Madison White, a Negro, has been
granted a life pension by the Louis

having served that company for more
than fifty years. White came to
Chicago yesterday from Nashville,
Tenn, where he has lived, the natives
say, for almost a century.
The old employees half century Of
serviture has left few burrows in
his cheeks. If it were not for his
hair, which is all white, he would
pass for q man half his age. His
figure is erect and he Is as animated
as he was forty years ago.
Whites pension consists of his full
salary. He does not know that 1t is
a pension. He marvels at the reduc'
ton in the number of his labors,
which now consist Of unlocking the
cashiers cage in Nashville every
morning and locking it in the eve
ming. During the fifty years he has
held one position, that of porter, in

many courtesies by railroad officials
and other prominent citizens of that

is held by the railroad people:

Agent, Nashville, Tenn.
Dear Bob-Your letter to Mr.. Grit
fin arrived by the Madison White
route early Saturday morning. Mr..
Griffin being on his vacation l under
took to pilot your distinguished
friend in the right direction. l first
had the gold badge he wore properly
riveted so that none of the light
fingered gentry could remove same
from his person unless they took
him with it.
I also introduced him to the Edi-
torial Staff Of the Chicago Record
Herald and enclose you the inter
view of which l presume he will be
very proud. Any time you have any
more of your distinguished South
ern friends visiting in this city kind
ly steer them up against us.
With best regards, / am,
Yours truly,

Mat was here. Had I been in the
city, it would have been a pleasure
to have shown him some attention
because of his long service with the
L. G n. Co.
Yours truly,
F. II. GRIFFIN,
General Agent.
Mr.. Matt White, Boss of L. G. N.
Local Freight Office, Nashville,
My Dear Friend Matt:
I am today in receipt of a sheet Of
the Nashville Banner on which / find
that noble old face and form Of your
self, below which is an article stat
ing you have been put on the PEN
sion list with full pay. While l am
glad to hear you are on this list, and
being well cared for, I know it would
require a strong log chain to hold
you from the Office.
We have here in my possession a
book we call George Washington, in
which we paste pictures Of all peo-
pie of note, such as YOURSELF, Mil
ton H. Smith and many others. This
book will eventually be stored in
the archives of the Louisville & Nash
vile Railroad, where it can be re-
viewed by the coming generations Of
i. & N. officials. So you see while
in time that honorable old body Of
Matt White may be buried from
sight, his memory will be kept green.
Continue to keep the boys straight,
Matt. I will also advise you to occa-
sionally keep an eye on Robert H.
Bransford; he needs watching.
Truly your friend,
w. H. FINLEY.

TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUST

be more misleading.
1t may be safely asserted that in
America there is no line of business
In which all or most concerns or
plants must be concentrated in order
to attain the size of greatest efh-
cheney. For while a business may be
too small to be eff efficiency does

cheney is reached when the disadvan-
tages OF size counterbalance the ad-
v~antages. b unit OF greatest ETH,
cheney Is exceeded when the disad
yantages Of size outweigh the advan-
tages. The history Of American trusts
makes this clear. That history shows:

taxing power.
