In an injunction suit brought by the
attorney general of Texas against the
Texas railroads. to prevent the issu-
ance of free passes, some interesting
facts are presented. Those roads. as
are the lines all over the country, are
appealing to the railroad commission
for authority TO raise both freight and
passenger rates.
The papers in the suit filed allege
that free passes. in violation of the
franchises under which the roads
operate as being discriminatory. issued
by the Texas lines in the past ten years
amounted TO 11.21 per cent of the total
passengers; 2,34S,1S9 passengers were
carried free during that period. If
they had been charged for at current
rates, the revenue therefrOm would
have paid a dividend OF 2.41 per cent
on the total capitalization of the roads
1t would have carried $4,000 people
around the world In dollars and
cents il would approximate four mill
lion dollars.
The attorney general makes the
point that. had those passengers been
required to pay fare. the average rate
of 2.29 cents per passenger per mile
would have been reduced to 200 cents.
or that if the roads would stop dead
heading. the earnings would be in ex-
cess of the passenger rate they ask
permission TO charge. all of which
looks like unanswerable logic.

GUESSING OK THE MOVES.

There is much speculation in Europe
as 10 the exact significance Of the Bull
garian raid on the Servian border. this
last one having been the third since
the outbreak Of the war.
Perhaps a mental line on Bulgaria's
motive may be had by the man erst-

chip in at the last on a measley pair.

Sometimes he did, but much more

Bulgaria has been sitting in the Bal

to chip in now and then grows Ger

troubles and offers Greece the oppor-
tunity TO get in on the side of the al

side with Bulgaria and even If SO. it
will have small effect on the final re-

Considering these evident facts, 1t is
fairly safe TO assume that the Bull

The defeat OF Jack Johnson by Jess
willard is generally attributed to his
age. From the standpoint OF athletics,
he is going down the declivity of life
at the ripe age OF thirty-seven. He
excelled Willard is science and skill,
but got tired quicker.
Baseball constantly gives these in
stances of some loss of physical power
at sn early age. The great majority
OF the successful players are under
thirty. over that age some lack of
elasticity and endurance commonly
begins to unfit a man for the fastest
play.
Ii would be a melancholy reflection
for the average man, if he had TO ad-
NIT that at the age Of thirty five he
was going down hill. In business the
years from forty TO fifty are common
~ called the prime OF life The man
who shows decided signs of physical
decay at fifty has usually abused him

work
Many men start with meager
equipment of physical strength. but

lives into the eighties. Meanwhile
physical marvels like Jack Johnson
or the ball players throw the cream Of
their power into moments OF supreme
strain
There may be more physical loss in

proved that athletic prowess assures
either long life or a healthy old age.

SIGNS OF PROSPERITY

The Item hopes there is foundation
for the optimism regarding the future
cost of the necessaries Of life. I'm
questionably the most cheering bit Of
information that has come to the con-
sumers of food products within the
last decade is the simultaneous an
nouncement from Chicago and New
York 10 the effect that the prices of
eggs, butter and general produce are
due TO fall TO a level that has not
been touched before in more than a
dozen years Chicago advices are to
the effect that butter, eggs and dairy
products generally will suffer a decline
from 40 to so per cent, and New York
commission men say that eggs will re-
tail for 1 5 cents a dozen within a
month.
If this reduction in prices were a
part OF a general decline in values it
might properly be regarded as a cal
amity, rather than a blessing, because
in that case it would be accompanied
or preceded by a general industrial
and commercial stagnation. causing
enforced idleness and inability of con-
sumers to purchase at any price.
Fortunately no such general condi-
ton now prevails. Money is abund-
ant. and the general trend of values
is upward. Industry is ordinarily &C
tive and, under a steadily increasing
demand for manufactures idle mills
and factories are being put in opera
ton, and more men are being employ
ed. The belief is everywhere express
ed that the nation is entering upon
period of great industrial and COM
mercial activity that will gather force
as the business of the country adjusts
itself to the changed conditions
brought about by the European war.
The sudden and surprising decline,
therefore, of these necessaries Of life
is somewhat paradoxial, and it's ex-
PLANTATION must be found in other
causes than those always responsible
for a decline in prices all along the
line.-Item. Allentown, Pa, March 3,
