Railroad Generosity.

The railroads have been accused of
selfishness and extortion often with
ustification-until it is quite out
of fashion to say kind word for
them. 1t is only right, however, to
call attention to a conspicuous case
of railroad generosity and patriot
ism. While the country was torn
with anxiety for the safe return If
American tourists caught within the
European war zones, a member of
the hastily organized London Re-
lief committee cabled the president
of the New York Central asking
whether he could arrange for trans
portation of stranded tourists to
their destinations if they reached
New York President Smith immedi-
ately communicated with the heads
Of several eastern railroads, and in
a few minutes cabled London that
the New York Central the Pennsyl-
vania, the Baltimore and Ohio, the
Erie, the Lackawanna and several
other lines would gladly honor
vouchers endorsed by the London
committee, and would issue tickets
over their lines with cut charge. A
little later Western railroads were
reported to have offered their COOP
Grafton, and now as the passengers
arrive from Europe they will be able
to proceed home without delay, whe-
Their they have any money or not.
Many of the stranded tourists will
repay the railroads, just as they will
repay the United States government
for the relief afforded But there is
no pledge exacted in either case. 1t
is' enough to know that the bene-
fciary is an American citizen,
stranded abroad through no fault of
his own While virtue may be it's
own reward, the railroads will lose
nothing in the long run by this lib
erality.

Some of our newspapers have ac-
cused the Northern Minnesota Edit
orial association of being saturated
with politics, especially at it's last
outing. OF course the association
cannot keep politicians from attend
ing. its. outings, if these politicians
be brothers of the press, but it should
oppose the putting to use Of the spe-
cial motion pictures taken at this
outing for the purpose of furthering
the interests of politicians, whether
they be brothers of the press or mere
office seekers. Bemidji citizens had
slight demonstration of this last
evening and their expressions and at
titude during and after the perform
ance clearly demonstrated that they
did not approve of such methods in
securing nOtOriety.

Best Of First Alarm Boxes.

After work extending over two
years, officials of New York city have
devised fire alarm box which has
been dedicated to the use OF New
York without royalty, and it is ex-
pected that the cost under competitive
bidding will not exceed $45. The
price Of fire alarm boxes during the
last several years under competitive
bidding has run from SIS to SITS each.
The average price has been s125 each
The estimated saving, therefore, will
be $50 a box. The fire department
experts have finished their box just
in time to meet the needs of the city,
as only six per cent of the boxes are
modern, the rest being obsolete and
many being in an unsafe and even
dangerous condition.
