And, as this pre vails the less "will there be " of inhumanity ' to man.'" ixi au a which it is truly declared; makes cbu'tfJc-J n.To3 ttttifA, . Our Short Sighted South. There is a tremendous moral in a statement made by the Man ufacturers Record, of Baltimore, which the South should ponder and digest. Railroad construct ion in the South, the year ju,st closed, showed the smallest mile age in the 33 years of that publi cation's existance, and less than one half of the, average annual increase in that period. In congress the south is now in control. Perhaps unconsciusly, it has been paying off what it; chooses to believe are old scores. To do this, the entire railroad m doustry of the country has suf fered. But the investment of new capital in the south has been less, relatively, than elsewhere, and the loss to business in that section has been enormous. This is at a time, moreover, when the cotton crop has failed- not in quantity or quality, but in marketability; while important states have received another black eye in the adding -of resin ous products, by the Allies, to the contraband list. Rosin is the binder of shrapnel shells; cam phor is a .constituent of smoke less power and turpentine's the only discovered basis for a syn thetical substitue. These, with the depression of trade, make the burden heavy to bear. But per secution of the railroads for the cheapest kind of politics, has ad aea lmmeasuraoiy to uie paruu - sis of what once looked like prom ising development of Southern resources. ' What is at the bottom of all this J It is 2-cent fare laws, ex tra crew laws; mischieveous med dling in the place of regulation, truckling to the labor unions, sac rificing broad interests to the sel fish demands of shippers who de mand rates bearing no relation to the value of the sesvice per formed. These things have ten ded to frighten capital away. Real Ei tate remains undevelop ed. The industries which supply the railroads drift from bad to worse, ' and 1 the last 1 economic failure is seen in the fact that ad ditions to taxes, already oppress- ve, yield a lowered revenue to the respective states. . There is an old fable of Aesop which i-ongress and the southern egislatures , should , ponder. It tells of the 'dispute between the Sun and the East Wind as to the one which could make the travel er remove his cloak. The wind only made him draw it closer around him.: Prosperous railroads mean prosperous business, and a arger tax collection for " public development from the greatest tax-payera in the country. Here is a proposition as simple as elementary arithmetic. Can onY southern politicians see it I And, if for no less selfish reasons can they see it before it impress es itself upon the mind and pock et of (the voter of 1916. Wall Street Journal.
