N the testimony of F. J. Warne, statistician for the trainmen and | conductors of Eastern railways, in the hearings before the Arbi- tration Board, there was presented a problem of 16 to 121 more interesting than the older issue of 16 to 1. In order to prove that the trainmen are not dealing with fifty-seven different roads but with « single gigantic system, Dr. Warne submitted @ table of inteflocking directorates showing that 16 men hold 121 separate directorships on boards that control nine large railway eystems with all their subsidiary compan Elisha Lee, Chairman of the Conference Committee of Managers, asked if Dr. Warne asserted that these men “control” the roads. “Give me the minutes of the board meetings and I will prove it,” he an- ewered. Thereupon Mr. Lee enid: “I fail to see what this means. It might mean anything or nothing.” These directors are among the most powerful financiers of the day, but does all this elaborate interlocking system exist for eny other purpose than private manipulation and private profite? If these directors pretend to direct, just what measure of personal responsi- bility are they willing to assume? And how much ere their nemes worth to the stockholders and the public? Many of these interlocked directors are members of the New Haven board. Under the benefits of their gigantic business talents and inexhaustible financial wisdom, New Haven stock recently reached a new low level of 85%. a ny bd (City men reared tn the country, who remember dsfly battles with ‘bumble bees, wasps, yellow Jackets and hornets and feces sometimes swollen almost beyond recognition, will read with peculiar feelings the news of Lady Molesworth dying in twenty minutes after a wasp sting.

HE Beef Barons in session st Chicago solemnly resolved that | unless the people are to go without meat and, incidentally, the packers have little business, “it ie the duty of every small farmer to raise et least two beef steers « year to offset the decreased production of the Western ranches.” It was the Beef Barons themselves who by low prices made it unprofitable for small farmere to-raise beef stears. Then, having killed that eource of supply, they discouragéd Western ranchers in the same manner. Beef on the hoof wag always cheap. Beef in cold storage and in cans wes always high. The appeal of the Beef Barons to the small farmer whom they put out of business long ago is probably the most striking exhibition of cold cheek that any American trust has yet made. tp ————___—— ‘There are high protectionists who would rather see prosperity come to an end and industry languish than admit that the country was Justified in demanding lower tariff schedules. ——s SLAVERY IN THE PHILIPPINES. HAT Secretary of War Garrison has not read the report of T Dean C. Worcester, as Secretary of the Philippine Commis- sion, on slavery in the Philippines does not alter the fact that slavery exists in the islande, That Representative Jones of Virginia denounces Mr. Worcester as an imperialist and the “worst enemy of the Filipinos” does not affect the facts. Mr. Worcaster’s motives may be what any one is pleased to consider them; the facta remain, The statements made by Mr. Worcester are specific. His charges are confirmed by the supplementary report made by W. H. Phippe, the insular Auditcr, in response to a resolution of the United States Senate. That elavery has existed in the Philippines ever since American occupation is notorious. That the Supreme Court of the Philippines dismissed « case because there is no law making traffic in slaves a punishable crime is a matter of record. That the Philippine Aesembly ” geveral times has refused to paces such « law is undisputed. How long shall it be said that the United States, in spite of the Constitution, in spite of the organic act of the Philippines, counte- nances slavery under the flag in its insular possessions? —— . al ‘A tugboet was the first eraft to pass through the Gatun lock to Gatun Lake—a better augury than ff the honor had gone to a gunboat. ——————————— A PROFESSOR ON THE PEANUT ROUTE FORMER teacher in an academy near Chicago has solved the A triple problems of cost of living, professorial salaries and vacations by selling peanuts and popcorn, He has become a wagoner and a wanderer, without losing touch with thrift and banks.

This necessitated my stay! in at least fifteen minutes after the others had quit. That is why the other boy didn't like to do ft. All this time I was getting $3 a week, the other fellow getting 4. He would urge me to ask for a rails. My family also advised me to, but I could not make up my mind to do it. But the boss wae so nice and kind to me that I felt he would do the right thing by me when the proper time should come.

The obtaining of my first raise does not lead back to any incident in which TI Driliiantly distinguished myself. It reads somewhat less interesting. And still I think it might be of some value to others. When I resolved to increase my pay envelope things did not look promising and I asked my- self whether I had done all I could to make myself a highly useful and eMcient worker. I found there were opportunities which my eyes could not see before. By concentration and by eliminating those many little idlenesses that retard efficiency I became able to do better work and to do it more quickly. T had to ad- mit to myself that I worked now more intelligently, The result was a raise without my asking for it and & promise of advancement. CARL LINDENMANN, ® Lewis St., Union Course, L. I. A LUCKY LO88 GAVE HIM A START IN LIFE. My start was aa an office boy. One day my employer gave me some checks to deliver to a customer. As luck would have it, I lost them in the confusion of changing cars. Be- ing afraid to return and tell of my loss, I went to the customer and confessed that the checks had dis- appeared. He advised me to go to Pattern No. 8021—Surplice Blouse, $4 to 42 Bust. the car barn tn the hope that eome one might have found them. That! must have been “my day of days;” for the checks had been found. In the mean time my employer had been informed of the loss, but was un- to awalt my return and find out 4 become of the checks.
