ENTITLED TO FAIR TREATMENT.

The European War has brougf
abought such a grave crisis in tn
affairs of the railroads of this countr
that President Wilson has take
-cognizance of the situation in a lette
to the chairman of the Committee O
Railroad Executives which contain
this paragraph.
"You ask me to call the attention
of the country to the imperative
need that railway credits be su
stained and the railroads helped il
every possible way, whether b,
private cooperative effort or by
the action, wherever feasible o.
Governmental agencies, and am
glad to do so because think the
need very real. :"
While in the past perhaps there has
been abuses in the management oil
some Of the railroad systems of the
country, and the relations between
the companies and the public have
not been as cordial as their mutual
interest would warrant, these abuses
have been corrected and there is no
question now but what the laws are
being followed to the letter by the
railroads and that they are earnestly
endeavoring to give the public the
best possible service, and this oftimes
at rates which do not yield a return
on the actual cost Of the properties
and the expense of operating them.
1t is apparent that the public is
awakening to the fact that if the rail-
roads are to give satisfactory service,
their rates must be sufficient to prop
erly maintain the properties and to
pay the stockholders fair interest
on their investment. The day was
when the prejudice against corpora
tions of all kinds warped the reason
of those who in other matters were
disposed to be fair, but the public is
awakening to the fact that such
prejudice is not only unreasonable,
but the effect of its indulgence is

great speed, but was fully able to con-
troll the apparatus. At ten thou sand
feet he was sailing down calmly into
space. Then he drifted to and fro in

count of straining the eyes till he was
