LONDON HOSPITAL TO
HAVE AMERICAN WARD
Enthusiastic Support Is Accorded the
Project by Peeresses from the
United States.
Special Cable TO The Washington Herald.

Special Cable 10 The Washington Herald
London. Nov. A.-Enthusiastic support
is being given to the project to establish
an American ward in the London Hos
pital. The idea is due in large measure
to the initiative and aid OF the Hon.
Sidney Holland, who is president Of the
famous hospital, which is the largest
and best equipped in England. He has
been ably seconded by number or
American peeresses and others who have
the interests of Americans away from
home at heart and whose prompt response
to the appeal has set the seal on the
success of the undertaking.
The full list OF patrons Is now to hand.
II includes Lady Barran, Hon. Otto
Belt, Lady Arthur Butler, Hon. Mrs. c.
Coventry, Miss Pauline Chase. Lady Ran
dolph Churchill, Mrs. A J. Drexel, Coun-
tess of Essex, Mrs. Cornelius Garrison.

modities. The real issues form the diff
6cult and delicate problem upon whose
solution depends the welfare of the
people, including those who ship freight
by railroads, and those who receive
freight by railroads, and those who
own railroads. They affect the well
fare of the people so directly and so
tremendously that the factors of the
problem are not only Of. today, but OF
yesterday and tomorrow; and its in
evitable effects not only of today but
of tomorrow.
That there is sentiment of hostility
among the people toward the railroads
cannot be denied. Equally, the rail-
roads cannot deny that they are them
selves primarily responsible for this
popular enmity. The conduct of near
ly all, if not quite all, railroads in the
past has been often so reprehensible
that it could not but antagonize the
people. Snug contentment with made
quate equipment, arrogance in defective
operation, rapacity in wildcat finan-
cling, have suficed to engender resent
ment and revengefulness among all
persons-and they comprise the whole
population-who had even the most in
direct commerce with the railroads.
But this hostility must not be an
issue today. The question to be de-
cided is, whether the railroads need
this desired increase in freight rates
to earn dividends fair to their invest
ors. to provide proper service to the
public, and to maintain that degree OF
gainfulness without which neither a
person nor a corporation can conduct
itself with effectiveness.
Even if a punitive measure could be
applied to the petitioners, it would
serve a misdirected justice. The rail-
roads who pray for an increase of
rates have upon their rolls of stock
holders thousands of men and women
who purchased shares with the inno-
cent purpose of investing their small
capitals. They have had nothing to
do with either purpose or opportunity
to mulct the public. Theirs has been
and is the position of individuals who.
believing that the great industrials of
a great country offered its best field
of development, placed their savings
there. Certainly not upon such as
these should any wrath be visited.
Nor is it likely to be.
The Interstate. Commerce Commis-
sion has learned the business of the
raiIroads-their needs. their errors,
their deficiencies, their opportunities,
and their desires and ambitions. The
railroads have only to show that an
increase of rates is requisite and essen
tial to a progress of development COM
mensurate with the progress of the
country and they will be allowed to
raise them by the consent of the Inter
state Commerce Commission and with
the approval of the people.

Railroads, Courts, and Public.

There must be no confusion or mis-
apprehension of the issues before the
Interstate Commerce Commission upon
the petition of Eastern railroad cor
porations to be permitted to increase
their freight rates S per cent. The
appeal must not be considered as
merely the basis of struggle between
the railroads, on the one hand, to re-
ceive more for their service, and the
shippers, on the other hand, to pay
less for transportation of their COM

BAD BOY REFORMING.
Sends - on Account to a Man
Whom He Had Robbed.

Seattle, Nov. a-Judge Everett Smith

youth recently sent home TO Los Ange-
les on a suspended sentence, enclosing 81

The money, he said. was the first he
earned since his return home. and he
wanted to make amends for his act

Judge for her boy, and the court de-
cided to give him a chance.
He was released some time ago on a
suspended sentence to the reformatory,
and promised to make good.

THE BENEFIT OF HARMONY

In his message to the city council
Mayor Shaw did we'll to emphasize
the beneficial results which can be
attained by the city officials working
in harmony. No city administration
can succeed when councilmen are
working at cross purposes with the
mayor or with each other. Just be-
cause councilmen can not entirely
agree on one policy is no reason why
they should cherish i'll feeling and
quarrel about everything. If all the
new councilmen are inspired by a
common motive, to foster the best in
terests of the city, there is little
doubt that the harmony which has
prevailed during the past year will
continue and that Pullman will keep
on progressing.
1t Is equally essential that the
people should back up the city au-
tnorities in their efforts to improve
'Nt"hS' IL you al nOI odllol ASu
with the work of some or all of the
members of the council, don't stand
on the street corners and knock. but
go to the councilmen and talk over
the matter frankly with them. Tell
them your ideas and listen to theirs.
MOST OF the trouble in this world is
caused by Misunderstanding. When
man does or says something, too
many people guess at his motives,
without consulting him, and then
proceed to criticise on the theory that
their guess is correct.
The place to advocate or oppose
some proposed municipal policy is in
the council chamber, before the coun-
I'll mas acted, not on the street cor
ners after the matter is settled.

AIDES extending from 1871 to 1900"
Let us now take potatoes THE
mean price from 1866 to 1870 was
56.1 cents, from which there was
decline on the whole to 44S cents
from 1891 to 1900. The next dec
ade had a price of $50 cents, and
the price for 1912 is about ASS
cents, or close to the level of the
lowest price period of many years,
which was from 1891 to 1900"
To quote further:
THE foregoing extracts from price
records of the bureau of statistics
are indicative of the general down.
ward movement of the prices of farm
products from the civil war until II
was arrested in about the middle of
the decade extending from 1891 to
1900. The subsequent level of prices
has sometimes carried them to about
the level of the earlier years under
review, and sometimes higher, but it
may be noticed that if comparison Is
made between present prices and the
extremely and abnormally low prices
of the nineties, the present period of
high prices is made by the force of
the comparison to occupy a relatively
higher place than it does if COMPARE
son is made with the higher priced
period preceding.
We have had great deal of
trouble to get our readers, and es-
pecially those who are not farmers,
to see the real reason of the decline
in prices of farm products from 1870
to 1895. The more the subject is
studied the more clear it will be-
come, and the more confidence farm
ers will have regarding the mainte-
nance of the present prices of farm
products. The fact is that we have
not yet reached normal prices, as
the figures of the secretary show con-
clusively. We will not reach normal
prices in wheat until the Canadian
wheat fields begin to show exhaus
ton to an even greater extent than
now. In as much as the corn coun-
try is limited, and the fertility in
large sections of it still declining,
we may expect relatively high prices
for corn for years to come, unless our
ports should be thrown open to the
corns fields of the Argentine, which
is the only part of the world from
which any great surplus of corn can
be imported Farmer,

CRYING FOR HELP
Lots of Ii in Pullman, But Daily

The kidneys often cry for help.
Not another organ in the whole

Not one more important to health.
The kidneys are the filters of the

When they fail the blood becomes
foul and poisonous.
There can be no health where
there is poisoned blood.
Backache is one of the frequent
indications OF kidney trouble.
1t Is often the kidneys cry for
