Working the Conductor.
(From the Yonkers Statesman.)
‘How old is that child?” asked the con-
■ductor.
“Just five years,” replied the woman
who had offered half fare for the child.
“He looks considerably more than that.”
-"I know it; but he’s from Philadelphia,
end :they‘re so slow over there it takes a
child a long time to grow up.”

Washington, D. C.—Plants, seeds and
cuttings may go through the mails at four-
th class rates in packages weighing more
than eight ounces, but by the terms of a
bill which passed the Senate Monday and
now goes to the House, a rate of one cent
for two ounces was provided for packages
of eight ounces and less.
Wheeling, W- Va., —Frank Earlwine
and John Stackhouse, 15-year-old boys,
were blown to pieces at Proctor, twenty
miles from here, Monday. They found a
can of nitro-glycerine on the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad track and exploded it. A
section of the track was torn up and a
fast passenger train was flagged just in
time to avert a wreck.

"fHE financing of a railroad is a function which the people,
LIL through their servants, the Railroad Commissioners and the
Legislators, have never attempted, but it is a most im-
portant problem, especially to sections of a State where new rail-
roads are needed. The placing of securities has been left entirely with
the promoter and owner of railroads.
The immediate determination of what earnings the railroads
shall be permitted to receive and what burdens it shall have put on
it is in the hands of the other servants of the public—the Legisla-
tors and the Commissioners.
“Managing a railroad is quite different from managing a gov-
ernment where the money is raised by taxation. When the expendi-
tures, for good reasons or otherwise, increase, taxes can be equally
increasd. The railroads, while servants of the public, cannot raise
money with such ease and facility. The railroads must keep their ex-
penditures within their incomes because while they have some con-
trol over their expenditures they have almost no control over their
incomes, their rates being fixed by public authorities.
There is not a railway manager in the country today who is
not fearful that under the press of increasing demands the trans-
portation systems of the country will, in a few years, break down,
unless the railroads are allowed to earn larger funds wherewith to
build it up. There are vast sections of the country, especially in the
West, where more railroads are needed and they cannot be built im.
less the railways raise new capital.
“People invest money in order to make money, and they are skep-
tical as to whether they can make money by investing in concerns
that are dealt with stringently and unfairly. Railroad securities must
be made more attractive to invite investments, and in order that they
may be made more attractive, the roads must be allowed earnings that
will enable them to meet the increased capital charges.”
Spring House Cleaning Time brings to mind new Floor Cov-
erings—then this timely sale of Mattings and Matting Rugs
should prove most interesting to many. Mattings are clean,
cool and inviting in appearance most sanitary and are easily
cleaned. Oh account of Rebuilding Operations and needing
the room, we quote prices that will move them out quickly.
These prices will prevail for a few days only—so we advise
an early selection.

The Automobile Bug—I did 65 miles an
hour in my machine today. I guess that’s
going some.
The Wireless Bug—Going? Why, that’s

French naval officers have indicated that
the waves in wireless telegraphy travel at
a rate of nearly 200,000 miles a second.
