THE PACE THAT KILLS.
The pace that kills does kill.

Inc pace tnat Kills does XIII.
1t does not always kill quickly.
More's the pity. The only escape
from its killing effect is suicide. and
suicide is but one of its methods.
Suicide may shorten the run of the
pace, but does not battle. How the
devil must laugh to see self control,
power, self-respect, pride, hope,
manhood, steal away, one by one
leaving the victim to suffer out 0
miserable existence alone, to be
heartsick in the midst of gaiety and
to die alone in the midst of life
Surely nothing can delight the
devil more than to see his victim
take the tempting bait and the bar.

as the cruel sportsman plays with
the trout, knowing that he is secure
at the end of the line. What {
wonderful thing the law Of com.

the law of nature for a while, but
the good old laws continue in force
just the same. We can't alter them
or evade them. The pace that kills
has its allurements. Ii has its en-
ioyments for a while. But some day
gross habits form prison that can
not be broken, and life is narrowed
down by hateful bondage and early
death. The pace that kills offers

Hope for a settlement.

New York, March 30.-The fact
that another meeting of the anthracite
operators and the committee of min
ers is to be held has given rise to
hopes that a settlement of wage and
other questions will be amicably
reached and that the suspension of
work in the hard coal region that
commences on April will be of
short duration.
An adjustment of difficulties in the
hard coal region was indicated in a
statement by a representative of a
leading railroad operator who gave
the information that the operators
were willing to grant a small in
crease in wages. This declaration in
New York was soon followed by the
despatch of telegram to President
Baer of the Reading company at
Philadelphia from Cleveland signed
signed by the three anthracite dis
trict presidents regarding another

RAILROADS CHARGE
Income ON DEBTS
REPRESENTATIVE ADAM o NJ
TALKS IN FAVOR OF PHYsI-
CAL VALUATIONS

Washington. March 30.-"The an
omaly has grown up, gradually and
unconsciously,tha public carriers are
to be allowed to charge an income
on what they owe as well as on what
they own, and nobody else in the
world, with whom we are acquainted,
is allowed that privilege" said Rep
resentative Adamson of Georgia,
chairman of the house commerce
committee, today in submitting his
report recommending the enactment
of a bill empowering the interstate
commerce commission to make a
physical valuation of railroads
Mr.. Adamson points out what he
believes to be the absurdity of the
system of fixing railroad rates on a
basis which contemplates not only in
vested capital but bonded liability
He says an income was allowed en-
a railroads claim to its investment,
actual and watered and allowances
made likewise on such fixed charges
as the burden of doing business and
interest on bonds, whether the secur-
tiles are sold at par or not. Count
tinuing, the report says:
Full information, full publicity as
to the true conditions Of the issIan .e
of stocks and bonds, the cost to the
holder, the price realized by the car
rier, the disposition of the money, the
facts as to the manipulations, will
shed light on the question of correct
ing rates by the commission and their
revision by the courts and the infor
nation of all these things will help
the people to al correct understand
ing thereof. 3
