SAFETY AND COMFORT OF PASSENGERS FIRST Consideration of B. & O. Management as Set Forth in a Circular. The safety and comfort of passengers is the first consideration of the management as a circular issued to the conductors and other train employees concerned with passenger service by Mr. Davis, vice president of operation and maintenance. Mr. Davis states that while the purchase of new and attractive equipment has added to the convenience both with respect to retaining patronage and securing new business depends largely upon the employees who come in contact with the public. They are urged to be considerate, courteous and obliging at all times. Special care will be exercised in handling elderly, crippled and inexperted persons and according them with assistance as will make their environment comfortable. Train employees are invited to enumerate the names of persons clearly and to advise passengers about the time of arrival at destination, change of trains, transfer of luggage and other matters of interest. The railroad also desires that its personnel shall know the cause of deeds employees are reminded of the ways in effect for several years of good passengers know the cause of delays and the approximate time of arrival in order that those having business or social appointments may communicate the necessary information or instructions. EASTON, Md., Dec. 5—Mrs. Rose Virginia Marshall, charged with imposition, her stepdaughter, Grace Marshall, was acquitted today by the jury, which declared she was not guilty of the charge preferred against her. The taking of testimony closed yesterday afternoon. Arguments were made yesterday by evening by State's Attorney Butler for the prosecution and Mr. Shehan for the defense. . . . After the defense had rested yesterday morning, the state placed several medical experts on the stand to show in rebuttal that the testimony of all of the defense witnesses as to the account of food that Grace Marshall had received was a physical impossibility. Under a former ruling of the court, medical experts were not allowed to testify as to her condition present as compared with her condition when found. Do bedside on in answer to a hypothetical question, testified that if Grace Marshall had received one meal before it would have been impossible to determine have been in the condition he would be found her. He testified that her condition was due absolutely to lack of food and that she was in an extreme state of starvation at last time. The testimony of other experts called by the state was ruled out by the court. Members of the Marshall family testified to the treatment that Grace received and all said she always had plenty of food. Many Permits Granted. The following were granted per- mites: W. W.

