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. As Guttenberg took blocks of wood and whittled them into an alphabet and made a printing press that flashed education across the con¬ tinent like a ray of light upon a new born world, McCormick took 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 the Industrial achievements of the whole world. TheRe twin messengers of modern civilization, born in the skies, stand today the most faithful and efficient public servants that ever toi; jd for the human race, 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. There is no study quite so interest¬ ing as progress; no sound so magic as the’roar of industry and no sight so inspiring as civilization in action. I A full realization of America’s part in the great events of the world past, present and future will thrill every human heart with pride, patriotism 1 and faith in Republican institutions. Through the courtesy of the Agri¬ cultural and Commercial Press Ser¬ vice, the readers of this paper will be permitted to study America; her ag¬ ricultural, manufacturing and min¬ eral development, mercantile, bank¬ ing and transportation systems which are the wonder of the world. The first articleVof the series will deal with “transportation and will appear at an early date. the accepted distance from the earth ! to the moon. \Ye had in 1911, the 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. The average yearly pay of all rail¬ road employes fn the principal coun¬ 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. A comparison of the economy, in timo and money and the convenience in travel, will be made in a later article. spiring company than the fellowship of the giant intellects that constructed this marvelous industry and a journey along the pathway of its development., illuminated at every mile-post of its progress by the lightning-flashes of brilliant minds, will be taken at a very early date. A brief statistical review of the In¬ dustry brings out its growth and mag¬ nitude In a most convincing and un forgetable manner. 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¬ cations over the telephone. The world has about 15,000,000 telephones and of this number the United States has ap¬ and proximately^,540,000, other countries 1,300,000 Europe 4,020,000 Accord¬ ing to the latest world telephone cen¬ sus, the total telephone investment is $1,9C6,000,000 and of this amount $1, 095.000. 000 was credited to the United States, $636.0*0,000 in Europe and $175,000,000 in other countries. The annual telephone convei Rations total 24.600.000. 000 divided as follows: Unit¬ ed States 15,600,000,000; Europe 2,2CO,OOo|- 6,800, 000,000, and other countries 0G0. The total v.urld wire telephone mileage is 33,262,000 miles divided as follows: United States 20,248,000, Eu ; rope 10,335,000, and other countries 2.679.000. About six per cent of the world’s population and sixty-one per cent of the telephone wire mile¬ age is in the United States, NOT FOR MEN ONLY Women suffer as much as men do from indigestion and constipa¬ tion and require the same scientific remedy to keep the stomach sweet, the liver active and the bowels reg¬ ular.

Olo Drug Go 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. >- HEAL IT WITH Buikian’s THE ON^Y GENUINE Arnica Sal?

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¬ change.
