DOINGS WEDNESDAY
Large Equipment Ordered

Orders have been placed by the
Chicago & North Western Railway
company for one hundred and twenty
five steel fire proof coaches, reclin-
ing chair cars, parlor cars, dining
cars and baggage cars, and this
equipment is now under construction
for early delivery.
All of these cars are fully equipped
with non-collapsible, heavily rein
forced steel frames, with the most
modern safety vestibules, Westing-
house high speed air brake equip
ment, and the latest improved draft
gear.
The floors are laid with a sanitary
composition that adds strength to the
train. Even the frames of the seats
are built of steel, and no combustible
material enters into any part of the
construction.
The new dining cars will have feat
ures that are of direct interest to the
public. Each car is arranged to seat
thirty-six people, which is six more
than the usual standard, and special
improvements have been effected in
the arrangement of the kitchen and
pantry, which will insure greater ca
pacity and more prompt service and
at the same time remove all odors
from the kitchen.
The day coaches and reclining
chair cars are to be five feet longer
than the largest cars heretofore used
and will, in consequence, have great
er seating capacity. The parlor cars
will be of the most ample dimensions
and the interior fittings and finish
will be in accordance with the usual
luxurious North Western standard.
Special attention has been given to
the sanitary arrangements of all of
this equipment and it will all be fitted
with the latst devices for insuring
cleanliness and satisfactory ventila-
ton
The Chicago & North Western
Railway will be the first western
road to provide a1I-steel, safety, fire
proof equipment on all of its through
passenger trains.
The announcement is also made
that seventy-flve new Pacific Type"
locomotives for use on all through
passenger trains are now under con-
struction and will be delivered dur
ing the next two or three months.
Their immense capacity will enable
them to haul, at a high rate of speed
and with the greatest ease, a loaded
train Of fourteen standard Pullman
sleeping cars.
The country reached by the North
Western is very prosperous; SO pros
porous in fact that it is going to re-
quire skillful handling on the part of

Just Another Comparison

In continuing comparison of conditions in license and
nocense cities call attention to Reading Pennsylvania
and New Bedford, Massachusetts, cities OF approximately
10000 population each.
New Bedford has licenses Reading has 175 retail
liquor iceneses SO wholesale licenses four breweres
five bottlers.
The expenses of the police department of New Bedford
for 1908 were $135, 100000 or $1.35 per capita.
The arrests for ntoxication 1878 in the ratio of
one to 60 Of population.
The total municipal expense 81 250OO0OO $3.50

The expenses Of the police department of Reading for
1908 were $S0, $500 or $50 per capita.
The arrests for ntoxicaon $780, in the ratio of
to 12O of population.

1t will readily be observed that the above official record
is not complimentary to the prohibition theory of reduction
in public expenditures when the licensed liquor traffic is
emnated

A Striking Comparison

Oneof the most emphatic arguments Of the prohbitonst

this contention.
