Railroads and the Public.

The tact that the recent discus
sions, in which the heads of practi-
cally every railroad system in the
country took part, were held behind
closed doors, leaves the decisions
arrived at matter of conjecture to
all except the participants, so that
the declaration of President McCrea,
of the Pennsylvania, that an increase
in freight rates has not been de-
termined on serves to confuse rather
than to reassure, the impression hav-
ing been generally gained that the
railroads desire to put into effect an
immediate increase of ten per cent.
The protest on the part of the ship
per and the people at large at the
imposition of such a tax at a time
when the country can afford no ad-
ditional burdens in its fight to over
come the effects of the Roosevelt
panic has been so emphatic and
united as to make it improbable that
the railroads can gain the consent
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion or, in fact, that they will sub
NIT to the commission a proposal to
increase rates.
Should the improbable happen,
however, the railroads, which are
just beginning to recover from the
batting to which they have been SUBJ
jected by Congress and the State
Legislatures, would display a sing
ular lack of ability to grasp the
patent and essential fact that CO.
operation, not imposition, is their
best policy.
The public in the past eighteen
months has shown little disposition
to accept the argument that pro-
lection of the railroads is protection
of the public interests. For the
railroads to be the first to refute
that argument by an increase in
rates. when the public is overtaxed
as it is, would be to give the public
present discomfort and the railroads
more than one uncomfortable quar-
ter of an hour in the near future.

whence all but him had fed,
he wished that every dead beat

away to the time when he should

go scooting to the sky; when he'd
roam the fields of paradise and
sail Ger jasper seas, and all
things glorious would combine
his sense to please. He thought
how then he'd look across the
great gulf dark and drear,
that'n yawn between his happy
soul and those who swindled
here, and when for water they
would call, and in agongy they'd
caper, he shout to them: Just
