THE SANTA FEE.

Very few railroads have displayed
a consistency OF. performance last year
comparable to that of the Santa Fe,
in the opinion of the Financial Sur
vey" issued by Mosher & Wallace,
brokers. AS 1921 has taken its place
in financial history as a year of acute
and distressing business depression,
the record, they say, is indeed re-
markable.
The road has ten months surplus,
equal to about STATS annually on the
common, it is pointed out, and should
end the year with the same average,
N not better. Should net during the
final quarter be equally as good, then
the road would show earnings almost,
II not quite as good as 1s per cent for
the common after fixed charges and
dividends for the preferred.
One OF the shrewdest authorities On
railroad securities in the financial dis
trict is reported\as saying that judg-
Ing by the statistical position OF the
Santa Fe it is clearly a case that the
road IS in position to increase its
dividends to or per cent whenever
It is considered advisable to do so.

railroad systems of the country. Its

HE USED AN AXEIPLEAD FOR VETS
Slew Whole Family Then
Failed at Suicide.
Father Then Walked to Sher-
ifs Office and Reported.


Charleston, ILL.,, JAN 16.-Taking an
axe from a shed on his farm early this
morning. B..F. Monroney, "a, slew his
entire family while they were asleep.
The farmer then walked calmly into
Sheriff Ayes office and confessed to
killing his wife, Kate, As; his dough
ter, Ruth, 16, and son Harry, IA.
Deputies were rushed from the
sheriff's office to the farm where they
witnessed one of the most gruesome
sights in the history of Coles county.
Harry, the son, who was slain FIRST,
according to the old mans story, was
found lying across his bed with a gap
ing wound in his head and the walls
of the room were despatched with
gore. His wife, Kate, was found in
another room, also dead.
The daughter, Ruth, was still alive
when deputies found her in a room
on the second floor of the home. She
was rushed to a Hospital but died from
two blows on her head.
After committing the crime, the old
man said he went to the barn to hang
himselg, but was unsuccessful. He re-
turned to the death house." where
he remained for three hours watching
the bodies before coming to town.
Monroney had been worrying over
financial matters, he said, and had
been told that a note on a farm he
had sold at Yale, Ill, could not be
collected because the date of maturity
was last Sunday.

Dorothy Dix Talks
The Woman with . Past

The Woman With q Past.
There is no problem in the world
more heartbreaking, or more difficult
of solution that that of the woman
with a past, who has come back and
who yearns to lead the normal life of
woman, and have a husband, and chill
dren, and home of her own.
1t used to be believed that there
was something intrinsically degenerate
in every women who strayed off the
we judge such a woman with a
broader Intelligence now. We know
that the vast majority of women who
go wrong are the women who have
more heart than head. More, they are
led into wrongdoing by the very best
that is in sthem.
They sin because they love too
much, because they are too generous
to count the cost of what they give,
because they trust too blindly, be-
cause they cannot say "No" to the
pleading lips that are so dear to them,
as stronger, a harder, a more cir
culating, and selfish woman could.
We also used to join in the old cry
that the woman who has Sinned never
reforms. Tens of thousands of Wo-
men who have climbed out of the pit
into which they fell in their wayward
youth, and who are living lives of
blameless purity and rectitude, give
the lie to this ancient SANDER on wo-
manhood, and if more women who
have taken the step aside do not fight
their way back into responsibility it is
because we make the way of the Mag
dalene who yearns to become a Mary
SO hard and difficult.
When tho prodigaI son repents,
everybody gives him a helping hand
and Stays the fatted calf for him.
When the prodigal daughter repents,
not even a finger is stretched out to
her, nor a veal chop offered to her
Everybody believes that the prodiga1
son has seen the folly of his ways,
and that his repentance is genuine, but
no one trusts the prodigal daughters
repentance, or has faith in her hold
ing to the good. Everyone is eternally
looking for her to backslide.
Yet no one has fed upon such husks
as she has. No one has in life such

No other woman on earth knows how

who has lived it, what a sardonic
mockery of real happiness is what is
called the gay life. r,.r
The unsophisticated young girl, the
married woman bored with domestic
ity, are far more apt to be lured by
the bright lights into wrong doing than
the woman who knows them for what
they are, and that they are not the
beacons along the road to paradise, as
the ignorant woman thinks, but the
lamps that flame along the road to
hell, as the wise woman knows. Il
