LINc0LN--A LEApER. son A RULER.

rwx oDAY while honoring the memory OF Abraham
4 Lincoln, greatest American, let US reflect upon the
lessons OF Ineoins life applied to our problems OF
today
We see ourselves drawing nearer the maelstrom Of
wsr-a war which IS waged, in the main, between
people who led by leaders and people who are
ruled BY rulers.
Leaders not rulers arc the need of the world. to-
day, in Lincon's time,
We think Of Lincoln as the man OF the people: the
commoner; the democrat; whose views were those Of
the great intelligent whose feelings, those OF
the men who toll.
But we should not think OF him as the ordinary man.
Understand this dlnerencel
Lincoln, born lowy, OF shiftless father spring
ine from that peculiar poor people of the Southern
States his days IN honest toll and pored far into
Tho night, by pickering candle the few books he
could borrow from more fortunate neghbors
Wath determination rare IN the human race he
set about TO become master of knowledge and by his
own untring he raised himself from unleitered
mountain yokel to tho most exalted position that
can hestow.
That Is Why Lincoln the commoncr, was not an ord
nary man.
LncoIns must spring from the common people, for
few outside the common people have the true
brothery outlook upon tho problems and trials that
hesct mankind
Cod hasten the time when the common people VIII
produce more Lucolns
With Lincoln IN every land today, there would be
no warrns millions, laying waste the land and widow
Ing and orphanins humauty.
Had Tostoy been Lincoln-had that great Russian
been peasantborn. with fun understanding OF the
peasants needsthe OF history might have been
changed.
Had Lebknecht been greater man. leaders instead
Of rulers might have prevailed in Germany. and the
course OF history might be very different.
The common people must and viii prevail IN every
land.
But this happy day viii not arrive until the common
people realize that the world is full OF Llncolns--f
they Will only seek them out-and prepare TO be led
BY them along paths Of governmental and economic
wisdom.

The Railways Reduced Part of The
Railway Dollar

1915. During the 10 years ending
with 1908 the railway companies were
able to retain to use in payment in
terest and dividends and in making
improvements 50.71 cents out Of every
dollar they earned. During the 10
years, 1906-1915. inclusive. they were
able TO retain for the uses mentioned
only 26.97 cents out of every dollar
they earned. This was reduction Of
3.74 cents per dollar OF earnings. This
difference may seem small. but when
u IS considered IN its relation TO the
entire railroad industry II becomes a
matter OF enormous importance. II
during the 10 years ending with 1915
the railways had been allowed TO re-
tain 3.74 cents more than they actual
~ we're out OF each dollar they earn
ed-in other words, the same amount
relatively that they were allowed to
retain in the 10 years preceGing-their
average net operating income per
year in the 10 years from 1905 10
1915 would have been over Sl0s 900 900
greater than il was. This would have
paid a return OF 5 per cent on an adj
ditional investment OF $4,000, 100000.
IN other words, II tbs regulating
authorities and the tax gatheFeTs had
allowed the railways 20 retain during
the 10 years since effective regulation
was begun as large a portion OF their
total earnings as they retained in
previous years tho extension and de-
yeiOpmeut of the railways probably
would not have been arrested, and the
recent car shortage' and traffic con-
gestion probably would not have Oc-
Cured"
