PRESS OPINIONS
STAND BY THE RAILROADS
(St. Louis TlmeS)

The reports filed by the twenty
nine banks and eighteen trust COM
panies doing business in the city OF
st Louis show that there are 11,5OO
stockholders, owing and holding an
average of forty shares in such lnstl-
tutiols.
All of such institutions, as owners
and holders of stocks, bonds, snort
term notes and trust certificates, are
directly or Indirectly interested in the
railroads OF the United States, and to
a great extent in the railroads Of
Missouri 1t therefore, follows that
the 1880 stockholders are Indirect
ly interested in the prosperity OF
our railroads. To this number may
be added approximately ten times
that number, or $4,000 persons, who
are directly interested in the rail-
roads as bondholders, stockholders
and noteholders. In addition, there
are mort than five times that num-
Der interested in the railroads as en-
ployes and directly affected by The
operation of the roads.
To those above mentioned may be
added the members of churches,
hospitals, orphan homes, benevolent
and religious organizations, whose
trustees have invested in the securi-
ties issued by the railroads To that
extent every one in the community is
indirectly concerned in the prosperity
of the railroads of Missouri.
Upon the prosperity of the rail
roads depends the prosperity of the
state, the city and community in gen.
eral. Would it not, therefore, be in
order to join in petitio nor COM
munication, addressed to the Public
Service Commission of this State, re-
questing them to extend relief to the
roads by permitting them to charge a
passenger rate of 2 1-2 cents per mile,
it having been demonstrated to the
satisfaction of all reasonable per-
sons that the rate of 2 cents per mile
is not sufficient to cover operating
charges, not to say anything of earn
ing a return ON the moneys invested
in the roads.
Something must be done, and with
out delay, to asst the railroads out
of their present embarrassing posi-
ton, and it is up to all persons inter
ested, either directly or indirectly, tx
see that such relief and assistance
is Immediately forthcoming. If you
wish to promote prosperity in
Missouri, stand by the railroads in
their demand for increased freigh'
and passenger rates.

ROGRESS
ROSPERITY
GOOD ROADS SPELL PROSPERITY,

Referring to a movement for the
creation of good roads district, yes
terday's issue of the Chamber of
Commerce bulletin says the members
of that progressive organization ARE
trying to interest our neighbors north
of the river to form districts and
build turn-pikes to Plum bayou,
Tucker and Humphrey.
"Good roads," concludes the state
ment, fare. the best investment the
property owner can make and Jeffer-
son county is waking up to it's inn
portance."
Facts and figures to substantiate
this assertion are ample. That good
roads spell prosperity is proved by the
sections having the greatest number
Of miles of good roads. Every dollar
expended in, improving the highways
increases land values; lessons the
cost of transportation to the farmers,
town nearer to the farm, and in num-
erous other ways benefits directly and
Indirectly everyone residing on or
near the good road.
The "back-to-the-farm" movement,
pCovoked by the high cost of living,
would never have been started if
good roads had existed, because there
would not have been need for such
q movement. The farmers would not
have left the farm had they been able
to get to the cities and towns without
rolling through mud and mire. Good
roads make it unnecessary for the
farmer to live in the city in order to
give his children the advantages of
good schools, to be near churches and
be able to enjoy some of the pleasures
of the city which the farmer on the
bad road cannot do without inconven-
fence and expense.
The farm is mans natural habitat,
and the average man prefers the farm
as a place to live. The cost OF living
is not a bugaboo of the progressive
farmer, because his family's wants
are supplied mostly from the farm
and they enjoy every day what the
city man can afford to treat himself
to only once a week. But because
bad roads placed the farm so far from
the city, thousands have given up all
hope of the good things of the farm
for the few good things of the city.
Good roads change all this, and en-
able people to enjoy all the benefits
of life in the country, as we'll as the
educational advantages and pleasures
of the city. This makes for prosperi-
ty and contentment. And where the
country people are prosperous, so are
the city people.
The lands of Jefferson county and
southeast Arkansas will produce in
abundance crops of all kinds. The
value of crops on cultivated lands
may be increased by the adoption OF
better farming methods; thousands OF
acres that should be yielding crops OF
$500 and $500 year are idle. The
section needs more farmers; men who
will handle the soil as the banker
does his money: working all the time
and in ways that will return the
greatest yield.
Thousands of just this kind of farm
ers are looking towards Arkansas
! They are anxious to get hold OF cheaI
lands that will produce as well as the
$3.50 and $3.50 an acre lands of the
Middle West and the New Englant
states. They hesitate about locatin,
in the South Why? Because thu
3 south does not provide them with thu

LONDON. Feb. 21.-Next to the

On the other hand the militants de-
clare that the prevailing quiet has
only been a lull before the storm and
that their apparent submission to the
hated act was deliberately planned to
give the mice an opportunity to re-
coup their forces for a campaign
which will make all their former bat
ties with the Government seem COM
paratively insignificant.
l Threats which the militants have
made are carried out, however. the
year will outrank any other for trou-
blesome times. The effort TO reach
the King at Buckingham Palace, an
nounced as part of the program pro-
posed at the first meeting of the Wo-
mans Social and Political Union this
year, is only one of the ways in
which the women intend TO keep their
cause before the public.
