States, and American laborers.
skilled and unskilled, are to be en-

basis of the agreement between
President Roosevelt, Secretary
Root, Mayor Schmitz and the San
Francisco School Board as an adj
justment of the anti-Japanese agi-

CATION of Japanese children in the
schools of San Francisco.
The agreement means that the
schools of San Francisco will be
conducted in the same manner as

VIHceS me CIaC tne people as rule
are fair-minded and when fully in
formed can be relied upon to deal
justly with the transportation in
terests.
[ feel sure that it is only nee
essary to direct your attention to
the Importance of your relations
to the public, and that we shall
have your loyal support in carry
ing out what IS the policy of the
company-thc building up of a
thoroughly efficient transportation
system on the solid basis of har-
monious relations with the people
along its lines.
There is another point to which
| desire to call your special at
tcntion:
The management of the South
ern Railway has been confided to
us as a high and sacred trust.
This trust is not confined to the
President, the general officers or
the Board of Directors. 1t applies
with equal obligation, in his sphere
of action, to the humblest employe
as it does to the highest. Each
has his duty to perform and, in
the performance of that duty, he
represents the railway and is en-
gagged in the performance of "a
trust in respect to it. The brake
man cannot perform the Presidents
duty, nor can the President per-
form the brakeman's. Each must
do faithfully his own duty, and
only in the honest and faithful
performance of duty by all can
there come proper measure of
success.
1.-THE railway and the public are
entitled to the very best that is in
our employees, from the high
est to the lowest they are both
entitled to demand that there shall
be no lukewarm or limited service,
but that the heart of our employees
shall be in their work. All of u>
have voluntarily undertaken II
duty in respect to this property
and the railway and the public
should receive from each of us full
and faithful performance.
Il wish to build up among all
our employees a spirit of interest
and co-operation-a spirit in which
each man will recognize that he is
identified with the railway and
will earnestly and honestly work
for its welfare. Only in this way
can we successfully administer the
trust which has been contidcd to
us"
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1907-02-27

whole depends upon the efficiency
of each individual official and en-
plOyee. Every agent and employee
should study his duties in detail,
and should understand thoroughly
just what he is to do in any con-
tingency that may arise. He should
then neglect no detail of his duties
however unimpOrtant it may seem
to him, for no matter how careful
ly and infinitely duties may be pre-
scrlbed by the general offer, the
neglect of some apparently minor
detail may lead to serious, or pos
sibly to disastrous results. Or
even more Importance than care
ful obedience of duties prescribed
by the company is obedience to law.
Many of the relations between the
railways and t epublic are now reg
ulated by Federal and State sta
tutes, and every official and en-
ployee of the Southern Railway
Company must understand that its
business affairs are to be conduc-
ted at all times in strict accordance
with the laws of the land. No
transaction or practice that is for
hidden by the laws can be permit
ted, and as | am sure you all I'M
derstand, there must be no resort
to evasion of any kind.
AS representatives of the
Southern Railway Company you
should bear in mind at all times
the basic fact that the interests of
the railway and of those served by
it are identical and that they are
inseparably interviewer. The rail
way can prosper only. as a result
of the prosperity of communities
by which the demand for transpor-
tation is increased, and the pros
perity of the South can continue
and can be brought to the highest
possible level only through AIDE
quate and efficient transportation ia
cilitieS. At the present time, when
every effort is being made to sup
ply additional facilities and more
efficient services, nothing is more
important than that the truth of
this proposition should be realized
by men in all lines of business.
When spnce this identity of inter
csts is thoroughly understood the
railroads of the South and the peo-
pie will be brought together in
more harmonious cooperation for
the development OF the natural re-
sources of the South and for the
expansion of all lines of industry.
The men in the freight and pas
senger departments are in posi-
ton to do much to bring about
this mutual good understanding
and this harmonious cooperation
for the upbuilding of the territory
traversed by the lines of the COM
pany. Your careful attention to
the wants of the people and your
consideratc treatment of everyone
having business with the road will
serve as "a constant object lesson of
its interest in the individuals and
communities along its lines.

Business on the Washington Stock Ex-
change yesterday was small ia volume
and Of that doubtful quality. which leaves
little to be said In the way Of comment.
Stock to the amount of LOS shares were
sold, and $500 in bonds. OF the stock
500 was in Greene-Cananea and 800 in
Mitchell Mining.
The investment buying OF bonds is at
present the gratifying feature of the mar
ket The bonds sold yesterday were Cap
ital Traction SIS, which brought 1l2K and
li2h. higher prices than have been real
lied before for several weeks
The railway stocks yesterday were
| neglected. with the prices weak. Ten
shares Of Washington Railway and EIec-
tric preferred We're all that were recorded.
Raid on Copper Continues.
The raid on Greene-Cananea started on
Thursday was continued yesterday. the
stock selling at 81 a share, until SOC shares
had been gathered in by the broker who
principally deals in It on the Washing
ton board. There was still more Of the
stock forthcoming, but lower bids failed
to bring It to the block.
The support OF Mitchell Mining con-
tlnues at Sl.25 a share. It seems to be
impossible 10 get more than that for the
stock. and brokers interested will not let
it fall below that quotation. II is ex-
pected that the plans Of the company to
finance the railroad and develop the
property viii be made public next week
and Washington holders OF the stock are
in the waiting mood, determined 70 hold
on and see what may develop.
Gas Lacks support.
Washington Gas was without active
support yesterday and lost about point
on the DId price. Offerings Of the stock
were better than Is. but none Of the
brokers wanted it at that price. Now
that the demand for It by the insiders
has gone TO private deals on the outside.
where rumOr says they are getting what
they want at fair prices. the activity Of
the stock on the Washington board has
vanished. and The general belief is that
it will be quiescent there until after the
fling Of the petition Of the Washington
Gaslight Company for IFS increase Of the
capital stock.

genthaler Linotype Company, has been

Industrial Shares-SmaD Declines
Quoted for Many Stocks.

New York. Oct IA new low record
for the year for the average price OF
stocks on the stock exchange was made
to-day, and the market throughout the
day was IN a state Of half-demoraliza-
ton. Although manipulation for the de-
cline was very apparent. it was unde-
niable that large and genuine liquidation
was taking place this time for the ac-
count of domestic rather than foreign
holders of stocks. It seemed also clear
that high financial interests were letting
the market take care Of itself, and that
such buying as was present came almost
exclusively from the purchases made in
retirement of contracts for the decline.
Weak from STARE 10 Finish.
Naturally, under such circumstances,
not only was the market deprived Of the
support OF very rich men, but also of
the purchases Of stocks for investment by
people Of relatively small means or those
constituting what is generally called odd
lot buyers, since with prices at the low
est point of the year, and with the down
ward tendency apparently in fun prog
bargains than those at present offered
might not be had later on. Save for "a
little display Of strength at the opening
OF business, the market was weak from
start to finish.
As was the case yesterday the feature
OF the market was the particular weak
ness Of the industrial shares, although
no such extreme declines in some of the
preferred industrial stocks We're noticed
as occurred on the preceding day.
