* ! . A. GRIFFIN REPLIES TO
DAILY NEWS EDITORIAL ON
\ FREIGHT RATE ADVANCES
( From Chicago Dally News. )
Mr. Griffin Replies.
I desire to call attention to an edito
rial printed in The Daily News , May
21 , headed "Back Fire on the Shippers , "
In which you make the following state
ments : First , that my representation
of the case Is not candid ; second , that
Hvhnt I did have to say was based upon
the action of the shippers' conference ,
and , third , that I had no right to pose
as n business man having interests in
common with the shippers.
The circulation for signatures of a
statement relating to freight rates was.
ns far as I was concerned , confined to
fellow members of the Railway Busi
ness association , and no reference was
made to the shippers' conference. I
personally attended this conference
and have no criticism to make on any
thing that was done there and none
was made or intended by me , but what
[ "deprecated" was contained in an ar
ticle sent out by the Illinois Manufac
turers' Association , dated May 7 , and ,
us a member of that Association , I
" ' ' personally wrote a letter to each of Its
r"f -
individual members , dated May 17. In
| f M this I referred to the misleading and
unfair statements contained In the
cirvuuu ui luuy t nicnuoneu aoove , aim
In doing so I was "candid. " I said
that the statement "that railroads are
rapidly increasing their not earnings"
was not true and ns to the correctness
of iny statement I beg to refer to the
following :
The latest interstate-commerce com
mission reports show that during the
month of March eleven systems , repre
senting every railroad north and west
on a line drawn through Chicago and
St. Louis , show an Increase in gross
earnings for the month of March , of
nearly $7,000,000 compared with March ,
1909 , while the net earnings for the
Hamo roads in the same period show
a decrease of $905,000 ; and the Interstate -
, state commerce commission figures for
the ten months , July to March 31 , In
1910 , as compared with 190D , show an
jlncreaso In gross of over $50,000,000 ,
hwhilo the net earnings of these same
systems in the same period of compari
son , show a falling off of over $3,500-
000. And , as comparatively little of
the Increases in wages had even gone
Into effect during March , the railroads
must provide some means to Increase
a revenue that Is already decreasing
on an increased amount of business ,
and there is no way for railroads to
provide this except by increasing their
rates , and surely there la "reason for
the need of It. "
In the third paragraph on the second
end page of this Illinois Manufac
turers' Association circular of May 7
It Is stated that 7.99 per cent , was
earned on the dividend-paying stock ,
making no allowance for the 34 per
cent , of stock on which no dividends
were paid. I might , with equal propri
ety , make the statement that there
was no dividend paid on the non-dlvl-
BOYS TAKE A BACK SEAT
Spelling Contests Held In New Orleans
Prove Girls Superior to Their
Brothers.
The result of the spelling contests
In the New Orleans public schools
again demonstrates the superior pro
ficiency of the girls , practically all of
the victors being members ot the
gentler sex. Last year the same thing
was true and the matter was quite
generally commented on In the press
and nt gatherings where educational
subjects were discussed.
So far as our information goes there
have been no contests to determine
the pupils In other branches of study ,
but It would bo Interesting to know
If this feminine superiority Is found
to exist In all studies , or It they are
confined only to particular branches.
Doubtless this result Is due In part to
the fact that the female mind ripens
nt an earlier age than Is the case with
the masculine mind , although there Is
little doubt that the feminine Intel
lect along certain lines Is more acute
than th masculine , which would seen.
to justify the conclusion that certain
branches of study are more readily
mastered by girls and women.
In view of the growing number of
young women that are going Into po
sitions as stenographers , typowrltlsts
and other positions requiring an ac
curate knowledge of spelling , this dem
onstrated proficiency Is most gratify
ing. The public school administra
tion Is to bo commended upon the ef
forts It has made to improve the
spelling of the public school puplla
and the triumphant girls to bo con
gratulated upon their easy victory
over the boys.
Long Walt.
"Why don't you wait on a sport
like me ? " demanded the patron who
had made the tenth unsuccessful at
tempt 'to give his order for "ham
and "
"Sport ! " laughed the sarcastic
waiter , "you look like a sport. Why ,
you need a shave ! "
"Well , that's your fault If I do. I
didn't need It when I came In. "
Invitation Accepted.
