"Know America" Is a slogan that
shosld ring out from every school
room, office, farm and shop in this na¬
tion. Ko man can aspire to a higher
honor than to become a capable citi
sen. and no one can merit so dis¬
tinguished a title until he is well in¬
formed of the resources, possibilities
and achievements of cur country.
This is a commercial age and civ¬
ilization is bearing its most golden
fruit in America. We are noted for
our industrial achievements as Egypt
was noted for her pyramids; Jerusa¬
lem for her religion; Greece for her
art; Phoenicia for her fleets; Chaldea
for her astronomy and Rome for her
laws. Likewise we have men who will
go down in the world’s history as pow¬
erful products of their age. For, stand¬
ing at the source of every gigantic
movement that sways civilization is a
great man. The greatest minds travel
in the greatest direction and the com¬
mercial geniuses of this age would
have been the sculptors, poets, phil¬
osophers, architects, and artists of
earlier civilizations.
As Michael Angelo took a rock and
with a chisel hewed it into the image
of an angel that ever beckons man¬
kind upward and onward, Hill took
the desert of the Northwest and with
bands of steel made It blossom like a
rose, dotted the valleys with happy
homes and built cities in waste places.

II—Railroads
In discussing the commercial
achievements of this great age, we
shall approach the subject as the
historian chronicling events. This se¬
ries will endeavor to record in writ¬
ing the supremacy of American men
and industries In the world’s affairs
and perptuate an appreciation of our
mamfious industrial achievements by
presenting simple fact3, figures and
cemparisons that are overpowering in
their convictions.
America holds her proud place
among the nations of the earth today
on account of her supremacy in trans¬
portation facilities. The mighty minds
of the age are engaged in the prob¬
lems of transportation, and the great¬
est men in the history of the w.orld’s
commerce are at the head of the
transportation systems of the United
States.
In the discussion ^of transportation,
let us consider separately our Rail¬
ways, Telegraph and Telephones, Ex¬
press, Public Highways, Steamships,
Street Railways, Intcrurban and other
forrfls of transportation, and this ar¬
ticle will deal with railways.
The United States has the largest
mileage, the beBt service, the cheap¬
est rates, pays labor the highest
wages, and we have the most efficient¬
ly managed of the railways of the
world. They stand as a monument to
the'native genius of our marvelous
builder*, and most of the railroads In
foreign countries have been built
under American orders.
The railroads represent a larger in¬
vestment of capital ’ than any other
branch of human activity. The mile¬
age in the United States exceeds
and
Our transportation facilities are the
most perfect product of this great com¬
mercial age and the telegraph and tel¬
ephone systems J of this nation crown

whole world. TheRe twin messengers
of modern civilization, born in the
skies, stand today the most faithful and
efficient public servants that ever

They are of American nativity and
while warm from the mind of the in¬
ventive genius have, under American
supervision, spun a net-work of wires
across the earth and under the seas.
Telegi ." hy, in its early youth, mas¬
tered the known world and the tele¬
phone has already conquered the
earth’s surface, and now stands at the
seashore ready to leap across the
ocean.
No industry in the history of the
world has ever made such rapid strides
in ’ development and usefulness, and
none has ever exerted a more powerful
influence upon the civilization of its
day than the Teleg raph and Telephone.
Their achievement demonstrates the
supremacy of two distinct types of
American genius—invention and organ¬
ization.
The industry was peculiarly fortun¬
ate in having powerful inventive intel¬
lect at its source and tremendous
minds to direct its organization and
gro- th. It is the most perfect fruit
of the tree of American industry and
when compared with its European con¬
temporaries, it thrills every patriotic
American with pride.

As Nelson organized the English navy
and made England mistress of the sea,
enabling the British Isles to plant her
flag upon every continent washed by
the ocean's waves, and to make foot¬
stools of the Islands of every water,
Morgan organized a banking system
that hos made America master of the
world’s finances, brought Kings to our
cashier’s windows, the nations of the
earth to our discount desks and placed
under the industries of this nation a
financial system as 6olid as the Rock
of Gibraltar.

so inspiring as civilization in action. I

last year in. which figures for all
countries are available, on the
earth’s surface, 689,981 miles of rail¬
way divided as follows: United States
241,199, Europe 207,432 and other
countries 191,360. The United Sta’tes
has 38 per cent of the world’s mileage,
seven per cent of the estimated pop¬
ulation and about five per cent of the
area. The total capital invested in the
railways of the world Is $50,000,000,
000, divided as follows: United States
$13,000,000,000 Europe $25,650,000,000
and other countries $11,350,000,000.
Reduced to a mileage basis the cap¬
italization is as follows: The world
$78,000, United States $54,000, Europe
$124,000, and other countries $69,000.
A comparison of rates is equally as
interesting and the United States
takes the lead, in economy and serv¬
ice. The average rate per ton per
hundred mile haul is as follows:
United States 76e, Great Britain $2.53,
France $1.44, Germany $1.44, Russia
92c, Austria-Hungary $1.30, Italy $2.30
and Switzerland $2.82.

tries is as follqws: United States
$767, Germany $392, Italy $345, Aus¬
tria $322, Great Britain $279, France
$260 and Russia $204.
About 30 per cent, or 188,000 miles,
of the railways of the world are
government owned. About half the
railway mileage of Europe is govern¬
ment owned.

