BUSINESS AND PASSENGER
.... TRAVEL

ut has been our experience" said H.
II. Butler of the Missouri Pacific "a
the passenger rates hearing before the
interstate commerce commission the
other day, that people travel only
when they have good reason to. This
has been substantiated by the fact
that the public, after two cent fares
were established, was as fnsistent %
excursion rates below the two cent
basis as they had been on special
rates under the three cent"
Which throws an interesting side
light on one of the arguments for two
cent fares, that the railroads wouldn't
really lose because more people would
travel" especially for pleasure. Quite
possibly they do. though it may be
doubted whether travellers have in
creased faster than population. But
the masses still largely condition
their pleasure travelling on the assist
ance given by Special or Excursion"
rates. AS a result railway passenger
income has not increased in proportion
to the volume of travel.
The situation merely illustrates,
however the general relation oetwae1
business and pleasure expenditure OF
all kinds. says the Chicago Herald.
The latter attracts attention and IS
talked about: the former keeps the in
dustrial, mercantile and transportd-
tons machines going. The fallacy IS
an old one that unnecessary, ostenta-
tious. luxurious, and even personally
injurious and immoral expenditure IS
somehow a social benefit because 'ic
keeps money in circulation; but it dies
hard"
Pleasure travel Is beneficial, of
course, If the enlargement of inforna-
ton, mental outlook or health i'm
provement equal in value the expendi
ture. But it is business travel, the
going and coming of people who have
material reasons for it, that pays, or
doesn't pay. for the cost Of passenger
service. And so the real question is
whether business travel is paying, at
prevailing rates, for the service It re-
ceives. The railways say it is not:
the commission is trying to find out.

NEW JERSEY ZINC OUTPUT.

The zinc mines OF New Jersey in.
creased their output from 144,312,5GO
pounds of recoverable zinc in 1913 TO
14S,506,50 pounds in 1914. Owing to
the lower average price of smelter
the estimated value of the output de-
creased from S., ,1,502 in 1913 to 81.
515,914 in 1914. The quantity of ore
sold or treated was 529,443 short tons
in 1914 and 49O,434 tons in 1913.
1t must be distinctly understood
that the value given for zinc in New
Jersey is not that Of the ore mined.
1t is the estimated value Of the recov-
cradle zinc content of the ore after
freight, haulage, smelling, and manu-
featuring are added. The value ofthe
crude ore at the mine is less by at
least the difference between the raw
and derived product. Z
No production of gold. silver, cop
per-. or lead is reported from New
Jersey.

Storm Lake Pilot-Tribune: The En-

the matter of receiving notices of
chautauquas. picnics, races mad other
gatherings for gratituous publication.
All newspapers receive lot OF this
kind OF material and as the years go
buy, fewer OF them are running it. AS
the cost OF publishing newspaper in
creases. publishers find that it Is I'M
possible to be as generous with these
things as, in the old days. The time
is coming when the newspapers will
be compelled to charge for all such
things, even locally, and this news
paper will do so at an early date It
is all right to publish a news item
about these things, but it is entirely
unfair to ask a newspaper to do more.

1914, according TO the annual report
of the commissioner OF education Just

growth the public high school stu

| New York World: Since 1t has tax

| it is hardly to be expected that there
will be an immediate change In -ot-

grand father. device for the restrlc-
ton Of the ballot is to be found IN
/ the fact that it once more proclaims
the equality of all men before the
law
Long years of terrorism, supple
mented by long years of discrimlnat-
ing laws. have deprived the negro IN
many places not only Of the op2or-
tunity but of the desire to vote A
generation of black men has come
upon the scene unacqualnted WIN
the ballot, and trained from birth to
regard the duties and privileges of
citizenship as pertaining chiefly to
white men. Unless decided change
in public opinion takes place in sew
eral southern states. there will be no
increase in the coIored vote even
now.
Yet the Judgment loses nothing IN
importance by reason of these con-
siderations. 1t re-establishes an
id cal It places limitations upon flag
rant Injustice. 1t is a proclamation
from the highest judicial authority
that II black men are denied the bal
lot because they are poor or ignor-
ant. white men similarly situated
must suffer the same disqualification.
The states will find no difficulty in
DISTINGUISHING illiterates- They en-
not by evasion and trickery on these
grounds exclude blacks alone.
We expect to see this Judgment
honestly observed presently in all
places. There was time when con-
scientious southern men reyolted
against the criminal practice by
which elections in the period after
reconstruction were carried. Schooled
in civil war and race hatren. they
had done things that they could not
commend to their sons. So now, the
supreme court having spoken, thou
sands of true Americans will be
called back to political standards
which they know are correct and
which ultimately must prevail.
How the problem Is to be worked
out is a question that may properly
be left to the enlightened and pa
triotic Inhabitants of the south. The
court has set before them anew the
old vision of the declaration. In that
inspiration, never fully realized by
all men of any race, lies the one hope
OF a true republic. 1t should be an
incentive to white men as well as to
black men.
