Ever since the railroads were turned
back to private ownership and opera
ton we have heard about the "deplor-
able condition. in which they were
restored to their owners by the govern
ment; how the rolling stock was
ruined, the roadbeds all gone and the
credit Of the companies destroyed. The
whole period of government operation
was pictured as a nightmare, and the
railroads have stood, hat in hand, beg
ging for relief from the disaster that
was brought upon them. And through
1t all, the man who had charge of the
operations held his peace.
Now we hear the other side. Govern
ment operation is distasteful to many
Of our people, but the facts should be
spread broadcast. The government
turned back to the roads 1905 more
locomotives; 26,Sl5 more freight cars
and 1,c51 more passenger cars than
they possessed before Federal control,
and Mr.. McAdoo declares they were in
condition to meet the greatest traffic
demands in their history. There is al
ways two sides, and maybe the woes
Of which the railroads. have complained
SO loudly are not so great as is their
desire to get a little bigger dip into
the treasury of the United States 1t
is refreshing to hear another side. -;

college, arose and proceeded to the
throne of the chosen one, accompan-
led on either side by Cardinals Logue
and Bisleti, respectively, deans of the
cardinal priests and the cardinal dea-
cons.
He was asked in Latin by Cardinal
Vannutelli, in accordance with custom,
if he accepted the election to be SUI
preme pontiff, and the new pope an
swered with the formal "Since it is
the will of Cod l. must obey"
Then the purple canopies over the
thrones of the cardinals were let
down, one by one, until only that over
the new pontiff remained. This was
done to show that the whole sacred
college rendered obeisance to the new
head of the church.
Dean Vannutelli thereupon asked
the new incumbent what name he
chose to take during his pontifcate,
and upon his reply "Pius XI," Mon
signor Sincere, secretary of the con-
clave, verified his election to the
papal chair,
Dons Papal Vestments.
The new pope then was escorted to
the ante room within the Sistine
SHAPED, where he discarded his car
dinaps robes. assisted by the con-
clavists, and the papal vestments,
which had been held in readiness
since the opening of the conclaye,
were placed upon him. These includ.
ed the white cassock, white sash,
white stockings, red slippers, a red
and gold mozetta, and finally the stole
of red worked with gold.
The pontiff, fully vested with the
papal garb and accompanied by his
! cardinals, thereupon returned to the
throne he had occupied in the Sistine
! chapel.
There the cardinals, according to
their rank, and headed by Vannutelli
began their first act of alteration tc
his holiness, kissing first his feet and
| then his hands, after which the pope
received them in embrace and bestow
ed upon them his first apostolic bene
diction.
! Attaches Pay Homage.
The "fisherman's ring" was placed
on his finger and he left the chapel
the whole assembly vending it's. way
through the Sala Ducale and the Sala
Regia, along the loggias to the, Sala
Clementina, the pope's official resi-
dence. All along the way he received
the homage of the attaches who
served during the conclave.
