community if it were not for the
railroad. Outside of the aid
which the road itself offered it
would have been extremely diff
cult and tedious to bring supplies
to the scene in any other way. If
the railroad had not been in op-
Grafton it would have been days
before any assistance coul | have
arrived. The fire engine could
not have been brought down
from Evansville, the relief sup
plies could not have come from
Louisville. Cloverport happening
to be on the river, would have
enabled supplies to be brought
after considerable delays by
water, but they could not have
been so prompt or so efiicacious,
and if the fire had occurred in an
inland town without railroad
communication the disaster would
have been far more serious.
1t is true that in proffering as
sistance the officials of the rail
road were actuated by a wise
policy as well as humanity. The
fortunes of railroad are indis.
solubly connected with the coun-
try through which it runs. 1t is
as much dependent upon the
prosperity of the people along its
its route as is a great city by the
back country. No State can re-
main prosperous without an am
pie number of railroad systems,
and no railroad can secure profit
unless the territory through
which it runs is in good business
condition.
The time has come for ambi-
tious politicians to realize that
they cannot permanently sup
port their fortunes by indiscrim-
mating warfare against capital.
Texas has tried this before Gov.
Hogg, of the Lone Star State,
staked his political existence in
a fight against railroads and in
an effort to keep foreign capital
out of the State. The people of
Texas preferred Hogg to the rail,
roads and the largest State in the
country in point Of territory has
about the smallest mileage. Cap
ital now shuns Texas as it would
Central America, and the growth
of the State has been retarded
for generation.
1t is well enough to insist that
railroads should be required to
bear their share of the public
burdens and that special privi-
leges should be given charity, but
for the mere sake of distributing
a few offices among a selfish set
of politicians to prevent the
building of more railroads or to
discourage those that we have to
make further Improvements is
little less than suicidal folly. 1t |
is safe to predict that the people

The Lesson Of the Cloveport Disaster

From the Louisville Post, March 10
The prompt action of the Louis
vile, Henderson and st. Louis
Railway in throwing open its
property in the vicinity of Glow
export for the accommodation OF
the sufferers of the recent dis
astrous fire in that city and the
no less generous action of the
same road in chartering a relief
train at its own expense and for
warding supplies on the same
day should serve as an object les
son to the entire State and is a
crushing rebuke to those grasp
ing politicians who, for several
years, have made hostility to
railroads their sole battlecry.
It was, of course, to be expected
that the people of Breckinridge
county, the citizens of Louisville,
Henderson and Owensboro would
hasten to the assistance of the
inhabitants of the stricken city.
The destruction Of Cloverport
was a disaster that affected the
entire State Of Kentucky. 1t
would be impossible for even the
coldest hearted TO withhold sym
pathy to the people of the historic
town ont the Ohio, who, almost in
the twinkling of an eye, saw their
entire business portion and many
of their residences swept out Of
existence. The aid so prompt
ly proffered was, therefore, more
in the nature Of the payment of
AN insurance policy than Of a gift.
Any other city in the State would
have expected and received the
same assistance under similar
conditions, and if it had been
Cloverport that had been saved
and some other city that had suf-
fered the people of Breckenridge
county would not have been be-
hind in their contributions. The
only possible consolation for the
disaster is that it has perhaps
served to draw the people of the
country and the people OF the
city closer together and to show
them in times of trouble they
can depend OH each other.
The action of the railroad was
different in many ways from that
of the State. 1t has been SO often
the custom in the past few years
in this State for orators TO de-
scribe railroads as soulless corpo-
rations, entirely devoid of any
feeling for the people and rather
preferring to crush and enslave
than to be of any real benefit,
that some worthy people have
been taught to believe that only
harm can come from "a railroad.
II is terrible to consider what
might have been the fate of Glow
erport or what might have been
the fate of any similarly stricken
