PAYING THE PENALTY.

IL has been given out as warning
tiine after time, that we, as people,
were prone to blame the railroads for
all sorts of things without being par
ticular about the amount OF Justifica-
tion.
True, there have been times when
the railroads, as n class, were guilty
OF domineering spirit that gave n
reason for the antagonism that after
ward grew into formidable propor-
tons. But the results Of those who
wanted TO right a wrong have been
far beyond their desires and intents.
II got so that railroad was given
the worst end OF deal in any cir
cumstance. They came to he regarded
az legitimate targets for any kind Of
abuse that n demagog might find
handy 10 advance his own ambitions.
one class of politicians in parucu-
lar has never missed chance to be-
rate them in unmeasured terms, and
hold them responsible for about half
the ills flesh is heir TO. Legislation
to curb the aggressions grew into the
habit OF corporation batting, on the
presumption that n corporation was
evil In It's essence, and whoever fought
against It was the peoples friend"
But now we are TO pay the penalty
for our eXcesses. Between the national
and state government regulations. the
railroads have been gradually squeezed
into tight place, and now we find
them unable to serve the people TO
the best advantage, at n time when
their service is critically needed. They
are unable to meet the demands Of the
government or to move the freight
that a prosperous year and war neces-
stiles haEe thrown into their care.
The result IS that much OF the good
to be obtained from the popular effort
10 win the war will be nullified for
lack Of prompt transportation. The
railroads are prospering. but their
is short, and financial aid
from the usual sources is impossible,
because OF the situation into which
they have been forced by years Of
legal repression and discoura cement.
The government must now come to
their aid or else take over the opera
tion OF the lines for government pur-
poses and let the-private shipper hold

There are some people yet who are
not too intelligent to try to kin the
goose that lays the golden egg.

The general said Jerusalem was en-
tered without fighting, the Turks re-

their positions to the west were sub
Jected to a surprise attack by the
British. JerusaIem suffered no dam
age, he said, and the Ottoman supreme
command has given assurances that
wanton damage is out of the question
