Henry Lane Wilson Sues.

Henry Lane Wilson, former
United States Ambassador to
Mexico City, has sued S. Boyd
White, doing business as the
American Lyceum Bureau, for
$1,000 alleged to be due him on a
contract to deliver Chautauqua
lectures on the Mexican Pro-
.blem."
AR. White has an office in the
Pierce Building, but is said to be
delivering lectures in Indiana.
Mr.. Wilson alleges he made a
contract with the American Ly-
ceum Bureau to lecture from
two to three weeks in Missouri,
Kentucky and Arkansas. He
says he spent three consecutive
weeks on the circuit, paying his
own expenses.
Mr.. Wilson was not sent back
to Mexico after his return to the
United States last spring, be-
cause of some of his utterance'
that displeased President vii
sOn.-St. Louis Times.

Sleeps"
EXTRACTS from the remarks
made by Rev. S. O. Hall at the
funeral services Of Mr.. David
.Russell.)
We are here to pay the last
tribute of our respect to one
whom we knew and loved, and
to show our tender sympathy to
those who are in the shadow Of
a sore bereavement.
Our prayer is that our Heaven
Ily Father will put around them
very tenderly his arms of love
and graciously comfort them.
After life's trials our friend
rests. Gods finger touched him
and he sleeps. when he had
served his generation by the
will of God he fell on Sleep"
"He came to his grave in a full
age like as a shock Of corn
cometh in in his season."
Mr.. Russell was a man Of
striking appearance. He was
courtly in his bearing and ar
rested attention in any crowd.
AS the years go by we shall
miss his loved form, miss him
along our streets, miss his gen.
ial smile, his tender greeting,
and his warm hand grasp. y
But Ito live in hearts we leave
behind is not to die" We are
richer in having enjoyed his
friendship. "The righteous
shall be in everlasting remem-
brance."
He has bequeathed to his
children a rich legacy: an unsul-
lied name, a spotless character
He was upright in his dealings
with his f%ellowmen, scrupulous-
ly honest in his business trans
actions, a man of unquestioned
integrity. "He wore the white
flower of a blameless life" His
. was a big heart, warm with SYM
pathy, full of kindly considera-
! ton for all. He delighted in
opening his hospitable doors to
the stranger. He made friends
and grappled them to himself
with hooks of steel. +
His was the old school charm
of manner. He obeyed the
apostolic injunction, "Be cour-
teous." We may say of our de-
parted friend what England's
Poet Laureate said of his,
"He bore without abuse.
The grand Old name of gentle
man.
He had a grateful heart. So
often did he refer to Gods good
ness and mercy which had fol
lowed him through life. + =
1t was a tender occasion when
he, not long since, made a pro-
fession of his faith and was adj
mitted to the communion of the
church. Never think of me as
dead, but just away, and more
alive than ever. Never. never
speak of me as dead" And oul
friend is not dead, and our loved
ones are not dead. They are
more alive than ever. They viii
be given back to our arms. W.
shall meet them and greet then
again.

earnest and active cooperation in
this matter, perhaps the one
common interest of our whole
industrial life.
Undoubtedly, men, both in
and out of official position, will
appreciate what is involved and
lend their aid heartily wherever
it is possible for them to lend
it. But the emergency is in fact
extraordinary and where there
is manifest common interest we
ought all of us to speak out in
its behalf, and | am glad to join
you in calling attention to it.
This is the time for all to stand

Railroads Lost Millions.
The net operating income Of
the railroads of the United
States for the year ending June
80, 1914, was $3.50, 600, 900 less
than for the previous year. The
gross earnings for the year were
$44, 000, 1000 less than for 1913
while expenses and taxes were
$4,000 1000 more. But heavy as
this burden was before, the great
struggle across the seas, carry
ing in its wake the destruction of
untold hundreds of millions of
dollars worth of all kinds of
property, renders the situation a
thousand fold more serious. 1t
means, in short, that for a num-
Der of years to come Europe will
have no surplus money for in
vestment in the United States
or elsewhere and that, as has
been stated before, our railroads
will have to finance their future
needs at home. How herculean
this task will be may be judged
from the fact that the bond and
note obligations which will ma
ture between now and the end of
next year and which the rail
roads will have to meet in some
way, amount to more than $685.
600, 000-and this doesn't take a
dollars worth of new improve
ments or betterments into con
sideration. These are obligations
which were incurred in the past
and which must be met as they
fall due if the transportation
companies are to be preserved
from wholesale receiyerships and
ruin.

between them and the people.
Again, it is undoubtedly true
that the world of railroad fl
nance as we'll as other lines of
industrial activity has had its
share of inexcusable abuses-but
just as the public does not hold
the banking world or the minis
try responsible as a whole for
the shortcomings of an occasional
black sheep, so the hundreds of
honest railroad officials through
out the country should not be
condemned because of the mis-
deeds of the few.
Who Owns the Railroads.
In this connection, it may be
said that the railroad world is
encountered with a lot of phan-
toms which exist only in the
popular fancy. For instance, be-
cause there have been some half
dozen so-called railroad mag
mates whose names have figured
prominently in Wall Street, many
people have come to believe that
the railroads of the country are
largely owned by a few rich men,
AS a matter Of fact, nothing
could be farther from the truth.
Out Of the colossal sum of TWEEN
ty billion dollars invested in
American railroad securities less
than five per cent is now or
ever has been in the hands of
these men who have figured
prominently in the newspaper
headlines-while the other 95
per cent is the hands of four
million investors, large and small,
who in many instances have put
