A statement recently issued by
the general office of the Balti-
more & Ohio gives a very faint
idea of the highly impaired and
manifold improvements which
have been consumated within the
past year by that rapidly advanc-
ing system.
"During the calendar year of
1904 the construction depart
ment of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad has changed 1885 miles
of track, built b5.5 miles of new
road and s6.35 miles of second
track. This work includes the
construction of the Point Pleas
ant, Buckhannon & Tygart's VAL
ley railroad, from Lemley juno
ton to Buckhannon, w. Va, a
distance of 1916 miles; the second
track between New Castle juno
ton and Strouthers, Chic, dis
tance of 14.2 miles, double track
from Haselton to Niles, Ohio, a
distance of s.5 miles; from Niles,
Ohio, to Cuyahoga Falls, an en-
tirely new double track line has
been built a distance of 42.s
miles, and changes of alignment
and grades have been made and
second track constructed from
Flushing, Ohio, to Fairport, Ohio,
a distance of 9.15 miles. All OF
this work ispracticalIy completed,
although some of it will be in
use before January first. 1t has
not as yet been decided what
will be done during next year.

That weakness is the disposition
to worship wealth wherever found,
and to grant the requests of those
who make display of luxury.
This tendency has been specially
prevalent in the past few years of
remarkable n4terial prosperity.
Dollars have been plentiful in
many places and they come to be
considered above the man OF the
woman. This tendency is all too
great throughout much of our coun-
try Too much toadying to wealth
and its accompauiments has led to
the dissemination of false ideals
This spirit, iffostered, leads to COR
ruption in business, corruption in
politics, and a general relaxation of
the sense of honor for;honor's sake