timo and money and the convenience
in travel, will be made in a later

The telephone service of the United
States is the most popular and efficient
and its rates are the cheapest of the
telephone systems of the world.
We are the greatest talkers on earth.
We send 60 per cent of our communi¬

this number the United States has ap¬

WHY IS WOMAN
. RESTLESS? ^
- ^
DESTINY OF NATIONS DEPENDS
UPON CONTENTED HOMES.
f' By W. D. Lewis.
President TeifflU Farmers' Union. .
Why is woman dissatisfied T Whyr
does she grow restless under the
crown.of womanhood? Why is she
weary of the God-given jewel of moth¬
erhood? Is it not a sufficient political
achievement for, woman that future
rulers nurse at her breast, laugh in
her arms and kneel at her feet? Can
ambition leap to more glorious heights
than to sing lullabies to the world’s
greatest geuuises, chant melodies to
master minds and rock the cradle of
human destiny?
God pity our country when the hand¬
shake of the politician is more grati¬
fying to woman's heart than the pat
ter of children's feet.
Woman Is Ruler Over All
Why does woman chafe under re
Straint of sex? Why revile the hand
of nature? Why discard the skirts
that civilization has clung to since
the beginning of time? Why lay aside
this hallowed garment that has wiped
the tears of sorrow from the face of
childhood? In Its sacred embrace
every generation has hidden its face
in shame; clinging to Us motherly
folds, tottering children have learned
to play hide and seek and from it
youth learned to reverence and re¬
spect womanhood.* Can man think of
his mother without this consecrated
'garment?
( Why this inordinate thirst for^pow
ler? Is not woman all powerful? Man
cannot enter this world without her
'consent, he cannot remain in peace
without her blessing and unless she
sheds tears of regret over his depar
jture, he has lived In vain. Why this
ilonging'for civic power when God has
made her ruler over all? Why crave
authority when man bows down and
worships her? Man has glvemwoman
his heart, his name and hid^money.
What more does she want?
Can men find It In his heart to look
with pride upon the statement that his
honorable mother-in-law was one of
the meat powerful political bosses in
the country, that his distinguished
grandmother was one of the ablest
filibusters in the Cenate or that bis
mother was a noted warrior and her
name a terror to the enemy? Whither
are we drifting and where will jve
land? ^
God Save Us From a Hen-Pocked
J: Nation.
I follow tM) U )|o w for a living and
my views t-Aple them the smell
of the soil; irv turning white
under the frost winters and
perhaps I am a little old-fashioned,
but I bplieve there is more moral in¬
fluence in the dress of woman than in
all the statute 5-wks of the land. As
an agency for morality, I wouldn’t
give my geo-t old mother’s home¬
made gowns ror all the suffragette’s
constitutions and •ty-laws in the world.
As a power tor purifying society, I
wouldn’t give one prayer of my saintly
mother for all the women’s votes in
Christendom As an agency for good
government, 1 wouldn’t, give the plea
of a mothers heart for righteousness
for all the oaths of office in the land.
There is more power in the smile
of woman than in an act of congress.
There are greater possibilities for
good government in her family of
laughing children than in the cab¬
inet of the president of the United
States
The destiny of this nation lies in
the home and not in the legislative
halls. The hearthstone and the fam¬
ily Bible will ever remain the source
of our Inspiration and the Acts of the
Apostles will e--er shine brighter than
the acts of Congress.
This country is law-mad. Why add
to a statute book, already groaning
under its own weight, the L-sterical
cry of woman? If we never had a
chance to vote again in a lifetime and
did not pass another law in twenty
five years, we could survive the or¬
deal, but without home, civilization
would wither and die.
God save these United States
from becoming a hen-pecked nation;
help us keep sissies out of Congress
and forbid that women become step¬
fathers to government, is the prayer
of the farmers of this country.
A DIVINE COVENANT.
God Almighty gave Eve to Adam
with the pledge that'sjie would be his
helpmeet and with this order of com¬
panionship, civilization has towered
to its greatest heights, in this rela¬
tionship, God hae blessed woman and
man has honored her and after four
thousand years of progress, she now
propcses to provoke God to decoy
man by asking for suffrage, thereby
by amending an agreement to which
she was not a party
Woman, remember that the Israelite
scorned a divine covenant, and as a
result wandered forty years in the
wilderness without God. Likewise
man should remember that It is a
dangerous thing to debase woman by
law. Rome tried lowering woman’s
standard and an outraged civilization
tore the clothes off the backs of the
human race and turned them out to
roam in the world naked and un¬
ashamed. >-

"As low as has been the standard
of character of cotton used by thw
New York Exchange, I see by the pa¬
pers last Saturday that a big cotton
house, the biggest perhaps in the
United States, which is supposed to
be heavily short on the New York Ex¬
change, has bean endeavoring to force
the exchange to accept and certify a
large amount of additional very low
character ,cotton heretofore rejected
by the exchange. I do not believe tti»
officers of the cotton exchange will
dare to yield to this demand. If they
do the raw should be used to strike*
both the-^iotton house and the ex¬

that one small, ordinary dealer can
not carry the burden. It requires an
organization of manufacturers and cot'
