farmers whose market facilities and
land values are so vitality affected by
the railroads will follow these articles
carefully for agriculture is the Ma
tons greatest industry and its sue
cess is largely dependent upon ade-
quate and efficient transportation IA
ciities. In fact, every interest in the
land, whatever its character, is in
separately interviewer with the rail
road problem and it therefore deserves
the sober thought of all thinking citi-
zens. The morning after war was
declared, Congress suddenly awoke
to the fact that we were without
merchant marine in which to send
American wheat and other merchant
disc across the seas. How much
greater would the calamity have been
had there been a serious breakdown
in our railroads which would have
prevented them from delivering the
farmers products ut our ocean ports?
We believe every intelligent citizen
will agree that agriculture, commerce
and industry cannot get along with
out the railroads On the other hand,
the railroads cannot get along without
the patronage what is equally
essential, the good will Of the peo-
pie. That some of those who have
been entrusted with railroad manage
ment in the past are somewhat re-
sponsibe for the apparent gulf be-
tween the public and the transpor-
tation companies is perhaps true,
Busy and harasscd by the herculean
tasks entrusted to their care, there
has been too little contact between
them and the people. Again, it is un-
doubtcdly true that the world Of rail.
road finance rs well us Other lines Of
industrial activity has had IS share
Of incxcusablc abuscs-but just as
the public does not hold the banking
world or the ministry responsible
rs whole for the shortcomings OF
an occasional black sheep, so the hun.
dreds Of honest railroad official:
throughout the country should not be
condemned because of the mlsdeed'

In this connection, it may be said
that the railroad world is encountered
with lot Of phantoms which exist
only in the popular fancy. For in
stance, because there have been some
half dozen so-called railroad magnates
whose names have figured prominent
y in Wall Street, many people have
come to believe that the railroads Of
the country are largely owned by Il
few rich men. AS matter of fact,
nothing could be farther from the
truth. Out of the colossal sum Of
twenty billion dollars invested in
American railroad securities less than
five per cent is now or ever has been
in the hands of these men who have
figured prominently in the newspaper
hcadliues-whilct the other % per cent
is in the hands Of four million inyes-
tors, large and small, who in many
instances have put the modest saw
ings Of lifetime into these securities
IN order that they might lay away a
competency for old age.
When, therefore, the valuc Of these
securities is depressed or perchance
destroyed, the hardship is ten fold
greater upon thousands Of every day
citizcns--upon the frugal mechanic
in New England factory, the widow
with her life insurance funds and the
countless other citizens in every voca-
tion and walk Of life than upon the
handful Of millionaires, good or bad,
who have figured prominently in rail
road circles, Thus, for instance, the
great Santa Fc system has over 40
coo stockholders and the same ratio
holds good in nearly all the other
lines. But that isn't all. The hun
