acts interspersed with exhibitions OF eques-
trianism. Among the most pleasing Of the

ures Of the dance are nicely executed, and

ing is given by Miss Lillian Hoffman,.

broncos. create considerable fun, being
aided by young men and boys, who at
tempt TO earn cash prizes by riding them.

rolling ball balancing, and the Russels sp-
pear in a good knife and battle-axe throw

a Logical Criticism.

In the early stages of Mr.. Roos,.-
velt's noisy attacks upon the trusts a
momentary confidence in the sincerity
of his opposition was produced. That
confidence soon wore away, however
and was finally supplanted by the
rankest suspicion. Even abroad. from
whence the most unprecedented view is
to be;had, the favorable impression has
been removed. The London Standard,
for instance, is of the opinion that
President ROosevelt's latest deliver
ance concerning the trusts and the pol
icy he contemplates has been receive
with a cOmplacency that indicates 4
comfortable incredibly among the evil
doors whom he wants to punish
That paper in concluding its criticism,
says:
Nobody will say that the president
has described the manipulatOrs 1r
trusts in terms too harsh; or that his
determination to put an end to a sys-
TEN which might, if it were allowed
to continue. some day hold all the
producers and consumers in the United
States in complete and helpless bond
age, and reduce legislators and judges
to the position of paid servants, is
either unjustified or altogether IN
timely He means to discriminate
among those who originated the trust
system and those who mwillingly or
uncOnsciously have been drawn into
it; between those who have seized the
lions share of the spoils and those
who have worked for odds and ends
of the booty. How he is to apply n
moral test to questions of business. or
where he will draw his line i'll regard
to profits. is not easy to understand.
1t must be remembered that in uu-
dertaking this antitrust campaign the
government of the United States is in
the position of a man who has turned
virtuous after many years of noto"-
ious laXity. The trust system is not
the growth of a day; it has been
developing for many years; successive
governments have watched it develop
and cover the land, and, far from
lifting a restraining voice, have taken
hush money!

mountains, bears no relation to the
cost of roads like the Rock Island,
running for the most part through
level prairie regions. Mr. Cochrane
has, nevertheless, gone to great pains
to arrive at something like a general
average cost per mile of railroad con-
struction in this country. Poor's
Manual, also a high authority, places
the average cost of construction at
$69,443 per mile, but this includes the
cost of rolling stock and terminal in
vestments, which can hardly be in
cluded in construction cost M.
Cochrane, taking sections of all the
leading railroads in the country. Sc
lecting those whose cost varied great
est, concludes that the average cost of
railroad construction is $4,000 per
mile
The Cochrane statistics show that A
typical railroad can be constructed
through a rolling prairie country 1t
$4,000 a mile. and he declares that
$4,000 a mile will cover the cost IN
of the new railroads are being pushed.
The conclusion is forced, from Poor's
figures and those prepared by NJ"
Cochrane, that the railroad managers
are in fanciful mood when they insist
that the construction cost of Ameri-
can railroads legitimately exceeds
1925. 900 per mile.

Cost Of Railroad Construction.

Charles Fl. Cochrane, a construct
ing engineer. recognized as a high
authority in his profession, has COM
piled some interesting statistics rclat-
ing to the cost of railway construc-
ton. Railway managers do not agree
upon this proposition, the claims that
are made of the physical cost of rail
roads varying TO such an extent as 10
make the figures usually offered alb
solutely worthless in an effort to strike
an average approximate cost.
There can be no fixed rule for the
mileage cost of railroads. The cost
