States are, and will continue to be, an
excellent business venture. He believes
them to be, as a whole, as good u
business venture as anything else in
the United States. Mr.. Smith, however,
insists that the railroads must have
large amounts of new capital. He con-
firms indirectly the statement made
some time ago by James ]. Hill that
the needs of the railroads of the United
States, if they are to be in position to
meet the demands made upon them for
the transportation of commodities, will
require at least $4,000, 900 new capital
within a few years. Mr.. Smith Illus
trates this by example, pointing out
that the railroad company of which he
! is the vice president now has nearly
35, 900 freight cars, exactly double the
number the company owned and oper-
ated IL years ago. His company will
need within the next four years, in
cluding this year, about $3.50, 900, 900 of
new capital If 1t is to be put in a posi-
tion which new transportation demands
A tentative estimate which he has
made justified Mr. Smith in testifying
that the New York Central corporation
should have within the next 25 years
at least S400,00O,000 of new capital
every dollar of which should be ex-
pended in improving roadbeds, the
equipment, perfecting the terminal ia
cilities and adopting the entire system
to the needs of modern transportation.
This statement was made in reference
to only one railroad system in the
United States. If the testimony be we'll
founded by fact and experience then ii
is fair to assume that almost all of
the other railway systems will require
great amounts of new capital relatively
as large as that needed by the New
York Central Furthermore, if within
the next 25 years one railway system
which is now admirably equipped and
which constantly tries to keep step with
the material progress of the nation will
need not far from half a billion dollars
of new capital to maintain improve
ments and to make others so that 1t
may meet transportation demands then
all other railroads of the United States
win require relatively as large amounts
of capital 1t is not impracticable to
estimate that within the next 25 years
railway companies of the United
States will need and must secureAew
capital for improvement of facilities

THE REMEDY FOR
MODERN DAY EVIL
Rev. Henry M. Edmonds
breaches on "The Sec
Ond Birth"

| Rev. Henry NJ. Edmonds, pastor of the
South Highlands Presbyterian church. de-
livered an earnest and forceful sermcn
on The Second Birth' at the morning
service yesterday.
Socialists claim he said, that power
ty is the cause of sin, and low wages the
cause of prostitution. If this were true
| then all rich men would be angels. but
with striking Inconsistency the social
lists call them by arother name.
"Reformers say we would have ideal
| conditions If all legislation was perfect,
| if tuberculosis was cured. if all wa.er
and milk was pure and if Fairgrounds
were provided for the children But ideal
conditions are not enough. Social work
ers say that a regeneration is needed to
make the work right.
THE culturist comes along and says
that the training of the emotions and
character buildin, are prime requisites.
while teachers of eugenics attempt to
prove that only perfect marriages Will
guide the wheels of progress. Despite all
of this a second birth is the only remedy,
and God is its author.
III. Euiiiohus ulscusseu ruilhihS re-
view and explaining a number of the
points brought out by it,
Some are born again as children befofe
they are conscious of it," he said, while
others are born again and do not knows
the explanation of the change.
"Those who are born again have new
shame for. the old things and new abil-
ity to lay aside the old and put on the
new, a new attitude toward the world and
a new hopafulness for the future.
| wish to say 70 those who have not
been born again that your sins and your
capacity for them will be changed by the
splendid things tha. are in God. And 10
those who have been born again, live as
befitting your high parentage. God ex-
presses himself in seas. mountains and In
the sky, but mainly in his children"

Son of Noted Financier Gives Views
On Money Market Troubles.
His Statement Is An
Important One
BY HOLLAND

New York, June 29.-(special)-J. j.
Morgans appearance as witness 6e-
fore the public service commission of the
second district of Kew York was the first
opportunity since the death of his father
for public scrutiny of his personality and
for comparison of him. even in a small
degree with his father. He gave testi-
mony to the commission in support Of the
plan of the New York Central Railroad
company for consolidation of the rail
road system in New York with the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern railroad
system.
Since Mr. Morgan testified it has been
many times said that the conciseness lu-
cidlty and yet comprehensivenees of some
of his statements disclosed a peculiar eift
for utteranees of that kind which was
characteristic of the late j. p. Morgan.
Many times the remark has been made
tLat nobody has put into briefer and yet
more lucid form an explanation of the
present troubles in the money market. He
compacted his explanation into faw
WORDS He said that the legitimate call
for capital is now much greater than the
available amount Therefore the demand
for money IS higher than it has been at
other times. 1t has been observed that
Mr. Morgan said mat the call for capital
is a Legitimate one. In the use of this
word Legitimate he excluded speculative
demands apparently assuming that at the
present time there ere few or no demands
for funds intended to be used in what is
commonly understood by the term specu-
lation. There isn't any speculation. But
nations, states and municipalities are
seeking money as we'll as the railroads,
ana these are legitimate demands in the
BUSINESS meaning of that word.
Resembled That of Father
Mr. Morgan was unable to say whether
this condition would be brief or long con-
tinued. His statement in its form and
substance is exactly as his father would
have formulated the idea had he been
called upon to testify about present con-
ditions.
Mr.. Morgan was very happy in his illus
tration He stated that the state of Ten
nessee has as high credit and is just as
good a security as any other state, yet
that great state is unable to sell long time
bonds, and its representatives have been
busly occupied in attempting to find a
market for Cne-yeai notes with. the pro-
ceeds of which they may be able to tide
over present financial smbarrassments.
The case with Tennessee is not question
of credit or security, but of available
funds.

paratively small issue of one year notes,
why should it be deemed an opportune
time to offer some $1,000, GOO for sale in the
United States of the national securities of
Mexico?
The explanation is that the international
loan which Mexico has made is to ne a
cooperative one, France taking about
one-half. or nearly S150O0,000, Great Britain
ABOUT one-quarter, and the United States
and some of the smaller nations of Eu-
rope are to cooperate to the extent of
some $S,000,000 Undoubtedly this loan has
