Espress.Rallresd Partnership.

restifying before the Interstate Com
merce Commission last week, j. H.
Bradley, vice president Of the Ameri-
can Express Company, declared that
the parcels post "sould be destructive
Of our business And Joseph Zim-
norman of the Adams company testi-
fed that express rates are fixed arbit-
rarily, saying 81 suppose no man Ilv-
ing knows how express rates originally
were made or could say definitely bow
they are made now
"Then," suggested Commissioner
Lane, "in making yeur rates you have
to lean ON othes sompanies?"
"Yes," replied Mr.. Zimmerman
ssthat's about it,
interesting testimony as to stock
ownership between express companies
aud the railroads was brought out ty
the Commission. For instance. the
Southern Pacific made twenty-year
cotract with Wells Fargo company
The railroad received 40 per cent, OF
the express receipts collected on it
lines, and, in addition, bonus OF IS,
600 shares of stock of parvalue of 81,
500, 900. Last year the Southern Pa.
cific sold these shares TO the American
Express Company, and the money II
secured for them together with the
dividends the railroad had drawn has
amountei Sl6,00O,000. This gave the
railroad the equivalent of go per cent
of the express receipts.
Along with this joint ownership of
stock there is another tie binding ex-
press and railroad companies closely
together. Directors of the express
companies are also, frequently direct
ors of railroad companies. When this
fact came out in the hearings, Com
missioner Lane suggested that the rail-
roads and express companies were viz
tually in partnership. The attorny
for the Wells Fargo com pans insisted
that the railroad directors who are also
~
have nothing to do with the mai ing
of contracts between the roads AID he
express companies. WhereupoD Nj.
Lane remarked "Your assumption
is rather large that the express com
| pany-railroad company directors held
themselves aloof when these contracts
are up for discussion Here is q
san pie of the evidence;
"Then there is l.. f. Loree, presideni
of the Delaware and Hudson, also !
| director of the Wells-Fargo.
Attorney Stockton asked Mr.. Stead
man ifthe Fargo had any contract
with the Delaware and Hudson.
"None at ALL"
"The National Express Company.
.And who owns the National com
pany?"
"The America Express Company

"The American has 45, 500 shares in
the Wells-Fargo, director of thu

| and Hudson road, which has the ex

Ailttle Talk At Dinner.

The Girl had been married eve or
six years, and in the main was happy
and still ssthe Girl.n Her intelligence
and charm together with her husbands
sincerity and kindness, had made for
the couple circle of friends and ac-
quaintances that included many of the
"bestn people in town, which, of course
is too often taken to mean merely the
people of most wealth and highest
social position. The only flaw in the
Girls happiness was the modest size
of her husbands income.
To-day she had been one Of the
guests at little reception. "The
Davses sre charming people" she re-
marked that night at dinner. 81 wish
we could see more of them
"Well, / don't know why we can't"
her husband answered, cbeerfully.
"Jee Davis was close friend of mine
in our school days. Well have them

'sI don't know what they would
think of our little house after their
elegant place, +" she replied, doubtfully.
Everything about their home is 80
beautiful-so niceW
"Why should we care what they
think?'
"But dou't you care?'
"Not in the least. This is our home
NOT any one else's. 1t is in keeping
with our circumstances, and therefore
1t is honest, and represents US. My
income is twenty-five hundred dollars
year. Joe Davis's is eight or ten
thousand. Joe likes and respects me
new at least, belive he does, but
would he continue to If tried TO cheat
people into thinking we were richer
than we are?
"You are not getting the happiness
out of life that you should, my dear.
There is too much wait till we get the
new dining room furniture or, Yes,
as soon MS the floors are done over or,
well, after N y new dress Is finished :
AREN'T we cheapening our friends by
assuming that they care more for these
material things than for us? If not,
aren't we cheapening ourselves by
continuing to call them friends?
"The Davises' house is better than
ours, but the Mortens' is just as much
ahead of the Davises', and | know
Morton quite as well as know Davis.
If we try the Davis standard of living
now, can we avoid trying the Morton
standard by and by?
''There is too much of this in our
American life. ] want to keep clear
OF 1t. Let us live our own lives, honest
ly and openly, enjoying the things we
can afford and the friends who like us
for what We are, and letting the others
go their way
The Girl thought at the time that
the lecture was somewhat severe, but
she could find no flaw in he argument
nor has she found any siuce- The