It Is told that a certain lady of a
western Kansas town desired to show
kindness to the captain of the local
state militia company and wrote the
the following ihrltation : "Mrs.
requests the pleasure of Captain 'a
company at a reception on Friday eve
ning. "
A prompt reply came : "With the
exception of three men who are sick
with measles , Captain 's company
accepts your kind Invitation and will
come with pleasure to your reception
Friday evening. "
dond paying stock. For a clearer del-
nltlon , the average earnings should be
based upon the entire stock , nnd not
upon the best paying portion of It , un
less there la some reason why the
$2,500,000,000 representing the 34 per
cent should not have received any divi
dends at nil.
In the final paragraph of the edito
rial it is stated that I should not bo
allowed to pose as a business man ,
"having no interest In common with
the shippers. " Inasmuch as my concern -
corn shipped an average of 350,000 tons
of finished product during 190G and
1907 , and wo were obliged to receive
more than 350,000 tons of Iron to fur
nish this , plus Qiiorn MIS quantities ot
coke , coa.1 and other supplies , 1 can
safely claim to have shipped in nnd
out 7GO.COO tons n year , nnd ns there
are no railroads who can afford to haul
this material , or any part of It , without
having a revenue from it , an increase
of 10 cents a ton on my hauling charge
would amount to $75,000 and , there
fore , I have "business" Interests In com
mon with other shippers. " The 350,000
tons of finished product shipped repre
sented In the neighborhood of $10.000-
000. This $10,000,000 represented most
ly labor , with the exception ot the
cost of the ore and coal in the mines.
All the balance was made up of wages
and profit on the different conditions
of the raw material until it was fin-
isneu prouuci.
My Illinois plants produced CO per
cent of this amount , or $0,000,000 a
year. For three years our Chicago
plants have not run more than half
capacity. Therefore , there was $3,000-
000 a year less In distribution because
of a corresponding shrinkage In sales.
As most of our Iron and coal comes
from Illinois , this $3,000,000 a year was
not distributed in Chicago , as would
have been the case had wo worked on
the same output that wo did In 190G
and 1907. And a great deal of that
$3,000,000 which was not paid was
taken out of the business firms situ
ated in or near Chicago by the non-
purchases from their varied business
on the part of the community that
would have received the $3,000,000 a
year for three years. That Is the rea
son why I have a right , as n business
man , to deprecate any unfair or un
called-for obstacles that are placed In
the way of my business and the hun
dred other varieties of business in this
country that are affected by the money
put Into circulation by the railroads.
When It is further considered that my
business constitutes but 10 per cent
of the cost of a car and that there
were nine other units similarly affect
ed , most of which would have been
tributary to Chicago , anyone can see
how important It is to his Individual
Interests that the railroad companies
should have najple funds to make these
Improvements and purchases , and will
realize how comparatively easy it will
be to stand a reasonable advance on
the freight for any material he will
need , it he Is receiving Increased
orders.

The Outing Spirit.
If you want to have a good time
on your outings you must make up
your mind to help along by acquiring
the outing spirit. This means :
. Learn to put up with whatever
turns up.
Don't grumble , fidget or expect lm
possibilities.
Don't pose. That Is , pretend you
like roughing It and outdoor life when
all you crave Is a crowded board walk
and the glitter of a summer hotel.
Don't attempt moro than you have
strength for.
Ba a good sport without being reck
less.
less.Look
Look after your health. Remem
ber the worker's outing must have
rest and strength building for the un
derlying motive. Therefore , don't
overtlre yourself or trifle with bad wa
ter and messy foods.
Make your outing come well within
your means. It is foolish to "blow
In" In two weeks the savings of
months.
Season all with a determination to
have a good time , keep happy and
never let your temper run away with
you.
Pocket Wireless.
