Many railroad men, of course,
realize that great change IN
transportation is soon coming.
William Sproule, president of the
Southern Pacific Railroad, said
yesterday that what caused him to
0 some hard thinking was the
.anding in San Francisco Of man
that had flown from New York in
enc single day between sunrise and
dark. If man can do that ex-
perimentally for the Government
now, how long before the thing
will be done practically by up-to-
date transportation men!
Transportation through the air
on a great commercial scale prob
ably will be developed first in this
part of the world, for here the
need is greatest.
Real railroad men as regards
present earnings will not fear the
flying machine, even should they
fail to utilize it. That flying ma
chine, taking long-haul passengers
from railroads, will so greatly in
crease freight carrying as - make
railroad rights of wGg ayM ternls
nails more valuable than ever.
That's part Of the wisdom Of
Divine Justice. No really good
thing ever disappears with an
other good thing already existing.

On earth, in tie y1nsline eel

worry and uncertainty attached to
it, usually. And capital, with all
its worries, means some leisure
and a systematic share in what
labor produces.
