Paying The Piper
(From the Manufacturerg Records

THE Providence journal calls attention to
4 the fact that two tracks of electric rail
way in Massachusetts have been abandoned
because they could not be operated except at
a heavy loss, and the Journal warns the peo-
pie that other railways may be abandoned fee
the same reason.
It is very simple to denounce the railways,
very simplegto say that they shall not raise
theirsrates Of fare, and very easy to say that
they must go on steadily losing money, but the /,
owners Of railroads are not going to keep on
piling up debts which can never be paid and
many mile of steam road as well as electric
road will be abandoned to the loss Of people
along the line, unless railroads, steam and cleo
trio, are enabled to make profit.
No man is going to keep business that is
steadily carrying him more and more heavily
into debt, even though his customers may strf-
fer his quitting the business.
There is no law hearth that can compel
man to keep on running corner grocery when
it is losing money every day. The people in the
neighborhood may need the groceries, but the
grocer himself will decide whether he is going
to quit the job or not regardless Of the needs
Of the folks who have been buying from him.
Until people get this simple matter into their
minds they will keep on railing at business in g
terests of all kinds, bue in the end will have to
pay the penalty Of walking where the electric
railroad has been abandoned, or doing other
things that are inconvenient and costly when
they have driven other interests out Of bust
ness.
We cannot get in this world just what we
would like to have; we cannot force other peo-
pie to do just what we wish they would do, and
so all of us have to make the best Of the situa-
ton and sometimes pay more for a ride than
we formerly paid or more for pound Of flour
or for a pound Of meat than we once paid, but
denunciation will not get us anywhere. twill
not give us a car ride. nor the pound Of flours5
nor the pound Of meat.
