RallMav Canitallzation.

The New York Journal of Commerce
notes a change of opinion among gov
eminent officials engaged in studying the
railroad question as to the matter Of
Capitalization. Until very recently says
that paper. 1T was assumed that there
was a tremendous degree of overcapitai-
ization in practically all our roads. Fur
ther study of the subject has convinced
some Of the most intelligent Federal Off
cials that there is less than has been sup
posed in such claims, and that the best
roads are not largely overcapitaiized-
According TO the latest report of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, the par
value of railway capital outstanding is
SlS. 500, ,25S, ,l2l, which includes stock. bonds,
and other obligations. The stock asseT-
ton respecting this enormous sum is that
It is more than half water and that the
present railway equipment could be dupli-
Gated for vastly less than the present rail-
way capital Railroad men admit that
there have been a number Of cases Of
overcapitalization. but they contend that
the railroads are not as a whole Overcap-
italjzed, when existing prices Of material
and values of property are taken into con-
sideTatiOn. and that the roads could not
now be duplicated for much more than
their outstanding capital Il Is pointed
out that while American railroads are
capitalized at S65,s26 mile, those of Great
Britain are capitalized at $273 437 a mile.
the total capital of British railroads be-
ing s6,247 55S for 22,S47 miles OF track.
Taking this view OF the capitalization
question. railroad men are much less un-
willing than they were a while ago TO
have their properties undergo a physical
valuation. rs the appointment of John F.
Stevens, late chief engineer Of the Pan
anna Canal, to make a valuation of the
New Haven and Hartford system bears
witness. There is room for difference OF
opinion, Of course, as to what really con
stitutes capitalized value: whether, for
example. the increment Of realty value
should be included in an estimate Of pres
eut capitalized value, or whether the
present worth OF property donated to the
roads by the public should be so included.
However such questions OF detail may be
settled. there can be no doubt that all
forms OF railway property, 10 matter
from what standpoint values may be
measured. have greatly increased in value
OF late years. and so this natural fncre-

Another New theology. ,.

Among many symptoms Of the theologi-
cal restlessness OF the time, none has at
traeted more attention or aroused such
active discussion as the attempt Of Rev
r. J. Campbell the ardent and aggressive
pastor of London City Temple. to re-
state Christian doctrine in terms of mod
ern scientific thought. With all the zeal
of an evangelist, Mr. Campbell is conduct
ing a propaganda for what he terms the
new theology" endeavoring TO gain for
it adheTents in the great body of work
ingmen, which in England lies outside of
the churches, though more or less open
10 religious influences appealing to their
moral and Intellectual aspirations
The Camphellian theology is founded on
the old doctrine Of the immanence of Cod
in man and nature There is no real dis
tinction between humanity and deity, q"
says Mr.. Campbell. The divine is within
us, and in the process of moral and spirit
ual evolution tends 10 displace the evil
inheritance of our lowly origin. Sin is
thus regarded. as one commentator puts
il, as a necessary phase I'm the upward
progress of mankind from the lower ami
NAL creation. II is the tiger and the ape
in US, which in the gradual process OF
evolution we are outgrowing and reduc-
ing into order with the higher nature.
The new theological conception of Christ
differs materially from the old. Accord
ing TO the new theology, humanity at
tains its perfection in Christ because that
development which in other men is yet
imperfect reached its end in Him; we are
all potential Christs, We are all moving
IN the same direction, we shall all realize
the fun divine incarnation" II is scarcely
necessary TO point out that the entire
fabric OF scholastic theology is brushed
aside by the new theologians Of the Camp
bell school. and that even the most cher
ished tenets OF the Christian faith are no
longer acceptable to them.
What remains, as several commentators
have remarked, is more nearly akin TO
the teachings of the ancient Stoics than
to the doctrines of Christianity Prof
Sonnenschein, tracing in the HILBERT Jour
nal the analogy between the Campbellian
theology and stoiCism. says that the prinei-
pal note of Stoicism is its mOdernity.
"The great principles of humanity he
continues, "of the brotherhood of the
whole human race, of the divinity Of ma
ture as a templum deorum immortalium
of church. as distinct from state, were
voiced. OF at least anticipated in princi-
pie. by Stoicism. It's gist may be summed
up as a doctrine of the God within Issuing
in a creed Of social brotherhood"
Among all the changes and chances of
this mortal life. what could be more sin
gular than this revival of a classic mode
OF thought TO revitalize Christianity, be
lore which all systems of philosophy, an
cient and modern, have given way be
cause of its direct and forceful appeal to
The primal religious needs of human per-
sonality

