The statistics regarding the railroad
business OF this country are very sug-
gestivc of the immense resources and
irrepressible enterprise and energy of
the American people. We have now
in the United States 1o7 900 miles of
railroad, about one-third of 1t built in
four and one-half years. Our railway
mileage is now about the So ne as that
of all Europe. The earnings of all the
roads in operation last year were $725,-
1926, l19, being an increase over the pre-
yious year of S1in. .nnn. 900, er .'ss.iy 10
per cent. They were equal TO $3.50 per
head of our population. The current
expenses of the roads were S449, ,565,OIl.
For interest on funded debts 1928 1887 :
002 was paid. aud in dividends $685.
33I 200, against $77,ll5,4ll for 1880.
Over $3.50 900 900 was expended in the
construction of new lines and in operat'
ing and improving the old ones. Esii-
mating the persons employed in operat-
ing these roads at twelve to the mile,
there were ,200,0 900 in all. to which
number must be added 400, 900 engaged
in railway construction, making the
total 600 600, or about one-thirty-see
ond part of the population. The
amount of freight carried is estimated
at $50 ,000, 900 tons, of an assumed vslu,
of $l2 ,000, ,000, 900. or more than 500

Reform has struck the Post Office
Department in Washington. and a
young German employed there is get
ting the benefit OF it. lie was called
up the other day and brought before
the POstmas ter General to answer to a
ser ious charge-that of having been in
the habit OF kissing lady, also employed
there, whenever he delivered letters to
her. The innocent German young
man was more than surprised, aud ex-
planned that lie had kissed the lady, but
that in Germany kiss under tho cir
cumstances meant no more than shaking
hands in this country. II was the Ger
man custom that he had followed, with
no thoughts of harm. When he met
the lady he greeted her with kiss,
instead ot the formal shaking of hands
as Americans do. The Postmaster
General Informed this innocent Ger
man young man that he must conform
t. the American customs, aud that he
would not be allowed to introduce his
German customs, however preferable
they might be to our cold, matter ol
fact ways. This seems like one OF
thoes reforms that work in the wrong
direction. 1t would seem much bettel
to start the department in the direction
of the German custom, If happily the
delectable influence thereof might
spread over the whole country ant
enliven the dull conventionality of ih'
cold American manner Of greeting.

Soiled bingham dress,

Black each wee hand
Been making mud pies,
And playing in sand;
Dear precious head,
Tousled and rough;
Bright, laughing eyes,
Can't see enough;

All day.
Two little feet,
Rosy and bare;
Two chubby hands,
Folded in prayer;

Heavy with sleep;
Silvcry sweet voice.

Horace Greeley once said that the re-
suit of the spring elections showed the
direction Of the political wind. This
must be cold comfort to the Republicans.
So far the returns Of every local election
yet held have shown large Democratic
gwins and in numerous instances sweep
ing Democratic victories. The ball be-
gan to roll in this State with q Demo-
cratic sweep in the Eighteenth Senate
rial district, where only three months
previous Republican had been
elected by majority of some
seven thousand votes. From that
time on in city and county cleo
tiOns the Democratic victories have been
recorded SO regularly as to become tri-
