RAILROAD COMMISSION.

The Railroad Commission is in session.,
and is considering important matters.
At the last session of the Commission,
the Wilmington and Weldon railroad was
ordered to reduce passenger rates to :
and 21a cents. he Commission refused
on the North Carolina branch of the
Southern railway, and left open the de
cision as to reduction on the Raleigh and
Castor.
The injustice of this decision, and the
plain favoritism. have been widely com
mented upon. When we reflect that the
North Carolina road earns ST,115 per
mile while the Wilmington and Weldon
earns 1921 per mile. there is no sur
prise that the Wilmington and Weldon
authorities protest against the discrimi
nation that is arbitrary, unjust and not
based upon equity or justice. The nal
eigh and Castor earns $5.6S2 per mile.
Think of it! The Commission promptly
decides not to cut down the rate on the
road that pays more than any other in
the State, leaves the big road paying the
next highest for consideration. and SLABS
Il big reduction on the road earning the
least amount per mile of the three. Why:
we believe that all the strong railroads
should be fed out of the same spoon, and
that III reducing rates the reduction
should first be made on the road that is
earning the most money, and that roads
that are not paying Wei ought not tC
be Teduced at all.
- three of the States bic systems
ought to reduce passenger rates, and /:
reduction could be made on them with
out denying their stockholders good divi

told of his devotion to his pipe, the pub
lie accepted DR.. Schweninger's assertion
when he said there was no reason why
Bismarck should not reach the age Of
30 years.
1t appears that the eX-Chancellor's
death was not precipitated by sudden
complications. but was rather the cul-
mination of chronic diSeaseS-neuralgia
of the face and inflammation of the veins

which might have been expected
from him. The beginning Of the end
dates from July Goth, when the Prince

markable Men Of the Century.
Prince Otto Eduard Leopold Bis
marck-Schonhausen, was born Of an old
noble family of the Mark" GBranden-
burg at Schonhauden. April 1st, 1919.
He was created a Count. September

PRINCE BISMARCK.

The death Of Prince Bismarck, an ac
count of which appears Whe re-
moves from the stage a man VINO mas
nlaved the most conspicuous part since
Napoleon Ronaparte. The only man
who might contest first place with him
was Gladstone.
The comparison Of the two most nota-
Bile statesmen of modern times Is an
old but scarcely fruitful one. 1t Is noth-
ipg more than a placing Of opposltes III
juptaposition.
bismarck was p~re-eminently a con
structive statesman. He was one Oh
the worlds great natlon-bullders. ne
had at once the clear grasp of essentials
and infinite patience with details. the
unvielding ~tenacity of purpose and the
Instructive recognition of the tide III the
affairs Of men and Of nations, Which
leads on to fortune. that makes a man
the master. not the servant of has age.
That Bismarck made Germany has
become so much a truison that only
the contentious will question it. And to
make Germany was not an easy matter.
1t required of the man who should set
himself the task tina he warm up to the
welding point Il bakers dozen Of frag
mentary states. cool and Indifferent, If
not actually hostile. 1t required at
once the heat Of a fierce enthusiasm, and
the clear perceptions of an unclouded in
t~ellect. 1t required moreover. be 1t SAID,
Il man not oyer-careful IN counting
costs. nor oveT-scrupulous IN weighing
methods. And the man for the work
was Prince Won Bismarck.
Gladstone wisely followed the most
enlightened public mind in his own coun-
try: Bismarck made the public mind in
his country. both wisely and relentlessly.
Some have objected that Bismarck
must have been Over-rated since Ger
many seemed to suffer no loss of pres
tige when he was displaced by the pres
ent Emperor: not so. 1t really showed
how wonderfully perfect in every parti-
cular was the machinery of State he
had fashioned. The Germany Of to-day
is the Germany of Bismarck, not the
Germany of Emperor William.
1t was Bismarck who, in the Franco
Prussian war. taught the world he
paramount value of readiness to strike
strongly. The lesson has not been
wasted. If Bismarck made Germany,
he also made modern militarism more
than any one man else.
That Bismarck was INSCRIPTIONS is
the charge most often and most serious
~ brought against him. 1t is in Il mea-
sure true. He precipitated the Franco
Prussian war by coloring Il dispatch
from the French Ambassador at Berlin
to the Paris Government. That was I'M
scrupulous. Yet it crippled Franc and
made Germany UNNECESSARILY stronger.
If Bismarck had been more ~scrupulouS.
he had surely been less successful. He
never. SO far rs has appeared, attempt
ed any defense of himself in those par
t~iculars. He did what he started out to
do. He held to his purposes, come what
might. And the verdict of history must
be largely in his favor.
