MODERN APPLICATION OF AN OLD FABLE.

Mr.. z. H. Hartman has evolved a
new plan, which in his Judgment offers
the only possible salvation for the
railroad situation. He would wipe our
entire railway legislation off the stat
ute books and begin all over. 1t was
after a trip extending over three
months and covering the immense rail-
way holdings of the Hartman inter
ests that he arrived at this conclusion
According to Mr.. Hartman a great
public need is the legal right of rail
roads "to make combinations and
agreements that would permit the rail-
roads to carry the traffic of the country
by the lines which can give the quick
est, the best and the cheapest service
He thinks that should all restrictions
which now surround the movement and
operation of railroads be removed, rail-
road managers could then arrange
matters SO that traffic would move
along natural lines" and adds that the
time has come when the public can and
should trust the railroads and give
them an opportunity"
The average citizen will question this
altruistic attitude Of Mr.. Hartman. No
one, however, will deny his statement
that the removal of all restrictions
would permit the railway managers 70
get together and arrange matters" In
fact, 1t is on this very point that the
fears of the public are conferred Mr.
Harriman's appeal to the country to
place implicit trust in the railway mag
rates has an allegorioal precedent en-
tremely unfavorable to its acceptance
the old lion who gave out Information,
presumably in an interview, that he
was sick unto death and summoned the
animals to hear his last will and testa-
ment. Goats, calves and sheep went
into his cave in response to his request
to receive his last wishes. The fox,
however, refused to enter as requested,
and gave as his reason that all tracks
and hoofmarks led in while none were
to be seen coming out. Until the ami
mails who have already entered your
cave come out again. replied the fox to
the lions invitation, 81 prefer to remain
in the open air."
The moral to the old fable reads: ut
is easier to get into the enemys tolls
than out again" Mr.. Harrin,an's re-
yival of the old lions little scheme
scarcely needs moral. 1t is too OBJ
yious

The Census of shipbuiIding.
Minneapolis Journal. ]


| There are some points of interest H.
/ the census bulletin on shipbuilding in
the United States notably that the very
rapid growth of the industry which i:
Echieny occupied with the construction
of vessels for the coasting trade, has
brought about the investment of capital
to such a large extent that the new
yards are prepared TO take orders for
much outside business.
The coasting vessel business the
yards have all to themselves as there is
no foreign competition, and, according
to the census bulletin, which is pre-
pared by an expert, the reduction in
the cost Of iron and steel has effected a
substantial reduction in the cost of
construction, and it is no wonder,
therefore, that MIR. Hill can boast that
he is having two 20,000-ton freighters
built at an American shipyard at as
low cost as they can be built in Eu-
building industry in the census year
was 77,362,701, an increase in ten years
of about S50,000,000.
There is only slight Increase in
wooden shipbuilding, while nearly all
the nav investments have been In iron
and steel constructive works, which
have increased from Is to A. 1t is no
ticeable that the tonnage constructed
in the census year was greater than
during any preceding year in our his
tory except in 1854 and 1855, when we
were beating the world with our SUI
perior wooden ship construction, which
was displaced by the advent of the age
of iron and steel. The construction of
steel steamships in our yards in 1901
was so per cent greater than in the
census year, and these yards represent
an investment of from S5,000,000 to
$10,0O0,00o each. This country is pre-
pairing to become the greatest ship
building country of the world.
Practically u long step has been ia
ken toward this shipbuilding suprem-
acy thru the Morgan steamship merger.
which does not seem so likely to go to
pieces as some people seem to think. In
England they talk as if Brittania's rule
over the waves were ended, but that is
evidently 4 mistake. for the chief COM
petitors of the steamship combine are
the Cunard. Allan and the French lines,
and the tramp steamers are always
ready for business. Thus the combine
expects TO make profit by organizing
the business on strictly economical
basis, preventing unnecessary saitings
of vessels on Improbable voyages and
adjusting the supply Of tonnage to the
demand, While the competition, which
is inevitable, will effectually prevent
excessive freight rates.
A feature of the combination is that
the fleet is under American control.
and, altho all but one of the constituent
lines is under a foreign flag, the new
vessels to be built will be constructed
In American yards, at least the agree
ment with the White Star reserves this
right to the parties in control. while re-
pairs may be made in British yards.
There is talk of great depression In the
ship building industry, but the depres-
sion is not very apparent to the naked
eve

