chance destroyed, ths hardship la
tenfold greater upon thousands OF
everyday citizens-upon the frugal
mechanic in q New England factory
the widow with her life insurance
funds, and the countless other citi-
zens in every avocation and walk OF
life than upon the handful OF MIL
|lionaires, good or bad, who have
figured prominently in railroad CIR
cles. Thus, for instance, the great
Pennsylvania System has over TO-
900 stockholders. while the Santa
Fe has over 10000. and the same
ratio holds good in nearly all the
other lines.
But that isn't all. For many years
railroad bonds were considered the
safest and soundest investment in
the country, and hence hundreds OF
millions of the assets of our great
life insurance companies, banks, be-
nevolent associations and colleges
were invested in them, and the mo-
ment, therefore, that the soundness
of these securities is affected the
financial solidity of these myriad IT,
stiutions is greatly menaced at the
same time.
Carrying 1t a step further, 1t
means that every holder Of an old
line life insurance policy and mil
lions OF depositors in savings and
other banks, and those interested In
many fiduciary, benevolent and edu-
cational institutions are directly
concerned in the present situation,
which threatens to largely destroy
the former high regard in which an
investment in railroad bonds was
held.

transportation system is at stake,

how vast and overshadowing our
railroad industry has become-how
they are not merely the giant arter-
les of agriculture and commerce, but
how closely their welfare is woven
into the woof and fabric OF the en-
tire nation. Among other things, 1t
should remind us how interdepen-
dent we have come to be In this
mighty republic of ours-that each
is in truth becoming more and
more his brothers keeper, and that
we need to think ami act carefully
lest in our mistaken zeal we destroy

During the next few weeks we
promise the reader the mosL lnC'-

RESIDENT WANTS
THE FAIR PAVILION
PARTLY REMOVED
QUESTION AGAIN PRESENTED
TO CITY COUNCIL AT
MEETING LAST NIGHT.

The matter of removing that par;
of the fair pavilion that occupies a
portion of Railroad street was again
up for discussion before the council
last evening Judge Lowell, attorney
for Elmer Searcey, who Is the petit
toner, appeared in person before the
aldermen and requested that some ac-
tion be taken, declaring his client,
though humble. had the same rights
as any other citizen.
Because the fair pavilion Is the
home of Happy Canyon" and the
granting OF the petition would be a
serious blow to the Commercial asso-
ciation's entertainment, the members
of the council were 10th to give or
ders for the tearing down OF any part
of the pavilion though recognizing
that the law is probably on the side
of Mr.. Searcey. Councilman Murphy
declared his opinion that Mr.. Searcey
showed poor grace in asking for the
removal of the building in view of
the nature of the house the police rec
ords show he has been running.
The matter had previously been re-
ferred to the police committee and
another week was granted for a re-
port 1t was suggested that the Com.

Ever since the depressing-not to say
honestly discouraging-def ad-
ministered by a tall Georgian whose
name we shall not mention for fear
OF giving him too much publicity for
his vaudeville ventures, the new line
up of the Mackmen has been chosen
by the experts. And the baseball ex-
perts are almost as numerous this
year as the military experts and give
forth their opinions with equal aban-
don Sufficient to remark at this
time, Connie Mack has the final say
in the matter
A few things, however, may be per-
mitted. One is that Walle Schang
will continue at the old stand The
second is that the young blood on the
Mack hurler corps will be very much
to the front The third is that new
race VIII De seen In the outtield. The
fourth is that the Athletics will be
more popular in 1915 than they have
in the last few years-which is not
saying much. The fifth idea is not
such lead-pipe cinch but there is a
strong probability that someone else
will be lowering around third base
