Miss Belinda rocked excitedly.
"How that Kitty Wells will tlx up

"Good-by," said Belinda. There
was little news of the new dentist.
Ball house was far away In It's
walled-ln garden', and those who ven
tured Inside did not seek out the gar
rulous Miss Stebblns. The latest in
formation that she could bring to her
friend, was that the good-looking
young man whom she had noticed en

grass regularly as she passed, or

"Linda" be spoke gently, "I am go

"WhereT" she querulously inquired.
Caleb smiled.
"To the dentist's," he said.
Belinda regarded him with unaccus

"Well," she exclaimed, "I reckon you
can't hurry away from there.1
Her brother laughed.
"I can't, and that's a fact," he said.
Miss Stebblns gazed after him
thoughtfully.
"So Caleb's havln' his teeth fixed,"
she said. "Well, I wondered what's

"I didn't say," replied Miss Steb

"Shouldn't think Caleb could get

"It's been the only time be could

Down the road came a small closed

driving the car was a very pretty and
apparently capable young woman.

"Your wife," gasped Belinda. "The

"Then who," she asked quickly,

"That," answered the smiling
Rosalie, "Is my student brother. He

Belinda found her voice.

The Future of the Railroads in the Light of Public
Opinion, by C. H. Markham, President of the Illinois
Central System.
Editor's Note C. H. Markham is
president of one of the greatest rail
road systems in the world. He speaks
with the voice of abfolute authority
and knowledge. His opinions are ac
cepted and hailed by railroad execu
tives throughout the United States
and because of his close touch to the
executives of other railroads what he
says may well be considered a voicing
of the sentiment of the American
rairoads as entertained by their gov
erning heads.
For twenty years the American pub
lic has withheld sympathy for the
problems of the railroad, problems
that were vital to the welfare of the
public. .
For twenty years the American rail
road has proven too often to be the
football of peanut politics, the "hor
rible example" for the pointing finger
of demagogues and the sounding board
for the more or less silver tongues
of spellbinders.
Constructive legislation has been
hindered rather than helped by this
attitude for in their desire to please a
suspicious public 'even fair minded
legislators have leaned so far toward
repressive legislation that the con
structive sort has been lost and en
tangled in the maze of restrictive red
tape of the former.

the city and a lessening of cost to the

rather than attacked from varying
angles that neither solved the prob-1
em or tended toward the creation or
mutual benefit.
Both Sides Blamed.
In thus placing blame upon the pub- under which their employes shall
lie, I do not wish to give the impres- work; while to management is given
sion that I believe raliway men al- the power of directing operations with
ways have followed the blameless in these limitations. But I hold for
course; in fact I hold them jointly, management a greater task, that of
responsible for the mistakes of this I impressing upon public opinion the
dark period. I believe they erred in) need of constructive policies, and of
not pursuing at all times a policy or
takinir the public into their complete
confidence and telling the public frank
ly what their problems were and what
was being done, or should be done, to
solve them. Railway men have large
ly pursued a policy of reticence where
their own actions were involved, seem
ingly proceeding upon the theory that
the public did not need their counsels.
Recent railway history has proved that
their attitude was wrong.
But, regardless of where the blame
is to be placed, the fact remains that
the impression gained popularity that
the railroads needed no protection.
That, in fact, they were entitled to no
protection, and that the public wel
fare could best be served by attacking
railway management, embarrassing it
and putting every hindrance in its
way. Every action undertaken by the
railroads looking toward an improve
ment in their capacity for rendering
service was viciously attacked; every
application for rates which would pro
vide revenues sufficient for operating
expenses, fixed charges and a return
which would be attractive to the cap
ital needed for financing extensions,
improvements and betterments was
bitterly fought; hampering legislation
and restrictions were adopted, increase
ing the cost of Tendering: transporta
tion without increasing tlie capacity
for it. Baiting the railroads became
popular political spoil. The public
grew to look upon the critic of the
railroads as being always worthy of
belief, and the defender of the rail-
roads as being always in the wrong.
Road in Future.
My optimism for the future of the
railway situntion is based upon a be
lief that this deleterious period is
passing. One finds it still cropping
out in some quarters, but it is on the
wane. We as a people seem to havn
learned the lesson the last few years
have taught us; namely, that the fu
ture of our country is tied up with
the well-being of transportation, and
that the two must develop together.
But, even though I entcrta!n an op
timistic belief in the future of Ameri
ca's second largest industry second
only to agriculture I believe there
still remains a great and pressing need
for further public education on rail
way questions. The public must be
constantly reminded of what it has at
stake in a solution of railway problems.
Our efforts must not lag.
One of the most important steps, I
believe, in creating a wholesome pub
lic sentiment which will assure prog
ress in transportation is inspiring pub
lic confidence in the men who stand
at the head of America's ereat trans-
portat ion systems. I have been in'
railway work a great many years and
I know the calibre of the men who
hold positions of trust in the railway
industry. I know them to be honest,
conscientious men, trained in their quaint our patrons with railway prob
calling, and I know their ambition Is, jems and the best methods of their

