the trade that naturally belongs to
this city can be brought here, by
employing modern business methods.
Today there is not a line of dry
goods advertising in the Evening
Telegram, with the exception of the
advertisement of the Reynolds store.
There is not a grocery represented,
except that of E. G.. Tweedell. How
can people be expected to know that
Lakeland merchants have the goods
and will sell them as reasonably as
those in other places who are reach
ing after their trade?

IF THE TRAINS
STOPPED RUNNING

What would happen in case Of a
general and prolonged railroad
strike? Evidently the American peo-
pie would be up against one of the
greatest practical exigencies that
civilized society ever confronted.
But human ingenuity has marvel
Gus gifts of meeting such situations.
There would be few weeks of
chaos. But the American people are
resourceful They would immediate
ly set themselves to work to devise
substitute systems of transportation.
AS the pending controversies re-
late only to freight traffic, it has
been said that passenger business
would not be much interfered with.
But it would be a mistake to keep
men busy running passenger trains
who would be needed in the more
vital work of handling freight.
Half of the passenger traffic could
stop without doing any very serious
harm. People could take their out
ings at home. Suburban jewellers
could depend on trolleys and jitneys.
Business men could use the tele-
phone. AS the mail trains would
probably be kept running, letters
and circulars could serve. The tend
ency is to give travelling statesmen
compact territory to cover. The
greater part of them could make
their routes by automobile.
The stoppage Of freight trains
would paralyze all industry. Food
distribution today is an amazingly
complex machine. The breaking
down of the system means famine in
a efw days. At all hazards public
sentiment would demand that the
freight business must be maintained
The calamity is so great as to be
almost unthinkable. Yet 1t may
take some such disaster to arouse
public sentiment to the need fol
some system for settling labor dis
putes. The suffering Of a strike
might be worth while, If 1t could be
settled once for all that neither lar
or unions nor corporations wn the
whole United States, and that Meth
er has any right to inflict suffering
on the public in order to gain their
own ends Gainesville Sun.
