ENORMOUS GAINS BY RAILROADS..

u NORMOUS gains in the freight and passenger
A< business Of the railroads in this country arc
shown by statistics just compiled and made public
They show that, reduced to a unit of population or
per capita, the average freight revenue Of the rail-
roads increased 6S.06 per cent from 1898 to 1910
The passenger revenue increased 51.O6 per cent
and the mail revenue 24.5O per cent. in the same
period Census figures show that in 1913 there
were 66,s45,695 inhabitants in the United States
and that at the end Of 1910 the countrys popula-
ton was l,072,266. That was an increase of 1925
per cent. The Interstate Commerce Commission
records also show that in 1913 the total earnings
. from freight transportation on the American rail-
roads amounted to $500 O33 SOL while for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1910, the revenue from that
class service had increased TO 81 ,925, ,553036, or
1926 per cent. in seventeen years.
The earnings from passenger travel in 1898 on
all American railroads ,totaled 1901 49f ,816, and at
the close Of the fiscal year 1910 the passenger rev.
enue was S62o, ,452,643, an increase Of l0S.7S per
cent during the same period of years.
The amount paid TO the railroads Of the country
for the transportation of mail matter was $2s,-
445,053 in l893 and at the close Of the fiscal year
1910 the Government disbursed S4S 052 TO the
railways for hauling postal matter This increase
during the period in which the comparisons are
made was 1907 per cent.
Surely such showing that should shater
completely the arguments Of those who have been
predicting that in business way this country has
been going TO the bow-wows. The figures showing
such large increases in freights indicate a cor
responding increase in business and crops, and the
fact that passenger traffic has increased so tremen-
dously is proof that Americans have had money
with which to defray the expenses of travel and
that they have used it, It is safe TO say that if
the items entering into the totals we're segregated
it would be discovered that Wilmington and the
State Of Delaware have contributed their proper
tlonate shares toward making up the high per cent
ages Of increase.

APPROPRIATE. BUT BELATED.

I'll WAS eminently appropriate that the dele
Il gates to the Wilmington Methodist Conference
which closed in this city last Monday, should
adopt resolutions condemnatory of political cor
ruption BY so doing they placed themselves
shoulder-to-shouder with the Republican organl-
zation in this state 1t has worked for years to
eradicate political corruption and also to
drive out the corruptonists. In noteworthy in-
stances it has succeeded In fact, long ago, when
the Democrats and the Addckstes were striving to
sec which could accomplish the most in the way
of corruptng the Delaware electorate, and when
they had many preachers in Kent and Sussex ooun-
ties so erorzed that they kept their mouths shut,
conscientious Republicans we're out IN the, open
making the fight that destined to beat the cor
ruptonists to their knees and to force them out
of business. Those we're the days when corruption
in its most hideous form stalking into the very
churches and when even men of the cloth were suS-
pected of having suocumbed to the Establishments
of the corruptonists
Therefore, it may be said truthfully that the ac-
tion of the conference, belatcd as was the virtue
that prompted it, was proper. What 1t did several
days ago it should have done many years ago and
its action should have been free from all tinge
of rartissn manipulation. Those who framed the
resolution adopted last week admitted that in their
opinion corruption had existed Several years
They might have added with fairness that it had
been practiced for half century by Democrats and
for a brefer period by Addicks A spirit of fair-pay
also should have constrained them TO add that the
original effective anti-eorruptionists in Delaware
were the Republicans.

10000 WOMEN CRY
BACK TO The FARM

TOPEKA, Kan. March 21.-The
'back-to- the-farm" movement in Kan
sas through the teaching Of agricul-
ture and domestic science is due to
the patient. loyal work of the 10000
women teachers in the rural schools
of the State.
President Henry J. Waters Of the
State Agricultural College. who re-
Gently was elected president Of the
State Teachers Association, made
the statement today that Kansas
women in charge of the schools were
planting in the minds of the half
million boys and girls the dignity OF
agriculture and the beauty and indie
pendence of farm life.
President Waters has stood for vo.
cational education, and he has ap.
pealed TO the Legislature for laws
favoring the betterment Of rura
schools. Five years ago. when Presi.
dent Waters declares this wonderful
Department of Agriculture, there was
not a school i'm Kansas teaching de.
nestle science and only i've teaching
agriculture.
Today. out of 1856 rural schools
there arc more than 1000 teaching
agriculture. Out Of 500 high schoo
more than 400 are teaching domestic
science.
AS moro than 10000 OF the 14OOC
teachers of Kansas are women, Presi
dent Waters declares this wondrfu
movement for acquainting tho chill
dron with the beauties Of rural life
value Of domestic science i'm Tho
homes Of the people is largely due tC
their patient energy and effort.
Within five years several Thousand
OF these teachers have gone into tho
rural schools from tho Agriculture
College. putting into their life worl
the actual experience they gaind az
students of this institution.
