A Drunken Stock.

ued at ST. $50, 900 more. In the five hours
of trading on Tuesday it was worth at
one time s4.8 $780, 900 more than 1t was at
another time. 1t has f1uctuated nearly
S1,000,000 between sales. 1t has fuctu-
ated millions of dollars between hours Of
trading. And 1t avs nc dividends.
This Is about the worst case Of intox-
ication ever known to affect a security
in the experience OF the New York stock
exchange. The celebrated a Of
Northern Pacific In the corner of 1901
was over in a few hours. The 3O-pofnt
manipulation in Rock Island lasted for
little. more than as many minutes. But
Bethlehem Steel goes reeling from curb

and through the roof day after day. II

quoted for a stock yielding no income.

gamble of its life. But, II this drunken

We have government regulation OF in

no government regulation of such roads

It makes nc difference whether the cap

From the wichita Eagle

Twenty years ago there was no finer
Rock Island. Its equipment was first
slass. its road bed the best. Its manage
mont unexceiled. Yesterday 1t went into
che hands of receivers. So completely
~tisordered is the financial, fabric of the

Rock Island Railway company. has disap-
peared. BY the creation of successive cor
porations by inserting wheels within

overloaded. The rails, cars. engines. ter
minals, right-of-way remain, They belong
to the bond-holders. Potentially the road
Is greater physically than 1t was 20 years
ago. Its territory Is larger and moro fully
developed. With betterments in rail, road
bed and equipment. 1t can be. In efficiency,
money which a shipping and travelling and
~ Investing public put into the road for
its better1nent is water that has gone
pyer the dam forever. If the Rock Island
had remained under the control OF prac-
hcal railroad men, every cent which the
public gave, would have returned to It In
yervice. The road fell under the control
little. squeezed the road dry, and threw
the husks to the bondholders. The device
is not new; II is old. Precisely the same
thing has occurred before: It will occur
again. The public has paid the price be-
