Passengers and Railroads.
Roanoke World-News,

From the Roanoke World-News.
1t will not escape the observation Of
practical railroad men that the largest
gains in railroad net earnings In the
past year have been made by those
railroads which have sought to regain
lost passenger business and which in
the service they render are determined
that their passengers shall be satisfied.
Inc Baltimore d Ohio, which now holds
nrst place IN the attention it gives to
lts passengers, turned a net loss for
the nrst eight months of last year into
q net gain for the first eight months
OF TINS year. For the first ten months
OF the year the Chesapeake & Ohio,
pioneer in air conditioning of passenger
cars, increased its net earnings from
$2.52 share last year to S3.O6 this
year. In the South the largest gain in
net revenue has been made by the
Louisville 6 Nashville, pioneer In the
two-cent fare and abandonment of the
Pullman surcharge.
It would hardly be claimed that the
increased profits of the Baltimore &
ONO and the Chesapeake 81 Ohio have
been due to their passenger earnings,
though passengers report their lonu-dis.
tance trains to be well filled It is the
belief of those who operate those roads

Sam Is something Of Bible student.
He, too, knows those immortal lines,
The guilty flee when no man pursueth,
but the righteous are bold as an lion."
He never gives tie righteous chance.
He bellows them down.
And all in the greatest good humor.
The whole thing Is an uproarious joke
as far as he is concerped-and as far
as he Is concerned is his only concern,
OF course.
, What Is in contrast here is not essen
tial dishonesty and sheer honesty, so
much. as the so-called "joshing" type
OF mind and the serious type.
The, two never meet on common
ground, although often enough they
appear to do so.
The truth is, we believe, they never
do, because their approach to life is
too diverse.
The man we prefer to label dishonest
(because we believe him so to be- Is an
astute old fox who long ago came to
the conclusion that he would be serious
about nothing.
Not only did he figure out in his then
youthful mind that he would save him
self great deal Of self-defense by this
maneuver, but he came to the further
conclusion. and rightly enough, that he
would at the same time put the famous
other fellow perpetually on the de-
fensive.
This, of course, Is one way of life.
That 1t Is adopted no more than 1t Is,
one may think, Is some cause for
wonder, because In the right hands 1t
works marvelously.
One acquires q reputation for being
a good fellow; at the same time he man
ages to convey the idea that somebody
else is a very poor sport.
Short of Paradise, what more could
such q mind demand?
n n 4
That the good man Of our sketch
takes old Sam and his kind far too
seriously may be admitted.
He wouldn't be our hero II he didn't!
His middle name is Serious.
He Is the sort who will stand before
plain swindle and think 1t straight,
not because he does not have good
common sense, but because the rules
CT his game call for him to regard it
fair until proved false.
He Is the sort who believes that per-
petual humor Is very much out of place
In such a world as this, and also that
most Of what passes for 'humor" is only
very poor attempt to be funny at
some one else's expense.
X X eEsva~
The waggish fellow who insists on
using all that is told him against those
who tell it to him, no matter how hon.
est may be their motives, seldom gets
as much fuel for his ambitions as he
perhaps thinks he ought to receive.
The truth Is that no sign Of any kind
is needed upon his breast, once he
makes another the victim of his some
what 1opsided sense of fun.
Not twice in the same place"
breatheS The victim, 10 himself. "0nce,
maybe. but not twice"
Accordingly, he begins to cut down
on his conversational relations with the
other.
He sees to it thereafter that such
topics as are discussed between them
have healthy reserve Of impersonality.
Anything that savors in the slightest
degree of my" and thine" Is ruled
out. so that the other must work hard
to bring the talk around to personalities
again.
That he so works goes without say
ing, but mostly his bag is nil. because
his game has flown, and he will seldom
see it again, at least not the old way.

