HUMILITY IN PRAYER
sThy wordis aIamp unite my feet, aiehl unto my p.ib

Luke 1914. And he spake this
parable unto certain which trusted in
themselves that they were righteous
and despised others: Two men went
up into the temp to pray; the one
Pharisee, and the other a publican.
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus
with himself, God, thank thee, that
I am not as other men are, extortion-
ers, unjust, adulterers, or even as
this publican. 1 fast twice in the
week, I give tithes of all that
possess. And the publican, standing
afar off, would not lift up so much
as his eyes unto heaven, but smote
upon his breast, saying, God be merc-
full to me a sinner. I tell you this
man went down to his house justified
rather than the other: for every one
that exalted himself shall be abas-
ed; and he that humbleth himself
shall be exalted.
When force prevails, right perishes.

This was absolutely unWarranted.
Now railroad arrangements say that
because of huge losses in revenues,
workers must take Is per cent cut.
The seniority rule prevails in the
railroad unions as in most other
unions For ten years the carriers
have been forced to lay off workers
as other transportation methods took
away their business. For this reason.
the majority vote has fallen into the
hands of the older employees.
The latter, apparently sure of their
Job, seem more interested in the a.
mount of money in their pay envelope
than in the number of men at work
or in the total payroll. The net result
is that railroad wages are today the
highest on record and the number of
workers the lowest in forty years.
Now, my guess is that the rail unions
will compromise. AS part of this COM
promise, employees will take a wage
reduction of between 5 and IL per
cent. Based on current payrolls, this
should save the industry above 500 :
100000 annually.
Misunderstanding" Bad Business.
In addition to the pay slash, the So
called Misunderstanding feature may
be kicked out The latter means CIV
ing employees pay for hours they do
not work. Union rules say that cover
ing 100 miles is equivalent to a days
work. These rules have existed for
years. Today, fast trains run 400 miles
in few hours, but their crews are
paid for four days work In addition
to, or as an alternative to, the wage
cut, there is a good chance that this
stacking of the payroll will go out
this Fall. Another estimated $780,
100000 could thus stay in railroad
treasures.
The final 'helping hand" is the re-
cession itself. BY that I mean that the
railroads in the last twelve months
have, learned how far they can stretch
their dollars. Commodity prices are
way below a year ago. In material
buying alone the roads are probably
saving at the rate of $3O,OOO,OOO an
nually compared with 1887. Moreover,
thousands of employees have been
discharged. In spite Of higher wage
rates. the payroll is $25,OOO,OOO below
last years level In. addition, there
have been hundfedsA of small econo-
mics which collectively amount to a
big sum.
Savings Almost Half Billion.
Here is a table summarizing the
potential yearly savings mentioned

Babson Talks OF Outlook

Knoxville, Tenn, Dec. 13.-In an adj
dress before the Knoxville Rotary
club today, Roger w. Babson, nation
aly-known statistician, discussed the
business outlook for ten years ahead.
HI said, in part:
Ny question today is not whether
business will be good or bad in 1889.
I believe that most business analysts
are convinced that 1889, on the aver
age will be a year of activity-with
higher prices for commodities, real
estate and securities. At the year-end
the press of this country will carry
my definite forecast of wage, Job,
trade and living cost trends for 1899.
At home, our industrial and finan-
cial communities are distinctly en-
outraged by the results of last months
elctions They represent an apparent
turn to the right. The swing means no
new radical legislation in the next
TWO years. Remember, however, that
President Roosevelt still holds the
veto power to block any strong con-
sentative program. "Third-term" pos
sibilities may have been killed, altho

1887 spent more to produce it than
he could get for his lint on the open

The Crop Reporting Service fig

olina last year. if there was no land
rental to be considered. 1t rental COSTS
are added, the average cost OF rals-
ing cotton in North Carolina reached

On this average acre the farmer
