PRESIDENT FINLEY ONE OF
PRINCIPAL SPEAKERS

New Haven. Ct, Jan. 90 Mr. w
W. Finley, President of the Southern
Railway Company, was one of the
'peakers at the annual dinner of
the New Haven Chamber of Com
merce in the Yale University Dining
Hall this evening. Mr.. Finley spoke
on State of Mind" He quoted
from a recent magazine article by
President. elect Wilson as follows:
Don't you know that some man
with eloquent tongue, without con-
science, who did not care for the
Nation, could put this whole country
into flame? Don't you know that
this country, from one end to an
other, believes that something is
wrong? What an opportunity it
would be for some man without
conscience to spring up and say:
This is the way. Follow me- and
lead in paths of destruction"
Mr.. Finley followed this by
quotation from M. Gustave lie Bon's
book entitled The Crowd, a Study of
the Popular Mind" showing the
small part often played by reason
ing in influencing public opinion and
the ease with which it may be
swayed by affirmation, and repeti-
ton. He arguec that these quota
tons demonstrated the wisdom of
so grounding public opinion in
economic truth respecting the pro-
blems of the day that mere afirma.
ton and repetition could not lead to
the belief that wrongs existed where
they did not.
Referring to the problems relating
to transportation as among those
as to which public opinion should
be we'll grounded. Mr. Finley went
on to deal with the economic truths
affecting transportation from various
points of view as a basis for an
intelligent public opinion and the
fair attitude of the public mind as
to the railway system of the United
States. Pointing out that the trans
portation system Of the country
was made up Of the country high
ways, the waterways, and the rail-
ways, each important in its parti-
cular field, he showed the relative
magnitude of the railway system
and its importance as a factor in
civilization, national progress, and
development, and gave passing
glance at some Of the problems of
railway management. Continuing,
he said:
The railways Of the United States
give to society a transportation SER
vice that is more comprehensive
from year to year. They perform
this service at rates of campensa-
ton that, on the whole, are lower
than those paid for similar service
in any other country. They give
employment, directly or indirectly,
to millions of our fellow citizens and
expend such vast sums in the pur-
chase of supplies and materials that,
not only the industrial life, but the
general prosperity of the country
are largely dependent upon the
maintenance of their wage-payine
and purchasing power.
In return for their service to

influential friends they were accorded

years.
1t was due to the late President Ma
dero that these men were saved from
further suffering. Having been asked
to pardon them or transfer them to
a more sanitary institution. he caused
an investigation to be made. 1t was
found that the long Imprisonment had
greatly impaired the health of all
three. Madero thereupon ordered
their removal to the penitentiary at
