EXAMPLE OF CORPORATE GREED
Rights Of People Openly Disregarded
by Pennsylvania Railroad.

Gov. Dawson has addressed the ma
tional senate through Senator Till
man in regard TO the railway and coal
trust that has West Virginia by the
throat.
The response of the interstate COM
merce commission to the Gillespie
resolution showed that the Pennsyl-
vania railroad does not legally own a
controlling part of the stock Of the
Baltimore and Ohio, the Chesapeake
and Ohio, or the Norfolk and Western.
Gov. Dawson is doubtless right in say
ing that the Pennsylvania practically
controls all these lines. This puts
the coal industry of West Virginia,
which is one of the leading industries
of the state, at its mercy, and here,
as elsewhere, monopoly is the parent
OF grave abuses. The Pennsylvania
and its subsidiary lines are in the coal
mining business. The three subsid-
larry lines are the only routes by
which West Virginia coal can get to
market. In making rates the controll-
ing company naturally favors its own
mines of the subsidiary lines as
against those of independent opera
tors. In both cases the best interests
of the people Of West Virginia are
sacrificed to corporate greed.
The disregard shown for the lawful
rights of independent operators is
illustrated by the Red Rock Fuel COM
pany matter. This company has 1000
acres OF valuable coal lands on the
line of the Baltimore and Ohio. II
charged that the road Disseminated
against it in favor of itself and other
shippers and appealed to the inter-
state commerce commission for re-
lief. The commission. after hearing,
found that the Red Rock company's
complaints were just, and ordered the
Baltimore and Ohio to furnish the
facilities needed for taking care of its
business. The road refused, and. in
consequence, the coal company has
had to carry the case to the United
States Circuit court. Meantime the
railway is doubtless making enough
money by its tyrannical course to
more llldu pay ITO VI NiC NC'H'
of the suit and the Red Rock COM
pany is losing more than proportion
ately.
The senate-and If not the senate,
the house-should make a thorough
investigation of the relations between
the PENNSYLVANIA railroad and the os-
tensibly competing lines it is believed
to control, and also OF the alleged
community of interests existing be
tween the Pennsylvania system and
the New York Central system. The
public wishes to know how extensive
and complete railway monopoly has
become and to see the necessary steps
taken speedily to break it up. Under
modern conditions those who control
the railway transportation facilities
of locality or country control its
industrial commercial destiny.-Chi-

ATTAINING SUCCESS IN LIFE.
Have object Clear, and Habitually
Work Toward IL

1t has been said that success con.
sists in getting that at which one
aims, and being happy in it. Each
one should have an ideal OF what is to
be the expression of his or her life.
If this is attained in some degree. such
q life may be called successful. Hence,
the successful man or woman is the
one who has succeeded fairly we'll in
shaping the actual life in accordance
with the ideals Of life. This requires
a strength and persistence that call
for continual struggle. 1t forms the
highest achievement of life. Bulwer
we'll says that the man who succeeds
above his fellows is the one who early
in life clearly discerns his object, and
toward that object habitually directs
his powers.-From Vital Questions

Keeps in Touch with People.

Congressman Calder of Brooklyn,
now serving his first term, is successor
OF Mr.. Baker. who refused to accept a
railroad pass. In order to learn how
he might best please those who send
him to congress he mailed 10000 let
ters 20 his constituents asking for sug-
gestious. In a week he had received
1.400 replies, most of them urging him
to stand by the president as regards
leading measures proposed. Many ask
for information or public documents.
Mr.. Calder is much pleased with the
result of his experiment, which con-
vinces him that his constituents read
the papers closely.

One Reason for MARRIAGE.

The new queen of Norway is not
very well equipped with jewels-that
is, for a queen. As the youngest of
three sisters her share of pretty things
was naturally smaller than those of
the other two The most imposing or
nament of which she can boast is a
diamond necklace left her by her god
mother, the old Duchess of Inverness.
A condition attached to the legacy was
that on no account should 1t pass into
her possession until her wedding day.
II is said that when at last she was
permitted to clasp it about her neck
she said coquettishly to her husband
that he must not take too much credit
TO himself as her bridegroom, for she
felt she must make some sacrifice"
to gain possession of her godmother's
legacy.

CHAPTER VII.-Continued.

Soon he again thrusts half his wiry
body out OF the window. and can be
heard talking to the Jehu, to whom he
probably gives orders, for it will hard

plan has been agreed upon.

The vehicle halts, and as the door
is opened the three men hasten to find
a landing upon the pavement.
You will remain here-all night If
we do not come-pay will be sure"
and the secret agent of the project
shows his silver badge TO the aston
tshed Jehu, who bows and declares
his willingness to stay until Gabriel
blows his trump If necessary, know
the possession of the agent, and that
his license will be revoked. or even
further punishment melted out to him
if he dares disobey.
This way, messieurs," comes the
voice of the secret agent ahead, and
gladly they follow.
Evidently NJ Francois has been ar
ranging his plan of action while en-
route-at any rate he loses no time in
reflection now, but proceeds to bust
ness.
"Messieurs, mark that gloomy
square building just ahead-it is NJ.

to frequent attacks OF indigestion
which used to rob him of his strength

his entire breakfast of Grape-Nuts
