Nor All Sunshine

HLTHOUGH the railroads Of the country arc getting their share OF the
= prevailing prosperity. in the form OF a greatly increased traffic, a glance
y behind the scenes shows that the situation has another side also, and
that die other one is a very large one, tambcn. 1t is reported upon
very good authority that quite a number OF prominent lines ac beginning to be
quite seriously concerned as to how they are going to make ends meet it things
keep up at the present rate much longer To illustrate the point in question.
de old Pennsylvania is taken as a sample OF the most prosperous lines in The
country. and that road makes the following showing:
IN 1877 the system earned LOLA cents a ton mile; IN 1905 its earnings
had been cut to half Of this 50 cents. Wages during that time have increased
thirty per cent and the latest report shows That 30 per cent added to the Penn
Dlana's pay roll IN 1906 meant an increased cost Of Sl20OOOO0 IN the one
item of labor alone
President Finley Of the Southern shows hat the cost Of bridge timber br
increased from SO 10 $40 per thousand feet, ties from 2S TO IS cents rails
from $6 10 S28 a ton; locomotives from $1,000 to double that amount
passenger coaches from $1,000 to 10000; freight cars and other equip
mnt and material ~ proportion. This means m outlay of millions to a road
Ike The Pennsylvania which bought 1900 freight cars last year and has
already ordered an even greater number for delivery IN 1907. OF course
railroad taxes have increased and the terminal properties required by modern
conditions now involve fabulous OUTLAWS
In addition to these trouble, every railroad in the land is confronted with
tie pressing necessity OF increased capacity and facilities for handling ITS bua
ness while legislatures IN almost every state n the union are busy passing bills

Lincoln Farm Association
TO Every Loyal American Whose Heart is the Love of
Country, an Ideal of Good Citizenship and
a reverence for the Memory of
ABRAHAM LINCOLN

In August, 1905, the Birthplace Farm
Of Abraham Lincoln, consisting of ITO
acres located about SO miles from
Louisville, Kentucky, was put up at
public Auction to be sold for unpaid
taxes. 1t is fact that all but one of
the bidders who appeared represented
some business concern or speculator,
endeavoring to get possession of the
historic place to exploit it for private
gain. The shameful purpose was de-
faaated by one bidder who represented
a private citizen acting through mo-
tives of simple patriotism. He con-
ceived the idea of developing the farm
into a Lincoln National Park which
should stand forever as fitting
memorial to Lincoln's high service-a
memorial worthy of the man and
worthy of the American people.
The views of the President, members
of the Cabinet, Congressman, Cover
nors of States, and men prominent in
every walk of life, were secured, and
acting on the general suggestion an
Association was quickly formed and
in June, 1906 incorporated as the Lin.
coin Farm Association, the purpose o
which should be to secure the neces
sary funds to develop the Park, erec
a Historical Museum, noble Monu
ment. and other buildings, and to pro
vide for their future care as price
less heritage of the American people
TO this Association the citizen il
question presented the farm and, later
the old cabin, which he also rescued
from speculator who had the log
stored in a cellar holding them fo,
ransom.
1t was determined that, as Lincoll
Was raised up from the people to per
form his mighty work, it should b.
the privilege of the whole people t,
raise up this enduring memorial t,
him. Membership in the Lincoll

There are unsurpassed opportunities

Farm Association should be open to
every man, woman and child who wish
ed to contribute to the fund. And the
contribution should be any amount
from Is cents upward, without further
dues or assessments of any sort. To
every contributor will be issued a very
handsome Certificate of Membership,
and the name and address should be
entered on special card in the Per-
manent Record to be kept forever in a
place of honor at the Park.
In this spirit of true democracy, in
harmony with every Lincolnian tradi-
tion and idea, not subsidized by great
fortunes, but with free-will offering of
the whole people, the work was begun.
Just about year ago, through the
medium of weekly and monthly
periodicals and daily papers, the
movement was put before the public
on the basis outlined above. The re-
sponse was immediate, and from that
time the Association has steadily
grown until it has to-day more than
1000 members.
The contributions of course have
varied, each giving according to his
or her means or inclinations. Frater-
nal orders, women's clubs, and
patriotic organizations of all sorts
are taking up the movement, and more
than one thousand daily newspapers
have been pledged to take an active
part. Plans for the buildings have
been drawn and approved, and work
is now going on in the actual develop
ment of the Lincoln Memorial Nation
al Park. In no other country but
America could such patriotic move
ment, based on simple appeal to the
hearts of the people, have met with
this success. 1t i, striking answer
to foreign writer's who sneer at Am
erican 'materialism' and slack OF
patriotic sentiment.

