Great Western Railroad, pointed out
the peril ahead for railroads in what
Mr.. Stickney called railroad batting"
Mr.. Stickney said it was bound to
bring on disaster to the country at
large, and Mr.. Truesdale predicted that
it would work great wrong and in
justice to the railroad interests of the
country, and in SO doing injure its
general business interests Mr..
Truesdale confessed that mo doubt
there is some justification for this
feeling" of hostility.
If the railroads recognize, as their
presidents say they do, any justifica-
tion for public antipathy they should
make all haste to end the justifying
cause. Merely to deplore in annual
reports, in speeches, and in public
interviews the antagonistic sentiment
and to point out it's dangers can do
no good. 1t is attempting to sweep
back the sea. To say, as Mr.. Trues-
dale does, that much of it is unjust,
exaggerated, unreasonable, will not
cure the trouble; for though that state
ment is perfectly true it Is perfectly
commonplace Whenever just hostility
exists, prejudice and unreason newt
ably multiply it. The railroads should
do their utmost to remove this justi.
fcatfOn for the hostility whose exist
ence Mr.. Truesdale confesses.

Greater Protection for Travellers.
(From Golfers Weekly.)

Here is question from the attorney,
general of Missouri: when the true
obligations on the part Of these men
who are in chrage Of these great
enterprises are considered, is it not
clear that instead Of using the money
of the road to gamble with and to Sc
cure the control Of competing lines, con-
trary to the principles OF our common
law and our statute law, such money
should be used to improve the road
bed, to straighten the line, to strength
en- the bridges, to increase the number
and the safety of the cars in order that
business may be promptly and proper
ly conducted, in order that human life
may be made more secure?" Agita-
ton for the introduction Of moral
methods, such as the dropping Of re-
bates and Of passes, has already ac-
complished something. The agitation
that is most called for now is one for
the Introduction of every safety ap-
pliance known to the much less MUIR

Many things which are harmful or
perilous we can avoid using if we
have adequate intelligence. Trains
we are compelled to take. If riding

The People as Monopoly Owners.
e (From the N. Y. Evening Journal)
When the people own monopoly
such as the post office-the entire ma
tion is made more prosperous. Alb
sence of competition makes it pos
sible to concentrate all effort on GOOD
SERVICE, instead Of using up effort
in chicanery and overreaching.
When private individuals own mo-
nopoly, such as the railroads, the en-
tire nation is disturbed and robbed.
Absence Of competition makes it pos
sible to concentrate all effort on more
thorough exploitation Of the people,
on shameful watering of stocks upon
which business, labor and population
must pay dividends.
In monopoly owned by the people
and honestly managed all effort is
aimed at serving the people. Is not
that clear?
In monopoly privately owned and
selfishly managed all effort is direct
ed toward exploiting the people. That
has been made quite plain in recent
railroad and trust exposures.
Monopolies today are private con-
Germs, and their managers are called
successful and are highly rewarded ac-
cording to their ability to enrich pri-
vate individuals at the public expense.
The monopolies of the future-and
there will be many Of them-owned by
the people, managed for the people.
will enrich the nation, facilitate legit-
innate, private business and enterprise,
add to life's comfort, increase the pur-
chasing power of the honestly earned
dollar.

Roosevelt In 1908.

(From the Washington Heraid.)
The article printed in the Sunday Is
sue of The Washington Herald, under
the heading -Four Years More for
Roosevelt" showing the widespread
sentiment in favor of another term
for the present occupant of the white
house, was much commented upon at
the capitol. The existence of such a
sentiment is freely admitted by pub
lie men, but many il not most Of them
believe that Mr.. Roosevelt will adhere
determinedly to the statement he made
the night Of the last presidential cleo
ton, and will checkmate any organized
effort to force another nomination upon
him. No one doubts the sincerity of his
purpose, though all readily concede the
strong hold he has upon the confidence
Of the people.

Railroads and the 2-cent Rate.
(From the Phila. Ledger. }

NFTOM INC PnlIA. Leugcr.J
The rumors to the effect that the
railroads are considering the advis-
ability of sharply curtailing the pas
senger service in Pennsylvania be-
cause the legislature holds up the
threat of passing the ridiculous 2-cent
rate law are, it is to be hoped, moth
ing more than rumors. We can prove
to any enlightened man in the most
fundamentally tiresome manner. II
need be, that this would be a foolish
policy, but it is only necessary to say
that the policy of retaliation or the
threat by corporations at this time to
punish the public will only result in
useless irritation.

(F'rom the Courier-Journal.)
Congress has largely refused to exer-

in determining how the canal shall
be Quilt, and has left the work main
ly to the executive. No continuous
plan for doing the work has been
adopted, but, instead, We have had a
series of experiments, which must be
said to have been failures, for they
have been repeatedly renounced or
changed. That is not the way In which
a great enterprise like this should be

An exceptionally strong cast, a
wealth Of beautiful costumes, pretty
girls and funny comedians are among
the promises made concerning "The
Beggar Prince" which comes to the
Opera House, Feb. 10Th. This is the
same Beggar Prince company that
created such stir in theatrical circles
lately. Indeed the company has scored
such triumph that numerous reasons
have been advanced why the perfor-
mances have been SO we'll attended and
critics have endeavored to sdiscover
the cause Of their popularity. The
real secret of their success, however,
is due to the clever cast and the cap
able manner in which all their operas
are staged. And the Beggar Prince Co.
whichsMill be presented hereEis one
requiring elaborate costuming and it is
said the requirements have been filled
to the letter. One night only, Feb. 49,.