The Italian savant , Mgr. . Cerebotani ,

ventor of an Instrument like a large
watch , which enables a person to re
ceive messages transmitted from
"wireless" stations. The apparatus Is
merely a pocket receiver , and the only
accessories are a bobbin of wire nnd
a metallic encased cane. A person
thus equipped can at a given moment
receive communications from a station
within a radius of twenty to thirty
miles. N

homo that he felt ten years younger.
Some days later ho wrote again that
ho felt 20 years younger. Then his

POULTRY NOTES.
The profitable hen is both indus
trious nnd hnppy.
A variety of grain Is always bet-
ler than a steady diet ot one kind.
Many a guinea fowl has passed for
5Ualrle chicken upon stylish hotel
tables.
Chickens should not be kept inside
the house during bright , sunshiny
weather.
The Incubator catalogues are almost
certain to bring on acute attacks of
chicken fever.
The only way to toll which of your
hens are paying their wr.y is by the
use of trap nests.
Many n poultry disease traces its
origin to Improper vent lint Ion or lack
of protection from the weather.
Leg bands nro not expensive and
at the same time they are n great
convenience in marking poultry.
When the brooder chicks seem very
thirsty , wild for water , let them drink
and feed > ery lightly while so fever
ish.
ish.The
The average egg record for all the
pullets nnd 'hens in the United States
would probably not be 75 eggs In n
year.
Have everything convenient. Stops
saved In the cure of poultry will mean
that much less labor. Labor costs
money.
Cook some beans or pens , mix them
with wheat bran and food twice a
week and see if you don't get a lot
more eggs.
It Is perfectly natural for chickens
to run at large , nnd , If the weather
be suitable they are much stronger
for doing so.
Many n setting of eggs has been
spoiled by making the nest on the
floor where the wind can come up
through the cracks under the old
mother hen.
A hen should not bo set on moro
than Jlfteen eggs. The writer has al
ways made much better success by
using 13 eggs to a hen unless she is
unusually large. If given too many
eggs hens are sure to break some tryIng -
Ing to cove.1 all.

high. It is covered with close woven
poultry netting. The wooden strips
, arc two Inches square , says a writer
In an exchango. The frame as shown
requires bracing unless the poultry
.netting Is made diamond mesh and
'drawn very tight. The door Is made
by tacking a piece of netting over a
light frame. It Is easily moved about
and the chickens can have fresh
ground every day. It will hold fifty
chickens and give them plenty of
room for several weeks. 1 put a small

RAISE MORE MARKET POULTRY
Beginner Is Advised to Join Utility
Ranks and Breed Chickens for
Eggs and Meat.
( l y MICHAEL K. HOYKR. )
It linn been asked , will the functor
eventually be drlvon to the wall by
the progress juado In growing market
poultry ? Certainly not. Wo need
fanciers real fanciers. We want men
to create breeds and to perfect the old
ones. Hut the speculator and huck
ster is fast seeing his finish.
The man with a string of breeds Is
not n fancier. He Is a speculator. It
would be next to Impossible for him
to glvo onch of these breeds his besl
attention. To thoroughly know a
breed , and to get out of it all that Is
good in it would require an ordinary
life time.
Amateur fanciers will often buy
culls from a breed well advertised and
then advertise eggs for hatching from
so and so's strain. The man Is n
worse enemy of the fancier than the
man who breeds dunghill fowls.
A wonderful Interest has sprung up
in poultry matters. Large sums ot
money nre being Invested , and poul
try farms by the score nre started.
These now farms nre on the lookout
for utility stock. The man who can
advertise big egg records generally
gets the trade. They want carcasses
and egg recordw business poultry. So
the best advice to the beginner is to
join the utility ranks nnd raise poul
try and eggs for market. Then , in
after years , ho can , If ho feels so In
clined , gradually creep up Into the fan
cier's fold. It Is a step that cannot bo
hastily taken.
Protection for Chicks.
The net work of old fly screens of
jflno mesh wire fastened on lath frames
nro quickly made nnd moro than handy
to have for young chicks to bo used
lor front of coops on warm nights and
to keep out cats , coona and so on.
SELECTING HEN FOR LAYING
First Essential Is to Note Whether
Fowl Is Rangy or Dlocky For
mer Produces Eggs.
