Sacrifices by the Veterans

S. F. Putney, 117th N. Y, Cleveland,
N. Y. calls the Worlds Works atten-
ton to the fact that during the war
the wages of the soldiers went down.
while those of everyone else went up.
The soldiers suffered a great reduction
in what the Government promised to
pay. In his own case he was receiving
$33 month where he was employed
in 1862, and the wages for work he
was doing went up to 500 a month.
The Government increased his pay in
the army from S1S to SIG month, but
the value of the dollar went down.

Senator Cummins's Proposition.


The regular Republicans have no hes
itation about opposing the Cummins
rule, which insurgent Senators are ad-
Yocating. They say II is playing into
the hands of the Democrats. But that
discussion will be allowed to drag itself
out at considerable length. The old
sters want to play" Senator Cummins
to the limit, show him the pitfalls that
beset new man who dares aspire to
leadership, and finally convince him
how powerless he is when he does not
command the cooperation of his Re-
publican colleagues. II goes without
saying that Senator Cummins is well
aware of these plans to humiliate him,
but he wants to get on record for the
vors and hopes, before the shindy is
over, TO contribute something to the
embarrassment of the regulars
The Democrats in the meantime are
successfully concealins differences of
opinion among themselves over the kind
of revision they favor. Not word is
forthcoming about their vigorous con-
tention, for example, over raw mate

stoutly opposes free raw materials, is

factions. 1t is, however, for home con-
sumption, and has not been of a char
acter to attract attention here in WASH
ington.
AS a matter of fact, the Senate and
House Democrats are trying to keep
very still about their own tariff views,
while the Republican manuvering pro-

n H1sifs great age in which we are

reckless eXtravesancs are all
about us, vet on every hand we are
confronted by the spectacle Of our mil
lionaires pruning their fortunes in the
cause Of humanity. These generous
gifts have made possible a philanthropy
little dreamed of even a decade ago.
It is impossible to estimate the good
to mankind which will result from such
donations as the Sage Foundation or
the Carnegie Foundation. for instance,
to say nothing of the numerous other
generous but less princely offerings.
While the same care for the poor ana
suffering in our midst still goes on, our
philanthropy, owing to the generosity
OF these wealthy men. has taken
broader, more general aspect. Schemes,
big, facreaching in character, almost
Utopian sometimes, are being financed
continually by this class. MIR. Carne-

4 world without war! What a Won
derful advance in civilization 1t would
showi Mr.. Carnegie believes 1t to be
an entirely practical scheme, however,
SO much so that he has just added
$1,000 900 to his original gift for this
object. This distinguished Scotsman is
the President of the New York Peace
Society. and has been and is connected
with many other societies along this
line. He built the Palace of Peace at
The Hague. where the peace confer
ences are held and which cost him
$1,750,O00. His recent gift of 10000
900 for the promotion of universal
peace will be turned over to Board
of Trustees, of which Mr.. Knox will be
the head. 1t will make possible a
scientific examination into the causes
of war, thorO study of this phase of
the subject never before systematically
gone into. Whenever Mr.. Carnegie sees
a chance to help along this dearly cher
ished object of his he does so. For in
stance, he cabled Costa Rica a short
time ago, proposing to rebuild her
Peace Palace at Cartago, destroyed by
earthquake. and during the difficulty
between Germany and Venezuela he
offered to lend the latter country $780,
900 to pay her debt to Germany, that
war might be avoided. Mr.. Carnegie
may be a dreamer, but there are those
who have had visions which they made
realities, visions seemingly as wild and
Utopian as this of the Steel Kings of a
universal peace.

CASE OF THE RAILROADS
Pamphlets Presenting Their Argu
ments Are Being Distributes

Under the caption of Relation OF
Railroad rates TO general business.
pamphlets are being scattered over
the country, bearing upon the present
attempt or the railroads to increase
thei rates
The first OF the pamphlets gives fig
ures, tending to show why the rail-
roads. must increase their rates to
make any profit at all.
II is stated in the publication that
the report of the Interstate commerce
commission. covering period extend
ing nine months ending April l, the
present year, shows that for eleven
railroad systems all west and north OF
line drawn from Chicago TO ST. Louis.
compared with the same period in the
previous year. had their gross earning
increased about s5O,0O0,OOO, while the
net earnings of the roads show de-
crease of $3,5O0,00O. The comparison
for the month of March is also made
on the same basis, showing. according
| to the publication. an increase OF 81
OO0,0 900 in gross earnings and de-
crease of $965.0O0 in net earnings.
The pamphlet is the first sign re-
ceived here of the efforts of the rail-
roads of the West 10 begin a campaign
calculated to influence the minds of
the general public in their behalf.
Further the argument Is presented
that the railroads must have addition
al money for equipment to adequate
ly take care of the business of the
country. and to raise this added earn
I ing power must come through the in
| crease of freight rates.
It Is pointed out that a serious con-
gestion confronts the railroads OF the
| West. unless they can make improve
ments and secure more equipment Il
take care of the traffic of the coun'
try. 1t is argued that the proposed In
crease of freight rates is asked for this
reason, and that unless the increase
lis granted, the railroads will be COM
PEELED to face a situation similar to th'
congestion of 1907.
Other arguments contained in th'
pamphlet are that the increase oi
freight rates will save money to TIN
investor and will not prove an addi'
tional cost to the ultimate consumer.

Ann Arbor, Mich, June 1.-two
years ago this summer Mrs. Amy Car
roll of Richmond. Ind, came to Ann
Arbor. and with her she brought her
daughter, Celia, her son, Ray and an
other daughter Mabel. The daughter
Celia entered the high school. from
which she will graduate this June. and
the mother, other daughter and son
entered the university, with 60 hours
credit allowing them to enter as
juniors.
Later the son changed his course
taking engineering and he will be
graduated I'm June, 1911. The mother
and daughter, Mabel, will be gradu-
ated from the literary department this
June, as would also the son had 1t not
been that he changed his course.
1t Is a very unusual occurrence, one
that probably never happened before
or will again, when mother and child
both be graduated from the same in

Miss Celia will enter the university
next fall.
