Art and the Railroads.

Four of the greater railroads have
employed an architect and landscape
gardener lin one person. to adorn
their stations. Grounds are to be
laid out, artistic schemes of color
arranged for painting the station
buildings, and plans made for remov-
ing or otherwise overcoming scars
on the landscape viewed from the car
window.
Commercialism is very possibly at
the bottom of this move. Even so.
it is a commercialism that ought to
comfort instead of exasperating US.
For it must be based on the calcu-
lation that a system thus cared for
has more pulling power" than one
held down to the attractions of Sec
ond-shaved schedules, through trains
and no stops for water. In its turn
that argument leads to the conclu-
sion that either the railroad has
tardily become deferential or our ma
tional taste has lifted; and either
condition should make us smile from
ear TO ear.
