Editorial Notes.

Some six weeks ago, this paper called at
tenton to the fact that the States of the I'm
ion had full power to deal with the railroad
corporations Since that time the procession
has been moving right along. State after
State has asserted its power against its cor
poration bosses. and the result is that the
bosses are in panic So far, good.
Less than two years ago the Railroad Pres
idents were mocking and defyng the Federal
Government The corporation kings hotlv
resented rate regulation by Congress. Sam
uel Spencer, President of the Southern, de-
nounced the proposed Roosevelt plan of REQ
ulation as "Lynch Law" and spent tens of
thousands of dollars of the Southern's earn
ings in lobbying against the measure in
Washington.
Had Spencer spent the same amount of
money in improving the service his road,
he might be alive today
But note the changes wrought by time.
The Railroad Presidents are now grovelling
at the feet of Mr.. Roosevelt, begging for
more Lynch Law"
They plead for Federal Control to save
themselves from State attacks.
Yes, the States can master the corporations,
if we can just get honest men elected Gov
ernors, and honest men elected to the Legis-
latures
We can break up every Trust if we are
united and determined. We can drive out the
Standard Oil thieves, the Lumber Trust rob-
bers, and Wall Street pirates generally.
All we need is to go after them in the same

No Dibine Right in Business.

No Dibme Right in Business.
1t is soberly claimed by people who ought
to have better sense that money invested in
railroad property is entitled to a profit.
Plausible assertions carry, sometimes, the
force of argument, and we therefore, find
many thoughtess editors, and other public
men, weakly admitting that money invested
in railroad property has a right to profit.
Will you, my dear reader, please chew on
this proposition little bit before you gulp it
down?
From what source does money invested i'll
railroad property derive its title to profit
From what high and holy fount comes this
peculiar claim in behalf Of railroad capital?
Shall we establish an Order Of Nobility in
the commercial world?
Shall one special kind of investment rule
by Right Divine?
Consider. for a moment! Five citizens en-
ter the business world to invest their money.
These citizens are equals before the law. Their
money is just common money-coin current
of the realm.
Mr.. A. invests in Book store.
Mr.. B. in Barber shop.
Mr.. G. in a newspaper.
Mr.. d. in dry goods, or grocery store.
Does either one of the citizens claim any
special rights over the others? No. Each Of
them knows that he must hustle for custom,
attend to his knitting, economic on expenses,
manage prudentlv, and thus make profit.
Neither of them claims that he is entitled
to a profit. Each of them hopes to earn it.
believes he can earn it, and, therefore, risks
his money. But while this is So each of these
citizens realizes that his own mistakes, the
changes in business conditions, the ebb and
flow of trade and hundred other things, may
be the cause of his failure to make profit
But here comes the fifth citizen, Mr.. F.,
with wad of money which he chooses to in
vest in railroading. Nobody compels him to
make that investment. He acts of his own
free will. With ewes open he walks into the
market and buvs railroad stocks and bonds.
All right-that's his privilege. But the mo-
ment he has made his purchase, he puffs him
self up with arrogance, and greedily claims
THAT he is entitled to a net Profit.
Why SO?
What rights have his dollars over those in
vested in the Book store, the Barber shop, the
Newspaper and the Store?
Are not all five of these citizens free and
equal? Is not the money of each of them
equally sacred in the eyes of the law?
The citizen who keeps the Book store does
not demand that the State shall guarantee
him net Profit. That's his lookout IF he
doesn't like the returns on his investment he
quits the business
So with the publisher, the barber and the
merchant.
But your pampered railroads must be guar
anteed profit!
Why so?
The State does not control this business:
why, then, should the State answer for re-
Weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-03-28

