THE RAILROAD AND POLITICS.
When Tho Moultrie Olmorver naya:
*'A good way for the railroads to
keep their affaire nut of polities Is
1o trv to keep their attorneys and of
ficials out vii politics," It makes a
hit—a popular hit. Do the railroads
want to keep out of polities?
The loud cry that the railroads nre
being nagged, halted arid teased by
tile politicians is all nonsense.
No matter hoK<* willingly a poll
tlrian may Incline toward agitating
It li not easy to create antagonism
without cause. If there Is Indignation
in the hearts of the people against
the railroads it cannot lie laid at the
dttor of tho demagogues so much as
at the door of the railroads them
solves
There is no inherent antagonism
between lUo people ami the railroads
as those who arv champions of the
mads assume Everybody knows
that a good railroad Is the greatest
po slide benefit,to any section and
any locality. So w*dl has thla boon
understood In the ] ast that every
IKissthie persuasion and concession
has been extended the mads They
have been, and are now, literally
courted by communities and loenll
t'er for this reason It was not until
'he people av»k" to a realization that
the railroad- were reaching out to dl
dect legislation and domlnotn govern
ment that the spirit of caution and
suspicion w«s born The demuKoguon
end politicians did tint create this
spirit The railroads created It and
the d magoguen have put It to their
own use. jnst ss they make uae of
cm i public realisation and every
public sentiment, so far as they are
able to do so.
If the railroads want to see this
feciii g forgotten, let them keep shy
of the legislative halls and let them
withdraw from the field of politics.
They need not fear that the people
will harm them. Their prosperity
nnd the extension oT their lives Is too
i Itallv necessary to the growth and
devekiptnent for the country for that,
tun the trouble seems to he that the
roads want more than justice. They
want favor and privilege which the
people do not longer wish to accord
them.
SOBRIETY AT VERA CRUZ.
When the Secretary of the Navy
gave the order that the w-lne mess
should sktddoo from the Navy, there
was a cry of great Indignation at this
effort to curb nnd Infringe upon the
personal rtsht of every officer to be
fuddle Ids brain and stimulate his
Imagination as he choee.
But when It was reported that the
United Slates Marines had deported
themselves with the strictest sobriety
and that not a single ease of drunk
enness had tieen reported or known tn
the occupation of Vera Crus, there
wae a general expression of pride and
gratification a limns American cltl
sens.
M e know of nothing more to the
credit of the United Slates Navy than
tlie gentlemanly restraint which has
•men evidenced in the behavior of the
Marines In Mexico. It ta one thing
to right bravely and another thing
yet .to do credit to one's country, when
there Is no call except that of pru
dence and circumspection and all hats
should go off before these men who
honor their country tn laith way a
We could not look for a continua
tion of this fine standard of conduct,
unless the officers, aa well as the men
hold It up Perhaps tt may aeein a
little |>aternal In this government to
dictate to Its Navy officers In the mat
ter of what they shall drink, but when
we realise that there Is scarcely a
successful business corporation In the
country that does not make this re
quirement for the sake of efficiency,
we must admit that the Oovermoent
Is right tn demanding that th»a« who
are entrusted with such great respon
sibilities shall avolo *»•# the kiiili
laiae of folly.

