AT last, he went to St. Peter at the
golden gate and, confessing that 1t was
by cheating that he had passed through,
he begged for a pass-out ticket to see
how his old friends were doing down
below.
There he found an enormous crowd
OF well-known betting men and women
in a low and suffocating room. They
were being formed to play bridge. with
no stakes. and in dead silence. For
some time he watched the faces OF the
players, in which rage, despair, and
hatred were depicted. The passion 70
play awoke once more In him, and he
lost his return ticket TO heaven.
1T was secured by a noted and fash

with the ticket from the gambling
saloon, asking for the iron gates.
There she was met by Satan. who.

the United States are coming to a
more perfect sense of the responsible
ity of the relation which they bear -
the public. and of the dignity of that
relation. They are public servants III
the highest and fullest sense. IN
deed there is not a brakeman nor .
Iswitchman upon the most remote road
in the land who does not fill n public
function and render 4 service of large
public usefulness. We begrudge Meth
er honor nor reward TO these men 10
whom we entrust our lives ana our
property.
Behind these active workers in the
railroad field are those who have tha
determination of railroad policies.
These men are entitled to great re-
wards; and in return public opinion is
right in holding them 10 Il rigid &C,
countabi}ity for the way they perform
their public duties. For several months
past some. if not all. of our roads have
been in condition of extreme cOnges
ton. Doubtless this is mainly due IL
the fact that the country has OutgrOwn
its railroads. that our prosperity has in
creased ut such a rate that the most
lSanguine and optimistic railroads have
been unable to keep pace with it
growth. But it is also true that ordin
airy methods of operation. which hol,
good in a placid time of steady an,
regular movement. should at a time o
crisis yield to the imperative necessi
ties of public need.
Dependence on Railroads.

state can by legislation effectually cope
with these powerful corporations en-
gagged in interstate commerce, and,
while doing them full justice, exact
from them in return full justice to-
others. The conditions of railroad ac-
tivity. the conditions of our immense
interstate commerce, are such as to
make the central government alone
competent TO exercise full supervision
and control.
The grave abuses in individual
cases of railroad management in the
past represent wrongs not merely to
the general public, but, above all,
wrongs to fair dealing and honest cor
pOratiOnS and men of wealth, because
they excite popular anger and dis
trust from which the very nature of
the case tends to include in the sweep
of its resentment good and bad alike.
From the standpoint of the public
can not too earnestly say that as soon
as the natural and proper resentment
aroused by these abuses becomes indiS-
criminate and unthnking, it also be
comes not merely unwise and unfair,
but calculated to defeat the very ends
which those feeling it have in view.
Continue 10 Hunt Them Down.
There has been plenty of dishonest
work by corporations in the past. There
will not be the slightest let-up in the
effort to hunt down and punish every
dishonest man. But the bulk of our
business is honestly done. In the naI-
ural Indignation the people feel over
the dishonesty it is all-essential that
they should not lose their heads and

damage in the business world, and
would produce such distrust of the agi
ItatOrs that in the revuIsiOn the distrust

sincere and sane fashion, are trying tC
remedy the evils.
Need Better Facilities.
The great need of the hour. from
the standpoint of the general public
OF the producer. consumer, and shipper
aiike-is the need for better transpOr
tation facilities, for additional tracks
additional terminals, and improvements
in the actual handling Of the railroads
and all this with the least possible de
lay. Ample. safe, and rapid transpor
tation facilities are even more neces
sary than cheap transportation. Thu
prime need is for the investment o
money which will provide better ter
minal facilities. additional tracks, anC
a greater number of cars and locomC
