RAILROADS APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT
The Common Carriers Ask for Re-
lief President Wilson Directs
Attention Of Public to.
TL.I. Af.-a

n Common Carriers ASK Tor ne
lief - President Wilson Directs
Attention Of Public to.
Their Needs.
The committee OF railroad exeCu-
tives, headed by Mr.. Frank Trumbull.
representing thirty-hve Of the leading
railroad systems Of the nation, recent
ly presented to President Wilson a
memorandum briefly reviewing the dif.
iiculties now confronting the railroads
OF the country and asking for the co.
operation Of the governmental authori-
ties and the public in supporting rail-
road credits and recognizing an emer.
gency which requires that the rail
roads De given additional revenues.
The memorandum recites that the
European war has resulted in general
depression of business on the Ameri-
can continent and In the dislocation
Of credits at home and abroad. With
revenues decreasing and interest rates
increasing the transportation systems
OF the country face Il most serious
crisis and the memorandum is a
strong presentation Of the candle
burning at both ends and the perils
that must ultimately attend such a
confiagration when the flames meet
is apparent to all. In their general
discussion the railroad representa-
lives say in part; By reasOn Of leg.
i%slatiou and regulation by the federal
government and the forty-oight states
acting independently OF each other. as
well as through the action OF a strong
public opinion, railroad expenses in
recent years have vastly increased,
No criticism is here made of the gen
eral theory OF governmental regula-
ton, but on the other hand, no in
genuity can relieve the carriers OF ex-
penses created thereby"
President Wilson, in transmitting
the memorandum Of the railroad
presidents to the public, characteN
ICES II as "a lucid statement Of plain
truth The president recognizing
the emergency as extraordinary, con
t%inuing, said in part:
You ask me TO call the attention
OF the country to the imperative need
that railway credits be sustained and
the railroads helped In every possible
way, whether by private cooperative
effort or by the action. wherever
feasible of governmental agencies, and
/ am glad to do so because ! think
the need very real"
The conference was certainly a
fortunate one for the nation and the
president is to be congratulated foI
opening the gate to a new world OF
effort in which everyone may cooper
ate.
There are many important prob
lens in our complex civilization that
will yield to cooperation which viii
not lend themselves TO arbitrary rul
ings OF commissions and ~hnencing
railroads is n OF them. The mar
with the money is a factor that can
not be eliminated from any business
transaction and the public is an inter
ested party that should always be con
suited and happily the president hai
invited all to participate in the solu
ton OF our railroad problems.

In too many instances the country
papers mimic the city press by CIV
ing prominence to scandals. accidents
and political agitation. The new
rural civilization has placed upon the
rural press renewed responsibilities
and enlarged possibilities for useful
ness. IL cannot perform It's mission
to agriculture by recording the frail
ties, the mishaps and inordinate am
billions of humanity. or by filling lis
columns with the echoes OF the strug.
giles Of busy streets. or by enc anting
stories Of city life which lure u
children from the farm.
Il has a higher and noblcr task
Too often the pages of the city dailies
bristle with the struggle Of ambitious
men In their wild lust for power. and
many times the flames OF personal
conflict seal the tender buds of new
civilization and illuminate the path
way to destruction. The rural press
is the governing power of public senti.
ment and must hold steadfast to
principle and keep the ship OF state
In the ruadstead OF progress. Ihe
rural press can best serve the inter.

