THEN AND NOW

dren. statute books fairly bristle
with formidable laws that offer pro-
lection to their moral, mental and
physical welfare. With the pioneer
society as an inspiration, children's
aid societies, humane associations,
founding hospitals. and their like
have sprung up all over the world.
In the United States today there are
about i50 societies whose purpose is
the prevention of cruelty to children.
while ii is estimated that there are
at least 100 more such societies scat
tered through the civilized countries.
Even Asiatics and Africans are now
protecting their youth of both sexes
from inhuman exploitation and
abuse. During its forty years of
benevolent work, the New York So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children alone investigated about
$4,000 complaints that involved the
welfare of about 100000 New York
children under the age of 16 Nearly
100000 of these were rescued from
immoral surroundings, physical cru
city, neglect and destitution. Every
state in the union has its labor laws
which affect the 100000 American
working boys and girls between the
ages of 10 and Is, which the Ma
tional Child Labor Commission Is
endeavoring TO make uniform
throughout the nation. There are
children's courts, to dispense justice
to large part of the juvenile de-
linquents reported annually in this
country. There are homes for the
crippled and the deaf and dumb,
and there are creches where the
working mother may leave her chill

RAILROADS READY FOR TRIAL
ON TWO-CENT FARE CASES

Oklahoma City, Dec. 19.-Whilc
the notorious &c passenger rate
cases are set for trial here Jan. I
IL Is thought there will be no vehe-
ment insistence on the part of the
state of Oklahoma TO bring them to
trial at that time. On the other hand
the railroad companies are under
stood now to be ready for the hear
ing, and It may be that they will
insist upon trial
The date set for trial is but five
days before the change in state of
ficials. Attorney General West, chief
counsel for the state, will go out
of office Jan. 1. To be sure, the
state has in the case j. NJ. Hill of
Arkansas, former chief justice of that
state, who has been successful in
the rate cases there on behalf of the
people. But the state will naturally
want the attorney general to be in
the case and familiar with It, 1t has
been estimated that the trial will
consume thirty days at the very least,
and probably much longer.
These suits have been on the
docket of the federal court for a
long time. Last spring they were to
have been tried, but for one reason
and another they were put off. Judge
Youmans OF the federal court fol
the western district of Arkansas waS
assigned to hear these cases, owing
to the demands upon Judge Cotteral
of this district in other cases being
over heavy. In June the court heard
pleas in the case: later overruled a
motion by the state to dismiss the
cases on the ground that
failure of the railroads to
make compensatory earnin ng
was due to the freight rates and
not to the passenger rates.
Roads Claim Rates Confiscatory.
II is understood that the railroads
are now prepared to make their
showing that the rates complained of
are conhscatory under the formula
that was outlined in the decision by
the supreme court in the Minnesota
cases. The working out of this for
mula has been a tedious and labori-
ous task. 1t has required the un-
divided attention of experts in rail-
road accounting for many months.
II is a work that has been done by a
number of the western lines cooper

fund of almost $6OOO,0O0, charged
while the railroads were enforcing a
Sc fare. and represented by excess
fare coupons that are held by many
thousands of persons and the un'
claimed portion of which. if allowed
will be converted into the state
treasury.
With the railroads for the first
time ready and anxious to try the
case, and with the state apparently
willing that they shall be permitted
to drag along a while longer. it may
be hazarded as a suggestion that the
outlook for the carriers in Oklahoma
might be worse.

