RHEUMATISM
PAINFUL & DANGEROUS

Rheumatism is due to a diseased
condition of the blood cells and cor
puscles, brought about by an excess
of uric acid in the circulation. 1t is
not only very painful disease but an
extremely dangerous trouble. The
briny, acrid state of the blood gradu-
ally forms coating over the muscles,
and by depositing cement-1ike sub
stance in the joints frequently termi-
mates fatally, or leaves its victim a
hopeless cripple. 1t is natural to
"doctor " the spot that hurts, and it is
quite right to use 1iniments, hot app1i-
cations, etc., to get temporary relief
from a painful joint or swollen tendon;
but Rheumatism is not skin disease,
and such things, when depended on
alone make one careless, and the dis
ease gets frmer hold on the blood.
S. S. S. cures the disease because it is

campaign. 1t is conceivable that they
may prevent an advance in rates, and
come to regret the consequent lack Of
vitality in the railways. American
railways are far from having attained
their growth. They are in need net
only of income enough to sustain their
life, but to stimulate their growth.
There is a certain justice in having
the funds necessary for their growth
contributed by those whose patronage
of the railroads is a source of profit,
rather than by the general public
whose gain from the railways is less
direct. If the railways are held to cap
.taliZe their betterm ents, and must
borrow the money, interest must be
paid on the money borrowed, and the
rates must be adequate to pay the in
terest and provide a sinking fund for
the extinguishment of the debt. AS
interest and sinking fund must come
from earnings, it would seem to come
TO the same thing in the end.
Whatever the merit of this argu-
r-ent on either side, it is plain that a
NV light is thrown upon what is
thought to , be regulation of rates.
Heretofore, it has been thought that
the function of government was merely
to assure that rates were reasonable
and just, that is, neither extortionate
nor discriminatory, toward either per-
sons or places. If the position assumed
on behalf of the shippers is sustained,
there is no detail of the management
of the railways too trivial for examina-
ton and control. 1t is not enough for
the railways to sustain their claim that
they need more money. They cannot
justify on totals, but must provide in
detail just how much they want for
terminals. just how much they want
for wages how much for interest, and
so on indefinitely.
1.-The railways plead that they cannot
do it, and that nobody could. How
ever, that may be, it is evident that
the success of the contention would
establish a new definition of railway
regulation and one not in accord with
the present law"

Washington, Oct. 10.-Secretary
William H. Connolly today issued a
call for the twenty-second annual con-
vention Of the National Association of
Railway Commissioners to meet in the
offices of the Interstate Commerce
Commission on Tuesday. November Is.
The notice said that new committees
are to report at the forthcoming con-
vention, which in addition to other
matters of unusual interest, will make
this the most important meeting the
association has thus far held.
Some of the more important COM
nittees to report are those on shippers
claims on common carriers, simplifi-
cation of railway tariffs. rate and
rate-making, uniform classification,
railway capitalization, railroad taxes
and plans for 'ascertaining the fair
value of railroad property, and amend
ment of the act to regulate commerce.
Other committees likely to be heard
from will be those on legislation, 6i-
vided into four sections. railway serv-
ice and railway accommC dalton, rail-
road statistics, accounts and statistics
of electric railways, car service and
demurrage, safety appliances, grade
crossings and trespassing on railroads,
and delays attendant upon enforcing
orders of State railway commissions.

''An eastern view of the question Of
railway regulation may be gained from
an editorial in a recent issue of the
New York Times" said a Santa Fe
man today. In Chicago it was testi-
fled by one railway that forty million
dollars Of earnings had been put back
into the property. In New York 1t was
testified that some thirty-five millions
of dollars of earnings had been eX-
pended upon the new Pennsylvania
terminal This was in accord with the
formerly approved rule of practice by
the best roads-'A dollar for dividends
and a dollar for betterments. 1t was
this principle of putting the earnings
back into the property which has kept
down the capitalization of American
ilways, at the same time that their
rates have not risen with other prices
for services and good
"On this formerly approved principle
counsel for the shippers took issue. The
New York Times says: These improve
ments, made from the earnings, were
regarded as grievances, and in them
selves as proof of extortion. 1t was
asserted as a right that the roads
should reduce their rates by whatever
sums of earnings they have been ac-
customed to devote to improvements.
Even the misfortunes of the railways
were imputed to them for fault
For example, IT was alleged Ihat
because one road had lost large
sums by equipment frauds, and had
prospered nevertheless, therefore, it
had overcharged by the amount it had
lost by embezzlement, and should pe
held to reduce its rates by the amount
of its losses. The broad position of
those assuming to act for the general
public is that the railways should be
allowed to charge no more than would
just prevent their setting up defense
of confiscation. And, in estimating
their possible income, the railways are
held by these spokesman to be entitled
to no more than a reasonable income
upon the amount of their own funds
which they have devoted to the public
use

HURLEY FUND. AT Los ANGELES
This Division of Santa Fe Will Help
Build q Monument

San Bernardino, CaI.,-Oct. 10.-The
Santa Fe employees of the Los An
geles division are contributing their
share towards the Hurley monument
fund, the money of which is to be used
in placing suitable memorial at the
grave of the dead general manager.
Although by the terms of the reso-
luton adopted by the representatives
of every department of the railroad
the donation that can be given is re-
stricted to so cents, larger sums are
being offered by the men of this di-
vision. In one instance a section fore
man, said to be one of Hurley's en-
ployeeS in years past, forwarded SIS to
the superintendent office here.
For the reason that General Man
ager Hurley, with the exception of a
few months when he was acting gen.
eral superintendent of the coast lines,
did not have Jurisdiction over the
system west of Albuquerque. and was
therefore not close to the men in the
West, the donations will be much
lighter on the coast line divisions than
on the system east where practically
every employee is contributing his
mite to build the monument
The men, however on the Los An
geles division are donating literally
and this division will be well repre-
sented in the total sum raised on the
system.
Following are the resolutions as
adopted regarding the monument:
Resolved. That in the death of
James e. Hurley the EMPLOYEES of all
departments of the Santa Fe have lost
faithful friend, a wise counsellor
and a dearly beloved leader who at all
times had their interests and welfare
at heart; that we believe it enfnently
fitting that all employees of the Atch-
ison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway be
given an opportunity to contribute to
a fund for the purpose of erecting a
monument to mark his last resting
place, any sum not to exceed so cents
for each person; and be it further
Resolved, That the superintendent
and master mechanic of each division
be requested to receive contributions
for the purpose.

snAsoN THOMPSON ON RETURNS
Railway Statistician Finds Comfort in
WASHINGTON Reports.

Slason Thompson, railway statisti-
clan for the General Managers asso-
citation, discussing the report of rail-
way earnings compiled in Washing
ton from reports made to the inter-
state commerce commission, says:
when it is considered that since
1907, the last year of railway pros
perity, the railway mileage in the
United States has increased from 227,-
454 to 23S,10S miles, the latter eXc1u-
sive of terminal and switching com
panies, and the mileage of all tracks
is now at least $4,000 greater than
in 1907, and that these extensions,
together with expenditures for equip
ment track Improvement, new sta
lions and costly terminal facilities, are
represented by nearly $4,000 900
new capital calling for $50, 100000 more
interest than in 1907; and that the
tax charge has risen over 100000, 900
in three years; when all these things
are considered, it is difficult to under
stand what satisfaction the Washing
ton statisticians find in the decreas-
ing margin of net railway revenues"
