The onlv i the llneB to tbe southern section monument in Richmond, the late Capital of the Confederacy, in de fense of which Jackson fell, is the statue . standing in the "Capitol Square" erected solely by admiring Englishmen, the only tribute of the kind by foreigners to any confeder ate leader, thus evincing the exalted epinion in which he was held W peo ple of foregn lands. It was also the express opinion of those at this meet ing that the work of erecting an , equestrian statue in Richmond to General Jackson has already been too long delayed, and that the time was now ripe for the performance of this patriotic duty a duty which we owe alike to ourselves and to those to come after us. show a slight increase and the lines In the western section a falling off, In the total operating revenue, the receipt's for' freight transportation represent 71.7 per cent and receipts of passenger transportation 20.8 per cent, the remainder coming from mail, express and other sources. uperaung expenses also snow a lower average per mile of line.

The net revenues, that is, the dif ference between total operating rev enues and total operating expenses, averaged $16 less per mile of line ip November, 1910, which Is a de crease of 4.3 per cent. This so-celled net revenue is, in fact, gross prof i's out of which must come taxes, amounting in November to $9,676,976 or an average of $43 a mile, rentals, interests on bonds, dividends, and appropriations for Improvements. The fallng off of 1.6 per cent in op erating revenues contrasts with an increase oK 12.7 per cent in taxes. THE FALLACY OF PROTECTION RAILROAD WRECKS The tragic death of former presi dent J. T. Harahan, of the Illinois Central, and three other hiih rail road officials, at Kintnundy. Ills., a gain illustrates ' the small regard American railroads have for human lives, compared to other nations. The number of passengers killed in this country in 190S was 301; in 1909, the number -was 253. and In 1910 the numberrose to 421. These figures are for passengers alone, and do not include trainmen and other employes, among whom the. fatali ties annually reneh into the thous ands. 'Against this slaughter of Ameri can railroad passenpers the British railroads. In 1910 killed only 23 pas sengers, a number greatly in excess Whenever an American trust wants the tariff rate raised it basss iti plea on the argument that "Amer ican manufacturers cannot compete with the cheap labor of Europe." In eleven months of last year the exports of iron and steel products, to gether with agricultural implements and freight and passenger cars. amounted to nearlv S270.000.000 an increase ot 'aoout $54,000,000 over the corresponding period of 1910. These materials are exported from this country to all parts of the world' in the face of the competition of En gland, Belgium, Germany and Franco. The steel trust's foreign competi tors had the advantage of that "cheap labor?, which the trusts and their Republican friends fear so greatly whenever a proposal is made to lower the tariff, yet the trust's trade In foreign markets Is constant ly on the increase. How much long er will the people allow themselves tobe fooled by trust "logic?" v WHITE ROSE CHAPTER NO. 44, O. E. S. At the memorial service of White Rose Chapter, No. 44, O. E.
