RAILWAY POOLING.
President Depsw OF the New York Central
Road Expresses His Views.

President Depsw OF the New York Central
Road Expresses Ills Views.
In reply to the request OF represen-
tative of the Mail and Express for his
views on the question OF the railway
pooling, President Chauncey NJ. Depew
of the New York Central railroad, is
quoted as saying that, In his opinion
there can be no substantial prosperity
In this country until the railroads pros
per, and he does not see how the rail-
roads can prosper If an interminable
rate war is to be waged between them
THE railroad business of the last six
months has been done on the basis OF a
demorallzed rate continued MIR, De-
pew, and while the increase in earn
ings have followed tremendous har-
Will notice that II has been greatest in
gross earnings rather than net. You
must understand, too, that these earn
nigs have followed tremendous har-
vest here and an equally great crop
movement induced by the wheat de
mands Of Europe upon us. Some
statesmen tell us that a pooling law is
too great a power to centrallze in the
hands of any public commission; but
the absence of one is tending on the one
hand to create middleman's monop-
oily as against both producer and con-
sumner, and at the same time to destroy
the main hope OF prosperity for the
railroads. You take the great Greihn.
shippers OF the country and you Will
find them owning their own freight cars,
and thereby getting mileage rates with
which no individual shipper who has
to pay regular rates can compete. The
big shipper now goes to the western
farm with his private freight cars,
states the price that he will give for the
wheat or cattle, as the case may be,
then having dictated to the farmer the
selling price, he turns around and in
the same way dictates to the railroad
the hauling price. This Is the situation
which exists TO large extent to-day.
and to which we are steadily drifting,
"Now." continued Mr.. Depew, 'pros-
perlty, II 1t means anything at all.
means the distribution or wealth among
the many and over large territory. 1t
certainly does not mean the concentra-
ton OF wealth and power in few hands
and in n few large cities The pnolng
legislation which the railroads are now
seeking would establish q uniform rate
throughout the country and bring us
back to the old conditions when the
farmer shipped his produce directly TO
the sales market and based his selling
price on natural conditions rather than
on the arbitrary rate fixed for him by
u monopoly our Populist friends in
the west see IN the pooling bill some
benefit to the railroads, and for that
reason they oppose II, ignoring the fact
that II is of far grehter benefit TO the
farming interests OF the country. One
rate to the east over ali railroads wouid
mean that every farmer would be his
own shipper, and that neither farmer
nor consumer would be at the mercy of
middieman's monopoly"

FABLES

Once there was a Man and he had a
Great Head When he saw an Oppor-
tunity he grasped 1t and the Opportu-
nifty never got Away,
So after the man diligently COINED the
news from the Klondike for several
months he became possessed of an Idea
and went to manufacture patent sheet
iron tents, which could be folded up
into a very small Space and We're inde-
structible by fire as Well as protection
against Polar bears, 1t seemed q Good
Thing.
And very soon large consignment of
these Tents was on its way TO Klondike
and he rejoced. Some weeks later u
large and ill-mannered Person came
into the Mans office inqurlng II he
fitted out miners for the Klopdlke,

But the ill-mannered Stranger fell
upon him and licked him numerously
and bruised his Nose so that Blood did

his face and otherwise paid Attention TO
him,

speak, that this Objection Was raised
by the mention of the Tents, Were
they no good?"
Good said the Stranger, at is SO
cold up there that IL you touch the

Then the Man understood that there

So he baked on a crowded Crossing
and delayed traffic for Two hours. His
rebellion attracted the Attention OF
many People and his Employers heard
Of 1t.

see that / am no Ordinary animal and
will do with me as BELTS my Superior

But his Employers were annoyed and
as he was Bony Beast anyway they
sold him to Glue factory and put on
