But it was basely disloyal to the spirit
in which, according to President Wilson,
we fought the war. 1t WIS utterly con-
temptuous Of democracy. It's council
of defense was more ruthless than the
Kaiser ever dareo be. It's laws were
violated, with the approval of the author
tiles, if not With their instigation, in
breaking up meetings Of men who sought
to express, under the laws Of the United
States their views Of how the war should
be conducted.
Minnesota during the war ceased to
be democracy,.a and became an auto
cracy, in which few men, by playing
upon the fears and PR JUDGES of the
people, ruled with an iron hand in behalf
of their own profits. Ard tho the war
has ended Minnesota has not yet regainsd
its lost rights. Public opinion still
covers under the lash Of big business
and its subs ,rvient press. Carrier Neats.

From the small locomotives of past
years to the large freight power OF
the so-called "Mikado" type; auto
matically fired, doing away with the
old-fashioned, back-breaking system
of hand-fring; and in place of the
light rail up to the present standard
of heavy ninety pound steel, we'll bal
lasted track, fully tieplated, and
equipped as further measure of
safety, with the absolute permissive
type of automatic block signals on
the district where traffic is the heav-
lest; it can be truthfully said that the
transportation system has kept pace
with the development in all other lines
Of business.
The first consideration in transpor-
tation is to handle the traffic, both
passenger and freight, safely To
this end, nothing that can be fore
seen is overlooked. In addition to
following the standard rules govern
ing the operation Of trains, all rail
road divisions hold a monthly meet
ing at headquarters Of what is known
as Safety First Committee. This
committee is composed Of a represent
alive employee from every class of
service and it is Simply case of get
ting together, hearing the views of
the men who are right on the ground
in every department, and acting on
the suggestions made; many Of which
are valuable, with view of avoid
ing so far as is humanity. possible, I'M
necessary risk of personal injury or
accidents.
What the future has in store for
all transportation systems is, OF
speculation at this time. Whether
or not the roads will remain under
Government control or go back to
private ownership is matter that
rests entirely in the hands Of the PEG
pie. 1t is certainty, however, that
everything possible will be done in
the future to keep on giving the pub,
lie the best service that can be given
and of finding ways to improve it
In great many cases suggestions for
the betterment Of both passenger and
freight service come from people who
are not in any way connected with
railroad service and, in many IN
stances, valuable suggestions are re-
ceived and acted on. There are, OF
course, suggestions and requests
made which cannot be consistently
followed out or granted.
