ditioDs Of men is 50 thoroughly ob.
scured by theories and terms that IL
means nothing.
Mr.. u. +. loakum, chairman Of the
Frisco lines, has grappled with one of
the facts In this category. and put 1,
so plainly tat much good should re.
suit.
Mr.. Ioakum has asserted. In a re-.
cent interview, that "the farmers of
the United States could save 5000.
OOO. 600 a year by a system providing
more direct dealing with the consum.
err IL was the same authority. We
believe, that declared some months
ago that the producers In the United
States receive something less than one.
third Of the sums which the consum-
ers are required to pay for the products
Of the farm.
Here II a fact which Is easy to GRASP.
That there Is tortuous way between
producer and consumer is well known.
There has been much complaint Of
the Vaccinations of middlemen. II
Is known that there Is too long a st ring
OF agencies between the man In denim
and the man with a market basket.
Hut has the solution suggested by Mr..
foakum ever occurred, In jus, 50 many
words, to anyoneY
There are many facts which point
TO the conclusion that the United
states Is about to enter upon a great
era Of road.building. a need which
has been ignored or only partially
comprehended too long ,tseems abou, to
he attended to. Good road organiza.
lions are forming, or have formed, In
every state. In Missouri a plan has
been devised whereby convict labor
may keep we'll out Of the way Of free
labor by toiling on state highways.
In Colorado some Of the most extra.
ordinary roads In North America have
been completed by convict labor. In
Arkansas, recently, an entire com.
munity, including ministers, doctors,
clerks, lawyers and others, agreed to
work two weeks In order to improve
the highway between two points not
many miles apart. The road. building
idea is taking hold.
With the establishment of good
roads throughout the country, may

the germs of the disease by the con-
slant intercourse between the military

lively small. Within the camp the
sanitary arrangements were nearly
perfect for the prevention of any cir

some typhoid in the camp and 1t was

authorities ought to take a leaf from

MODERN sEAMANsHIP.

Some OF the English newspapers
were at first disposed to get on a
high hopse because the United States
senate was fearlessly questioning
British subjects as to their part in
the Titanic disaster. II now appears
that the American inquiry was mild
compared 10 what will probably be
brought out in England If the start
made is a criterion. II seems that
there was criminal carelessness in
reopening the water tight compart.
ments after they had been closed
from the bridge and that there was
an almost shameless lack of disci-
pline and high character seamanship
when G1 members Of the crew piled
into a life boat leaving hundreds OF
male passengers and some women.
II would seem probable that these
great floating leviathans OF luxury are
not manned by the sailors OF the Older
day but by Wallets and table walters

QUESTIONING" BUSINESS.

In his retort to President Taft's
campaign manager, George W. Per-
kins pointed in proof that the great
trusts have nothing TO fear from the
Taft administration, the order OF dis
solution entered against the Stan
dard Oil and tobacco trusts and the
plans for reorganization approved by
TGft's attorney general, and directed
special attention TO the fact that in
side stockholders have been tremen-
dously enriched by the dissolution
and reorganization.
Bearing out this statement by Per-
kins are figures issued by a Wall
street house which say it obtained
| its data from the stock books. The
Rockefellers, it declares, could sell
out now If they wished at a much
/ higher price than ever before. The
Standard Oil company of New Jersey
is cited as one instance. AS in all
/ the other companies John D. Rookie
Teller is the principal stakeholder.
The list credits him with 244,419
shares, worth $219, 997,10 at $500 a
share, the latest market quotation.
/ Dividends are said to be expected at
about 20 per cent. At that rate his
Indiana holding of 74,46O shares at
$500, plus the New Jersey interest
would give him an income from
dividends of approximately $45,5OO,.
600 which his other Oil holdings are
estimated to bring up to a round
100000 a week.
That the shares Of companies parts
of a busted" trust should be worth
more after the reorganization Of
these companies than before theil
dissolution indicates the manner OF
reorganization the administration
permitted and bears out not only
what Mr.. Perkins says, but what Mr.
Bryan, Senator Cummins and other!
have said in criticism of the admin
istratiOn's action.
