Why Railways Want Money.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 Reports of railway accidents for the last few years show some instructive changes. Formerly most accidents were due to poor equipment; now they are not only rela- lively but actually fewer from this cause. But, on the other hand, the accidents due to poor construction show relative and actual increase In other words. the cars, locomotives and general train ser vice are better, but the tracks and bridges show weakness.
 The fault is not entirely due to poor construction. When these tracks were laid and bridges erected they were deemed sufficient for the traffic existing and all that was expected. But in a few years the traffic on roads has doubled Moreover, the cars are larger It is well within the memory of persons not old when ten tons was considered good car load Now cars are built to carry 50 tons. This concentration of weight on rails and bridges, as well as the increasing length and number of freight trains, has caused wear and tear upon the rails and bridges which they were not designed to carry and hence we have so many broken rails and so many weakened bridges with fatal results.
 Just about a year ago J. J. Hill in- sisted that the railways would need over a billion dollars a year for at least five and probably ten years in order to keep up with demands and reconstruct the lines so as to bear the ever-increasing business. This year substantially that

MAN LOSES RESPECT OF WOMEN.
She Has Become Independent Through
 Doing Mans Work.

Judge Willard NJ McEwen who is among the republican possibilities for governor of Illinois. Is the embodiment of practical philosophy and to this he owes much of his popularity, says the December Delineator. In his six years oi. the bench in Chicago he has tried over 2000 divorce cases and in every one of them he has shown his understanding of human nature and his clear insight into modern conditions. He does not content himself merely with looking at the actual facts as presented by the law yers. He goes deeper, examines the req sons under the trouble, and whenever possible suggests some readjustment of the marital relations that may result in a reconciliation.
 Judge McEwen does not condemn those who seek divorce so much as he de- plores the conditions which have brought out the present state of affairs. He holds that social conditions are abnor- maj. and that the way to cure the di- vorce evil Is not to shriek against those who seek legal dissolution of marriage, but to devise some means of developing more normal men and women, content to live under more normal conditions. The place of the woman, he says, is to keep the home and to rear children, while the man provides for the daily living. This is the normal life, which is not by any means as common as it should be-
 we men," says the judge, "are losing the respect of women. Statistics recent ly compiled by the bureau of commerce and labor show that one woman in every five women in the United States works. That is an appalling proportion. It shows both the reason and the result of the popularity of divorce in this country. Woman naturally looks down on man when she works beside him day by day. ehn Inc Gngla she res a man for whom she does not have the highest regard of which her nature is capable. Having taken care of her. sell. naturally she is independent"

Why Jewesses Mary Gentiles.
1m the American IsraeIlte.

From the American Israelite.
 A writer in the Jewish World, Lonr don, who sings herself "A Jewess Cir" is of the opinion that blame for much of the marrying that goes on between Jewish girls and men of other faiths and against which the chief rabbi re- gently inveighed Is to be laid at the door of the Jewish young man. It is alleged by the "Jewess Girl that the average middle class Jewish youth is outrageously spoiled by his family and tn erefore sets excessively high value upon himself, which does not conduce to the establishment of friend ly relations between himself and girls of his own class. Moreover. it is said |, the Jewish young men are not content to start their married lives in simple fashion and therefore usually require to marry where money is, if not actual ly for money.

sum has been raised and the most of it by short term notes, which expire within a few years The state of the money market was such that low interest bear ing long term bonds could not be foated. It is evident that next year as much as a billion must be raised and it is evident that the railway managers are preparing for it. Orders for rails are large and the rails themselves are much heavier. Twen- ty-five years ago, in the west, a rail weighing 56 pounds to the yard was con- sidered the standard. Nowadays 90-pound rails are being laid almost everywhere except on steep grades, where they are much heavier.
 Financiers seem to be worrying a lit tie as to where the money Is to come from Apparently there is no occasion for alarm. It seems certain that after we get over the present crisis the money market will be easier than for the last year. The railways can get money be- cause they are able to show large earn ings It is now known that the actual net earnings of the whole system of the coun- try will be in excess of last year. which was so great that almost every corpora ton had fine surplus. Reconstruction must go on. The traffic is increasing and the money will be found. The pessimist in finance must soon take a back seat.
