A Great Responsibility.

Radical as were some of the utter
ances in President Wilson's address to
Congress on Tuesday, disturbing as they
would have been to business generally
and the securities market in particular
year ago, the effect now will be bare
ly perceptible. The country was pre-
pared for those things which the Presi-
dent actually recommended be put into
law, and commerce and industry will
not halt because of them. Certain other
projected reforms, which Mr.. Wilson
presented to Congress merely as sug-
gestions, the business world must neces-
sarily view askance, if not with appre-
hension.
Needless to say the long looked for
address to Congress was able and
scholarly. All of the Presidents utter
ances are. The note of reinsurance to
business interests. running throughout,
sounds studied, as it doubtless was, for
it has become apparent of late that the
President and many of his advisers
realize that while they regard reforms
as necessary and are determined to put
them into effect, they must proceed with
caution and consideration, to avoid re-
tarding industrial progress and the pro-
cess of adjusting business to the strange
conditions confronting it since Demo-
cratic ascendancy.
With calm confidence the President
recognizes and accepts for his party,
and the men it must trust to carry out
the laws of its making, tremendous
responsibility. 1t appears in his refer
ence to the railroads and their financial
requirements to meet the growing de.
mands for increased transportation facil-
tiles. He says:
The country is ready, therefore, to
accept, and accept with relief as well
as approval, a, law which will confer
upon the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion the power to superintend and reg
ulate the financial operations BY which
the railroads are henceforth to be sup
piled with the money they need for
their proper development to meet the
rapidly growing requirements of the
country for increased and improved
facilities of transportation.

ssT DOUBT If any railway executive think

think 1t was four or five years before
President Newelrs death. When / reached
the station to take a train east, i found
that the private car of Uncle John was
attached to the train. He invited me to
ride with him from Cleveland to Buffalo.
"For almost the entire distance Uncle
John sat looking out from the rear win
dow Of his car upon the tracks and road
bed. He occasionally pointed to places
where the grade had been eliminated or
where curves had been greatly reduced
In some cases so much as that there
was a long tangent He told me that
IL he lived long enough he would have
practically every grade eliminated and
every curve. excepting those necessi-
tated by the passing a the tracks
through some of the cities, Strengthened.
He said that 1t was worth all the money
that 1t cost. He told me that the Lake
Shore Railroad was originally built In
hurry, SOFAS TO compete with the Michi-
gan Central. Its promoters were anxious
to get into Chicago ahead of the Michi-
gan Central. For that reason. they sur
veyed and built the road In the easiest
way. not caring whether the grades
were heavy or the curves many and
sharp. II was Uncle Johns life work to
correct these early mistakes. He told me
that IL he could he would be glad to have
his road as straight as the one between
st. Petersburg and Moscow. practically
an air line without a grade. He said
that II this could be accomplished the

that which Uncle John displayed when

And he had the satisfaction Of knowing.
. year or two before his death, that he

road managers. and that the lesson was
this: The better the roadbed. the
straighter the tracks and the greater the

Z Poor helplessly. .harried humanity
there is no rest for it this side the
grave. In Culpeper, Va, for example,
where the misinformed had thought
there existed a healthful quietude re-
dictionary from the Late Unpleasant
ness, the Enterprise prints the follow
ing under a startlingly black caption,
"An Exciting Scene"
"Mr. Chspman's four-horse team
was frightened while standing in the
front of the mill, and started in run.
In making the turn to Davis street the
team and wagon took the pavement in
front of the Standard Oil Office, and
then took the middle of the street,
successfully turning South Main street,
it continued homeward bound. Fortu-
nately no collision occurred in town and

sST DOUBT IL any railway executive
i officer or operating manager was
ever SO completely absorbed in his
railroad as was Uncle John Newell dur
ing all the time that he was president of
the Lake Shore railroad" said the late
Charles Finney Cox to me at a time
when he was speaking OF some Of his
early experiences with men who made
names for themselves in a generation
which is now past as railway managers.
Mr.. Cox himself was identified with rail-
way management. at first In the West,
and afterwards. for some twenty years,
an executive officer holding a very i'm
portant post in the Vanderbilt railway
system.
"Uncle John,' as everybody called him.
was a grand character" Mr.. Cox con-
tinued. He was not only greatly re-
spected. but he was regarded with real
affection by thousands. His railroad was
his life. 1t meant to him all that an inn
portant business does to other men, and
In 1t he found the recreation which others
discovered in yachts or excursions to
Europe or in racing stables or magnifi-
cent country homes. The Lake Shore
railroad, not merely as a company, but
as a visible property-I mean its tracks,
bridges, roadbed, its engines and its
equipment-was the delight of Uncle
John.
He was q civil engineer by training
and presume 1t was that profession
which led him to consider and finally
work out as comprehensive = plan for
Improvement as had been up to his day
considered or acted upon by other rail-
way managers.
'It was his ambition to reduce every
Grade to minimum. and to make his
line as nearly straight between Buffalo
and Chicago as the geographical contour
of Lake Erie on the south side would
permit

Strike Made At Nevada-DouoIas

A Yerington, New, dispatch says:
At the Nevada-Douglas property
northwest of the big incline shaft on
the Ludwig, out towards the gypsum
deposit, very fine development of
chalcopyrite ore of considerable magni-
tude has been made. 1t is said to be
even better than the Casting Copper, so
far as development has been done. 1t
shows an average of Is per cent copper.
This development is one of considerable
Importance to the property, being SO
far north and west of anything hereto
fore found and in virgin ground. The
property has always been one of sur
prises, and this is but another.
We are informed that work on the
new teaching plant to be installed will
commence in few days, and that in
stead of being of $50 tons capacity, it
will be of $50 tons capacity to start
with. The experimental plant is said
to have demonstrated the perfect ex-
traction of the metal from the ores.

Women May Hold Office.

Mrs. Frances Willard Munds has I'M
necessarily agitated herself on behalf
of provision of the constitution OF the
state that would indicate that women
might be barred from holding office
under it. The article in question reads:
Article w, Sec. ii. "No person
shall be eligible to any of the offices
mentioned In Sec. l, except male per-
son of the age of rs years, etc.
This article refers to the qualification
of office holders, the age limit for GER
tain Offices ranging from rs years to 81
years.
Now, we would refer Mrs. Munds to
the section of the constitution, with
which we take it she IS unfamiliar, and
it is to this effect:
Article III, Sec. II. "NO person
shall be entitled to vote at any general
election, or for any office that now is,
or hereafter may be, elective by the
people, or upon any question which
may be submitted to a vote of the
people, unless such person be citizen
of the United States of the age Of
twenty-one years or over, and shall
have resided in the State one year i'm
mediately preceding such election
The word "cltlzen" shall include per-
sons of the male and female sex.
The right of citizens of the United
States to vote and hold office shall not
be denied or abridged by the State, or
any political division or municipality
thereof, on account of sex, and the
right to register, to vote and to hold
otnce under any law now in effect, OF
which may hereafter be enacted, Is
hereby extended to, and conferred upon
males and females alike.
Now, Mrs. Munds must have over
looked something when 1--WE had the
amendment drawn comforting the right
of franchise upon the women" as no
such proposition exists as she would
have the women electors of the State
believe. Women have the same right
to vote and hold Office as the males,
the amendment adopted at the last
election comforting every right that
the mere male enjoys so far as voting
and holding office is concerned, and if
the progressives wish to nominate Mrs.
E. N. Phillips, and the republicans Miss
Kate Christie, for the office of Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction, and
either one of these good ladies are
elected they will be indicted into office
without the fear that quo warranto
proceedings will be brought against
them to Gust them from office.
