Would there not be more satlsfa elton in

Never believe that one who criticised
the causes OF such a catastrophe as the
Lake Shore wreck would be regarded In
railway circles as pitiably ignorant and
would be told that every preeaution had
been taken and the accident was unavold-
able. They always are. But the acct

which might have averted the wreck was
not taken.

"Economics" a th. ouirinaI.

for the grumblers. They certainly pay
$4,000, 900 francs (cs4o. 0o0) yearly to the

get-they SAYS two balls ut the royal
palace. The king and queen never pat
ronixe music or the drama. never enter
q private house, never pay visits. never
apparently interest themselves In any
OF the one hundred and ono social or
charitable affairs of the court set. So
the people pretend that when their
majesties do issue from their oriental
seclusion" the queen should at least
have on a new costume; but. alas. they
are usually disappointed.
To probe the discomfort still further.

Marketing Potato Crops.

In line with the classic case OF the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley OF Yale University In his book
on Railroad Transportation, Is the case
OF the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President Tuttle OF the
Boston and Maine railroad before the
Senate committee on interstate CON-
merce. Nothing could better show how
q railroad works for the interest Of the
localities which II serves.
A main dependence Of the farmers OF
the Aroostook region Is the potato
crop. aggregating annually eight to ten
million bushels, which ind a market
largely In Boston and the adjacent
thlckly settled regions OF New England.
The competition of cheap water trans.
portation from Maine 10 all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these potatoes
always at q very low level.
Potatoes are also q considerable out
nut OF the truck farms OF Michigan,
their normal market being obtained In
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities OF that region.
Not many years ago fayoring sun
and rains brought a tremendous yield
OF potatoes from the Michigan fields.
At normal rates and prices there would
have been a glut OF the customary mar.
kets and the potatoes would have rotted
on the farms. To help the potato grow.
ers the railroads from Michigan made
unprecedentedly low rates on potatoes
10 every readable market. even carry
Ing them in large quantities to a place
SO remote as Boston. The Aroostook
growers had to reduce the price on
their potatoes and even then could not
dispose OF them unless the Boston and
Maine railroad reduced It's already low
rate. which Il did. BY means OF these
low rates, making possible low prices,
the potato crops OF both Michigan and
Maine were finally marketed. Every
body eats potatoes, and that year ev-
sTybody had all The potatoes No
wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous TO
the railroads, had they been applied
to the movement OF all potatoes AT all
times. TO all places. they helped their
patrons 10 hnd markets then. The
Boston and Maine railroad suffered
decrease In It's revenue from potatoes,
but II enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crop and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for the
varied supplies which the railroads
brought 10 them. III the making OF
rates were subject TO governmental adj
iustment such radical and prompt &c.
ton could never have been taken, be-
cause II Is well established that II
rate be once reduced by n railroad
company It cannot be restored through
the red tape OF governmental proceed.
ure. II the Michigan railroads and
the Boston and Maine railroad had
been subjected 20 governmental limi'
tation they would have felt obliged 10
keep up their rates as do the railroads
Of France and England and Germany