Docs q Whip.poor.win sing


NO sooner does The Washington Herald let down
on It's Potomac shad vs.. Texas strawberry eontTo-
versy with the Houston Post than it starts dis
pute with the Baltimore sun over the musical ah-
its Of the vhip-poor-w It may be necessary to Put
the Herald under bonds 10 keep the peace. -CleTe-
land Plain Dealer.
The Washington Herald Is not engaged
in a dispute with the Bentztown Bard OF
the Baltimore sun as 10 whether a whip
poor-win sings. The Bard and The Herald
are in perfect accord. A whip-poor-wiI
does siug-beeutifully But it is only
music to those whose souls are attuned
to high and unlifting things. and whose
minds are filed with the sweetness Of
poetry. Such being the nature Of the
discussion between The Herald and the
Bard, necessarily the Houston Post and
the Atlanta Georgian-Our two most
abandoned dissenters-are estopped from
participating.
The Washington Herald merely men
toned the fact to the Bard that Senator
Bob" Taylor would not admit that a
whip-poor-will is given TO singing at all.
We grieved to note this treaeheFy upon
the part of feiloW-poet Taylor, hence we
called fellow-poet Bard's attention 10 it.
Since thinking the matter over, we have
concluded that the Senator was led into
his rash statement not through inherent
contrariness so much as through his great
desire 10 extricate himself from pre-
yiously made statement that he had heard
a whip-poor-win singing in December.
This being so manifest an absurdity, and
out Of it, naturally his usually bright
mind became befogged, and he gave utter
ance 10 the unfortunate remarks the sub
stance of which is heretofore noted and
set down.
But 10 return. OF course a Whip-poor-win
sings. Its repertoire is not extensive. to
be sure, but it IS excellent. as FAR as IL
goes. AS well say there is no music In
the sweet and cheering call OF the bob
white" as to deny the whip-poor-Will its
tuneful lay. AS well deny the enchant-
ment lurking in the rat-a-tat-tat Of the
yelow-hammer. or the pleading and pleas
ing coo of the dove. As twilight Ia sum
mer deepens and the cleaning merges
into nighttime; when candlelight begins 10
flicker and katydids to sing; when fire.
flies are bobbing here and there, and
from down about the old spring house
comes the s0mber call of bass-volced
frogs, then come forth the whip-poor-
wills and sing their plaintive and restful
melodies,
Music? OF course it is music. Isn't It,
Bentztown Bard?
There is music in the below Of the
blast there is grandeur in the growing
OF the gale; there is eIoquenee outpouring
when the lion is a-roarlng and the tiger
is a-lashing of his tail" There is music
everywhere and in everything animate;
and much inanimate. Search il out 1t
is there All the world is a song-and OF
its kind and in its place, no music is
sweeter than the singing Of the whip
pooU-WiI.

Boss Cox ana Ohio.

It will be a source OF regret 70 those
who hope for the substitution Of the d.
rect voice OF the people for the rule Of
the boss in politics that the Ohio issue
as between Foraker and Taft, or at least
the popular preference in the matter of
a Republican Presidential candidate,
should NOT have been determined. as was
at first proposed. by a primary election.
We pointed out at the time Senator For
aker challenged the administration forces
to d contest in the popular forum that
such a contest would set an interesting
precedent for the adoption Of democratic
methods of choosing Presidential candi-
dates. Now We are told that George b.
Cox has settled the whole matter in con-
troversy by offering a bit Of advice, -
which. Ike the slightest wish of an alb
solute monarch, an his courtiers must
obey One word from the boss, and
the political attitude ana preference Of
the dominant party of an important State
become fixed and unalterable
The method of Cox is sufficiently ia
miliar in American politics. 1t recalls
the palmiest days of Platt and Quay. At

