where they were to be met by their
father.
The conductor In charge from Spo.

Scott shortly after the train left the

against the carrying of Sunday
school on one ticket.
"The rules Of the company provide
that child under years of age may
ride free when accompanied by its
parent with first class ticket, don't
they?" asked Mrs. Scott.
"They do. but you will have to show
me-" answered the conductor, where.

"I'd rather have combination than

Control Is the important thing. With.

man might get control of railro ads or

PLEADS FOR RAILROADS.
James J. Hill Declares They Deserve
Liberal Treatment.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2O.-'The COM
merce OF the country can escape dis
aster only by additions to and en-
largement OF railwa ny terminals" de-.
clared ] James j. Hill last night 10 q
speech at the annual banquet ot the
Railway Business ass oci alton. "When
the railroad yards are filled with cars
that cannot be moved, the railroad
loses q portion of it's earnings, but
the business man loses larger share
OF his trade, and the workingmau his
employment.
Back of the lack of proper terminal
facilities, MIR. Hill declared, was the
question of finances. Impairment of
credit due to decreased earning power
and Increased expenses, he said, made
it impossible for the railways to bor-
row money advantageously and build
necessary termin ais.
"The railroads should be permit
ted," he argued, ITO earn and hold q
surplus equal to so per cent of the
amount they paid out in dividends, to
be held for emergency cases, and ap-
piled to improved facilities. The
people must realize that regulation
must not be strangulation."

free trade. # the democrats in con.
gress have the idea that it does, they
will run onto rocks and the party will
be wrecked. The income tax will
make it unnecessary to cut the tariff
