No More Separate Railroads
(From the New York SUM-

II. as the Director General OF Rail
roads says, 10 would be impossible for
the Government 10 establish any gem
eral readjustment OF freight rates be-
fore the roads are turned back 10 their
owners that argument is settled.
Whether rates ought 20 be raised or
ought not 20 be raised at this time. the
impossible is the impossible. But 1t Is
20 be hoped that neither Congress nor
the Interstate Commerce Commission
will agree with Mr.. Hines that ANY
new basis 10 be established for the fu-
ture should be considered not from the
standpoint OF unified operation OF all the
railways but TO a greater extent from
the standpoint OF the necessities OF the
separate railroads"
The American railways, all told, are
never going TO get UP on their rect
again In any form except as a closely
linked. co-Ordlnated, unified system or
systems. Il Is true that II the carriers
were turned back TO be henceforth
lust as they were before the Govern
mont took them over. some OF them
would be better off than they are now
This applies not merely 20 rich earn
ers whose cash surplus has been di-
verted away from their own treasures.
10 applies also 10 natural traffic crea-
tors and handlers whose business has
been diverted away from their own
rails There are roads which would
have had plenty Of business ~ the
government had permitted II to f0w
over those roads. There are roads
which would have had plenty OF cash
II the Government had left their own
money IN their own hands TO be used
by them for their own purposes. And
such roads, free TO take care OF the
business that naturally belongs to them
and free TO spend their own money
might well be content to resume op-
Grafton as separate institutions.
But the needs Of the public demand
II not one general system then as few
systems as possible. II may be that all
the railroads Of the United States would
better be put into four groups or halt
dozen groups than kept in one group.

RACE-RIOT FEARS
GONE IN CHESTER
Authorities Say Crisis Over
Killing of White Man
Has Passed.
STREETS STILL
ARE UNDER GUARD

CHESTER, Pa. Oct. i3-Prompt ac-
tiOn OF the Chester city ana Delaware
county authorities IN mobilizng a large
force Of deputy sherins and citizens
reserves. following the killing OF a
white man and re Nounding of four
others by crazed Negro Saturday night
probably saved Chester from another
race riot, such as occurred in July 1911
Mayor w :. Mcdowell, OF Chester
tonight asserted That fear OF possible
rioting was dispelled The same Opin-
ion was expressed by Sheriff A. l..
Granger who. Wilh Mayor Mcdowell
directed The patrolling Of the streets OF
Chester.
Following the shooting ARRAY sa-
looms and poOlrOoms We're ordered
closed. As a precaution, 1t is probable
that those places will remain closed.
The reserves, who were recruited prin-
cipally from the special police forces
OF the industrial plants Of the section,
were stil on duty today.
No inquest has yet been conducted IN
the death Of Alexander Baxter, who was
shot 10 death by William Neeley, col
ored. John Murray, one OF the four
men wounded by the Negro as he ran
amuck On Saturday afternoon. Is ex-
pected to recover. An other victims OF
the Negro are out OF the Chester Hos
pital.
Neeley Is now in the county Jail al
Media, where he was taken after the
shooting Sheriff Granger said today
that Neeley would probably be given a
hearing in the county jail instead OF
being brought back TO Chester 10 an
swer the murder charge Neeley was
roughly handled by the mob which sur
rounded him after he had been captured
by Policeman John Talbot and barely
escaped being lynehed.
While all tension over the shooting
has apparently disappeared. the au-
thorit.es, are still keeping close watch
on Blackshavenl Bethel Court and
other Negro sections Of Chester. Be
cause Of the rainy weather it has not
been necessary to restrict the assem-
bladge of crowds.

TO may be that the railways OF the
South could never be a normal part OF
the railways OF the North. IL may be
that the railways Of the West could
never be a normal part OF the railways
OF the East. But this does not alter
The fact that In the United states there
are too many railroads by scores and
by hundreds. Some OF them have no
reason for existence, from the technical
point Of view, except as puny feeders
TO the great roads. Some OF them are
miserably poor excuses as servants OF
The public needing transportation But

Of such roads are required as feeders,

the old manner OF thinking in terms OF
rates for separate railroads, service by
separate railroads, liberation or separ-
ate railroads. They ought TO think,
and they will think. OF the group rail-

THE PEoPE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW

From the WicOmicO News.
Almost every day we hear the ques-
tion asked by many citizens: How does
this or that candidate stand on the
question of bonding the-county for in
ternal improvements OF course, this
question applies only TO the candidates
for the state Senate and General Assem-
blv. and this question is now such
live one in Wicomico county, il IS our
belief that each Of the gentlemen nomi-
mated on the Democratic and ltepubli-
can tickets for state senator and House
Of REPRESENTATIVES should come out
boldly through the newspapers and tell
the voters Just how they stand on this
matter.
That there has been a most decided
change 10 public opinion in Wicomico
county during the past year on the SUD-
iect OF bonding the county for purposes
OF building more roads and better
schools there can be no controversy.
Hundreds Of farmers who formerly OBJ
iected 10 the county being bonded for
ANYTHING have found out their mistake
and are now not only willing but anXi-
Gus TO see this matter brought TO vote
before the people so as to give auth
oritv for the going ahead with the con-
struction of certain yain highways and
bv-roads and the buliiing OF new school
houses and the Improvement OF old
ones Taxpavers have found their mis-
take in opposing bond issue in pre-
vious years, as their tax bills grew year
nv wear because Of the efforts being
made 10 CARRY on certain costly m
provements out OF the annual tax leVS.
Tn voters and taxpayers OF the county
have a right TO know how the cahdl-
dates on both tickets for the General
Assembly and the Senate stand on thls
question, for in our opinion, u Is the
most vital question which the repre-
sentatives from this county viii be call
cd on 10 act on in Annapolis TINS WIN
Ter and we also believe that many nun
dreds OF our people are so Vltally M
terested in this subject that they- VIII
refuse To vote for any candidate VINO
has NOT the manliness TO come out IN
the omen and let the people know where
he stands regarding county bonding.
NE are all OF the same opinion that no
hond should be issued until the people
have had the right OF a referendum on
tbe subject but the people do not ln':
tend 10 be fooled any more in their
represent8tiVes falling 10 pass an en-
abling act during the session OF the
General Assembly which VIII give them
rIuht Ia vote on this important mat
ter so we say with all frankness that
Mir. Charles r. Disharoon, Democratic
