of the road from the report OF tho
Estate commissioners engineer, which
nc supnoscs,nustEhayc cost money
/. ann glad that We have such a
papcrS as the Panhandle, . that viii
look after, your road and yentllate
the question and mako your road
Fix up, so it will-not wreck, inImo
and ncgloctinGlyskill our people.
Mr.. Doran talks about foolish
fbabbling," Now, sir this is business
and don't think for one moment that
such words MS these arc going TO
make MS let up on your road for we
will stay with you until it is fixed
safe for travel SO YOU had as we'll
get down to business, too.
We are not after damage suits
now, but We arc after that road so
there will be no damage suits grow
ing out of such conductin the future.
A railroad company is chWtcred
| by the state OF Texas, as the Denver
was, with the express understanding
that they serve the people, In other
words, your road and you, If YOU
are its employee, as htahc you 70 be,
are the peoples servants and the law
is your charter supplemented by the
great. common law and our statutes
aand if you don't give as good service
your charter viii be forfeited and
| the state will take charge OF the
road aud you will loose your job
Again, Mr., Doran, when you mako
tho statement as you did in that open
letter, that ! looked up damage suits
YOU know It is untrue, If IL was
true, your road and its employees
would have had me- indicted lopg
ago. Your road has been guilty Of
such bad conduct, It Is not necessary
for a lawyer, that Is not afraid 60
fight you, to look up suits, he has
enough to occupy his time with those
that come to him, This same disre-
gard for the primary rights OF per
sonal security makes plenty of good
suits against your road which you
fightin the courts wit hthc Free
pass system" as you arc trying TO
do with the Daily Panhandle. do
not like your claim agents they go
TO the injured man before he gets
off the ground. where he Is injured
and bleeding and try TO bull doze
him into signing a release If they
can aud never see him until hcsends
for me. No honest man is afraid Of
the courts or damage suits or inves-
tirations but the guilty only fear
such things, that is what makes a
criminal get counsel.
Further Mr. Doran yau ask the
Daily Panhandle, in round about
way TO 60 TO the management and
get "free pass" that is your fort,
Won have given state and county of
ricials and others, passes or many
of them at least, until you think the
road owns the state by the free pass
system.
Our Daily Panhandle is not the kind
Of a paper to sell ont to you, You
noint II to Fort Worth and Dallas
and their newspapers; we reply that.
YOU may have bought them | don't
lrow That is what is the matter
with you; you think, what you, cant
huv YOU can bull doze. Cut ittout
for YOU can't cut her. Again yo0I
tell MS how much benefit YOU nave
been to MS, al
Did YOU do all this for Amarillo
and the Panhandle because you loVed
'usq Don't talk about rot any more
What you giving us! "ha' 'h'' o'u
has done for the Panhandle was done
because of the money there was mi
It to your road and you know ~
Won ask the Daily Panhandle to put
Won next" and if it has an axe 'oI
grind to come out in the open. TheI
Dailv Panhandle has come out in the
omen. You want to know what nj
10 so you can fix it. Now VIII
toll YOU Mr.. Doran, what 1t wants.
and now here put you next vi
wants you to quit making excuses
and fix your road, so there will bel
no damage suits to hunt mp from thatI
source. you may think that costs
van too much, if so step down and
ont and. Old Texas will take it hkeI
she did when Governor Hogs was AMI
official; she took that East line road
