"HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S MAILBRAIN, UNAWAKED BY INFLEUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN" ESTABLISHED 1882 RAILROAD SITUATION IS NOW LARGELY UP TO CONGRESS Must Share Responsibility In Future Development. ROBERT S. LOVETT'S VIEWS "Unification of Regulation is essential." A Complete, Harmonious, Consistent and Related System Needed—Federal Incorporation of Political by General Law Favored. Washington, March 26.—Responsibility for the railway development of the country, for providing necessary transportation facilities to care for the growing business and population of the country, now rests largely with congress and not entirely with the railroad managers. This was the statement of Judge Robert S. Lovett, chairman of the executive committee of the Union Pacific system, to the Newlands joint congressional committee when that body restrained its inquiry into the suspect of railroad regulation this week. In making this statement of the changed conditions of the railroad situation Judge Lovett undoubtedly had in mind the decision of the supreme court on the Adamson law, handed down last week, which establishes the right of the federal government to fix railroad wages and to prevent strikes. This decision is regarded by railroad men and lawyers as marking an epoch in the development of transportation in the United States. "We have our share of responsibility," said Judge Lovett, "but it rests primarily on congress. When the government regulates the rates and the financial administration of the railroads, the borrowing of money and the issuance of securities it relieves the railroad officers of the responsibility of providing and developing transportation systems, except within the limits of the revenue that can be realized from such rates and under such restrictions. "For a country such as ours, for a people situated as we are, to bludgear along with a series of unrelated, inconsistent, conflicting statutes enacted by different states without relation to each other, instead of providing a complete and carefully studied and prepared system of regulation for a business that is so vital to the life of the nation, is worse than folly." He summed up the present problems and difficulties of the railroads as follows: First.—The multiplicity of regulations by the several states with respect to the issue of securities, involving delays and connecting state policies generally dangerous and possibly disastrous. Second.—The multiplicity of rates in such states, which reduce revenues, to discontinue in favor of localities and shipers within its own borders as against localities and shipers in other states and to disturb and disarrange the structure of interstate rates. Thick. The inability of the Interstate Commission, whoever the commission may be, to perform the vast duties devolving upon it under existing laws, resulting in delay—which should never occur in commercial matters—and compelling the commissioners to accept the conclusions of their employees as final in deciding mafters of great importance to the commercial and railroad interests of the country. Fourth.-The practical legality that has been accorded conspiracies to the up and suspend the operation of the railroads of the country by strikes and violence and the absence of any law to compel the settlement of such disputes by arbitration or other judicial means, as all other issues between citizens in civilized states are to be settled. Fifth.-The phenomenal increase in the taxation of railroads in recent years Department of Archives ne Pi HALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE 52. MARTINSBURG, Sixth.-The cumulative effect of these conditions upon the investing public, to which railroad companies must look for the capital necessary to continue development. "We believe that the unification of regulation is essential," said Judge Lovett, "and that with the rapid increase of state commissions in recent years congress will be necessary." sistent and related system. We believe the best, if not the only practical plan, is the federal incorporation of railroads by general law, which will make incorporation thereunder com- evolutions with respect to its financial operations and the same duties and obligations to the public and the government so that it will serve well of corporation may and may not lawfully do." Judge Lovett contended that the solution of these problems and difficulties rested with congress. He told the committee that under the constitution the authority of the federal government is paramount, that consent has the power to legislate for a centralized control of railroads under federal charters and that it only remains for that body to exercise that power.

ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL A Reason For Some of the Accidents at Night. Frequently when there is no obvious, where the automobile is on the road, it fits an obstruction or set, the driver or some other person of the car or the property so. happens is that the driver goes to sleep. In a report of an accident some time ago the driver frankly said he went to sleep and the next thing he knew he was under the car, which was an ablution. The police officer of driving an auto night for several hours is really sponsible for more accidents than effective construction. The constant vibration of the steering wheel, the co-ordinates of the machine and the drone of the wind have the same effect as does the buzz of an electric fan on most folk. Before the driver realizes it he is getting drowsy. The wheel is held more and more loosely. Gradually the car takes the line of least resistance, aided by the slacking (but not totally abandoned) control of the driver. The next thing he knows he is off the road. Sometimes the car overturns. Sometimes the driver escapes, together with the occupants of the car. Oftentimes the dereliction results in injury or death. If more drivers realized the danger of not keeping awake there would be fewer accidents. At least this is the opinion of experienced drivers.—Chicago Journal. HOW WARS START. An Ocean Cable Would Have Averted Our Conflict of 1812. Had there been an ocean telegraph in 1812 there might not have been a war with England at that time. Five days after President Madison signed the declaration of war England recalled the orders in council which had provoked it. The purpose to recall the orders was unknown in America, while in England nothing was known of the war declaration when the orders were revoked. This war's most important battle, that of New Orleans, was fought fifteen days after the treaty of peace had been signed at Ghent. It was this battle which made Jackson a popular idol and gave him the presidency. The first step in the Crimean war was Russia's invasion of Moldavia, months before diplomatic rupture with England and France. The firing on Fort Sumter, which started the war between the states, is a familiar story. The first shot of the Franco-Prussian war was by a French soldier on guard at Strasburg bridge a day or two before Napoleon III, formally took the field. The attempt on Bismarck's life as he was walking down the Unter den Linden on May 7, 1896, rallied public sentiment to bilin and bib policy and from a dramatic standpoint may be said to have been the first shot in the Austro-Prussian war. The blowing up of the Maine was the first blow in the Spanish American war, which ended Spanish possessions in the new world. — Chariton Bates Strayer in Leilies. When Novels Were Really Long. Though William de Morgan wrote some of the longest novels of recent times, his efforts were conelessness itself compared with the works of some of the seventeenth century romancers. Mike, ce Sudbury's one famous story, "Le Grand Cyrus," for instance, fills five folio "volumes of 500 pages each in the English translation, and her contemporary La Calenpronte, was even more diffuse, his "Cleopatre" running into twenty-three volumes. The leisurely method of the early novelists is well illustrated in "Parthenisa," by Roger Boyle, earl of Orcery, in which the eight hundredth page finds the two chief characters still engaged in the process of introducing themselves to each other, begin on page one. Where the Guns Kick Hard Duck shooting at an altitude of 14, 600 feet, on the Junin pampa, along the shore of the lake of that name, is a sport that can be followed in Peru. Very peculiar effects are noted in this rarefied region, probably the highest INCASED POSTAGE STAMPS. Once Used as Money, They Are Now Rare and Valuable. New York city was the birthplace of a peculiar sort of money, made by putting United States postage stamps in that circular brass cases, with the face protected by a thin slop of metal. The incased stamps consisted of these denominations: 1, 2, 5, 10, 12, 24, 30 mil. 80 cent, 1862, and this method of protecting the stamps so they could withstand the wear of circulation was the invention of John Gaunt, who was in business at Park place, New York city. Mr. Gaunt manufactured many kinds to be used by business firms in place of small change, as well as the multilated and worn postage stamps used for money at the beginning of the war. Many of the incased stamps bore the name of the firm on the reverse side so that the currency served to advertise the firm that issued it. Occasionally a subscriber asks us in regard to these stamps and their value. Our reply always is that they are of considerable rarity and not infrequently they command a big premium. This is particularly true of the 12, 24, 30 and 30 cent denominations. These stamps are eagerly sought for by collectors of both stamps and coins, but especially the former, and they fetch good prices whenever offered at auction sales.