Are the Packers Receiving Fsis Sisy,

Are the Packers Receiving Fair Sisyf
When the Garfield report on the
business methods Of the packers ap-
peared. after eight months investiga-
tion. It was severely criticised a. |
roundly denounced. After three
months OF publicity II Is significant
that those Who attempted to discredit
II have failed to controvert the figures
contained In that exhaustive docu-
ment. The public is beginning to no
tice this omission. and the feeling is
rapidly growing that the sensational
charges out Of which the Beef In
vestigation" arose we're without foun-
lation. II the ofhcial statements Of
the report are susceptible Of eontra-
ciction. q good many people are row
asking why the facts and figures are
not furnished to contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most Of
the charges contain unfounded sensa-
tional assertions. A naErant example
q this appeared In q recent article in
IN Eastern magazine. to the eject
that forty Iowa banks were forced
70 close their doors In 1904 BY the
Beef Trusts manipulation Of cattle
prices" Chief Clerk Coz. Of the bank
ing department OF the Iowa State Au-
ditors once, has tabulated the list Of
banks given In the magazine article
and has publicly denounced the state
ment as utterly untrue. He gives
separately the reasons for each fail
ure mentioned and ofncially states
tha; they have been caused by unwise
speculatious and by reckless bauking g
methods- II may be well to suspend
Judgment upon the packers until the
charges against them are proved.

FIXING RAILROAD RATES.

Making railroad rates IL like play
ing a game Of checkers or chess. Com
munities to be benefited. producers~
manufacturers or shippers to be aided
represent the pieces used. Every pee
sible move is studied for its eject
ON the general result by skilled trAf--
&c managers. A false move in the
making OF freight rates may mean The
ruin Of = city. Of Q great manufactur-S
Ing interest. OF an agricultural com
munity. Railroads strive to build ~
ali these SO that each may have aA
equal chance in the sharp c0mpsti-
tion Of business. So sensitive to thia
rivalry are the railroads that in ordsS
to build up business alocg theiS linso
they frequently allow the shipper 70
practically dictate rates. Rate nah
ing has been . matter OF developmeat:
OF mutual concessions for mutual
benefit That IL Why the railroads oe
the United States have voluntarily
made freight rates so much lower IN
this country than they arc % the
govsrnment-owned and operated rail-
ways Of Europe and Australia thsy
they are now the lowest transpostS
ton rates In the world.

lines, its nearest approach to a sky
scraper, Queen Anne's Mansions, West

near future include government owner

the opening Of new ones, the laying of
electric tramways, radical rehousing of
the poor, and the construction of new
important public buildings,among them

The time has arrived when changed
conditions in great centres of popula-
tiOn demand different system OF
transportation on our trunk lines than
has heretofore existed. Modern steam
locomotives capable of hauling through
passenger and freight trains will still
dominate where units are comparative
~ infrequent and the haul long, but
even for this class of service on roads
with heavy traffic electricity will grad
ually supplant steam as the cost OF
producing current decreases in central
power stations and the cost of equip
ment is lowered-due to chcapened
methods Of manufacture, the use OF
water power. and the invention of Ia.
lbor saving and more efficient devices.
The travelling public within what may
he termed the suburban zones are no

cars hauled by heavy locomotives at

In other words, the steam railroad, IL
it is successfully to hold and multiply

Church Festival panic.

The combination of Santa Claus
whiskers and Christmas tree candles
gained another victim in Montclair.
Frederick Patterson was the Santa
Claus at the annual Christmas festival
OF the Sunday-school of st. James
Episcopal Church. While passing out
the presents to the children his long
beard brushed against some of the
candles decorating the tree. they
blazed up at once, badly burning him
on the hands and face. Two tiremen
who had been sent to the church to
guard against such an occurrence
emptied the contents of two hand gren-
AIDES over Patterson's face. putting out
the IRE. About 300 people were pres
emit, mostly children. When Patter-
sons beard blazed up there was wild
stampede to the door, in which Patter-
son was knocked down and several
children were Slightly injured.

RAILROAD Acciaenle-

1t is hard to understand the compla.
cency with which the American people
tolerate the reckless disregard of life
that may fairly be said to characterize
the railroads of this country. Each
year the collected statistics OF the dead
and wounded rival the harvest of a
war between great nations In 1902
the injured numbered 64.662, and the
killed $500. Think of-it! Men, women
and children, enough to people such a
city as Wilmington, stricken down be-
cause somebody makes mistake. In
1895 passenger travel was only FIVE
sixth as heavy as it is to-day, but the
list of killed and wounded was little
more than half so great as the holo.
caust of last year With each accident
the neighboring community is aroused,
When an attempt is made to indict d.
rectors or president, the public
smiles. and the cynicism is justified.
Yet in nine cases out Of ten the fault is
due TO incompetency tolerated, if not
countenanced. By those in authority.
When an army meets with disaster
the general may blame his subordin-
ates, but the nation holds him to ac-
count. In railroading, as in war, IN
efficiency is crime, and as the gen
eral is absolutely responsible for his
command, the president and directors
must be made to answer to the public.
The conviction Of single $25. 000-a-
year man might send d shudder around
every directors table in the country,
but also it might cut down railroad ac-
cidents by third. -Leslie's Monthly.

The pledge that after death. each
would be crAmated and that their ashes
should be placed in Jars, to stand side
by side, made by DR.. Clarence Willard
Butler and his wife, of Montclair, was
carried out when the DOCTORS ashes
followed his wife's to Adrian, Mich,
to her childhood's home. Last March,
after lingering illness with cancer,
Mrs. Butler died. Her last wish was
that her body be cremated in accord
ance with her agreement with her de-
voted husband. Her body was sent
by DR.. Butler to Fresh Pond, i.
l., and from there the ashes were
shipped to her former home in
Adrian, Mich. Soon after Mrs. But
ser's death her husband became suf-
ferer from cancer of the jaw. He made
every effort to check the disease, used
the X-ray and radium, but without
effect, and he died. His last request,
like that of his wife, was that his body
be cremated in the same place where
hers had been three months before and
that his ashs be shipped to Adrian,
Mich. TO be placed in a jar beside
bis wifes.
