given a suspended sentence, turned loose 10 continue
his career Of crime. He is now in the Tennessee PEN
itentiary, sent there for the same character Of crime
he committed here.
We suppose in all these cases there was the ap-
peal for mercy made on the grounds that God would
forgive, and that we should exercise the divine at
tribute of mercy and forgiveness. But finite mind
cannot read the heart lie God can, and has no way Of
judging the genuineness of repentance. There 10

doer shall not suffer the consequences Of his sin on
this earth. On the other hand the Thou Shalt Nots"
and the BE sure your sins will find you outs" and
the wages Of Sin is Death" stand out as warnings
from almost every chapter. Good people often think
they are called on to bestow the mercy that is in Gods
hands alone. They arrogate to themselves attributes
that are in the keeping of the Almighty. In most cases
where man forgives Of crimes against society there is
anything but kindness extended to the accused. The
Ratliff brothers are wounded and in Jail awaiting a
certain sentence Of death for the killing of the Cisco
officer. Hickman, with the spectre Of the little muir
dered girl ever before lis vision, means and raves
crying out "oh God, oh God, will they hang me?"
The man turned loose in our city has more crimes on
his soul and more penalties to serve because of sickIy
sentiment worked up in some mysterious way in his
behalf.
The greatest mercy that can be shown the young
criminally inclined. is to make it plain to them that
a career Of crime does not pay.

Railroads today are operating with greater con-
fidence in the future than they have done at any other
time in the past twenty years and the most satisfac-
tory feature Of the existing situation is the spirit Of
cooperation on the part Of the ~employe.
This is due chiefly to two outstanding factors:
First. railroad service itself is better than it ever was,
and second. the people of the United States know it
and want it continued, and railroad investors are en-
Icouraged to furnish more capital for the expansion
and improvement of that service.
1t is generally recognized that the quality Of rail-
road service consistently performed in recent years
has contributed in no small degree to the continuance
of the present prosperity Of the American people. This
realization is being translated into a willingness on
the part of the public that railroads be allowed n fair
share in the prosperity which they had helped to
create.
One of the distinguished features of this pros
perity is that profits have been made by turning over
an enormous volume Of goods at relatively small mar
gins. Such an accomplishment would have been alto
.gether impossible without quick, dependable and ade-
quate transportation. Expedition Of railroad service
has reflected favorably upon the entire economic
structure.
What has thus far been accomplished, however,
represents only the beginning Of the improvements
that are possible in the railroad industry itself and in
its relation to American industry and agriculture.
Transportation needs of the future can be measured
only in terms OF the possibilities Of the growth Of the
country itself. The ability Of the railroads TO pro-
mote this growth has by no means been exhausted.
Economic changes are occurring in our methods Of pro-
.duction and distribution to which the railroad indus
try must continue to adapt itself.
The outlook is bright. Railroad officers and own
ers feel the support Of . constructive public opinion.
Regulating authorities reflect that sentiment. The
railroads and their owners are ready to 90 forward
with the advancement Of American business and well
fare generally.

Boston, July 25 (UP)-Charles

IN connection with the latest az

of the Sportsman magazine.
Referring to the games of 1924,
the magazine quoted Paddock as
follows:

day, the moment that he was set,
should start running. The rest OF
us would know what to expect and
could save ourselves But Abrahams.

himself would have to go. too, ex-
pending his energy. or course if the
first American was not called back
he would undoubtedly win. But if
the next American would try. and
the next until each American would
have started twice, while Abra hams
would have had to start hard eight
times. In that many chances it was
very probable that one American
would get away. But If no one did
it would not make any difference,
because Abrahams would be so worn
out from his eight trials that an
American would win anyway.
1T was a grand idea. 1t could
hardly fail. The four Of us left our
tent and went to the starting line.

beaten. The signal for carrying out
our plan would be given by the
sprinter who drew the inside lane.
Numbers We're placed in hat, we
put in our hands, felt with our
fingers for the tiny cubes-and I
drew the inside lane. The moment
looked at the number ] knew that
the scheme was off. Any my team
mates seemed to sense II too. For
the training that We had had in
American athletics prevented us
from Selling that kind Of an oppor-