HEIRS OF HE .CopPERHEAps. !,

The notable memorial address of to-
cay was delivered by President Roose-
Welt at Arlington cemetery. The presi-
cent delights in preaching. In his
writing, his speaking and his polite:
he seems always to be actuated by soma
high moral purpose. Today, when he
faced throng of old veterans of the
civil war among those acres upon acres
of head stones which mark the graves
OF thousands of brave soldiers killed in
the defense Of their country, the presi-
cents noble heart was stirred at the
thought of those who falsely traduce
another American army fighting it's ma
vigor of expression which Theodore
Roosevelt can never escape he paid his
respects to these present day traducers
while delivering his eulogy of the he
roes of the past.
President Roosevelt cited to the old
veterans the fact that they had been
similarly attacked at home while fight
ing at the front in 81. He quoted some
% the expressions then used such as
"Lincoln's hirelings," etc, and con-
Guided: Verify, these men who thus
foully slandered you have their heirs
in the Philippines, who fix their eyes on
individual deeds of wrong so keenly
that at last they become blind to the
great work of peace and freedom that
has already been accomplished"
This tendency to judge the whole
work of the Philippine army by some
enc atrocious act was specially con-
demned by the president. He cited the
atrocities of lynching in an otherwise
well-ordered community which in no.
wise represented the people to be an
aggregation of bloodthirsty barbarians.
They We're stirred to cruelties by some
artocious act of another. Likewise in
the Philippines the natives have disre-
off the arms and heads of soldiers while
protesting to be friendly, have led
whole detachments into impenetrable
increases or to destruction from am
bush while protesting to act as friends.
n soldier sharing his ration with a hun
cry native may expect a knife to be
thrust into his back for his kindness
1t was under these provocations that
individual acts have been committed in
explained the president
and, While he greatly deplored them, in
no way attempting to excuse them, he
appeals to his countrymen: Let not
the effortless and the interrupted rail
oyermuch at strong men who with
blood and sweat face years of toll and
days and nights of agony, and at need |
lay down their lives in remote tropic
Jungles to bring the light of civilization
into the worlds dark places" The
speech is a. very able one
and will entertain as well as inform
eny one for the reading.

CONN en- SENSE UPON THE BENIGN.

In the trial of collector for en-
bezzlement recently in Chicago Judge
Dunno delivered an opinion which will
be of Interest to collectors and employ
ers. The judge refused to convict the
embezzler of the crime alleged against
him. 1t was shown by the evidence
that the collector who was employed by
a packing house firm had been paid a
salary of but SIS weekly. He collected
about $4,000 weekly. He was a good
man" and had found other employment
at 500 per month before the prosecu-
ton was brought. Commenting upon
this fact the judge said:
when you gentlemen ask man to
take such responsible position at such
small salary and where he is called
on in the performance of his duty to
collect large amounts of money, know
ing that he has wife and two small
children, you are simply inviting him to
commit a crime. or at least exposing
him to temptation. I cannot permit him
to be sent to the penitentiary. / will fix
the amount of the shortage at $14 and
sentence him to the county Jail for
thirty days. / believe West is good
man. Had his salary been even So more
he would never have been exposed to
temptation and the strength of the in
vitation to commit a crime would have
been lost on him."
Assuming the particular case of the
packers against their collector to have
been lacking in justice and to have
been properly decided the inference is
not to be drawn from Judge DUNES
opinion that the failure of an employer
to pay reasonable salaries furnishes a
palliation for peculation on the part of
the employee. That collector should
handle money and accept the contin-
gent responsibility at the rate OF one
half of one per cent is manifestly unjust
but injustice will scarcely be considered
an excuse for theft. Judge Dunne's
preachment should not be construed as
q defense of the embezzler, but as a
castigation of the employer whose I'M
Willingness to pay honestly for service
rendered accumulated the temptation
supposed to accompany the handling of
large sums. So far as the criminalty of
the act is concerned the judge made no
palliation but nitigated the sentence of
the offender. In way he protected
poverty against rapacity and power.
There is a growing disposition on the
part of the judiciary to inquire into the
circumstances which surround an Of
tense against the law and modify pun
ishment in cases that seem to call for
cIemency. In the minds of most men
an ethical difference to be considered in
equity, exists between the monstrous
thief who wrecks savings bank and
the one whose necessities aid in urging
him toward a breach of the laws. The
bank wrecker deserves an extended
term of imprisonment but the Judge
would be hard to find who would con-
denim the other to the penitentiary. TO
