PAY SALARIES OF ROADS
EMPLOYEES.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Jan. "a
Four Southern and Western railroads

cessive rates. but requiring that the
salaries of certain of their employees
be paid by helpless shippers. in a
complaint filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day by the
Stonega and Blackwood Coal & Coke
Companies of Virginia.
The companies charged that they
are forced to pay 10 cents more per
ton. than competitors located only n
few miles distant They allese that
the railroads forced them to furnish
scales and to pay the salaries OF in
spectors Of the Southern weighing
and inspection bureau, who. it was Al

them.
Things may go wrong simply for
the purpose of helping one acquire
patience and a sunny temper, though
II seems a roundabout way to the
possession of these desirable quail
ties. Whether they would be essen
tial IL things didn'. so wrong Is a
question for the philosophers to set
tie. But whatever way the philoso-
piers may settle this, 1t certainly
isn't worth while to get nervous and
cross because OF pipes and pie and
such pitlie. And If these things 40
not bother me- why then. things do
not really go wrong, do they? And
that settles the matter without the
aid OF the philosophers.

IF our government is to be endur-
ing, 1t must rest on principles of jus
tice, truth and righteousness, sane
toned by recognition of a supreme
being whose experimenting proyi-
dence watches over the affairs of ma
tons and of men. There is no off,
ciaI union of church and state in this
country, but there is no antagonism
between the civil and religious au-
thortties. Church and state move on
parallel lines. The state holds over
the spiritual rulers the aegis of it's
protection without interfering with
rights Of conscience. The church helps
enforce civil laws by moral and re-
ligious sanctions. It is the duty of
US all, churchmen and laymen, to
hold up the hands Of our president,

hands Of Moses. Cardinal Gibbons
