THE WORLDS STRONG MAN
PASSES ON

The name Of Eugen Sandow was
synonymous with strength. Death
as the result Of an auto mishap
Of the famous strong man" in
London yesterday removed the last
Of the superlatively muscular who
had attained International fame.
There may be other strong men,
some of whom, like Sandow in his
younger days, are exhibiting their
muscular development in the thea
ters and circuses; but there seems
TO be mono living who startled the
world so thoroughly as did Sandow
in his prime.
It seems TO be only yesterday
that pictures of this colossus Of
strength met one on nearly every
side, and illusions 10 him In the
public prints were of nearly every
day occurrence. But mat was lhe
time when the strong man was
touring the world and was A great
favorite in the United States among
those who had bent toward ad'
miring physical perfection.
The important thing to remem'
bcr about Sandov was that as q
child he was regarded as a weak
ling. and that his subsequent de-
yelopment came as the result Of q
llrotimes application OF scientific
strength development principles
One OF Shadows customers ir

NEW HAVEN'S ATTEMPT
TO REGAIN LINES

The Sherman antitrust law Is
stil on the books. The decree OF
dissolution directed against the
Nag Haven railroad in 1914 In re-
gard to It's trolley and steamship
holdings in Connecticut was based
upon Its violation OF the spirit and
letter OF 40 law. There are many
who believe return OF these proper
ties TO the railroad today would
stand in the same relation to the
Sherman law today as was the case
In 1914.
The New Haven railroad, in
seeking to regain complete control
OF the trolley and steamship routes,
seems to labor under the SUPPOSE
ton that the law has been changed.
1t also seems to be OF the opin-
Ion that the railroad ought to have
national monopoly OF transporta-
ton In New England, especially in
Connecticut. The general public is
not Of this opinion.
The finances OF the railroad
were all but wrecked by the at
tempt to buy up other means of
transportation. Thousands OF Con-
hectic stockholders suffered
great financial losses through this
attempt. They were innocent Of
wrongdoing but had TO sit Idly by
while self-constituted "transporta-
ton magnates' attempted the i'm
possible at little II any loss to
themselves but with heavy losses
to the real owners OF the property.
Connecticut people who lost as a
result OF this historic transporta-
ton maneuvering have not forgot
ten the episode and are not In
clined to regard the monopoly idea
in transportation favoraby.
The business of the New Haven
railroad ought to be to concentrate
upon running a railroad, not oper-
ating trolley and steamship lines.
The operation of bus lines as sub
stitutcs for poorly paying passen-
ger railroad trains may be justified
but too much Of this sort Of thing
done merely to compete with indie
pendent companies may be just as
wastcful as buying up trolley lines
was in the past.

'R.R. Merger Will
EFFECT new ROAD
StiIIWelPS Dream Of Great
Carrier Nearing Realization

New York. Oct. Is P)--Plans for
the creation of the premier rail-
road OF the country" are a step near
er naturalization with the purchase
by the Kansas City Southern Rail
way of the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacilic's practically controlling
interest in the st. Louis Southwest
ern of Cotton Belt Railway, the last
road to pass from the control of the
Gould family.
1t was the dream of Arthur l..
stillwel, builder OF the Kansas City
Southern-Somctimcs called the road
the brownies built because he said
the brownies inspired him to build 1t
to extend it east and make it one
Of the nations great carriers.
l.. r. Loree, chairman Of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Kansas
City Southern and president Of the
Delaware and Hudson, recently told
the interstate commerce commission
Of his ambitions 10 create "the pre-
mer railroad" He has an applica-
ton pending before the interstate
commission to build a new railroad
across Pennsylvania TO form the
backbone OF a trunk line to compete
with the Pennsylvania, the Balti-
more and Ohio, and the New York
| Central,
Combination Proposed.
II is proposed, Mr.. Loree says, 10
combine the Kansas City Southern
and the Cotton Belt with the Mis-
souri, kansas-TeXas railway, contro

traditions OF the American stage.
But the "glorifylng" managers re-
ply that the boys from tho outer
world demand the Qualification of
girls, Just like the seashore beauty
pageants OF the summer glorifes

The clty's output OF literary
filth Is undoubted: but <he dollar
chasers who produce the literary
junk claim they are merely meet
Ing the demand, which strongly ex-
lists In the provinces as we'll as In
the metropolis. In fact, they de-
clare there Is more OF this class OF
literature" sold In the small
towns than in New York. Whether
this is true we do not know; II
there Is as much Of It sold in other
small cities as there is In New
York the claim probably Is based
on a fair surmise.
That New York Is foreign
city. run by and for foreigners" is
charge that has to be met by
New Workers. with more than
platitudinous denials. There may
be something to the claim. The
complexion OF the city has changed
remarkably during the past &c
years and foreign ideals, ideas and
aspirations cannot be said to BIZ
exactly unknown. That this phas,
OF New York's tendency Is resented
In many sections OF the countr,
there can scarcely be a doubt
There are those who would prefer
New York to remain an American
city run on the American plan
Yet, II the melting pot in realit,
Is to be such a pot and the tern
not a mere figure Of speech. New
York has the opportunity TO be tn,
most effective melting pot In thu
country. The point, however, hal
been made that the melting pot II
New York Is not melting the q
or SO nationalities very well, or II
anything like the manner common
In most other cities. The vastnes
OF numbers permits the continue
ton OF racial ideals within the cit,
without much mixing with othe
races. The ideal OF the American
melting pot therefore is defeated
right at the place where 1t coult
be a most effective example. A
least, these things are claimed b,
critics Of the town.
Perhaps the present is too carl,
to expect the melting pot to worI
to perfection. Perhaps 1t may neet
another half century before show
ing the results once anticipated
Meanwhile criticisms against tn
metropolis should be to its advan
tage by calling attention to sup
posed deficiencies. The averag
New Yorker regards his city as su
perior in every detail, and Their
can be no harm in pointing ou
where 1t may be failure.
