Railroad Education.

If the agitation concerning the
railroads does nothing more it will
educate the country up to some idea
of what raAroading means. The
majority of the people seem to be
under the impression that the receipts
of the railroads from passengers and
freight traffic must of necessity be
large and therefore privileges should
be given more cheaply. Governor
Hughes, President Finley and many
others who have common sense as
some knowledge of the matter and
sense of fairness have openly stated
that legislation as we'll as agitation
has been carried on, without either
adequate knowledge or any attempt
to gain any. Certainly the attacks
made by shippers and demagogues
have resulted in replies of far more
value to the nation that the attacks
could have warranted. W. J. Murphy,
Vice President of the Queen and
Crescent Route, in his reply to the
statement of the Receivers and
Shippers Association, of Cincinnati,
Is an example of this. His road was
charged with earnings of s2 50 per
freight train mile, whereasotherr roads
averaged sl.s9. On the face of this a
demand would be made for reduction
it has already been made. Mr.
Murphy points out what others have
not known or have ignored, that the
freight trains of that road are hauled
by two engines instead of one, as is
the case on other roads, entailing,
naturally, far greater expense per
freight train mile. Further it Is shown
by figures, that while expenses have
increased in the cost of labor and
materials during the past two years,
receipts have actually shown a de-
crease per mile in freight as well as
passenger returns. 1t Is also clearly
demonstrated that the majority of the
earnings have returned into the prop.
erty in the shape Of extensions, im'
provements and otherneeded advance.
ments. These matters should be given
the same prominence in the various
newspapers the country over which
the criticisms receive. Evils which
may have crept in must be corrected
but time alone will have to do that
In the meanwhile, the American sense
OF Justice should hurry little faster
to the front, and Americans should
not allow their most important indus
tries to be played upon for politica
purposes. Wall st. Daily News.
