"Tho era of persecution is aver," railroad officials are qnot fl as saying. "Persecution" is anther too strong a word. Rail Soad Bins they have been many brought upon railroadB gener ally the wrath and distrust of the Xpnblic. This resulted in a regu latory policy in which the pendu lum swung to an extreme. It is now getting back to plumb. Hail Toads themselves, through perse cution, have learned wholesome lessons, and there is an indica tion now to win back the faith vol the people by a greater con servatism in financing and a larg er consideration for the conven ience of travelers and shipper?. An era of better understand ing is the consequence and a tense of mutual responsibility on the part' of public and railroads promises peace and prosperity. From the first the FoBt has protested againBt the blind in dignation that visited judgment upon the guilty and righteous alike and made all to suffer for the offenses of the few. We have surged that the country should xecognize the supreme import ance of the railroads as tho arter ial system of its commercial and social life. Whatever their de jects may be, the remedv does not lie in starving them. When we starve them we Btarve our selves. It is gratifying to find in lie Interstate Commerce Com mission's recent awards evidence that this truth ib realized. Chi cago Evening 1'ost.

Mothers, teach your little, ones when very young to bo frank and honest, show them that almost any mischief Is preferable to deceit and falsehood, and then, when they realize tho value of truth, trust them. You have no Idea how great an Influence a mother's trust can bo. Tho very knowledge that mother trusts them will be enough to hold tho llttlo ones back from any real evil. Cannot Lose Real Good. We cannot lose any real good. Friends pass from our sight, but our lives aro tho stronger and tnoro beau tiful for that friendship. Effort and achievement aro forgotten, but tho long-ago struggle and the victory won aro armor for now contests today. Happiness lives on as sweet memories. Sclf-sncrlflcc abides as unselfishness. Whatever of good wo havo known, is ours as long as wo love tho good. Work for a Candid Coed. A professor In tho economics de partment of tho University of Mis souri who was assigning subjects for papers to bo written asked ono of tho girl students the other day what sho was going to do after graduation. "I'm going to get married," replied tho coed. "Very well, thtfh you may wrlto a paper on the high cost of living," said the professor. Columbia Herald. Man's Selfishness. An aged German and his wlfo were much given to quarreling. One day, after a particularly unpleasant scene, the old woman remarked, with a sigh: "Veil, I vlsh I vas in beaten." "I vleh I vob in a beer-garden!" shouted her husband. "Ach, ja," cried the old wife, "always you try to pick out the beet for yourself 1" Then and Now. Tou must not be eo quarrelsome, Willi o," said William's father, impres sively. "Remember that the meek shall Inherit the earth.'

Louisville Courier-Journal. Friendship. "Friendship," wrote Evelyn, "has in it something of all relations and something above, them alLf- It Is tho golden threads that Ues th0 hearts of all the world." Nothing Is a surer In dication of character than the sincer ity and depth of one's friendships. Failure. Falling and being a failure are two enUrely different things, and there are people who wring more success out of their misfortune than others do out of all the advantages showered upon them. It Is not falling but staying down that makes a failure. Dally Thought Seek not your life for that Is death. But seek how you can best and most Joyfully give your own life away and every morning, forever, fresh life shall come to you from over the hills. Ed ward Carpenter. What'a the Answer?