How then can they demand to be left un
taxed or unbridled in their charges, until
they have first made clear Profit?
We say to them: Manage your roads right,
and you will earn net Profit.
But even if you don't, that's nobody's affair
but yours
You voluntarily bought your stock. You
are equally at liberty to sell it. You can quit
the railroad business, if you wish. No law
compels YOU to stay in it. If you will get off
our Public Roads, the State will get on.
Suppose you do lose money-will you be
the only one? Thousands of merchants fail
every year Thousands of bankers, miners,
LAWYERS, publishers, BARRIERS, hotel-keepers
fail everv year Why, then, should the rail
roads not get caught, once in while, like the
common run of us?
THEY MUST TAKE THEIR RISKS
LIKE THE REST OF US.
Let us set up no Privileged Class in bust
ness.
Let us have no Aristocracv created bv law.
Let lis have no absurd and vicious doctrine
of Divine Right applied to Dollars put into
Railroads.
Away with such dangerous heresies!
When the citizen buvs railroad stock, let
him understand that he TAKES HIS
CHANCES Just as though he were buying
shares in a Grocery Company, a Lumber
Company, an Oil Mill or a State Bank.
If any corporation LAWYER thinks this is not
sound logic let him prance into the columns
of the Teffersonian and expose the fallacy.
He shall have fair fight. Come along, my
son!
Weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-03-28

spirit that would animate us were there a
gang of plunderers in the homes.
What we have chiefly to fear is the insid-
ious arts of the lobbyist, the weakness of the
habby editor, and the dishonesty of those who
hold high places.
We must watch, as we'll as pray.
The rumor that Mister Colonel Scott, who
manages the Georgia Railroad for Wall
Street. has supplied each engineer with a tai
low candle to be used as an addition to the
oil lamp headlight at night, proves to have
been unfounded. We didn't take much stock
in the report from the first.
President Finley of the Southern Railway
System has been down to Atlanta talking
sWeetly to the Chamber of Commerce.
Talk is cheap, and railroad presidents are
flooding the country with it just now. New
ertheless, they continue to pour water into
the Stocks and to shed the blood of the pas
sengers who patronize their roads.
IF the said Presidents don't wake up to the
fact that there are other people to be con-
vinced and placated besides those who con-
stitute "Chambers of Commerce" they are go
ing to fool themselves badly.
What the masses want AND MEAN TO
HAVE:
CD An honest appraisement of the value
of the railroads, and an end put to this gigan-
tic rascality of stock watering.
(2) Safety appliances adopted that will put
a stop to railway murders growing out of
criminal negligence.
Cd Decent accommodations at all passen-
ger stations.
(4) Obedience to State Constitutions, State
laws, and Federal Statutes.
(5) Reasonable rates and impartial service.
(6) The expenditure of sufficient proper
ton of the earnings on the property itself to
lasting squeezing Of the whole country for
aires must cease. These roads are our roads,
Our convenience, Our benefit and Our safety
now using the railroads of the South and
West merely as instruments of robbery
The people of the South and West are
off their public roads and are going to devote

In his pleasant speech to the pleased Cham
Der of Commerce, President Finley did not
say a word about Restitution. Yet he is
President of a System whose Wall Street
chiefs committed the most high-handed rob

since the days of the Yazoo Fraud.

suits? If the State should take control Of the
property, I grant you that the State would be
responsible for consequences. But these cor
porations resent State interference, defy State
laws, ignore Commission orders, violate the
Federal statutes, MISUSE their Franchises,
lavish their revenues upon unlawful, unneces-
sary and hurtful expenditures, LEAVING
UNDONE A MULTITUDE OF THINGS
THAT OUGHT TO BE DONE TO EARN
SUCCESS!

chiefs committed the most high-handed rob
berry that the people of the South have known

I allude to the quitting and scuttling and

No blacker crime, of it's kind, was ever per-
petrated!
Finley's boss, J. ?. Morgan, was the chief
criminal.
Where is that chief crimna1-he that looted
the Central Railroad and begeared hundreds
of real widows and actual orphans whose lit
tie boards were invested in the stock?
Where is he-THE ROBBER?
Is he in the Penitentiarv, where he belongs?
Is he scorned and Stunned bv all se1f-rc-

No, indeed. A few weeks ago he outbid an
