miles and passenger-miles handled by
the railways per employe of almost
every class and also the increases in
the average earnings per year Gem
eral Office clerks and shop men are
the only classes of employees whose
number has increased faster than the
volume of traffic. while the wages
have been increased for every class
Of employe. Regarding the showing
made for the engineers, firemen, con-
ductOrs and trainmen the Rail-
way Age Gazette says:
During the last eight years COW
cred the increase in the average wage
Of every one OF these classes was
greater than the increase in its So
called productive efficiency The
ton-miles handled per engineer per
year increased 1913 per cent; passen-
ger-miles. 36.6; and wages. 42.2 per
cent The increases for the other
train service employees were:
"Firemen, ton-miles, 80 per cent;
passenger-miles, 36.6 per cent. /;
wages, 46.S per cent.
Conductors, tOn-miles, 23.2 per
cent. passenger-miles, 29,2 per
cent. wages, 421 per cent
"Other trainmen. ton-miles. III per
cent. passenger-miles, 22.S per cent. (;
wages 48.S.
Furthermore, the average wage of
every one Of these classes, except en-
gineers, increased more throughout
the 16 years than did their so-called
productive efficiency as may be seen
by a glance at the tables. The
extreme example is afforded
by the other trainmen. The in
creases for them during the entire 16
years were: Ton-miles, 246 per cent.
passenger-miles, 299 per cent.
wages, 73 per cent. And yet the
brakemen. as well as the other train
service employees. are threatening ia
strike if they do not got an increase
in wages based on the increase in
their productive eHiciency!'"
Regarding the showing for some OF
the other employees. ii says.
THE increases in the traffic han
died and in the wages per station
agent during these 16 years were
Ton-miles. 1889 per cent; passenger
miles. 1923 per cent; wages. 42.t
per cent The station agents have
not done so badly in the matter of in
, creases, in wages; but compare the
increase in their productive eff
iency' and in their wages with the in
creases, in those of the train service
employees. and then decide, gentle
reader. who. on this theory. is en-
titled to the next advance in wages.

Az the request OF cordage manufacturer in this
country the chief Of Bureau OF Insular Affairs
recently wired to Governor Harrison of the Philippine
Islands, asking why il that there appeared to be
a shortage of Philippine hemp in the American mar
ket Governor Harrison wired back that It was be-
cause OF huge purchases being made in Japan. This
indicates that japan is rapidly developing her hemp
industries, is cemenng her friendship with the fol-
lowers OF Manuel Quezon in the Philippines by pur-
chasing her hemp in the insular possessions
which the Democrats have cut adrift, and that the
destination OF large percentage OF the finished pro-

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE TRIED AND LOST.

q EEAIINGLY there is>no end TO the strength OF the
appeal for silver trophies to be used TO stimulate
interest in publicspeakng or oratory in the schools
or Delaware. When recorded the donation OF six
handsome sterling silver loving cups in an editorial
on Saturday we thought the campaign for prizes had
closed We we're mistaken At that juncture interest
in the pupil who earnestly endesvors to win first
place but only succeeds in winning second place, be-
gan TO itself in practical form We received the
following letter from Edgar NJ. Hopes sr, OF this
city who for years has manifested active interest in
educational matters and been especially interested in
the development Of the Cvics Department Of the Will

Editor, EVENING JOURNAL.
Wilmington. Del.
My Dear Mr.. Carter
have watched. with interest and pleasure tho
splendid development OF the gentle conspiracy entered
into by you and Superintendent OF Schools Cross OF
rural New Castle county TO bring about restoration
Of the teaching OF public speaking or oratory. in the
public schools in State
It is with qualification I note that Mr.. Nathan Mil
Ter has given a State sweepstake trophy; that the
Wilmington High School has been cared for by Mr.
David Snellenburg; that the public spirit Of Mr.. j
Ernest Smith has made provision for the Wilmington
grammar schools; that the interests Of the schools
In rural New Castle have been conserved by the pub
lie spirit Of Mrs. Selden S. Deemer and that General
A. r. Benson. OF Kent county and former Governor
Simeon S. Pennewi OF Sussex county, both recog-
nzed ardent friends OF education each has given
prize for the school children in his home county In
other words that six handsome sterling silver loving
cups already have been pledged in support OF what is
admittedly most praiseworthy movement.
7 also wish 10 give $50 cup. My sympathy al
ways has gone out to the boy the girl who has tried
earnestly to excel in any line OF effort and lost out
by a margin. ! discover I'm your list OF cups

That happy thought in behalf OF those who have
tried for first place and landed in second place is
that may be extended TO the State sweepstake trophy.

also each OF the other districts which have first
prizes. and viii ch call for second prizes valued at
