WHY ELECTRIC ROADS PAY

The existing system of railroads
operating between Chicago and New
York were not originally planned to
extend from one of these cities to the
other, but were built in the same man
ner that nearly all the large systems
have been built, step by step, keeping
pace with the growth and develop
ment of the country.
The first section Of the New York
Central Railroad extended from New
York to Albany. The first section of
the Pennsylvania Railroad extended
from Philadelphia to Harrisburg. The
first section of the Chicago and North
western Railroad was but thirty miles
in extent, and was built between Chi
cago and what Is now known as West
Chicago; later the line continued on to
Galena, ILL.,. and eventually reached
Omaha. Only those transcontinental
lines which had Government assistance
were built in their entirety.
The Chicago New York Electric Air
Line Railroad is the first road projected
with a definite plan to connect Chicago
with New York City by direct route.
This road is being built in a practical,
businesslike manner, section by section,
and 1t is the purpose to put each Sec
tion In operation as soon as COM
pleted
The La Porte section of the Chicago
New York Electric Air Line Railroad
is now being constructed between Chi
cago and La Porte. Ind. a distance of
fifty-efght miles. 1t extends through
such a thickly settled manufacturing
and suburban district lying east of
Chicago as to make that one section
an unusually attractive electric rail-
road proposition. It Is remarkable that
this territory has remained for so long
a time without being occupied by an
electric system.
There is at the present time an cleo
trio railroad (trolley line) connecting
Goshen. E1khart, Mishawaka, Niles and
South Bend. which is building an ex-
tension west to La Porte. A road.
therefore, extending from Chicago to
La Porte, having tributary to 1t the
manufacturing towns of South Chicago,
whiting, Hammond, Gary and Chester
ton, and connecting with the existing
lines at La Porte, would AFFORD rapid

wAKEFULNEss SAVES LIFE
George Fleitz of Detroit Attributes Es-
cape from Death to Chance


Z was awake and looking out Of
the car window when the crash came, :"
said George l. Fleitz. a Detroit lumber
man. at the st. Francis Hotel last night,
and to that fact / owe my life. / felt
the car roll and braced myself against
the bar at the top Of my berth. Then
came a terrific jolt that slammed me
up against the head of the bed Had ]
not instinctively braced myself for the
impact ] believe would have been
killed"
Fleitz was occupying stateroom
on the Shasta express, which was de-
rallied below Red Bluff yesterday morn
ing. He arrived at the ST. Francis
last night with other passengers on the
ill-fated first section, having been
picked up by a later train at Dunnigan.
The passengers suffered but little de-
lay and arrived at the various hotels
last night.
FleitZ was accompanied by John B.
Padberg of Detroit After the shock
both men left their stateroom and aided
other passengers in allaying the alarm
of the women
Fleitz left the car 10 make a survey
OF the scene The wreck, in his opin-
ion. was caused by the breaking of a
rail The engine and tender left the
track, but did not overturn. The ex-
press car followed the engine and upset.
The baggage car left the track on the
opposite side, but the remaining
coaches and sleepers stayed on the
rails.
George H. Emerson arrived at the
Palace Hotel from Hoquiam last night,
accompanied by his wife. They were in
the third Pullman and felt the full
force Of the shock. but escaped injury.
Emerson was unable to say just what
. damage was done to the baggage car
and had made no inquiry regarding the
safety Of his own effects.
Fred Beebe of Tacoma said last night
in the st. Francis that the wreck was
due TO the breaking of a rail and that
the consensus of opinion on the train
was that underweight rails were used.
Beebe said the damage to the passen-
gers effects was slight.

RoosevelRs Treaty Plan
Seems Doomed to Failure
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

WASHINGTON. Feb 3-President
Roosevelt's plan for amicably adjusting
the difficulty between the United States
and Japan with a view to the exclu-
sion of coolies is doomed to certain
failure He will never be able to
obtain the ratification of a treaty bar
ring American workmen from Japan
The President has made his caIcula-
tions on the theory that as no Ameri-
can laborers go to Japan, there will
be no objections to having a clause in
serted in a treaty providing for their
exclJsion- This would be reciprocal
for the exclusion of Japanese coolies.
1t has already become evident that the
Senate will refuse to approve a con-
vention in which any distinction against
American citizens would be made
There might be no opposition to the
exclusion of all Americans. but there
will be determined antagonism to the
barring of workingman and the ad-
mittance of millionaires and hrst-class
travellers. There is no class distinction

The Uselessness of Worry.

Most of us have suffered more from
apprehension than from realization.
The worst troubles we ever had were
the ones that never happened. We
have taken anxious thought for
tomorrow that was not justified by
events when tomorrow came. We have
lost the happiness of the present in
worrying over the possible misfortune
of the future
There is no attitude of the mind that
is more useless than worry. It solves
no problems, it furthers no plans. IL
avoids no threatened dangers. It is
worse than useless. 1t paralyzes action
The man who worries about what
may be ceases to work for what can be.
1t distorts the mental perspective and
SO impairs judgment. 1t weakens
resolution, encourages hesitancy and
throws the citadel of the soul open to
the invasion of the arch-tyrant
fear
Worry over the past is even more
foolish than worry over the future.
What is done is done. Mistakes may
have been made, but they cannot be
righted by worry. Take the lesson
taught by experience, profit by it and
go ahead to better things.
| A man should cultivate the habit of
letting things slide. To worry over
them only intensifies their power for
evil; only makes their burden heavier
to bear. Learn to forget, or at least to
shunt troubles. Be able to go home
and lie down on your couch and shut
out of your mind all disturbing
thoughts If they have to be faced in
the morning you will be filter to
tackle them.
Be true to yourself, true to your
friends and fair to your enemies. Put
your trust in the infinite love and
wisdom thst are back of life. Then
go ahead, and do what you believe to
be right. The consequences can take
care of themselves, and you will have
no cause for worry.
