Asking Too Much.
I believe there- a story told of
Mark Twain that In youthful days,
being sent out by his mother to
weed a certain flower bed. and find
ing more weeds than flowers, he
fame back In and asked It he might
not "flower the weed bed."
Our little Alfred probably has as
great an aversion to work as had
the youthful demons. Admonished
to pull iom rather large weeds
In the back yard, after a faintheart
ed lift on one of them, he shouted:
"Mamma, how do you think I'm
going to pull these weeda when the
whole world Is hitched onto them?"

STARTING RIGHT.
People in general, and even those
who transact considerable business
with ral'.roal companies, are unfanill
lar with the economics of railroad
lug. Those who make a pretence
of knowing something quote tonnage
statistics, rate per ton per mile, to
tal and net receipts, amount of water
In the total iu3e of stock, etc., etc
All that Is meaningless unless the de
tails are given with an understanding
of them that ii seldom or neve:
found except among railroad men
themselves. Fact of the matter Is
work-aday railroad economics are a
sealed book to outsiders "It's all
Choctaw."
What woald farmers think of men
who know nothing of practical farm
ing fixing a maximum price for
which they could sell their products,
that price being based on cost of
seed, cont of labor and 6 per cent on
original Investment and all estlraat
3d in a good crap year, taking no
heed of short crop terms, or the hun
dred and one incUontal cost items
arising from chance or weather,, accl
dents or peits? There would be re
bolllon, pretty quick.
A li'.t'e thought on this line will
make anyone see there are two sides
to the rite regulation problem
News Rucord readers are aware that
this paper has never been an advo
cate of regulation for two reasons
first, It has always been a failure
for 18 years, didn't regulate anything
but ths salaries of the regulators;
ana second, because the rates fixed
are admittedly guesswork.
o, at air. Cotton of the O. R. &
N. said in his talk at the Enterprise
Banquet Thursday night, there is
need of a better understanding be
tween the people and the railroads in
order that both sides get a fair deal
or tne alternative is government
ownership. And between the two
guesswork regulation by prejudiced
commissions and government owner
ship. Mr. Cottoa said the railroad
men themselves would take the lead
in favor of the latter. Mr. Harriman
said, l:i substance, the same thing In
speech at Kansas City, a couple
of years ago.
If people don't want are not ready
for government ownership. In ths
name of fairness they should strive
for a better understanding of the rate
regulation problem. There Is no bet
ter way to do this than by personal
acquaintance between railroad men
and the people who use the railways.
such a was promoted by the ban
quet In this city.
The people of this county and the
O. R. & N., in their mutual dealings
are starting rlghl.
If the O. R. & N. officials think
half as well of thli city and county,
an their hosts do of the guests, a big
start In a muUrtl almiratlon society
was inatio at the banquet Thursday
night.
To Extract a Splinter.
When a splinter has been driven
deep Into the hand. It ran be ex
tracted without pain by steam.
Nearly flu a wide-mouthed bottle
with hot water, place the In lured
part over the mouth of the bottle,
and prei3 tightly. The suction will
draw ths flesh down, and In a min
ute or two the steam will extricate
the splinter and the inflammation
will disappear. November Woman's
