SELLING STICKS TO WHITLERS
FOR A LIVING.

A Nebraska man has Just closed
career which throws some interesting
light on American life For a quarter
of a century he earned his living by
selling sticks to whittlers The re-
sourcefulness, on the one hand, and the
idleness, on the other, involved in the
possibility of such an occupation
would hardly be found in any other
country on the globe. The statesman
at the corner grocery, who cutters the
ground with shavings from dry goods
box while - saves the country, is a
familiar type.
Each day n gives the Almighty
Advice which he deems of great worth;
His wife takes in sewing, 10 keep things
a-going,
While he's experimenting the earth.
But there viii be whittlers as long
as the white pine grows and the cor
puscles flow sluggishly in certain veins.
So, after the fashion of American en-
terprise. some one will be found to
supply every demand, even the sticks
on which idlers may whittle The old
man in question had lost two fortunes,
but it is safe TO say that if he had
lived he would have made another.
The country is safe so long as there
are more sellers of whiting sticks
than whittlers.

PRESIDENT AND RAILROADS
REACH COMPROMISE.

As the result of one of the most i'm
Portant conferences held at the White
House since the beginning of this Ad-
mmstratlon-a meeting lasting for
tour hours, and attended by leading
railroad men and Cabinet LAWYERS
the President and the Western rail
roads have reached a compromise as to
the increases in rates proposed in
Western trunk line committee terri
tory.
Briefly, the railroad presidents agree
that all increases in rates filed with
the Interstate Commerce Commission
since May ! viii be withdrawn and
submitted to the Interstate Commerce
Commission on the question of their
asOnableness after the new rate bill
goes into effect. In turn. the Admins
ira tlon agrees 10 withdraw the suit
1t has begun in Missouri to enioin the
increases in rates and TO dissolve the
Western trunk line committee agree
ment.
The compromise which has been
reached as to the increases in Western
territory viii apparently be extended
TO cover the increases in freight rates
proposed by the roads in other parts of
l country.
On the whole, the fact that a com
promise has been arrived at on the
terms indicated ought to give general
satisfaction to the business world. and
II doubtless viii. Some complaint will
be- heard because the railroads have
been prevented from getting more
revenue Immediately, and, on the other
hand, there may be some disposition
TO criticise because the application of
the Sherman law to rate increases and
traffic agreements is not going to be
tested. But as a practical matter the
shippers are not going at once to be
subjected to higher rates and the roads
viii have the opportunity to go before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and rake showing that they are
entitled to more revenue.
Thus neither side has any great
reason TO complain. and an import
ant phase of the situation is that bust
ness conditions viii in no way be dis
turbed pending the working out before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
OF the problem whether the roads
should be allowed 10 increase their
transportation charges.
1t is clear that tie railroads were
impelled TO compromise because they
did not want the application of the
Sherman law to railroad traffic agree
nients tested. How powerful a club
this Is in the hands of the Government
need not be noted in the light of what
has happened. It is also more clear
than ever that the roads made an I'M
wise move when. in the present state
OF the public mind, they sought to
hasten TO increase in rates for the
purpose of forestalling the new rail
road law.
In the new law Congress has failed
to make any provision for the legal
ton of traffic agreements between
roads, What has happened ought to
be lesson. Legislation permitting
such agreements is needed. and along
with it should 60 provision for the
strict control of such agreements. In
