PERMANENT RAILROAD pRosPERr

NEWT RAILROAD PROSPERITY.
From all over the country word
that the railroad business is bigger and
better than ever before. This in itself
Is a most satisfactory situation, particu-
larry as it means employment for an
army of laborers at good wages and the
constant distribution through channels
of trade of large sums of money. The
outlook for railroad business is, further
more, according to the most competent
observers, such as promises a continued
Improvement without any imminent
danger of a backward lapse.
The freight traffic manager of one Of
Gently expressed his confidence in the
lasting character of the present railway
prosperity, basing it upon the fact that
every station on his line east of the
~Alleghenies has shown n marked i'm
provement in the amount Of traffic
handled and the fact that the improved
condition Of business is not confined to
a few leading articles, but is general
in its character. The same authority
adds that, while business is considerably
in excess of last year, railroads in gen.
eral have not yet received a proportion
ate benefit from the improvement in
t~rade-first, because of the prevailing
low rates of transportation, and, second,
because of increased expenses due to
higher prices of all kinds of railway
supplies.
Along the same line the general west
ern manager of another system operat-
ing west of Chicago states that during
the past six months western roads have
delivered in Chicago the largest num-
Der Of carloads of grain, with one ex-
ception, ever delivered in the same
period, and that freight traffic between
the Mississippi river and the east is
limited only by the capacity of the
roads. A Chicago freight agent of a
still larger system has compiled figures
for the business of four recent weeks,
showing a gain Of 400 per cent over the
every railroad entering Chicago needs
more cars to meet shippers demands.
The reports also from both Philadelphia
and Chicago agree that the present
prosperity is due to the growth of traffic
of all kinds.
1t is needless to point out the fact
that If present prosperity in the
various lines of business were purely
speculative the railroads would not be
overtaxed with the transportation of
goods. On the contrary the increased
traffic experienced in all sections of the
country is an u%ndeniable evidence Of an
increased output of farm, factory and
mill and of the increased consuming ca
pacity of the wage-earners in the great
cities who are now fully employed and
constitute q profitable market, whereas
during the hard times they were more
or less idle and unable to take up the
curtailed product of the few factories in
partial operation.
AS long as the mills and factories are
kept busy and the working men have
money to meet the necessities and COM
forts of life the railroads will be kept
crowded with traffic. The railroads sim
ply reflect general business conditions,
and railroads are made prosperous only
by prosperity in all the different trades
and industries.

DOMINlCA'S PAPER RESTORED

sANTo DOMINGO, Sept. 16.-The gov
ernment's proclamation yesterday destroy
ing the value Of paper money created such
violent opposition that the ministers today
proclaimed the acceptance of paper at the
same rates as silver, namely, IS to 81 Ameri-
can. This concession was made by Jiminez,
who proposed repudiating paper money.
The cabinet is discussing the feasibility
OF holding the presidential election i'm
mediately, instead of in November, as pro-
vided by the constitution, and 1t will prob
ably announce tomorrow that the election
is to take place this month. as Jiminez is
the only candidate. The threatened riots

II seems inconceivable that the dis
trust which Is said TO have developed

p%ortunity offers demonstrate anew our
friendly interest in all the American
republics and our earnest purpose to
protect them from any foreign aggres-

SOFTLY SINGING AS 1T GOES.

Through a vale the river flows
Gliding ever,
Pausing never.
Softly singing as 1t goes.
Ripping meath the willow trees
Wavelets blending,
Cadence lending
Murmuring gently to the breeze.
Yonder swallow fitting round
CHANGING hither,
Darling thither-
BY the tender spell is bound.
"Happy river, tell me, pray
Tell me fairly,
Tell me truly
Why thou joyest on thy way!'
But to answer 1t forbore:
Still u~nheeding
All my pleading,
Rhythmic waves caress'd the shore.

PROSPECTIVE REVOLUTION.
A New Invasion of the English In
dustriaI Field.

A New Invasion of the English In
dustriaI Field.
Philadelphia Record.
There Is a prevalent belief that the COL
lapse Of the great strike of English mechan-
les inaugurated by the Associated Society
of Engineers has resulted in a complete
revision Of the labor laws and customs in
Great Britain; but this impression is not
quite correct. 1t is true that notifications
have been made whereby employers are
permitted to run their own establishments,
instead OF allowing themselves to be con-
trolled entirely by the Associated Society Of
Engineers; but Fairplay's latest resume Of
the report OF the Labor department of the
Board OF Trade shows that f~ifty-one fresh
trade disputes occurred in July, involving
10, O22 workers, and sixty-three old and new
disputes were settled, involving 14,37S
workers. or these eighteen were decided in
favor OF the workers, nineteen in favor of
the employers and twenty-three were COM
promised.
The London Engineer says that a large
American manufacturing concern having
many contracts in Great Britain is about to
establish a branch of its works In England
with American machinery, methods and
superintendent, and that the experiment
will be watched with keenest interest on
account OF the labor problem. 1t is antici-
pated that English workman will not take
kindly to American methods, and 1t is
thought that the company may be compelled
to charter a large steamship to transport a
thousand American workmen to England.
1t is believed that there are many English
and Scotch mechanics in this country who
are thoroughly trained in our methods, and
who would be glad to return to the old
country in the employ of the company. This
move would checkmate the English labor
unions, and would introduce an entirely
new complication.
The Introduction of American workmen
and American labor-saving machinery into
England Is destined to have a far reaching
influence on the labor question in that
country.

The Ohio democrats are not to open
their campaign until September 30, al
though by that time their state ticket
will have been nominated for over a
month, Some politicians will probably
conclude that Ohio managers are vast
ing time. If conditions in Ohio are like
those in Nebraska the politicians are
simply submitting gracefully to the pop
ulnr demand for short cnmnnigns.

1t may be Of interest to prospective
applicants for employment under the
census bureau to know that thus far
out of 1920 persons who have been ex-
amined only 700 have passed. For
eliminating the ineligibles these census
examinations appear to be successful
from every point of view except that Of
the applicants who fall under the lines.

Activity of the Trust Promoter.

VIIITuedPUl1S NIISS
1t Is evident that the gentle promoter is
not afraid of laws, politicians or breakers.
He goes right on organizing his great COM
bines as IL there could be no hereafter. In
spite of the pressure brought to bear against
the trust movement, it is probable that it
will not cease until every industry worth
combining has passed through that pro-
cess. 1t must be that that point has been
reached. Meanwhile the opposition Is
gaining strength and it is not unreasonable
to predict the early shrinking Of many Of
the combines now represented OF paper by
figures that spell millions.

Lord Rosebery speaks of the railroad
presidents of the United States as little more
than equivalent to English dukes, but who
travel in a style that no English duke can
aspire to and> who exercise a control un-
paralleled in Great Britain. II these men,
bers Of the American aristocracy Of wealth
80 far surpass in power their British con-
tomporories, one reason is that they are far
more active in doing the community services
than are English dukes. 1t is also a fact
that American railroad presidents retain
this power practically only SO long as they
are equal to the great executive demands
upon them.
