vcrsal demand the railway companies
will be glad to pay rentals for use
of street indica tors, as soon as they
are introduced and it is shown the

the travelling public will sure be sol
id for an improvement that will inn
prove convenienccs for all. You can
ride in "A Pullman or Tourist car all
over the United States and hardly
ever know the names of the towns
and cities through which you are pass
ing, unless you carry railway guide
and time table, are sure your watch
is correct, and know that your train
is cunning on time. Did you ever
notice that about nine times out of
ten when you ask trainman what
city or town it is through which you
are passing, that he will invariably
look at his watch, refer to the time
table or little book which he carries
in his pocket for the inf0r'na ton?
He would be lost if he did not carry
that guide book and time table with
him for information that should be
automatically displayed in each car
for the convenience and benefit of
pr sscngers and trainmen alike. Then
to get along ok. the passengers would
only have to be able to see and read.
Not only Pullman and Tourist, but
all cars of "A train are practically the
same. You have sometimes heard the
trainmcn, generally a brakeman on a
steam road, try to call the attention
to stations on local trains, when more
than half the time not a person in
the car can tell what he says, and
the other half he don't know himself !;
and if il is "A through train, may be
you fcan tell what state you are in,
but IA great deal of the time it is
very doubtful. We all know that a
great number of trainmcn have to
put in long hours without sleep, and
are ovcrworkcd. That fact alone
ought TO be good and sufficient rca-
son why the railway companies should
have and install our Indicators over
their entire systems throughout the
country. And more especially the
street car systems. thereby removing
from the mind of conductor and mot
orman the strain of uncertainty as
to what the next street will be. Did
you ever work on an electric system
and feel that strain Its great; ask
any of the boys; they will know !;
don't look for old men, they are hard
to find; that strain has put them
out of business. The companies have
tried hard to save the boys too, by
having the different state legislatures
pass laws for their projections havn'i

and it is nothing but the constant
strain under which they are trying
to make "A living for themselves and
those dependent upon them
Our Proposition and Object Desired
There is nothing that you have seen

of machinery, that could at all COM
