WHERE LIES THE BLAME.

At this time when there has been thrown upon the
railway systems of the United States unparalleled
traffic in the movement of and munitions necessary
to maintain governmental activities in sustaining its part
in the great shaking the world from center to cir
cuference and industries of all kinds suffer through
delays transportation of needed supplies and materials
there those who think the railways to blame for
their deficiencies. Yet their efficiency
great despite their hndrances by the lawmaker of which
there are many Ancient errors of lawmaking may be
overlooked But what shall be said Of those Congress
who passed the AdamSon act without instructions
to the Interstate Commerce Commission to give assist
ance to the railways in carrying the burdens the act i'm
posed upon them?
The Commission had complained that it's mandate
was merely to regulate rates. and that the duty Oh
Congress to make decisions upon the policy of keeping
the railways equal to their duties Now there is another
and greater demand and the situation exists in
greater urgency.
Yet still there are those who are complaining and
asking how long the people will tolerate" the de-
fciences of the railways, and warns them to mend
properties be taken over by those unequal to the
easier task of telling the railways what to do.
1t is necessary to tell all such that there is more need
of Indulgence toward the lawmakers than toward the
railways. Congress has much need to reconsider its
position as any OF those in any degree responsible for
hanperng the railways in their work The country has
not failed to remark that unwse regulation has brought
the railways into such state that public money
say for their relief at time when it is least convenient
to give it, and when the need is less for money than for
facilities which the money ought to have bought long
ago. The shippers whose business turned away
or carried slowly, are not blaming the railways much
they They have forgotten all about the rate
question They want transportation, and they be-
ginning to who is responsible for their not getting it.
In public appreciation the performance and temper of the
railways better than those Of their rulers and
torentors Congress has its work to do as well as the
railways.

saddes mistakes those which put man in the place
which nature did not intend him to fill.
These facts should be considered from the time the

StOckerS and Feeders

StOckerS and Feeders
Emergency orders for feed
ers to consume soft corn are
less numerous, and more atten-
tion is being paid young

next summer. Prices on stock
ers and feeders are not much
changed, feeding steers at So
to $11.50 stockers 81 to $9.75.

amount to 10000 head a de-
crease of about 5000 from

day, best middle weights $17.5O,
best light hogs $17.3O, bulk of

sales today at $3.50 to $16.50.
