ers and wage-earners Of the Ameri-
can railroads In general. They are
all going to get more out Of this sort
Of wise management and fruitful in
vestment than out Of pouring the

wages and dividends before anybody

The Washington times., 1916-02-17
FLOWING IN EARNINGS

Some of our railroads, like some
Of, our industries, have had their
earnings in recent months rise very
swiftly. Those high earnings may
continue for months or even years,
but they may fall as quickly, though
perhaps not SO far as they have
risen, if the unusual conditions which
have caused them are suddenly and
violently changed.
In other words, the greater part Of
the recent prosperity of the railroads
is as yet war prosperity. BY that
much it has been highly artificial;
by that much it cannot yet be re-
garded as permanent. 1t may be, we
all ought to hope that it will be; but
we c.1not assume that it is sure
to be.
Meanwhile railroads which \unex-
pectedly found themselves earning
rich surpluses, when only short
while before they had been facing
terrifying deficits, have three ways
in which they can dispose Of their
present golden harvests. They can
distribute them in more dividends
they can pay them out in higher
wages, and they can "plow them in
put them back into the properties.
Undoubtedly this last is by far the
wiser policy, updsr existing circum.
stances, for the railroads and fol
their stockholders, for their wage
earners and for the public. Surplus
earnings which can be used to buy
more and better equipment, to lay
more and better trackage, to increas!
the facilities and perfect the service
of railroad, are going in the Ions
run to insure steadier dividends fol
stockholders and more stable EN-
ployment for wage-earners, as wei
as better service for the public.
Within the last few months on,
Of our great railway systems planne'
to issue notes by millions of dollar
to pay for rolling stock equipmen
which it must have. Il applied Il
public service commission authorit,
for and received permission to issu

But before the notes were actual

Has a policeman the right to kick a
prisoner7 t
Recently on public street and In
sight OF many people, big policeman
arrested an Ignorant looking black fell
low whom he accused Of having failed to
throw some circulars into a vestibule.
The poor fellow was very evidently
scared out OF his wits. but when he
tried TO explain that he meant no
wrong. and hadn't done nothing to be
arrested for" the policeman gave him
a kick that caused MIN to scream and
cry so as to draw crowd
II was a pitiful as well as a brutal
spectacle, and II evoked much COM
ment. While the man may have been
more scared than hurt II certainly hope
sol. he undoubtedly was hurt. and for
no justiflabie reason that on-lookers
could see. Why do not policemen FIRST

the law, and make arrests In case OF a
