WHEN RAILROADS BEGIN BUYING
The railroads appear to be making good the im- !
plied promise made before the Interstate Commerce ,
Commission granted the increased freight rates so j
earnestly sought by the Eastern roads, that if the ;
increases were allowed the railroads would begin
the long delayed purchases of much-needed equip- !
ment. The news has contained many indications >
recently that the roads are beginning to enter the j
market for steel rails, new rolling stock and other j
equipment, and the following quotation from the
financial page of the New York "Sun" this morn
ing is a fair sample of this kind of gratifying in
formation :
Predictions that substantial improvement in demand for
steel would be witnessed with the turn of the new year
ha\e been fulfilled. Producers reported yesterday a much
better inquiry from the railroads, and some fairly large
orders were also placed. The tonnages purchased generally
range from 30 per cent, to 50 per cent, below normal, but
manufacturers express satisfaction over the appearance of
better demand. Inquiries and orders for rails were esti
mated at about 400,000 tons. There was also a vast im
provement in the equipment market, where inquiry for
about 12,000 cars was reported.
The encouraging thing about this sort of news
is that it means more than merely the railroads are
looking forward to better business conditions. The
placing of orders for rails, cars, locomotives, bridge
materials and so forth means more work for the
big steel mills and other plants. Such a condition
of course means employment for idle men and it
also means that investors, who have been keeping
their money stuck away in their stockings will
likely be led to gain confidence and be more in
clined to invest their capital in places where it will
make possible the revival of industry in many dif
ferent directions.
It is a theory commonly accepted in financial
circles that when the railroads start buying it fore
shadows general industrial revival. The accuracy
of the theory often has been upheld by fact and
there is no reason to believe it will be otherwise in
the present case if the railroad buying reaches pro
portions that there are reasonable grounds now for
hoping it will.
THE READING OP PREPARED PAPERS
The reading of carefully prepared papers on as
signed topics at conventions or a lesser gatherings
is a cherished custom, perhaps because there is
comparatively little difficulty undergone in writing
out one's thoughts or tabulating statistics and
then getting up in public and reading them. The
smoothest way is followed, .so far as the readers of
the papers are concerned, yet it seems that audi
ences ought to be taken into consideration.
Amoug the most tiresome occupations conceiv
able is that of sitting through the reading of a
paper in the accomplishment of which the reader
speaks in but two or three' different tones of voice,
seldom lifts his eyes from the manuscript and seems
to take no livelier interest in the proceeding than
that of correctly and perhaps clearly pronouncing
the occasional big words which he appropriated
from Websters in the writing of his weighty contri
bution to the meeting.
Many papers thus read are of course valuable for
the facts which they present, and more is the pity
that they should be read at all, in the conventions.
When a person has vital things to say, why doesn't
HARRISBURG BTAR-INDEPENDENT, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 5. 1915,
he eome out in front of an audience and say them,
without grasping at sheets of paper for support?
An audience feels that it is actually being ad
dressed when a speaker looks straight at it, says
what he thinks and gets off his subject just enough
to show that he knows a thing or two aside from
his theme.
If a man who is on the program of a meeting,
large or small, cannot do all that he had better
have his talk printed and distribute the copies. He
would thus make it much more effective than by
getting up and trying to read it.
When a man comes from a distance to address a
meeting and reads what he has to say. one cannot
help feeling sometimes thai he should have mailed
the manuscript for someone else to read, thus sav
ing much time and carfare.
m
BLOOD MEN'S STRANGE BUSINESS
The soldiers who spill their blood on fields of
battle may be heroes, but New York's professional
"blood donors" are the persons who are profiting
by the business in cold cash. These donors make
their livelihood by selling their blood for trans
fusion. Their sacrifice is made not on a smoky
battlefield but in a hospital operating mom; their
blood flows not in unchecked streams, but with
scientific supervision, and their reward is not vain
glorious death but personal checks signed by the
patients into whose veins their warm, life-sustain
ing fluid is injected.
The blood men have a profitable business and
although a strange one there can be no reasonable
objections made to it. Since blood-transfusion has
become common there are repeatedly demands for
blood donors and the willingness of the men who
have entered the transfusion business to submit to
operations may be the meaus of saving many lives.
Their purposes are of course mercenary, yet that
which prompts them to yield their blood does not
govern the effectiveness of the fluid.
Friends are often willing to give their blood to
save the lives of patients requiring transfusion, but
the blood offered in so fine a spirit is not always
suitable for the operation. The professional donors
are picked men and their blood, yielded not for love
or for glory but for greenbacks or checks, will gen
erally accomplish the purposes of the surgeons.
Persons are too often inclined to be shocked at
instances when acts of loving consideration are
commercialized. —when money is accepted for serv
ices which human kindness aloue is supposed to
perform. Certainly the hired mourners at funerals,
of which we have often heard, are worthy of our
contempt, but that is because we are led to con
sider them as frauds.
The intentions of the blood men are honest,
though mercenary, and their business cannot be
considered other than legitimate. It does not be
hoove persons to criticise them, at least, who are
unable or unwilling to act as their substitutes.
On the last lap Ambler just ambled in.
Think of the wear and tear on the county's books with
so much auditing'.
A big stick bobbed up from somewhere between 4 p. m.
yesterday and the time for the Republican caucus on the
House Speakership in the evening.
With song and rejoicing the bill's and bears resumed

TOLD IN LIGHTERVEIN
BUT IT WASN'T
The parson was preaching out of town and he went into
a barber shop and got a shave. The porter brushed a hat
and handed it to the parson, who donned it in a absent
minded way. The parson dined at the home of a pillar at
the church that evening, and the guests wcrp all strict
church members. When the guests were leaving the host
handed them their hats. The host looked inside one hat
to see the name and seemed deeply shocked.
"Is this your hat?" asked the host.
"Yes," replied the parson. "That is mine."
The host handed the hat to the parson, and he glanced
at the inside of the band before donning it. And there,
pasted into the crown of the hat, was a card bearing this
legend:
"No. you darned fool. This ain't your hat." —Exchange.
HIS READY RETORT
An Irishman visiting London for the first time noticed
hanging on the door bell of a fine mansion a sign, reading:
"Please ring the bell."
Pat went up and rang the bell. Immediately a footman
appeared and asked him what he wanted. Pat said he
rang the bell because the sigm said to do so. The footman
smiled and exclaimed:
"Oh, I see; you come from the land where nanny goats
grow on gooseberry bushes."
Pat, angered, replied:
"But in London von see more wonderful sights. You
have only to ring a bell and a monkey pops out."—Ex
change.
THE LAST WORD
Two Pullman porters, representing different railroads,
met off duty and progressed from friendly gossip to heated
argument. Their quarrel centered about which one worked
for the better road. Their claims, figures and arguments
came fast and furious. At last the tall, thin porter settled
t&e dispute with these classic words: "Oo on, niggah! We
kills mo' people den you fellahs tote."—San Francisco
Dispatch.
CRAMPED QUARTERS
An Alaska pioneer was telling how crowded a certain
ship was during the gold rush. One day a man came up
to the captain and said:
"You will have to get me some place to sleep."
"Where have you been sleeping!"
"Well." the passenger replied, "I have been sleeping on
a sick man. but he's getting better now and won't stand
for it."—St. James' Gazette.