crime Of tho same character, with
greater likelihood Of conviction.
At st. Paul the collapse Of the Gov
ernment's case, which led to and justi-
fed the verdict Of acquittal, was due to
the retraction upon cross-examination
of the Identification Of the accused by
the victim Of the Kidnapping. He had
given positive assurances that he could
identify the gang ans In his direct ex-
animation he had doIle 90. Upon exam
nation by the counsel for the defense
he retracted his testimony to that effect,
and that wrecked the case for the Goy-
ernment. The belief that he was intiIni-
dated Immediately arises. Therein lies
one Of the chief obstacles to the sue
cessful prosecution of such charges. In
the Urschen case in Oklahoma the kid
naped man steadfastly held to his ;den-
tifcation throughout the trial and con-
viction followed. 1t Is hoped that in the
trial at Chicago. the case of the kidnap-
ing Of the son Of Factor, an underworld

be no such collapse Of evidence as that
which has just occurred at st. Paul.
The kidnaper relies upon terrorism
from the outset Of his enterprise. He
bases his demand for ransom upon the
threat Of death for the victim. He
menaces the family Of the hostage
with reprisals If the police are sum-
moned, If the redemption money is
marked, if any attempt is made to trace
the crime. to its source His game is
that Of murderous blackmail. and he
has succeeded In playing 1t with a
large degree Of immunity. Now as
result Of shrewder and more effective
measures Of detection and pursuit the
man stealers are being caught. Some
of them have been convicted and are in
prison for life. The San Jose lynching
was not needed to the end Of punish
ment, nor Is the st. Paul failure Of
justice warrant for any further resort
to mob law in reprisal upon the man
stealers, the most dangerous and des-
picable Of criminals.

THIS AND THAT.
BY CHARLES Z. TRAcEwELL. Bs

Some men ought to wear placards OF
legend:
Beware what you say to me, because
I probably Will use It against you
preferably In public"
II there were enough room on thf,
magic sign, there might be added these
pertinent words:
II will do 1t all. however, in the best
OF good humor, SO you may have nc
legitimate comeback"

Few persons who merited this dis.
tinction would be willing to admit the
justice of the award.
Mostly thev seem sublimely uncon-
scious of their fault, as surely their VIC
Tins will label it.
They 60 right ahead, treasuring ur
anything that one foolishly tells them
of a personal nature.
Foolish, indeed, Is he who confides
In such q wight, for the day Of his
judgment is shortly at hand.
Here Is his old friend Sam, o very
decent chap undoubtedly, but one who,
unfortunately. has this simple little
failing.
Let us see how 1t works out
The victim has never in his life made
any claim to be gardener.
All the gardening at his home Is done
by others, and he is the first to admit
1t and to give them full credit for the
results achieved.
Old Sam happens to praise some
roses.
Don't give me the credit" says our
victim, in a moment of candor.
Then he goes on to. explain Just who
deserves full praise, and why.
Outwardly old Sam says nothing at
all, but inwardly he must be rejoicing,
for several days later he chances to
meet the victim in the company Of
others.
80 here's the man who pretends to
be such q great rose grower" he shouts.
The victim. never having pretended
anything of the kind, naturally enough
is taken aback.
Confusion shows on his face. Hsh

Sam points gleefully.
Here's the great rose grower!" he
yells.
The other starts to protest. but is
screamed down by our jovial fellow.
who goes right on to give the horrible
details.
Every word he uses, of course, has
been furnished him by the victim at
the previous meeting, but Sam presents
it to the world as if all of it were his
own private discovery, made as the re-
suit Of q certain astuteness on his own
part.
Sam manages to give his hearers the
impression that the victim is. above
everything else, anxious to keep 1t all
dark secret.
The fact that the man would just as
leave tell all and sundry what he told
Sam, in the first place, carries no weight
with this lnformer,
Somehow he, Sam, the wise one, has
managed to worm this great secret out
of the victim. and now he. Sam. the
veal the criminal in all his despicable
poses.
This man pretending to be a ros-
arian, forsooth! Sam fairly writhe5 in
agony at the caring Of the culprit, who
attempted to put this thing over on an
unsuspecting world of thoroughly hon.
est men.
This Is but q sample, and very
small one, Of old Sam in action-in full

Germany gave an impressive illustra-

by issuing an extravaganza of currency
which eventually proved worse than
counterfeit money.

Popular belief in the SOundneSS OF a
