W":: Mr. Samuel Untermyer assured the Economic Club at VOLUME 54.. Springfield, Masa., that higher rates are now the only hope for the railroads we wonder if this eminent adviser really spoke for the hest interests of the corporations he was defending. It is true the railroads have been great benefactor. true that they have been great despoilers. good it is time they had a reckoning. Nothing seems more likely to bring about an abrupt increase in the general cost of living than the proposed five per cent. addition to Taflroad rates. And how can we be so sure that it will benefit the failroads themselves? We had an increase of from twelve to twenty per cent. in fares on the New Haven system. The result was certainly not to the advantage of that corporation. If the proposed rate increase is granted, how do we know that the effect may not even be disastrous to the transportation business? It is almost certain, for example, to etart up local production in ways that will cut down the handling of products by the railroad. Western corn, meat and oats, which have done so much to kill farming in New England, will become too expensive. The New England farmer will turn back to his own oil to produce what he needs and what his neighborhood needs. A good thing, mayhe, but for whom? Cheap transportation has had the effect of killing agriculture im the East where the lands are just as good as they ever were.

He has retired from his job and let eome- body else step into it with his congratulations. ‘hero is not the dlightest reason to believe that he is not leading a temperate and cir- cumspect life—and on his own money, too. He has taken pains to eesnre the community that he knows his way about the world and that “there need be no worry over his travels.” But just because he doesn’t choose to tell the public all about it, thmt eame public is in a flutter, advertising for him, fixing up moving- Pictures about him end refusing to be eatisfied unless it knows where he is and why.

This was in 1796. The bridegroom, a year or two eartier, had been lHving of one meal a day, or less, and had worn or: his only pair of boots in @ vain search for work. He had tried his hand at writing and had failed miser ably. He knew he had military talent, but he could not convince any one He even tried in despair to sell his sword to the Sultan of Turkey. The bride had had a variegated career both before and after her first husband's death. Fickle, stupid, pleasure-loving, she followed the line of least resistance. At Jast she had drifted under the protection of Barras, unscrupulous President of the French “Convention.” And Barras soon be gan to tire of her. Meantime the penniless young officer had, by various deeds of strategic worth, attracted Barras's attention. Incidentally, meeting the widow at Barras's house, the youth had fallen crazily in love with her—a love that she Barras saw a way to free himself of a burden and to reward a friend. He told the widow that the young officer had a fine future and he dw promised to help along that future, He persuaded her to marry An Odd the officer, and by way of a wedding present he made thi Marriage. $ Pridexroom commander-in-cilet of the French army in Ita ® Tt was a queer wedding gift and ft promised little save as & matter of title, for France's army in Italy was an almost dizorganized rabble of starving, ragged men—Iinsubordinate, il-trained and with scant hopes of achieving any sort of success. Yet Barras had done far more than he dreamed. His ‘‘wedding present’ not only paved the way fore great and victorious war, but it wi to prove to all the world that a new and wonderful star had gisen above the foggy military horizon. The widow-bride was Josephine Reauharnais, The out-at-etbows bridegroom was @ Corsican named Nabuleone Buonuparte—better known to history as Na- poleon Bonaparte. Almost directly after his marriage Napoleon started for Italy to take charge of his down-at-heel army there. Josephine positively refused to accompany him, referring to stay in Paris, where she was carrying on some rather exciting flim tations and where, during the next fiw months, ahe varied her gay Nfe by yawn- ing over her absent bridegroom's madly ardent love letters. Napoleon found conditions in Italy even worse than he had expected. The generals of the army of Italy looke’ on him as an upstart. Tho soldiers were subordinate generals into Bne im Augereau, one of the bravest of them ail, voiced the feelings of the rest when he said to Massena on leaving the commander’s tent: “Curse the fefow!

A fow hard knocks and the hungry troops would soon be rolling in gold and stuffing themselves with food and wine. “Italy is your prey!” he declared. Eager for plunder, the troops who had lately been so despondent dashed inte the campaign. Battle after battle they won, Napoleon became thelr fdol. They obeyed him He trained dogs, these savage men who had been in habit of kiliing or deserting such officers as they disiiked.
