DERBY, but its momentum was tremen-
dous. 1t was aggravated by the state

presidents who are trying to persuade

presidents may not have persuaded the
commissioners. but they certainly have
convinced the public that business Is in
. desperate plight.
The awkward feature of the situation
Is that the railroad presidents are really
telling the truth. although they do seem
10 be making the truth look as bad as
possible.
Much Of the selling Is also OF the kind
that would have been done even IL the
railroad earnings had been safe. 1t is for
the account OF very rich persons and in

The Elephant That Will NOtMove

This is an editorial which we shall merely suggest and
which each reader viii write out for himself
In the Geological Garden Of New York poor elephant
has stood in chains for years. The animal thought be
vicious and kept fastened tightly to spot that it
might have no leeway to do damage
short time ago its keeper became convinced that the
elephant would do harm and might safely be unclaimed
The chains taken off, and the keeper thought with salts
faction that the poor beast would enjoy freedom and be
made happy by the possibility Of moving freely about its
large inclosure.
The elephant did not move. The chains were gone it
longer tied but it stood and it still stands in Just
the same spot.
The habit of slavery, of monotony, had become too
strong The elephant though Free stands still sadly sway
ing its heavy head ignorant Of the freedom that has come
to it.

Women, especially, love to dwell
upon the dire possibilities OF that
morrow Of which we are hidden to
take no thought They rarely pay

Often the Apparent Failure Is
Real Turning Point to
Sure Success,

We have a tiresome way Of TAX
ing thought Of the morrow Ivy
plsnning out future events. We
arhue that this or that eircum-
stance can lead to but one eonclu.
sion, and that 1t Is all hopeless,
cruel, and unhappy. Yet time and
chance intervene, and by some
simple, unexpected occurrence the
riddle is read, the Gordian knot
is cut, the tears change to laugh
ter.
But sometimes the sword Of
Damocles falls, the dreadful event
occurs, the unbearable is there to
be borne.
Those who have led long lives
will testify that the apparent fall
ure was often the turning point
which led to success; that IN the
bitter moment Of defeat they dis
covered the clue which they fol-
lowed to victory: that the cruelest
thorns finally blossomed with the
most beautiful roses.

IL to SIT down and with all the

The proper method Of dealing with
the matter is very succinctly set

stand. We lift our eyes and what
confronts US? A shadow, an nlu-

our birthright Of peace
1t is not gratifying to recall
those hours which We have spent
in shuddering over the lions in our
path. Again and again we've
turned aside, feeling that it was
impossible to pass those dreadful
beasts. Night after night we have
