TAFT IS
TANNING
THE RAILS

WASHINGTON, June AFTER 3
four hours conference of President
Taft Acknowledgement Wichersham
and several leading railroad presl-
dents Of the country, it is announced
that an agreement has been arrived
at whereby the railroads will submit
for the present to the operation Of
the law just passed.
The railroad presidents agree to
withdraw their proposed increase of
rates, pending the railroad bill going
into effect, empowering the interstate
commerce commission to investigate
all increases and decide as to their
reasonableness.
President Taft announces that in
view of this agreement on the part of
the railroads, the government will
withdraw its injunction suit, now
pending in Chicago, to prevent the
railroads from increasing rates.

OF TAFT
ARE CRITICIZED

At the banquet of the American
Therapeutic Society, on the occasion
of it's annual meeting in Washington
recently, DR.. R. e. Wilcox of New
York, class mate Of President Taft
at Yale, severely criticised the critics
of the President.
Some of President Taft's critics
today are from the ranks of those
who knew him best in the old days"
said DR.. Wilcox. Their criticisms
are unjust and are based on misin-
formation. The Presidents motives
have been misjudged.
when Presidest Taft was at Yale
he was the most popular man in his
class in his freshman year. His po-
pularity grew with each succeeding
year, and in his senior Yale he was
the most popular man in the college.
Some seem to have forgotten that
President Taft did not seek the office
of President. He took it when the
occasion arose, believing it to be his
duty, and he sought to bring his jul
dicial mind to bear on the solution
of the problems that confront the
country. If l could violate condolences
could tell you many things that
have been misreDresented in the pub
lie press Wrong notions have gone
abroad, but by the time he has been
in the White House three years
more the country will be ready to re-
ceive him again"

MAKE BRITAIN
ARMED CAMP

LONDON, May 27.-Intense resent
ment has been caused in Liberal cir
Giles by the revelation that move
ment is On foot to exploit the mood
of the nation resulting from the
death of King Edward in the inter
ests of CONSUMPTION. The proposal
is that the national memorial to Ed
ward VII shall take the form of a
voluntary demand on the part of the
people for universal military service.
1t is argued by the promoters of
the scheme that universal military
service is not CONSUMPTION and it
would strengthen and consolidate
the empire as nothing else can do,
and thus make for righteousness and
peace"
The fact is disclosed that before
the King died, a petition was in cir
culation praying his majesty to take
stand in favor of universal military
service. Today the Liberal papers
notify denounce this petition, declar-
ing that If the militarists think the
quiet mood prevailing can be utilized
TO allay the political crisis by forcing
the pace in the direction of conscrip-
tion' they will be speedily disillusion-
ed The matter seems likely, unless
the petition is at once dropped, to
provoke a national uproar.

COMPETITION WITH TRUSTS.

Is it true that q young man cannot
hope to build up a successful business
of his own in competition with the
trusts, and he must make up his mind
to be a hired man all his life? Are
modern business conditions, however
beneficial to the world as a whole,
death to individual enterprise on
small scale? These premises and this
conclusion, says Joseph Gilpin Pyle, in
the Worlds Work for November, are
widely asserted and generally credited
today They originate mostly with one
or the other of two classes of people:
theorists, who get their ideas from so
calls. platforms and sensational news
paper articles, or weak-willed men VINO
wish to find outside themselves an ex-
cuse for their failure. The author finds
the contrary to be true, and cites in
stances to prove that the small bust
ness, we'll managed, has it's best oppor-
tunity today. He himself had an ex-
perience which convinced him of this.
He wanted a piece of work done which,
though not large in the total, meant
regular employment and steady pay
ments throughout the year. He sug-
gested his own estimates Of a fair
cost price in submitting the proposal
to two concerns, one a large and the
other a small one The large firm
proved from it's books that the sum he
thought adequate was far below actual
cost. The other accepted the PROPOSE
ton with some eagerness and showed
how good money could be made by i.
The difference, Mr.. Pyle believes, lay
in the fact that the big firm had to
earn income on dead and buried capital
and on inflated stock values due to
| consolidation, had to pay many high
priced superintendent and managers
of departments, and even then could
not prevent waste. The smaS one had
to earn only on capital actually in
vested, the manager was his own
superintendent, he himself worked
after hours when necessary, and his
constant study was to make economies
| without injuring product.

WILL FUNSTON BE PASSED?

Inside information is going the
rounds of army circles that Brigadier
General Frederick Funston may again
be passed over in favor of one of his
juniors in filling the vacancy in the
grade of major general which will soon
be created by the retirement of Major
General Duvan A recent issue of the
Army and Navy Journal gave pub
LEFTY to a report that President Taft
might take this action when the time
comes to promote an officer to tina
place left open when General Duvall
reaches the age limit. If President
Taft takes this action, it will appear
that he will be doing grave injustice
to General Funston.
Presumably the old excuse for the
passing over again, and for the sixth
time, of General Funston. will be
given: Because of his age he can af-
ford to wait. This has been an excuse
on five other occasions when General
F'unston's seniority has entitled him TO
a. promotion to a major generalship.
| There is nothing to the excuse. This 's
especially true because General Fun
ston is now forty-five years old. And
Major General Wood was two years
Y unger than that when he was pro-
NOTED to the grade he now dignifies.
The occasion is presented for the
many friends of General Funston to do
what they can with the powers that be
at Washington in an effort to see that
| General Funston gets his rights. That's
| just what they are. no more, no less
than rights. He is the ranking briga-
| dier. general in the army and has been
for some time. Unless he is incom-
petent and is being kept in the service
merely as a charity, or because the
way to remove him from it is not easy,
he is certainly entitled to the next pro
motion that is available in the ranks
| Of the major general, just as he has
! been on other occasions. There is nc
| one, however, who will have the
! temerity to say that General Funston
is incompetent in any particular. His
service from the very beginning has
been distinguished in whatever sta
ton he has been assigned. The forth
coming promotion is his by rights and
he should get it. If it does not come
his way it will be four long years be-
fore there is another vacancy amons
the major generals. Should he be COM
PEELED to wait that much longer for q
reward that should have been his some
time ago? 1t does not seem so. Nor is
it believed that President Taft, who
he's a well earned reputation for fair
ness. will deprive General Funston Of
the right and honor that is due him
when he becomes familiar with the
!

bushels is not an unusual cargo to be
shipped in one vessel One ship cleared
from Duluth on November 4, 1908, with
413, $3.50 bushels of wheat. and 16 days
later cleared again from the same port,
this time with a cargo of 462,S74 bush
els of fax seed and oats. Each of
these loads, if carried by rail, would
have required ten trains of about 40
cars each.
Freight rates charged for carrying
grain on the lakes are much lower than
ir the days of shallower channels and
smaller boats. The average rate for
wheat from Chicago to Buffalo had de-
creased in 1906-19O9 to less than one
fourth the average for 1871-1875, and in
the past several years a considerable
number of shipments Of wheat have
been carried over the thousand mile
routes from Chicago or Duluth to Buff
falo for as little as 1 cent a bushel.
Railroad freight rates on grain have
declined also during the period covered
by the departments bulletin; the aver
age rate from Chicago to New York
by all-rail routes has been, for the past
several years, less than one-half OF the
charges of 35 or 40 years ago. During
this time, the size Of the boxcars, the
kind used to carry grain, has increased
three-fold.
