THE TOLLGATE.
Cleveland Considers It an Anach.
ronism.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
After strenuous efforts Baltimore has
succeeded in getting rid of all but one OF
the tollgates that till recently have shut
in the city from the outside world. One
or these barriers still remains and a
struggle has been started for its elmi-
nation.
II is no wonder that Baltimore has been
passed by Cleveland in the population
race. a city SO far from up-to-date as
to allow toligates to be maintained at
It's boundaries is certainly not sufficiently
energetic to hope to keep up with the
march OF American progress. y tolsate
any where in America is an anachrOnism,
out one at the entrance to a great city is
a mOnstrosity.
vately owned highway is past. The roads
are essentially the peoples, the everyday
mans means of everyday communication
with his neighbor and with the world.
Cleveland and Cuyahoga county were for-
merly afflicted with toll roads. but one
by one, they were taken over and the
gates removed. When the country was
new the toll road served a good purpose,
it was buiit for private gain when the
communities were too poor to establish
highways of their own. The pixies will
continue to exist in many sections of the
country for years to come. but it is with
that Baltimore Is in the throes of
struggle to. put her last tollgate out of
business. 1t almost seems that after all
it was not such a proud achievement to
go ahead of a city that was hemmed in
by tollgates?

RAILWAY GARDENING.
Association of Men Engaged in the
Work Represents IS Roads.

From the Railway Age Gazette.
1t is to be noted with satisfaction that
the persistent efforts of small group Of
railway gardeners TO interest the rail-
ways of the country in the work of i'm
proving the appearance of station grounds
and right of way land are meeting with
increasing success. About thirty men,
bers of the Railway Gardeners Associa-
ton were present at the annual conven-
ton which was held a short time ago in
Chicago. and the meeting was marked by
interested discussion of the technical
phases of gardening.
This association was formed in 1907
with seventeen members 1t has since
held four conventions. and the member
ship has Increased to 80, representing
thirty-five roads. This progress is en-
tirely due to the efforts of individual en-
ployes. who are anxious to see the prac-
tice of horticulture on railway lands gain
the recognition which it deserves.
Although several roads have main
tanned departments for carrying on such
work. the gardeners in charge have IN
the main been denied enrourageme
by railway managers in enlarging the
field of their work and in introducing it
on new roads. An expenditure made for
planting flowers or sodding a cut may not
result in as definite an increase in gross
earnings as similar expenditure for
operating freight train
However. the appearance OF we'll kept

neatly sodded banks in deep cuts and Of
fresh flowers on dining car tables are
very effective in adding to the pleasure
and comfort of Travellers and any such
effort of railway manager to please his
patrons will win for his road many
friends who not only will travel that
way more often in the future but will
also influence their friends TO go with
them. Such body of friendly patrons
is also of great value to the road in pre-
venting radical and ill advised legisla-
ton.
The roads which have practiced garden
ing have also found that the products of
the gardeners work have good influence
on employees in making them more con-
tented and In influencing them to be more
careful in their work. which usua ly
means that they are saving the company
money. The sodding of cuts has the fur

me fact that some of the roads which
first adopted gardening are now the most
ardent advocates of the system is the
best proof of the value of the investment.
Several methods have been devised by