agencies in the service they shall give,
the rates they shall charge, the wages
they shall pay and the conditions
i outlining what those policies should
be. Railway management is the trus
tee of vast properties valued at nearly
$19,000,000,000, and it would be
derelict to duty if it did not exert its
utrw.st effort toward construction as
against destruction, toward progress
as against retrogression.
When we are ill we call upon men
trained in the diagnosis and treatment
of human ailments to effect a cure;
when questions of jurisprudence arise
we consult the best legal minds at
our disposal to guide our actions; in
railway matters men trained in that
science should be our advisers. In the
consideration of every public ques
tion there ' always is proposed a ple
thora of untried remedies, fake cures,
quack panaceas; these have exercised,
in the past, too great an influence pon
public thought in railway matters.
The first principle of railway prog
ress is the necessity of placing at the
disposal of the railroads a net income
which will be sufficient to pay obliga
tions and attract the savings of im
provements and betterments may be
carried out. The only source of this
revenue is in the rates charged for
transportation service. "What the
traffic can bear" is the misnomer. The
movement of traffic can be more se
riously hampered by physical inabil
ity to handle it than by rates which
seem high as compared with those of
another period. Rates, of course,
should be so distributed as to allow
for an easy flow of products from pro
ducer to consumer, but the importance
of protecting the railroads against
rates which will impair service tut.
easily lost sight of In our desire to
protect other industry from ratet
which might upset the scale of price
, adjustments.
Oppressive Regulations.
Another important element in assur
ing i-Ailwav roirress is the need lor
curtailing oppressive regulations which
increase the cost of producing trans
portation without increasing the capac
ity for producing transportation. In
one of the states in which the Illinois
' Central operates bills were introduced
and passed for passage in the recent
session of the legislature which, if they
had been passed and approved, would
have increased the expend.tures of the
railroads of that state more man
tinnnonooo annually without in any
way increasing their efficiency. Prac
tienllv the same situation has existed
in the regular sessions of every staU
legislature of the forty-eight states foi
years past. Fortunately for the rail-
I roads and for the public, which must
underwrite the railroads Dins, vnt
measure to which I have referred fail
ed, but that has not been the hlstor)
of such legislation. Too often the ill
advised burden has been placed. The
cumulative etTect of this shortsighted
ness has been to place the railroadi
under great handicaps and to increaw
unnecessarily the cost of transporta
t,0r, linn nf the railroads lies in the
establishment and maintenance of a
wholesome public sentiment toward
them. The public should bear in mind
that whatever hurts the railroads hurt
the public. Anything that affects rail
way service and rates detrimentally is
opposed to the public welfare, for any
thing that increases the cost of trans
portation without a comparable better
ment of service has a bearing upon
rates. The welfare of the railroads
and the public welfare are so inter
woven that it is impossible to separate
them. That the public nas not ween