There nro several things which
should bo considered in selecting hens
'or layers , slwpo and size , color of
hcnd furnishings , notions ot the Indi
vidual , pelvic bone test.
The lirst thing to notice concerning
Lho shape is ns to whether or not the
iieu la rangy or blocky. A blocky
lien indicates n meat producer ; whllo
the more rangy one Indicate ; ) the pro
duction of eggs. Since the develop-
mo'jit of the eggs to a largo extent
takes place in the region or the body
below the broad part of the back that
imrt of the body should bo broader
than the fore part. This gives to the
body a V-shaped appearance as
viewed from the top , the small part of
the V lying to the front. When n hen
Is in heavy laying condition her ab
domen is lower than the breast lino.
This gives the body the appearance of
Showing "V-Shape" From Front.
being V-shaped as viewed from the
side along the top nnd bottom lines ,
with the small part of the V to the
front. This enlargement of the body
in the abdominal regions makes the
back appear Bomowhat narrower , giv
ing body a V-shaped appearance from
the back downward on the sidca as
viewed from the rear. Thus a body
V-shaped in three different directions
indicates largo productive powers.
A largo hen usually lays the larger
pggs. This rule may not hold true if
eho happens to bo a heavy producer
for then the tendency la to produce
smaller eggs. With such fowls as the
leghorns , whoso tendency is to lay
smaller eggs , the selection should bo
for large slzo of body rather than
small.
A good luyer is longer In body , nock
and logs than n meat-producing hen.
She stands up well and 1ms a well-
spread tail.
Immediately below the tail at the
end of side , pieces of ( ho back arc two
somewhat bony protuberances. These
are called the pelvic or "lay" bones ,
and nre just above the vent When
an egg Is laid these bones must bo
forced apart to allow its free passage.
When these bones are soft and pliable
and spread sufficiently to allow three
lingers to bo placed between them It
is an indication that the hen Is lay
ing. If they are hard and bony , and
close together , the hen would not bo
considered as laying at that tlmo.
To sum up , an Ideal laying hen
should conform as nearly as possible
to the following : She must bo
healthy , comb , wattles and face red In
color , eye bright and lustrous , neck
not short but rather medium to locjj ,
breast broad , long and sloping upward ,
back long and broad , abdomen wldo
and deeper than breast , shanks well
spread and rather long , V-shaped In
three ways as Indicated above.
GOOD WHITE WYANDOTTE HEN
Undoubtedly Strongest Competitor of
Plymouth Rock Excellent Layers
and Good Broilers.
The Wyandotte Is undoubtedly the
strongest competitor of the Plymouth
Hock , which it has not as yet eclipsed ,
but Is running It a neck-and-neck race
In many localities. The color scheme
Is Identical with that of the White
Hock , the standard calling for a snow-
white plumage and yellow skin and
legs. By careful selection and breed
ing the better strains of White Wyan-
dottes show an almost total absence
of dark pin feathers ; this , coupled
with their early maturity and plump
White Wyandotte Hen.
i arcass , has made a demand for the
breed for broiler purposes. Unless
one Is breeding for high-grade exhibi
tion specimens , the Whites coino suf-
flUcntly true to answer all practical
purposes. In habit they are almost
Identical with the Hocks , doing well in
small quarters. lielng also good lay
ers , as the American class goes , the
breed can bo commended to the city
lot fancier and to peoplu wanting ta
ble fowl and eggs for family supplies.
Selling day-old chicks IH becoming
moro popular each season. The IK'lo
fellows can bo shipped a considerable
distance by express without 'jy loss.
WINE , WOMEN
AND WAGES
By Rov. M. A. Mnttliowi , D. D.
Paitor of Flrtt Preibftertan Church
Seattle , W h.
In calling to your attention the par-
nlexlng problems included In the tltlo
of this sermon , you arc , no doubt ,
willing to admit that it is impossible
to glvo an exhaustive review of the
underlying conditions nnd cnuscs. If
wo are successful In making you
think , urrlvo at a conclusion and form
a resolution , the sermon has accom
plished Its purpose. In fact , it is not
the purpose of n sermon to relieve Uio
uidlcnco of mental oxorclso. Its best
work has been done when it creates
.in appotlto for Bible study , investi
gation nnd honest thought ; when it
provokes the auditors ) to think nnd
forces them to arrive nt logical , sane ,
spiritual conclusions.
