SAVING TIME

The man who makes two blades of
grass grow where there had been but one
is proverblally public beneiaetor. SINH
iarly, perhaps, the man or the agency
that adds to the ease of life or the facility
OF Its active operations deserves recoe-
milton. Such, in effect, is the accom-
pllshment of the Pennsylvania Railroad
III Its new service to and from the West.
and the fact that it is corporation, seek
ing primarily to increase its revenues.
need not detract from the acknowledo.
ment.
io most persons, perhaps, the sensa-
tlonal reduction of the New York Chicago
running time to eighteen hours appeals in
much the same way as record breaking
automobile trip-an interesting and
somewhat exciting achievement. But it
Is much more. 1t brings the commercial
centre OF the Middle West three or four
hours nearer TO Philadelphia and New
YORK; and this saving of precious time is
multiplied infinitely through its effect
upon business activities and inlercom-
munication.
Once more, and conclusively, the Penn
sylvanIa Railroad has proved its title to
the term Standard pa title won in the
most intense competition for supremacy
IN equipment and operation. Some of
the policies of the management in the
past have proved mistaken but no one
can question that in physical results, such
as improved construction aud progressive
schedules, the Pennsylvania sets the pace
for all its rivals. Ediforiai IL Phila. North

As matter of fact there is no good
reason why these elaborate and detailed
compilations of innumerable petty ex-
penditures should be complied at all.
They are all a matter of record in the
Treasury Department and no one ever
reads the reports themselves. No busi-
ness house regards it as necessary to print
transcript of its entire expenditures for
the year which can always be ascertained
by consulting the proper books and no
one has thus far advanced any good rea-
son for the governments doing SO. The
extravagant waste of money, resulting
from provisions inserted by Congress in
every bill authorizing government
publication, that each and every MEM
ber of Congress shall have from 30 to 100
copies, absolutely irrespective OF the
appropriateness of the publications for
general distribution is enormous.

favorable for its being div sion point

pretty sure TO happen un.ess a spirit
OF antagonism toward the road should

toward the Western Pacific. that is a
very remote possibility.
We are also informed that contracts
for the construction of the road across
Nevada may be let this fall and work
on the tunnels prosecuted during the
winter. If the contracts are let this
fall there will be large number of mon
employed during the winter on the
