Another London newspaper is seeking

Spectator has taken course TO find 1t which

Railroad Facilities Must Expand.

The pressure of traffic upon the facllltles OF the
railroads for handling IL is a condition in the
business world which tends steadily from bad to
worse. Everything points to much congestion
of freight and general complaints of inadequate
equipment ON the larger railroad systems of the
country,
All of which means that there viii have TO be
more liberal provision for the growth of the
business which naturally falls to American rail-
ways. The railroad companies must have more
cars more locomotives, more s1dings, more room
for handling freight Which means in turn that
they must put more moneY--a great deal more
into their equipment.
The country viii have to reckon with this
condition AS tift- fe4tet-ias said there 41ll1
have TO he more provision for railroad growth
and this necessity viii have to be- taken fully into
account by the public authorities in dealing with
railroad revenues ana expenditures The country
Will never relinquish any of the ground it has
gained in the regulation of the great cannon
carriers but il VIII certainly not be unwise
enough to prevent them from providing amply for
the natural and necessary expansion of tho traf-
tic which measures the general progress Of the
MISUNDERSTANDING Leader.

CURRENT COMMENT
Let Our Children Be Taught the Law.

There should be place in our schools for In
struction in the law. That is to say, the statutes
of the State and nation, which bear directly on
the life ana liberties of the individual, should
be explained and taught TO the children of the
schools.
Every one should be taught TO know and
revere the law: to know what is lawful and
what is unlawful: what is right and what is
wrong under the law, and at last to be will
ing, dutiful subject to the mandates of the law
II Is a distressing fact that but few of the
boys and girls of the country know anything
about the laws. They do not know when they
are violating n statute. for the they have
never been taught anything relating to the law
While they are instructed in nearly everything
into maturity without the slightest idea TO
gal restraint, only insofar they may gather
I by observation,
The result is that people often have to learn
by sad experience what the law Is, when they
should have been taught in general way their
provisions in their youth.
While the history of law is marvellous reve-
lation and the philosophy of law theme of
great beauty--sltabl bic for the attention OF the
/ ripe student-the simple provisions OF those
statutes. which touch the daily life of the peo-
pie, are what should constitute part OF the
school curriculum. TO the end that the people
may know the law. and knowing 1t, observe and
/ respect u.
No man can be a good citizen who even
conferences the violation of the law, and what
must be said OF the class Of people, however
highly they may esteem themselves, who have
a contempt. for the law?-Batimore News.

gers had little trouble in disposing Of
Rutgers today to the tune of IL to 6,

During the last period the mischief
happened. The Rutgers eleven start
