THE new RAILROAD ERA.

There is rainbow in the railroad
sky, promising peace and fair wealth
err. says the well known writer on
railroad topics. c. NJ. Keys, In the
March Worlds Work. It Is nothing
more nor less than frank and open
many systems that the cardinal err
ror hich underly the period Of pub
lie hostility toward railroads was
committed by the railroads, and fair
promise by the railroads, and a fair
again.
A statement recently promulgated
by Judge Lovett, head Of the Harri-
man lines, caps the general confes-
sion of many other heads of systems.
The very PRONUNCIATION Of such a be-
lief marks the new era Always the
railroad has met public opposition
with defiance. The usual reply has
been a challenge something like this:
Oppose us. attack us, or criticize
us, and we shall stop our extensions.
withdraw our builders, cut down our
of our employees. You. not we, wifi
pay for it. Now go ahead and do
your Worst!"
t. ooo fo~r, another the coun-
try has heard that challenge a hun
"a. ca ..1ne1 III the last lew years.
Judge Lovett and Mr.. Otto Kahn
one a Hartman lawyer and officer,
the other Hartman banker-have
expressed the nav principle. The good
faith of the two speakers cannot be
judged by promises, and it remains
to be seen how far acts will fit prin-
ciples. Yet the very announcement
of the principles is so startlingiy new
and SO full of rich promise that it
must be hailed with enthusiasm.
A dozen other railroad heads, in
public speeches, in magazine articles.
in interviews, give tongue to the
same conviction. If a man save pa
thence to read these new outpourtngs
of the railroad heart, he will note in
them all fervid desire for publicity
not the old sterilized brand, but
real outright publicity. He will note
also more or less yelled admissions of
railroad fault in the past. Above all,
he will note that. in the minds of the
railroad men, the railroad has again
become a public servant, q public
utility.
1t remains only to put into effect
this new spirit of cooperation Let
the railroads of the West sweep away
the tangled webs that they have wo-
ven, for their own ends, about the
state capitois. Let railroad lobby
of Washington. Let a few of the
big systems look to it and see wheth-
er or not the men who run them are
men who care a little about the pub
lie and its rights and powers. There
is a school of railroad officers that
must be swept from the house before
it can be considered garnished for
the dawning day. The railroad
whose head is reactionary will de-
serve all that it gets from the new
Democracy Of commerce.
