ENTERPRISE.

w d112N J1ilCI PRISE.
What has the people got against
the Railroads.&c." asks the railroad
masnate. DO they not bring fnan-
clal prosperity to any community
through which they pass?" Yes. do
they not quicken social life?" Ger
tainly. DO they not help to advance
education and facilitate missionary
e~nterprise?' Of course. All this and
more is freely granted. What then
IS the cor2plaint?" Well some people
think that the general public is suf-
hciently advanced in intelligence as to
be able to understand the general
principles of ~railroading and that.
therefore, the atmosphere OF secrecy
that surrounds such enterprise should
be dispelled. And in that this is not
done it creates in our minds the no.
ton that there Is sometime there
which it is necessary TO keep cloaked
from the public. incidentally. too, we
obiect 10 being told that trains are
only 30 minutes late when they are

We object to your Ions continued

The situation would have been suf-

had the public been fully informed
that the Times had accepted a re-

That was a pretty scheme the Raj

undertook. The railway was to hold
no stock in the company that publish

few thousand dollars for its services.
The smaller papers that were open
for graft we're to publish articles in the
interest Of the road and the Times was
to give such matter wider circulation.

space was not worth tenth of that
big sum. Mr.. Drewry, when he was
running for Office, ooked solemn ana

in q caro- stating that he had received
the money and while he was Senator
