The new Pennsylvania station which
has just been completed in New York
City is the worlds greatest railroad
station and cost over 100000.
The great steel tunnels running under
the Hudson river and into the terminal
cost as much if not more than the
station itself Through these tunnels
l,45O trainloads of human freight are
to be daily unloaded into the terminal.
One hundred and twenty-siX passen-
ger trains can unload at the same
time. The excavation for the station
was made from solid rock and two
tons of dynamite were used in the OPP
Grafton. Three million cubic yards of
rock was blasted out to a depth OF
siXty-one feet in the center of New
York so that the lowest level of the
station should meet the entrance OF
the tunnels as they emerge from be
meath the Hudson. All this vast
amount of money and great ability has
been spent to save a ten or fifteer
minute ferry ride. Time is certainly
money in Gotham.

cine tyranny of technicality," is
the name given by the Atlanta Consti-
tuition to that altogether too common
form of law evasion which consists in
freeing criminals, known by all to
be guilty, by means of some legal loop
hole, which was never intended to be
so used. President Taft declares that
our judicial procedure needs thor
ough renovation, both to open the
courts to the poor man and to make
the term justice mean something.

Tennessee has a new senator, His

Instead of advising young men to
keep out of politics we should advise
them to go into politics and take with
them a high ideal of the responsible
ity of public service. The public bust
ness has to be attended to by some
body and the situation as a whole
should be such as to make the service
attractive to good men.

Every newspaper one picks up tells

The government of Cuba is again on
the point of collapse. Public senti-
ment is turning against Gomez against
whom there are charges of gross cor
ruption and extravaganza. The Go
mez administration represents Cuba's
second experiment at self government
and collapse now would lend much
encouragement to the interests that
have been demanding ever since the
close of the war with Spain that the
United States take permanent control
of Cuba.

This fact carries tremendous i'm.

to have a REIMBURSEMENT of rates made
so that this city will get a square
