Vice flourishes with very Sittle emcouragement. RAILROADS AND BUSINESS. The demands for higher wages which are continually being made upon the railreads promise to furnish some interesting caiculations in the future. In view of the Interstate commerce commission act which prohibits . the raising of freight or passenger rates to meet increased demands for wages it becomes necessary for the railroads to secure the necessary additional operating expense from additional bus- iness or from the profit and loss ac- count. With the business conditions about the country at their best for a long time profits might be expected; to {ncrease more rapidiy than expenses but such was not the case during the past year, among the railroads of the country. The total receipts of the rail- roads of the east were $1511 per mile higher last year than for the year pre- vious, but operating income, or that which remains for new conatruction, dividends, interest and improvement, gained only $240. In the south the total receipts showed a gain of $492 per mile but the operating income suf- fered a loss of $109, while in the west the gain in operating income cf $226 offset the loss of a vear ago. If the closing six months of the year be alone considered the situation was not so unfavorable, but even for that period of increasing traffic the increase in ex- penses exceeded the increase in re- ceipts. A period of continued business ac- tivity is anticipated from which the railroads may hope for a better con- dition in the present year, but the tak- ing care of steadily increasing de- mands offers some problems to meet and may require the attention of the interstate commission. WAR OR PEACE. Germany offers an interestinz situa- tion by the failure of the proposed bond issue to succeed. The proposition was for the purpose of increasing the war footing of the country and the desired one hundred million was not half subscribed. In reference to this situation the New York World main- tains that “The failure of the issue is frankly ascribed to the government to increase the mili- tary establishment. The new war pol- icy will put 168,000 more men under arms; will erect costly fortifications toward Russia; will add $50,000,000 a4 vear to the regular war budget; will levy a forced contribution of $250,- 000,000 upon the well-to-do—a thing sane nations do not do except in dire necessity. “So closely are modern nations link- ed that the wicked folly of Germany makes the whole world suffer. Upon the financial side her waste is felt in New York and London and Am- sterdam. Her military challenge will be met by France increasing the term of service from two years to three, and by heavier taxation of tne Rus- slan peasant. Is there not in Ger- many, the home of culture and pro- sress, the courage, common sense and political conscience to end this course of provocatives before it ruins human- ity 2 Evidently Germany is pursuing a course which hardly meets with favor by those who have the say concern- ing finances. After its persistent prep- tion and position in behalf of war, it might be well to consider the value of making as determined an effort in behalf of in‘ernational peace. It would require wo such outlay and would mean a better feeling among the countries, and overcome the necessity of increasing the army and navy. EDITORIAL NOTES.

If she had been a human being one might have said that she was -suffering from the strain of eur com- plex civilization. Being only a cat it was sheer wickedness and ill-temper that lead her to raise one paw as Jobnny, the office boy, leaned over the desk on which she was stretched in the sun and viciously drag her claws down his wrist. 5 “Ouch!” Johnny yelled in amaze- ment and wrath. He aimed a return blow at the cat and knocked over an inkstand. The contents spilled on some freshly typed sheets stenographer had just laid down. Now, Miss Casey, the stenographer, was normally a calm and well bal- eanced young persom, but this morning she was hurrying in order to keep a very special luncheon engagement, and she had none too much time. At the tatastrophe of the spilled ink she stormed. She told Johnny exactly what she thought of him and his care- lessness and theme. “Aw, chase ' yourself!” growled, nursing hs wrist. “And I'll have you know.” Miss Cas- ey went on, “that I will not be ad- dressed in such tones or such language by any half grown, impudent boy like you! If you haven't the rudiments of politeness ‘n your system it's high time you learned! I've taken all I'm going to from you and from now on you will have to behave yourself!

Now I've got to do these sheets all over again!” Johnny Do them over Miss Casey did, siz- zling with_impatience and rage. Then, after slamming them on the junior partner’'s desk and immediately jam- ming on her hat and tearing out, she merely found that she had missed her luncheon engagement. When she re- turned to the office Johnny studied her face for a moment, then discreetly hid behind the flles. Biggs, the junior partner, picked up .

