The Railroads..
Wall Street journal.

Wall street journal
So important have become the rail-
roads TO civilization that their con-
struction ana operation are not only
questions of national policy, but even
OF international contention. The re-
cent war between Russia and Japan
was largely a struggle over the Man
churla Railway. The possession OF
the railroad. was the strategic key, not
merely TO military situation but to
a commercial situation. The country that
possesses it controls in great measure
the trade OF the orient.
China has made remarkable pro-
gress since the Boxer outrages. At
last she has opened the door or her
oriental seclusion to the CONNER ce and
civilization of the world. The announce
ment which has been made Dy the
Chinese Minister to President Roose-
welt of the policy OF his government in
the construction of railroads marks an
epoch IN the history of China and it
may perhaps be regarded as thousand
mile post in the development of the
human race. China has not only decid-
ed to build railroads but to build them
herself, and this means the opening of
enormous trade to the world. While it
is probable that the population OF
emma has been exaggerated, there is,
of course, no doubt tnst she contains
hundreds OF millions of people
who only need modern means OF
communication to become customers for
the products of the world. Not only is
China to build railroads, but the gov
ernment seems to have been at last
completely converted to the methods OF
western civilization, and is determined
to bring western ideas TO the people as
fast as possible.

The public subscribed, Mr.. Parks's complaint
says for 900 of the stock, paying that sum In

commission of so per cent. Since its organiza-

acted no business whatever, and has failed to
purchase share of trust company stock. But 1t
has paid out $67 600 in salaries and other ex-
penses which disbursements, Mr.. Parks says
constituted a wasteful expenditure of the COM