The work ot this pulpit has always
been done along that lino. It docs
not tiy to inject hypodermic doses of
encyclopedia into the nudlonco. It
leaves that work to superficial , al
leged students. If in this sermon you
can bo provoked to think , to act nnd
to do your Christian duty , every one
will bo satisfied.
Wine , women and wages have been ,
since the catastrophe in the Garden of
Eden , very obstreperous subjects. No
man pretends to know everything
about them. In fact , one of thorn is
very elusive , and perhaps will iiover
be fully understood until she reaches
Paradise regained. The moro elusive
the subject the moro fascinating the
study and the moro exciting the pur
suit of knowledge.
These three problems are over with
us , and will remain with us , nnd will
continue to bo serious problems until
the end of the ages. Many ridiculous ,
foolish nnd harmful solutions remain
unsolved. Ono is prone to think nnd
bollovo the time has arrived for seri
ous , sane , righteous efforts to bo
made at remedying the conditions now
confronting us.
The harmful effects ot intoxicating
beverages have been apparent to stu
dents for the last 5,000 years.
Drunkenness is a crime against God ,
against man , against society , against
the homo , church and child. There IB
no excuse for It. Thcro Is no logical
reason to sustain it. It has been tried
and condemned before every bar of
justice , before public opinion and by
every thinking man who has over
lived or who now lives.
Drunkenness must cease. If the
man who makes a beast of himself
were the only one involved wo might
bccomo cold hearted and cruel enough
to say : "Let him drink himself to
death , go to the dogs , and bo de
voured by the vultures. " The man
who makes a beast cJf himself , who
destroys his life by strong drink , and
who wallows In tlio gutter , perhaps ,
deserves no moro consideration. How
ever , ho Is not the only one involved.
ills family are to be considered , luu
children are to bo pitied , society is to
bo protected , and posterity is to bo
prevented from inheriting his habits ,
tendencies and diseases.
Many remedies have been tried for
drunkenness. The man who comes
Into this world cursed by heredity ,
with n tendency to drink , Is to be
pitied. He ought to have every effort
made in his behalf that could pos
sibly prevent him from following his
Inclinations 'to ' the drunkard's grave
and to the drunkard's coll. It Is im
possible for a man who dies n drunk
ard to bo saved. No drunkard who dies
a drunkard can inherit the kingdom of
God or receive the blessings , joys and
citizenship of heaven. Thcro are no
drunkards In heaven. In order for a
drunkard to. bo saved ho must turn
from his evil ways , give up his life
of sin , accept Jesus Christ as his per
sonal Savior , bo regenerated by tht
Holy Spirit , nnd then ho can bo saved
in this life nnd from himself , his ap
petites and his passions.
The man who deliberately contracts
the habit of drunkenness deserves
physical punishment , ostracism , nnd
the Infliction of every pain that will
make him conscious of the wrong ho
is perpetrating against his family and
society.
The whipping post would perhaps
be effectual remedy for premeditated
deliberate drunkenness. The man
who disregards his family nnd shows
contempt for society by deliberately
getting drunk ought to bo stripped to
the waist , tied to a public whipping
post , nnd given 39 lashes on his nnkct
back once a week for six months. 1
that remedy were applied , some o
your "genteel drunks , " who arc do
stroylng their families , dissipating
their property , Insulting society am
damning young men would be linmcdl
ntely nnd effectually cured.
The Idea of a man getting drunk
going homo and insulting his family
abusing his little , helpless wife , ter
rorlzlng nnd cursing his little clill
dren , Is repugnant to every thought
His poor , helpless wife nnd little chil
dren seem to be without remedy n
the handB of your courts , because
Justice is administered by immby-pam
by men who seem to be afraid to pun
Ish n genteel rascal. The whipping
post ought to bo established for wife
beaters , professional drunks and mei
who disregard their duties to their
families , their children nnd society
Hoinembcr that 1 said I was deeply
Interested in and sorry for the mm
who Is born a drunkard , and by InherItance
Itanco was cursed with an nppotito for
ilcmoniKCd wine. Such n man , If ho
becomou n drunkard , ought to bo trlec
for Insanity nnd confined in an asy
him for life.
