ABE TRAINMEN HUMAN BEINGS 1
The. management of tbe Chicago
surface linea, following the recent
strike, sent a letter to 12.000 em
ployees, including all trainmen. Saya
its half-page ad in ' tho Chicago
Tribune:
"The letter stated that wo were go
tug. to buy some advertising in the
newspapers' for' our -employees, and
would'ask them to pressnt to the pub
lic their own suggestions for the im
provement of the service. Here is the
first letter received in response tb
od rs. We believe lt containa a sug
tj?stlon which will appeal instantly
iff f*$*y one."
:.' And- here is what the employee
W.tote to tho management: "Your let
ter meeta with the bea' tr approval
at the trainmen itt your , employ, and
has already take' the desired effect.
If you will permit me to offer a BUR
gestion which may be beneficial to alt
concerned, I am sure the best resulta
car. be obtainers. -Ask . the people to
write ,of oby. courtesies extended by
conductors or motormen that nre
worthy of mantle^, . the same to bb
tt?ed aa a mark of credit to the aaid
trainmen. I assure you, you will be
pleased with the future service of the
trainmen, es there has been a marxed
improvement already."
Tho. management's comment on thu
lotter rrom the conductor Ia that "lt
goos tb the heart of the whole matter
of service in a very' direct way."
It ia right that complaints be made
by the public to Gie management ot
?ag which goes wrong. Com
os triers belong, In theory at
, to the people. The people hato
right to demand good'service, and
keep it goori it ls otten necessary
complain of lt when it ls bad.
But how about. praising it when it
satisfactory? How long ls it going
tshe people to- learn that other
minds work Just as theirs

irork better for a little praise for
lerlt. lt's only human naturi* that
lie conductor will do the same? The
lassender know* tiio glow and en
huslasm which follows approbation.
Ie knows how much more efficient ho
s when appreciated. He known the
lack feeling Of "What's th? use?" fol

lay?
.ROUnu nos AM? MK AT PUCES.
Most anything, of courae, will serve
s un rxcus*e to advance the price of
lent. The reason gi/en by agents of
lie meat packers for a recent Jump
a eastern wholesale rates has at
i;ast the merit of novelty. Tho cx
lanatlon ls that the wave of prohl
it ion throughout the country has
reutly curtailed the huslnei n of the
rlilskey distilleries, so there ls uct
nough of the whiskey refuse grain
? fatten thu usual number of cattle,
ml the consequent scarcity of cattle
< forcing prices up. ,
It's Just another indication of the
omplexlty ..' the liquor problem. It
oesn't BPwm ever to have occurred
o the liquor men themselves to figure
ut an argument like this against pro
Ibltlr
A somawhat more convincing expi
ation of the acknowledged meat

Hutton stored in New York than there

ears-ls the enormous demand by
ho European armies. Four thousand
teers a day are going abroad to feed
lie allies' troops.
BIGGER INCOME TAX RETURNS.
The income tax collections for the
iast year show a healthy growth over ;
he year before, in spite of the fact
hat there was less busness done and
iresumably less money made. Up to
uly 1 the receipts were about $80,
00.000, which ls $8,500,000 more than
cn days' grace may bring $5,000,000
sst year's total, and the subsquent
o $10,000,000 more.
The personal tsx brought the big
est surprise. For the fiscal year of
914 there was a total of $28,000,000
ollectcd from 375,508 persons. This
ear, while the number of taxed In
ou?es liss not increased much, thc
irovlous amount had been exceeded
iy $13.000.000 up to July 1, with sev
rai possible millions yet to come In.
A large part of the gain ls due, of
ourse, to the feet that the 191? tax?s
vere only for a ten-month period,
rhtle the last collections are for a full
'ear. Much of the Increase, however,
s due to an increaso of governmental
ifnelency In.handling the collections.
_ABt year the system WBB chaotic,
rho attempt to collect from incomes
it their source broke down. Payment
lecanio largely a matter of chanee.
Mow the system has got lato better
vorklng order, and the public has a'
letter understanding of lt. Muddle,
.other than dishonesty, seems to have
>ben responsible for most of the first
silures to pay. There ia little evl
lence ot intentional tax-dodging.
BRIDAL GALLUSES.
The New York Wrold seems to think
here ls komething funny In this quo
tation from the Jollet Herald-News,
which lt sarcastically captions "An
Example of Climax:" "The charm ot

