RAILROAD BURDENS.

There is traffic. says a railroad man. than the roads have handled this previous years taking the aggregate of all freight; and unless more speed shown by shippers loading unloading great difficulty will be experienced throughout country later in the The country is growing fast and the volume of tonnage is heavy, that it mpos sible for the railroads to handle the business"
 It is certainly something for railroads to make such complaint this For many years their complaint has been of lack of business. The public has been told narrowing tales thousands cars lying idle of locomotives rustng and equipment going Now there not enough not enough locomotives not enough rails ties of structural iron anything else put the transportation lines shape cope with the overwhelming demands made them. And although they have pay unprecedented prices and wages, their present profits than make up for it.
 The public is frankly pleased the railroads last out of the woods For many there has been widespread spirit of prejudice against themor rather spirit Of condemnation the oppressive practices of of the roads and the their exploiting fnanciers. That spirit has almost wholly disappeared with the disappearance objectionable and growth of spirit of public service among transpor tation It is felt that the railroads than punished for all their past oenses not only glad to them making money more but glad to help them make it by giving them business than they take care of

THE STOCK MARKET.

Anybody who is dabbling in the stock market might do well to follow the advice of Roger W. Babson, the well known analyst of financial and business conditions.
 "This is probably the dangerous period for the average investor" he says.
 "The greatest danger seems to be overconidence and lack of caution" Prices of stocks especially stocks, have scared And usual higher any par ticular has gone more it the public has wanted to buy.
 MT Babson reminds the public of the advice he gave year and half buy stocks because they cheap and bound to go up. But there no 1OOOOOOshare days then" Simply because good securi- ties cheap, the public wasn't interested in them. Now when they opnoch prices small speculators and investors very much interested For the very that stocks reached neared their hig! spots the expert advises liquidation of all stocks which the do wish hold permanently. Sooner or later those stocks will slump then most of the small holders will sell out, usual, at a loss
 There fortunes to be made in stocks of course; but it's always gamble, especially for the inexperienced investor. Anybody who doesn't know the game and hasn't unlimited cash had better play safe just

THE HABIT OF TALK
Loquacity as a Social Necessity in the City
Conversation a Substitute

a good many persons say they read news
papers from sense of civic duty. Perhaps
they enjoy skimmng over the society column
or reading the items concerning the personalities
OF musicians and actresses but they read the
newspaper essentially because it is educative.
1t is necessary; the idea is, to keep up with
things
Certainly the newspapers do perform an edu-
catve function. but that is not the real reason
why every glanCes over the paper each day.
Take away the social column and substitute an
article on political economy and how many per-
sons would turn to that page? Newspapers
popular because they provide things to talk
about.
Talk is a necessity in this generation Every
one, foolish or wise, must have something 10
talk about Loquacity is more than social
advantage; 1t is Il social necessity. At dinner
or at tea each person must carry his weight
In conversation. The point was reached long
ago where ingenuity only rescued the dinner
guest from unwilling starvation. The function
OF talking is more important than the function
of eating.
This is not true in the country. Farmers are
supposed TO be tacturn and relapse into long
sicnccs. In country hotels the amiable bonlfacc
feels 1t duty to supply the heavy artillery OF
talk' ana generally he rumbles on all by him
self The habit of talk has not invaded tho
rural districts to any extent.
But in the city talk has become necessary.
And newspapers fill the need of subjects. News
papers supply blank conversational cartridges
of every Calibre which may be shot off harm
lessly but effectively at any social encounter
Starting out the day. one retills his ammunition
chest with an assortment of subjects and facts
ready for any cventuality. Silence Is a deadly
thing, to be avoided at all cost
Perhaps this Is one of the reasons why
many find lure in the restaurant and the cafe
There they relieved at intervals from the
oppression Of Earrulity by the presence of other
sounds, 1t does not take a music lover to ap-
precate the strains-or should they be called
jults-of the popular cafe orchestras. The tired
talkcr of nothings and retailer of spicy bits AMI
attractive nonsense finds no attraction in those
vast and spacious dining halls where no ear
splitting clarinet or brassy trumpet supplies the
hal 11p In he ipar
cabaret he could check his tongue in the cloak
room If It were not necessary adjunct 10 the
enjoyment of his viCtuals.

clans the other.-Chicago Tribune.

working for an employer who Is not liable for
damages All the protection these men have
lies in the provisions of the Federal compensa-
ton law of 1908, "the worst on record" which
covers only one-quarter of the employees of the
Federal Government and that in most made
uuato fashion. 1t pays no funeral benefit. 1t
provides medical and surgical care for the
injured. 1t limits all benefits for the disabled
for the dependents of the killed to one years
wages, irrespective of the continuance of disa-
bility or dependency.
The sum of 5000 is all that the widow of James
H. Peck, aged 6i. killed last Saturday, will re-
ceve from tho National Government to pay
burial expenses and to provide for the rest Of
her life! Under the -McGilcuddy bill shr
would have received IS per cent of her hus-
bands wages during widowhood and 800 for
burial expenses
The provisions of the Kern-McGillicuddy bill
have been indorsed by the United States Bureau
of Labor Statistics, the department in charge
of administering the present law; the American
Federation of Labor and the civil service or
gaui2ations
The Bureau of Labor Statistics points out
that, inasmuch as the bill, II. X. 476, following
the best compensation experience, provides COM
pensation at two-thirds of the workers wages
instead of full wages as at present, and as "A
maximum S66 66 per month is payable, the oper-
alton of this Just and adequate measure would
not during its first five years at least cost the
nation more than the present crude and inade-
quate law.
Moreover the bill provides machinery for the
prevention of accidents and occupational dis
eases which is, after ALL the most important
problem.
Any who wish to aid the passage of this merl-
torious should write to the members
of the House judiciary Committee, whose chair
man is the Hon. Edwin Y. Webb, House OF
Representatives Washington, and ask that the
committee report the bill favorably at an early
date. JOHN b. ANDREWS,

A BOOST FOR RAPID TRANSIT

THE appointment of Michael ]. Ryan to
l. be a Public Service Commissioner is Of
the greatest Importance to Philadelphia as
will be more and more apparent as the
months pass.
The Public Service Commission will have
the last word to say in regard both to the
construction of new elevated and subway
lines and the contract for their operation. 1t
was the conspicuously able handling of the
legal end Of the Taylor plan by Mr.. Ryan, as
City Solicitor, that cleared the way for action
and there is no practicing lawyer in the city
so Conyersant as Mr.. Ryan with the details
of that plan and the entire transit situation
as it shapes up today. The presence Of Mr.
Ryan on the Public Service Commission
therefore, will inspire confidence in advocates
of transit and should assure from that body
the sort Of service which overrides politics
and is intent only on the public welfare.
No contract for operation which is detri-
mental 10 the city is likely to get by an
authorizing body OF which Mr.. Ryan is a
member. His appointment is in a way a VIC
tory for transit. The Governor deserves
eommendation for having made it, whether
politics had anything to do with it or not
ana the sort Of service which distinguished
the appointee as City Solicitor may conf
IDENTIFY be expected OF him as q Public Service
Commissioner.

Al says "he caught fox Foxtown HILL his
fox terrier having chased the fox into hole
and chased It out again." AL said the fox was
a gray and the durn thing jumped right into
the lap Of Mr.. Terpenning.
The hunter held on to the animal. having
dropped his gun. To pick up the gun he had to
