Let the People Reflect.

When railroad companies are de-
nounced because they appeal from
what they believe to be an unreason-
able decision against them, is 1t not
time for some men OF business to
pause and consider? Has 1t come to
this. that railroad companies must sub
nit to any and every exaction of law,
and never dare to appeal TO higher
court? Are they not to nave the same
standing in law that other corpora
tons enjoy? Are they to be outlawed?
1t cannot be denied that the railroad
managers themselves are responsible
for the prejudice that exists against
railroads Many Of them have been
arrogant and Indifferent to public
opinion. not to say to tho public in
terest There are others who have
disobeyed and defed the law, and there
is Edward H. Hartman (sic).
But are the people going to destroy
the railroads because the managers
have misbehavcti? 1t is serious qucs-
ton, and if citizens in general knew
just how serious it is, public sentiment
would change; for the American peo-
pie are not fools. The railroads are
large borrowers, and some one has said
that while the Car of Russia may
impose taxes ad libitun, he cannot
borrow money without the consent of
the lender The railroads are overrun
with business and there is an urgent
demand for better service--a far great
er demand among business men than
there is for reduction Of rates. But
the railroads cannot give q better ser
vice unless they can increase their
facilities, and they cannot buy engines
and cars without money. The public
are demanding better service, and all
sorts of supplies and labor have great
~ advanced in price; yet the railroads
are compelled to reduce rates, and, by
reason of hostile legislation and hostile
sentiment, they find it difficult to raise
money to, enlarge their facilities. The
people are defeating their own ends,
and it is timS .they.were having rcck-
oning with Themselves. The discussion
has passed beyond all questions Of
ethics; the question now is. How long
can the railroads stand the strain?
