The Courier journal man was wrathy when he
wrote the following
| "There would be more money made by steam
boats than there is if little more reliability and
| punctuality was INDUCED in. II has grown to
be the case that a passenger or shipper can
| place little or no reliance on the time a steam
boat advertises to go. In FACT it Ia s common
nuisance, and should be abated at once. How
can boats expect to be patrenized by passengers
and shippers, when they'll hold out Inducements
to them to go day after day, and finally con-
cluda-as they do sometimes not to go at all.
Suppose the Mail Line and Henderson packets
would "play this game" how long would the
lines last? Suppose railroad trains would fool
people like boats do sometimes? Now, we are
made to "lie right out =" for them sometimes,
and it is no fault OF ours. We don't intend TO u,
help EN- out in it any longer. ANY boat VIII
make money that will be punctual. Punctuallty
and ju dcious advertising will make business for
any boat and boat that will knowingly " fool"
it's patrons ought to starve to DEATH Let them
be punctual and they'll get business, and we will
help them"
