GREAT FINANCING
WILL MARK 1918
Railroads Figure on Some
EnOrmOuSEXpGRditurGS

New York, Dec. Ain the world of
railway management and in that of
banking as important a proposition as
any other which is to be considered
after the first of the year is matter
of financing on very large scale.
There have been within the past two
or three weeks strong symptoms of
the magnitude of this financing.
President William C. Brown and his
associates of the New York Central
system have decided to spend nearly
$25, 100000 in equipment, which will
! be put into use during the next
twelve months. There are two ways of
looking at this purpose. One is from
the point of view of the tariff. This
railway management evidently does
not expect that tariff revision will Sc
riously affect business in the next
year The New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad company has re-
Gently marketed $40,000,000 in one
year notes. The very short life of
these notes iustifies the suspicion that
| the New Haven management believes,
or at least hopes, that within the next
twelve months it may be able to re-
fund these notes in longtime obliga-
lions. could not do this if the re-
vised tariff were to seriously affect
business.
Another point of view is furnished
by the purpose of the New York Cen
trail to spend nearly $25,000,000 within
the next twelve months in equipment.
This points to a belief that business
of all kinds will continue to be so
heavy, and is likely to be so greatly
increased, as to make it not merely ex-
pedient but vital that the railroads be
properly equipped to meet the great
demand
BY June l Of this year many of the
railroads, and some of the industrial
corporations will find it necessary to
finance upon large scale. Part of
the money will be used to refund obi
cations which are to become due next
year, but no small part of it will be
employed in meeting the imperative
necessities for increased facilities.
1t can be reported confidently that
the great business interests of the
United States, railway and industrial,
are looking forward to the change of
administration, not only without APP
prehension, but, from the business
point of view, with confidence.

during which the gentleman looked
thoughtfully at his companion and
with a tinge of melancholy in his eye.
Then he said:
What would you think of your ac-
ton If it could be proved to you that
your brother was unworthy of the sac
rifce you made for him-a sacrifice
that involved your lovers lifelong hap
piness"
mo such supposition is possible"
He drew forth his pocketbook and
took out a paper which he handed to
her. She read it, and every veStige
of color left her face. 1t was a con-
fession written many years before to
her lover by this same brother that
he had stolen money from him, the
confession being made on condition
that the debt was Cancelled and the
theft kept a secret. When Miss
Weatherby looked up she gasped:
And you are Tom?"
II am Tom"
why did you not tell me of this
at the time it occurred?"
II preferred that you should choose
between me and your brother rather
than between me and criminal A
lover, a husband who is willing to be
second to any one is a weakling."
From the time of her entrance into
the world to the present moment Miss
Weathersby had been one Of those
women who are best described by the
words, she knows it all" This trait
was strengthened by strong will.

THE AMERICAN ISSUE
Galesburg Labor News Recalls Bill
Board Promises of Wets

The Galesburg Labor News this week says:
We'll, wouldn't that jar you? Our friends,
the saloonkeepers, have discovered that some
of the big bill board advertising they did dur
ing the local option fight last spring was not
exactly true and that some of the statements
of the temperance cranks during that campaign
were true. Funny, isn't it?
Remember what the bill boards said about
saving Galesburg and how the awful drunken
ness would decrease if we could just have the
regulated saloon? Do you?
"Do you remember the statements about
how dry town, blind tigers, etc., men
ace to boys? In fact, if this advertising matter
were all collected and placed side by side with
the articles in Mondays and Tuesdays daily
papers for comparison, it would look queer to
say the least
"The retail liquor dealers held a meeting
Sunday to devise ways and means Of decreas-
ing the large number of DRINKS, and the plan
they hit upon, according to the daily papers,
was to hire some special policemen to keep
watch them and see that none of their
number sold booze to drunken men or minors
or habitual drunkards We don't know
whether there was any talk of starting Sunday
school classes in the various saloons or not
the papers didn't say.
Can't Regulate the Saloon Business
''This paper said before the town went wet
that the saloon business could not be regulated
and that there would be vastly more drunken
ness should the saloons be returned. Facts
have borne out these statements. 1t cannot be
otherwise The business of saloon is to sell
alcoholic beverages. These cause intoxicaton.
The saloonkeeper pays $500 per year for this
privilege. Is barkeeper to ask every young
man who asks to buy booze how old he is? If
he does and the young fellow says he is twenty
one how is the barkeeper to disprove his state
ment? Is he going to ask every customer how
many times he has been drunk during the year?
CA man who has been drunk three times dur
ing the year is an habitual drunkard and it is
violation of the law to sell him booze) A
quart of whisky will make most any man
drunk Will the saloonkeeper or his clerk
fuse to sell it in that quantity?
Blind Tigers in Spite of Licensed Saloons.
There have been several other queer propo-
while regulated saloons were supposed to kill
stions lately, one of which is the fact that
the blind tigers and put the bootleggers out of
business, those institutions are still flourish
ing, and that without much danger as they
were confronted with during the dry spell.
1--WE have the saloons with us and may as
we'll make the best of bad bargain. If the
liquor dealers cannot trust each other and feel
like hiring detectives for that purpose, that is
their business but so long as booze is sold

A Sight to Make Angels Weep
The Chicago Examiner Of August y contains the
following pitfu story:

A mother lying on the sidewalk at North
