Now, kind reader, il you are a parent

think about it and what are you going to
do about it? Can you not trust, in gen

them your co operation without which
they must fail? Shall you never investi

Of all concerned always pays. Then
only are You able form judgments, to say
nothing of expressing them.

Every Line of Industry no "A
Those who say the railway question
does not affect them are often thought
less persons. The prosperity Of our,
railways affects in onefway or another
the whole. country. Our railways first
of all represent an actual money capt.
tai of one-fifth of the assets of the re-
public. One out of every five dollars
we possess as a, nation. Our railways
employ, or would employ today If pros,
porous, over one million persons df-
rect at good wages, One out Of every
twenty-five of the population working
for Il living. Our railways indirectly
employ many thousands more and in
one form or another add to the reve-
nue. of another million. Those who
doubt this should look over the daily
wants of these great distributors of
work and wages. The wants of rail
roads. according TO the observation Of
a gentleman connected with trans
portation enterprises, are only second
to those Of women, which some French
philosopher has said no man can ever
hope to- supply To the casual observer
all that railroad wants is ,roadbed,
ties. steel rails, cars and engines to
pull them. But growing out of these
general features are demands FOR ma
terials OF such variety that the cata

his name implies, has charge of maxi
