History seems to be repeating itself
in the balkans, with Car Ferdinand
of Bulgaria in the familiar role OF
a would-be despot, ruling the con-
quered Balkan states. Ferdinand APP
ear to have attempted to carry out
Napoleon's scheme of bloody ambi.
ton, though on a much smaller scale,
hut recent battles with the Serbs and
Greeks seem to have been a series OF
Waterloos, with the Rumanian dec
laration of war and subsequent IN
yasion constituting the Butcher fatal
to the dream Of universal Balkan
empire, says the Kansan City Jour-
nal.
Bulgaria emerged from the war
with Turkey with ample honors.
None of the allies soldiers had
founght more bravely=oE- had done
more to bring about the joint vic
tory that practically, swe9kl the UNI
speakable Turk-rfrom etheA#may of
Europe. In such a victory none was
entitled to the lions share of the
spoils, for all had fought with equal
courage and effectiveness and if any
of the allies should have enjoyed
even the slightest prepOnderance OF
credit or material rewards, it should
have been gallant little Montenegro,
whose soldiers performed prodigies
Of desperate heroism that are worthy
to go down in history.
When Turkey was humbled in the
dust and the powers began the dis
tribution of the net results of the
war, Car Ferdinand sens to have
ceivedo the opportunity-or created
it, which amounts to the same thing
to deal a crushing blow to" the
other allies and not only make oh
with the major portion Of the
spoils that all had won, but even tt
bring under subsection the allies
themselves building a Bulgarian
throne on the ruins of the Balkan
states. II this was not his ultimate
purpose, there is no doubt that NJ
took a treacherous advantage of thu
allies and began a wholly indie
feasible war upon them. ....., ~
But again the despot failed. TIT
other allies, which had been fight
ing for liberty and not for mere az
grandizement, were made of sternel
stuff than could be %subiugated by
.''such as they themselves With the
same heroic valor with which they
had fought the Turk they tough
the Bulgar, and the dream Of Ferdi
nand was shattered. That is wa!
largely a matter of personal adven
ture and not of natural greed ant
treachery may be gathered from tn
fact that the Bulgarian people have
risen in revolt against the car fol
keeping them in ignorance of thu
fgnomioious defeats sustained by thu
Bulgarian armies. What their temper
would have been had Ferdinand sue
ceeded may be left to more or les
reasonable conjecture. Defeat alters
cases, for defeat is the most decisive
81 circumstances and has a wonder
fully clarifying effect on national a
well as individual vision. The fac
stands that Bulgaria is humbled an,
disgraced, having earned universe
destestation, no only fir its treach

One Of the late dispatches from the
east tells of the advance of Turkisl

nations which are now engaged il
warfare against Bulgaria, of reprisals

Of other horrors. The horrible feat

RAILROAD REGULATION.

HNlInONO w WV
What proper regulation of rail
roads by the Federal Government
would accomplish, or prevent, in the
matter Of monopoly, excessive capl
@taliZation, waste of resources and eX
travagant expenditure, to say moth
ing of the lower rates and better
sure, is shown by the report of the
Interstate Commerce Commissions
investigation of the New York. New
Haven and Hartford Railroad. The
report shows that as an operating
property it was badly mismanagcd
b. financial eyploiterS. 1t shows that
in 1905, with Il total mileage OF 2O4C
miles, it's capitalization was 500, 900.
OO0, while in 1912, with only an in
crease of fifty miles, the capitalize
ton had been raised to $4,000, 900
This increase was chiefly due to
the efforts Of the linancierS in control
of the road to create a complete mo-
nopoly in transportation in the New
England States by both rail and wa
ter. They purchased steamer lines
and electric lines at far beyond their
value, and expended large sums to
prevent competing construction. They
gave $4,000, 900 for nothing, so the
report says, in purchasing the trolley
lines in Rhode Island. Proportion
ate waste is spoken of in several 9th
er transactions of the monopoly ere
at;ng campaign. The conditions
found here are extreme of those
which naturally grow out OF lack OF
regulation or control by the power
from which the real opportunity to
do these things arise, which is the
federal power.
Speaking of restrictive regulations
needed, the commission says that ev.
| err road should be prohibited from
expanding money or acquiring prop.
erty not in the operation of the road
or required for legitimate improve.
ment, extension or development. II
| also says that no road should be per
mitted to purchase. another or ac.
Quire its stocks or securities withou,
federal approval, nor should stocks
Or bonds be issued for either OF those
purposes without the consent of the
Federal Government. These are the
essentials of federal control of rail
roads, to prevent both monopoly Of
transportation, either locally u gen
orally, and exploitation, or railroads
| for personal gain. 1t is apparent
from the general conditions that such
regulation can not be effectually done
by the separate states, but is dis
tlnctly and necessarily a federal mat.
ter. We have recognized the. para:
mount power and need of federal
control Of rates by creation of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
The same principle applies to gen
eral regulation. Indeed, the two are
interlocked, as the commission in its
report indicates, when 1t says the
larger net income desired by thi!
road. and by Others i%nferentially
would better be secured by economic!
OF management and operation thar
by %anincrease in rates. In this lat
ter opinion lies the germ of the set
Element of the demand Of the road
for higher rates to meet Increases
operating expenses. Regulation an,
supervision would stop exploitation
and excessive monopoly securing es
penditures and secure economies tina
might render higher rates unnece
sary, even in the face OF higher wage
and general expense.
