| am satisfied after two years of spe-
cial study 90 the subject are too low -
Two Supreme Court decisions have re-
Gently held that railroads. though public
carriers. ought not to be forced to car
ry passengers at loss. The people
DO not ask that they carry mail at a
loss. They do ask for a square deal.
The Railroad Passenger should
Pay His own Way.
AS to whether the railroads Of Illinois
can maintain their present passenger
service on the two-cent rate. the Public
Utilities committee of the State legis-
laturc il now trying to decide. There
is opinion on both sides of the contro-
versy. But there can be no honest diff
ference on this one point. that the pas
senger should pay his own way. lie
should not he carted around the State
at the expense of the freight shipper
IT, as the railroads claim. the two-cent
rate does not pay the expense OF pas
senger operation. the two and a half
cent rate should be granted at once
For when. as is asserted. the passen-
ger is carried below cost. the shipper
to make up. is paving more than cost
AS regards the shipper who also rides,
the situation is not without its compen-
sations. But most shippers never ride
and most riders never ship. This is I'M
fair. Each branch of railway serv-
ice should stand on It's own feet or. rath.
er. roll on its own wheels.
II. as seems likely. the carriers do
prove that their passenger trains are
liabilities. not assets. the two and a half
cent rate should be allowed Then, II
the carriers at a later date begin to show
signs of unbecoming fat. the Utilities
Commission or the legislature. can apply
a reducer to the particular point Or I'M
wholesome accumulation.
That the roads could win in a hearing
such as this would have been impos-
sible two years ago. The muck raker
and the "peepuls' politician had been
carrying on campaign of education
for years. The people had read and
listened: they knew the railroads for
their enemy. But the roads more re-
their opponents They have been doing
some muck raking of their own, and the
public now has both sides of the problem
before it. To have granted the swo
and a half cent fare two years ago
would have meant public suicide for
the members Of the granting body. But
the situation Is different now. The men,
bers of the Legislative Committee have
been relieved from much Of the old-time
pressure or prejudice. They will be able
to decide the matter on its own merits
a situation which. to judge by the evil
dence adduced should give the carriers
the advance they request.

When the good go wrong, those supposed to
be good there ought to be neither wailing nor re-
joicing. They have not ceased to be good What
is good in them persists. 1t may become even
finer kind OF good, through humility and through
the realization of its worth. Now it is the bust
ness of the rest of the world not to be anything
that will harm that good, not to take advantage
in the name of righteousness.
There is even finer opportunity in the stu
alton: it asks us to remember our own relation to
it and to all the offenders in the world the least
and the greatest They are all close to us. In a
very literal sense they are ourselves. The forces
that made them out OF common human material
might have made us to be exactly like them. And
the forces that developed the qualities pride
ourselves on possessing and displaying might
have saved them and might them still.
