1T Can t Be Done. -

The man who misses all the fun
Is he who says, 1T can t be done!''
In solemn pride he stands aloof
And greets each venture with reproof,
Had he the power, he d efface
The history of the human race:
We'd have no steam nor trolley cars.
No streets lit by electric stars;
No telegraph nor telephone.
We linger in the age of stone,
Where when some keen barbaric brain
Of life s conditions dared complain,
And planned a wheel on which to roll
The load his arms could not control,
Sneers rose from all the mighty crew
That ever SCOTS at what is new.
The world would sleep if things were
run
By men who say, cit can't be donel''

Never was rain more cheerfully
welcomed than this one. Dust had
become a burden everywhere, and with
the woods like finder forest fires were
a real menace. Many farmers have
been obliged to 90 long distances to
get water for their stock and for do
nestle uses. The ground was dry and
hard in places where it is generally
soft and moist. The rain has fallen
so slowly and evenly that it has all
been absorbed. There has not been
enough yet to repIenish springs, wells
and water courses, but a good begin
ming has been made in putting the
ground in condition to receive more
rain. Old observers used to say that
we would never have real winter until
the swamps were filed with water. If
that rule holds good this year many
inches of rain must fall within the
next few weeks. Nature is sometimes
a little freaky in her moods, but she
is pretty consistent in maintaining av.
erages.

The Balance Sheet of Governmental
Regulation

(From an address at Pittsburg by Ivy
l.. Lee of the Pennsylvania Railroad)
The Eastern railroads of the United
States invested in their property IN
the three years 1910-19l3 the sum of
S660,000,000 new money. Yet at the
end of the fiscal year 1914 these same
companies were 90,000,000 worse off
in net earnings than before the $685.,
100000 had been spent.
During the past four years the
Pennsylvania railroad system in
creased its gross business by $34 ,000,
000, but the increased expense of
handling the business was $50, 100000
Thus the increase of $34 100000 in
gross earnings was coupterbalanced by
loss of $21 100000 in net revenue.
The federal government and the
forty-nine states are pulling and tug
ging at railroad managers, giving
conflicting orders, imposing the ca
price of theorists oftentimes over the
experienced judgment of experts. The
field within which railroad managers
may exercise their trained abilities is
slowly diminishing. Expenditures are
being arbitrarily imposed, regardless
of their relative Instability.
| This invasion by government of
railroad management is one of the
disquieting elements of the future.
Government regulation, so sound in
theory, has up to now developed this
| situation: The public demands improv-
ing service; the increased and i'm
proved service does not pay its way;
| yet the government, while continually
interfering with management, accepts
no responsibility for the financial re
suit.