The Washington Affair. Mr. Editor: What a good thing in an educational way our latest national disgrace in Washington may prove! It will bring home to the sheltered and dependent women who suffered these indignities for the first time in their lives the constant brutish annoyances to which so many working women are in daily danger, even in the city of Norwich, and may be an eve opener to others who simply read about it. It is proof positive of the fallacy of the anti-suffragist argument that women are protected. They are flattered— some of them—and fools enough to take flattery for real chivalry. A real gentleman would never have done the things those men in Washington did. How few gentlemen there scem to be to ! Fortunately there are vet a few— mostly in the suffragist ranks. The others are Turks and savages at heart. Policemen and congressmen alike, they shout that the women should be at home. They would go back in civil- ization to the Oriental harem and to the degradation of mankind resulting therefrom. Not much. The women of this country are mot learning so much about the condition of their eastern sisters and money and missionaries so freely to succor all in vain, They are iearning what their own lives should be in a Christian country, and the real chivalry they should expect from a Christian man. They do not get it even here in a nominally Chri tian country—as events have proved. But if one strives long enough and earnestly enough for an ideal it final- becomes attainable. ble women have been striving for many vears. They are in line with the principles of Christianity and the laws of evol With these two great forces working for them, they ! eventually succeed. AN OLD SETTLER. Norwich, March 8, 1813 Ancther Solution. Editor: Another “attempted so- of the question propounded by Mr lution” Inquirer under date of K eb. 17. The question is this: “A certain article costs §1 wholesale. What will it have to be solg for to allow a prcfit of 10 - cent., after allowing 22 per cent. ost of doing business?” Now, it seems to me the question is not fully stated. He does not say 10 per ceni. of what nor 22 per cent, of what. But we will assume that he means 10 per cent. on the first cost of the article and 22 per cent. of the total receipts; that is, he wants to sell the article so as to have (after deducting the expenses of the business from his total receipts) $1.10 for every dollar he paid for the goods. Now the whole of anything is 100 per cent. of iteelf. Then if 22 per cent. of his receipts | must go for the expenses of the busi- ness, there will remain 78 per cent. But he wishes to have $1.10 remaining. Then $1.10 is 78 per cent. of the total receipts. If $1.10 is 78 per cent., then 1 per cent. will be found by dividing $1.10 by 78, and 100 per cent. of the whole, will be found by multiplying this quotient by 100, or which is the same thing. multiply $1.10 first by 100, which gives $110, and divide® the pro- duect by 7. In either case we obtain $1.41 as the selling price of the article, But it is not exactly $1.41, but a little more, as by continuing the division we have a repeating decimal, we cannot get it exact, but it will be a trifle over $-40ths of a mill more than $1.41, so that if the merchant sells at $1.41 he wil! fall short one cent on every $400 worth of goods of the 10 per cent. profit. But if, on the other Land, he wishes to make 10 per cent. profit not only on the first cost of the article, but on the cost of running his busi- ness as well, that is another thing. This can be solved much easier by algebra. We will let X equal the amount he must get for the article in order to cover the cost of $1 with the 10 per cent. profit on that dollar, also he expenses of the business and 10 per cent. of that. If x represents the selling price, then .22-100ths of x, or What is (he same thing, 11-50ths of x, will represent his expenses, and 10 per cent . that is 1-10th of those expenses, will be represented by 11-500ihs of x. Then we have the equation x equals $1.10 plus 11-50ths x pius 11-500ths x. Multiplylng beth sides of the equation Ly 500 to get rid of the fraction we have 500 x equals $6.50 plus $1.10 x plus M x. ‘Transpesing all terms contaiging unknown quantity to left side 0f the equatien and changing the signs we have 500 x plus 110 x plus i1 x equals $5.50. and reduciag x aquals $1.45. the price fer which he must sell in nrder to make 10 per cent. on all expenses.