judicial mien, Weighing the political
chances of various aspirants for public
favor. His real preference IS concealed
from the bulk of his followers, He abides
his time. and when that is ripe, throws
the balance to one side or the other, and
the thing is done. Upon the candidate
thus favored rests an implied obligation
20 the man by whom he has been pushed
10 the front The boss has turned the
trick Of making himself Indispensable.
That William II. Taft, who but a short
time ago denounced Boss Cox. should be
caught in the meshes of this transparent
device is one Of the little ironies of pOliti-
cal life.
Your really clever and accomplished po-
litical boss rides upon the crest OF popu-
lar opinion. so that in the case at point
the edict of the boss and the popular
mandate may amount 10 one and the
same thing. It is the method which we
md objectionable. not the particular
choice that may be arrived at. The
method perpetuates and gives power and
prestige 70 one Of the worst features OF
our political life--the party boss. It is
no defense of this obnoxious institution
that the boss occasionally hnds il useful
TO champion an upright and honorable
candidate, for that is one Of the tricks Of
his trade. and as often as not it conceals
disreputable deals and transactions for
which the candidate himself may be an
innocent stalking-horse.
We cannot refrain. therefore. from ex-
pressing regret that the opportunity
should have presented itself for enhan-
cling the prestige of Boss Cox at the ex-
peuse of the fair name and good repute
of the Secretary of War. But politics is
politics, and the White House brand is
the most practical variety we have had
the pleasure of observing for some time
Perhaps the situation in Ohio Is cleared
up; possibly it Is not. There are compIi-
cations yet existing that do not augur
well for the Taft candidacy.

The Woman Tabor Abused.

The widow Of Colorado's spectacular
millionaire Senator. the late H A. W.
Tabor. is reported TO be in d fair way to
retrieve the wrecked fortune OF her un-
grateful husband, whom she continued to
respect even after he had ruthlessly set
her aside for a younger and handsomer
woman whose acquaintance he made In
Wisconsin q short time after he became
millionaire. At present Mrs. Tabor is
living in a small hut on a spur OF the
Rocky Mountains near the Matchless
claim. the famous mines which made
Senator Tabors millions in the early
days. The property is now under lease.
and for the first time since Tabor lost il
is producing large amounts of high grade
silver ore from a new vein, which
promises TO develop into a bonanza. This
faithful woman has lived there in iOneIf-
ness since the death Of the man whose
millions she helped make, and whose com
paaionship she lost after his money
opened the doors of society TO him. She
has clung to the property with a tenaeity
involving sacrifices that few men would
have endured. and now she is about 10 be
rewarded for her faith and toll When
Tabor set her aside she had the sympathy
OF all Colorado, but she resOlutely refused
to accept monetary aid from anybody.

But if the evils of railway oyercapital-

efforts Of our legislators should be di-

more enlightened railroad officers.

From the New Yosk Evening Post.
We have frequently pointed out how
quietly and steadily the army Is being

session of Congress since 1885 has seen
some addition 20 the military force. This
winter it was the artillery which bene-
fted enormously. and many officers now

they believe that the coast artillery will
be periodically increased. It is so easy.
it appears. 10 show how defenseless our
coasts are, Meanwhile. there has already
been begun a campaign 10 bring about
an increase Of the infantry from thirty 10
an least seventy regiments. Five were
added by the reorganization of 1901. al
though each regiment was given two
extra companies in 1895 Now the plea is
that We must have younger officers in the
responsible positions. Just as the navy
boomers are insisting that our naval cap
talns should never be over forty-eight
years Of age, If one argument does not
serve, another viii. The japanese trouble
plays its purpose here as we'll as with the
navy. Then there is the cavalry; there
is a block in promotions in this branch
which is putting it at a disadvantage as
compared with the others. Naturally.
the cavalry now sees grave reasons of
state why at least five regiments should
be forthcoming next winter. This is a
game that can be PLAYED just as long as
people are guilible. and legislators have
relatives and friends desiTous of a mill

that the best way 10 get ahead Is by
obtaining a little increase each year, has
been so we'll applied as TO need careful

Broussard Wim Return.

Representative Robert T. BroUssard, Of
the Third Louisiana district will remain
in Congress as the result OF a novel
referendum of the question Of his con-
stituents as to whether they preferred
him to make the race for governor or to
continue to serve them in Washington.
A gubeTnatorial campaign is opening in
his State. and the suggestion that he
enter the contest for the nominat ton
came to him from all parts of Louisiana.
He had about made up his mind 10 enter
the lists for governor when protest arose
in his district against his doing So on
the ground that his constituents had a
right to demand of him TO continue IN
their service until certain legislation at
Washington affecting the Mississippi
River has been obtained. He submitted
the question thus raised TO the Democrat
ic voters OF the district and they over
whelmingly voted against his quitting
Congress for the governorship.
