Respect t. - the average congress
man, and there are mighty few
above the average. Is getting to be
a faded sentiment these days. The
thing we were taught to call pa
triotism, is becoming a lugubrious
Joke to those who watch some of
our statesmen play politics and
stifle needed legislation When
President Taft placed the fourth
class postmasters on the civil ser
vice list and made other recess ap
pointments, the Democrats held up
the confirmations; not because the
men were 'ncompetent, but because
they were Republicans N'ow the
senate, which will about break even
politically, have framed it up to
stop the "A llson confirmations, as
soon as he gets in power; not be
cause there is any moral reason,
but because they *111 be IVmocrats
Met m eon two factions of that cali
bre, whore is the dear people gotng

These men call themselves states
men Th y wear the toga of au
thority anU are demi-gods at stall
ing. In the meantime patriotism Is
gradually fading from human know!
edge, and respect for those In au
thority Is turning Into contempt.

> Statistics compiled front official
sources show that one has to go
back for fifteen years, namely, to
1897, to find a >ear in which as
small a railroad mileage was built
as in 1912, and one has to go back
six years, namely, to 1906, to find t
a year In which as large a number
of freight cars were ordered The
marked increase In activity along
Industrial lines during the last part
of 1912 is shown by the fact that
between two and three times as
many freight cars were actually
built tn 1912 as in 1911, and a
third more locomotive were actual
ly built in 1912 than in 1911
The official figure* for the num
ber of railroad receiverships, the
number of railroad foreclosim sales
and the amount of block signal
mileage, all give Indications of the
same conditions that are Illustrated
by the extraordinary snnll amount
of ne wrailroad mileage built and
the very heavy orders for ik? equip
mept, namely, that capital Is refus
ing to go into new railroad enter
prises and that the prosperity of
the last hulf of 1912 is taxing exis
ting railroad facilities he.ivlh
Notwithstanding the f;ict tl t
1911 was considered a very unsatis
factory year for railroad building,
there was 3,066 mile^ of new fifst
track built in 1911, while In 1911'
there was only 2.997 miles built
The 2.997 miles built in 1912 v<u
built in 41 States, no new mile ig?
at all being built In Alaska or five
States The largest milage ?ns
built In North Dakota. In which
State 347 miles of first track whs
built. ?ith Texas second. In which;
336 miles was built.
Men of Big
Business
Forget That
People Rule
By ELBERT H. GARY. Head of
the United States Steel
Corporation
QUESTIONS of great magnitude and concern are at present
I agitating the minds of the people throughout the world.
Men of big business may be STUBBORNLY OBLIVIOUS
of some of them, but we ought not to be. We rofiifo to con
sider, or at least postpone consideration of, many of them. The ques
tions are international, national and domestic, and they invoke the
welfare of every one.
We are disposed to wrap around ourselves the CLOAK OF
SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS, or #c proclaim that we r. \ un>n the
stability of the government or the majesty of the law. and we con
sider ourselves safe, whether within our vision everything seems to
be calm and tranquil or otherwise.
* * *
WE SOMETIMES FORGET THAT IT IS THE MASSES OF THE
PEOPLE WHO DETERMINE FINAL RESULTS; THAT THEY MAY ES
TABLISH AND ABOLISH GOVERNMENTS: THAT THEY MAY MAKE
AND UNMAKE CONSTITUTIONS. SOONER OR LATER THEY BRING
ABOUT CONDITIONS SATISFACTORY TO THEM. EVEN B> RESORT
ING TO DESTRUCTIVE MEASURES. THEY HAVE THE MIGHT. AND
THEY CAN DETERMINE FOR THEMSELVES WHAT IS THE RIGHT.
? K *
They believe in the sentiment, to quote from a French writer on
French history, that "there is a bigotry in politics as well as in re
ligion, and it is the worst of bigotry to rcjoct change as something
which is inherently bad. LAWS TO BE PERMANENTLY USE
