WESTERN RATE DECISION.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
The fractional increase in freight
rates which the Western railroads
are permitted to make under the lat
est decision of the Interstate Com
merce Commission is sadly needed
II would have been better, probably
If the commission had granted the re-
quest of the roads in broader fashion
but the members of the commission
have had better opportunity to study
the problem than the general public,
and It is likely that they feel the in
crease granted will meet the situa-
ton.
The Al roads represented in the
application have total freight reven-
ues amounting 10 about S641. 600, 900.
The increasH which they asked
amounted to s7,504,247. which, dis
territory and over so many ship
ments, would not have been much ad-
ditional burden on the shippers
However, the increase of 81 ,632,3S7,
which has been permitted. will help
the roads TO bolster up their reven-
ues, and the prosperity which is now
Sweeping over the country should
do the rest
The chief need of the roads, aside
I from the improved credit which is so
essential. is additional equipment
/ The trouble in the past has been
/ that the roads have not been permit
ted to earn enough revenue in good
times TO take care of their needs when
q conditions are not so favorable. Yet
I they must keep up a maximum equip
ment even when the minimum amount
of freight is being carried, or else they
! will not be prepared for the maximum
! business when it comes along
The maximum amount Of business
according TO all signs. is already on
the way. Employers and employees in
all branches Of business hope, for the
sake of prosperity generally, that the
financial condition of the railroads
which has not been favorable fol-
some time, will be marked from this
time forward by a steady improve

were retired because they suffered
from some temporary disability which
is now removed. These men are in
the prime of life ana their expert
ence would be an asset to the nation
Their reinstatement would be a real
economy, since they are drawing
three-quarters pay now for dong lit
tie or no service
Some rs or more applications from
retired officers who are anxious to
take the test and be restored 10 ac-
tive duty are now on file. AS the
need of additional officers on the ac-
tive list is admitted. Il is presumed
that the War Department will trans
fer to the active list all officers who
can comply with the provisions of
the law.

RESTORING RETIRED OFFICERS.


From the Washington Post.
Why is it, since the War Depart
ment is in need of additional officers.
that advantage has not been taken Of
the provision in the last army appro-
priation bill for the return TO active
service of officers who have been re-
tired for disability, but who are now
perfectly capable of performing ac-
tive duty?
At the last session of Congress the
War Department prepared a bill,
which was introduced in the Senate,
providing for 1000 additional officers.
and on January u last the Secretary
of War appeared before the Senate
committee on military affairs and
urged a favorable report upon the
bill. Although no action was taken
on this measure, a provision in the
army appropriation act authorizes
the President TO restore any retired
officer to the active list with the rank
he would have attained had he re
NAMED in the service. such officer to
be a supernumerary in his grade so
as not TO affect the promotion Of those
already in the service. Inasmuch as
II is provided that only such retired
officers shall be reinstated as can
meet the regular mental and physical
test required. there is no chance that
any officer thus restored would prove
unqualified
There are many officers who have
been retired through no fault Of their
own, but because Of the mistaken di-
.aenOsfs of the hoard If medical off,

NEWSPAPER AS A NEleHeoR.


George B. Dealey, vice president
and general manager of the Dallas
Tex. News, delivered an address at
the University of Missouri last week
in which he dwelt rather extensively
on the subject of newspapers. Among
other things he said:
1.-THE newspaper is like good
neighbor-honest, courageous, virtu-
Gus and friendly; and not like bad
eighbor-vindicative spying, cosby
and mischievous."
The newspaper without those
characteristics mentioned by the
Texas man is rare, but occasionally
such an one is to be found.
The newspaper without honesty
tells just as many lies in one instant
as it has readers, and should be
judged on the extent Of it's crime in
SO doing.
The newspaper without courage is
one OF the saddast spectacles ina GIN
able. for the real function of news
paper is to lead, and towards are al
ways found in the rear
The newspaper without virtue Is
more to be Stunned than the pick
pocket. for you always know what to
expect from the latter, but never
from the former.
The newspaper that is not friendly
naturally has no friends, and with
out friends newspaper is of no more
value to its advertisers or readers
than an ordinary handful. No news
paper without friends is financial
success, unless the cause OF its lack
of popularity happens to be its weak
ness for allowing those interests to
dictate its policy which are willing to
pay the highest price for the priv
lege

Electric power is almost entirely
used by butchers and grocerymen for
grinding bone to be used as chicken
feed. Chicken fanciers and breeders
purchase great quantities of meat
scrap and ground bone for winter
feeding. Not so many years ago bones
were thrown away or sold in bulk to
fertilizer plants. By installing a
small electric motor and grinder
waste bones can be ground into chicE-

LUCK.

LUCK.
4 little hit of effort, a little bit o.
thought,
A litt.a bit of daring and of pluck
A little bit of courage in the hSh'
that's being fought,
All this is often looked upon as luck
A little bit of vision, and of faith, a
little, too,
A bit of stern resistance when
you're struck,
A little bit of purpose in the wcrk
you have to do,
All this is in the masonry Of luck.
A little bit of wisdom, and the magic
of smile,
Some real determination when
you're stuck,
The grit to keep on going till you
make another mile,
Are catalogued and labeled under
luck.
The wish to travel pathways that
were never trod before,
To hold the line against the foes
that buck,
To keep the spirit beating when the
flesh is weak and sore
All this is in the parentage of luck.
To do the right when wrong would
SEINE to fill your purse with gold
To cling to truth, nor fear the deviPs
s5 muck;
To play your part unselfishly,, be ever
brave and bold,
Herein you find the mystery of luck.
