More towns die for want of
confidence on the part of bust
ness men and lack of public spi-
rit than any other cause. When
a man in search of a home or a
business location goes into a
town and finds everything brim
full of hope and enthusiasm of
the prospects of the place, aud
all earnestly at work to build
it up, he soon becomes imbued
with the same spirit, and as a
result he drives down stakes and
goes to work with the same in
terest. When, however he goes
to a town where every one eX-
presses doubt and apprehension
for the future prosperity of the
place, moping about and indulg-
| ing in mournful complaints he
naturally feels thatit is no place
for him. and he at once shakes
/ the dust off his feet while he
pulls out with all possible speed
for some other place, Conse-
queutly try and make a live
enterprising town out of the
town in which you live, When
you are working for or saying a
good thing for your town you
are accomplishing all the more
for your town you are accom-
plishing all the more for your
self.

To the people of Clovis, who
are not acquainted with Mr..

not the kind of merchant who

The Railroad and
The Public

AAH n HAAaAA'a
There is coming about, an ad-
justment of the relations be-
tween the railroads and the pub
lie. The latter is beginning to
understand that the public ser
vice corporations are not getting
IA square deal" i'm many re-
spects. The p Iblic is an acces-
sorry to many Of the acts charg-
ed to the railroads. Many an
otherwise honest man or woman
who would not think of stealing
from a neighbor, will use an ex-
pired railroad ticket. or evade
the payment of street car fare.
There are no stings of conscience
aid the person guilty of the
fraud does not feel that he is
shining against any particular
person. The railroad has been
and is now at the mercy of the
corporation batter and the polit-
ical sandbagger. From time to
time in practically every state
in the union, self-seeking pol
iticians introduce legislation,
either for the purpose Of forcing
the railroads to pay tribute.
There is no doubt about this. 1t
is matter of common know
ledge. Any fairminded person
recognizes the injustice of this
condition. The rights of the
railroads are no less than the
rights of any individual. Each
is entitled to exactly the same
consideration. In the past it
has not been true, that railroads
could expect impartial enact
ment and enforcement of laws
to safeguard the interests of its
stockholders. No restriction is
placed on the Individual or pri-
vate corporation as to the ex-
tent of earnings, but the rail-
roads are hedged about with re-
strictive legislation and regula-
ton as to make it practically inn
possible for the stockholders to
secure a fair return on the
amount invested.
1t is time for a new deal. The
stockholders, employees, and of.
ficials of the railroad company
should realize that their acts as
members of the corporation are
not devoid of personal responsi.
bility and that they themselves
constitute the railroad. On the
other hand, the people are com
ing to a clearer conception of
the fact that the term corpora
ton" is a legal fiction, and thar
back of it are rendering a ser
! vice to the public, and who ar,
: in truth public servants. but wh'
even as such have rights as in
alienable as that of the public.
