MORE BUSINESS; GREATER Loss

1t is daily becoming more evident
that the governments mismanagement
OF the railroads not only must be paid
for bss the people thru increased taxes
but also thru higher freight rates.
Never before in the history OF rail-
reading has travelling been so heavy
and never has there been such a short
age Of equipment both for passenger
and freight traffic. as is witnessed to-
day from one end to the other of the
continent. In passenger trains it is re-
ported, standing room is at a premium
and as for reservations in sleeping
cars. a request must be made weeks
ahead to receive consideration. Trans
continental trains are loaded to the
brim; the people apparently have all
kinds Of money to spend, and they are
spending It lavishly. In the dining
cars travellers stand in line ten and
fifteen deep before they can even get
= peep at the tables.
The president. It is learned. has not
changed his view and determination
with respect to the necessity of early
return of the roads to private manage
ment. It may be taken for granted
that the roads will be returned to their
owners not later than December 1.
next. possibly sooner. In any event, no
further efforts TO obtain the five-year
governmental control are to be made.
Constantly increasing business is be-
ing transacted. It seems. at increas-
ing daily losses. The greater the bust
ness. the heavier the loss One thins
appears to be certain. Rates must be
increased, especially on freight. A
very large amount OF new rolling stock
must be provided; there is need Of
thousands OF locomotives and on mos

The giant laid down his weapon
and made his way to where Grimes
stood. The shifting of his tremendous
weight caused the boat to rock eccen-

Massachusetts, is courted to death, ac-
cording to the findings of Supervisor of
Administration Thomas w, White, who
has made his report to the legislature
at Boston. He says England, with a
population Of 34,OOO,O0O, has only seven
courts ands employs only 1856 judges,
while Massachusetts,, with a tenth that
population, has ii court divisions and
employs ISL Judges OF course we need
more judging than the English do, but
the supervisor claims we overdo it by
large majority. He recommends that
county governments be abolished by slow
process of eliminating their functions
and turning them over to the state, That
is considered means of eliminating a
lot of politics, which grows faster in
counties than other community divisions,
as the supervisor has found. The super
visor recommends that the legislature re
fuse to raise more salaries of public Of
ficials performing as executives or man.

q thorough study of the whole judicial
procedure and a reduction of the multi

Your labor" he says, was no less
for the security of your country in the
emergency now passing than for its safe
ty in the future. For, if we happily
have ended wars by the winning of this
one, your contribution to that victory
has given your country security, and, if
war should hereafter prove unavoidable
for our country, the lesson you have
learned, the knowledge you have ac-
quired in your labor. should safeguard
the nation against the danger Of ever
again entering upon a great war without
knowing how to shift industrial power
quickly to war channels
with the ability to effect that tran
sition quickly, with adequate provision
for it made in advance, | should never
fear for the safety Of our country. But
lack of preparedness in that respect will
ever be our country's greatest weakness
and gravest danger so long as possibility
of war exists Avoidance of that danger
lies largely in the possibility of con
tinuing a proper contact between the
branch of the military establishment
charged with provision of munitions, and
the industrial world. If that contact is
to be maintained, it must be largely

The art dealer, who was suing another
art expert for a commission for apprais-
ing the pictures, declared that Mr.. Nor
gan secured such good values on his pic
lures that if they were put on the mar
ket to-day they would bring higher prices
than he paid for them, not only because
of Mr.. Morgan's care in making his Sc
lections, but also "on account of the halo
round Mr.. Morgan's name
Among the pictures described are a
Troyon, valued at $4,000, a Crome,
placed at 100000, two pictures by Franz
Halls, valued at Sl25,0OO each, a Van
Hoffema placed at $4,000, Greuze, two
constables and a Breton. In the Wat
ford house, the dealer said, was a pic
ture by VelaQuez valued at 100000, a
magnificent picture Of John Russell, and
fine picture by Abbott of Lord Nelson.
The china, the witness said, included
magnificent Seyres dessert service. -
There are also fine Italian embroideries.
The Grosvneror square treasures were
appraised, the witness testified, at ST.
