1t is now estimated that the rail-
roads Of the nation will spend a billion
dollars during 1907 for new equipment
and new trackage. And James j.. Hill
says 1t will take a billion a year for
several years to do the necessary work.
All talk of hard times may as well be
put over till after the railroads catch
up with their work. The money that
they will spend in improvements, in
itself, is almost enough to keep the
country on the upgrade.

FIGHT IN AN AIRLOCK
Two WOrkmen Engage in Battle and
One of Them Has Fractured
Skull.

New York. Jan. 1.-FIr below the
surface of the earth. in an airlock of
the McAdOO tunnel under North river,
two men fought until one of them was
stretched out unconscious with frac-
tllre Of the skull which may cause his
death. Whena patrO}man who had been
called to the mouth of the tunnel by
the report that there had been a fight
down in the depths was lowered into
the caisSon he found seven men stand
ing over the PROSTATE form of John
Lundenng.
Soon after the policeman arrived the
injured man recovered consciousness
for moment and pointed to christie
pher +. Lynch as his assailant. He
said that Lynch struck him over The
head with pick handle. The cause Of
the trouble between the men could not
be learned.

NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS.

Every first of January that we
arrive at is an imaginary milestone
IN the turnpike track of human life,
at once a resting place for thought
and meditation and starting point
for fresh exertion in the perfor-
nance of our journey.
The man who does not az least
propose to himself to be better
this year than he was last must be
either very good or very bad indeed.
And only to propose to be better is
something. If nothing else it is an
acknowledgement of our need TO be
so which is the first step toward
amendment.
But, in fact, to propose to oneself
70 do well is in some sort to do
well positively, for there is no such
thing as a stationary point in
human endeavors. He who is not
worse today than he was yesterday
is better, and he who is not better
s worse.

SHOOTING is MYSTERIOUS
Boy of Is Fatally Wounded While
Passing Through an AiIey-Re-
YOlYer Is Found.

Decatur, H.. Jan Roy Watkins,
the 1S-year-oId son of a banker. was
shot and fatally wounded while pass
ing through an alley i'll the heart of
Arthur, village twenty miles north
of here, at 7:30 p. m. in the evening.
The shot penetrated the young mans
stomach and passed through his body.
The shooting is shrouded in mystery.
At the other end of the alley, half
hour LATER an Ivers Johnson revolver
OF 3S-caliber was found lying Oh
heap of ashes.
One cartridge had been used. There
is no clew. Bloodhounds from this
city were ordered at once. Two pri-
vate detectives were sent to Arthur
1t is said that a girl is at the bottom
Of the trouble. The young man was
prominent socially and his parents are

THE OLD AND THE NEW.

We have stepped from the old to
the new } ear, and we are reminded
that after all our fears and appre-
tensions, to many of US 1906 was a
kind year.
To some, we know the dark side
has been turned, but after all there
is a CLEAN of sunshine for all if we
but look for it.
Other homes are like the empty
nest that hangs on the withered
bough desolate because the life and
song went out with the birds. New
homes have been made and old ones
have been severed, but in our on
ward march 1T is not well to stop
and weigh the load each one carries.
No life is ali sunshine or all storm.
If New Years brings prosperity, let
us rejoice; if adversely, let US be
brave. The sunset gate of life will
swing shut upon some of Us ere the
close of another year. Let US see
70 the record left on this side.

There has been exhibited from
time to time, in this country, and
that far too often, a maudlin and
uncalled for sympathy of criminals
Of certain class. Ii a man commits
some common crime, like larceny or
burglary, but little notice is taken
of the affair. Let a man, however,
commit a murder, in which q
woman is in some way involved, or
any matter of a sensational nature
be connected Herewith, at once a
wave of unreasoning sympathy
sweeps over the land. The news
papers are filled with it. The Grim
nal is represented as the victim of
moral insanity. He is more sIuned
against than SHINING. He Is unde-
serving Of punishment, he becomes
a hero in his own estimation and a
martyr in the eyes Of his maudlin
sympathisers. Courts and juries
are condemned because they have
found him guilty, and governors are
cursed if they will not commute his
sentence or pardon him entirely.

