RAILWAY BUILDING IN 1918.

4 summary of railroad construction in the Unit
ed States during the year 1913, compiled by the
Hallway Age Gazette, shows total of 3,07l miles
Of new first track This mileage is approximately
the same as that of 1912 and that of 1911.
The Gazette figures show that new mileage was
reported in 1913 by 238 companies in fOrty-Seven
States. No mileage was added in Connecticut.
Rhode Island Delaware or Alaska. Montana led
in new construction with 375 miles. Texas was
Ond with $50 miles. Other States in which more
than 100 miles of new line completed are
Washington, 209 miles; California 164 miles
North Dakota 1872 miles; Arkansas l39 miles
Oregon, 1913 miles; Illinois ia miles; Tennessee,
Ill miles Florida, 105 miles; Michigan, lO4 miles
and North Carolina 104 miles
Kentuckys mileage of new first track for 1913
was AZ "a miles, compared with 1853 in 1912. In
addition there was reported 1912 miles of second
track, compared with 93.70 miles of such track in
1912. This represents double track work by the
Louisville g. Nashville and by the Cincinnati, New
Orleans & Texas Pacific. All the new construction
was in Eastern Kentucky The Beaver Creek branch
of the Chesapeake e. Ohio, twenty-one miles. was
the longest.
The Railway Age Gazette says the outlook is not
promising for busy year in 1914, as only one or
two large contracts have been let since July l.
''The small amounts of new lines now under con
structiOn indicates that the mileage built in 1914
will show a further decrease unless conditions
change radically in the spring"
Kentucky's prospects for 1914 would seem to be
for an amount of construction equal TO that of
1913 The Clinchfed is building to the Elkhorn

HOW A RESERVE BANK WILL OPERATE.

To proceed with simple explanation of the
Currency bill, let us take the Federal reserve
bank that will be located at New Orleans as a start
ing point, This bank must have a capital of at
least $4,000000 1t will have duties to perform for
the region assigned TO it, which will doubtless
prise the State of Louisiana and several adjacent
States in whole or in part. All of the national
banks in this district must become members of the
system and must subscribe in proportion TO their
capital to the stock of what will be called "The
Federal Reserve Bank of New Orleans" State
banks may also join the system upon their own APP
plication This bank at New Orleans will be man
aged by a board of nine directors, three of whom
will he named by the Central Board at Washing
ton Three of the other six will be bankers chosen
by the membership banks of the district The other
three will be citizens of reputc who are not bank
ers but who will also be chosen by the membership
banks. This bank at New Orleans will hold part
of the reserves of the membership banks and will
do general banking business upon its own capital.
Let us suppose that in the time of the moving of
the cotton crop great deal of money is needed
temporarily in the New Orleans district. This
can be supplied in several ways. The Secretary of
the Treasury. acting with the Central Reserve
Board at Washington may transfer additional de.
posits from unused money in the Treasury The
Federal Reserve Board may make temporary trans
fer to New Orleans of surplus reserve funds in the
Federal Reserve Bank at Chicago, or the one at
New York. But the thing most particularly to be
noted is the fact that the Reserve Bank at New Or
leans will be prepared to rediscomt cotton bills
and commercial paper and to supply the numerous
membership banks with currency to be loaned to
their customers upon such paper.-The American

2,64O DAILY NEWSPAPERS
In United States and Canada. In Forty
Different Languages.

Philadelphia The forty sixth annual
census of the publications of the Unit
ed states and Canada, published in the
American Newspaper Annual and Di'
rectory shows that an average of five
new publications were started every
working days during 1913.
The total number of publications is
2l,527.
There are 2,6IO dailies-the evening
editions outnumbering the morning by
about three TO one.
There are 572 Sunday papers.
1t requires forty different languages
TO carry the news to the people OF this
country.
Only four industries now exceed in
capital invested and value of products
in the business of publishing and print
ing.
In ten years the output increased SO
per cent, and it is estimated that at
present the earnings of newspapers and
periodicals average nearly million and
half dollars per calendar day.
Twothirds of this amount, perhaps
represents the income from advertising.

OHIO TOO MUCH GOVERNED.

We have before us State Auditor Donahey in
teresing tabular statement of the State expendi-
lures during the past year. When one glances at
the columns of figures for this and for that he is apt
to wonder how much of it is necessary and if good
deal of it cOudnt be saved. How much of it the
budget commissioner knocked out we cannot say.
Maybe he Knocked out all he could but we are GER
tain not all that ought to be thrown aside as need
less Why, it is an awful expense. 1t is bewilder-
ing. Why the legislature doesn't eliminate about
IS per cent. as not doing the people particle of
good, we cannot say.
Much of this expense has grown on the State
like the miStletoe on the majestic oak. Can it be
possible that We are keeping up government for
the sake of government? When gazes upon
that table of expenditures he is almost convinced,
as the saying goes that s about the size of it. There
are some things in that statement that don't cry
stazc to any noticeable extent in the public well
fare, And there are other things that convince an
mtutorcd mind that we are governed entirely too
much.---State Journal

THE CASE FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE
IN A NUTSHELL.
La the woman stay nt homcl

Let the woman stay at home!
One of tho pioneer preachers of the
West used to stop at the house of the
writer's father. Upon one occasion of
one of his visits the writer's mother
asked him: "Why don't you bring
your wife with you sometimeH"
And his reply was: "Women and
cows should stay at home.
BY all means the woman 3 sphere is
the home; but we must redefne the
word Home.
Home used to mean the four square
walls of the woman's hut. Over the
fence, down the lane and throughout
the wide world was no home of hers.
There was man = place, and there his
adventure.
But unfolding time has taught the
woman that it il working against cruel
odds to try to keep a clean home in a
dirty city.
The home instinct in her has gone out
to the ends of the earth, seeking to
defend itself against the remotest en-
vironment.
"She is concerned about a treaty
with a foreign country just as she is
about the price Of bread in her neigh
borhood market. To admOnish the
woman to remain within her four walls
and to content herself with what she
can learn and do there is to commit
her to inefficient motherhood and wife.
hood,' writes woman recently.
SO she is interested in voting, she
wants say in the choice of them that
make and administer laws, she wants
to know about systems of education
and to assist in determining who shall
teach, she must know how the Church
is managed, she attends woman's clubs
and discusses philosophy, sociology and
literature.
She has not left her home She has
enlarged her home. She is realizing
that to redeem one spot of earth one
must redeem the whole earth.
Instead of Selling her babies and
fleeing to safety in war, she proposes
TO stop war.
Instead of healing her alcohol.diseas'
ed boy she declares she will abolish the
free vending of poison.
To keep her table wholesome she gets
after the food inspectors of the city,
state and nation with a sharp stick.
She not only protects her daughters,
she says that nowhere in the nation
shall there he traffic in virtue.
She has not deserted her home. She is
building walls about her country and
making of the whole nation home.
And she will never be satisfied until
with broom and soap and antiseptic she
has cleaned THE WORLD and made
the globe a fit place for children aud Il
decent place for men.
