The Railroads and Their Panic.
The thirteen leading railroad
coinpauiea of this country show
ed a gain of $51,000,000 in pass
enger and freight revenues for
the last six months of 1007 bver
the same period of 1006. During
the panic months of October,
November and December the
freight revenues of these systems
were $250 000,000 a decrease of
only $5,000,000 from the previous
quarter, while the income during,
November was larger than that
of either July or September.
These facts, made public bv
the interstate commerce com
mission, are filled with moaning
for every thoughtful citizen.
These railroads whose net income
from operation in 1007 was $14,-
000,000 more than in 100(5, de
spite largo increases in wageB,
are the same ones whose mana
gers all the while were shrieking
calamity, disaster, dividend-cut
ting, panic and bankruptcy un
less Roosevelt and all rate laws
were abolished.
It was these men whose works
and words did much to bring
about iudustrial and commercial
distress in this country. And
now that they have done their
worst, the simple fact is disclos
ed by the books of their own com
panies that the prosp.’rity of the
nation is so great and so iirmly
founded that the blow they gave
business over the heart never
really checked its flow through
the great arteries.
Undoubtedly the next report
of quarterly earnings is likely ti
show a decrease. But the aston
ishing statistics of increase we
have quoted guarantee that the
decreaso will not signify any ma
terial impairment of railroad or
general prosperity.
The pauiemakers are proved to
have been falsifl -rs. Their mo
tives were mixed. But we are
inclined to credit them with a
portion of sincerity. We believe
that they really saw disaster in
their inability to unload upon
the country more flotations of
bonds and stocks.
They had devised a practice of
making millions in a day out of
nothing bv their method of syn
dicate underwriting. When for
no consideration they pocketed
$5,000,000 out of a $60,000,000
iisue of securities it seemed to
them neat and clean and thor
oughly legitimate money-mak-
>*iK-
It, seemed to them impossible
that any agency was strong
enough to interrupt their profit
able scheme. And when the
country, gorged with their issues
and awakened to their practices
by the Roosevelt policies, cried
out “Enough!” tho crippling of
their Wall street methods was
synonymous to them with disas
ter to the commerce of the entire
country.
This report, merely emphasizes
our oft-repeated contention that
t,he recent panic was an unjusti-
lied and inexcusable Wall street
creation. — Philadelphia North

The parents were eating their
first meal with their son after his
return from college.
“Tell us, John,” said the fath-
, “what havo you learned at
college?”
Oh, lots of things,” said the
son, as he iccited his course of
studies. “Then,” he concluded,
“I also studied logic.”
'Logiol” said the old inan.
“What is that?”
“It’s the art of reasoning,”
said the son.
'The art of reasoning?” said
the father. “What is that, my
boy?”
“Well,” replied the son, “let
me give vou a demonstration.
How many chickens are on that
dish, father?”
“Two,” said the old man.
“Well,” said John, “I can
prove that there are three.”
Then he stuck his fork in one
and said, “That is one isn’t it?”
“Yes,” said the father.
“And this is two?” sticking the
fork in the second.
‘Yes,” replied The father
again.
“Well, don’t one and two make
three?” replied John, triumph
antly,
"Well, 1 declare,” said the
father, “you have learned some
thing at college. Well, mother,”
continued the old man to his
wife, “I will give you one of the
chickens to eat, and I’ll take the
other, and John can have the
third. How is that John?”
