many persons who would draw away
from a jag in holy horror but who
will sit down at a table and stuff
themselves till their fat faces turn
purple. They go on a jag every time
they eat a meal. They cram away
enough to kill mule and then play
golf and take hot baths to reduce the
fat. The exercise they need is the
exercise of a little will. Even a hog
will quit when it has enough, but it
remains for man, the supposedly SUI
perior beast, to poke food into his
gullet long after his hunger has been
satisfied.
There are men keen in the bust
ness world who would fire the head
of a department if they caught him
deliberately doing something to i'm
pair his efficiency; yet these same
men, who should have better sense,
will sit down to the table and gorm-
andize in a way to bring shame to a
elf-respecting hog. They eat them
selves into a premature grave, or in

FINE RAILRoADING.

At a time when an embargo on the
expectation OF foodstuffs is under dis
cussion in the public press, one OF the
great railroad systems of the country
has been compelled itself to lay an
, embargo on certain classes Of freight,
being driven to that action by the I'M
precedented volume of business that
is offered. In the period extending
from December 26 to January the
Union Pacific will refuse to accept
freight for delivery at any point that
can be reached by another railroad.
II deliberately withdraws itself from
competition and requires that freight
that can reach destination over com
peting railroad shall be sent over that
road. 1t is reserving all its facilities
exclusively for the service OF com
munities on its route that are de-
pendent upon it exclusively. In order
to fulfill its functions in that respect
the road deliberately toregoes the
profits to be derived from the car
rage Of freight to competitive points.
We think the Union Pacific has
chosen wisely, and has set a fine
standard OF railroad ethics. The
period over which the embargo ex-
tends will enable the road to clean up
it's terminals, make distribution to all
points on it's lines and prepare the
whole system for the resumption OF
ordinary traffic. There are railroads
that would not hesitate to squeeze
the communities wholly dependent
upon them rather than let even a car
load Of competitive freight be diverted
to a rival railroad. The Union Paci-
fic pursued exactly the opposite
course and suspends its fight for
business so that 1t may
better serve the interests of the peo-
pie who are wholly dependent upon
1t. Admirable in principle. this course
cannot fail to prove profitable in pol
Icy. That sort of railroad manage
ment builds up in those il serves an
abiding sense Of Observation-Disclosures
