dend paying stock For clearer den-
milton, the average earnings should be
based upon the entire stock, and not
upon the best paying portion Of It, un-
less there is some reason why the
S2.500.000. 900 representing the "a per
cent should not have received any divi-
dends at all.
In the final paragraph of the edito-
rial it is stated that / should not be
allowed to pose as business man,
having no interest In common with
the shippers" Inasmuch as my con-
Germ shipped an average of $50 900 tons
OF finished product during 1906 and
1907 and we were Obliged to receive
more than 100000 tons Of iron to fur
nish this, plus enormous quantities OF
coke. coal and other supplies, can
safely claim TO have shipped in and
out 1900 tons a year, and as there
are no railroads who can afford to haul
this material, or any part of 1t, without
having revenue from 1t, an increase
of 10 cents a ton on my hauling charge
would amount TO $4,000 and, there
fore. have business" interests In COM
mon with other shippers" The 100000
tons OF finished product shipped repre-
scented in the neighborhood of $40 ,000,-
900. This $40 1000 900 represented most
ly labor. with the exception Of the
cost OF the ore and coal in the mines.
All the balance was made up Of wages
and profit on the different conditions
of the raw material until 1t was fin
ished product.
Ny Illinois plants produced so per
cent Of this amount, or 100000 a
year. For three years our Chicago
plants have not run more than half
i capacity. Therefore. there was $4,000
| 600 year less in distribution because
OF corresponding shrinkage in sales
| AS most of our iron and coal comes
from Illinois, this 100000 a year was
not distributed in Chicago. as would
/ have been the case had we worked on
/ the same output that we did in 1906
and 1907. And a great deal Of that
100000 which was not paid was
taken out OF the business firms stu
ated in or near Chicago by the non
I purchases from their varied business
on the part of the community that
would have received the $4,000 900 a
year for three years. That is the rea-
son why | have a right. as business
man, TO deprecate any unfair or un-
called-for obstacles that are placed in
the way of my business and the hun
dred other varieties of business in this
country that are affected by the money
put into circulation by the railroads
When it is further considered that my
business constitutes but 10 per cen,
OF the cost of a car and that there
were nine other units similarly affect
ed. most of which would have been
tributary to Chicago. anyone can see
how important it is to his individual
interests that the railroad companies
should have ample funds to make these
Improvements and purchases, and will
realize how comparatively easy 1t will
be to stand a reasonable advance or
the freight for any material he viii
need. If he is receiving increased
orders.

BOYS TAKE A BACK SEAT
Spelling Contests Held in New Orleans
Prove Girls Superior to Their
Brothers.

The result OF the spelling contests
in the New Orleans public schools
again demonstrates the superior pro-
ficiency OF the girls. practically all of
the victors being members OF the
gentler sex. Last year the same thing
was true and the matter was quite
generally commented on in the press
and at gatherings where educational
subjects were discussed.
So far as our information goes there
have been no contests to determine
the pupils in other branches OF study,
but it would be interesting to know
If this feminine superiority is found
to exist in all studies, or if they are
confined only to particular branches.
Doubtless this result is due in part to
the fact that the female mind ripens
at an earlier age than is the case with
the masculine mind. although there is
little doubt that the feminine intel
lect along certain lines is more acute
than tho masculine, which would seen
to Justify the conclusion that certain
branches of study are more readily
mastered by girls and women.
In view of the growing number of
young women that are going into po-
sitions as stenographers. typewritists
and other positions requiring an &C
curate knowledge of spelling. this DEM
onstrated proficiency is most crafty
ing. The public school administra-
ton is to be commended upon the eff
forts it has made to improve the
