Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1915-09-16

STATISTICS show that fully one
seventh of the entire population
of the United States is interested
directly or indirectly in the sue
cess of the railroads. Thousands
of estates have railroad stocks
and bonds, and there are to-day
more individual holders of rail-
road securities than ever known.
All these things are entering into
the interest which the people in
general are manifesting toward
the railroads, and they are con-
tributing their part toward the
changing Lttitude and the. de-
mand for fair play for the rail-
roads Of the country, aud the de-
mand that the interests Of the
roads shall be 'sconserved' as
well as regulated

Why Men Wear Trousers.

No living man of th is age ever
deliberately chose to "adopt
trousers" He was forced into
them and all other eccentricities
of dress by woman. In the very
earliest sartorial experience of
every man he is swathed in q
queer bundle of incoherent band
ages by q 4 womans LATER she
puts him into cute little dresses
SO that the neighbors can't tell
him from his little sister. Still
later she cuts off his curls and
puts him into knickerbockers,
and he puts on "long pants''
when she says SO and not before.
That is oil that man has to do or
ever had to do with wearing
trousers, Woman forced him
into them IN the first place, and
now he is afraid to wear anything
else for fear ofn ngs
tion,

Editorial
What Next?

Two week ago MRS. GRUMPY
called attention to the constant
decrease in the demand for coal
and the necessity of our fellow
citizens, engaged in digging coal,
TO look forward to meet the
changed conditions.
Early experiences about the
opening of the Tracy City mines
told by the late Col. A. S. Colyar,
will at this time, be of interest
and serve to illustrate that coal
mining suffers under the Adamic
Curse, like everything else IN
this world.
The Tracy City coalmiDers are
among the Oldest in the South
land. Col. Oolyar was leading
spirit in the organization of the
old Tennessee Coal & Railroad
Company, which built the rail
road from Cowan and opened the
first mine. In later years the
Colonel delighted in telling about
the difficulties they experienced
in introducing "stone coaP'
among the Tennessee people.
Everybody was burning wood
blacksmiths were using charcoal
the houses hak the old time wood
fire places, the stationery engines
and the railroad engines, all
were burning wood and before
they could use coal, it was neces.
sary that they go to the expense
of putting in coal CRATES. To in.
duce the people, to do this, they
had to be shown that coal was
much the cheapest fuel for them,
Thif required much persuasion,
repeated. visits from the solicitor,
andmpch time.
j. For some time, according to
'Dolsr Colyar, they would miRe
;onestar of coal, go SELL it, and
then come back and mine anoth,
F.: or carr They had to do the pio-
neer work, they had TO educate
the people to the use of coal for
fuel, instead Of wood.
This was only fifty wears ago,
and now the Hvdro-Electric PEG.
pie are driving steam coal out Of

sible that in the not far distant

future, Enthusiastically will be
supplanted by some vet unknown
but superior and cheaper means
of supplying light and power.

There is one thing land about
the only thing) which railroads
have that is not susceptible of
regulation by the Interstate Com
merce Commission-and that is
good will. All railroads possess
it, to a more or less degree, and
while it is not controlled by any
government body, 1T is fostered
or destroyed by the railroad
management.
The good will of a railroad de-
ponds in large measure in fact,
almost wholly, upon the policies
of the management Of the rail-
road toward the people it serves.
If these policies are to build up
the territory through which the
road operates, to encourage the
citizens to better efforts, to slim
ulate enterprise and thrift, to CO.
operate with them in every line
which will benefit their commun-
ity as we'll as add to the traffic of
the road, then this good will will
become a very potent factor in
the operation of such a railroad.
There is no estimating the value
of it. 1t isn't figured in the tax
schedule, and it doesn't show as
an item in the earnings of the
system, but it is there just the
same and the railroads guard it
most jealously.
The railroads realize that they
are just as dependent upon the
people as the people are upon the
railroads, and those systems
which pursue policy which is
antagonistic to this soon find that
the feeling which the people have
toward it enters very largely into
its revenue.
| The time has passed when the
politician can make his campaign
on demagogic lines. He canno,
cry "down with the railroads
and ride into office as in years
gone by. This is an age of rea'
soning, and the people of the
country are studying and reading
and they are no longer deceived
by those who, in times gone by,
sought to advance their own sell
fish ends at the expense of the
railroads. II.
The people .knoy that the pros
perity4 of the country depends
upon the development Of its
transportation systems, and they
are quick to realize that the rail.
roads are dependable business
barometers.
They are interestedin the rail
roads because railroad holdingl
are no longer controlled by few
millionaire families, as was lthe
case some years back, Recent

County Officers Go North.

Last Thursday evening O. E. Walker, chairman of the board of supervisors, J. c. Lane, sheriff, and Major J. B. Wright, county engineer, departed by automobile to the north part of the county, where they will investigate the needs of a bridge across the Virgin river near Littlefeld. The trip is made by way of Needles, Searchlight, Las Legas, Moapa and over to Littlefeld and then across West Mountain to St. George, Utah. The party intends to go as far as Moccasin. At Littlefeld investigation will be made into the road needs of that settlement and should it be found that it is necessary to the welfare of the community to put in bridge it is possible that the work will be done. The north part of the county has wanted little in the way of money expenditures and when they show their needs the county dads are sure to listen to their wants.

Yucca Land Contest.

Last Tuesday nearly the whole of Yucca's population was present in Kingman attending the hearing of the contest of the people of that town against the entries of George E. Clag- gett and Fred Leonard. It would ap- pear that some months ago Leonard and Claggett made entry of lands that cover the present site of the town of Yucca. The people of that bustling little place concluded that they needed a townsite and at once entered a pro- test to the two entries, and also made townsite filing on eighty acres of the homesteads. The contest was heard before U. s. Commissioner Anson H. Smith, Fen s. Hildreth appearing for the contestants and Ross H. Blakely for contestees. A large amount of testimony was taken which will be for warded to the U. s. land office at Phoenix for action. MT. Claggett re- linquished forty acres of his entry for townsite uses, but MT. Leonard refused to relinquish, preferring that the matter be settled by the Register and Receiver at Phoenix.

M. G. Wagner came in from Los An geles Friday afternoon with another handsome OldsmobiIe car, which he drove across from the Angel City in a day and a-half. He reports the roads between Barstow and Needles some what heavy, but that the first rain would put them in excellent shape. An immense amount of travel is passing over the road and the dry weather con- ditions has done much to make sandy places and chuckholes. But the fact that he was able to drive over 400 miles in the time stated would indicate that the roads were not so bad as the tourist be lead to believe by the last Sundays Examiner. MT. Wagner was able to drive the entire distance from Topock to Yucca, in the high, which goes to disprove the terrible" condition given out by MT. Johnson in his Examiner interview.
