ENGLISH EXPERT ON RAILROADS
Praise and Blame for American
Transportation System.

New York, Feb. 2.-Both criticism
and praise Of American railways are
embodied in a statement made by w.
NJ. Aeworth, the English railway
economist, on the eve of his depar-
ture yesterday for England Mr..
Acworth has been making study of
American railroads during the last
two months, incidentally testifying
before the Presidents railroad secur-
tiles commission He has made sew
eral previous examinations OF Ameri-
can railroads at intervals OF two or
three years.
The principal defect that Mr.. Ac-
worth mentions in American railway
management lies In the centraliza-
ton of administrative power In head
quarters offices in Chicago and New
York, which, while tending doubtless
to efficiency and economy, is respon-
sible in some degree for the present
strained relations between the rail
ways and the public" Matters that
arise in Kansas, in Texas, in the far
South, in the far West and need
prompt adjustment have to be referr-
ed, Mr.. Acworth points out, to officers
1000 or 1000 miles away, and then
the citizen thinks he is dealing with
machine.
Il think says Mr.. Acworth, that
in these various important sections of
your country your large railway sys-
tens should have real executive of
ficers with the largest possible discre-
ton to deal with local questions on
the spot. | also think that the rank.
ing officers of your railways should
every now and then visit the different
communities along their lines and
cultivate the personal acquaintance
Of their citizens"
In actual economy of operations
Mr. Acworth thinks American rail
roads are first in the world, and he
expresses surprise at the space given
| by newspapers to criticism of rail
road efficiency. In the number oil
tons per car and cars per train he
says: In the fullest utilization Of
locomotives, in the obtaining of the
greatest measure of result for eaci
unit of expenditure, they are no
equaled by the railways of any otheI
nation"
He believes railways In this coun
try have reached higher STANDARD
in international comparison than far
mers or government, and that undel
greater difficulty. He dwells upoI
the enormous amount of money tina
must be spent upon American rail
roads in view of Tie fact that facll
tiles must be increased at least fit,
per cent. every ten years, durinl
which periods he believes the traffi,
substantially doubles. Most of thii
capital, he said, must be obtained
abroad, and he expresses the opinion
that foreign investment is deferred
by what he regards as too much leg
islative and governmental interior
ence.

TAFT SURE OF RECIPROCITY
Refuses to Discuss Possibility o.
Calling Extra Session.

Washington, Feb. 2.-President
Taft refuses to discuss extra ses-
sion' in connection with the recipro-
city agreement between the United
States and Canada. He hopes that
the present session will act favorab-
ly on the question.
In conversation he emphasized his
belief that reciprocity would be a
good thing for both countries, saying
that 1t would establish currents OF
commerce which would benefit both
the United States and Canada.
The fears which were being express
sed in some quarters, he continued,
were ghosts which would melt away
as soon as the agreement went into
effect. Many letters have been re-
ceived at the White House congratu.
lating the President on the decided
stand he has taken in the matter He
has been told also that he would have
the backing Of many influential asso-
Citations throughout the country.
While a few missives have reached
the President criticising the proposed
reciprocity, these have been far in
the minority.
The President called attention to
the fact that on the day his message
went to congress, when its influence
on the market might have been sup
posed to be felt. there was a differ.
ence OF only / cent in the price OF
wheat at Winnipeg and at Minneso.
Ia This was cited in support OF the
argument that reciprocity would not
affect unfayorably prices OF articles
included in the agreement in either
country. He added that he had not
intended and did not intend to hold
out any threats, but that he was
placing confidence in the present
session.
Sufficient unto the day is the
good thereof" is the motto he has
adopted In the case.

Shoe boil does not require descrip-
ton. 1t is too well known. There
are. of course, reasons for the shoe
boil, shoes too long, cannon bone too
long, the peculiar manner some
horses have of lying down, like a
COW. In these cases the hoof and
shoe come in contact with and pinch
the soft skin with the weight OF the
body causing bruise which may de-

times a simple bruise with a little
swelling and slight inflammation,
then swelling enormously showing
