A STRIKINGLY STRONG ARTICLE
BY COL, HARVEY.
THE WRITER SEES 10 CLOUD
A Plea for the Conservation f
Common Sense" That la Meeting
With Cordial Approval.
A strikingly strong article by Colo
Bel George Harvey in the North
American Review, for September, Is
written in a view of such hopeful
ness for the American future that it
has attracted wide attention. The
article is entitled, MA Plea for the
Conservation of Common Sense" and
it is meeting with the cordial ap
proval of business men of all shades
of political opinion throughout the en
tire country. In part Colonel Harvey
says:
"Unquestionably a spirit of unrest
dominates the land. But, if it be
true that fundamentally the condition
of the country is sound, must we
necessarily succumb to despondency,
abandon effort looking to retrieval
and cringe like cravens before clouds
that only threaten? Rather ought
we not to analyze conditions, search
for causes, find the root of the dis
tress, which even now exists only in
men's minds, and then, after the
American fashion, apply such rem
edies as seems most likely to produce
beneficent results?
Capital and Labor Not Antagonistic.
"The Link that connects labor with
capital Is not broken but we may not
deny that it Is less cohesive than It
should be or than conditions war
rant Financially, the country is
stronger than ever before In its his
tory. Recovery from a panic so
severe as that of three years ago was
never before so prompt and compara
tively complete. The masses are
practically free from debt. Money is
held by the banks in abundance and
rates are low.
"Why, then, does capital pause
upon the threshold of investment?
The answer, we beliee, to be plain.
It awaits adjustment of the relations
of government to business. The
sole problem consists of determining
how government can maintain an
even balance between aggregations
of interests, on the one hand, and the
whole people, on the other, protect
ing the latter against extortion and
saving the former from mad assaults.
"The solution is not easy to find
for the simple rear.on that the situ
ation is without precedent. But is
not progress being made along sane
and cautious lines?
Conserve Common Sense.
"Is not the present, as we have
seen, exceptionally secure? What,
then, of preparations for the future?
Patriotism is the basis of our insti
tutions. And patriotism in the minds
of our youth is no longer linked solely
with fireworks and deeds of daring. It
is taught in our schools. A new
course has been added a course in
loyalty. Methodically, our children
learn how to vote, how to conduct
primaries, conventions and elections,
how to discriminate between qualifies
Tunis of candidates and, finally, how
to govern as well as serve. They are
t lught to despise bribery and all
jorms of corruption and fraud as
treason. Their creed, which they aro
made to know by heart, is not com
plex. It is simple, but comprehen
sive, no less beautiful in diction than
loft in aspiration. These are the
pledges khich ore gracn upon their
memories:
"As it is cowardly for a soldier to
run away from battle, so it is coward
ly for an citizen not to contribute
his share to the well-being of his
country. America is my own dear
land; she nourishes me, and I will
love her and do my duty to her,
whose child, servant and civil soldier
I am.
"As the health and happiness of
my body depend upon each muscle
and nerve and drop of blood doing
its work in its place, so the health
and happiness of my country depend
upon each citizen doing his work in
his place.
"These young citizens are our
hostages to fortune. Can we not
safely assume that the principles ani
mating their lives augur well for the
permanency of the Republic? When
before have the foundation stones
of continuance been laid with such
care and promise of durability?
"The future, then, is bright And
the present? But one thing is need
ful. No present movement is more
laudable than that which looks to
conservation of natural resources.
But let us never forget that the great
est inherent resource of the Amer
ican people is Common Sense. Let
that be conserved and applied with
out cessation, and soon it will be
found that all the Ills of which we
complain but know not of are only
such as attend upon the growing
pains of a great and blefsed country.
Spiritualizatlon.
Religion snould be native. It
.should be concrete and applicable.
Religion is the natural expression of
living, not a set of actions of of hab
its, or a posture of the mind added to
the daily life. The type of religion,
therefore, is conditioned on the kind
.of living, and the kind of living is
conditioned, in its turn, very large
ly on the physical and economic ef
fectiveness of lige. The religion of
the open country should run deep into
the indigenous affairs of the open
country.

hunts on his own land. The present
annual revenue from hunting licenses
Is about $9,000 a year. Mr. Geilus be
lieves that the revenue would be
trebled or doubled. Having provided
for funds, he would then have deputy
game wardens appointed in every
county at a salary of $300 a year. This
salary, which would actually cover
about six months of work,,-;, ould be
sufficient to bring iu many applicants
from whom probably good meu might
be selected.

