The Raiiroai Trust.

The story about the new company to
control all the railroads OF the United
States may or may not be true. If it is
not true to-day it will be tomorrow. 1t
is merely the last. inevitable step in a
process that has been going on steadily
since our railroad system began and
that has been making more rapid pro-
gress in the past few months than ever
before
If Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan, Mr.. Will
lam X. Vanderbilt, Mr. James ]. Hill,
Mr.. Edward u. Hartman, Mr. George
]. Could, Mr.. John d. Rockefeller, Mr..
Jacob III. Schiff and Mr.. James Still
thors of this scheme, should undertake
to control all the railroads of the Uni
ted States, they could do it without any
trouble. The only question is whether
they think the time has yet come to
take the step.
The railroad system of the United
States was capitalized last year at
twelve billion enc hundred and sixty
five million three hundred and twenty
seven thousand eight hundred and for
ty-nine dollars. That is over twelve
times the bonded national debt of the
United States. 1t is four times the debt
of Great Britain. 1t is equal TO the
capital of dozen billion-dollar trusts.
1t represents over hundred and twen
ty OF the hundred million-dOliar trusts
that were considered the monsters of
finance Il few years ago.
But the railroads are not so unman-
ageable when they are approached by
the right men in the right way. OF
their total capitalization the stock rep
resents only So, 40. 1S1, ISL. of which a
majority, giving 4 controlling interest,
would amount to less than S2,S15, ,OO0,
600. As many railroad stocks are sell
ing far below par, it is probable that 4
majority could be bought for $1,000
900, ,o0oS
But it is not necessary for Mr.. Nor
gan, Mr.. Rockefeller and their asso-
ciates to own Il majority of the stock.
When the late Cornelius Vanderbilt
died it was found that lie owned less
than one per cent of the stock of the
New York Central. the typical Wander
bilt road With 100000, GOO in cash,
their skill in manipulation and their
control of banks, industrial enterprises
and financial agencies of all sorts, the
members OF the proposed syndicate
would have no trouble in securing the
mastery of every railroad in the cOun
try.
When the Universal Railroad Trust
comes. whether to-day, tomorrow or
next week, it will handle revenues more
than twice as great as those of the ma
tional government and employ ten
times as many men Us the United States
keeps in its army on n war footing.

New Jerseys Income from Trusts.

The charter fee paid TO New Jersey
by the United States Steel Corporation

mated that the treasury of the State
will this year receive 81, 100000 from
the trusts domiciled there alone. includ-
ing fees paid on filing certificates of

costs of the State government are less
than S3,ON0,O0O yearly. In other words,

In Memory Of Esther A SiutIer.

Esther a. Stutlcr was born in the
state of Ohio, May 20 1893. and died
% Kincheloe. Harrison county, West
Virginia, August 30, 1901 aged IS
years and three months. She was con.
ycrted and joined the Methodist Epis.
cupal church about 1919 was married
10 William Stutler in $3.50. Soon al.
ter their marriage they moved to
kincheloe, in Harrison county, where
they raised a large family Of children,
some Of which had passed over the
river before their mother. a number
OF them with their father are left to
mourn their loss.
Sister Stutler for some time perhaps
after they moved u West Virginia did
not attach herself To any church but
finally joined the Methodist church at
Big Isaac in Doddridge county. She
has been member Of the church most
Of the time for fifty years but on ac-
count Of feeble health and not being
convenient to a church she bad not the
opportunity Of attending church as
much as she desired, but all through
her life she developed a Christian
character by her every day life and
her charitable acts. In sickness she
was an exception. II was scarcely
ever too bad or she too unwell TO adj
minister TO the wants OF those that
we're sick about her, though always
delicate in health for a number Of
years. She has been a great sufferer
Her life at times almost seemed a
burden, yet she bore 1t all wi h pa
thence as with Job of old, waiting for
her change to come. While she leaves a
host OF relatives and friends to mourn
their loss, it is her infinite and eternal
gain. Those that knew her best
learned to love her most. She rests
from her labors and her works do fol.

 When buying q cow, we should use the same judgment as we do when buying a horse. \ small scrub horse will sell for $50 to $60; an ordinary farm or driving horse will sell for $1OO to $11O; but if we want a good draft horse. or d good roadster, we pay $15O to $2OO. and d good horse will readily sell for this amount, be- cause they are bred to perform the work they are bought for.