—American Boy. FIRST "ONE HORSE SHAY." Quaint Old "Ad." That Told the Public of the New Invention. A newspaper advertisement in the London Daily Post of Aug. 22, 1728, a copy of which is in the Wisconsin Historical Library, telling of the invention of the one horse chase, affords an interesting example of the advertising methods at that date. It is as follows: "His Majesty has been graciously pleased to grant his Royal Letters Patent bearing the date of the 29th Day of July last, unto William Chapman, of London, Coach and Coach-harness Maker (for the term of 14 years) for his sole making a newly invented Chase or Chair with two wheels, to be drawn by one Horse between a pair of shafts, which is so contrived as to quarter the Roads with great Ease by the Person riding in it, without Lett, Stop, or Hindrance, the Horse continuing in the same path, so as the Wheels go exactly at all times in the Coach Track, by which means the person in such carriage may travel with more expedition, Safety and Pleasure both to himself and Horse, than in anything of like nature hitherto invented. The great Use and Convenience of the said invention will readily be made to appear by the said William Chapman at his House in Wormwood Street, London Wall, Near Bishopsgate, where several carriages are already made." Getting the Air. I have known city men, hundreds of them, who had a firm conviction that one of the greatest obstacles in their way to becoming healthy lay in the fact that city air has less ozone in it than the air up state or at the seashore. True, the air down by the sidewalks would not assay as high in ozone as that in the Carskill mountains, but the difference chemically is so slight that it isn't worth talking about.—Dr. L. R. Welzmiller in World's Work. The Macaroni Record The "macaroni record" stands at present at 2,160 yards (just under a mile and a quarter). This is the exact mile a macaroni swallowed by a Signor Spoel. Could in an eating duel with Signor Revere a few years ago—London Tit Lite. Grayfish as a Food It used to be called the dogfish and was looked upon as a worthless nuisance. Now, through the efforts of Uncle Sum's bureau of fisheries, it is called the grayfish and is in great demand as a valuable food product. The grayfish contains a little less protein and a little more fat than the salmon, but in digestibility, richness and whole someness it equals, if it does not excel many of our popular fish foods. One interesting result of the analysis thus far made by the government is that the grayfish is entirely free from uric acid, which is not true of meats, poultry or other fishes. CAREFUL SPEECH. It Aids Clear Thinking and the Expression of One's Ideas. Nothing is more of a help to clear thinking than careful speech. Very often we discover a flaw in our logic when we attempt to put it into words, observes the Irish World. But sometimes we really have ideas, though we experience difficulty in expressing them. People on sympathetic natures are frequently dumb in the presence of sorrow. Some who are very intelligent are so silent and diffident that nobody ever gets the benefit of their bright ideas. A recent poet has intimated that for the deep things of life language is altogether inadequate; but, however that may be, it is the principal means at present by which human beings get close together. We learn to talk, as we say, in the first few years of life, and some of us get very little beyond that start in babyhood. We can ask for what we want to eat and drink, but we are unable to express sympathy tactfully and gracefully. We have a great many ideas that we never try to put into words, because we feel that we do not know the right words. We have not really learned to talk while we remain silent regarding the things which mean most to us. NEGLECTED CHILDREN If There Were Fewer of Them There Would Be Less Crime. A St. Louis judge recently made the statement in an address delivered before a local bar association that "if one fourth as much as is spent for keeping up our courts, jails, poorhouses and paupers was applied to help neglected city children make a proper start in life the high tide of crime surely would decrease." This is a remarkable statement to make; but, coming from the source it does, it is worthy of consideration of all philanthropic men and women. Had the speaker made his statement more general and applicable to the country as well as to the cities it would all the same be worthy of credence. The life of every one depends largely upon the start made. There are those who are started right and then depart from the straight but narrow path, but they are the exception and not the rule. Thousands of little unfortunate may be said to be born criminals, the offspring of criminal parentage. If not so born they are so bred. But it is true, as said by this St. Louis judge, that if a benevolent and righteous public would deal with the problem as it might there would be less crime and fewer criminals — Knoxville Journal and Tribune. Our Public Health Service In the fields of preventive medicine and in all matters in which the public health is concerned the public health service does work which is not only unsurpassed but unequaled in any country of the world. This is recognized and fully appreciated in Europe, and recently in one of the chief medical journals of Europe high praise was given to the service for the extremely valuable information with regard to disease and preventive medicine which was disseminated by the agency of its bulletins and other publications. In fact, the United States public health service is unique and is an institution of which this country has every reason to be proud. It remains as an ever ready foundation upon which to erect the department of public health whenever congress shall see fit to establish it.—Medical Record.

But the fact that Billy could not befuddle the public were it not for the combination of sta- tioned ministers, is good evidenec that they are stronger and hetter than Billy Sunday, the biggest hy- pocrite that ever trotted over this or any other country. His religion is as lasting as a shaving-fire and about as beneficial to the religious welfare of this country as is leprosy. His prime object is money and it has worked so well, that America’s crop of lesser Billy Sundays is daily, to the curse of this country, in creasing. We suggest that the sin-fighting Billy Sunday raise a regiment and fight for America. Will you do it? Foot prints on the sands of time } ‘They are telling truths tor everlast- ing good.

