The Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad in 1916 earned a surplus of $32.579,735 for its $214,312.500 of common stock equivalent to R.30 per cent. on that issue compared with 9.1S per cent on $2OO.4S9,500 of common stock i'm 1915. The return on property investment was 6.19 per cent, as against $40 per cent. in 1915.
 Gross earnings were the largest in the company's history, amounting to $133.762,392. an increase of $16,096.- 804 over 1915. Freight earnings made up to $91, ,432, 429 of gross earnings and showed an increase of 0,92S,036, which was 6S per cent. of the total gain in gross. Passenger earnings were .S31,56S, 500, an increase of s3,- 745,537. Operating expenses were ST. 639, ,407 greater, but notwithstanding this increase. the proportion of total operating expenses to gross earnings was lower. being 62.60 per cent. com pared with 64.67 per cent. in 1915.

DESTINY OF NATION
 IS CAMPAIGN ISSUE. ASSERTS

terday that MT. Wilson will make two speeches in New York state, one in the Greater City and another in Buff falo. Syracuse has been urged up on the President as the more advisa- ble point for an upstate speech, but Erie county being o politically de- batable locality it was determined that an address by the President there would result in swinging Buffalo and the surrounding country into the Democratic column.
 The Buffalo speech will be made late in October or in November, just before election. That in New York city will be a day or two earlier.
 Scores of telegrams have been re- ceived from New York city, many signed by men prominent in Tam many and other circles, urging MT. Wilson to discuss in Madison Square Garden campaign subjects, particular ly those concerning state issues.
 May Aid Seabury Campaign
 MT. Wilson's political managers confidently believe Gov. Whitman is what is termed ia weak sister" and that a speech from the President will largely enhance the possibility of the SlSCllOn Ol JuOSc OCduuIy. COilSS- quently they are urging that the Pres ident speak in New York in behalf of the Democratic state ticket in or der to give an impetus to the cam paign in the state.
 In view of the personal recrimina tions by MT. Hughes, Democratic campaign managers here insist that no rules of propriety will be encroach- ed upon by MT. Wilson if he takes the stump and answers the Republican candidate in a manner that only he, as leader of the Democratic party, is in position to employ.
 For this reason the President is be- ing urged to forego his former de- termination to act solely as Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, and appear upon the political plat form as Woodrow Wilson, candidate for reelection and defender of the four years of Democratic achievement in national affairs.
 Democratic leaders considered nam ing a day to be dedicated as wilson Day. throughout the country and cele- brated by Democrats.
 The President will review the Fourth New Jersey Regiment at Sea- girt Saturday morning at Il o'clock.

WILSON TO RELY
 ON PORCH TALKS

New York, Sept 29.-According to Vance Mccormick, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, no change has been made in the arrange rnents for the Presidents participa- ton in the campaign, despite constant reports to the contrary.
 "No new speaking engagements have been made for the President, and it is not true that he is contem- plating a tour of any kind," said MT. Mccormick yesterday. He said the President, apart from two speeches already designated, will content him. self with porch speeches at Shadow Lawn on Saturdays.
 The President will tomorrow address young men, and a special trainload Of members of the Young Mems Demo- cratic league, for which special round trip has been arranged, will leave the Pennsylvania station at o'clock. Oct 21 the farmers of New Jersey will hear the President, and Oct. 14 has been set aside as Penn sy1vania Day. Another Saturday will be est Louis Day. and so on. No date has yet been set for New York Day.
 Has Farmers, Says Grosscup.
 According to Edward E.. Grosscup, Democratic state chairman of New Jersey, the farmers of that state will vote for the President.
 ''They give three reasons for doing so," said MT. Grosscup. Peace and prosperity; the high prices they re- ceive for their products and the fact that there has been no railroad strike to interfere with their busineess." N.
 In the midst of the busy day follow ing his return from Shadow Lawn, Mr. Mccormick found time to con- ment yesterday on the reception &C., corded to MT. Hughes in Pennsylva- mia. He said:
 'I infer from the despatches that Mr. Hughes very practically and very properly attaches more importance to the absence of enthusiasm among the people than he does to the public rec onciliation of Mr. Finn of Pittsburgh and MT. Penrose of Philadelphia
 Outside of the fact that fewer peo- pie heard his eight speeches in Penn sylvania than greeted him at a single meeting in another state, and that there was little or no enthusiasm, MT. Hughes's tour of .'rock-ribbed' Penn sylvania was a success. Of course the picture of the Penrose- Finn. reconcil- iation would have been enhanced by the presence also of Clifford Pinchot."
 Calls Hughes Steel Trust Man.
 MT. Mccormick also called attention to the fact that President Wilson vot- ed in the New Jersey primaries, whereas MT. Hughes did not vote in the New York primaries. He also said:
 When the Suffrage amendment was submitted in New Jersey and New York, the same striking contrast be- tween President Wilson and MT. Hughes wos first emphasized. The President went from Washington to Princeton - vote for the amendment. MT. Hughes remained in Washington, ignoring his duty as a citizen and at tempting to make amends later by telling the women he favors Suffrage"
 Chairman James F. Guffey of the Pennsylvania Democratic state com mittee visited headquarters yesterday, and, besides pointing out that the Hughes tour in that state had been personally conducted by Boies Penross and William F1inn, declared Charles E. Hughes has now come out into the open as a candidate of the Steel Trust"

 Bishop J. J. Milan


 Hartford, Sept. 2s.-The Right Rev. Bishop Milan, who is confined to his room in the Episcopal residence on Pennington avenue from an attack of articular rheumatism, passed a fairly comfortable night Wednesday night and yesterday morning there was an abatement in the pain from which he has suffered. He is attended by Dr. W. H. Crowley, who gives encourag- ing reports of his condition.
 Dr. Crowley win advise the bishop to take a vacation just as soon as his condition will warrant and to spend it at some place where the conditions are helpful to persons suffering from rheumatic troubles. No definite plans have yet been made as to the time the bishop will leave or the place to which he will go. His Episcopal gagements for the month of October have been cancelled.
