VIERNES.
Els este el sexto dfa de Ia semana.
Viernes vale tanto como "Veneris
dies, palabras latinas que significan
'dfa de Venus por estar este dfa con-
sagrado a aquella diosa.
Hay un lucero de intense resplan-
dor Que aparece por la mafiana Y tar
de Y que. de muy antique, ha sido de-
signado con diversos nombres. Nos
otros lie llamamos ell planeta Venus.
Recorriendo la mitologfa pagana, ell
nombre de Venus atrae especialmente
nuestra atenci6n, pues no es va Ell
nombre de III dos potente o sangui-
mario, sino ell de una diosa bella y
amable, en- que los antiques simboli-
zan todos los encantos de- la natura-
leza.
Los griegOs la llamarOn Afrodita,
este es, hija de la espuma, y SUI histo-
ria es bella como la diosa. Cuenta la
leyenda que cuando Cronos mutil0 a
SUI padre arroj6 sus miembros al mar,
los cuales flotaron largo tempo sobre
las ondas. Alrededor de ellos form0-
Sc una blanca espuma, de la cual ma
clio Ia diosa Venus. Una concn ma
rina lie sirvi6 de nave, que ell cefiro
hizo vagar sobre las ondaS, impelien-
dola al fin a las costas de Chipre,
donde la recibieron mas ninfas que
la conduieron t%riunfalmente al OHM
po, asentandola en- un bello trono ro-
deado de nubes Y resplandores.
Ella es la graciosa e~strella matuti-
ma que alegra ell alba Y ell firmamento
sobre los celajes del crepdsculo.
SABADO.
rs ell sabado el dltimo dfa de nues-
ira semana. Su nOmbre, de origen he
breo, significa ''dfa Gle ~descanso",
pues era para ellos ley severa ell alb
soluto reposo durante ell dfa, que de-
dicaban a la oraci6n Y fervoroso cul-
to en- sus sinagogas.
Conforme queda dicho, la religion
c~ristiana 10 ha reemplazado, institu-
yendo con ell mismO fin ell domingo.
FL sabado cierra ell periodic de siete
dfas que tanta importancia tiene en-
los ritos religiosos de los pueblos a n
tiguos. Los romanos, pOr ejemplo, ce-
LIBRARIAN durante siete dfas sus fies-
tas saturnales, en- las que Sc entire
gaban a TODD genera de eXcesos ell la
comida Y bebida. Hoy apenas pOde-

BE FAIR TO THE RAILROADS

the volume of business handled to pay the
actual transportation costs, without making
any allowance for payment of interest on the
capital invested. 1t is doubtful if doubling
in the volume of business would be of much
assistance to the railroads, unless a reduc-
ton in wages takes place, for the conclusion
seems inescapable that the greater the ton
mage carried at loss the greater the gross
loss will be.
Even the Communists will no longer dis
pute the fact that the railroads cannot be
operated without capital; and capital cannot
be found for railway investment unless there
is prospect of profit. Reducing railroad
rates without lowering wages is not policy
that is likely to attract much capital Wary
investors are displaying an inclination to
place their money in public securities that
pay fixed income and are not taxable.
We might as well face the railroad situa-
ton as it exists and admit that during the
last ten years we have made sorry mess Of
interfering with the operation of what was
once, and probably still is, despite its present
defects, the greatest and most efficient rail-
way system in the world. Ten years ago the
railroads were making a sufficient profit to
attract investors with the result that capital
was always available for betterments, ex-
tensions and the building of new lines.
More mileage of new road was constructed
in a single year than during the last five
years. And wherever the new railroad lines
were builded development followed. The
pioneer railroad builders made the marvellous
growth of the Pacific slope possible. But
that development has not been completed it
was just fairly under way when the propa-
ganda against the private ownership of the
railroads began.
Regulation of the railroads was necessary
but it was sad mistake to carry that regula-
ton to the point of persecution. We permit
ted demagogues and faddists to fill positions
that required sound judgment and expert
knowledge; and we have since paid the price
Now the railroads are placed in an extremely
critical position. They have been compelled
to make rate reductions which mean present
operation at a heavy loss, and they must
trust to the future for reimbursement.
Provided they do not suffer financial col
lapse, the plan may be a practical one. 1t
has the support of the President and Secre-
tary Hoover; but the people of the country
should understand the conditions under
which the reductions are made and should
give their support to the reduction of trans
portation costs to the railroads. Failing to
do So the railroads will be forced into bank
ruptcy and the business stagnation which
would follow would be a national calamity.

Brilliant Wedding
In South Carolina


Through the kindness of Hon Will
liam c. Meek, the Dispatch has had
the pleasure of reading a beautifully
written account of the Haselden-
Mahon wedding, which occurred. at
Georgetown, S. c., on January 4th
The bride was Miss Alice Marie
Haselden, of Georgetown, S. c., and
the groom was Doctor William Lam
der Mahon, of Spartanburg, S. C.
In the account of the wedding the
fact is mentioned that Doctor Mahon's
groomsman was Mr.. Seth A. Meek
which brings interest in the wedding
to our city, for it was here that Mr.
Meek was born and grew to manhood.
Doctor Mahon had handsome
groomsman in the person of Mr. Seth
A. Meek. The groomsman is, the man
who takes the Fellowcraft Degree.
First thing we know, Seth will be
raised to the sublime degree of
groom. So mote it be.
While reading an account Of the
wedding. we noticed on the first page
of the Georgetown Times, the paper
in which the write-up appeared, that
the paper was established in 1897.
From the contents and general APP
pearance Of the Times we judge that,
like a certain kind of fluid politicians
used to drink a century or two ago,
it improves with age.
