There are souls, like stars. that dwell

There are pioneer souls that blaze

Let me live In house by the side Of

way, In this country, the Baltimore

Charles Carroll Of carrollton, the
last surviving signer of the Declara-

Of the first directory of this railroad,
was present and turned: the first
spadeful Of earth, saying, II consider
this among the most important acts
of my life, second only to that of
signing the Declaration of Independ-
ence, if indeed, second to that"
TO the Blacksmith's association,
which presented to him the pick,
spade, hammer and trowel used in
the ceremony of dedication, Carroll
wrote: " You observe that republics
can exist and that the people under
that form Of government can be hap
pier than under any other. That this
republic created by the Declaration
of independence will continue to the
end of time is my fervent prayer.
That protracted existence, however,
will depend on the morality, sobriety
and industry Of the people, and on no
part more than on the mechanics.

POVERTY!

Don't you believe anyone who tells you that low
wages have nothing to do with white slavery. So
spoke Miss Booth just before she sailed for England
Coming from who has been engaged in the
work among the so-caed lower class all her life
these words are significant at time when are not
only attempting to arrive at living wage for girls in
industries also attempting to eradicate the vile
traffic in souls' .
Miss Booth, however does not stop at trying to es-
tablish minimum wage for women, but also believes
minimum wage should be set for Only in this way
if high enough the problems of poverty in
way be coped with. I.
The problem of poverty, according to those who must
contact with after is becoming more
aggravated the United States with all Of it's vast
resources. Seventeen thousand men cared for every
night in the hotels of the Salvation Army and 42,oo0
children fed clothed and otherwise cared for by but
of the hundreds of charitable institutions in the country
Bernard Shaw says the trouble of the poor is their
poverty of their poverty not hard to find

than a book full Of logic could con-

"All the traffic will bear" was the
most deadly boomerang for the rail-

fectly sound principle. it makes peo-
pie believe they are being :swindled.
There was a genius among railroad
workn1en who thought Of calling it

pressions that the crews on trains
were incomplete and so carried con-
victton among folks who do not stop
to reason.

Benefits in Currency Reform.
"Then came the currency reform.
You remember with what resistance.
with what criticism. with what sys-
tematic holding back a large body of
bankers in this country met the pro-
posals of that reform, and you know
how. Immediately after it's passage,
they recognized it's benefit and its
beneficence, and how ever since the
passage of that reform bankers
throughout the United States have
been congratulating themselves that
it was possible to carry out this great
reform upon sensible and solid lines.
Then we advanced to the trust pro-
gram and again the same dread, the
same hesitation, the same urgency
that the thing should be postponed.
1t will not be postponed: and it will
not be stopped because we are the
friends Of business. We know what
we are doing; we purpose to do it un-
der the advice-for we have been
fortunate enough to obtain the advice
of men who understand the business
of the country; and we know that the
effect is going to be exactly what the
effect of the currency reform was, a
sense of relief and Of security.
