HARSH WORDS AND DOLLARS.

1t was only i short time back when
the motto of the American railroads
seemed to be the famous saying of ons
of the transportation magnates of the
country: The public be damned.
Railroad conductors and station agents
seemed to think they were not per
forming their duty properly unless they
were as gruff and uncivil as possible
toward the passengers they were sup
posed to care for. And as for a rail-
road official, he was as difficult of ap-
proach as a prize fighter who has just
won a championship.
But all that has changed. The rail
roads have taken a different attitude
toward the public. 1t is now as easy
to interview a railroad official as any
other business man and he is as rea-
sonable and cordial. Trainmen and
station men recognize the fact that
they are employed to serve the patrons
of their companies. But apparently,
there is still room for improvement in
this line.
The general manager of the Chicago
Great Western railroad is out with
circular of instructions to the en-
pIoyees under him in which he goes
farther than the public has in the de-

only of passengers but of everybody

many married people and she has
stated it most happily and forcibly.
Undoubtedly she has hit on the chief
cause of the relatively large number of
divorces in the theatrical world. And
the same cause probably lies back of
the many divorces among the wealthy
and fashionable idlers who spend most
of their time in the pursuit of pleasure.
The actress travelling through the coun-
try in one troupe and her husband
touring in another soon find that they
can get along without each other. The
man who devotes his days to golf
motoring, and other pleasures, and his
evenings to his club and the wife who
has a round of occupations of her own
which consume practically all her time,
are in danger of drifting apart.
There are hundreds of divorces which
attest the truth of the little French ac
tress' observation that it is difficult
for two people to live together unless
they do live together.
