HARMONY.
Nothing But Harmony in Our
Gonn,,.nifx,


It is refreshing to observe the har-
mony that exists in business and pol
itics in this immediate vicinity. 1t
has become so prominent that even
the renegade sheet has to speak OF
the harmony existing among them
selves. Only a few days ago this
sheet was boasting OF the great har-
mony widespread in the ranks OF
those who provide for the publica-
tion of this renegade nantling. 1t is
becoming so Overwhelmingly har-r
monious among this band that we
shall soon expect another harmony
song from the fighty' bird of doubt
ful ptummage, as to the harmony OF
it's supporters.

The Missouri Pacific
Under New Management

soon as we show that the property
warrants the expenditure, the Mis-
souri, Pacific system will have all the
money it needs to rehabilitate it and
put it in the front rank of western
railroads." says B. F. Bush, new
president Of Missouri Pacific and
Iron Mountain, in the first interview
given out since he assumed control
of the big Gould system of roads.
MIR. Bush's statement shows that
the old ''do nothing" days OF Mis-
souri, Pacific are over; that the big
system has joined the ranks of the
progressives that the railroad which
stood still while Union Pacific, Rock
Island, Sante Fe and other western
lines were being rebuilt is now, in
turn, to have millions of dollars
poured into its roadbed, its rolling
stock and, in fact, into all its depart
ments.
MIR. Bush, the new president, is
the moving spirit in the upbuilding
of the line and 1t was because of his
progressiveness that he was chosen to
head the road and lead in the work.
Along with the outgrown physical
equipment, the old outgr'wn traditi-
tons of the system are to 90 into the
discard. The ''public be damned"
policy is to be reversed and every
thing possible is to be done to cult
cate a good feeling between the road
and its patrons. Mr.. Bush says:.
1.-The relations existing between n
railroad and the people should be
most kindly. The prosperity of the
railroads depends absolutely on the
people and the prosperity OF the peo-
pie depends largely upon the rail-
roads. This kindly feeling can only
be brought about by fair treat
ment on each side. If the railroads
treat the people fairly, l believe they
will, in turn, receive fair treatment
from the people. A few of the rail-
roads have adopted a policy of this
kind and already some of the feeling
against the big transportation systems
is dying. 1t is not So bitter as it was
three years ago.
1.-The public should have some
thing to say regarding the laws un-
der which the railroads operate.
After all, the railroads are crs ,ted BY
the public and the public should con-
troll their creatures. When the Inter-
state Commerce commission was first
created and announced certain rules
under which railroads should Operate.
there was a general cutlery from rail-
road officials. To a man, they op-
posed the idea of any public COM
mission interfering" in their private
business. We now know that a r,il-
road is a public, not a private. bu.i-

cd that\the public has a right to con
