RALROADING

The Frisco railroad is one of the
greatest transportation systems in the
world, and is legitimate money
maker. That it is unable to meet its
obligations is not due to the high cost
of operation and the comparatively
low rates it is permitted to charge, as
many will claim. The trouble with
the Frisco is that it has been exploit
ed by money mongers. A good pay
ing railroad property has been abused
and MIXED. The money it has earned
mas been appropriated to pay profits
on stock exchanges. Not even enough
has been left of the earnings to keep
up the roadbed and equipment. In
TINS way the earning capacity of the
road has been seriously affected.
Raiiroadtng in this twentieth CEN
tury-with most roads-consists of
STOCK Juggling instead of efficient,
ouslness-Hke operation. The receiver
route has some illustrious presidents

Streetitis among railroads: The M.

SIX CENTS IN DAMAGES.

palgn 1T is victory for Roosevelt. who
asked nominal damages only, after the
enltor s retraction. and the verdict will
serve good purpose. In order to get
something interesting in his paper the
Marquette editor swung too far. He
probably was taking advantage of a
general understanding in newspaper
offices that you can say about what Won
please about politician or a man in
public life. So you can if you are con-
tempt1ble enough, and know how to saw
IT. The chances, are that the Marquette
editor is an amateur. The newspaper

they are fit for it. AS a last resort

There's a lot of boneheads runnin' aroun

And in cafes. takin' meals.

You think that some Teller Is crazy but
He also thinks that you are nut
When YOU git down to the real brass

And come to face the actual facts,
We are ali batty on some one rnlne,
We think we kin act or We can sing.
We think we kin criticise fine art,

There is no reason why this cubist pic

THE picture was drawn by Marcel Du-

why it is scrambled. 1t seems to as
though q terrible crime has been COM
mitted The nude lady who was decend-
ing the stairs was murdered, according to
our theory and the various portions of
her anatomy were carted away and hid

explains why the lady IS not SEEM Now
as 10 the staircase, it is our theory that II
was part OF an English country man
sion and was blown up by the murderer
to cover his crime The cubist artist then
came along and painted the picture.
The effect is that of a string of box cars
that have been mussed UP in a rear-end
collision. Maybe the lady was modest
and ran away when she saw the artist
coming. At any rate she isn't in the pic
ture Certainly the artist got there too
late to get either the lady or the staircase
in the picture
Personally we prefer the picture post
