But abroad, in the international
realm IN which he holds undisputed

Everywhere, and the fact that the

but he is too tactful a gentleman

country that, devoted to lingly

So he has found field of splendid

THE SOLUTION OF A PROBLEM.

A while back The Times-Dispatch
employed a homely illustration to show
the folly of Furnishing the railroads
for the sins OF their managers. We
supposed a village situated several
miles from n railroad and small cor
poration which operated wagon train
to haul freight to and from the sta
ton. But the company overcharged
it's patrons and gave them poor SER
vice. and committed other sins in the
way of stockjobbing and the like.
which so enraged the people that they
gathered together and beat the horses
and smashed the wagons ard put the
company out OF business: after which
they had no means OF transportation.
But the officers OF the company went
scot free.
Our little parable was recalled in
reading the report OF the admirable
address OF President Woodrow Wilson
| delivered on July 4th at the James,
town Exposition. lMr Wilson also
spoke OF the folly of ming the cor.
porations for dellnauencies instead OF
disciplining the officers according l.