Germany and no other foreign foe has the power to bribe a loyal Negre against America, the soil of which he is a patriotic part. Though hated by the majority of the whites because, and only because he is dark in color, and having no flag that protects hita, God for some reason has filled his soul with fighting loy- alty for the scil he has made, en- riched and stained with his blood, and which in time is sure to be his. A question constantly before us and commanding almost as much attention as the war news is--Should women be given the suffrage? We notice that the question of right is seldom raised. It is the wisdom o1 policy of woman suffrage that is implied in the question. ‘The right is not touched upon; though we may say in passing, that the right, under the Constitution, of the fe- jmale citizen to vote is as clear as sunlight—as undeniable as is the right of the male citizen. The | Teasoning which proves the right of ithe one also establishes the ritht of the other. Of course. she has the right, if it can be snewn that in the exercise of the right there is w a2 or policy. She has the right to ‘drink same as men have: but it wouldi't he wise or politic for her to do so. She has the right to smoke, or chew tobacco and swear, and indulge it other male prerogatives, if she wants to; but it wouldn't be wisdom or volicy for her to do so. True, some women do drink and smok: and swear, but that doesn’t stam} the vice with tne seal of virtue. And because some women do vote or want to vote, doesn't imply wis dom or policy for all todo so. In deed, the majority of women do not want to vote, By what right can a federal amendment for woman suffrage he imposed upon those States that de not wish for it, and upon the de mand of a minority of women? ‘The fundamental principle of democra- cy Tmajority rule—should be ap- plied to the suffrage question. And here isa significant fact, that after ‘sixty five years of organized effort, woman suffrage is still a minority movement. One touch of nature makes all akin— Knob Hill proves that.

MUSICAL TRAINING. It Should Have a Place In the Educa+ tion of Every Child. Sion oF Every Unilda, We shall make no real progress in music in this country, says Bruno Huhn, until we come to consider a training in the rudiments of music as an essential point in the education of our children, Too often parents excuse their re- ‘missness on the ground that their chil- dren show no spontaneous desice to study music. Because a child shows uo such desire to study reading, writ- ing and arithmetic do we for that rea- son permit him to neglect totally these subjects? No normal child desires to study any subject, and a failure on the part of a child to crave a musical edu- cation should not be permitted to ex- cmpt him from such training. In my opinion the average child should begin to study music at the age of elght or nine and for at least two years devote an hour a day to the exer- cise of it, After two years the child's prefer- ence and aptitude may safely be con- sulted in regard to further study. But in any event the two years of study have not been wasted, for he bas al- ready learned something that will be of use to him all bis life. Musical training, especially in the home, should have a place in the edu- cation of every child.—Exchange.

Thrift acquaints itself with true val- ues and keeps tab on expenditures. Neither minute gains nor even small losses are underrated by the thrifty. To postpone to afternoon what should be done in the morning is thriftlessness of management, An Architectural Gem, Claude Perrault was one of the rare geniuses who (urned from the profes- sion of medicine to that of art. He was born in 1613, being the brother of Charles Perrault, the noted barrister, through whose influence he became ar. chitect of the Louvre in Paris. The colonnade of this building, which he erected, is regarded as one of the finest creations of its kind of the seventeenth century. Miitana: | “The real object of mirror,” said Mr. Pinkerton, “is to enable women to see themselves as others see them.” “No,” remarked bis friend, Mr, Ankel- by; “I think they were invented so that women could inake themselves look as they wanted others td see them !”— Loudon Globe. Local Notes. Mr. John F. Carter, was in Hagerstown on business Tuesday. Mr. T. Crumwell, who recently completed a large concrete job, has contracted for another one. Mrs. Julia Barnett, wife of Rev. John Barnett is very ill at Freedman's Hospital, Washington D. C. Mrs. Hannah Jefferson, of Winchester Va., is visiting her sister Mrs. Sarah Hopewell at 514 West Martin Street. Mr. William Spears took Rev. R. R. Thompson and wife back to their home in Charles Town on Thursday, in his Motor Car. Mr. James Thompson, the famous chef, who had charge of the Senate Hotel, Harrisburg, Pa., and who is known the country over as an extraordinary fine cook will give Martinsburg for a time the benefit of his knowledge along that line. The recital by the ten young ladies of Storer College was very clever indeed. In declaiming their accent, emphasis, and rotundity of speech was the best evidence of careful instruction. The Pioneer Press wishes the groupe successions of blessings and hopes everyone will fill aching voids for womenly women. Mrs. Virginia Crane formerly of this city, but for some years a resident of Harper's Ferry, spent a few hours here Sunday visiting her son Mr. Paul Crane. Mrs. Crane is head Matron in Lincoln Hall, Storer College and speaks well of the young men under charge. She was warmly welcomed by her old friends and we hope she will come again Mrs. Helen Jackson Davis, died in the City Hospital shortly after noon Tuesday and was buried from Mt. Zion M. E. Church Thursday. Mrs. Davis was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hamon Jackson and was born and reared in Martinsburg. Since her marriage she had made her home in Ohio. A loving husband and two small children, one an infant son about five weeks old survive her, also her parents, four sisters and four brothers. The floral tributes to her memory were many and beautiful showing the devotion of relatives and friends.

