Frenzied Financiers Should Suffer.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

FROM the PTlladelpnla Ledger.
With the fling of the decree dissolving
the New Haven monopoly, a discreditable
chapter In American finance will be end
ed. There is no need to rehearse the sue
cessive steps in the attempt to control
transportation in New England. They
were taken with great disregard of pub
agement. The New Haven will retain
leased lines properly acquired; but the
Boston & Maine and the trolley roads will
regain their independence.
That the new regime will benefit the
New Haven itself is obvious. Already
much has been done under the capable
management OF Howard Elliott to repair
the ravages of the Morgan-Mellen die
tatorship. The equipment of the road will
be brought up to the proper standard
and the money of the stockholders will
not be frittered away in crazy expert
ments. Indeed. public opinion has been
so educated by the story of the wrecking
of a great corporation that similar at
tempts ought to be impossible hereafter.
If any further Illustration of the folly
raent be needed, it may be found in the
record of the Rock Island, now also laid
bare to the general view. The evidence
us quite as sensational as that which was
furnished at the New Haven investiga-
ton. Millions AT the time were lost in
transactions By "~syndicates;'' in plain
words. stockholders We're robbed with the
connivance of directors. 1t may not be
possible 10 get the money back in either
ease; but the interests of Justice would
be served Ii a few eminent %ffnanciers were
left to cool their heels in Jail. Guilt in
such cases is distinctly personal.

What Rooms the Automobile.

1T seems very queer how few realize the
great Importance of the automobile and
the many good things it does and should
have credit for. While I was out In Ne
braska some time ago I drove over a 2s-
mile rural mail carriers route and the
carrier showed me where he had filled up
holes az he carried a shovel on every trip,
and took along an ak to u poles for a
bridge and his road was a rough. hilly
drive, but the care n attention given it
by this carrier made 1t pleasant, and 1t
appealed to me as one of the good things
the autos have done to encourage good
roads.
When Ringling Bros. circus was in the
city this summer / asked them how their
business was and they said never as good
and they couldn't take care of 1t. / asked
them what made 1t and they were prompt

In keeping treaty obligations the United
States has a similar record. Even IN the
hysterical days of the civil war, When
wrought, this government scrupulousiy
adhered to it's treaty stipulations to keep
no fleet on the lakes. It desired to end che
treaty restrictions, but it gave the six
months notice stipulated in the treaty
for that purpose.
Before the civil war the United States
entered into a treaty with England re-
garding a canal across the isthmus, when
1t had no notion of constructing the
canal itself. But 1t recognized its treaty

treaty. In interpreting this new treaty 1t
has just given the world another example
of ideallsm. AT President Wilson'S re-
quest it has provided hat American ship
ping shall pay the same toll charges as the
shipping of other nations.
There is often a disposition among So
! phisticated persons to speak sneeringly of
this splendid record, this record of which
all Americans nave a right to be proud, on
the ground that this country has not been
subjected to the temptations of European
nations. But the point is that progress IN

not under temptation. New standards are

biles, with their machine guns, rem
dered great service, but the automo-
biles, each containing 10 or IL infantry
men, were able to place these supports
in goodly numbers with the cavalry
and the light batteries of machine guns
making their occupation of positions
more certain and permanent.
Again automobiles, following these
food and medical supplies, and, upon
the fine roads Of Belgium, these are
said to have proved of the greatest
utility to the armies.
1t is evident that the auto vehicle
has made a successful entry into a
new field and one that will call forth
the inventive and constructive genius
of motorcar designers in a direction
far different from any line yet devel-
oped.
The Communicated cars Of July and
August will be now succeeded by spe-
cially designed cars adapted to the va
rious uses of armed forces in warfare.
1t is said that already orders from
abroad for several hundred armored
automobiles have been placed with
auto manufacturers in Philadelphia and
if the war lasts SO long as Earl Kitch-
ener fears, u shops may secure much
larger orders from the belligerent ma
tons.
Our own army should place large or
ders for specially designed vehicles at
once.
There remains now not the slightest
doubt as to the auto vehicles utility
in campaigns Of war.

