termination 10 carry out necessary re-
form movements with as little disturb
ance 10 business as possible. This is
naturally reassuring. Congress as yet
shows no signs OF breaking out with
antagonistic legislation. although II Is
quite apparent that the radicals We're
disappointed at the conservative tenor
OF President Taft's message. Political
IN speaking. the situation is hopeful
for while II is evident that large cor
porations must prepare themselves
for more or less government regula-
ton. and enforcement OF the sherman
anti trust law i'm its present drastic
form may cause some disquiet, stu the
outlook in these directions is less
threatening than during the sometimes
unwisely aggressive policy OF the prev
ious administration.
our railroad situation is not without
serious perplexities Traffic is heavy
and earnings shown corresponding inn
prOvement, but expenses have grown
seriously. and net results are very oft
IN unequal to those of two years ago.
That the companies should have to
face a demand for higher wages at this
time is unfortunate, for they have
scarcely more than recovered from the
effects OF the panic. Wages were not
reduced az that period and labor suf-
fered little from this disaster. IL Is
true that the cost of living has risen.
So too have wages and many of the
railroads. If Obliged To concede to lat
est demands, will have no alternative
than advancing the rates and compell-
ing shippers to pay the bills. The lat
ter will as usual pass on the increase
i'm expenses To the consumer For rea-
sons such as these railroad stocks ana
bonds have been comparatively neg
lected by both investors and specula-
tors. and the large owners of these
properties are stlll finding 1t difficult
to distribute their surplus holdings.
There is nothing in the general sit
uation To warrant further pessimism'

TEACHING HOW TO swINDLe.

one occasion expressed its opinion OF
the evil effects likely TO follow the eN-
ploitation by magazines in seml-hc-
tionaI form of the methods of swind-
Icrs. and sharpers," says the Chicago
Tribune. and it's comments upon TINS
theme are particularly wholesome. The
Tribune saws: zone publication ran
