THE REASON WHY.

Investigators for the interstate COM
merce commission have discovered
why the Missouri Pacific is in such a
poor physical condition. 1t is because
some officials are attempting to make
a record for economy"
Several weeks ago query was
raised in these columns concerning this
very matter. Mr.. Gould, the head of
the Gould system, in which the Mis-
souri, Pacific is link. usually assumes
a fair attitude toward the public. In
this respect he is the opposite of Mr..
Hartman. Yet Mr.. Harriman's Union
Pacific is an extremely high-grade
road-hne roadbed, good train service
and with accidents reduced to the
minimum. Mr.. Gould's Missouri Pa.
cifc is exactly the other way. Its
tracks and roadbed are in bad condi-
ton, there is constant complaint con-
corning its train service, and accidents
are numerous on 1t. 1t is in contrast
even with most of Mr.. Gould's other
roads. The Wabash Is considered a
good average road. the Denver & Rio

Grande Is an excellent system, and 1t
is reported that Mr.. Gould is making
his new Western Pacific as good a road
as money can build. AS to the Iron
Mountain, the Texas & Pacific, and the
International & Great Northern. the
State Journal can not say. but they are
probably not in as bad shape as the
Missouri Pacific in Kansas,
The reason is made apparent by the
expert of the interstate commerce
commission. Some Missouri Pacific
official is trying to make a record for
economy. and he has been letting the
road go to rack and ruin to do 1t.
This is poor policy in the long run.
1t may pile up dividends temporarily,
but some time repairs will have to be
made, and then they cost.
The Rock Island experimental with
this policy few years ago. Some new
official wanted ito make a record" and
he tried to do it in this same way. In
only few months the rolling stock got
rickety, the roadbed was in bad shape,
the employees were discouraged and
disgruntled, and the system generally
was demoralized. Trains could not be
run on time and wrecks were of daily
occurrence. Then the owners of the
road got busy and fired the record
makers" and got some new hired men.
1t ended by the Rock Island paying H.
U. Nudge salary of $4,000 a year
to put the road back into shape. Now
the Rock Island is good road again,
but that economy streak was an ex-
pensive proposition for it.
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Gould and
his associates in the Missouri Pacific
may become wise on this proposition
and build up their road instead of let
ting 1t go to pieces. The Missouri
Pacific has a greater mileage in Kan
sas than the Rock Island and Union
Pacific combined. 1t ought to be ono
or the great roads of the Middle West
instead of being a tail-ender.

President Roosevelt. having settled
the question of the cross saddle in IA
vor of the girl who prefers to ride
her horse astride, should now return
to the nature takers. A miner in Aus
tralia, sinking a shaft preparatory to
filling 1t with explosives, has just
found a toad in a stratum of cement,
while the case of another Of these
small animals, which was imbedded
in limestone adjudged to be at least
5000 years old, is cited in the same
country. Similar instances are de-
scribed by veracious quarrymen in
America, and they should have Mr..
Roosevelt's authoritative Investigation.
1t is alleged, of course, that the toads
made their homes here in the mud. AS
1t hardened into stone they were i'm
prisoned. and in their little chambers
continued in a state of suspended ami
nation until, coming to the air, life
returned and they began to hop about.
