THE SANTA TE's SURPLUS.

!. Speakers at Governor Stubbs'
freight rate conference in Topeka,
quoting from the report of the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway
company for June 80, 1909, claimed
that the surplus should have been
nearly ten million dollars. Instead
of that, the speakers argued, the
report showed that the company APP
propriated for additions and better
ments four million dollars, and re-
served for future expenditures five
million dollars, leaving only $4O0,-
900 in the surplus account. e. L.
Copeland, treasurer of the Santa Fe
has made a statement in answer to
this claim. He says:
"Under the established rules of the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
the expenditures out of the income.
of railway company for additions
and betterments shall be added to
the cost Of the property, and any
unexpended appropriations from in
come for such purposes must be set
aside for the future. The Santa Fe,
for the fiscal year of 1909, complied
with this requirement and set aside
nine million dollars of the income,
four million dollars having been ex-
pended during the year and five mil
lion reserved for future expenditures.
1t seems to me that any well inform
ed business man would consider this
a proper thing to do, and 1t amounts
to less than per cent on the total
value of the property.
IF you will glance at the report
of national bank, you will notice
that the undivided profits after pay
ing a dividend on its capital stock
and setting aside fair amount Of
the earning to surplus. account, still
retains an amount sufficient to take
care Of any ordinary expense or loss.
No bank ever expects that its earn
ings will be so small that they will
merely take care of the fixed charges
and running expenses. So it is in
any line of business. The merchant
who cannot earn a reasonable in
terest on the capital invested in his
business, take care of needed i'm
and betterments, and re-
tain a sufficient amount as work
ng fund, cannot be very successful.
"If the earnings of the railway
company should only cover the in
crest on bonds and the dividend on
Itock, leaving nothing for improve
nents and betterments, the proper
y could not be kept up in good con-
lltion, and at times of depression in
business or loss of crops It would
lave no reserve to fail back on,
would have to cut off all improve
nents, and would not be able to give
o its patrons the service they should
ave"

The health of our people depends
so much upon an adequate supply
Of pure dairy products that even
scarcity is always attended by suf-
fering and death.
Butter is sometimes referred 20
as a luxury. This is mistake. But
ter is not a luxury but one of the
necessities Of life, and its compost
tion is such that nothing can take
its place and perform the same func-
lions. 1t Is natures product COM
pounded in the maternal organism
and the process is in accordance with
natures law, law which man can
initiate but cannot understand. Man
can manufacture from various fats
and oils a substitute for butter but
1t cannot take the place of natures
product because man cannot under
stand the needs of the human body
as nature understands them.
The animal body is developed best
when nourished by foods which have
been little manipulated by man and
machinery. Dairy products are, as
a rule, consumed nearly as nature
produced them. This is particularly
true with milk upon which the grow
ing body must depend. In the case

,ther products are added to the fat
extracted from the milk. Man only

WHERE WILL IT END.

Lawrence Gazette; The latest tall
is to establish municipal dairies,
where the city will furnish milk fol
the city departments. This is steI
in the right direction. Following
that should be municipal bakeries
where free, bread can be furnished
then let us have a municipal butcher
ing house and a municipal packing
house. These will furnish us with
bread, milk, butter and meat. We
can get along on these until We can
get around to establishing NUM-
clpal farm, where all things can be
produced that are necessary to eat,
and we can do 1t all at municipal
expense. After these things get
well under way we can establish
cotton and wooden factor
les, and provide ourselves with cloth
ing at the expense of the municipal
ity. Later on we will build some
automobile factories, and
then every family can have an auto
mobile at public expense. The millen-
mum seems to be dawning, and COM
Ing on with a noise like Fourth

WHY MEN DON'T GO TO CHURCH

WHY MEN DON Il W. ~ CAOAOAA
So many reasons for the absence
of men from church have been adj
vance from the inner consciousness
of various writer's that 1t may be Of
interest to give few obtained from
the stay-aways themselves. The
secretary of a Harvard class recently
made preparations for getting out Its
"Quin-decennial" report. In the
first report, Published just after grad
uation, had been tabulation Of the
religious views" Of the members.
1t seemed that a new tabulation of
those views as they stand at present
might give enlightening comparisons.
The question was accordingly asked
on the blank for information sent
to every man in the class. 1t was
preceded by the promise that no
names would be used in tabulating
the results, $50 that you may be as
outspoken as you like" About
three hundred and seventy answers
were received out of over four hun
dred men on the active list. Many
gave merely their denominational
affinities, as was done in the first re-
port. From these 1t appeared that
the Episcopalians, who originally
stood second on the list, with seven
ty-one avowed members, had now
moved up to first place with seven
ty-five. The Unitarfans originally
the leaders with seventy-seven, had
dropped to fifty-four, the Presbyte-
rians from twenty-four to eleven,
the Baptists from twenty-five to
eight, while the Congregationalists
nearly steady, thirty-two
or thirty-three in number. Per con-
ira. the Roman Catholics, originally
five, had doubled to ten, and several
representatives each were now found
for Christian Science, Ethical Cul-
ture. Christians, and other sects not
shown at all fifteen years ago. But
many Of the answers went further
than a mere statement Of creed. A
large number of men stated that
.hev had mo faith" mo religion

Why Salves Fail to Cure Eczema.

Scientists are now agreed that the
eczema germs are lodged not in the
outer skin or epidermis. but in the in

is required. not an outward salve that
