LA The present restless discon- tent Is a blessed sign of the clos- Ing of an old dispensation and the opening of a new and bright era. The present restlessness and discontent will in a little while be spiritualized and har- monlzed, and out of it all will come a progress, a prosperity and a civilization that the most optimistic have only faintly hlnt- ed at. Be patient! In a little while the goldn sun of a golden day will be In the zenith. God if God! Hp is always in His universe, and makes no mls- takes. Victor Hugo. OWNERSHIP VS. REGULATION. In the last issue of the Commoner William J. Bryan discusses the rela tion of regulation of railroads to pro posed government and state owner ship of the came, and In the same article handles the stock objection to ownership "any administration could entrench itself forever In power under government ownership." Mr. Bryan says: A number of things have contrib uted to convince me of the impossi bility of the effectiveness of regula tion ns applied to railroads, the main thing being the corruption which the rnilroos have brought into politics. In my own state we tried, some la years ago, to obtain a reduction in railroad rates. After a hard struggle the bll! was passed through the legis lature, but the governor vetoed It. At the same session the railroads bribed one of the members of the legislature, and as he did not dare to remain in the rtate and betray his constituents, the railroads took him on a specia) engine to the state line and he has never returned to Nebraska since. At the next cession the bill passed In spite of the efforts of the railroads, and this time was signed by the gov ernor, but the railroads Immediately enjoined the enforcement of the law and we are still waiting for a reduc tion of freight rates although the rail roads are able to pay dividends on a large amount of watered stock and ficticious capitalization. 1 need only repeat that government ownership Is proposed not as an Im mediate remedy, but as the ultimate remedy. If democratic friends de clare that they prefer private owner ship to public ownership, I answer tht I would prefer private ownership If I believed It possible to regulate the roads !n a manner satisfactory to the public. It Is because I have lost faith In regulation that I have sug gested ownership. If further experi ence with regulation satisfies the peo ple they will not be called upon to consider the question of public own ership in the hope of securing effic ient regulation. I can be patient with those who still hope and can wait for events to convince them as events have convinced me. No one will deny that the trend of events Is toward government owner ship. Ten years ago when I was de nounced as too radical, I neither ad vocated government ownership nor suggested thb possibility of It I was still hoping for regulation. Since that time the president himself has held out the possibility of government ownership as a threat to compel the railroad to consent to regulation. I was only about six months ahead of the president In suggesting govern ment ownership as a remedy, the dif ference between his position and mine being, he regards government owner ship as fraught with dnnger and still hopes that successful regulation may make government ownership unneces sary. I go a step farther nnd express it as my opinion that experience has al-eady proved the futility of regula tion and propc-so a plan which elim inates the greatest evil of government ownership the centralization of so ' much power In the hands of the feder ! al government. Without this alterna i tlve of government Ownership It would be entirely Impossible to drive the railroads out of polities. Even with this threat I am very much afraid that we shall not he able to keep the rail road representatives away from con gress and the state legislatures. There Is lust one other objection to which I wish to refer, namely that under government ownership an ad ministration could keep Itself In pow er. Under the dual system proposed only the trunk lines would be under the control of the federal government, and their employes would be few compared with the entire number of railroad employes In the country. As the various states would own the local lines within theli borders ,the influ ence of one state would counteract the Influence of another state. Then too, under a proper civil service the Interference of the railroad employes in politics would he reduced to a min imum. Some 12 years ago I propos ed a change in the civil service law which would give o each party Its proportionate representation In the civil service. This plan would pre serve the merit system In the appoint ments but would give each party its share of the offices, and the employes would counteract each other's Influ ence. I might add that having passed through two campaigns, I have been able to furm an opinion of the civil service employes as compared with the railroad employes. The president was against me in both my campaigns. In the first a democratic president was using his influence In behalf of the republican candidate, and In the second election the republican candi date was at the head of all the de partments of the government. In both campaigns the civil service em ployes gave me less trouble man the railroad employes, who were coerced by their employers Into the support of the republican ticket, and I say withcut hesitation that I would rather risk the Influence which a president can bring to bear upon civil service employes than to risk the influence which railroad owners can bring to bear upon railroad emlpoyes. SAXD CASTLES. Dolly, dear, you recollect. How with childish hand, We, fair castles, would erect On the level strand? You, in saucy pinafore, I, with urchin spade, Wondrous castles, those of yore. By some wave low laid. Back that was, full twenty years (Pardon, if you will), But you're partial, It