NEN EXPREss DISSATISFACTION.

THERE has been a new dspensation in the express
business in the United States since the parcel
post established and put in operation. The old
"public-he-d-d" policy which existed IN the express
service under the old dispensation has been super
seded By "public-he-peased" policy under the new
order of things Express companies which formerly
comported themselves IN such way to indicate
that they cared nothing for public sentiment and
the friendship OF the people. engaged assdu-
ously in the work of winning those things which they
might have had many years ago and without the
parcel post, by FAIR and courteous treatment Of
shipping public. n view Of the changed attitude OF
the express companies toward The people under the
new dispensation think Is the duty OF the people
to meet them halfway in the spirit in which the
approach is made. The present attitude Of tho ex-
press companies is wen expressed by the following
letter which have received from the executive Of
hees OF the American Espress comrany in New
York
Mr.. Geo. Carter, Editor.
THE JOURNAL
Wilmington Del
Dear Sir On behalf Of the cxp.. lnpanies 7
desire TO extend TO you high apprc aton OF your
courteous consideration Of and hopeful views regard
ing the present express situation
We believe IL essential that the public should be
advised TO present conditions anecting their in
terests and the express service is one Of such mat
lt is unnecessary consider the express companies
OF yesterday-thot is history. IL IS the express
panies OF today and their usefulness which should be
dealt with, and on which judgment should be passed
The continuance of an efficient express service is
admitted TO be vital to the interests of the mer-
camille world. and TO insure its continuance the ex-
press companies must be permitted operate under
conditions and schedules which win enable thom In ex
list and fair profit.
We shall always welcome your helpful suggestions
aud friendly criticism, while passing through recon
structiOn period and adapting ourselves to changed
conditions Very truly yours
FRANCIS r. FLAGG.
First Vice-President
New York. Feb q, 1914.
In other words, IL is the desire OF the express
panies that the public shall forget the old dlspensa-
tion and accept the at its face value pay
ing TO them fair rates for efficient and
vice. That Is fair proposition We have no doubt
that Americans who naturally fair-minded, will
be willing TO meet the companies upon such a high
plane of mutual hepfulness.

Many Women and Children
Among the Victims.

Springfield, Mo-, Sept. 1'.-Between
thirty-fve and forty-fve persons were
killed and a score of others injured
when the locomotive, baggage car and
forward chair car of Frisco train No.
5, the Texas Limited, plunged through
trstle over Brush creek, near Lee
banon, Mo-, and were submerged by
the swollen stream.
Most of the dead were drowned in
the chair car and great number of
these were women and children.
Those who were able to escape
fought their way out by breaking win
dows and swan ashore. It was init
mated there were sixty-fve passen-
gers in the chair car. Because of poor
communication with the scene it is.
impossible to estimate definitely how
many of these escaped. None of the
sleeping cars left the track. Passen-

Loses Wife and Five Children.
One man in the chair car lost his
wife and five children. He was thrown
clear of the descending chair car and
swan to shore. In the submerged car
his wife and children met their
deaths.
Rains last week caused all the small
streams in the vicinity to rise. The
train was late because of the flooded
conditions. AS it passed Lebanon,
according to reports reaching here, it's
speed was increased to make up lost
time.
The injured have been brought to
Springfield. The dead were placed
in hastily arranged morgues at Le-
banon. 49,. e."
The Texas Limited was one of the
best equipped trains on the Frisco.
The train carried three sleeping cars,
two coaches, a combined baggage and
smoking car and dining car.
All the equipment was of steel.

THE TRUTH CATCHING UP
IN COLORADO.

Colorado and its coal mining regions
are in the midst of a period of gross
exaggerauons OF facts concerning the
coal strike and recent violence just as
the copper country and the state mill
tia were misrepresented and maligned
during the progress of the copper
strike Lurid statements have been
given prominence in the newspapers,
with the result that Colorado is looked
upon much in the same light as Michl-
gan was in the height of tho local
trouble.
1t took the truth considerable time
to catch up in the copper country and

started TO catch up in Colorado, but il
is certain 10 make rapid strides in put
ting the facts in their correct light be-
fore the people. The Denver Chamber
of Commerce, which has taken hold Of
the campaign much in the same man
ner as the Copper Country Commercial
club did for the copper country, is
sending statements of plain, unvar-
nished facts To other chambers Of
Commerce, newspapers and public
agencies generally. Here is a state

THE deplorable conditions arising
out OF the coal strike in Colorado
have necessitated the calling of Fed
eral troops and have attracted the
attention of the whole country. Ger
tain newspapers of Denver have gross
ly misrepresentcd the actual facts.
They have published accounts Of So
called battles in the coal fields and
have charged the state militia with
massacreing women and children. BY
their lurid statemeIts they have incit-
ed ignorant men TO commit acts Of
lawlessncss in attacking coal mines
and the defenders thereof, including the
militia, which attacks have resulted in