Berlin. May14.-A military IN
surance company, the German Mill
tary Service and Life Insurance
Company of Hanover, has become in
volved in financial difficulties owing
to the war. Through deaths at the
front its payments have so increas-
ed that it has had to appeal for as
sistance to other companies, and
thirteen of these have responded to
the extent of some s3,500'0OO. BY
drawing on its reserves the company
has thus been able to meet $1,000
600 of its obligations, but further
sum of nearly s5.O00,O00 will be
needed before the end of the year.
1t is regarded as noteworthy
achievement that not a single i'm

The Boy And The Man

The following was found among
the late Col. Frank L. Mayes' papers,
and, reveals the man:
AT home in his mothers arms to-
night | have a baby boy; a little
laughing, rosy fellow. The bloom of
youth is on his cheeks, the laughter
of childhood is on his lips, the light
of love and trust is in his eyes. The
patter of his little feet and the pratt
tie of his baby tongue are music,
sweeter to me than all the SYM
phonies of the spheres.
HE is a baby now. He knows
nothing of the great worlds trouble
and turmoil, the temptations, the
pitfalls, the dangerous and devious
ways of life Supreme in the do
main of a mothers love and a faith
er's care, he is not concerned with
the problems OF today or the posi-
bilities of tomorrow. He only
knows that he is happy and the
dreams of his little life are all real
lied in the joys which babyhood
brings and leaves.
But that little fellow will be a
man some day He will awake some
morning to find that somewhere,
somehow, in that slumber zone which
none of us can comprehend, he has
passed from boyhood to manhood,
and he will leave his fathers roof to
face and fight the battles of life.
When he does so he will meet foes
and find conditions that he never
knew existed. He will see inequality
and injustice and human suffering
wrought of avarice and vice. He
will find mantraps and gilded vesti-
bules of crime existing under the
cloak of responsibility and the pro-
lection of the law. He will see the
strong depressing the weak, and he
will hear the cry of the defenseless
before the grinding wheels of privi-
lege and power He will face con-
ditions which breed poverty and
want and awful misery on the one
hand, and out of which grow opu.
lence and luxury and unearned ease
upon the other.
And when he finds these things
as he will find them, because there
will be evils to combat then as wei
as now want him to know TIVE
things. l want him to know, first
that his father was not responsible
for those conditions; and I want hin
to know, second, that his father di'
what he could to prevent them.

MEXICAN MONEY NOT
WORTH MUCH
(By Associated Press.)

Mexico City, May 14-The pur-
chasing price of Mexican paper
money has been decreasing steadily
until today the Mexican peso is
worth but 1f cents gold in this
city, instead of so cents in normal
times The price of commodities has
risen accordingly and the populace
has become greatly excited.
A few days ago the exchange val
ue of the peso was the occasion of a
heated debate among delegates at
tending one Of the national conven-
tions now in session. A orator had
bean holding forth for hour or more
in an incendiary speech wherein he
charged Wall Street and the finan-
ciers of London, Berlin and Paris
for being responsible for the "thir.
tty cent" variety of money now pre-.
vailing here. He was interrupted
by the President of the session, who
said:
"Mr. Delegate, I desire to cal
your attention to the fact that thu
relative value of Mexican paper cur
rency and the gold coin of foreign
states is due in a large measure t
the law of supply and demand"
Then" Numbered the orator, {,
demand that this law be repeale,
forthwith"
Il The statement met with great ap
plause on the part Of the majorit
, Of the delegates. who signified thei
willingness to vote for the repea
but the chairman failed to put tn
, question.

Tiers are literally starving. Nearly
all of them have been compelled
even to pawn the familiar brass
horses which decorate their gondol-

them is six lira-a dollar and twen-

The storekeepers are in no better
plight, dependent as they are almost
entirely upon the tourists. Most of
them are unable to pay their rents,
and the landlords, with the help of
the banks, are carrying them over
until better times.

VENICE FEELS WAR

Venice, May 14.-Venice, per-
haps of all the cities in Italy, is feel
ing the war most keenly. At the
height of the spring season in nor

600 to $4,000 tourists here. But to-
day there are not hundred in the
whole city. Hotels with from two
to three hundred rooms are absolute
ly empty some inoeed are closed up.
The Piazza of st. Mark is desert
ed, and there are no strangers to
feed the pigeons. The Grand Canal
which ought to sbe black with gon-
dolas. has no other traffic but the
