The Railroad as q Turnpike.
By DR.. 4. ,. EDWARDS.

Al I was walking through the Grand
Central Station. New York City. one
morning. some years ago. with the late
James d. Laying. he called my attention
to q private car which he said had been
presented to the president of one Of the
larger of the Western railroad COM
psnies. Mr.. Laying took close heed OF
this car. observing its compactness OF
construction. Through one of the win
dows we could see what appeared to be

Laying said It was. serving both for an
ONCE and . dining-room.
did you ever think" said Mr.. Laying.
that the private car really represents
the original purpose Of the builders Of
railroads, IN the United States At least?
was once talking with Mr.. Perkins.
who was 30 prominently associated with
the development Of the Burlington Rail-
road system and who remembered the
early days Of railroad construction in
New England. He told me that at first
the men who put their capital in the
railroads regarded q railroad as a sort
Of improved highway or turnpike. Be
fore the railroads came. private capital
built highways and then established toll
gates At various points on the road
where tolls were collected.
The railroad was to be a highway and
anybody was to be at liberty to hire.
build or borrow q car and put 1t upon
the railroad and haul 1t with horses ex-
actly AZ any one who could pay tollgate
keeper could utilize . turnpike for his
private conveyance. To this day the
right to demand Of q railroad company
that a private car be hauled over its
lines still exists. But. excepting in the
case Of cars owned by railway man
ayers and a few in which very rich men
indulge. there are no private cars but
the refrigerator cars, which are not
owned by the railroads. but by corpora
tions
Mr. Perkins told me that one of the
first Law cases Ben Butler tried excited
at the time . great deal of interest in
Massachusetts,. Somebody who bought
or hired . car demanded that the man
ayers Of the railroad which operated be-
tween Boston and Lowell let him haul
that car over It's tracks, he being willing
to pay for that service. This the man
asement refused to do. and Ben Butler
was retained by the man to sue the road
for damages. He did establish judicial
ly the right Of any one to haul his car
over q railroad. But II was. after ali.
no victory. The courts held that in view
Of the necessity Of providing time tables
and Of running the railroad regularly
on schedule. the managers must always
have the right to saw when and how a
private car should be hauled over its
tracks. or course that decision put an
end to any demand upon q railroad COM
pany from any one who wanted a per-
sonal car hauled over its track. But to
this day the railroad IL really a turn
pike, although the exiGencies of traffic
and the need of regulation make 1t prac-
tically impossible for the general public
to use II In that way

Polly hung her head and the color
rose to her cheeks. Il guess there

handed him the open half-empty
purse.

in the afternoon for an early supper
at the homo Of Timothy's uncle.
At eight the next morning. Timothy
and his uncle left the breakfast table
and strolIed to the veranda.

said the uncle. You won't want to
start out till the women folks get the
things done up inside"
4 But Polly had a hasty whispered
conversation with Timothy's aunt 1t
met with the elder woman's approval
and by the time Timothy and his
uncle were comfortably settled in
their veranda chairs she was hurrying
down the back alley.
Yes, uncle" Timothy was saying.

By this time Polly had reached

In a quarter Of an hour Polly. with

"I want . pair Of those classy shoes

and finally the hairdresser. Il want

At noon. Timothy was still sitting
on the front porch. Once or twice
during the morning his aunt had come
to tell him that Polly would be ready
soon, but he was becoming uneasy.
Then his uncle returned from bis work
and they sat waiting for dinner to be
announced.

That the peace agitation among women
has served a. an exceedingly important
feeder to the cause Of woman suffrage
was the opinion expressed to be by Mrs.
ellison Gardner when had the good for
tune to chat with her at the headQuar-
tiers Of the Congressional union yes
terday.
There is something IN the idea Of
peace that especially appeals to women"
she said. Perhaps It is sometimes only
q sentimental interest to bekin with, but
many women who have before been lit
| tie interested in matters outside the
routine OF their own lives are first drawn
out through this matter Of peace. That
is the first rung on the ladder. ] do
not mean by that" Mrs. Gardner has
tened to correct herself. that there is
necessarily anything at all sentimental
or namby-pamby about the peace move
ment. Quite on the contrary. 1t is one
of the most vigorous and compelling Of
present considerations.
"Stin there is something concrete
about peace that there is not about suf-
frage at frst glance. and II has been my
experience that many women first drawn
into peace have become suffragists SIM
ply because they saw that suffrage was
absolutely essential to any peace agi-
tatiop.
Once drawn into peace considerations
they faced the fact that measures for
peace. or for war. rested with the legis-
lature and there they Immediately faced
the fact that in that branch of human
activity woman had no part. They saw
that in passage of bills for the appropria-
ton OF millions of the country's money
for the purchase of ammunition the wom-
en- had absolutely nothing to say.
Then you believe that woman. as q
whole. would oppose movements for pre-
paredness?' asked.
Not necessarily. But they should at
least have a voice in a matter which so
deeply concerns themselves. For my part
I am much interested In the plans for q
working army such as have been pro-
posed by the Assistant Secretary Of
Labor. Mr.. Louis Post. and other radical
thinkers. 1t is plan more nearly akin
to that in Switzerland than anything now
in existence.

AS SEEN BY A WASHINGTON WOMAN
q You LOVE CHILDREN.

And of course you do, for the sub
;ect of childhood is the. one thing
hat makes the whole world OF wom'
ankind kin, then you will be inter-
ested in the very new movement in
the world of art to give larger,
more significant place to the things
Of childhood.
The Art Alliance of America IS
showing. in an exhibition just opened
In New York City the concrete re-
suits of this new development.
Men and women have always been
interested in beautifying the sur
roundings of grown-ups. The great
art treasures of antiquity, OF Egypt,
of Greece and of Rome, of Byzan-
tium. Italy and all the other eoun-
tries where art has flourished, show
rs how eager these peoples were to
beautify their surroundings, but with
Il was always the world of grown
UPS. 1t is always the grown-up
peoples tables and chairs and PIC
lures and books that were SO beauti-
fully embellished and decorated.
It is only recently that we are De-
ginning to see that little people may
have a very real appreciation OF the
beautiful and that they. like their ei-
aers, respond to beautiful surround
inRs in a mos. decided manner.
To be sure we have made use OF
decoration in the realm Of childhood
before this recent movement. we
have surrounded our babies with IN
Inspired and characterless white ana
pink or white and blue color scheme
that become decidedly monotonous
to any observing grown-up. And as
the youngsters grew older the idea
has been to furnish them with an
other set of surroundings as grotesque
as the first was inspired. Do you
remember the crude pictures that
used to hang in your nursery, the
ocnevolcnt-looking dog playing the
part of protector to some guleiess,
chcrub-faced young kitten; doll-faeed
children with prodigious masses OF
golden hair and china blue eyes; the
rcddest of red breasted robbins sit
ting out in the snow, and other prizes
of the lithographer's art that stared
iown at YOU in that nursery of yours!
And if you had any special furniture
of diminutive size it never by any
chance was good to look at. 1t was
crude machine-made, highly var
nishcd, such as your parents would
not have thought of using in the
erown-up rooms Of the house. 1t was
considered to be quite good enough
for youngsters.
But a new spirit OF childrcn's sur
roundings is in the air and at the
present cxllibition in Now York there
is a showing Of all Sorts of really
beautiful nursery decorations and
furnishings that cannot help but con-
tribute to making childhood now
more complete than it ever was be-
fore.
