WHAT THINKING MEN THINK

Many of the worlds leading thinkers and doers have
expressed thoughts of great value to the industrial and
commercial world which have direct bearing on the
situation in Alabama.
Ample safe and rapid transportation facilities
even more necessary than cheap transportation
Theodore Roosevelt.
"The benefactions derived . from rail-
roads is nestimabe and vastly exceeding any nten-
tonal philanthropy on record"-Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Just your servant only properly discharge
his duties when he is suitably fed suitably clothed,
and suitably housed so the railroad can only properly
discharge its duties when it receives proper treatment
from the public. Chas A. Prouty, of Interstate
Commerce Commission.
"A government may hope to meet its obligations
through its power to tax, but American railroads
only meet their obligations out of their earning
capacty."-London Economist.
"The prosperity of railroad depends upon the
prosperity of the territory it serves
"Our railroad system is without parallel in the world,
because we are living Nation, and in Europe they
live communities. That accounts in part for the
wonderful efficiency of the American railroad-Hon.
Franklin X. Lane, of President Wilson's Cabinet
'Our railway management has many faults and
abuses in detail but taking its work whole, it has
brought down rates to cheapness which is unequaled
elsewhere and has developed the business of the coun-
try on scale which would have been impossible under
any system of rates based cost of Arthur
T. Hadley President Yale University
"The American railway pays the highest wages in
the world out OF the lowest rates in the world after
having set down to capital account the lowest captal
zation per mile of any of the great countries of the
world"
'The railway, as corporation has no voice in the
selection of those who frame and administer the laws
for its regulation It's physical property extending in
part through sparsey settled sections and through will
dernesses perhaps is the most defenseless property
that exists In the nature of it's existence there
fore, it find safety only when in the darkness of
the night Watches in times of stress and peril and in
the enactment of laws for it's regulation the invisible
sentinel of public opinion stands guard it's rights
and property"
Each and every of these thoughts came from the
mind OF one or more eminent who have extended
great influence for development and upbuding.
We present them here for your consideration in the
hope that they will guide you in forming esti-
mate of the L. & N.

could relish woodchuck. Talk about

WILSON REBUKES' ARMY
AND NAVY OFFICERS
President Writes Caustic Reprimand
on Recent Carabao Dinner Held
at the Capital.

Washington, Dec 24-President
Wilson made public Monday a letter
addressed to Secretaries Garrison and
Daniels, respectfully. requesting that
"a very serious reprimand' be admin
istered to those army and navy officers
who participated in the recent dinner
of the Military order of the Carabao
at which the administration Philip
pine and other policies were satirized
His letter to the two secretaries fol-
lows:
My Dear Sirs-Allow me to thank
you for your report on the action of
certain officers of the army and navy
at the recent dinner of the Military
Order of the Carabao.
THE officers who we're responsible
for the program of the evening are
certainly deserving of a very serious
reprimand, which l hereby request be
administered; and I cannot rid myself
of feeling of great disappointment
that the general body of officers as
sembled at the dinner should have
greeted the carrying out of such pro-
gram with apparent Indifference to
the fact that it violated some Of the
most dignified and sacred traditions
of the service.
Il am told that the songs and other
amusements of the evening were in
tended and regarded as fun What
are we to think of officers Of the army
and navy of the United States who
think 1t fun to bring their official
superiors into ridicule and the policies
OF the government, which they are
sworn to serve, with unquestioning
loyalty, into contempt? If this is
their idea of fun, what is their idea
Of duty? If they do not hold their
loyalty above all silly effervescences
of childish wit what about their pro-
fession do they hold sacred?
My purpose, therefore, in admins
tering this reprimand is to recall the
men who are responsible Tor this low
ering of standards to their ideal; to
remind them of the high conscience
with which they ought to put duty
above personal indulgence and to
think OF themselves as responsible
men and trusted soldiers even while
they are amusing themselves as din
ers out
Sincerely yours.
