They have been forced by government com petition to make Improvements which they never would have madc had tt not been for that competition. and to this extent the country has benefited.
 The neglected Held is that of dis tribution. It 10 the one line in which the century has seen but little im- provemAnt. Here is the situation: Transportation between cities has been so improved that the cost of moving goods long distances Is lower In the United States than in any other country in the world. But the cost of moving goods from the term inal to the consumer in the city was never higher than 1t is now.
 A ton of goods can be moved 800 miles by rail for less cost than the same ton can be moved a few blocks n the city. Pound for pound. it costs ten times as much to move a pas- ,aenxer between cities as 1t does to move freight. In the city passenger can be carried many miles for b. cent piece. It will cost him ten times as much to move his trunk. of the same weight. . few blocks.
 The express companies which are waxing up to their opportunities ars starting to handle goods, not only along the lines of communication be- tween cities but within the limits oi the cities. to an extent which they nsxsr before have done.

Ar good an explanation as can bs supplied for the long refusal of the business of the country to respond t' the basicly sound conditions presented is to be found in some figures recent. iy compiled by the Pittsburg Gazette Times. They are figures available tt any one who has . nle of any dAisy
 newspaper for the past eighteen
 months.
 The Gazette Times takes for the purposes of its comparison the mar ket prices of stocks of twenty of the largest corporations in the country ten industrials and ten transportation lines. It compares the prices at which the stocks of each of these corpora tions sold in October. 1912. tho month before the last national election. with the prices of May of this year. fifteen months after the present administra tion took oface.
 The decline in the market or sell ing price of the .tocks of theAe twen- ty representative corporations during that interval was . total of $ses. .s7s.- e4A ,The hundreds of thousand of stockholders fn these corporations. if forced to realize upon their property. would among them have to put up with . loss of more than half . bf- lion dollars. On some of these stocks dividends have been cut; on others they nemain intact. None of the cor porations included in the list is among thoSe which have been in financial dimcnities at any time during the past two years and none of them is in difficulties now.
 The graAd total of depreciation in the prices ef all of the stocks listed on Wall street since the result of two billions of dollars. And this deprecia- ton has come during . period when general conditions have been funda- mentally sound. There have been haFvests. with crops selling at highly rsmunsrative prices. and . record breaking crop season is now opening. The investors of the coun- try feel themselves two billions of dollars worse or than they wers a year and e half ego. Is there any wonder that they feel discouraged and for further Investments for awhile?

 The president has played no selfish politics with the situation. He has courted no careless popularity. This is . thing in which motives are of paramount importance. and his mo- t.vas are in harmony with the best that is in the life snd traditions of tks American people. Regardless of p.litical difference which may cause many to oppose some of the admin istration's measures. the American people will have perfect confidence in hls honesty of purpose fin handling the Mexican question and will hope- euiiy await the results of mediation.

Fought With Lions.

Set upon by five angry, half-famish-
ed lions, unarmed, and with an aged
lioness as his only defender, Emerson
D. Dietrich, of Brooklyn, N. Y, a
Cornell graduate and manager of a
trained animal act, fought thrilling
but futile battle for his life in a box
car in the yards Of the Santa Fe
Railway, at Chicago, yesterday af-
ternoon. Before aid could reach him,
Dietrich had practically been torn to
bits by the Infatuated beasts, which
crouched over the bleeding body, re-
fusing to permit it. to be dragged
from the cage until they had been
forced away by the fumes of formal
hyde. Nearly every bone in Dietrich's
body had been broken, and it had
been gored beyond recognition by the
beasts.

MARRIAGE FRUSTRATED
WOuld-Be Bride and Groom Inter.
ccpted While in the Act of
Procuring License.

Gustavus Pritchard, aged 2G, and
Sadie Day, aged IS, who reside neal
Camp Spring, Nd, appeared in this
city this morning, bent upon matri-
mony. The couple had entered the
office of the clerk of the Corporation
Court for the purpose Of procuring
a license Wien the neculean form
form of Chief Goods suddenly doomed
up. and brought the procedure to a
standstill.
1t seems; that the. parents of the
young woman, James and Lucy Day,
were not ready to pronounce a bless
ing upon the nuptials and sent Pres
ton B. Allen, brother-in-law of Miss
Day, to prevent the marriage. He
pursued the clippers to this city and
arrived in the nick of time, as had
he been fifteen or twenty minutes
later the couple would have tied a
knot with their lips which they could
not have loosened with their teeth.
Miss Day subsequently started for
home in company with her brother
in-law, and the wouldlbe benedict
followed in their twain.

ibermaA, yesterday was burned to
death and his wife fatally injured

she sustained burns from which she
died early tonight.

woman's screams. The woman still
was conscious, although her cloth
ing had been burned from her body.
She described the tragedy to ply
sicians, who were sunAatoned in vain

TOBACCO CROP A FAILURE.

Lynchburg, Va, June 22.--The
drought, which has prevailed here for
more than two months, has done great
damage and many farmers in this
section will have no summer crops.
Hundreds of planters have been un-
able to get tobacco plants trans
planted. 1t is said that even with IA
vorable conditions for the, rest of the
season not more than one-fourth Of a
crop will be raised. Five or six large
factories will be without crop to buy
or handle. The crop last year sold
here for more than $1,500,000.
The hay and spring oats crops have
been almost entire failures. Wheat
is short and corn is making no head
ray.
The drought has also been hard on
the canning industry of this section
and few, if any of the canneries will
open during the. season.

MORE DOUBLE TRACKING
Southern Railway Company's Elk
tensiye improvements Planned
for Danville Division.

Lynchburg, Va, June 22.-During
the past week lnlore than fifty rail-
way contractors have gone over the
Southern Railway between Elma ami
Amherst Courthouse, which the COM
pany proposes sooiis to double track.
The presence of these contractors
there gives rise to the belief that the
Improvement is to be undertaken
without further delay. All the sur
veys were completed more than a
year ago, and it is believed the work
up to this time has been delayed
pending the rate decision by the in
terstate Commerce Commission
The distance to be covered by the
contracts. is nineteen miles, some Of
which will he very costly construc-
ton. One cut near New Glasgow
will cost the company about $780,
900 in excavation alone The cut will
be eighty feet deep for two tracks,
the new Grade at that point beng
seventeen feet lower than the present
track. 'sS
The system last year extended the
double track from Monroe to short
distance north of Amherst Court
house, and the next link will take it
ne far north as twenty-seyen miles
south of Lynchburg and will give
about seventy miles of double track
through Lynchburg. 1t is believed
that within the next two or three
years the entire distance between
Washington and Danville, a distance
of 24O miles, will be under double
track.
