been described, and probably no bet

was a youth of impulses and tried in
turn to become a cobbler, a surgeon

and gave proof of his vast literary at

been accepted as the noblest pieces of
imaginative wrieing produced by a
modern poet, while as literary critic
he had few equals in his generation.

This can be done and would be done, through the

railroad managers STOP GROWING AND GET BUSY, the

people is to deserve it. And if they show by DOING
THINGS that they deserve it, they will have it. Public

An organized movement should be set on foot in

among multitude Of smaller towns and villages the huge
volume of trade and industry which will otherwise pile
on top of that already maSSed in a few gigantic con
gested centers of population.
This great evil has been stimulated, nurSed, and to
large extent created by the short sighted policy of the
railroads in giving exceptionally favorable and
from the great CenterS the rates shipments mi
tated in the smaller cities and manufacturing towns.
And now the inevitable has happened
Commerce is cogged
The terminal facilities OF great city are necessarily
contracted and limited in area.
They cannot be enlarged without tremendous
penditureS.
And in than of the great cities it is prac-
tiCally impossible to enlarge them to keep pace
with the natural growth OF the trade
One needs only look the acres upon acres OF
tracks in the terminal yards of New York or Chicago
Pittburg, any other great city with their intricate
and complicated network of switches and sde-traCks
realize the huge burden with which those terminal
facilities are already ovcrtaXed
On the other hand the small city the manufacture
ing town village where land is cheap and space is
ample, can ineXpensvey provide abundant facilities
for switches and SdetraCks and all conditions needed
for the rapid loading and unloading OF cars laden with
incoming material or merchandise and with out
going products OF the factories or the farms.
As a matter of course, if a systematic and earnest
effort made by the railroads readus the exist
ing transportation congestion by better distribution
of industrial plants it would be incumbent upon all
shippers in such reer localities facilitate by their
active cooperation the speedy loading and unloading
of cars.

among multltudc OF small
cities and manufacturing towns
and villages where ample area
may easily be had for sidings
and switches so that every in
coming or outgoing car may be
handled with expedition.
The railroads should coop
crate with such a movement.
If it were Systematically
worked out, there are enough
freight cars in the country to-
day to promptly handle all the
freight that seeks transportation.
The great cities OF the country
should foster such a movement.
There is not one of them which
is not to-day suffering from the
congestion for which we are pro-
posing a plan of relief.
And many of them are face to
face with the problems Of the
physical and moral degeneration
of the slum and tenement dwell
lerS.
This degeneraCy is more than
a mere question of humanity.
1t is a question of industrial
efficiency.

difficult to locate The shipper will claim the railroad
is at fault and the railroad will claim it is the shipper
who is at fault And everybody concerned in the trans
action of the business of the country is injured.
A Change of Policy Imperative
The country looks to the transportation companies
conduct its transportation business and it is their
duty to do it,
II they do not perform that duty, no man can tell
what the end may be.
Railroad managers and owners protest against gov
eminent ownership.
All the allied advocates OF government ownership
from end OF the country to the other not doing
much promote the idea OF government ownership in
the minds of the people to-day many of the railroads
themselves doing by their shOrsighted policy in
dealing with their own problems.
And unless they themselves find a way mend the
conditions that exist today and find way transact
the transportation business OF the country promptly and
efficiently Notwithstanding any adverse agitation which
may exist, it is than likely that they will force
government ownership within a time so short that
Of the high priests Of the antgovenment owner
ship faith will be startled by the SuddenneSs with which
the people will some day take to themselves the
railroads OF the country and at least try the experiment
of whether they cannot operate them better govern
ment property than they operated to-day in private
ownership.
Every railroad combination smoothes the way
for the advocates OF government ownership.
Many railroad managers are complaining bitterly,
and with much reason against the antralroad agita
ton but they show little insight into the for it,
the way to end it Wisely unwisely, the people

transportation facilities which have caused much
mercia distress Of late may operate in the end to lessen
the aggregate volume Of traffic seeking the great cities
and transfer it to smaller cities and manufacturing
towns where terminal facilities are ample.
An evil oftentnes proves a blessing in disguise
The great drouth which visited the Southwest a num-
Der OF years ago in the end proved enormously benc-
fetal to Southern California.
1t simulated the development of vast underground
water supplies which would otherwise have remained

more scientific application of the water supplies tenn
