UntenabIe and Ridiculous.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
now for the first time in many months
shows a disposition to expedite the rate
advance cases.
This is well The dilatory position OF
that body had become untenable and
ridiculous. The peutioning railroads, in
demonstration of their need. have been
offering to the commission earnings and
expense figures not only prepared in ac-
cordance with an elaborate syTtem Of
bookkeeping prescribed by the commits
sion. but accepted by the commission
and carried on its own records true
exhibit of traffic q nuitions.
The commission therefore ought to
know whether the railroads are in honest
need Of increased rates or not. II ought
TO know whether or not President Will
ard. of the Baltimore and Ohio. talks
facts when he describes the railroad
situation as critical. II it does not know.
II only condemns its own system of rail-
road reports and its own capacity to
sit in such a judgment.
The delay In this case has already been
carried to farcical length. It should
end at once with a decision one way or
the otheT.-New York World.

The Crisis.

President Willard. Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, told the Inter-
state Commerce Commission that the
railroads were facing a crisis. What else
but crisis is 4 rapidly decreasing mar
gin between earnings and expenses?
What else is the failure Of increased in
vestment to keep earnings up to the
point formerly reached with a smaller
outlay OF capital? What else Is the neces-
sity for laying on vast armies of en-
ployes? We speak of this blow to labor
as a crisis for the railroads because II Is
always a critical thing for an employer
to be compelled to disorganize his staff
OF workmen gradually built up and edu-
Gated to a state OF efficiency. The rail-
roads will not recover in many months
from the setback caused by the present
period of enforced economy.
The figures with regard to earnings
and operating expenses introduced by
Mr.. Patterson. general counsel of ths
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. tell how
serious the crisis Is. Operating revenue
OF Eastern railroads declined S5l. 10000. or
225 per cent, In the seven months pre-
ceding January 3. 1914. as compared with
those of the corresponding seven months
OF the preceding year. In the same Pc
riod the operating revenue OF the rail-
roads of the Central Freight Association
showed a decrease of sa5.ooo.ooo or 3o7 per
cent. On the three principal railroads Of
the East-the New York Central, the
Pennsylvania md the Baltimore and Ohio
revenue declined s26.0Oo,Ooo. or 24.s per
cent.
II is not only crisis for the railroads
1t is a crisis for public regulation of the
railroads The Tribune says this with re-
luctance. having been forced to the con-
clusion. This paper has long been an ad-
vocate of public regulation and has
urged and defended all sensible extern
sions OF IL. But IL is a serious thing that
public regulation should have brought
the railroads &c the condition in which
they are today and should be slow TO af-
ford relief-almost incompetent TO make
up its mind as to the necessity for relief
The Interstate Commerce Commission
has grave responsibilities, but seems un-
equal to them. Its work requires great
understanding. but II is full OF the sus-
picions which beset minds that do not un-
derstand. II prescribes accounting sys-
TENS, yet hesitates as IL II might be de-
ceived by what they show. II chooses
strange and noisy advisers. uttering wild
charges. Mares nests possess an ire
sistible attraction for it. 1t should know.
but II plainly does not know. Public
regulation must do better than this.
A crisis II certainly Is, however you
look at it.-New York Tribune.

FISHERMAN TELLS THIS ONE
Giant Sturgeon Tows Austrian to Camp
and Is Later Served to Crew OF
Hungry Men.

Lashing a 100-pound sturgeon to a
raft, when he found the fish too heavy
to carry, forcing the big member OF
the finny tribe to haul him into camp
where later the sturgeon was served
up to a crew of hungry men, Is the
latest fish story that has reached
Boise. 1t was brought to Boise, Ida
no, by Frank Maxwell, an engineer
of the forest service with headquar-
ters in Boise.
A large crew of men Is stationed at
the Ok Bow tunnel, on the Snake rtv-
er, between Idaho and Oregon. A
rancher named Mcpherson notified the
foreman in charge of the camp that
If he would send some of his men up
he would give them a fish. Thinking
that one man could manage a single
fish without trouble, the foreman sent
one of his Austrian laborers after it.
When he arrived at the Mcpherson
ranch. however. the Austrian found
the sturgeon.
As the fish was still alive the Aus
trian built a raft from logs, leaving
an opening In the middle for the fish
to- swim, and then dashed the stur
geon securely to the raft. Pushing
the craft from the shore he allowed
the fish to propel him into camp, sew
eral miles below. A fish menu was
served at the camp that night.

WORTH WHILE.


Don't ask, HAS the world been true
to- me?"
But have | to the world been true?
'Tis not what you get, but what you
give,
That makes life worth while to you.
'Tis the kind word said to the little
child,
AS you wiped its tears away;
The smile you brought to a care-worn
face
That really lights up your day.
'Tis the hand you clasp with honest
grasp
That gives a hearty thrill;
'Tis the good you pour into other lives
That comes back your own to fill.
'Tis the dregs you drain from an
others cup
That makes your own seem sweet,
And the hours you give your fellow
men
That makes your own life complete.
'Tis the burdens you help another
bear
That makes your own seem light;
'Tis the dangers seen for another's
feet
That shows your path to right;
'Tis the good you do each passing day
With a heart sincere and true
BY giving the world your very best,
It's best will return to you.