Guessing a Star. Mira, the wonderful star in the constellation Cetus (the Whale), stands foremost among those variable stars which have produced so much guesswork. Besides the theory that its even months' variations are due to the dickering up and down of gas, it has been conjectured that this distant sun is subject to particularly acute sun spots, that its obscurations are due to eclipse by huge planets revolving round it and even, according to Maupertuis, that it is not spherical in shape, as other heavenly bodies are, so that we see it sometimes in sections, sometimes in plane. Occasionally, as in 1789 and 1889, it has blazed up actually to first magnitude, while from 1672 to 1676 it disappeared altogether.—Boston Transcript. Warming a Serpent. Down in Bermuda Mark Twain made a speech about snakes to a group of little girls. The speech was great. The only trouble was that the little girls could not appreciate it. It flew over their heads. This was the humorist's conclusion: "Never warm a serpent in your bosom. It is far easier to warm it by placing it under the pillow of an intimate friend." His Ear For Music. "Has your daughter finished her musical education?" Varieties of Bananas. To most persons in the temperate zones a banana is a banana. But the truth is that there are over sixty known varieties of the fruit, with as great or greater variation in character as the different kinds of apples. Hawaii is said to have something over forty distinct varieties of the fruit, most of which have been introduced by the whites. Some of these are of extremely delicate and delicous flavor, while other kinds are used, if at all, only when cooked in various ways. There is scarcely a city house lot or country "kulcana" or homestead which does not have a clump or two of bananas, which grow with practically no care, new plants or suckers shooting out to replace the ones which have fruited and been removed. Quail Aids the Farmer. "The meat value of the quail is inconsiderable—negligible—when compared to the services these birds render to the farm," a bird expert of the University of Oklahoma says. "They prey upon 145 different kinds of destructive insects and consume no less than 129 varieties of noxious weed seeds. They stay on the job twelve months in the year and labor continually when weather conditions permit. I do not believe that the landowners should permit a multitude of so called sportsmen to destroy this powerful ally of the farmer." A Lily of Aaia. The illium chakedonium is supposed to be the illy indicated in the sixth chapter of Matthew, twenty-eighth verse, where it is compared with the gorgeous robes of Solomon, and its color was scarlet or purple. This illy grows profusely in the moist parts of Asia Minor.-Indianapolis News Husbands. "The majority of husbands complain that their hands are always in their pockets." "They do, do they? Then why don't they find there the letters they have forgotten to mail for their wives?"—Baltimore American. Poetic Theme. "I read your 'Ode to Milady's Hair.'" "Well?" said the poet. "I thought maybe we could hire you to write an advertisement in poetry for our hair goods department. There's where she bought that hair."—Louisville Courier-Journal. No Novelty. Teacher—Why were you not at school yesterday? Tommy—It was my birthday. Teacher—But I don't stay home from school on my birthday. Tommy—Well, I guess you've got used to 'em. New York Times. She Spoke. "When I got home at 2 this morning my wife met me in the hall, and for a full minute she regarded me in silence." "At length she spoke?" "Yes; also she spoke at length."—Boston Transcript. Poor Economy. Probably the poorest economy in the world is to buy things you don't want in order to make acquaintances you don't need.—Galveston News. We never learn anything new by hearing ourselves talk. Hard Lines. "In financial trouble? What is it?" "Oh, I promised to pay Brown $1 today, and I've got it, and he know I've got it, and he knows I know he knows I've got it."—Puck. Slip a few Prince Albert smokes into your system!

A lady one day remarked to Bulwer Lytton how odd it was that a dove (Latin, colombe) should have been sent out to find the old world, and Columbus (Colombe) should have found the new. "Yes," agreed the novelist, "but more curious still is the fact that one came from Noah and the other from Genoa!" Tommy—Dad, what is a pessimist? Dad—A pessimist is a man who would rather read the death notices in a newspaper than the jokes.—Exchange. Contentment gives a crown where fortune hath denied it—Ford.
