MEET SIDELIGHTS

The following paragraphs were
| taken from the testimony at the
/ public utilities commission on the
fare increase Hearing yesterday af-
ternoon, by R. L. King and NJ. W.
| Chamberlin, railway engineer and
attorney respectively, of the Tri-
| City Railway company:
| The street car collision in Moline
on Nov. cost the Tri-City Rail
way company more than $4,000.
| That accident, if it had been paid
) for last year, would have decreased
the net earnings of the company
nearly 1 per cent
The company purchased 142 acres
of COW pasture near Watch Tower
park, Rock Island, If order to pro-
tect the morals of the park. A
clean, moral park means more
business.
One-third of the street car tracks
are laid on paved streets.
The company saved $500 a month
through the skip-stop plan.
The price of common labor in
1914 and 1915 was lower than in
any other year since 1908. A com
mon laborer employed by the com
pany in 1914 received II cents an
hour.
The influenza epidemic during
October and November cut the
earnings of the company in Illinois
$4,000.
The proposed wage increase of
five cents an hour does not apply
to train operatives in Davenport or
on the bridge line.
Only $50 men will be given a lar
ger wage if an increased fare is
granted.
The average life of railway
curves, crossing tracks and similar
work is only 10 years, notwith-
standing any statements made by
IHc Utilities COIlLiiSSlOi GuS4ASeA-
The average life of ordinary
track is 20 years.
In August. 1914. there we're 1000
men employed at Rock Island ar

had jumped to 1900; in November,
1918, there were 1890 in the shops

PESSINIST AND OPTIMTST

When the pessimist arises in the morning he feels sure In adj
Nance that he is going to nick his face in shaving or stick some tooth
paste in his eye IT something like that.
4 He feels convinced that at breakfast his coffee will be cold and
The eggs not cooked to suit him.
\ Because he feels this way he does just exactly what he had ex-
bected to do, he cuts out a nice meaty hunk from his chin, he declares
his coffee is cod-though it is warm enough for all the others IN the
house-and he calls down the cook for the condition of the eggs, al
Though they have been cooked just as usual.
With this bad start the pessimist feels, as customary, that it is
going to be an unlucky day for him.
He declares gloomily to himself that before the day is over he
lNill get a call down from the boss, viii lose a couple of customers aud
Ifal down stairs and break his neck, or something.
h Consequently he is in just the right mood to get the boss in a con-
diio1 where a call down is inevitable.
IL loses a couple of customers because he has told himself it is
inevitable that he will lose them.
And he does fall down and nearly break his neck but-just a the
critical moment-a smiling optimist steps up and saves him
Which leads us to a consideration of the way the world looks to
the optimst.
The optimist arises in the morning with a tune on his lips and a
gladstone smile upon his countenance.
He knows he lis going to enjoy his breakfast and-because he feels
that he is going to like tit seems one of the best breakfasts he ever
ate.
He knows he is going to be praised by the boss and make new sales
records during the day and all that and-because he has this attitude
towards his business-he gets what he expects.
And he feels that before the day is over he will help some poor
sufferer who, as stated above, turns out to be the p ssimst
Pessimism and optimism are ninety per cent. states of mind. How