SHAW HAS A MESSAGE
1t Is TO the People Of the United
States and Full OF
Comfort.
LET US ALL BE I0F GOOD CHEER
There Is No Occasion for Alsrm-Cur
Blessings Multiply.
That Is What the Head of the Treas
ury Says-Some Other Inter-
estinS Remarks Are
Also Made.
LET US ALL BE !oF GOOD CHEER

Washington. Jan. 1.-"TlPere is 10
occasion for alarm. Our only Anxiety
need be lest we fail of facilities prop
erly TO garner, store, transport. and
market our multiplied blessings. Let
every man be of good cheer. and try TO
be conservative in everything except
thank fulnesS.' Secretary Shaw thus
concludes n resume of the years tinan-
Gial record which he says has been
prepared in response TO multiplied re-
quests. In round numbers he places
the receipts for the calendar year 1906
at S625.000.0O0 and the expenditures
al S566.OO0,OOO.
Some National Finance Figures.
AS there has been no change in the
tariff laws or the laws relating TO in
ternal revenue Secretary Shaw says
the large increase in receipts is due
solely TO the extraordinary trade activ-
itY. The total expenditure. however
for 1906 as compared with 1905. he
says. shows a decrease Of only So
100000. Discussing the finances of the
government for the six months of the
fiscal year just closed the secretary
says that the books Of the treasury
show surplus receipts over expenditures
of $2j.000.O0O. as compared with 4
deficit of 100000 for the correSp ne
ing months of the previous fiscal year.
The cash in the treasury is $19O.OOO,-
000. as compared with 100000 a
year ago, an increase of $19.O00,O00.
and the available cash balance has in
creased during the year $101, 100000.
Defends the Treasury System.
During the last twelve months. the
secretary continues, the money in act
ual circulation. exclusive of the amount
in the treasury vaults, has increased
more than $2OOOO00OO OF this in
crease $145,OO0,OOO is available for
bank circulation. This" he says.
seems to be complete answer to the
oft-repeated and i'll advised criticism
that the independent treasury system
necessarily results in contraction when
money is most needed" He maintains.
therefore, that the existing money
stringency-world-w wide in its extent
is traceable in no respect and in no
degree to the Independent treasury sys-
TEN of the United States.
Explains the Money Shortage.
He says the manifest and admitted
shortage has been caused by the unpre-
ccdented prosperity in this country and
reasonab BILE prosperity everywhere. The
people OF the United States. he de-
clares, consume per capita. more food,
more clothes, more of everything than
any other people in the world. and
when prosperous they import very
largely. This. he asserts, naturally en-
courages industry everywhere and I'M
usual business activity calls for an un-
usual amount OF actual money and of
credits Ia sed on actual money.

Comedian Power Complaint Consid-

Comedian Power Complaint Consid-

In conclusion, Secretary Shaw says:

The responsibility rests with an adj

When the possibility of war be-
tween the United States and Japan
is thought OF we are prone to
figure the population Of the two
countries-the first named double
thar of the last-and say there will
be nothing TO it. But with such a
contest other world powers might
become involved and it would be
necessary to read far enough into
the future to see how they would
line up before making any off hand
statement as to how much or how
little there would be to such a
struggle. 1t is easier to bring on a
fight than it is TO stop,it. What we
are banking on is grade Of states

LACKS CoNTRACTIvE POWER
Trouble with the Currency System.
Declares Shaw.

As to the currency system Secretary
Shaw says that in his Judgment it per-
mits adequate expansion, but that its
weakness is its failure TO produce con-
traction. The volume of money, he
contends, does not respond to the vol
ume of our business. The annual in-
crease. he adds. may be sufficient. but
there is no annual contraction during
the dull summer months. Only me
1ntEinking and i'll advised" he says,
charge the admitted stIingency sole

lation.'' Just now speculation in real
estate is at high tide and the opinion
is expressed that very likely as much
money is tied up in options and mar
gins in real estate as in options and
margins on stocks and bonds.
1T is idle TO complain of the inevita-
