RAILROADS APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT
The Common Carriers Ask for Re-
lief President Wilson Directs
Attention of Public to

Attention Of Public to
Their Needs.
The committee of railroad execu-
tives, headed by Mr.. Frank Trumbull,
representing thirty-five of the leading
railroad systems of the nation, recent
ly presented to President Wilson
memorandum briefly reviewing the diff
ticulties now confronting the railroads
of the country and asking for the CO
operation OF the governmental authori-
ties and the public In supporting rail-
road credits and recognizing an emer-
gency which requires that the rail-
roads be given additional revenues.
The memorandum recites that the
European war has resulted In general
depression of business on the Ameri-
can continent and In the dislocation
OF credits at home and abroad. With
revenues decreasing and interest rates
increasing the transportation systems
of the country face a most serious
crisis and the memorandum is a
strong presentation Of the candle
burning at both ends and the perils
that must ultimately attend such q
confagration when the flames meet
Is apparent to all. In their general
discussion the railroad representa-
tives say in part: by reason of leg
islation and regulation by the federal
government and the forty-eight states
acting Independently Of each other, as
well as through the action of a strong
public opinion, railroad expenses in
recent years have vastly increased.
No criticism is here made of the gen.
eral theory of governmental regula-
ton, but on the other hand, no in
genuity can relieve the carriers of ex-
penses created thereby"
President Wilson, In transmitting
the memorandum OF the railroad
presidents to the public, character
ICES 1t as "a lucid statement of plain
truth" The president recognizing
the emergency as extraordinary, con-
tinuing. said In part:
you ask me to call the attention
OF the country to the imperative need
that railway credits be sustained and
the railroads helped in every possible
way, whether by private cooperative
effort or by the action, wherever
feasible of governmental agencies, and
/ am glad to do so because l think
the need very real"
The conference was certainly a
fortunate one for the nation and the
president is to be congratulated for
opening the gate to a new world of
effort in which everyone may cooper
ate.
There are many important prob
lens In our complex civilization that
will yield to cooperation which will
not lend themselves to arbitrary rul-
tngs of commissions and financing
railroads is one of them. The man
with the money is a factor that can
not be eliminated from any business
transaction and the public is an inter
ested party that should always be con
suited and happily the president has
invited all to participate in the solu-
ton OF our railroad problems.

Protect Postmasters

Several months ago when it vas
rumOred at Washington that the spoils.
men would make an attempt to raid the
fourth class postOflices, Postmaster
General Burleson came out with state
ment in which he declared that ne
would allow no violations of the civil
service principle. Since that time most
Of the fourth class postmasters in the
country have been forced to undergo
an examination in competition with
others to determine their eligibility.
Standing Of all candidates who took
these examinations in Michigan are
now outainable, and the test as to
whether Mr.. BurlesOn is to keep his
word is at hand.
Congressman Cramton is particularly
concerned about the fourth class post
mastership situation. He declares that
he intends to see to it that present
incumbents get square deal. He be-
lieves in most cases the person re.
ceiving the highest standing in exam
nations should receive the appoint
ment. The postmaster general declared
that this would be the case except
where "the good of the service" required
otherwise. Mr. Cramton has obtained
list of the marks received by all those
who took the examinations in his dis
trict. He intends to see that the per-
son best qualified is appointed, or know
the reason.
The list of those receiving the high
est markings at each postofiice in the
Seventh district follows: Amadore, w.

Advertise Your City.

Nothing creates better impression
from passenger train passing through
a town or city than good factory signs.
Every town or city should erect q
good up to- datesign where it can be seen
from the train, setting forth the advan
tages offered to industries and telling
what the place now produces.
Every enterprising factory should
likewise have on it, visible from the
train, sign showing the name of the
concern and what it manufactures.
This is good and inexpensive way to
boom your town and business.

INSURANCE COMPANY
HUNTS LONG MISSING
BRIDGEPORT PEOPLE

Interesting facts concerning the
manner in which persons once we'll
known and prepayment in the civic life
of community are lost track of,
have been brought to light in the
records OF the Mutual Benefit Life In
surance company. Charles G. Pen
d1eton, druggist, Oliver S. Clark, a
peddIer and Robert Q. Moore, a. mer-
chant tailor. are names of Bridge
porters whom the insurance company
have been unable to. locate.
Money on life insurance policies is
coming to these men or their wives,
but search has failed to reveal their
whereabouts. Pend1eton took out an
insurance policy September 20. 1864,
making his beneficiary Sarah r. Pen
dleton, his wife. He paid only one
coming to him. Whether he is dead
or alive, or what becamee Of Mrs.
PendIeton, the Insurance records fail
to show. He was 26 years old at that
time.
Robert o. Moore was "a years old
when he took a policy, making Nor
an Moore, his wife, the beneficiary.
That was on August II, 1866. He
or his beneficiary has $500 coming,
as one fifth OF the policy principal is
awarded. Clark was 81 years old
and, he made Catherine. A. Clark his
beneficiary, December 2. 1864. AT
that time he was living in Norwalk.
He or his wife has $500 coming.
All the men mentioned suspended
payments and disappeared from the
records of the company.
