Whenever a heavy snow or shet storm occurs the question upperraost iii
the public mind is: Are the street cars unning2'
This is perfectly natural because more than a million riders a day use the
carso Of the Public Service Railway. ern@vt ~
When things go right nobody asks questions; when they go wrong
everybody wants to know why.
Twice whhin thirty days the railway service has been exceptionally hard
hit by storms. The February experience is an old story, but its effects are
still felt. The combination Of rain, snow, set, high winds and suddenly
dropping temperature, which marked Friday night and early Saturday morn
ing played havoc with the railway system.
Friday afternoon the temperature vas 45 degrees Rain was
falling and the snow and ice Oh the streets we're melting last. Every
car track was a water course, as most of the street cutters were
choked with ice. Within twelve hours the temperature dropped SO
degrees to within striking distance of zero Every water pool in the
streets was transformed into ice, which froze over tracks and blocked
cr lines in dozen of places.
While the temperature vas falling the wind was rising, and the overhead
and wind and weight at ONE HUNDRED AND FOUR different points on the
system.
All of these breaks occurred during the night, and every break meant an
interruption of service. Night crews and day crews worked all through the
storm making repairs, but it was beyond the power of humans to remedy all
defects within a few hours. In some instances before power could be e
stored ears were frozen to the tracks.
Under the conditions it was not q question of keeping cars time, it
was a most difficult problem to keep them going at all.
Winter weather, even without storms, exacts IFS toll from the street car
Sudden changes in temperature, slippery rails o. sllshy streets SAIL contribute
to the gripping of cars to a degree which makes it impossible to maintain
schedules.
Any damage, however slight to the mechanism of a car puts it out Of
ue temporarily and hurts the service. The extent to which the service is
affected by street and climatic conditions will be realized when it is known
our records show that during the nine days iron February 70 to warren o
period the shops repaired 2443 cars, many of which had been damaged prior
to February rs.
These facts are brought to public notice to show that the company is at
present confronted with almost insuperable obstacles, due to natural causes
and that it is putting forth its best efforts to surmount them and provide
service

MEETING POPULAR APPROVAL
President-Elect Harding Consulting
With Big Men of the Nation to
Prepare for Coming Events.

Platforms may not be programs,
as we have been assured by an emf
nent political authority; but it is
certain that there are those to whom
promises are things to be fulfilled.
We should hesitate to guess how
many of Senator Harding's sixteen
million supporters voted for him
specifically because of the note
worthy promises which he made
during the campaign; but we are
confident that not one who did so
now has cause to feel disappointed
or betrayed Comment was made
some time ago upon his frank full
filment of the promise concerning
the participation of the vice-presi-
dent in administrative affairs, an
incident of gratifying significance.
The nation is now watching the full
filment of another pledge, to enter
into conference with and take coun-
sci of representative men, so as to
get into touch with the mind and
heart of the people, and it is seeing
Senator Harding perform that work
with a breadth of thought and sim
certify of purpose inafllibly foretok-
ening the most profitable results.
1t would be difficult to conceive
anything more suspicious Of prac-
tical benefit to the incoming admin
istration and therefore to the nation
which it is 20 serve than such a SER
les of conferences as the president
elect is holding, in preparation for
his work as the chief executive.
Among his first counsellors was one
who had been governor of the fore
most state of the Union, a justice OF
the supreme court of the United
States, and the candidate of one of
the great parties for the presidency.
Another had been three times the
presidential candidate of the other
great party, and also secretary OF
state of the United States, and had
for many years enjoyed such a pop
ular following as few men in our
history save been able to command.
A third had been secretary OF war,
secretary of state, and United States
senator, and in each place had by
his own commanding personality
added to the distinction OF the Of
flee. Others were the governor OF
a great state, conspicuous for his
progressive efficiency; and one OF
the principal executive heads OF one
of the greatest railroad systems in
the country.

any thoughtful and sincere person
could fail to appreciate the propri-
