RAILROADS AND PROSPERITY.

Among the items of increased cost
in the operation of railways not pub
licly known Is the large number of ad-
ditional employees required. The pay
rolls of the railways now carry over
goo 600 more names than they did ten
years ago, and that this is not wholly
on account OF increased mileage is
shown by the fact that the number of
employees per mile OF track has in
creased nearly 10 per cent during that
period.
when this increase In number is
taken into account and added TO the
incrr sed rate in wages II is not
str Ige that the railroads should feel
the burden. This item is wholly apt
form what is known as construction
work. the men employed in that work
not being carried on the operating
rolls. The large amount thus disbursed
by the railroads is in no small degree
responsible for the general prosperity
of the country.
Abundant wages form the main
spring of many industries, and Is sec
ond only to good crops in promoting
commercial welfare. Should the time
come when railroads, because OF de-
creasing revenues. are compelled to re-
duce wages, the effect will be very
much wider than the immediate circle
of railroad employees.

IN WESTINGHOUSE TIME.

II the telephone and the wireless
telegraph had been in operation In Gen
eral Washington time the British
would not have been caught in box
30 frequently by the Americans. Gen
eral Marion would not have been able
10 make many of his raids without be-
ing tripped up, and General Washing
ton on crossing the Delaware might
have met with hot reception. In fact,
IL is doubtful that with modern Inven-
tions in operation the American revo'
tuition would have succeed. In all
countries of the world rebellions are
growing more and more difficult. even
including Colombia and Venezuela, and
this is principally on account OF the
impossibility Of a military minority
getting the best OF the government
force by means OF tricks and surprises,
Yet while this relative power Of the
governments has grown, at the same
time their disposition toward arbitrary
and abusive use of their authority has
declined. Il is true that there are
still occasional instances of usurpation
and tyranny as In the case OF Fin.
land, but the growth OF the influence
of popular thought and desire through
out the entire world, is amazing.
As the power OF governments Is In
creased by mechanical and scientific
appliances, so their conduct toward the
people ought 10 improve, and 1t Is do
ing 80.

to perform this odious duty and ground
n stray match or cigarette stub into

were examined closely and any speck
OF dust was carefully removed.
All this labor and excitement was
caused by the appearance OF Dennis F..
Casey, genial conductor on the
Twenty-second avenue line. His re-
semblance to the general OF Aguinaldo

LICENSING osTEoPATHs.

The legislature ought to enact into

osteopaths to practice the science OF
osteopathy, o: the drugless system of

not afford to be behind the states in
such matters. Where Illinois. India

great many other states In the union
have led, in recognizing osteopathy
New Mexico can afford to follow.

HOW FEELS ON FAST TRAIN.
Engineer Of Flyer Docs Not Regard
u az a Funny Business.

MIR. Magic, an engineer on one OF the
big roads. was asked II there was any
certain trick in the running of fast
trains. says the indianapolis Journal,
and replied.
There is no difference In the run
ming OF the last train and the slow
one. There is one thing that man
should remember. though, and that Is
not TO get nervous, no matter what
turns up before him. The engineers
who run the flyers must also be men
of quick decision. because a little way
ering on their part might cause a had
wreck. Ii II is the engineers opinion
that the train should be stopped he
should do so at once, but II he thinks
he can get through. then all right
throw her open and go through. but
cont hesitate. The success in running
fast trains lies In the one fact of keep
ing your mind on what you are doing
and not getting excited when some
thing turns up Unexpectedly before
you. An engineer must always be on
his guard for going over the ground at
sixty or seventy miles an hour he must
act quickly when the time comes. as
there is no chance to consider what is
best to do.
The engine / run makes from ten
to twelve miles faster time than is or
dinarily run. To be able TO do this
have got to know every foot Of the
road For in knowing the track | can
tell just where the long stretches OF
level road are before get to them, and
In this way can calculate just where
can make up any little time that
might have lost at the beginning OF the
trip. In some places in making n run
| will go away ahead of my schedule,
but what have gained here | will lose
on some other part of the road that is
not so good.
I'm making fast runs II is in the
stops and slow-downs where an engine
lcses time. You take. for instance, n
train that has to be brought To a dead
standstill; 1t will require AS high as
ten minutes before II can be got well
under way again. and when you are
going sixty miles an hour ten minutes
counts a great deal.
1T seems singular, but to person
who Is associated with engines all the
time they almost seem alive. This Is
on account of the sensitive machinery
about them. You cant any more say
what kind OF time an engine Is going TO
make when you start out with IL than
you can tell how race horse Is going
to run. Some days wnen you take the
machine out II will worry along, and
you can't get II 10 running right during
the whole trip, and then at other time 5
II will start off perfectly smooth and
you will have no trouble whatever.
The weather has much to do with the
way an engine works. When the at
mosphere is damp and cold and the oil
is thick the machinery works much
harder than In dry, warm weather.
when the oil remains thin. Then there
is the difference In coal; some engines
will burn one kind better than another.
And the way the wind blows also has
much to do with the speed that is
| made"
