AMERICAN RAILROADS

The year 1880 marked the Tooth
anniversary Of the first regularly operated
steam railroad in the United States, the
Baltimore and Ohio, which in 1880 was on
ly 13 miles long. Other construction UNI
der way brought the total for the country
to % miles in that year.
By 1910 the mileage had increased to
2,818 and extensions were made with IN
creasing rapidity during the succeeding
years. When the railroad was SO years
old, in 1880, the United States had 93,671
miles.
The ten years between 1880 and 1890
was the greatest period of railroad build
ing. American roads built during that de-
cade totalled 1898 miles. The greatest
railroad mileage was reached in 1916,
when 254,251 miles were in operation.
Since 1916, owing to the abandonment
of a. number of Improbable short lines,
the mileage has been actually reduced,
being now about $4,000 miles. At pres
eht new construction is almost entirely
limited to adding second, third or even
fourth track to existing lines.
One of the most striking developments
in railroads has been the increase in the
size of locomotives. From a weight of
less than five tons 100 years ago, they have
been built larger and larger until today
many passenger locomotives weigh $50;
tons or more, while those used in freight
transportation range as high as 22O tons or
more. Al few specific types, exceed 400.
tons.
With the growing competition of the
automobile, truck and airplane, it is impos-
sible to predict what the next century Of
railroading may bring forth. It is safe to
predict, however, that for heavy freight
transportation the railroad will hold first
place for many years to come.

A CIVIL WAR TILT

Lincoln's reliance upon Stanton, his
great secretary of war, is well known They
did not always agree, however, and STAN
ton seems to have felt entirely free to OPP
pose his chief upon occasion.
Some official correspondence dug UP
by writer for the Boston Herald is re-
amarkablc for its illustration of this point,
as well as being an indication that few
words were wasted by these giants in maxi
ing their respective views known It seems
that Lincoln wanted a certain man appoint
ed an army chaplain. Stanton objected,
with apparent success, as the correspon-
dence quoted indicates:
Dear Stanton: Appoint this man
chaplain in the army. A Lincoln
Dear Mr.. Lincoln: He is not a
preacher. E. M. Stanton"
Dear Stanton: He is now. A. Lin
coin"
Dear Mr. Lincoln: But there is no va
cancy. E. M. Stanton
Dear Stanton: Appoint him chap
lain-at-large. A Lincoln"
Dear Mr.. Lincoln: There is no war
rant in law for that. e. NJ. Stanton
Dear Stanton: Appoint him anyhow.
A. Lincoln"
Dear Mr.. President: / will not. E.

The year 1888 will go down in history.
Just as our grandfathers talked of
the Revolutionary period and our fathers
of the Civil War era, so our children viii
refer back to 1888. The greatest social
changes in the history of our nation are
now taking place. Europe sits SPELL
bound at Americas daring. We, ourselves,
are almost too dazed to realize the transit
ton.
We are changing from an Individuals
tic society to one of cooperation There will
be anxious moments in this changing pro-
cess. but those who have adopted the phil
osophy of John Dewey in regarding each
experience. whether happy or sad. as
something to enrich ones life. will benefit
most from this experiment.
There IS too much humanity in the
world for this experiment not to succeed.
We may falter on the way, but the Ameri-
can people have never known the meaning
of the word fail
Frankly. We would rather live in 1888
than in any period in the history of Ameri-
ca For the first time we have patriotic
call without girding ourselves to kill That
in itself. would mark out the year 1888 as
an historic twelve months.

of a man is to tell him that he

Merchants who stock up with
the merchandise that people want
and then let them know about it
through newspaper advertising are
the ones who get somewhere.
The public should make q strong
and determined Gpr6test against
the unwise spending of public
money. 1t should be the duty of
every citizen to impress upon those
whose privilege it is to control the
public purse that they are truss
tees of the peoples funds and up
on them falls the duty of seeing
that the money received from
taxes is spent wisely. If they
waste public money. sooner or

The looks of a city has much to

Capital is the main spring from
which the wheels of industry OBJ

The home city should be known
as good city in which to live
and not good city to leave.

policy to which there seems to be
no answer.
Cooperation means working to-