appears, To the pastime still. True, no longer have you me. Dolly, for your mate, But you have a vis a vis Whom you higher rate. For I note you sitting there By the pleasant tide. Charlie Rocks, or Lord de Where, Lolling at your side; And your costume Is as short As I ever knew; And you're faithful to the sport Quite the summer through. Dear, I do not recollect, Ih those days of old. Tou were such an architect As I now behold; Castles Tankee, English, French, Plan you; gilded, tall! Sure, misfortune cannot drench. Shall not drench them all. Edwin L. Sabln, In the Bohemian. BUILDING SINKS INTO THE SAND. One of the oddest sights just now In the old world Is a sinking; building mmedlately outside of the gates of Tunis, Africa. The Tunisian architects blundered In not following the Scriptural In Junction of building their house on the rocks or at least on a more solid foundation than sand. It is a grain elevator with offices on the first floor, and was regarded as a monumental structure In a city where five-story buildings are a rar ity. For a year or more everything went well, but recently the building began to slnjc, gradually, into the sand until It assumed the position it now holds. All the contents have been removed and the building has been declared unsafe for business. French engineers say. they can save the structure. They will wait until It COME ON IN And see our fins assortment of Foot Ball Goods and outdoor games of all kinds. We carry the famous Spalding line of Athletic Goods, every piece guaran teed. F R A Z 1 E R S BOOK STORE has sunk a little further Into the sand on one side and then they will dig away the sand from under the other side, when an attempt will be made to drag It into its normal posi tion. There are some who regard this as a hazardous undertaking that might prove fatal to some of the workmen employed on the Job. YICTOlt lll'GO MUSEUM. The house In which Victor Hugo lived during the most Important part of his life, from 1832 to 184S, and in which he wrote the most popular of his literary works, has recently been fitted up for a museum and now con tains a fascinating collection of per sonal relics nnd mementoes of that remarkable man. It Is situated in the riace des Vos ges. a historical square In a forgotten part of Paris. Six or seven hundred years ago It was the center of the fashionable quarter and was sur rounded by the palaces of the Hen rys. The square Itself was used for several centuries as a Jousting ground for knights. King Henry II was accidentally killed there In a tournament. The palaces were demolished by Catherine de Medici and King Henry IV, who had a frugal disposition, replaced them with lofty dwelling houses which he rented to members of the court. They are fine types of fifteenth century dwellings, surrounding a square about the size of an ordinary city block. The ground floor Is protected by a series of colonnades or arcades like those of the Palais Royal, which be longed to a subsequent generation. At one time they were considered the most desirable residences In the city. In 1639 Cardinal Richelieu erected in the center of the square a bronze equestrian statue of Louis XIII, which was destroyed by the mob In 1792 and replaced by Louis Phillipe In 1S21. William E.

The Island of Guam, a possession of the United States in mid-Pacific, is the subject of a letter from Agama the capital, to the Charlotte, N. C, Chronicle. Guam has an area of 200 square miles on which are 9000 peo ple, fctatistlcs give 18 schools on the Island and state that nine-tenths of the Islanders can read and write. Yet the letter says that the people will not work. The shipments of mer chandise from the States to Guam amounted In value to $101,900 In 1904, and only $610 In 1905. The writer states that the only farming Implement used In Guam Is a hoe used like the scuffling hoe in the Elates, plows being unknown. Guam is said to be thickly wooded, well watered nnd fertile, producing trop ical frilts abundantly. There Is also a good harbor. The article conclud that "If the American people wish to help Guam they can do It quickly and efficiently by teaching the peo ple improved agriculture. If the pa-. ricultural possibilities of Guam were developed, the people would not have to depend on Japanese traders for tneir sustenance. ' CONSTITUENTS OF A MAX. German scientists announce that the material for a man weighing 150 pounds can be found In the white and yolks of 1200 hens' eggs. Reduced to a fluid, the average man would yield 98 cubic meters of Illuminating gas and hydrogen enough to fill a balloon capable of lining 156 pounds. The normal human body has In It the iron needed to make seven large nalU, the fat for 14 pounds of candles, the carbon for 64 gross of crayons and phosphorous enough for 820,000 matches. Out of It can be obtained, besides, 20 coffeespoons of salt, 50 lumps of sugar, and 42 liters of water, A BUSY WOMAN. Many years ngo a visitor to the home of the Hltthome of the Hltt family at Mount Morris, III., found Mrs. Hltt quite busy. She was hold ing a child In her lap, she was rock ing the baby In the cradle, she was knitting, and she was reading a news paper folded over the back of a chair, The visitor remarked that the sons of such a woman ought to have a good record. The late Robert R. Hltt, the congressman from Illinois, was one of the boys. HendrlckBen and Thornton, both 15-year convicts, en route to McNeil's Island penitentiary from Alaska, es caped from a stateroom In the steamer Nation City. They sawed a hole through the roof of the state room. These are the men who broke Jail at Fairbanks on January 31, Twenty-eight thousand carloads of citrus fruits were shipped out of Cal ifornia this year, valued at $30,000, 000. Of this valuation tho transpor tation companies received one-third. ICATARRH OF HEAD THROA" BLADDER LUNGS FEMALE STOMACH, ORGANS nunua Uh PHAISE. V Mr. J, II.
