In fact, if there was a principal part to be taken in conversation and Grace didn’t take it the failure was merely because she wasn't anywhere around. From the time she was an infant and took the part of .Cinderella, while all the other children were mere fairies, to the time she led the grand march with the most sought young man and was leading lady in the class play, Grace had never known from a near view what the background looked like. So when she came back from her va- cation and began to fulfill her social duties her friends sat back in amaze- ment for something had assuredly hap- “Don’t you think—"" began Bessle, glancing around in a general sort of way until her gaze fell on Grace’s rapt countenance turned full upon her, Then the carefuly thought out sentence fled from her mind and she stopped.

The dissolution of the Union Pa- cific merger with the Southern Pacific in accordance with the directions of the United States Supreme court does not appear as though it was going to be 'a great hardship upon the control- ling road. The court in its order is parently not going to harm anyone very oxtensively, though the restora- tion of competing lines will be in the interest of the shippers. The decision seems to give what Mr. Harriman sought when he was forced into the merging of the two roads to gain his point. It was important to the Union Pa- cific’'s development that it should get the Central Pacific line from Ogden to San Francisco. Otherwise it was de- barred from business at that point on the Pacific to which it was necessary to go in order to tap another of the ports of entry, get the business in both directions and become a competing line. The Southern Pacific held the key to the situation and it was im- possible to buy that needed line with- out taking the entire Southern Pacific which was done. By the decision of dissolution and the opinfon that the Union Pacific should have the line from Ogden to San Francisco the desire of years ago is granted. The outcome shows a pe- culiar condition in the fact that it became necessary to form an illegal combination in violation of the Sher- man anti-trust law, In order to accom- plish a legal transaction which could be put through in no other way. The circumvention of stubborm business transactions i{s thus accomplished by the peculiarities of law. THE BOOK SWINDLERS. No greater or more general dis- closure of the operations of swindlers has been made in recent years than that of the edition de luxe book selling gang which has taken probably fif- teen million from the funds of many in fairly comfortable circumstances but who in most cases depended upon the income therefrom. The operators re- lted upon the gullibility of the people with whom they dealt in gathering in their coin, but the worst feature of their swindle was the use of blackmail to draw out the exorbitant prices se- cured. The government is “making headway in running down the swin- dlers but it would seem that with all the many gold brick schemes put into operation, the time would come when such get rich quick ideas and big re- turns upon investments would be scouted by the public. While the swindlers have been get- ting outrageous prices by misrepre- senting the books and threatening the people, a great share of the blame must rest upon the confiding buyers. Buy- ing valuable books or antiques of any kind without actual knowledge of their genuineness or worth is ticklish bus- iness, in which good advice should be sought. When it came to blackmalil it should have been the best indica- tion that the deal was a crooked one and it should have been promptly checked by exposure. Publicity could have blocked the game at an early stage as effectively as it has finally accomplished it after so many have dbeen fleeced. The lesson of experience needs daily review. ELECTRICITY ON RAILROADS, Electrification of steam roads is a vet it is being car- g extent by the many large railroads which are equip- ping their Main lines with this motive power in preference to steam. This means of course the erection of power plants and in not a few instances wa- ter instead of steam is there being used to generatc the electricity. The New Haven system is gradually ex- tending its use on its main system and it will be but a short time before it will be operating the entire line be- tween New York and New Haven. Be- tween Philadelphia and Washington the Penneyivania system is planning to operate its line by the invisible power while other lines in and about Balti- more will be likewise operated within a period of a half dozen years and for which the Susquehanna river will be harnessed. The Denver and Rio Grande is to spend 25 milllon dollars in changing over from steam to electricity in the next two years. These simply show that the start is but being made in « way of electrification and in mak- ng water power do the work instead of coal the value of it is realized throughout the country whether it be the east where coal is cheaper or on the Pacific slope.

Now, place our shoe machinery in the hands of the Chinese and Japanese, .remove the tariff on shoes, and it is not a problem as to what would happen to the men em- ployed in our shoe factories. Let us admit such a result would reduce the prices of shoes, but what would be- come of our shoemakers? “Our $3 a day man is not afraid of a $3 a day Mexican, or European, but he is afraid of a 50 cents a day labor er, whether he is in Mexico or Europe.” I see by Washington reports that the solid democratic delegation of Louis ana and Mississippi, both senators and congressmen, will stand firm against the sugar tariff reductions, and can easily see where they are right, for a | reduction in line with the Underwood | bill would place American cane st producers in competition with Kanaka that, but the hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in the beet sugar fields | of the north and middle west, where | wages are very high, would have to meet the same competition, with only one result—a wholesale slaughter of wages.
