This would mean a i ce?tri\UiH?g of power in Wash ngton, | which the people by 110 means want, j The trend is already toward 'centralisation, and in such a marked degree as to render the condition a menace to ' state's rights. Each separate state should he allowed the privilege to enact laws governing carriers within that state's bounds; c'sc, the roads could impose any kind of service regardless i of the people's accomodation. The national government cannot legislate I for the various and varying conditions j in the separate states. i THE CHAIN LETTER CRAZE. ' I lie chain letter crank is i abroad in the laiul. The post oftice here i I is constantly receiving such letters ad- : jdressed to parties out of town. The chain letter conies into the office with 1 a one cent stamp on it. The law requires that the post master notify the \ party to whom the letter is addressed, f so that such party may send proper postage. Imagine a man's disgust, ? after forwarding the necessary postage |C for a letter here that should have had a '1 two cent stamp on it instead of the one i cent stamp it does bear?"imagine this i man opening the letter when it does c reach him and finding that it is a re- 1 quest that he repeat some jumblcd-up sort of a prayer for somehing he never 5 heard of ten or a dozen times! It is i praying. Our practice we commend to > others: chuck the whole thing iu^tlve 4 j waste basket and forget it. A SMALL MATTER. There are some little matters in life which are given scant thought; and I yet we arc taught that life is made up 'of little things. Each minute has something and each hour plays a part in the shaping of a life. We live only a | moment at a time and that moment lias its effect on.the kind of a life we] are to live. Hence, it behooves us to best use that moment for our own bet: terment. Granted that we do this, there are jet influences of the exterior world which make their impress "and , i ...... o^..^..n:?,ri., ri.... I, .

It bears grcat; | ly on the future life of the child withr in that home, and once its meaning is f grasped, much worry and sorrow may be avoided. We do not presume to dictate nor . direct as to how children shall be rcar. i ed, nor do we offer a plan by which I their lives may' be made perfect; we J merely call attention to a "small thing" | that may make for good, and that is ! the manner of waking a sleeping child. ^ i A rude awakening has a bad effect. A ^ j pleasa.njw -awskvning a good effect, scientists and physicians tell us that the nervous system is in a critical condition at the moment of awakening, and care should be taken in the manner it is done. A rude waking, with rough hand and harsh voice makes an impression on the child that lasts through the day. The nerves, sensitive at all times, and especially then, receive a severe shock, and the mental sensations are necessarily bad. The final result is an ill tern\per, unstrung nerves and a detestabh person,-who might have otherwise beer dc\ .r?OM Kenia' companion. A wakinp las^V Sand a gentle toych '<?"iw""r os- jle .

The manner of waking a child nay determine the entire pathway and lestination of a life. Bill Nye, among thousands of other jood things, gave utterance to the following good advice: ''When you wake a child, do it in a pleasant way. Do not take him .by jhe ear and pull lint out of bed. It is dfsdgreeejM^tp lie child and injuries the general tour " nucmble" of the ear. Where children {<> to bed with tears on their cheeks, md arc wakened by the dyspeptic parents, they have a pretty good excuse or crime in after years.

Transcending in importance every other business question before the American people is that of transportaI tion. ! We are at a crucial period when freight congestion and inadequate transportation facilities are the burden of the business man's life. . Every man in America is vitally affected by this question, for it bears on every individual's business chances. '.A great expansion of transportation facilities is v?tal to business expansion, ^> growth of trade and commerce and to the increasing wealth of agricultural, industrial and general business interests. The broadest development of river transportation, the deepening of river channels and of harbors by* the .National government now becomes vitali. . . . ly necessary in orucr to lessen ircigm congestion.
