarations, which.
after due time, have not been de
nied by the government, while Lon
don papers announce emphatically
that the reunion of the sovereigns
resulted in important understanding
concerning the ends of peace and
war.
In the language of modern diplo
macy the title of "alliance" has
been avoided and the more reserved
name of "entente cordiale" .is given
to the agreement, which is declared
to be at bottom a real alliance and
the resulting documents will dem
onstrate that the interviews at Car
thagena have opened a- new era for
Spain under the tutelage of her
powerful neighbor and friend.
To the Press of Madrid, the agree

of the greatest Importance, since
the position of the kingdom is prom

Correspondencia the negotiations be

the defenses of Cadiz, Ceuta and Me-

navy, she would aid Spain in the

whether Judge Cameron had de

north end resort conducted by Fritz.
The court record first showed that
the decision was In favor of the dive-
keeper, but 24 hours later the rec
ord was changed by judicious inter
lineation so as to exactly reverse its
effect. There are two explanations
of the change one that Clerk Hen
nessy made the original entry in ad
vance of the decision and on the
justifiable assumption that the
learned magistrate would follow his
usual custom in such cases and al
low the offender to go fee; the
other, that Judge Cameron himself
took a new view of the case after
learning how it was regarded by the
reea.

Ever ready to command;
If you cannot toward the needy
Reach an ever-open hand
You can visit the afflicted,"
O'er the erring you can weep;
You can be a true disciple
Sitting at the Savior's feet.
If you cannot In the harvest
Garner up the richest sheaf.
Many a grain both ripe and golden
Will the careless reapers leave;
Go and glean among the briers.
Growing rank against the wall.
For it may be that the shadow
Hides the heaviest wheat of nil.
