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. '

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.