SATURDAY, DEC. 16, 1916 For forty years our contention has been for a clean moral, intelligent and religious ministry. To see and believe we have it in the persons of Messrs. Norwood, Martyn and Reid gives us great pleasure. They are all trained college men and preach a practicable gospel. They are not only for union, but in union, and trying to get their parishers to be so too. Rev. Mr. Martyn has taken the initiative in declaring God wants intelligent worship and has inaugurated a plan to collect the money by means other than parading up and down the aisles to give it. Rev. Mr. Norwood has for fourteen years been secretary of the Washington Conference and the minutes he has gotten out shows forcefully his mental power. Rev. Mr. Reid is a young man fresh from college and is the product of an excellent family. Martinsburg is to be congratulated in having such men. Trust in God and do your duty, for the harvest is ripe here and the reapers are few. Recently we met one of our many pupils we taught forty years ago here in Martinsburg. He is in business and doing well. Grateful of course is he for the pains we took with him, but said he, "Mr. Clifford I thank you with all my heart for combing my head and washing my face." He is not the only one, for I am confident I combed 200 or more heads and washed as many faces and hands to make them clean and instill the duty within themselves, during the ten years and three months I taught here. I half-soled scores of tot's shoes, and clothed as many scores, and wherever they are found, if they had a spark of pride in them in the outstart, they are respectable citizens and are doing well. In addition to our work as principal of this school we made a relentless warfare against the low grade of teachers (?) in Berkeley County and never let up till every one was put out and update ones put in. Having, in the early 70s, taught the Keyser school coercively our sincere wish was to teach it ag on persuasive plans, and did so in 1898. Bargaining to teach said school, I was informed by the board of education that Blanch Fiddler was an incorrigible pupil; that she would cause trouble and had worried other teachers, and that soon as she began her didoes to suspend her and they would expell her. Sure enough, the second day Miss Blanch began. Noon recess we talked the matter over, without a promise of better behavior. Never treated a child kinder and never found one so set in her ways. So one day, I took my grip to school, and a few minutes before noon, I gave the pupils a short talk, ending of which, I bade them good bye, and gave my reason for leaving, Blanche's conduct. I fully realized she was hurt. Sitting in the station waiting for the train, in came Blanch and a little Washington girl. Blanch began to cry and beg me not to leave and faithfully promised to be good. Of course I returned, and never had any more trouble with Blanch. "Must be baptized in running water." No harm in it: no good in it. If I wanted to accomplish anything, good or bad, and I saw a crowd of people engaged in either, it would be policy on my part to join in with them. Jesus did it on several occasions, and doubtless that was the reason he was baptized by John in the river Jordan. There is no more virtue in baptism than there was in circumcision, and Christ said there was more in it. To be baptized only means an outward sign of an inward cleanness. It's all right to be baptized, but it's not essential to any one's salvation. Better a thousand times, stop lying, tussing, backbiting, lascivity and your conscious hypocrisy. Do your duty to God and man, and you can't do either unless you first do it to yourself and the "pearly gates" will open to you, though you have not had a drop of water on you. The idea of an ignorant man compelling an intelligent one to go to running water in bleak weather to baptize him. All such persons need to be baptized and that rigidly with soap and water than they do to be plunged under running water. Hon. M. P. Shawkey, State Superintendent of Free Schools has suggested some splendid plans for the betterment of the schools of this State, and every one should be enacted into law. He wants the best of schools, free books, capable, honest and ergetic teachers pensioned when retired and many more essentials. Genuine character and ability thoroughly tested to do the best work in the schoolroom is the ambition of Mr. Shawkey. If Mr. Shawkey has his way the profession will be dignified. His plans will not cripple the children, for none but normally prepared teachers will be allowed to teach, and the best shall deal with and start the infants. That is as essential as that fine buildings should have the best foundations. Injure, or deform the mentality of a child, and it's career will be on crutches and the best of teachers can't get it off of them the rest of its life. The only way to make a child God-like is to start it right. Money so spent is a perpetual capital in this and the life to come at compound interest. Rest assured that our teaching here is earth's alphabet with which to study and learn the beauties and duties of the life eternal. So God grant that our noble State Superintendent's labors and accomplishments may make him the central figure of eternal admiration by West Virginia's children "in the sweet fields of Eden." Out of 330,179 school children examined in the city of New York in 1914, 194,207, or 58.8 per cent, suffered from defective teeth. This exceeded the sum total of all the other defects noted by nearly 80,000. Defective teeth impair general health and impede school progress. Disorders of the digestive tract, tuberculosis and various other diseases frequently are preceded by diseased conditions in the mouth. There is a direct relationship between dental development and mental development, and it is absolutely essential to good work in schools that children's teeth be maintained in a healthy condition. The Public Healt : Service recommends that a good tooth brush be included in the list of Christmas presents for every American child and that its use be made a part of the daily training. If this recommendation is carried out the United States will have more healthy children this year than it and their chances of growing up into useful, healthy men and women will be increased.

