SOME MORE STATISTICS.
Henry FrisbIe Cites Figures In Rail-
road Argument.

Editor The Washington Herald: In
your editorial on Railroads and Pros
Pertty' a few days ago you said. quoting
the New York World: The net earnings
Of the principal railroads last
fscaI year was s., ZIG, 900. {.
The eight-hour day will add to their oper-
railroad presidents" "
Then you said: The figures made pub
lie by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and interpreted by the World seem
TO show that the roads are able to pay
the trainmen higher wages But figures
may be used to prove almost anything.
Statistics may be made to
tell lies. The theory that It is all
right to rob a rich man has been
releEated TO the junk heap a long time
ago"
such is the stun you expect intelligent
readers to feed on, but we know better
Why don't you put it this way? The
railroads involved in the late controversy
earned last year 1,176 millions net De-
duct 50 millions expense estimated as due
to the etght-hour law and It leaves 1,l16
millions net revenue for the roads in one
year. Divide the LIS millions by so mil
lions and It gives the number Of years
that the higher wages for the trainmen
would last-out of one years earnings of
the rOads-whlch is nineteen years II
the railroads would spare their net in
come for one year it would suffice to pay
the additional expense of eight hours a
day for the workers for nineteen years.

MiddleburE, Va, Reader of Herald
Deplores "One-Sided stand"

80 hCsucF OA heEalu
DepIores "One-sided stand"
Editor The Washington Herald:
When I subscribed to your paper was
assured by your agent that you were neu-
tral politically. I have been astonished at
the one-sided stand you have taken and
the narrow view you have shown in your
editorial comments on the President of
the United States. Our entire COM
muntty has been surprised and I may
say disappointed, in Candidate Hughes
he, is the general verdict, is better out
Of the United States Supreme Court than
in 1t as a member, and a prominent Re
publican stated to me his disappointment
at his ungenerous criticism Of the pres
ent administration. We in this section
think he is the best paying asset the
Democratic party has. His endavors to
stir up sectional strife recalls the re-
mark made by a number of Union soldiers
at the reunion at Gettysburg, viz: You
men should have pensions and would
have received them long ago had it not
been for the d-n politicians" Now
Mr.. Editor, be fair to our side or run up
the Republican flag. We up here have
no use for straddlers-be honest and show
your true colors. The war ended with me
and other Confederate soldiers at Apo
mattox, but the gallant men like Candi-
date Hughes, who never smelled powder,
are still fighting. Should he by accident
land IN the White House, which God for
bid, I trust that he and others Of his
ilk who delight in war, will enlist as pri-
Yates and show their desire to serve their
country.
Having served four years in the Con-
federate service, think am competent
to understand the meaning of war.

unable to continue the campaign for A

What and when will be the decisive
victory that will bring to the feet of the
triumphant allies their fierce foes? Po-
itical parties are already agitating, and
discussing conditions Of peace, When
the decisive victory is won, Austro-Ger-