South Chjna's Great Famine.

reported by the c~onsul-general to involve
as many as 100000 in property loss.
Many millions in distress will need help
until the next harvests. In many places
whole villages have been blotted out. The
loss of life may never be known but the
suffering caused is appalling. This is only
the beginning. Help is needed now. De-

AS citizens Of a Christian nation we
hear this appeal in behalf of those facing

immediate loss of life is concerned, than
do the people of the nations in the great

eclipse those occasioned by the worst of

Important experiments have recent
ly been made by the fisheries expert
for British Columbia in connection
with the hatchery operations. Last
year at Seaton lake, instead Of plac-
ing all the sockeye salmon eggs in
trays, as has been the custom hereto
fore, a plan a adopted more in
keeping with the natural methods fol-
lowed by the fish. The eggs, after
having been ~inoculated with the
lymph, were buried under five to sew
en- inches OF sand and gravel. Over
100000 ova were thus treated in tanks
especially made therefor, and as a re-
suit $4,000 healthy fry have been
taken out with the possibility Of more
to follow. This is a splendid record,
as compared with the old pan sys-
TEN, and it is believed by the experts
that the new method will revolution
ize the business of the hatcheries.

War Horses In Action.
From Tit Bits.

L ~ ~
Tt will probably surprise you, said a re.
tired colonel of hussars, to learn that a
cavalry horse usually enjoys a battle at
least as much as his rider, and displays as
much courage in it. He will chafe and
stamp will impotence while waiting for
the order to charge, and at the signal will
dash forward like a greyhound released
often neighing wildly. At the moment Of
ontact with the enemy he will rear,
striking and biting savagely at the OPP

When his rider falls he will dash along

Five horses raced neck and neck with

And not only is the well-trained charger
as brave as his rider: he is often as in

fact, l have known many a case in which

custom the horse to the sound of firing at
close quarters. With this object he is put
on the ground with legs tied. and while in
this position a pistol is fired close to his
ear, over his back, between his legs, and
so on, until his fear is overcome. After a

In the Eighteenth century $50 horses fell

1865 the proportion had fallen to 100; and
approximately liz horses to 100 men. In
some charges, however, the proportion has

Auto Vehicles in Warfare.

While the value Of the aeroplane and
the Zeppelin in warfare are as yet un-

OF far greater service in the existing
Wal than was ever dreamed Of by their
advocates.
The revolutions in Mexico brought
them into notice through their use in
conveying commanding officers with
great rapidity from point to point of
their lines of operation, and Huerta,
upon several occasions, moved scouting

Just think of what a wonderful amount
brings to Sioux City, and the number OF
different makes that are sold. It's only
a short time ago that an auto was con
sidered q luxury. Now it's known TO be
a necessity; in fact it's q business propo-
sition. Look at our large and small stores
that have auto delivery, and some rave
special delivery motorcycles that go every
where with light packages at a rapid rate.
Even the Interstate Commerce mlni
sion has taken up with the railroads the
matter of building larger box cars SO they
can put more auto cars in each load. The
autos are much cheaper now than years
ago and they are many points better han
ever and the accessories are way cheaper
and better. even the gasoline that used
u cents a gallon. If a man and his fam
lily want a real outing they cook up a
basket full of grub and drive 80 or 60
miles out to some lake and rave a good

I was in Chicago a short time ago and
the superintendent Of one of our large
railroads told me the auto was q sore
thorn for them as so many thousands
went in autos rather than on hot crowded
trains. The farmer with his auto can

It's only a short time ago the govern

rural mail carriers use an auto to deliver

them use autos as they make SO much

The experience of Motherhoodis a try
ing n to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not n
woman in a hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with IN organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
ahappy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexpiainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with m
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator Of the female organism.
