THURSDAY, APRIL l6, 1914

During the decade from 1902 10 1872
the mileage of electric railway lines IN
New York State increased Al per cent,
while the number Of passengers car
ried increased So per cent.
In commenting on this Increase OF
passenger business on the electric roads
the New York World shows that it is a
new traffic which has been developed.
The passenger business OF the steam
roads has largely and continuously in
creased in the same time. "lf here
and there electric lines have robbed The
steam roads of local business, they have
more than made good the loss in slim
ulating long-distance travel"
The electric roads, as II rule, cover
short distances. Theirpassenger rates
are lower than those of the steam roads
Their cars are run more frequently
Their list Of stopping places is much
larger. These advantages have
brought them business from persons
who rarely patronized the steam roads.
The resident Of rural village who
misses a railroad train may have to
wait day or a night to get the next
train. If he happens to be living on a
trolley line and misses one car he need
only wait half hour or an hour and
take the next car. The electric roads
have added largely to human convent
ence, 10 the faclitation Of business and
to the saving of time.
There is great future for the cleo
trio lines. They can live in territory
where a steam railroad would starye
for lack Of patronage For this reason
there naturally will be great electric
railway development in the future
Their are not putting the steam roads
out Of business, although in many in
stances they parallel them for consid-
cradle distances. They have secured a
traffic which for the most part the
steam roads never would have received.

"A reporters account Of the separa-
ton Of Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Ali Haggin,
OF New York, grandson and grand
daughter-in-law Of James B. Haggin,
of Kentucky, California and New York,
includes the statement that their
friends agree that it was "a case Of too
much money"
II the list Of contentdly married rich
men were made up and placed by the
side OF the list Of the divorced rich the
first list would be- much the longer. II

life JOHN ID. Rockefeller and Andrew
Carnegie would have figured in the di-
vorce courts ten times as prominently
as William Ellis Corey, and the En-
peror Of Germany would not be "a
model family man" with palace fun
OF progeny.
Many more divorces are asked by
persons oppressed by poverty than by
the rich, and a far greater number Of
domestic establishments are Swallowed
by the necessity for miserable economy
than are shattered 10y surplusage. But
less is heard about such cases than
about the separations Of the notably
rich. There is much less popular in
terest in them,
Any days newspaper contains list
OF divorces asked 10y persons in humble
circumstances, or granted to them, up
on pleas OF nOnsupport, desertion, cruel
ty and other causes which Indicate
pretty clearly the shipwreck Of ro-
nance upon the reefs Of hard times
Yet separations resulting from the graf
ing annoyances or from actual hard
ships OF inadequate means are few in
comparison with the number Of cases
IN which married couples struggle
brayely and cheeriully together in ad-
verslty. Failure to get along is more "A
matter OF temperament than circum-
stances. The poor who cannot agree
to stand together dividing the burdens
OF existence, and the rich who have
too much money and too much time at
their disposal, aud must be amused,
are Of the same moral fiber, Both are
weaklings, selfish, shallow, egotistcal,
more in love with indyidualism than
with anything else.
Less is heard Of the happily married
rich, and Of the happily married poor,
than Of those who kick over the traces.
But neither money nor the lack Of 1t IS
usually the real cause Of separation. =

QUESTION here, there, everywhere-this
dreamy "expert" search that in the
end leads nowhere except straight into
the state treasury. Every investlga-
ton is costly. Thousands OF dollars are
wasted to no good purpose except part
isan politics, in proving that Senator
Stephenson spent small fortune in be-
ing elected to the United States senate.
Stephenson did with his abundant
means what many, if not all, his pred
ecessors had done In lesser degree.
And legislation to prevent the abnor-
NAL use of money in ELECTORAL affairs
could have been had readily enough
without wasting of public funds in de-
termining what all the state knew be-
fore.
So with other Investigations. Rarely
to they prove anything worth while
Yet they all cost, and cost heavily
Laws in abundance we have now for
the punishment Of every conceivable
crime, for the rectiilcatlon of every
imaginable injustice. Why squander
public funds in the remote expectation
perhaps of finding possible reasons for
The enactment of additional statutes?
What we want is less legislation, less
nosing into private affairs, less taxa
ton, less thraldom under CALLING laws.
Legislatures of the future, in this state
at least, doubtless will have had due
warning by the existing situation that
will stop these everlasting, mischie-
vous, impertiment and expensive in
QUESTIONS and junketings.
1t is easy to believe that something
in the nature OF stroke of paralysis is
about TO overtake this evil tendency.

GUARD SECRET CODE BOOK
Signals 70 30 Used by Navy In Time
OF War One Of the Most close
Of Secrets.

Few things are so jealously guarded
as the secret code book of the United
States navy. 1t is a book Of signals
not the ordinary '.wig-wag" signals
used In the daily direction Of the feet
by a commanding oficer-but a code
OF signals to be used solely in time of
war snd In the presence of an enemy.
These secret code books are issued
only to the executive officers of a ship,
who are enjoined to protect them
against theft by every possible means.
These books are threatened not 90
much by the ordinary thief as by Sc.
cret emissaries of other governments
who desire to obtain knowledge of
what our battleships would do in time
OF action. Governments have no scru.
PIES against theft in such cases.
The loss Of one of these secret code
books by an officer, unless explained
to the entire satisfaction of the secre.
tary Of the navy, would mean court.
martial and probable expulsion from
the service. To the honor of our SER
vice, no officer has ever yet been
brought up charged with loss.
The books are bound in heavy metal
covers, 30 that in time of threatened
capture they may be thrown over
board, sinking at once to the bottom
OF the sea, and thus avoiding seizure.
