HATE YOU NOTICED ITq

Have you noticed how serenely and soundly New Haven has stood the financial strain?" Nobody has even got excited here, or if anybody has the general calm has sootned him and giv- en him peace, The New Haven banks have. gone steadily along doing legiti- mate business in a legitimate way, in accordance with the good old custom that has made and kept them safe and sound. If the good people of New Ha- ven hadn't read daily about the panic and things they wouldn't have known that there was anything for anybody to be disturbed about Of course this kind of living isn't so grand and ex- citing as the kind they have been hav- ing in New York and some other places, but 1t is much more comfort able and profitable. We owe each oth- CT a vote of thanks and special vote of thanks is due the honest, conserva- tive bankers of New Haven, who have conducted their business so wisely and soberly in hifalutin times that when the pinch came they and the commun- Iity dependent on them were not pinched.

Plenty of Honest Men.

CThe Atchison (Kan.) Globe.)
 In spite of the fact that we are all crying, Thieves! Thievesr there arc really not a great many men who stoop to theft. Probably not one man out of a thousand Is an out-and-out thief A few men ruin their lives by being tricky. and refusing to pay their hon est debts. but real thief is rare. And when you do find a man who is thief that a thief ever prospers Is false. IL is the honest, upright, useful, indus trious man who succeeds in life. If you do not know this. you do not know much. Many a man accused of being e thief ie more honorable than the pSo- pie making the charge

A monarch by the name of Yborshi is advertising king lom for sale in
 several Continental newspapers. He
 offers his throne, crown, sceptre, do-
 minions and subjects for sale, with thirty wives thrown in, for the modest sum of S200,00O. His realm Is that of Aysbonia, strip of land in Afri "a l250 miles long and ninety miles wide. The power of life and death Is the
 Kings prerogative, and goes with tho crown, as does the granting of all con

OF constitutional law that ultimately
must be determined by the supreme
bench at Washington. Pending that
adjudication the roads refuse TO obey
the North Carolina statute; but they
give to each patron "a coupon which
will be redeemed at its face value III
the decision is adverse to the roads.
That looks reasonable, for ii the roads
complied with the statute and their
contention is upheld by the court CT
last resort, the difference OF 1 cent a
mile passenger fares would be forever
lost to them.
It is a business proposition, n the
sole question is, can the roads get ad-
euuate return OF their investment If
the North Carolina rate be established?
That Is a question of fact. 1t would
be as calamitous to North Carolina
as it would be TO the roads il hard
ships be put on the roads such as
would bankrupt them. Tobacco grow
ing is a big industry in North Carolina
A law that would make it impossible
for a tobacco grower TO make a living
in North Carolina would be no o
outrageous than a law that would
make it impossible for a railroad to
earn a dividend in that state.
No state in the union is more sore.
~ in need Of railroads than North
Carolina; but who would build another
mile of road there if it is TO be Operat-
ed by politicians, some Of whom are
necessarily demagogues? We may be
sure of one thing-the authors OF the
reduced rate bill in North Carolina are
not building railroads. They are chas-
ing OCtOpuses.
Railroads are no more run for fun
than tobacco is grown for fun. Where
ever a train Of cars go it is on d hunt
for profit. and wherever a tobacco
plant grows it is to rtaman rcOuzbbbb
plant grows the object is to put money
in the purse of the farmer who planted
it. The only way to view it is that The
interests of the roads and their pat
rOns are mutual. OF all men, carrier
and shipper should be friends. When
justice succeeds demagogy and reason
supplants frenzy in the attempts TO
solve the railroad problem" the thing
will be adjusted in a twinkling; bat
that way is far off.-Washington Post.