BRYAN AGAINST OWNERSHIP BY THE GOVERNMENT Gives Newlands Committee His Views on Railroad Control. COMPETITION PREFERABLE. Federal Regulation Should Not Be Allowed to Exclude Exercise of State Authority. He Contends—Thinks Railroad Stocks Should Represent Actual Value and Be Stable as Government Bonds. * Washington, Dec. 11. — William J. Bryan, who started the country ten years ago by advocating government ownership of railroads, appeared before the New York Joint Committee on "the American last week in support of the claim that the states should be allowed to retain authority over the regulation of all transportation lines within their borders." Mr. Bryan explained that he had long regarded government ownership as inevitable, but only because of railroad opposition to legislative regulation. Against Government Ownership. Personally I cannot say that I desire government ownership," he explained. "The reason I lean to the individual is that neither wants to, the collective effort, that is. I believe that government ownership is desirable only when it is impossible." Individual will be counsel to the Railway Executive's Advisory Committee, which had presented before the members of the Newlands Committee is one of the parties foruring a better balanced and more systematic regulation of railroads the argument that this is the only alternative to government ownership. Calling attention to the necessities imposed upon the transportation, thus by conflicting state laws and regulations, to the practical tessation of new construction and to the impossibility under existing conditions of securing the new capital needed for extensions and betterments of railway facilities, he warned the Congressmen that unless they provided a fair and reasonable system of regulation that would enable the railroads to meet the growing needs of the country's business the national government would be compelled to take over the ownership of the lines with all the evils attendant upon such a system. Preservation of Competition Mr. Bryan on the other hand, holds that the further extension of federal authority over the railroads would be a step in the direction of government ownership. He advanced the view that the centralization of control in the hands of the national government would impose too great a burden upon the regulating body, would offer strong temptation to railroads to interfere in politics that would encourage the general movement toward centralization of power in the federal government at the expense of the states. He said that he did not object to consolidations of railroad lines so long as they did not destroy competition, that he knew of no complaint against great railway systems because of their size and that he believed that the preservation of competition was the test to be applied to all consolidations. Regulation of Securities: Mr. Bison declared himself in favor of national regulation of railway stock and bond issues, but added that he saw no reason why that should exclude the states from acting on the same subject as to state corporations. "I would like to see the stock of a railroad, as long as it is in private bonds, made as substantial and as unvarying as the value of a government bond." he asserted. He suggested that railroad capitalization be readjusted to equalize it with actual valuation of the property represented, making due allowance for equities, and that when this was done the roads should be allowed to earn sufficient income to keep their stock at par and to create a surplus. The latter, he tentatively proposed, might be allowed to expend to 25 per cent of the capital. Railway Earnings Low This subject of retired capitalization and the amount of willful and nonexcessive received contributions from the committee during the recent sessions. In answer to questions by Senator Cummings, Mr. Cummons submitted figures showing the net currencies of the bonds in recent years. These figures show that during the two years from 1907 to 1910 the total amount of bonds were 5.25 per cent of the net capitalization while for the five years from 1910 to 1915 the average was only 4.56 per cent. The total earnings on the stock computed by adding to the net operating income the income from the securities owned and debiting fund interest, were for 1910, 7.99 per cent; for 1911, 6.17 per cent; for 1912, 4.97 per cent; for 1913, 5.94 per cent; for 1914, 4.96 per cent; for 1915, 3.44 per cent, thus showing an almost continuous decrease throughout this six year period. It was announced that Halford Friedman, totally chairman of the Wisconsin Railroad Commission, would submit more complete information on this subject to the Committee at a later date.

"They tell me there was some trouble at that lecture on whiskey given by the prohibitionists last night," said Jones. "Yes," replied Smith. "It seems that the speaker was full of his subject and that the audience drank in his words." FOR THE SOUTH IS "DRY." Mr. Bryan says the Democrats will not permit their party to "be buried in a drunkard's grave." However, we can see where he is going to have trouble making the (stolid) South take the pledge.

LONG HOURS A RABITY. Only Once In Five Years Does Average Trainman Exceed Legal Limit. That long hours in train service have been reduced to a minimum is shown by a report issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Only one employee in five on the average last year was compelled to remain on duty more than sixteen hours during any one day in the whole year. Stated in another way, the chance of an engineer or minimum remaining on duty beyond this prescribed limit was reduced to once in five years. The total number of cases of excess service from all causes reported to the commission was only 61,247 during the year ending June 30, 1915, as compared with 137,330 in 1914 and 270,327 in 1913, and with rare exceptions these represented cases recognized as due to unavoidable causes.

