U. S. Doing All Possible.

The only material point for us to
consider is whether, if the United
States was nonresident in this affair.
we could do anything better for our
selves than it is e%ndeavorlng to do for
us. To that question there is none but
a negative answer.
I'VE greatly deprecate all efforts in
this country TO force the United States
into an adventurous policy out of keep
ing with President Wilson's IDEAS
The Pail Mail Gazette says:
President Wilson's action sweetens
the atmosphere of international rela-
tons between US and our kin on the
other side of the Atlantic. We may
question, if we will, the wisdom with
which the high moral principle guiding
President Wilson has been applied to
Mexican questions and others. but in
all matters we shall h%enceforth feel
confidence that, insofar as he controls
affairs of state, they will be conducted
as by n who having sworn INTO his
%neighbor, Disappointed him not,
though it were his own hindrance.'
Panama Exhibit Urged.
While acceptance Of the invitation

good will"

Strict Accountability.

A general admonition contained in
the report made it clear that the COM
mission hereafter will hold TO strict
accountability all common carriers
for the accuracy and truthfulness of
the statements contained in their re-
ports of financial operations.
In some instances, the report ex-
planned "a financially strong road
making large net earnings would not
hesitate TO conceal the fact by adding
to its operating expense accounts
sums disbursed in improving its prop
erty; on the other hand, a financially
weak road, seeking to enhance it's
credit by a good showing of operating
results, would include in its property
accounts sums expended in operation.
THE result vas that a carriers an
nual and monthly statements of net
revenue often reflected nothing more
than the particular showing desired
by its report. These reports were
often used for speculative purposes
and stockholders and the general pub
lie were left without any assurance
as to whether the dividends declared
were paid from income or surplus or
out of caDital.

Anecdotes

Speaking of humorists brings us to
the fact that no man living can look
quite SO solemn when producing hu-
more as Irwin 8. Cobb, the well known
comedian of the Saturday Evening
Post. When Cobb was on the staff
of one of the big New York newspa-
pers he did various news assignments,
some of them mighty serious and 9TH
ers that gave him a chance for COM
edy. 1t was standing joke about
the Office that anybody could look at
Cobb as he bent over his typewriter
and tell which kind of yarn he was
writing. If his face was all wrinkled
up with solemnity like bloodhounds.
with a sad look about the eyes such
as one rarely sees except in an under
takers hostler, Cobb was preparing
something that would make hosts Of
people laugh.