Forty years ago today the worlds
first child welfare society was or
ganized in the city of New York.
II named itself the New York Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children. Pior to its origin children
in the hands of unnatural parents,
fenseless. one summer day in 1874
charitable workers visited woman
dying of tuberculosis in the slums
of New York. She complained that
she could not die in peace because
of the almost constant cries of a
child in an adjoining room. 4 little
waif, Mary Ellen by name, was found
locked in bare room. Her head and
body We're covered with bruises and
cuts, and in the room were found
the rusty shears with which her step
mother had been in the habit of tor
turing the child. Stirred to the depths
of their hearts the charity workers
appealed to many officials, organiza-
tions and influential citizens, always
to receive the disheartening reply:
We can do nothing unless the child
is brought to us legally, and proof
offered that an offense has been com
mitted" 1t happened that there eX-
listed a society for prevention of cru
city to animals. AS Il last resort
the charity workers turned there, and
in the dark days of the 70's" the
first legal protection given an abused
child was under the laws that pro
tected dumb animals. That expert
ence set in motion the movement
that resulted IN the first society in
the world for the prevention Of cru
city TO children.

atng and which has cost, as was
shown in a recent interstate com
merce commission hearing, a vast
sum of money. The former method
of arriving at the compensation from
rates as divided by state and inter-
state was simple. The new method
is complex. The results are prac-
tically the same.
While the Oklahoma railroads are
now understood to be ready to try
these cases upon the theory that the
&c fare is confiscatory, it is also
true that movements have been
started in other &c fare states to
make the proper showing of insuf
ficency of the rate to pay returns
on the investment. In Missouri,
this movement is already under way.
In Kansas, notice has been given
that the showing will be made. In
Nebraska and Arkansas, some s,Gi-
lar proceeding is expected. fhe
work that has been done by the
railroads following the Minnesota
case has indicated that tie showing
of inadequate returns from &c pas
senger fares is possible to prove.
Contentious of State.
In the coming trial the corporation
commission representing the state
will attempt to show two things:
That the revenues from &c fares are
greater than those from Sc fares in
proportion to the cost of the ser
vice to an extent that makes the
&c fare more profitable for the rail
road; that the property of the rail
roads is less than is claimed by
them and therefore the percentage
of earnings is greater than the rail
roads admit, and ample to pay a
reasonable return on the value of
the property.
1t has long been the contention
of Commissioner Henshaw that the
railroads make more profit from &c
fares than they would make from SC
fares. The figures for intrastate
business are adduced to prove this.
The other side of this contention is
that the figures, as shown by the
books on intrastate business, contain
a very large percentage of Interstate
business, owing to the practice of
passengers repurchasing tickets at
state lines on interstate journeys,

Word comes from Louisiana that
the Bull Moose contingent is organ
izing for an aggressive campaign in

to afford two of the principal planks.
We rather guess that the Mexi-
can feature was injected to save the
situation from appearing too much
as selfish protest against tho tariff
policy OF the Democratic party. The
manoeuvre is familiar one with
politicians of the machine stripe.
There is not any likelihood that

Wanted-A Pie Distributor.

The average man may be excused
If he becomes somewhat befuddled
on reading the several dispatche s
from the Ninth Congressional Dis
trict published in yesterdays Tiffies-
Dispatch.
Under Wise and Wythevillc date
lines he Will read that Republican
mass-meetings were held for the
purpose of electing delegates to the
district convention to be held at
Bristol on July 8 Under a Bristol
date-line he reads that n Bull Moose
mass-m Getting was held to elect dele
gates TO the district convention to
be held at Bristol on July 8. His
first idea is, OF course, that the Re
district are to hold their conventions
on the same day. in the same city.
A more careful reading Of the Bris-
tol dispatch. however, discloses the
fact that the two conventions are
the same, and, led by this popularity
to reread the other dispatches, he
learns that the Bull Moose and the
Republican delegates are going TO
fight over what party shall hold tho
convention.
To relieve his perplexity. we in
form the reader thaj there is no Bull
Moose party In the Ninth, and no
Republican party. There is Demo
cratic party and conglomeration Of
men who are out and want TO get
in. They will he Republicans or
Progressives after the convention
according rs the convention decid es
which is more likely 10 get the Jobs.
Our prediction is that the party will
be composed of followers Of Roose-
welt, followers OF Taft and followers
OF any old leader who can distribute
the pie, and that all will be united
under the district leadership of Bas-
com Slemp-standpat Republican.
