Foreign citizens, whodid not wish to have their hil- ren pledge themselves to support the American flag, should send their children to private schools and pay, for their education The theory. seems perfectly Sound and-many lead- iis eltizens wphold the decision of the School authorities and are of the op- inion that to make an exception in the present case would establish) a dangerous precedent.

Strange to say the grocers gold these rocks together with potatoes to thelr customers without noticing the pres- ence of the stones and customers failed to notice. the deception until they found petrified potatoes re fused to become soft in cooking. Then the irate housewives carried the rocks to their grocers and demanded an ex- planation, which the merchants were unable ta give until one of the boys was caught In the act of dumping another load of rocks int) the potato barrel.

The, explanation of the great proe- perity of the Cahiadian Pacific: ties in two quite different facts, says writer in the Railway Age Gazette, The first fact is the Fapld growth of the country travers ef. The second ig the policy which has been pursued by the Pacific of conserving to the company all of the possibilities for earning money which are developed by a rail- way, but which are not considered in the United States a necessary part of railway business proper. The Canadian Pacific earned gross. in the year ended June 123,820,000. After the payment of expensesjtaxes and fixed charges there wag a surplus of 33,880,000, an after the payment of 7 per cent on the common stoek from earnings and 1,000,000 toward steamship re- Placement there wasia surplus of 17, 560,519.

A regular comic opera situation prevailed in the village of Walling- fon, N. J, the past week. Under nor- mai conditions the village is under the protection of a police force con- sisting of the chief of police and two: patrolmen. A few weeks ago one of the patrolmen became sick and the Then the chief himself made a blun- der in releasing a prisoner who had Stabbed a man in. saloon:. The chief tee of the village council and the chairman of the. committee had to take the Diace of the chief in doing patrol duty. A constable was tem- Porarily pressed into gervice, but hel was found drunk and wae suspended. Another man was employed who left Dig, post without permission and his suspension was the result. Then the son of the chief was appointed, but lie promptly resigned. So hopeless did it seem to get relief, that one of the suspended men was tempor: Teinstated to lieve the chairman. of; the police committee during part of the night. Fpr several days last week prese agent was kept busy spreading the information up and down Broadway) Lthat-en a certain day, at one hour before noon some. fabulously wealthy man would appear upon the balcony of a certain hotel and scatter hands- full of money to the populace. The bait worked and at the appointed time there was a small crowd, - mostly newsboys, assembled in front of the l. At eleven o'clock sharp a man. actually appeared upon the bal- cony on the fifth floor and tossed a few pennies and nickles into the street. The boys fought and scram- bled for the coins, furnishing con- siderable amusement to the rest of the crowd . After the fabulously jrenithy man on the balcony had thrown small coins aggregating about two dollars in value into the street, he withdrew from his posi. Then came the joke on the newsboys, who had fought so valiantly for thelr pen- nies, After the rain of coins had ceased, a number of toughs who had Deen watching the fighting boys, de- scended upon the youngsters and took away the few peniles which they had gained with eo much trouble, Persons who, are in the habit of teasing others, even without any ma- li fous intent, should take warning from eage which happened in this city the other day. In an uptown apartment a young manvand his aged mother lived happily Some time. The young mam was a Sreat tease and, although he loved his mother dearly, he enjoyed noth- ing so much as to tease his mother. He found it so easy to make her an- gry by his teasing that he indulged quite frequently in this form of amusement. Day after day the oth- er tenants of the apartment house could hear the old Jady storming and Faging at her son, but everybody un- derstood that the yung man. was merely teasing her. It seems, how- ever, that the young man Went a tri- fle too far and teased his mother, once too often. The strain proved too much for her and in her exas: peration she waited untii her son had fallen asleep; then she turned on the gag in bis room: and retired to her Own room to die.