to do so. We are shipping men west

BANK CASHIER A SUICIDE.
OFFICIAL OF FIRST NATIONAL,
CHARLTON, IA, KILLS SELF.
Frank Crocker Notifies Bank Exam.
iner the Institution Is OverIoaned
and Then Takes Morphine.

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. frank
Crocker, cashier of the First National
Savings bank of Charlton, committed
suicide early Thursday. His daughter
found him dead in bed. He had taken
morphine.
The bank is believed to be in good
shape.
Worry over losses sustained in al
legged use of Modern Woodmen funds
is believed to be the cause. Crocker
left note saying:
"I can't bear this strain any
longer"
Crocker was once grand treasurer
of the Modern Woodmen of America,
and held a national office in that
order at the time of his death.
Charlton is town of 5000 inhabi-
tants, 100 miles from Des Moines.
National Bank Examiner H. M. Bost-
wick is in charge Of the bank. Crock
er, before killing himself, addressed a
note to Mr.. Bostwick, whose visit was
expected. This note explained briefly
that the bank had overloaned and re-
quested the examiner to take immedi-
ate charge. The bank has capital
stock of $4,000, surplus Of $4,000,
and carried about 100000 in depos-
it's.

EXTRA Session
OF congress
MAY BE CALLED TO DEAL WITH
THE EXISTING FINANCIAL
CONDITIONS.
President Roosevelt is Urged to Cons
vene National Legislature for the
Purpose Of Averting a Possible
dangerous Condition.

Washington, Nov. At was an
nounced here Saturday from undoubt-
ed sources that President Roosevelt
is being urged to call an extra session
of congress to deal with the financial
situation. The request comes from
conservative leaders in the financial
world.
The president has been assured
from most reliable sources there will
be no opposition on the part of the
great industries of the country to the
enactment of laws necessary to carry
out his ideas of federal control.
These assurances are made at this
time to avert what has been repre-
sented as the most dangerous situa-
ton which has confronted the coun-
try during an extended historic per-
iod-that is the seeming lack of conf
dence based on known irregularities
in business methods in some quarters
and no sure and speedy means of sep
arating the good from the unsound.
To this end it is suggested that the
president set congress to the task,
first making such amendments to the
financial laws as will result in the
maximum of fexibility with the min
imum of basic change in our system.
Next and perhaps most in import
ance, that the president embody his
suggestions on corporation control in
to sufficient recommendation for en-
actment into law.
The president has been told that
the call for an extra session might
have the reverse effect from that de.
sired, that it would tend to empha-
size in the public mind an apprehen.
sion of unfavorable conditions which
do not exist.
Treasury officials are agreed thai
the financial situation is distinctly
improved day by day, and advices
from financial centers today were o1
very reassuring character. News
of the opening this morning for busi
ness of the banks in Oklahoma anc
New Mexico was received with gen
eral satisfaction, and there is said tc
be abundant evidence that the fear O
more serious conditions is subsiding
National banks in all parts of tht
country are arranging to increase
their circulation, and the treasur.
officials and clerks are working over
time in the effort to keep up will
their vastly increasing correspon
dence.

ADEADLY PRANK.
A Boyish Trick Results in Death OF
an Unsuspecting Austrian.

Duluth, Mimi, Nov. "A HallowN
cen prank cost Joe Voenich his life
at West Duluth. It was thought at
first he was murdered, but it devel-
oped he met death by electrocution.
Some boys connected hay wire
with an electric light wire and then
grounded it in an out house where
people going in and out might rub
against it and get a shock.
Voenich grounded it was dead