SIXTEEN DUE KILLED
ROCK ISLAND INTO TORRENT
WITH BRIDGE GONE.
NEBMSMN WONG THE DEAD
Cloudburst Causes a Flood and Turns
a Dry Bed Into a Raging Stream
of Water.
Clayton. Kan. Sixteen persons lost
their lives and eleven others suffered
injuries in the wreck early Friday
morning two miles east of town of
westbound Rock Island passenger
train No. 27. which was due In Den
ver at 8:25 in the morning from Kan
sas city.
Partial list of dead:
P. Blckenbaugh, Goodland. Kan.,
engineer.
A. V. Huffman, Kansas City, bag
gage man.
J. W. Usher. Denver, conductor.
William .Mills, fireman.
Herman Mueller. South Center,
Kan.
John Sloop, Boyle. Kan.
W. E. Shively. Agra. Kan.
Gilbert H. Ivans, Fullerton. Neb.
The remainder of the dead are un
identified. The wreck occurred at a fill, a
thousand feet of which bad been
washed out by a cloudburst.
The train was running practically
on time and was proceeding on a
straight stretch of track. Evidently
the first intimation that the engineer
had of any danger came when he real
ized that the forward portion of the
train was running in water, which
had spread out over the tracks near
the fill. Reversing the engine, the
engineer checked the speed of the
train, but not enough to prevent the
engine, baggage car. and the smoker
going over into the depression. The
rear end of the smoker remained tilt
ed on the earth bank and the chair
car ripped its way into the smoker,
smashing it to pieces and killing or
injuring! many passengers.
The chair car itself was consider
ably damaged, and several passengers
riding in this car were hurt. So far
as can be learned all of the passengers
killed were occupants of the smoker.
To the coolness and quick wit of En
gineer Pickinbaugh, who lost his life,
is attributed the saving of the lives of
those who escaped.
Passengers in the Pullman and
other day coach, hurled from the
berths, and chairs by the shock, hur
ried out Into the storm and rendered
what aid they could to the injured
and in extricating the mangled bodies
af the dead.
Others hurried to Clayton, where
news cf the accident was wired to
division headquarters, and within half
! an hour physicians and nurses and a
wrck train were being hurried to the
scne from Norton. Colby, Goodland
and Phillipsburg. It was not until late
Friday afternoon, however, that thp
last bodies were recovered from the
wreck.

FLIGHT OVER THE ALPS.
The Man Who Did It, However, is
Injured.
Domodossoia. Italy. The great
feat of crossing the snow-capped Al
pine barrier between Switzerland and
Italy in a heavier-than-air machine
was accomplished by George Chavez,
the young Peruvian aviator.
The plucky hero of the exploit, how
ever, lies in the Domodossota hospi
tal badly injured as the result of an
accident that occurred just as he had
completed the most arduous and
nerve-racking portion of the task.
Both his legs are broken, his left
thigh is fractured and his body is
badly contused, but the physicians in
attendance are of the opinion that
these hurts will not prove fatal.

PUZ2LED
Work, Sometimes,
Children.
Hard
to Raise
Children's taste Is ofttiiaes more ac
curate, in selecting the right kind of
food to fit tho body, than that of
adults. Nature works more accurate
ly through the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: "Our little
hoy had long been troubled with
weak digestion. We could never per
euado him to take more than one taste
of any kind of cereal food. He was
a weak little chap and we were pus
zled to know what to feed him on.
"One lucky day we tried Grape
Nuts. Well, you never saw a child
eat with such a relish, and it did me
good to see him. From that day on
lt seemed as though we could almost
see him grow. He would eat Grape
Nuts for breakfast and supper, and I
think he would have liked the food
for dinner.
"The difference In his appearance is
something wonderful.
"My husband had never fancied ce
real foods of any kind, but he be
came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has
been much improved in health since
using it
"We are now a healthy family, and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
"A friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with rickets. I was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack of proper nourishment. They
showed it. So I urged her to use
Grape-Nuts as an experiment and the
result was almost magical.
"They continued the food and todar1
both children are well and strong ai
any children In this 'city, and. of
course, my friend is a firm believer In
Grape-Nuts for she has the evidence
before her eyes every day."
