' A DREAM O F PFACE TOPICS OV TUB TIMES. In a lino of battle extending over 175 mllea It must bo somewhat difficult- for an nrmy's right wing to know whether the left wing Is still' flapping. As u rule the man who talks as If ho know how n war should bo con-1 duetod couldn't be dragged within! ten miles of a firing lino. ' Too many monuments nro erected I for military heroes and too few for! tho heroes of peace. ' It Is well to remember that mak-l Ing tho best of things Includes the. host of oneself. o I PHESIDEXT SPItOULK'S l-'IOUHES. PRESIDENT SPKOULE'S recent I statement reiatlvo to the effect of tho Panama Canal on tho, business of tho Southern Pacific,' while, of course, presented from tho standpoint of thnt corporation, will I attract n good deal of attention for tho reason that wo cannot escape tho j loglcof the conclusions drawn by the railway official. Tho Southorn Pacific has lost 17 1 percent of Its business by reason of, tho water shipments via tho cnnnl. . Hut, says President Sproulo, whon-i over tho company earns a dollnr for). carrying' freight, It pnys out -11.05 cents to labor; S.Gfi cents go for oil or othor fuel; for material and sup plies there Iri expended 1-1. IG cents; Iohboh nnd dnmnges ont up 2.20 1 cents: louses of railways cost 3.91! cents. Taxes call for 1.1 1 conts and for Improvements and spout 1.57 conts. Now that glvos n totnl of 1(5 conts which tho railroad pays out and which malum up a very con nldorablu ltoul In tho cIiihiiioIh of business. ( Seventeen per cent loss In tho business of the railroad, nays Presi dent Sproulo. Applying that percen tage to tin) dollnr of IiuhIiiohb, tho company losen .S5 of a cout, nnd a Iobs of 10.15 cents must bo appor tioned to labor, to those who supply oil,, supplies, etc. Of courso, tho cnnnl Is going to dovolop much business nnd Indirect ly tho railways will profit from tho Increase, but, of, courso, too, If the railways nro losing 17 per cont of tliolr shipments that loss Is going to grow as wator carrying Is perfected for tho transaction of business. That Is a matter then serious for both tho railways and tho public. It is n now condition and. President Sproulo has given tho public something to think about. til fl' nn JA Out of the Dark Caverns of Tradition, Wisdom Leads the Warriors to a View of Peace; the shrouded Fiqure of Death, With His Scythe, the War Eagle on His Shoulder Tumincj Away; the Peaceful Ploughman, the Mother and Child.
