RAILWAY LEGISLATION.

ID RESIDENTS of the large railroads of the
Il country are somewhat disturbed by the
prospects of legislation in accordance with the
recommendations to be made by Mr. Taft in
special message to Congress. The reports say
that after the conference between the railway
magnates and the President in Washington the
other day, the railway men were not in good
humor. There have been conflicting reports
about the legislation that the President intends
to recommend.
After the issuing of the Presidents regular
message to Congress, it was said that the real
message, that directly urging specific legislation,
would come later and the railway men seem to
be in fear of it. And yet there has ben moth
ing so far that Taft has done which should
cause particular uneasness among the railway
men.
Railway men, however are not without solid
basis for their fears Ii will be recalled that
the most radical legislation affecting corpora
tions that has been enacted is the law taxing
corporations, the operation of which law will
probably cause great deal of objection when
its provisions arc put into effect.
Mr.. Taft without fuss or feathers may there
fore urge and have enacted into law rules regard
ing the railroad companies that may be more
obnoxious to them than the corporation tax will
be to most corporations. The railway pres-
dents therefore intend to be on their guard, and
lively debates are promised in Congress on all
legislation affecting the business interests.

Enormous crops, with high prices, in
the year which has just closed; the gener-
al resumption of industrial activity, a
growing export trade. an abundance OF
money in the banks 10 finance business
enterprise, a national eagerness to work
and produce in uii the rich fields with
which this country is endowed-this as
sures to the American people prosperity
in the New Year OF 1910; and for a nation
sound In its morals and health prosperity
means happiness.
The prosperity Of the New Year is as
sured because the productive benefits Of
one season carry over TO be the blessings
Of the next. Indeed the financial fruits
Of the year that is ended are now only
gathering; they will not be distributed
throughout the country for many months
Of this new period upon which we have
entered with our footing of horns. ring
ing OF bells and other greetings from
ocean TO ocean. If the final results of
1910 were to be less satisfactory than
those of 1909 we should scarcely expert
ence them, though we might anticipate
them, before we were ready TO salute 1911.
The New York Press is sanguine Of the
future for longer than this New Year
which we are beginning now There is a
careful and competent Administration at
the Nations capital. The spirit Of Con-
gress is steadily becoming more sympath-
etic with and responsive TO the aims and
ideals Of the American people-and the
American people are good people. Every

There have been reforms in many other
directions than those that are merely po-
litical. This is not so much because the
standards Of the people have improved
for those standards have been high all

them in public and in private life; and
this gives one Of the great encouragements
as 10 the future.
We are safely past a stage OF financial
disturbance and industrial depression. We
have in 1909 come through pleasant fields
under smiling skies. At the opening Of

II is said that the authorities of the Danish

upon the records of Commander Peary, show

Cook records which were found defective are
now on their way to Washington where they
will be examined by the Geographical Society

It is held by many that it would be only fair to
send the Peary records to Denmark and the
Geographical Society is now considering the
question. It should be satisfactory to all con-

PEANUT SHELLs AS FooDp

II He latest story about the alleged adulter-
Il alton of food is that peanut shells are
used in making of the popular breakfast
foods, but grain is so cheap that an adulteration
of this kind would hardly be necessary. A Chi
cago story says that a wreck of freight cars in
the West showed that several cars were loaded
with peanut shells consigned TO a city in which
breakfast foods are manufactured, and that the
Chicago Federation of Labor has adopted a reso-
luton demanding that the National Pure Food
Committee investigate the manufacture of this
class of food.
We have heard that on occasions the lobster
palaces in New York serve terrapin that is COM
posed principally of "marsh rabbit" or "musk
rats" as they are called in Kent county, that
devied crabs have plenty of trout mixed with
crab meat, and that veal is used in making
chicken salad, but peanut shells in breakfast food
is perhaps a new one.
OF course the Pure Food Commission should
investigate, as peanut shells might be hard on
the digestive apparatus while the breakfast
foods should be easy. President Taft may be
called on to decide What is a breakfast food
what is terrapin and what is deved crab2

GAYNOR'S coon START.

n JDGE CAYNOR as Mayor of New York
for the time being at least has confoundei
his critics. He was accepted as the Tammany
candidate for Mayor, not because Murphy and
the Tammany leaders wanted him, but because
they thought he would be able to pull the re-
mainder Of the Tammany ticket through. But
the Judge failed to do this. Tammany was
routed and the election of Gaynor means moth
ing to the Tiger leaders because the new Mayor
has entirely ignored them in his appointments
Caynor, it will be recalled was bitterly
assailed by his opponents, who, while protesting
to abhor Hearst, joined with him in the cam
paign against Gaynor, and load of abuse
was heaped upon the candidate by Hearst and
the reform element SO great was the attack
that many could not help believing that infuen-
tial corporations feared Gaynor and were trying
desperately to prevent his election.
But Gaynor seems to have started well as
Mayor, and perhaps New York will have a
creditabIe administration. Already il is said

CONSUMERS TO FIGHT TRUSTS.

"A CONSUMERS League has been started in
\ Washington to line up a million families
if possible in a gigantic fight against the trusts.
A learned gentleman, DR. +. l.. Scharf who is
known to some in this city, having been of late
a frequent visitor to Wilmington is at the head
OF the movement and he thinks that it will result
in definite plan to protect consumers from the
present high prices of the necessities of life.
The tentative plan calls for the enrolment of
families that will refuse 10 buy those commodi-
ties on which the price has been increased
through unfair manipulation of the market. The
idea OF Mr.. Scharf is to extend the league into
all parts of the country, to keep the people fully
informed of articles that have been advanced in
selling value.
Some critics of the plan may think that the
Consumers League scheme will result in
practical boycott, and whether it Will conflict
with decisions of the Supreme Court as to boy
colts may become question.
sulJe-.idea Of tlcfLeague seems to be feasible.
During the holiday season in this city consumers
without any definite organization refused to pay
the exorbtant price for turkeys demanded by
what was termed the local turkey trust" Pub
licity was given to the matter and the consumers
found when they went TO buy their turkeys that
the prices had been advanced "out of sight II
this revolt of consumers became general
throughout the country on certain products, it
would be effective.
The War Department is acting in a manner
tary Dickinson of the War Department has for
hidden the purchase OF products of the STANDARD
Oil Company and the Tobacco Trust, and we
have been informed by a government official
that the policy of the War Department extends
to many other things. The plan of the War De
partment seems to be practical, although it may
cause temporary Inconvenience.
The new Consumers League intends to tackle
the meat trust first. If the people would simply
merely reduce the amount of meat they pur-
chase even though such action would cause them
inconvenience the meat trust would be very
soon brought TO terms But the movement to
reduce the consumption of meat would have to
be widespread in order to be effective. The
high prices have already resulted in less meat
being eaten by many families that cannot afford
TO buy meats in quantities as large as they for
merlv used, but there is evidently sufficient
demand for meat to hold up prices.
The Consumers League is merely one method
of dealing with the problem of the high cost OF
living, and it seems to be practical method if
people who have been submitting to the high
prices are willing to make temporary sacrifices.
