CEASE FIRING

1t is a pity that it seems that fight must al
ways precede compromise and that willing
ness to recognize another point of view is born
only after someone has been hurt. Opinions
seem infalible until they are forcibly rejected.
It is only then that self-assurance pauses to re-
fleet Frequently it is then too late for reflection
to do good.
It, had been better had the Railway Business
Association displayed the admirable sense it now
shows before, instead of after the event. The
railroads it represents having forced a crisis
which they were unable to successful meet, the
Association is now out in Il card to all hands
conccrned,-the railroads themselves, Congress,
shippers of freight, and the public at large
in which It plea for consideration, charity, and
brotherly love is the central note How much
more effective this attitude would have been,

the fight itself had demonstrated their weakness
No exception can be taken, however, TO the
substance of the Association appeal, in SO far
as ii counscIs moderation Of opinion and the
consideration of forebearance on all concerned in
a delicate situation. The railroads constitute a
factor in modern life, the interests of which are

fatal for the public to yield TO railroad demands
out of fear of the consequences, IT. would be
scarcely loss disastrous to maintain and exert
against them spirit of resentment This is no
time for the public to seek press its advantage,
for the railroads to regard the future with un-
due fear The clash has come, and it has been
survived. The need now is to get together on all
sides in the spirit of doing exact equity and APP
preaching to an understanding sympathy
How important it is that the public take this
concliatory part is shown when it is stated that
the membership of the Association includes roads
representing $s00,000,00 IF invested capital,
giving employment to 100000 working men,
and upon which 100000 people depend for
support. Anything affecting seriously an inter
est of such proportions necessarily affects in more
or less degree every man, woman and child
throughout the country. The freight rate matter

anything whatever about-i5 therefore academic
and technical only on the surface. Practically,
so far its continued agitation and uncertainty
is concerned, it is a matter of local concern to
Ievery community. The fact that business dis
