CONDITION OF ERIE RAILROAD
Road Makes a Fine Financial state
ment for the Month of
October.

The statement of the Erie road for the
month Of October is one of the best issued
b. any of the eastern trunk lines for many
a month 1t shows an increase in gross
receipts of sl43. PA, which of itself amounts
TO only 8 per cent, but we understand that
the freight business alone increased about
3 per cent.
Most important Of all. however, the net
earnings increased 1911. 2S, OF practically
100 per cent.
For the first four months Of the present
fiscal year the Erie has earned approx
mately 5000 900 net after operating .ex-
penses and taxes. this figure being an in
crease OF 1851, 75 over the figures OF 1907.
The Erie road is the first OF the large
eastern trunk lines to show an increase in
fts net earnings In the fiscal year 1868 to
date. and the first also to show a gain in
monthly gross.
To this figure should be added a proper
tiOnate part OF a years "other income"
"Other Income" Of the Erie last year
amounted TO s.. 1904 57. or approximately
$4,000 a month. Therefore. It Is evident in
the first four months of the year. the
Erie earned a surplus applicable. TO fixed
charges Of between $4,000 and 5000. 600.
The fixed charges pro rated on this -four
months period amount to $4,000, SO that
the Eris. up 10 November I. has earned its
entire fixed charges for four months Of the
Omaha daily bee., 1908-12-15

year, together with the balance for the
stock for S,5OO,OOO. This is earning a sur
plus at the rate of about Sc, 500, 600 a year
over fixed charges. 1t is not probable that
this Will be maintained, but at any rate
IT shows the large underlying earning
power of the Erie. The surplus earnings
over the fixed charges for the first four
months, amounting to $4,000, is suffT-
cient OF itself 20 pay more than 3 per cent
of the first preferred stock for an entire
year.
This situation in the earnings OF the
Erie is not understood in Wall street or
in financial circles. Nobody has been sup
posing for a minute that the Erie has been
earning its fixed charges. But the fact
remains that in four months of the year II
has earned its fixed charges with 81. 5OO.O OO
to spare. The strange part of II is that
this showing has been made with a compar-
atively small reduction in maintenance.
While the detailed figures for the Erie
system are not at hand, we have details
for practically 80 per cent Of the entire
system.
These show that In four months of the
year gross earnings decreased n,55 ,543, also
that maintenance Of way decreased $685.
-O73, and maintenance OF equipment de-
creased 1917, go. These are very small de-
creases inasmuch as the maintenance Of
the Erie showed an i~ncpease last year over
the previous year Of more than 5000, OO0.
Notwithstanding that the Erie suffered Sc
verely from the panic, and its gross earn
ings underwent a large decline.
In the first four months of this year the
traffic, transportation and general ex-
) penses declined 500. 100. This is the vital
and healthful change in the operating fig
ures of the Erie.
The operating staff of the Erie are en-
titled TO much credit for the showing which
they are making in the present fiscal year.
Few viii question the statement that the
large increases in Erie freight business in
October is owing, in considerable part, to
the Influence OF E. H.. Hartman. II the
] present situation Is maintained Mr.. Harri-
mans action in coming to the relief OF the
Erie after all its old friends left it out

other places and why not here and every

Washington where there were 1000 nhabl-
tants with thirteen denominat ons and
twelve preachers. one being too poor to

ON the union OF the church. Why not get
together? Union is the order Of the day.

Rev. J. NJ. Kersey, D.. D.. Of Parsons,
Kan, to whom has been extended a call
to the pastorate of First Christian church,
occupied the pulpit of hat church Sunday
morning for the first time. He sp Ike from
the text John xxv:9, Whereas 1 was blind,
now 1 see."
Speaking Of the remarkable significance
that centers around every spoken word Of
Jesus Christ, and how those words have
been the inspiration OF every moral and
religious impulse for twenty centuries. in
creasing in vehemence as the centuries roll
by, DIR. Kersey said in part:
Men have risen in various stages Of
the world like a star illuminating the firm
ament for a brief period and then vanished.
But the Illuminating power Of Jesus Christ
grows brighter with the years.
While He came to give JOY to the world,
He died of a broke heart. The old Jew sh
doctrine was that the iniquities of the
fathers should be visited upon the children
even to the third and fourth generations.
1t was Christ who taught that the law of
God was of love and mercy. 1t was He
who taught that somehow, sometime, man
might wipe out the dark stages of his life.
That men that were blind might be made
to see.
God never made a cripple or caused a
man to be born blind. Deformity comes
from some transgression OF the law of the
Lord. God answers ali infidelity by His
works. Mountains Of unbelief cannot pre-
vail against Gods truths. The unbeliever
is like unto one who is asleep. The time
Will >come when his sleeping soul will be
awakened to the glory of Gods grace and
mercy.
W are prone TO accuse the devil OF
things that we ourselves are responsible
for. The works of God are manifest in
us and about us and we have but tc
awaken to receive them and enjoy their
f~ullness. We cannot get rid Of the spirit
OF Gods love n mercy. for It abideth
with us forever"
