No better evidence of the importance of
enterprise and Hberality in the manage
ment of a great corporation can be needed
than that supplied by President Phillips of
the Metropolitan Street Railway Company
in his statement yesterday to the effect
that the business and revenues of that line
have been seriously impaired by the di-
version of travel from it's cars to those
of other lines. That there has been such
diversion there can be doubt. 1t was
natural that 1t should be so. 1t was, more
over perfectly just, because that result
was the direct consequence of the mistaken
policy of Its former management. Had it
been quick and earnest to supply better
accommodations and rapid transit to its
patrons there would have been no such
diversion Of travel as has been complained
of. On the other hand instead of falling
off, there would have been a prompt and
large increase in its travel and receipts
This is conclusively proven by the history
and experience of such corporations every
where. Progress means prosperity, and
niggardly obstinacy means stagnation and
decay every time. Any concern dealing
with the great public, and depending upon
1t for patronage and success, which re-
quire5 both the spur of outraged public
sentiment and the goad of punitive legisla-
ton to make 1t keep up to the times Is
bound to go to the wall. sooner or later.
There is, happily, good reason for believ-
ing that under it's present management the
cid do-nothing policy will no longer pre-
vail, and on this prospect both the public
and the shareholders in the company are
to be congratulated.
