RETIREMENT OF RAILWAY LINES.

The great United States Steel Cor
poration has already booked enough or
ders for steel rails to keep its mills run
ming at full capacity for the year 1908.
This. it is stated, is partially due to the
discovery by a number Of railroads that
In their haste to get the heaviest mod
ern locomotives and other equipment
they had neglected to provide for heay-
Hence, these railroads must as soon as
possible relay large mileage with
ninety and 100-pound rails.
The outlook is for 6 large amount of
work in the betterment of lines. Rail
road managers have discovered that
their equipment is inadequate and in
improved the demand is for better IA
cilitjss on lines already in operation
rather than in extensions of mileage. 1t
would seem in tie present situa-
ton that such policy is a wise one.
It is expected that several hundred
millions Of dollars will be expended in
Improving and building lines of rail-
way this year. 1t has been announced
that the Rock Island corporation has
ordered 225 new locomotives, involving
an immense expenditure, an outlay that
would have staggered the oldest engi-
neer when the railroad was first estab-
iished-and he is still living to wonder
over 1t. The Pennsylvania road has
decided to order and place upon its line
5000 tons of nickeied-steel rails for
curves at an expenditure of s31o,oOO.
These are but two items indicating that
betterments will largely figure in the
outlay of roads.
The Improvement and better equip
ment of lines already constructed Will
make greater showing in the earnings
and dividends than anything new that
could be inaugurated by the railways OF
the United States.

shortening its main line about sixteen
miles between Carroll and Council
Bluffs, by using the Al miles Of branch
track from Carroll to Harlan, and build

With the Bluffs. This would cut Deni-

towns out of the main line, and be
bad slam for them, but if it seems ex-

much sentiment as to these things. Be

aspirations that may be found in the

Undoubtedly the uncompromising
protectionists do not know it, but they
are putting in the best work that is be-
ing done today for the election of a
democratic president and congress and
a general overhauling of the tariff
which would be little short of disas-
ter to the business of the country.

Charms of Yesterday.

1t is not far to yesterday.
And there we turn our eyes
To where the good, glad memories
In pleasing pictures rise.
The faded roses of today
Grow red and rich with dew.
And where gray clouds are spreadin
now
We see the skies of blue
Just down the way is yesterday;
There sunshine always beams:
Today we close our eyes and see
Our yesterday in dreams;
Today we hear the long dead song,
And now we understand
Its cadence and know why it made
Our yesterday all grand.
"A little way to yesterday;
Today may have its fears,
Yet yesterday is filed with smiles,
Tomorrow has It's tears.
Today-tomorroW- of them
When we can find the way
That leads us to the golden land.
The land Of Yesterday?
1t is not far to yesterday.
With glamour of the rose,
With haunting echo of the song
That thrilled us to the close.
Tomorrow and today will lose
Their darkness and their gloom,
And each will soon be yesterday,
With melody and bloom.

IN DEFENSE OF BOYS.

IOaTIUII heTdIu.I
We take no stock in the statement
that boys of today are worthless as
compared with those of twenty years
ago. There is just as much character
and industry in the boyhood of today
as ever and the average American boy
is equal to the more complex demands
made on the young manhood of today.
1t may please old croakers to decry
present day boyhood. but we believe
that there has been an evolution in the
race and this is revealed in the incip-
lent manhood of the present. OF course
there are worthless boys in every COM
munity, but they are smaller propor-
ton than ever before.