It even operates its own itews stands. The hotel grants made by the Govern- ment to.the company have been man- aged conservatively and with great skill and always in tho interests of the company Itself and not .of any group of individuals. It is due to this policy of the om- Dany, of itself getting all the profits that ac rued, combined with the growth bf the country, that has the Canadian Pacific in the position to earn the rather awe-inspiring sum of over 123,000,0000 and to operate its property even in a year of ad- Yerse general conditions on as low-a basis as In the previous year. Phe railways of the United States haye granted to individuals or out side companies many which owe their posstb ing. a profit to the existence. ot the rellways, but which are not of them- selves a part of actual transportation. The consequence has been. that in the United States we have wealthy ex- press compantes, sleeping car com- panies, and 0 on, the prosperity of which does not help the railways, The profits of these outside com- Panles have grown with the prosper- ity of the cointry at a far more rapid rate than their cost of doing business. The-Canadian Pacific in being the sole beneficiay of thy e pid increases in profits is able to show a total increase in earnings which more than offsets the increase in expenses. In the annual report for 1912 there is a good illustration of what is meant by conserving to, the company all of the opportunities for profit that come to a great railway. In 1905 the Can- adian :Pacific bought the Esquimalt and Nanaimo, At tlie time the Can- adian Pacific bought this the Jatter had. about 1,400,000 acres of land grant, Iand which its owners feared would be subject to taxation or some other burden if it were separated from the railway. This land was: therefore bought by the Canadian Pacific for 1,380,000. It was bought, it will be noted, by the Tailway company, not by, syndicate. Thus far 250,000 acres, or about one- seventh of the total of these lands, have been sold for 3,364,000, and the report says that the remaining Iand is of great value. This is the kind of policy that has made the Canadian Pacilc Ratlway Company what it is. In 1912 the Canadian Pacific spent 12,040,000 for additions and improve- in its main line and 2,930,000 additions and betterments to Its branch lines and for certain additions and - betterments to office buildings and to telegraph lines. Of the total amount spent on the main line onty 4,830,000 was for sidings and for ad- ditional tracks, Most of the remain- der was spent for improvements having to do with terminals and ter- minal facilities. The expenditure for terminals made by the Canadian Pacific in the past few years have been extreordin- arly great. The management hag profited by the lessons of roads in the United States, and has bought ample land for terminal facilities while the country is still developing and before the Iand for these facilities becomes acquisition for railway purposes al- most prohibitive.

Grop prospects in Canada. are very good indeed. It is interesting to note the changes in classes, of commodities carried during the last three years. The Canadian Pacific does not reduce its arious classes of commodities in the same unit (tons) as is done in Ameri- can railway reports, but does give figures from which the changes from year to year in tonnage, in bushels, ete, of various commodities can be traced There was a noticeable increase in the tonnage of manufactured articles carried between 1911 and 1912. In 1911, 5,760,000 tons was carried; in 1912, 7,200,000 tons, Flour, on the other hand, furnished a smaller am- ount of traffic in 1912 thay in 1911, there being 470,000 barrels carried fn 1911 and 8,460,000 in 1912. The large increases in traffic from tbe in- creased movement of manufactured articles reflect the rapld growth of the country andthe rapid growth in power of consumption of manufac- tured articles of its people. Notwithstanding the competition. that the Canadian, Pacific will have to meet from the Grand Trunk, the Grand Trunk Pacific snd the Canadian Northern, it isin an unusually strong Pacific has not only given sedera to strategic position. Moreover, t is an Bnusually strong strategic position ad regards fate reduction by Govern- ment commissions. It is hardly like- ly that the Canadian Government Would reduce rates below what would yield fair return to elther the Grand Trunk-or the Canadian Northern. On any competitive rate-that will yield fair return to elther the Canadian Norther or the Grand Trunk the Can- adian Pacific can earn a very sub- stantial return. In other words, it bas such a long start of its competi- tors, and it bas in the past been so conservative in its financing, and so forehanded in its plans, that it is now in a position.to face without fear either competition from new lines or regulation of its rates by Government authorities, ENGLAND REMEMBERS TRAFAL- GAR.
