Railroads and Campaign Funds

THAT u railroad must answer the questions
i of the Interstate Commerce Commission
as to the railroads contributions to political
campaign funds has been decided by the
Supreme Court OF the District OF Columbia
i'The court holds such contributions, which
naturally increase the railroads expenses
may have a vital bearing on the reasonable
ness OF rates.
This is clear. Under modern practice the
reasonableness of a particular rate is held to
ucpend to some extent al least on the total
revenue derived from all the rates in the
companys schedules. The company must be
permitted to earn reasonable return on the
capital invested. II, therefore, ii diverts n
large share of its traffic earnings to political
campaigns. the issue is clOudcd for financing
politicians, obviously, is no part of rail

IntcEer Vitnc.

The man of life upright
Whose guilelcss heart is free
From all dishonest deeds
Or thought of vanity:
The man whose silent days
In harmless joys are spent,
Whom hopes cannot dcludc,
Nor sorrow discomfort;
That man needs neither towers
Nor armor for defense.
Nor secret vaults TO fly
From thundcr's violence;
He only can behold
With unaffrightcd eyes
The horrors of the deep
And terrors OF the skies.
Thus, scorning all the cares
That fate or fortune brings,
He makes the heaven his book,
His wisdom heavenly things.
Good thoughts his only friends,
His wealth II wcll-spent age.
The earth his sober inn
And quiet pilgrimage.

peace. and that the President has declined
to offer mediation at this time If the
kaiser did make such appeal it was con-

not discuss it, but if it was made there is
no doubt the Presidents answer has been
stated accurately. He would not hazard the
