From the New York Journal Of Commerce
It is not true that the present difficulty
in raising capital for railroad improve
ments or other enterprises is due to at
tacks upon corporations" or hostility
against railroads" The reasons for Il
have been plainly shown and are gener-
ally understood. But so far as the great
corporate interests have been discredited
and so far as their efforts may be ham
pered by distrust il is due 70 the expos
ure Of past derelictiOns and 20 persist
ency on the part OF some Of their man
ayers in methods which can never be &C
cepted as in accordance with just princi-
pies and sound policy. The effort 10
establish and enforce a higher standard
OF corporate action is not likely TO be re-
mitted and the way 20 prevent II from
being misdirected or carried beyond the
necessary limit is for all honorable and
conservative men to join In its support
upon the right lines and within the
proper limits.

PRESIDENT AND RAILROADS.
Divergent Views as TO His RespOn-
sibiIity for Present situation.

From the New York Evening Post
W. c. Brown, senior vice president Of
the New York Central lines. is unhappy
because people do not love our railways.
In order to allay this irritation, Mr..
Brown would have President Roosevelt
who is our ever-present help in time OF
trouble-make IAN appeal for fair and
reasonable treatment for the railways.
Such an appeal" Mr.. Brown assures
US, would clear the atmosphere and re-
store confidence as nothing else can do -
Without Undertaking. IN the least the
potency of our Presidents words, We
suggest another remedy which we cannot
but regard as more effective: that our
railway managers so conduct their enter
prises as to win public sympathy and
support Such a change may seem 70 Mr..
Brown too revolutionary, but we are
none the less confident OF the blessed re-
suits Appeals from Presidents, Senator'S.
cIergymen, Journalists, and even Chan
ceIlor James r. Day himself. can accom-
plish nothing permanent unless the rail-
WAYS themselves go TO the root Of the
trouble by removing what Burke calls
the very ground Of the difference" There
is no hope OF peace for our railways until
their managers grasp the notion that a
public service corporation is not mere
private undertaking, but is great public
institution.
