tent.

PUT PHILADELPHIA ON THE MAP

(NT1Es as well as States are dependent for
~ their growth upon the development OF
railroads d. NJ. Brogan, OF Oregon, who
talked about the resources Of his state to
an EVENING LEDGER representative yester-
day, bemoans the pitiable lack of offshoots
and branch lines to open up the land along
the main line railroads. He asked the man
ayers of one road to run a spur into dis
trict in which he was interested. but was
told that he was years ahead OF the times.
He was not to be denied and built the spur
himself and his confidence in the possibili-
ties Of the district was Justified
The great railroad men Of the Northwest
are ordinarily alert enough TO opportuni-
ties ahead OF any one else. They have learned
by long experience that people will follow
q new railroad, that they will open up the
country. raise crops build houses and schools
and factories and that all this means freight
and passenger business.
What railroads can do in the Northwest
rapid transit lines can do for Philadelphia,
with one-tenth Of the risk involved.
There is a vast undeveloped territory with
in the city limits awaiting rapid transit,
and as soon as street car lines penetrate 1t
houses will be built and factories will
spring up.
Faith in the future Of the city and courage
to bank on that faith ought to be enough to
provide all the transportation lines needed.
But more is needed because there are little
men here, timid men who in spite of the dem
onstrations of experience are afraid that the
city will be bankrupt II It lends its credit to
provide rapid transit. And there are selfish
men here who are seeking to delay develop
ment until they are ready to undertake it
themselves and pocket the profit that there
may be in exploitation Of corporations or
ganized to build the new lines.
The plain people of the city have it within
their power to checkmate all obstructionists
whatever be the motive Of obstruction. Rapid
transit is within their grasp II they will only
reach out and take it. The matter can be
settled on November 2, by the election of
Mayor and Councils committed to the en-
Ightened transit plans already indorsed at
way.
A vote for any who Is not heart and
soul for rapid transit is a vote for a little
Philadelphia in a year when all organizations
together to place the city on the map in let
ters so big that they cannot be overlooked
even by the most casual observer.
