THE Ell PASO SHIPPERS
AND THE FREIGHT MEN.

Such meetings as that held yester-
day at the chamber of commerce, to
talk over matters of freight rates with
the great systems centering here, are
useful more in the way of affordinS an
opportunity to get acquainted than
for the possibility they present of ac-
tually readjusting any discrepancies. 1t
might be we'll il even less were said
about the troubles of the shippers. I'M
less the complaints could be made
specific, and backed up by carefully
compiled figures.
When a man like Mr.. German comes
to town, and a meeting is arranged,
there is no need of bringing up before
him all the troubles of the shippers
ON other roads than his own. Ger
tainIY is obvious that the freight
agent of the Santa Fe cannot reduce
the freight rate to TorreoD, or to Tue
son. Little good is accomplished by
bringing up such irrelevant matters.
Indeed. they rather tend to give the
visitor the impression that since all
the roads are pursuing the same gen
eral policy there is not much need OF
his road doing anything. When man
wants something in the way of salts
faction or justice or favors out OF an
other man, it weakens his case TO tell
all the troubles he has with ten or a
dozen other men. The thing to do is
to approach the spotted individual as
IL your little dispute with him was
the only dark spot in an otherwise
bright and happy life, and show him
by facts and figures, not where he is
wrong. but where he can make money
by giving you little better deal.
There is no doubt that there are GER
tain inequalities in Ell Paso freight
rates that should be adjusted. And
there is further no doubt that better
satisfaction will always be got from
headquarters than from any subordi-
nate officer of the company. Still more,
it is we'll known to every business man
that a personal acquaintance with a
correspondent, however slight. insures
more careful treatment than if he were
an utter stranger. Hence much good
is certain to result from these meet
ings with freight men, in the way of
opening their eyes to the Importance
of the problems of this section. and
giving them that glimpse of the per-
sonality of Ell Paso shippers that
makes correspondence vital and inter
esting.
The railroad people of course rec
ommend that all such business be car
ried on through local agents. With all
due regard for the local agents sta

When Bishop Potter speaks he gen.
orally says something worth while.
Asked to express his opinion upon the
distinguishing feature of the religious
life of the end of the century just
closed, the bishop said, THE growth of
candor as to the defect of the present
system of ecclesiastical life and work.
and the wide endeavor to rise to the
demands of the modern social situation
upon the part of Christian people"
Bishop Potter's clean cut, honest ex-
preston. which touches sympathetic
chords in the hearts of so many earn
est people, contrasts Strikingly with
the expressions of other noted minis
tiers. who seemingly tried to speak as
vaguely and evasively as possible. One
said that he thought the central
revived spirit" Another thought the
religious awakening" Another thinks
it was the New Thought movement or
the movement for spiritual healing"
Compared with these academic and I'M
satisfactory expressions Bishop Pot
ter's rings more truly. more helpfully;
the gist of it is brought out so plainly
recognition of defects and endeavor
to rise to the situation.

There is no doubt that public opin-
ion, in some parts of the country a;
least, lags behind it's duty on the SUD-
ject of good roads. Public opinion. us
ually so intelligent and practical
seems blind to the fact that good roads
streets. and sidewalks are vital fac
tors in success of any sort. The En-
cheering News says: While the peo-
pie of the United States are just be-
ginning to take an interest in the good
roads problem, England is settling that

| The railroads want their agents to
devise means to increase their revenue.
! not decrease it, An agent would be
very foolish to recommend a rate re-
duction unless he could send in with
it an estimate of the increased bust
ness that would result from such re-
duction.
But shippers should get the idea out
of their heads that the railroads are
working against them, that they are
discriminating against Ell Paso, that
they need to be fought" or brought
to terms While railroads are COM
mon carriers, and legally are bound to
maintain perfect equality in rates. yet
it must not be forgotten that railroads
are in business for profit, and not for
charity. Never yet has a shipper or a
town failed to get due consideration
from a railroad if the railroad has
been shown where a proposed change
of rate or change of policy would re-
suit in a profit to the road. 1t is de-
cidedly to the interest of the rail-
roads to build up the cities along their
lines, and encourage the business men
in those cities. A policy of smash or
hinder would be very short sighted
policy. Indeed, so eager are the rail-
roads as a general rule to build up
communities and develop sections,
that there are few organizations that
do more good work without seeing di-
rect returns, than do the railroads.
The proper attitude to assume in
dealing with the railroads is that of
pure, unadulterated business. The |
shipper should be prepared to show the !
railroad where it can gain business |
and make money by making a better |
rate. He should ask no favors with |
out assuring an adequate return. More |
over, such demands or requests as are |
made should be specific, and they
should be entirely reasonable. II the
shipper thinks a thirty cent rate would

By "An English Liberal" in the Jan
uary Forum.

The general election just completed
has not annihilated the Liberal party.
but it has demonstrated its impotence.
In this paper an attempt is made, from
behind the scenes, to make the real
operative causes of the collapse irtel-
ligible to others. Mr.. Chamberlain is
not an adapt in asking too much. He
never expected to wipe out liberalism.
He wished to stop the pendulum. and
has succeeded. The pessimists go fur
ther, and those who hate liberal ideas
are naturally exultant. They believe
they have at last got everything their
own way. They have captured the
press; they have misled the proleta-
riat; they have rushed the sober
middle class with dazzling dreams of
1ver expanding markets. If free speech
is not bludgeoned to silence, as N the
crisis of the war fever, men are still
being cowed into insincere compromise
with conscience. Parliamentary indie
pendence has been crushed to order.
Parliamentary morality has been
dul1ed to lower standards of personal
honor. A scene such as that last Feb
ruary, when Mr.. Chamberlain was SOL
EMMY whitewashed by his party after
declining to face the inquiry or to pro-
duce the documents which would es-
tablish his guilt or innocence. left the
worst impression on those who love the
house of commons.
The manipulation of "world-politics'
by great financial bosses" seems as
sured. At no period since the Stuart
restoration has reaction achieved such
victory over the freedom and sinceri-
| ty of thought and action. From the
! current press. and from the chatter of
| club smoking rooms. the dodo is not
more extinct than the Eng1ishmen of
the days of Kossuth or MaZzini, or the
Englishmen who rose in their might
| to denounce the Bulgarian maSSacreS
of 1876. or even the Englishmen in
whose hearts five years ago the almost
dying appeal of the greatest English
man of the age arouse an echo of the
old sentiments over the CHASTITY hor-
rors of Armenia. The cynicism of Rud-
yard Kipling seems to rule supreme;
and in such an atmosphere liberalism
cannot thrive.
May not the South African war have
been a "wire-puller's" as well as a
Capitalists war? According to our
witty diarist, Mr.. George Russell. this
very trick was foreseen five years ago
by an old parliamentary hand. 1T is
always difficult for an opposition to
oppose government conducting Il
war: and our friend Chamberlain is
the very man to take advantage of
that"
AS regards the liberals two points
are plain. The party, as whole. fail
ed ANONYMOUSLY to play the strong
cards as to the war. Petty details as
to hospitals and commissariat and
such episodes as the Spion Kop dis
patches were taken up instead of the

When the time comes that every

self to some degree to see tina: the
laws are enforced. there will be nigh

We allow men to be elected to execu-
tive offices whom we cannot trust. and
then we thrust upon them not only
the duties attaching to their positions
under the laws, but also the duties
that really belong to the individual
citizens. There should be constant
vigilance on the part of the people at
large, and due credit should be given
when a public officer conducts him
self meritoriously, while public and
severe censure should be ready for
acts that are unworthy of a public Off
