Doesnt Trnvel Fop Pun
Far from being the great autocrat
the arbiter of things of magnitude the
president of a railway system be it
great or small Is a dealer In trifles
with a consideration for everything
Every accident large or small every
occurrence by which the road Is to loso
a dollar or to make a dollar comes to
the notice of the president The suc
cessful head of a railroad Is the ouo
who considers the details He Is the
mnn who makes the profits and he Is
the man who bns to face the music at
the directors meeting
When you see the bright smooth
running traveling palaces of the rail
way president trailing nlong behind
the long string of passenger coaches
you can be safe in the opinion that tho
occupant has not the softest snap on
earth You can also rest assured that
If he Is a success In his sphere he Is