Dispatches from Denver announc
ing the amalgamation of the four
powerful railway employes' unions for
increased wages and service demands
mean Bomethlng real to informed per
sons. It is a mobilization for war
between tho brotherhoods and the
railroad managers, with the nation as
unprepared air' helpless as Chicago
was last month for the traction strike.
Unless the coming session of con
gress develops more adequate pro
tection the probable course of eventB
during the coming spring, when new
schedules will be demanded, is not
encouraging.
Under the Newlands act the ma
chinery for mediation and arbitration
has been provided, but there is no
obligation to accept the board's ser
vices, and Chicago will witness that
even a powerful public opinion is not
powerful enough at times. Besides
the men complain that arbibraticai

"It*s only a little leak and doesn't
amount to anything" is the way that
the steady drip or the fine stream
from a faucet is usually regarded.
But the little teak ls on the Joh twen

In the week and while it may not ap- '
pear to be waatlag much water, it ?
ia actually leting a great deal ron
away. A round orifice 1-32 Inch in
.diameter will pass 270 gallons of wa
ter in twenty-tour hours at a pres
sure of SO pounds to the square inch.
Increase Gie pressure by 10 pound s
and Gie amount is 320 gallons, at 50
pounds pressure it is 380 gallons and.
at 60 pounds, 420 galloas. Scc'C ot
our most progressive towns that have
every outlet metered show a daily per
capita consumption of only 70 gal
lons, so that at 60 pounds pressure,
which is now quite common, that fine
stream ls wasting the equivalent ot
a day's supply for six persons.
A stream of water 1-32 Inch in dia
meter lent any bigger than a good
sised daming needle Increase rt to
1-16 inch about the sise of one of
those crochet booka that grandma
uses, and Gie amount it will get
hway with in twenty-four hours ts
amasing. Starting at 850 gallons for
80 pounds pressure, it reaches 1230
gallons at SO pounds. Enough to sup
ply almost eighteen people for wash
ing, drinking and bathing for a day
and night. These are only the fine
toaks that look like negligible quan
tities as they leave Ute ta. Take a
faucet that ls openly splattering with
a leak equivalent to 1-8 inch and It's
criminal. The amount lt runs to

It Is apparent that congress must
take sotiie action. Canada lias had
excellent success with a law which
goes one stop ?srther than ours by
prohibiting lo- kouts or strikes, un
til the board of mediation has made
a complete Investigation of the issues
and made its findings public. In
seven years tbere have been oly eigh
teen cases In which strikes were not
either a verte-1 or ended, and the labur
forces have not been treated unfairly.
Others urge the necessity ?? compel?-;
'ng the disputants to accept th? offices
of the board if a strike is insisted up
on even after the first investigation.

'?Lost Face.'?
(Chicago Tribune.)
It is a striking circumstance of
China's danger and humiliation ?hat
she admits her face is in the dirt. A
wensness of Chinese character waa
to take the injury and hide it under
an appearance of unhurt pride. If
face could be saved the Injury waa not
mortal. This was like a disease which
ga-c no warning by pain.
If the Chinese people know they
have been humiliated and are in dan
ger ot having their developing na
tionalism extinguished they may be
come more dangerous than they ever
have been to the invador ot their
rights.
"We are ashamed of the humiliation"
says President Yuan Shih Kai in a
proclamation remarkable for admit
ting that face is wholly lost, "but
should we blame others while we our
selves are at fault? Our own weak
ness has invited the .Insult, andi I feel
that I um a man of little virtue ana
