brakeman. Had to cut out six cars
to tighten the load" Do il often /?
Nearly every day. Down at the juno
ton are a hundred cars of freight
waiting for the much-repaired engine,
The through freights leave n dozen or
two every twenty-four hours; the
surplus climbs higher.
But you carried all the freight Ave
years ago." was suggested to an old
engineer on a western branch
Yes, but then l had twenty-five
towns on the line with say thous-
and persons each. Now 1 have thir-
ty-seventh towns All the old ones
are larger than then and the new
ones have 600 to 1000 people each.
See? Then the farms are filled-why
we have hauled thousands OF cars of
household goods up this branch In
| that time.
The west never raised so much
grain, never had so many people;
never did so much business never
wanted so many things-yet except In
the southwest practically no railroad
building has been done nor have the
existing lines been provided with mo-
tive power TO correspond with the
growth of the country
How can we do double track
business on a single track line?" said
a division superintendent, as he
pointed to stack of complaints from
shippers.
Traffic Manager Starr of the Penn
sylvania lines says: There are 1,S00,-
900 freight cars in use in this coun-
try; 10000 must be rebuilt every
year; the capacity of the factories is
100000: to keep up with the nations
growth it should be $1,000
"You think of freight cars making
at least 10 miles an hour 240 miles a
day." said conductor. I'm fact
forty miles day. take the whole sys-
tenn, is very well--oftentimes not sc
much. With an engine shortage add
ed to car shortage, it is a wonder
we do so we'll"
"A lesson should be learned by the
towns themselves, said a merchant
of the northwest. Look at it-foul
months ago the Dakotas were de
manding cars to ship wheat, but were
not ready to buy coal. Empty cars
were rushed in, when they might a.
well have come loaded with coal ol
other coarse freight. Now the town
want coal, car at a time. and thu
roads must bring back the cars full
only to send them out empty. Th'
new country should learn TO lool
ahead, plan for the future. ana J
would have little trouble"
Public sentiment is so aroused tha
it is unlikely that further sufferin!
will come. The railroads will not b.
able to get all freight through with
out delay, but they are rushing Goa
to towns that are in straits and vii
thus prevent distress.

els of Irish potatoes were produced

Briton's Love for Ruling Glass.

The presence of a personal sover-
eign Is the outward and visible sign
that caste is still supreme in the
British empire. The external abuses
of the feudal system have been abol-
ished in Great Britain, one by one,
until those that still linger are al
most harmless, but the inner spirit
survives to this late day, and even
now its manifestations are abundant
In almost every part of the social
structure of the British Isles. There
are still alive the fiction that the King
rules and that the army OF the en-
pire is his majesty's army. There is
still n willing acceptance of titled
aristocracy and also of an upper
house, the vast majority OF whose
me lbers sit there by the right OF
birth only, without regard 10 their
individual merits. No doubt the Brit
ish people could change these things
speedily and without violence If they
really desired to. get rid of this In
heritance from feudalism. But they
have not got rid Of It. and this IS evil
dence enough that they do not wish
TO abolish a state of affairs which the
American people look at with amazed
wonder as a survival of the dark
ages. A native American finds IT
wholly impossible to understand the
mental attitude of a certain man of
letters in London. who justified his
ingrained toryism by the assertion
that he simply would not be ruled
by hts equals. The Reader.

Europe has sold or liquidated its Am

that good railroads will continue
their dividends; that there is an end
