To the Average Young Man A jury of twelve men was le i n jr selected. To each of these men counsel for tlie defendant put this question: "If you were defendant, would you he willing to have your ease tried bof ore twelve men who felt toward you as you feel toward the defend ant in this ease?" Thes are questions pregnant with thought. Another jury was receiving its charge, after having listened to a murder tri il. They were charged like this: "Place your self as nearly as you can in the position of the defendant at the time of the alleged crime was committed. Im agine yourself environed as he was environed. Feel as he felt. And thus try and determ ine if he were acting as a reason able being should act, and if in deed he were acting in self de fense." There was another situation that is very suggestive. Two business men were con versing. One had told the other of a bargain that he was about to close with a third individual. He was asking advice. His friend replied: "Put yourself in the other fellow's place. Know ing what you do about this mat ter, would you be willing to make this bargain if you were he." Here is still another striking incident. All of which goes to show that in law, as in business, and in deed in all the affairs of life, when men stop to think about the "squre deal" they cannot improve in any way on the gold en rule that Christ laid down, to the effect that we should do unto others as we would that they should do unto us. That is a splendid rule. Its general acceptance would re model the world along new lines. Its individual acceptance by you will remodel you along new lines. It may not make you rich, but it will make you hu mane, honest and just. A young man can not do better than to give this proposition serious thought in all his deal ings with both men and women. Place yourself in imagination in their . position. Judge as you would be judged. Take no ad vantage that you would not be willing to give. Bring nothing into their lives, or upon them, that you would n'ot be willing to have come into your life under similar conditions. Ask nothing that you would not give. Give nothing that you would not wish to receive. Such a rule will make you more considerate and just. You will ask less of others. You will give more to others. But you will not be the worse for that. For there is "that which hoards itself poor," and there is "that which gives itself rich." Au tumn Leaves. Just a Little Optimistic After a decade of hard work by Senator I.aFollette, of Wis consin, and other independent republicans, congress has at last passed the law which will allow the government to tix the physi cal value of all transportation lines. This is a long step in the direction of ending the tight be tween common carriers and the general public. Great corpora tions which have built our rail ways are fully entitled to a good return on actual money expend ed and no thinking man objects to such recompense. They are not, however, entitled to returns on watered stock, and what is true of railways is true of every public utility. Slowly but surely ithe government is usurping power over great corporations, and the general public is gain , ing thereby. It has been a long I struggle for the people to learn that public utilities are for their use and convenience and are not to be exploited for the benefit of corporations. The day of great fortunes amassed by corpora tions exacting undue tribute from the people is past. It was a long time coming but we thank God that it has arrived. The Ranch. Blue Eyed Men Statistics compiled by some one in Kansas City tend to cast reproach on blue eyed men. The figures show that !." per cent of the men who desert their wives in Kansas City are blue eyed. The Bertillion measurements taken show that ( per cent of the Kansas City murderers have been blue eyed men. Fifty four per cent of the pickpockets and 50 per cent of the burglars have blue eyes in that city. How ever, it is but fair to say that the expert who has been investi gating the matter does not at tribute all this depravity to the azure orbs of the criminals. He figures that blue eyes are in the majority in Kansas City and that the inhabitants are for the most part descendants of the races of northern Europe. He declares that should an investi gation be made at Rome it would reveal dark eyed men as the national defenders. East Ore gonian. Rumor coupled with Porfirio Diaz suggests his possible return to Mexico, but he will probably think twice before returning to Mexican soil, as deposed ex presidents are not looked upon so favorably in that country as i it are defunct ones. European soil is possibly more healthy for him than that of Mexico. It would seem that conditions are becoming somewhat twisted. In Mexico and other countries, civilized and uncivilized, the male population take the lead in insurrections, but in Eng gland, the female blooms in to prominence as a rioter.
