Employees Must Have Interest,

above all, better understanding must
be arrived at with the vast army of en-
ployes. They must have greater interest
in the success of the railways and they
must be part of the power that will pro-
duce better understanding with the COM
munties which the railways serve. This
must be done by a system of hospitals
pensions and profit sharing.
Probably locomotives propelled by cleo
tricity will come in the future. If not.
something else may. We cannot tell what
the next few years have in store in the
way of improving our railway facilities.
Higher speed, possibly cheaper trains, but
1t is necessary in this country of ours that
the railways should be encouraged so that
they may go on improving their systems
and building branch lines to every county
seat in the country.
Instead of stopping at $4,000 miles of
railway we should build at least 5000 miles
year in short and inexpensive lines as
feeders to the main system. so that the
days of the stage coach and the heavy
wagons should be unknown.
This country will soon have 1Oo, ,OOO, 00G
of people. 1t will require at least $50 OuO
miles of railways to serve them properly
an increase Of 40 per cent over the present
mileage. They cannot be built they cannot
be improved and increased with the pres-
ent prejudice against them. The develop-
ment of the country demands that this must
be changed. In the centuries that have gone
the youth of the various countries sought
fame and prefernent in war and its ac-
COMMITMENTS.
I'VE live III better days and in a higher
civilization but the service of our railways
offers a wider field for achievement and for
fame than anything of old The road ia
success in this line is not through carDacs
and suffering, but 1T is none the less surs
and requires equally moral courage and i'm.
telligence. A new evangel must be preach
| ed in reference to railways. They must he
placed upon higher order, and instead OF
being parahs in business they must he the