Washington, Dec. 4.—That the inter- ests of national defense require that control of railway lines should rest with the federal government and not with the states was the claim ad- dicated to the railway Executives Advisory Committee, in concluding his pre- mium statement of the case for the railways before the Newlands Joint Committee on Interstate Commerce. "We must be efficient as a nation if we are to deal successfully with our national emergencies," said Mr. Thom, "and we must appreciate that efficient transportation is an essential condition of national efficiency. If we are to hast and weaken our transportation system by state lines, by the permanent imposition of burdens by unwise regulation, we will make national efficiency impossible." States' Rights Would Not Suffer. Mr. Thom cited many instances in which shippers in one state were injuriously affected by selfish regulations imposed on the railroads by neighboring states. He pointed out that federal regulation would be no invasion of the rights of the states but would be the means of preserving the rights which they required when they entered the Union, one of which was the right to the free movement of their products across state boundaries. What the Railroads Advocate. The principles which the railroads believe should be incorporated in any just system of regulation were summarized by Mr. Thom as follows: 1. The entire power and duty of regulation should be in the hands of the national government, except as to matters so essentially local and incidental that they cannot be used to interfere with the cell loyalty of the service or the just rights of the carriers. 2. As one of the means of accomplishing this, a system of compulsory local incorporation should be adopted into which should be brought all national corporations engaged in interstate commerce. of the Interstate Commerce Commission which under existing laws has too much to do and is charged with conflicting the laws including the investigation, or guidance and decision of cases. The laws states should be placed in the court and a new body which might be called the Federal Inland Coast Commission. National Commissions should be established in different parts of the country to assist the Interstate Commerce Commission by handling local issues. 4. The power of the Commission should be extended to enable it to preside minimum rates and not merely maximum rates as at present. This would be their power to prevent trust discriminations. It should be under the duty of the interstate Commerce Commission, in connection of its powers to fix regulations, rules to so abolish those rules that give birth to the just airspace to the public in the airfields. To this end the Commission in determining rates, should consider the necessity of maintaining direct transportation and extensions of airfields, the relation of companies to rates and the rights of carriers, stockholders and creditors of the firms. At the interstate Commerce Commission should be served with the power of the courts to carry out suits. 7. The law should government should increase the power to supervise the business activities and bonds by railroad carriers engaged in interstate and foreign commerce. 8. The law should recognize the essential difference between things which restrain trade in the case of ordinary mercantile concerns and those which restrain trade in the case of common carriers. The question of competition is not the only fair criterion. 9. The law should expressly provide for the meeting and agreement of traffic or other officers of railroads in respect of rates or practices. This should, however, be safeguarded by requiring the agreements to be filed with the Interstate Commerce Comm- It answers every smoke desire you or any other man ever had!

"My legal proposition," Mr. Thom said, "is that the Constitution as it now is gives full authority to Congress to regulate the in "interstate commerce in all their parts. If the power of regulation is to reach the public realm it must be extensive with the instrumentalities of commerce." Mr. Thom explained that the people are not as the earlier of the Constitution or of Congress any interest in revenues, but that they are merely asking the perfection of a system which will be responsible to any need that may arise. GOVERNMENT SCHOOL If a set of conditions have arisen which oblige the government to regulate rates, then it is equally obliged, on the basis of economic analysis, to regulate wages accordingly. Having taken one step, it must take the other. The logic of events is forcing this dilemma on the government. It is the public which sooner or later must pay for the increased expenses of transportation—Professor J. Lawrence Laughlin, University of Chicago. Are You a Woman?

GOOD ROADS and HOW TO GET THI Of course this is only part of the road construction and development of everything said here is a result of in connection with other problems. What is the best road? is a toolish question on the face of it. The way the question should be put is this: What kind of road will give us the most service for our money? It is possible to pay too much as well as to pay too little for a road, although the latter is the fault, into which most communities fall. There are good roads of several types, and that roads of almost every imaginable type. Asphalt, brick and concrete are the A, B, C of roads. Brick at once differentiates itself from the other two by reason of the fact that it is a pavement composed of small units, while asphalt is a monolithic or one piece pavement. Asphalt and concrete are most clearly distinguished one from the other by the fact that asphalt is malleable and plastic, while concrete is hard and brittle. Tried-out Merit. In one community a certain form of construction will be very popular. In FOUR-YEAR The above complication shows the senate has 20 Republicans and 10 Democrats while the house has 52 Democrats and 42 Republicans—each party having a majority of 10 in either house, making the body a tie on joint ballot. another community the same form of construction would not be tolerated. Local prejudice, cheapness and other considerations only incidentally connected with the real merit of a type of road determine these variations. Throughout the country, however, but more particularly in the states whose road building along advanced times has been going on for many years, asphaltic road construction is found to an ever-increasing extent. This represents experience and the tried-out merit of bituminous construction rather than local prejudice. Neither Most Costly Nor Cheapest. Where systematic road building has been going on for twelve or fifteen years, every form of construction has been tried, and a conclusion, even as to which form gives the most road service for the money expended. In such communities we find not only the most expensive nor the cheapest roads. We find asphaltic concrete on heavy traffic roads and asphalt nue AR-OLD ASPHALT MACADAM ROAD MILLIONS OF GERMS DIE NEW YORK. Dec. 9.—Today is Sunshine Saturday in "Open Window Week" in this city.
