them. ON the other hand when ran
road is so managed that the first settlers
are squeezed and not given chance 10
get start, having
no MARKET
for their products on account OF higl anu
arbitrary rates, you will ind the coaciies
of that road running empty, or nearly SO.
You will find the freight trains lew anu
far between, and the people on the
line ''cussing' the road and dlscourag-
ing every newcomer from settling on the
line, and things in general running

Mr.. Editor, if you have the least
doubt that l am mistaken ABOUT TINS
matter Just step down to the Union oepot
any morning and note the train OF the
Fort Worth and Denver and COM
mare it to those Of other lines
the Texas and Pacific, for in
! stance-and you VIII be pretty
| well convinced that there is some special
| attraction up the line Of the Denver.
| T,be r.attraction - Is the result OF good
| management and a liberal and progress
sive policy which has never falied 10
canse 3 ttDull together 10y the railroads
and people, without which no raHroad
can be successful. If railroad mai
arenent don It have its employees and the
neoDle on the line with If in this country,
THE UNITED STATES,
# Is generally the fault of the managers
or owners Of the road.
tt the railroad. officials of Texas lines
desiyed an incFease in business, they
and their organs would, IN speaking OF
Texas have an occasional good WORD 10
say for the state and people OF tiit
same. Instead ef this, they never ran

. Mace for capitalists to invest thelI
money ~ that the people tight rail
roads > that railroads don t pay,
etc. If the railroad officials are rlgh'
and have not misrepresented the peo'
ple and state, then the people shoult
change their policy and be more liberia
with the roads. If, on the other mana
the railroads are in the wrong
there should be a change in the manage
ment. 1t is plain to all that things ar
} not as they should be and 1t Is TO-
, much like the work of children to be Tor
