There is one thing the congressman

“4- time 01 year for it. In England men of
Intelligence find rest from the cares of
business and public duties in tho culti-
vation of giant roses, of lilies and other
flowers, of beautiful shrubs and vines.
AnE liahmnn'shighcet ambition is to

_ The Passing of steam.
writing in The Forum. Henry J.
Fletcher tells us of the decline in popu-
lation and importance of the small town
throughout America He mentions the
rate at which hundreds of townships
have fallen oil‘ in the last. 20 years in the
most populous country districts of some
of the richest agricultural states in this
Union—namely, the region comprised
in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa.
. The large city has absorbed the enter-
prise and all the brainiust, most ambi—
tions young people of those states and
left the country noighlmrhoods dull and
dead.
Mr. Fletcher does not nanro one of
the principal (muses of this. however.
which is undoubtedly the steam engine.
Steam, considered as a motive power. is
the great contraiizcr of industries.
Steam railways build up the city at the
expense of the country. Steam operates
factories in or very close to the great
cities. Water and transportation are to
be had most advantageously in the
cities. Since the motive powor could
not go to the operative, the operative
had to go to the motive power.
With the advent of electricity all this
will be changed. Steam has been the
great ocutrulizor; electricity will be the
great decontrulizr-r. The water powers
all over the country can be utilized once
more. They will now produce tho oloc.
tricai current. This can Ill‘ divided and
subdivided infinitely and conveyed any
distance. It can run the cheap and con-
veniuuti‘trolioy lmtwocn tho country vil—
lages; it can turn the loom or sewing
machine in tho homo of the artisan. It
is within the possibilities that our huge
factory system will be almlishcd when
electricity tlilr'll roaches full develop-
ment. Tho "builds" will boconw indi-
viduals again. Humanity will no lon~
gor be tartar-d out of a cast iron mold,
one spocinwu exactly like another.
Factories. with electricity as a mo‘
tivo powr‘r, will ho run as srrr-cvssfully
in the small town as in the city. With
clcctricity horn, thr-rr- and vwrywlwro
transportation will luu-unw «in-.rp and
swift. 'l'iw lndividualrzlng of rnanlllnd
and of industries will begin again.
Electricity will stop the Ill'lmptllliiinll
of the country. and, happily for all.

That was a humorous verdict the Ar-

humorous. in fact, as the United States

investigating committee. “but we roc-
