ROADS NOT GETTING POOR
Western Lines Earning More Than
Eastern, Says Iowa Statistician.

Chicago, April 1.-Instead of grow
ing poorer the Western railroads &C.
tually are earning more than the East
ern lines, according to Wayne G. Ellis,
statistician of the Iowa railroad COM
mission, who testified at the inter
state commerce commission hearing
of the demands of forty-one Western
railroads for higher rates on certain
commodities.
Mr.. Ellis introduced figures intend
ed to show that the Eastern railroads
are earning an average of per cent
on their investment, while the West
ern roads are earning per cent. He
enumerated roads in iowa, ,Nebras-
ka, North Dakota, South Dakota and
Minnesota, which, he said, are earning
from to 16 per cent, and asserted
these roads carried the bulk of the
tonnage which will be benefited by
the proposed advances.

THE PUBLIC FORUM
DECOY DUCKS-A short time ago
the editor of your paper announced
that he had been offered but had re-
iected the cOuTtesies~ of one of the
lake transportation company's serv-
ice. Had he accepted he might now
have an opportunity to reciprOcate
for same by announcing the brave
and noble conduct of the twenty
members of the Chicago Association
of Commerce, who, deeply gTieved
that citizens of Chicago should be
denying themselves the pleasure Of
cool lake trips, are about to risk their
lives on the steamship Alabama, to
prove to the people that they need
not fear to do likewise. But will that
prove it?
Are we to understand that since
that Quoting Dering) 'regrettable
mishap to an isolated unit nobody
has ridden on any lake passenger
steamer? If there have been pas
sengers las there have been), why
do these noble twenty think that
the people of Chicago are going to
follow them any more than some
humber person? What sublime ego
tisGn! These Representative citi-
zens" have been pulled so often in !
their own papers that they have |
really come to the opinion that they |
are a little bit better than ordinary |
clay. The probability is that their |
precious lives will be exceptionally |
well guarded (when the president of |
a railroad inspects same there is
never an accident), but if there is any
business demands some |
sacrifice, and they are well insured, |
of course, and they need not fear the
undeTtaker's bill.
What it does prove is that the

tain "the last remnant of our once
proud merchant marine" It is bare
" possible that some big company
represented by one or two of the
fearless ones is hoping that they may
yet pull off another picnic; don't
know. But what I do know is that
amongst them are the proprietors of
some dry goods and haberdashery
concerns, a good-sized liquor con-
Germ, and a trunk-hauling company,
so you can see where the shoe
pinches in one particular spot.
What a damnably rotten indiffer-
ence these people show toward the
sentiments of the mass, and what a
contemplated merited, indeed-for
our intelligence, that they should
dare to expose themselves in such a
pitiful position. Have they not the
decency to keep quiet for few
weeks at least, and are they such
poor losers that they can't stand a
little reduction in their business I'M
til next season? Then, they may
console themselves, the people will
have indeed forgotten, and they can
pull off another such ''regrettable"
affair as was the last.
In the meantime, if they are so
anxious to play the role Of decoy
ducks let them go to Fort Sheridan
to learn to cock one eye at a target.

would shut up like a clam with a

Aunt Mary is a very diplomatic

stopped.
ooh, of course, mother thinks that
her boy is dying and she went imme-
diately over to see Mary supposing,
of course, that Mary would jump at
the chance to go to him and nurse
him back to health and devilishness.
You see mother has the old idea of
'cherishing in sickness or in health
MARY, however, seems of differ

would not go near him; that she
could not leave the store without it
costing much more than just her ex-

Jack was really sick-he had deceiv-

Jack is well enough to run it.
But you are not going to do that,

mother so just at present when she is

Growth of Citizen Rights

nURING the initial stages of any fight
~ for human political rights progress is
necessarily slow when the claims are once
conceded the momentum of the movement
gains with amazing rapidlty. A few years
ago equal suffrage was regarded as the
dream of few impractical idealists; today
the How of the tide is so strong that within
few months, or years at the utmost, op-
position will be swept away. The secretary
of the Equal Franchise Society of Phila-
delphia gives the following summary of the
situation; Full equal suffrage now prevails
over 1,73S,040 square miles of the United
States, or nearly one-half of the total area
Women now have an equal voice with men
in casting 81 electoral votes, or nearly one
fifth of the total number in the electoral COL
lege, and in sending to Washington one
fourth of our Senators and nearly one-sixth
OF our Representatives.
The total number of women over 2i years
of age in the States where women can vote
for President of the United States is 1885,
532 (1910 census). The total population
of the IL States in which equal suffrage
prevails, Wyoming Colorado, Idaho, Utah,
Washington, California, Arizona, Kansas,
Oregon. Nevada and Montana, is now $685.
240. If to these States we add Illinois
where women, in 1913, were given almost
full suffrage, the total population of the
States where women can vote for President
of the United States is 1881 ss1 or Is per
cent of the total population of the United
States

Fair Play and nBillya Sunday

DGLIGION has, and always has had a
4e multitude OF interpretations Religion
has, and always has had, one test-results
In this land OF liberty of thought and speech
Il Is permissible for any man to differ with
any other man on matters of belief and state
ment of belief. But fair play is one of the
most distinguishing of American character
istics
However radically one man may diverge
from another on questions of creed ritual or
church government, there will be a willing
ness to recognize frankly any indubitable
moral results If the disposition and the
habits Of men are changed from bad to
good, IL human society receives new in
centive toward the realization Of higher
ideals, If commercial and political standards
are raised, If "sweeter manners, purer laws"
are made possible, then few will quibble over
the means or methods of winning these most
desirable effects.
Billy Sunday is unique. If he were not
unique he could not command the attention
that Is everywhere given to him. Even the
Philadelphians who predisposed not to
agree with all of his teachings or with any
Of his methods, whose conceptions of worship
and religious service are already in opposition
to what they have heard or read of the noted
revivalist, will gladly suspend judgment until
the effect of his work can be measured This
is only fair; no one has the right to ask for
more or to grant less. If his coming means
better manhood higher citizenship happier
homes and sweeter social order in our city,
every one will rejoice The gates of Phila-
delphia are swung wide open to BILLY"
Sunday.
