' To say that a thing is "as good as gold" is to credit it with the. highest possible merit. So high is the golden standard that people are p'eased to have their noblest attributes associated wich it. Gold is a dangerous word to apply to a plated article, human or otherwise, because of the ex acting acid test to which that claim makes it subject, The acid test of commercial commodity 5s public opinion Business house; with reputations to uphold, do not ally their products with the gold marks, unless certain those products will justify the endorsement.

The following resolutions were unanimously adopted: "Whereas, War has been declared between the United States and Germany since the proposed celebration was decided upon, and Whereas, The hearts of the people of this county, on account of said war, are now filled with the spirit of rejoicing and celebrating, and Whereas, Our first duty is to our country, and our first thought of it, its soldiers and their families, Therefore, Be It Resolved, That we defer, for the present our proposed centennial celebration, and that we thereby conserve the dollars it would cost, for the use and benefit of our

Nation, or for those who may be rendered worthy objects for our help and assistance." The resolution was offered by Hon. H. M. Kean and seconded by the Rev.

Uli GLASSES HIT WHEN RAILROAD PROFITS DECLINE

Industry Feels Most Keenly Effect of Railroad Poverty. UNWISE LAWS MAKE TROUBLE Millions of Dollars Lost by Railroads In Meeting Maze of Legislative Requirements Laws Contradict Each Other. "A man Is as old ns his arteries," says n prominent health authority. With equni truth It may he said that n country is as prosperous as its railroads, for industry is the life of a country, and the railroads hear the same vital relation to the industrial system that the his blood carrying tubes hear to the human body. There was a time in the history of Industry when manufacturing was a one man affair, when every laborer owned his own tools and made soods for his neighbors. That system passed away with the Invention of the stenni engine, and no sane man today would wish for its return. The modern highly developed industrial organism depends absolutely on the facilities for distribution provided by l he railroads. But how have the railroads been rewarded for making possible the evolution of industry? In recert yr.irs they have been made the subject for all sorts of Ipsa! vivisection. They havo been chloroformed and cut open, and, as usual i such cases, the surgeons have dlirered as to the nature of tho malady aud the necessary cure. The prevailing iheory. however, was that the railroads were suffering from an abnormal growth of the Income, so their income had to be amputated. From a professional point of view the operation was eminently successful, but in a number of crimes the patient died. Recent mortality statistics show a total of :M.;,V2 miles of steam railroad in the hands of receivers, the roads involved having a total capitalization of $i.7nruss.'2io. One Roa Spend: $19,000,000. The avnlaiK he ot adverse laws directed against railroads has been so overwhelming that since 1U0G the Pennsyl. vania. railroad on its lines east of Pittsburgh alone has spent $10.000.000 complying with the legislative enactments. Approximately that sum is equal to 0 pßr ceut income on S.'JUO.OOO.OOO. Interstate railroads are exposed to contradictory laws enacted by the legislatures of the states through which they run. About nineteen states nre trying to regulate the issuance of rail, road securities by different methods. Twenty-eight states specify headlight requirement without any co-operation with one another. Fourteen states have different safety appliance acts. Sometimes the orders of the Interstate Commerce Commission, so far as they concern Intrastate matters, are practically nullified by the failure of tho states to approve them. It is estimated that the railroads of the country are required to make over 2.000,000 reports a year to various state or federal authorities. Of course the railroads do not bear the burden of this legal yoke alone. It rests as heavily on the shoulders of the 1,500,000 or more owners of American railway securities, many of whom are women dependent for support upon the income from these securities. Insurance companies, representing 30,OOO.OUO policy holders, have $1,000,000,000 invested In railway securities, and savings banks, representing 11,000,000 depositors, have &S(!0.m)0,000 m vested in railroad stocks and bonds. Wealth of Roads Benefits Many. According to the stai !tics of railways In, the United States issued in 1014, the railroads then employed 1,710,20G persons, to whom they paid approximately ?1.3S1, 117,202 per year in wages and salaries. The expenditure of that sum is certainly a substantial contribution to the income of all mercantile and manufacturing enterprises. But, while the railroad situation claims the attention of all classes of citizens, it must appeal to the industrial worker in bread' and butter terms, for he Is the tirst to feel the effects of railroad impoverishment. This was evidenced in 1014 and 1915, when the railroad situation was most acute and when thousands of men were out of work and the industries of the country were in a serious condition. nowcan the industrial worker helfi ro put the railroads on a sounder work, tug basis? By joining in a general protest against the legislative avalanche, by voting asainst the legislator who is instrumental tn the passap of the burdensome 'and taxations laws that reduce railroad profits and the income on railroad securities. It is vitally necessary that those securities should be made more attractive to the Investing public so that the railroads can Increase their credit and obtain enough money to make improvements and increase their equipment. Sound Credit Essential. "Railroad regulation must encourage sound credlPor regulation is a failure." says A. J. County, vice president of the Pennsylvania railroad. "Sound credit Is Just as essential in the Milroad business as In mercantile affairs, and a railroad cannot have sound credit without the earning power to pro duce a credit basis."
