The Roads and Their Owners.

The controversy in Congress over
the railroads ended as was expected
and as was right. The owners of the
roads were entitled to the return of
their properties, and it was so ordered.
Imposed upon those owners now is
large duty. They must operate their
properties in a way satisfactory to the
public. In order to accomplish this.
the way, it may be said frankly, must
be an improvement on the old way
the pre-war way. Mueh-too much
of the complaint then heard about
railroad management was well found
ed. 1t took the public too little into
account. "The public be dashed!" was
sentiment that inspired too many
railroad policies. The public is tired
of being dashed, and demands instead
proper consideration.
It will be wise and good business for
the railroad owners and managers to
heed this demand. The fight for gov
ernment ownership and operation of
railroads has just begun, and those
conducting it will be close and keen
observers of all that is done now un-
der private ownership and operation.
If there is reason afforded at any time
about anything for criticism, criti-
cism will be forthcoming, and the pub
lie asked to give attention.
Organized labor does not like the
new legislation-considers it inimical
to labor's interests. But there appears
no good ground for the appraisement.
Under the law all railroad employees
should be able to secure fair terms and
treatment; and that is all they can
properly ask.
We have tried both private owner
ship and operation and government
control and operation. The former
showed deficiencies and some abuses
and the latter proved very expensive
The experience has not been lost on
US. We want now, and must have, a
railroad transportation adequate to the
country's growing needs and at rea-
sonable cost. The service must meet
with popular approval.
To this end both employers and EN-.
ployes must bend their energies if sue
cess is to be achieved. They must work
together with regard to the public in
terests no less than to their own inter
ests. Indeed, the public interests are
their interests. An injury to the one
is an injury to the other.
As many believe, government owner.
ship and operation of railroads would
be the entering wedge for state social
ism; and there has been no pronounce.

our public affairs az socialism would

continue as the basis Of activity in this
country, may well desire to see oul
railroad transportation problem, nov
that it has been returned to private
hands, solved in q way to satisfy all

SHOOTING STARS.
By PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Grim Humor.
The comic picture makes me smile
As gay strabismic folk
Commit assaults in reckless style,
And say it's all joke.
It's when some youngster red and stout
Attempts with dainty choice
To pull his fathers whiskers out
That do most rejoice.
I like to watch the burglars play
With lantern, rope and dirk;
It's fine to see boss SO gay
Lambast bonehead clerk.
Some day fierce cannibals they'll show
Where victims hold their breath,
And when the feasting starts, I know
I'll laugh myself to death.
