a necessity incident of control of a
system of railways. 1t now seems
likely that publicity will demonstrate
that this suspicion of all railroad bank
ers, like the suspicion of unlawful
profits of the railroads themselves, IS
q delusion. The recently publication
by great banking house in New York
OF the details of its accounts with the
New Haven Railroad revealed to an
astonished world that over many years
OF the largest financial transactions
the bankers profits averaged seventeen
thousand dollars per annum. This
may well give us all pause in our pre-
conceived opinions, and, in further aid
OF clear thinking as to your and my
relations to the bankers, venture 10
say in conclusion word as to what
these bankers do for you and for me.
Every one of you has a large per-
sonal interest in the perfection of the
of commerce. l myself have a per-
sonal ambition and steady determi-
nation to accomplish every year step
towards the realization of your inter-
est in this respect. To do that will
require bringing into the South many
millions of new money We cannot
hope to earn from our service to the
Southern people all that we need to
Epend on these railroads as fast as
we must spend it. Even if we devo-
ted all of our income to that end, and
fer many years we have so devoted
most of it, the agricultural and in
eustrial South is growing SO fast that
we could not keep up with it, much
less keep ahead of it and so help it to
grow. Neither is the South itself yet
ready to provide the capital by buying
our securities. Under the operation
of the new income tax law we have had
an opportunity, never before possible,
to ascertain where and by whom
many of our railway securities are
held. In this way we have identified
certain representative block OF one
hundred and ten million dollars of
Southern Railway bonds and find that
they are held not only in New York,
hut in most Of the States of the United
States and in many foreign countries
and by nearly eleven thousand indi-
viduals. OF this total, less than three
and half million dollars is held by
seven hundred individuals resident in
the States the Southern Railway
serves, and sixty per cent of these
holdings in the South are in the two
cities of Richmond and Louisville. This
demonstrates that the money we have
secured for the Improvement OF the
Southern Railway in the past has
been drawn not from few rich mex
but from an army Of investors having

at stake an average of not much more
than $4,000 apiece, and that the South
itself, which has had the benefit of the
expenditure of the money in the pro-
notion of an unexampled growth of
prosperity, has as yet contributed only
three per cent of the capital
am glad to be assured that these
bankers have realized that the South
lis the coming part of the United States.
and so are confident that they can
safely venture their reputation in dis
distributing the securities of Southern
Railway Company under present day
conditions. / am glad too, to believe
that have their personal confidence
and that they will listen to my recon-
mendations. They have already sup
piled fifteen million dollars of abso-
lutely new money on such recommen.
dation since the first of January last,
and they are ready to supply more for
the Improvement of the Southern Rail-
way plant. All Of this is to be spent
for the South, most Of it in the South,
in such ways that eventually it will
seep into the accounts OF many South
ern merchants. just as the proceeds of
a large crop eventually reach the mer~
chants. Every one whom now adj
dress has an interest in the disburse-
raent of this money and in what will
result in the way Of personal conyen.
fence and facility for doing business
from its expenditure. It is as if q
rev crop worth fifteen million dol
lars had been produced in the South
this winter. Think what the rejoicing
would have been if it had been crop!
It is, then, of great importance II
you and to me and to all the people
OF the South to have and toI hold the

, confidence of these bankers. The way
not propose an investigation of the
bankers business. 1 do not even pro-
pose a new statute to compel them tc
supply us with money: that might be
the simplest way, but it appears that
no investigation nor any statute has
yet been devised to make a banker
invest where he does not want to in
vest: such miracle is apparently
one of the few things which neither
an investigation nor statute can be
made to perform. The bankers do no.
ask any gratitude, any lip service for
they expect to get their reward in the
form of commission: that is their
business. They do not expect to con-
troll the railways as the popular mag
nation picture them as doing: to make
rates and initiate policies affecting the
welfare of thousands of people. Never
in my personal experience with them'
and it has been an intense experience
over many years, have heard sus-
gestion of that kind of interference
nor have experienced an attempt TO
exercise such power through the COL
troll of the sources of money.
In prosperous community there Is
only one condition of the bankers CO.
operation, but it is an essential one
that the public shall be as fair in the
treatment of invested capital as IL
has demanded that those who control
Esouthern Railway as an instrument
invested capital shall be fair to inc
public.
Personally have no doubt that We
lin the South shall meet the condition
and get all the money we need.

Engines Kill Many Workers.

Chicago, Nov. 29.-Almost half Of
the enginemen on railroads die vie
lent deaths, according to statistics
which will be presented in the course
of arbitration which will begin here
tomorrow to adjust differences be-
tween 5000 enginemen and the
ninety-eight Western railroads on
which they are employed.
The hazards and hardships of en-
gineers, firemen and hostlers will
be urged, among other arguments,
for standardization of employment
regulations and an advance in wages.
The last advance, averaging about 10
per cent, was granted in 1910, ac-

Bates County and the
Presbyterian Sunday School
at the State Meeting.

At the 49th annual meeting of the
Missouri State Sunday School Con-
vention held at Springfield last week,
Bates county came off with flying
colors, as did the Presbyterian Sun
day school of our city. Bates county
was awarded first prize on Sunday
school exhibits, was one of the thr-
teen to obtain front rank and was one
of the four counties to obtain first
in elementary work receiving silk
banner for the same. Last year at
St. Joseph, Bates county received the
only banner given for elementary
work. The Presbyterian Sunday
school of our city obtained first prize
this year on primary exhibit. This
makes the Presbyterian bunch feel
good. Most of the county workers
are from this school and they are
known through out the state for their
excellent work. On Sunday morning
last, this school gave short harvest
program. The decorations were
unique consisting of the products of
our gardens and farms. These with
the canned fruits amounted to 81 with
an offering of $40 were turned over
to the Board of Employment and
Public Welfare for the poor and
needy. The pastor says this is the
best Sunday school for supporting
benevolent purposes he has ever had
and this year they are doing better
than ever.