THE WAYS OF THRIFT
Copyrlghtd 1914, American Society For Thrift.
VITALIZING BCHOOL BAVING,
Down In Roston, Mass., there Is a school principal, Kenilrn Wins
low, who, having found that saving among pupils In his gchool (as else
where) needs vitalising, tried a new plan. He realized that his school
like most schools and colleges and universities fall to tearh the rudiments
of thrift. So he called on the Amerilean Society for Thrift for one hundred
Thrift buttons, little white buttons with a portrait of Benjamin Franklin.
Then he proposed a plan for organising a "Stearns District" branch of
*be American Society for Thrift. Any pupil above the sixth grade Is eli
gible for membership and a button, who lias saved at least two dollars,
an shown by his bunk account, or by equally good proof, which Includes
children who are earning and helping to support the family; who have an
Mi per cent mark or over In effort and deportment, and who are testified
for by their teachers as pot being wasteful of the school material or tlmo
In school.
When another school principal at Dowell, Mass., received some
Thrift buttons many school savings books which hud not been seen for
months made their appearance. The savings of tho week trebled other
towns and cities are trying the same plan. Children can be Interested In
true thrift, but saving pennies Is not likely to gain much headway unless
the getting of pennies end the results of saving are made Interesting.
The "farm” Is what tlin school children of the Hrynnt School in
Chicago call a vacant lot tn tho heart of the city, which has been loaned
by tho owners to the agricultural classes. The city forester gave the pro
ject a little boost hv having the “farm" plowed, and 60 or 70 children were
alloted Individual plots of ground, and 60 or 70 separate crops of corn,
beds, radishes, tomatoes and lettuce were raised.
This year these hoys had tomatoes started under glass In the school
yard In March and us the leaves untold the picture of the printing outfit
which the hoys am going to buy with the proceeds from the sale of young
plants, grows more real. The hoys have long been wanting this outfit,
and lo what ends of thrift It will lead no one ran tell.
“Honest Joe's 9 ' Philosophy
When Pastorlsa stepped from the
police-rt bench yesterday he forgot
taxation for awhile and put down tn
writing what he thinks of the modern
Idea of justice.
I'antorlxa got hts Idea of justice from
a different plane than the man-made
law that enused the arrest of those
poor wretches. And this Is what ho
says:
”1 found while acting as police Judge
that many men were arrested because
they were so unfortunate as to be out
of work They were not guilty of any
wrong doing; they were not Interfer
ing with the liberty of anybody else;
they were not trying to steal from
anyone; they were not trying to de
stroy property; they were simply Idle
and nothing else, yet they were ar
rested upon a charge of vagrancy and
the time of the court was taken up in
listening to the evidence tn the case.
"I can remember when I was a
young man tn this same city that t
was out of work for three months; I
was really a vagrant In the meaning
of the law and If 1 had been arrested
during that time and placed tn the city
jalt, no doubt the experience would
have so embittered me against law
and Justice that I might now be-a very
different man from what I am. So
let's not arrest men simply because
they are out of work, but rather let us
devote our thoughts to devising ways
and means for giving work to the unu

"Again 1 find many men arrested
because they were drunk All of the
arrests for drunks were poor men out
of Jobs. I was In a hotel lobby one
night and saw %n Influential citizen
of the rlty drunk and staggering
through the lobby. A policeman saw*
him; a friend of the man took him by
the arm, led hint out of the hotel nnd
put him tn a cab and sent him home.
I say. that when a policeman sees an
unfortunate man drunk. If lie Is not
dlaturhlng the peore, lie should first
use every effort to gel that man home,
even to the extent of ordering the pa
trol wagon to get him home. Instead
of to the city Jail, and thua save the
man from the stigma of lying Inthe
city Jail over night.
" ‘Man's Inhumanity to man makes
countless thousands mourn.' We who
have plenty, we who have the 'eurth
and the fullness thereof,’ cannot con
ceive of the thought that possesses a
man who has not a five-cent piece to
buy a crust of bread or provide him
self with a night's lodging. So let us
remember that we can reduce the
number of criminals by providing
work for the workless and It Is as
much the duty of a city to devise ways
and means to provide work for the
workless ns tt Is to provide finely
paved streets for the automobiles and
vehicles of the more fortunate tn our
midst.”
KEY WEST CIGAR.
Professor Van Dnisn was vainly
trying to unlatch his front door with
a cigar, to the amusement of a friend
who had accompanied him home lo
talk over the fourth dimension.

when he could talk without betraying
his amusement, "do you \no» what
you're trv Ing *o open that d 'or

The professor looked, then pave a
start of dismay.
"tlracloue!" he blurted out. "I
must have smoked my latch key!”—
