"ASSISTING" VOTERS

To fhc Editor Ot tHc ErcNNO Ledger.
Sr-ln expressing my own opinion I
know that | am expressing that of a great
many others whom / have talked to- and
that Is that if they would stop this prac-
tice of assisting the voters to mark their
ballots the independents would surely be
successful Also abolish the tax receipts
because the gang furnishes them TO their
own and then own them body and soul.
When ! went to vote four men came run
ming up to me, one after the other ask
ing me II they could assist me in marking
my ballot. They certainly got their answer,
but great many allow them to do this

What the figures for next year VIII
show is beyond the ability OF the statis'
ticians to compute. The Government Is
discouraging the manufacture of pleasure
cars. 1t wishes the automobile makers
to concentrate on war work. This will
reduce the OUTPUT of touring cars and
runabouts. but will not AFFECT the totai
production. unless some of the factories
should use their machinery for making
airships But automobiles will continue
in use. If people cannot buy new ones
they will have TO be content with the old.

is almost as great as the total number
Of cars licensed in 1914. There is one
car for every two and a half families.
This proportion Is exceeded in the centers
Of population. In one short block in one
OF the suburbs of this city there are
seven cars and only twelve families.
There are doubtless other blocks In other
suburbs in which the number of cars
is greater than the number OF families.
Here are the comparative figures for
the whole State for the last four years.

Speeding Up Freight

Freight congestion at many important
shipping points has been averted by prompt
~ moving empty cars from one railroad
to another irrespective Of ownership.
Through the adoption of this policy the
railroads have been able to move more
than i25,OO0 empty freight cars into dis
trcts where they have been most needed
Through the pooling of lake coal and
lake ore, a saving Of 81, 900 cars in moving
those commodities alone has been achieved
\ further saving Of $4,000 cars has
been made possible by the pooling of tide
water coal. Checks made recently in all.
parts of the country show that through
the cooperation of shippers thousands OF
cars that formerly carried less than so per
cent of their full capacity are now being
loaded anywhere from 20 to 10 per Ccns
of their cubical capacity.
In addition to maintaining the COM
mercial life of the country at high pitch,
the railroads have also delivered more
than 100000 carloads Of supplies to the
environments and other army training
camps. and handled troop movements in
volvng more than a million men.
This movement of troops is the largest
ever undertaken in this country, but to date
1t has been accomplished without hitch
or delay,
The railroads have also recruited num-
her of railway regiments for service abroad
as a vital aid in American strategy over
there"

u. s. RAILROADS
DOING BIG "BIT'
Great Transportation Systems
Subordinate All Activities to
Object of Winning
the War

IN April IL OF this year. five days after
" war was declared, the railroads OF
this country voluntarily agreed among
themselves to merge competitive activities
for the period of the war and subordinate
all individual interests to service for the
nation They agreed practically that All
ownership names should be wiped out on
the 10000 miles Of track owned by them
and that their various lines should be
operated as "A single continental system, the
operation to be directed by committee of
five. known officially as the executive com
mittee. but generally called the Railroads
War Board
The war board consists of Fairfax llar-
rison. of the Southern Railway; Howard
Elliott of the New York New Haven and
Hartford Railroad Hale Holden, OF the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad;
Samuel Rea OF the Pennsylvania railroad,
and julius kruttschnltt, Of the Southern
Pacific Railroad.
Since the formation OF the Railroads
War Board, II nationwide campaign OF cdu-
cation has been conducted TO secure the
cooperation of the shippers and general
public.

What Has Been Done

What has been accomplished by the rail-
roads through this cooperation during the
last five months may bc summarized as
follows:
The excess Of untitled ear requisitions
over Idle cars. or what is commonly
called ear shortage. has been reduced
more than 15 per cent. ON April 80 the
so-called car shortage amounted to liS,-
G27; on September it had been reduced
to 1891.
In the month of June freight transpor-
tation service rendered by approximately
10 per cent of class | roads earnings OF
a million or more) was % per cent great
er than in June 1916. This increase in
freight service is equal To the entire
freight of Great Britain, France, Russia,
Germany and Austria combined.
Approximately 25OO0 900 miles Of train
service a year have been saved by the elm
nation of all passenger trains not essen-
tial to the most pressing needs Of the coun-
try
This reduction Of passenger service has
released hundreds of locomotives and train
crews and cleared thousands of miles Of
track that are absolutely needed in the
freight service for the transportation Of
wartime necessities.

YESTERDAY we were talking about
Judge John NJ. Patterson's collection OF
Dickens first editions when the bottom
of our column flew up and topped us
We were about to say that collectors of
books early discover the keener joy Of
acquiring original manuscripts, auto
graph letters and artists drawings Many
people may own similar copies of the
same book, but only one may possess the
thing that has no counterpart.
The first Dickens autograph picked up
by the Judge was a check on Coutts Il
Co, bankers, and was payable, curiously
enough. to a Mr.. Patterson. His first
manuscript was The Patrican's Daugh-
ter" and he bought that of Harry Il.
Smith, the librettist, for $500
Everybody is familiar with Barnards
drawing of Sidney Carton on the steps
of the scaffold and of Bill Skies moodily
eyenE his faithful dog cowerinL in the
corner. Well, the Judge has those and
four other wash drawings Of lesser i'm
portance by Barnard; and he's got Dar-
ley's Little Nell and Her Grandfather"
and Green's Death of Quilp" and many
of the best of Cruikshank's and 1ablot
Brownies and Cattermole's.

A GRAND thing it is to be judge of "a
Common Pleas Court. But it's a greater
thing to be a judge of good books; and to
be judge and lover of Dickens, it seems
to us, eminently fits a man to be judge OF
a Common Pleas Court.

BUT a boolii5h person woIld find most
delight in browsing among the Judges
collection of autograph letters Imagine
the thrill of being the first to discover
that Dckens's first reading of The
Chimes" to his assembled friends at 5S
cember ., 1874. as all the world has be-
lieved, but upon the third,
Restrain your smiles, reader! It's a
very important matter, sir; important
enough, at any rate, to make the letter
which spills the information worth a
Kings ransom or the price of your win
ter's supply of coal.
This very valuable letter was written
by John Forster, the biographer of Dick
ems, to the Rev. Mr.. Harness, inviting
him "to come out tomorrow evening" to
hear Dickens, and it's dated Monday, De-
cember . The well-knoMn picture by
Maclse, as well as the biography written
by Forster. fixes the reading upon Mon
day. So both seem to have made a mis-
take of one day.
Another sentence in the letter 10 worth
a passing mention; it is the announce
ment that at DickenS's request nothing
stronger than tea" would be served. Dick
ems had journeyed all the way from
Genoa to read his story and he meant
that all the tears that fell should be Of
his exciting and not John Barleycorn's.