CORN PLANTING IS
OVER
THAT CANADIAN TRIP SHOULD-
NOW BE TAKEN.
If you had Intended going to Can
ada for the purpose of purchasing
nnd on which to establish n homo and
accompanying nome land company ,
whoso holdings you proposed to look
over or to go up on your own account
o select one hundred and sixty acre *
ot land free , you should delay no
ongcr. Corn-planting IB ever , your
wheat crop Is well ahead , nnd you
mvo a few weeks' tlmo before you an
required in the fields again. Now
make your Intended trip. Reports
nt hand show that the crop prospects
n Canada wore never bettor than
they nro today. The cool weather huu
not affected the crop , but If anything ,
t has boon a benefit. Thcro has been
plenty of moisture nnd these who'
mvo had tholr land properly prepared
ook upon this year as likely to bo oni
of the best they have had. A great
many are going up this season who
expect to pay two or throe dollars un ,
aero moro than they were naked to
pay lost year. Others who wish to
Homestead are prepared to go farther
from the line of railway than would
iiavo bcon necessary last year. Still
It Is worth It. So it will bo with you.
Next year lands will bo higher-priced
and homoHtuada loss accessible. There
la a wonderful tldo of Immigration to
Central Canada now. It is expected
that ono hundred and fifty thousand
now settlers from the United Stuteu
will bo numbered by the end ot the
present year , an Increase of fifty par
cent ever last year. In addition to
this there will bo upwards of onn
hundred thousand from the old coun
try , which does not Include thoan
who may come from the northern
countries ot the Continent. These all
Intend to settle upon the land. The
reader docs not require an answer to
the Questions , "Why do they do it ? "
"Why nro they going there In such
largo numbers ? " Western Canada lane
no longer an experiment. The fact
that ono hundred and fifty million
bushels of wheat were raised there
last year ns against nincty-flvo mil'
lions the year previous , shows that
the tiller of the soil In Central Canada
is making money and It Is safe to say
that ho is making moro money than
can bo made anywhere clso on the
Continent in the growing of grains.
Ho gets good prices , ho has a sure and
a heavy crop , ho enjoys splendid rail
way privileges , and ho has also the
advantages ot schools and churches
and such other social life as may bo
found anywhere. It is difllcult to sar
what district Is the best. Some nro
preferred to others because there are
friends already established. The
Grand Trunk Pacific , on its way
across the Continent , is opening up a
splendid tract of land , which is being
taken up rapidly. The other railway *
the Canadian Pacific and Canadian
Northern , are extending branch Hues
Into parts inaccessible a couple of ,
years ago. With a perfect network
of railways covering a largo area or
the agricultural lands It Is not dlllli
cult to secure a location. Any agent
of the Canadian Government will hoi
pleased to render you assistance by
advice and suggestion , and a good
plan Is to wrlto or call upon him.
The Government has located theaa
agents at convenient points through *
out the States , and their offices nro
well equipped with a full supply of
tunps and literature.
Gasoline Engines.
Gasoline engines are only used to a
limited extent as yet. They are just
coming into use. One dealer estimates
about five per cent : replacing wind
mills. People are very conservative
about Improvements.
A TRAIN LOAD OF TOBACCO.
Twenty-four Carloads Purchased for
Lewla' Single Binder Cigar
Factory.
What Is probably the biggest lot of
til fancy grade tobacco hold by any
factory In the United States has Just
boon purchased by Frank P. Lewis , of
Peoria , for the manufacture of Lewis'
Slnglo Binder Cigars. The lot will
make twenty-four carloads , and is se
lected from what Is considered by ex
perts to bo the finest crop raised In
many years. The purchase of tobacco
Is sufficient to last the factory moro
than two years. An extra price was
paid for the selection. Smokers ot
Lewis' Slnglo Binder Cigars will appro-
elate this tobacco.
