Both Sides Wrong!

There Is q SentlmenU iii D u
State that is 80 bitter against the
railroads and corporationsgener|
ally that people who cherish it
could not possibly do justice to
them if they wanted to. There are
folks IN North Carolina who hate
the Southern Railway 30 cordial
ly that they would rejoice in it's
ruin. However, this feeling ofbit-
terness does not obtain among
the people to any very consider.
able extent. They may be misled,
but they would not knowingly do
injustice even to the Southern.
At q time like this it behooves
every citizen to calmly study the
question that arise out ofthis rail
road controversy from all sides
rather than from one. Hasty con
clusions may beharmful. The rail
roads are not the people'senemies
but their friends. They have been
OF incalculable service in develop
ing the State. The Impairment OF
the credit of either or all OF these
great systems would be a calami-
ty. There is a good deal written
about the railroads that is not
true. While they have sinned they
have been somewhat sinned a
gainst. On the other hand, the
lurid picture Of ruin the railroads
andltheirfriends are paintingisal
bosh. Nobody should be deceived
by the the threats Of disaster.
The Southern Railway, we have
no doubt, ismaklng as much mon
ey today as it did under the 3A
and * cent rate. They must be
carrying SO per cent more passen
|gers under the new than under the
old law. The prophecies OF evil
they are making are very tire
some. We dare say if the railroads
were assured the rate reduction
would stop where it is they would
call off theirlawyers and quit, but
they are afraid if they yield this
point otherand greater reduc-
tions be demanded. We would ad
wise our people not to 60 wild or
this question either way. Happy
the candidate who preserves hif
equilibrium in this period OF pas
sion. We need the railroads, and
We must not be unjust to them
but they also need US and would
find life lonesome withoutus. Tht
thing for all Of us to do is to gel
busy with our own affairs and
wait until the Supreme Conrt
speaks on the question, and wher
it does speak the party that il
on the wrong deshould graceful
|ly submit. Until that time, al
this wild warefare on both sidei
is hur tful and senseless. Charity
