ssREGULATORS.o

The first active measures for resist ing British authority in America were taken at a meeting held on this date in 1767 in Orange county. N.

EARL OF DERBY INHERITS LOVE FOR RACING.

The seventeenth Earl of Derby, who will pass his forty-ninth milestone to- day, has inherited, along with his title, estates and ability as a states man, a passion for horse racing that has long been a family trait. For many generations the Earls of Derby have been patrons of the turf, and one of them inaugurated the greatest of English racing classics, the Derby.
 The first Earl of Derby received his title and estate for his heroisrn at the battle of Bosworth in 14S5. The fourth Earl was peer at the trial of Mary Queen of Scots. Succeeding heads of the house achieved fame in various ways, and in 17s0 the then Earl gained immortality by institut- ing the Derby and the Oaks. The fourteenth Earl headed three admin istrations, forming ministries in 1851, in 1858 and again in 1866. The if teenth Earl held cabinet portfolio under Gladstone, but later became the opponent of Gladstone on the Irish Home Rule question. The sixteenth Earl of Derby, father of the present holder of the title, was Governor-Gen- eraI of Canada from 1888 to 1893, succeeding to the ear1dom in the lat ter year. and held several public posi- tions of importance.

THE COST OF IDLE OR s HALF WORKED PLANT

0 NE OF THE strong points made by mod 0 ern systems of efficiency, is that business plant will be success unless it is kept running somewhere near it's top capacity
 Meny manufacturers, for instance, viii re- call how in former days they gave comparative 1y little thought to this idea. There was little effort to systematize mill production down to regular basis. If there period of weeks when production fell off, it attracted compara- lively little notice.
 Modern scientific efficiency analyzes pro- duction costs more carefully. It shows how when production falls below normal level even for day, there is a heavier burden to be added to each article produced, as overhead charge, hour, day, or week.
 grown very fast during recent years, is that re tail merchants understand how this principle applies to their business. In former days 8 merchant fitted out his store, hired his clerks and satsdoun to wait in passive fashion for business. He was very apt to find that he did not do amount of trade that was normal, eith- CT for the capital invested in Iipment and stock, or for the cost of his help. The result was that the proportion of failures among re- tail merchants used to be abnornnally large There is rarely any money in a store that does not have the appearance of being busy.
 It is not a difficult thing to turn the current Of trade in any given direction. It is not hard to convert an idle or half worked and unprofit- able retail plant into a busy and profitable one If the stock is well chosen and offered at fair prices, the public can always be interested in it. It is simply question of taking in de- tail the various attractive features of the stock, and talking about them through the newspaper.

MISTAKEN VIEWS OF LENT.

a .O PEOPLE who do not observe the institu-
 ton of Lent, the various distinctions made by church people seem farcical. One gives up dancing, but does not cut out bridge. An other tangoes freely. but eschews theatrical per formances. It seems like hair-splitting.
 The true spirit of Lent, however, is some thing that ought to appeal to every one. be he churchman not People live iii too hurried way. Their time is too full of trivialities and material pursuits. They need to give more thought to the things of life that really count
 Here is where Lent is valuable to many per sons who have no very strong sentiment Of wor- ship, or do not have strict views about amuse- ments. They do not feel it is wrong for them to dance in Lent. It is simply that they are wise enough to know that they need occasionally a 1et-up in the social pace. They need to stop and think what the purpose of life really is The healing influences of periods of quiet and reflection are known to too few people nova days.

JOHN BURROUGHS, SEVENTY-SEVEN s
 FINDS EACH DAY TOO SHORT.'

k6W STILL FIND each day too short for all
 the thoughts want to think, all the walks want to take. all the books want to read, and all the friends ] want to see The the beauty and wonder of the world 2
 So wrote John Burroughs naturalist, es- sayisf philosopher of the forest, friend of the beasts and birds and all living things, in his last book, 'sThe Summit of the Years.n The contemporary and friend of the good gray poet Walt Whitman, and many other distinguished. men who have gone before, the venerable sage Of Slabsides, was born st Roxbury, N Y, v years ago yesterday, April B. 1887. At s-The Summit of the Yearsl' he could look back upon an active, useful life devoted to the ser vice of humanity. In his youth Burroughs was school teacher. treasury clerk and 8 national bank examiner but for forty years he has lived on farm, devoting his time to literature and fruit culture, and to that com Tnunion with nature which resulted in such books as Far and Near Ways of Nature 7 Bird and Rough, . and others equally delight ful to those readers who can turn from the hurIy-burly of existence and understand and respond to such appeal as this:
 Fl have loved the feel of the grass under my feet and the sound of the running streams hy my side. The hum of the wind in the tree tops has always been good music to me, and the face of the fields has often comforted me more than the faces of men,
 And. at 'sT1he Summit of the Years John Burroughs found this lesson of life:
 That one may have happy and not al together useless life on cheap and easy terms; that the essential things always near al hand; that ones door opens upon the wealth of heaven and earth and that all things are ready to serve and cheer me- Life is a struggle, but not a warfare; it is days labor but labor Gods earth, under the sun and stars, with other laborers. where we may think and sing and rejoice we work

RAILROADS PLEAD POVERTY BUT THEIR DIVIDENDS WERE AS MUCH
 IN MARCH 1914, AS IN MARCH 19f3

TH HE RAILROADS. having for many years abused every privilege the American people granted them, are shrieking loudly for an increase in freight rates, claiming to do "a losing business.
 In the general letter on trade conditions, compiled by the Connecticut National Bank as q forecast for April, this statement is found
 1.-THE RAILROAD DIVIDENDS ARE PRAG- T1GALLY THE SAME AS LAST YEAR
 There is but one way 10. handle a railroad rate case just to the railroad and just to the pub .Iic. That way is to ascertain the.value of the property used for the public, and to permita a rate adequate to pay reasonable profit upon the property so used.
 In most cases such valuation would re- suit in a reduction of rates, because the rail roads are paying dividends upon millions of wa ter, entirely unrepresented by property.
 The difficulty with the New Haven is not in the earning power of the company, but because hundreds of millions of dollars have been vast cd in the purchase of properties, most of which could pay profit on the value of the property, used for tn public but which not able to do this and pay also profit upon he LIE ABOUT THE PROPERTY.
