WHO STOPPED RAILROAD REBArINc7

Holding with many impartial and competent stu
dents of history" says the Wall Street Journal, "that
government regulation of the railroads has cost the
country intellectually more than the safeguards it was
supposed to impose were worth; that it has been not
merely negatively but positively mischievous, that
opinion, expressed in this place, has been challenged
by a reader, who says:
".At least you will admit that the EIkins law of
1908 and President Roosevelt, experimenting the pow
ers of the Interstate Commerce Commission stopped
rebating.'
1--WE shall admit nothing OF the kind. When the
Elkins law was passed rebating had been stopped by
the railroads themselves who were the chief suffer-
ers from that form of blackmail. Roosevelt was a
great man particularly in the unsupported diplomatic
ability which prevented many international and some
domestic questions from ever becoming acute. He
was a great politician and like other politicians was
not above seizing the prestige to be derived from
what may be called killing dead giants.
at was A. j. Cassatt, president of the Pennsylva-
mia railroad, backed by the capital and credit of that
great institution, who stopped r~ebating, some years
before the Elkins act was placed on the statute books.
Carnegie was the great rebator. He retired from bust
ness when rebating stopped.
at is an interesting piece Of unwritten history. In
the late n%ineties Carnegie was playing Off the rail-
roads to which he gave his western business one
against the other-Baltimore & Ohio, Norfolk &
Western and Chesapeake & Ohio-and using any or
all of them to club Pennsylvania. Relating was de-
moralizing, and good railroad management hated II.
To none of these managers was it more repugnant
than to A. ]. Cassatt, with his sensitive honor and his
fine foresight
He anpounced his policy to the Pennsylvania d.
rectors. He said, in effect: We will put $40, 900, 900
into the purchase of control of Baltimore & Ohio,
Norfolk & Western and Chesapeake & Ohio, not to
absorb them or even to hold control permanently, but
to bring their standards up to those of the Pennsylva-
mia and eliminate rebating. once and for ALL This
he proposed and this he did. From the moment of
Pennsylvania control no rebates were allowed on these
systems, which among them controlled the Pittsburgh
freight. Carnegie saw that the old order had changed,
giving place to new. He sold out 10 j. P. Morgan and
the Steel Corporation. 1t need hardly be said that the
latter, although the company was formed two years
before the Elkins act was passed, never received a re-
bate or asked for one.
Business, as usual, reformed itself from within.
Government regulation had nothing TO do with it."

III HERD INSTINCT.

1.-The vast majority of human eings-merchants
manufacturers, bankers and the consuming public
are under the spell of the herd instinct They move
in masses, by comm on impulse and in obedience to
the general direction of the crowd" observes the
Philadelphia North American.
when commodity prices months ago had SCARED to
artificial heights and a downward plunge was plainly
imminent, consumers clamored to buy goods and small
merchants besieged the producers with orders for mer-
chandise at any prices. Today, with prices in many
lines below the cost of replacement, or even of pro-
duction, commodities go begging. Copper is now
fee at z, crude rubber at 16, clothing wool at 65 to
70, with buyers scarce; a few months hence, after
prices have risen sharply, purchasers will be storming
"When industrial and other securities, like eyery-
thing else, had been driven up to unwarranted quota
tons, the brokers' offices were crowded, and million
share days were the rule. Today the same securities,
intrinsically as valuable as then, are selling down to
half the former prices-and the brokers' offices are de-
serted. Yet as surely as the time comes that the gen.
eral level has risen 20 points or SO and daily gains are
registered, the speculative public will plunge into buy
ing. The instinct of the herd!
eve have a currency system which has stood the
strain of the war and under which ample credit is
available to every sound business enterprise; all fear
of money stringency has been eliminated, and rates
are seeking lower levels. Despite the vast cost of the
war, the nation has more wealth, actually and rela-
lively, than ever before, a stronger home market and
wider foreign markets. More enlightened policies
have made the government a constructive ally of legi-
goods, because of curtailment of output, is below nor
NAL requirements, and when the demand comes it will
tax the resources of production. Some commodity
prices are still high, but in many lines they are lower
today than they are likely ever to be again.
ain a word the present situation, which makes most
folk hesitate, offers opportunities as inviting as ever
existed, to the business man or the investor who has
foresight, courage and a spirit of independence. These
will proft-they are laying the foundations now. The
others, the majority, will hold back with the herd, then
stampede TO buy after prices have shot upward.
"The men who possess the foresight and originality
to take advantage of such conditions as prevail today
are exceptional. 1t would be well for the country if
there were more of them. For while they reap rich
rewards themselves, it is their ordered planning and
forward-looking enterprise which does most to keep
the production machinery going and to hasten the re-
turn of prosperity, in which all of us share"

the moderate and medicinal uses of alcohol would be
many times greater than, the number Of detectives that
could be saved by prohibition
"f the present laws of prohibition were to be en-
forced, the lives of more people would be sacrificed
from the lack of alcohol to ward off colds, influenza
and pneumonia and for their after-treatment than all
the lives that would be lost by the unrestricted use
of alcoholic beverages of every sort and description.
Those who nature would eliminate for the good of
the race prohibition seeks to save and let their tainted
blood and their poisonous protoplasm be turned into
the blood stream of the race; instead of the httest,
they would secure the survival of the ~unfttest, an act
as damnable as to turn the sewage of a city into its

generations than could ever be produced by the frecst

THE LADY WITH

Gould l start an account with
ninety dollars? Iwant to put in some
every two weeks and and pay my bills
with checks, as l don'tlike to keep so
much money in the house."
This is the way a lady started an
account with us the other day. What
she said, and the reason she ex-
pressed for having a bank account
applies to thousands of women.
So many women are afraid to go
into a bank, and to ask a bank to han
die their money because they fear it
is too small. That does not apply
here. We are glad to start checking
accounts with $50 or more, or a saw
ings, account paying 4 per cent inter-
est, with a dollar.
You can save money by having a
bank account, and paying your bills
by check.

Like All Other Great Discoveries
First Ignored
CHIROPRACTIC
Gains International Prestige
VHHHHHHHHnM
Are You Informed of the Nature of
This New Science?
Originally scoffed upon, then ridiculed, later bitterly at
tackled by contending professions, yet gaining recognition
through miracle" recoveries-this is the history of Chro-
practic; the science of restoring health through spinal
adjustments.
Following in the wake of the recent recovery of a child
who talked continuously for over two hundreds hours,
additional press dispatches of still newer cures have
gained publicity, thousands of people from the Atlantic
to the Pacific have expressed an unusual interest in the
science, several state legislatures have officially recog- '
nized the profession and more similar bodies are on the
verge of encouraging it through legislative assistance.
Men and women, uniformed of the manner by which all
ments are first caused in the spinal column and reflected
in corresponding points of the body, have wasted their
lives when a few short visits to a local Chiropractor would
have relieved them.
True, Chiropractic will not cure every condition, nor will
any honest Chiropractor claim his science to be a cure
all" yet a record of diseases it has cured covers practically
every ailment known to the human race.
Conclusfvely; be fair to yourselfl Consider the advance
of this science in the true light of its actual accomplish
ments. No one can afford to ignore it if the price of that
disregard be a continued wasted life.
