The oiling of stris-ts expands. I.Ike
wise th? tomewhat greater comfort of
existence In the city. Let the work
of Improt'iuicnl go on. We will hope
that It takes epidemic form.
For n presidential campaign It Is
a wonderful exhibition of unlet The
lime lu .hlch a blow up may occtn- to
relieve the monotony grows very short.
The AmerlPnn has been Minvvii.it
istnutshcd to tlnd disposition upon
icutlon nf the isisslblllty of tank car
olief fro.-n the two railroads hore. (n
tsL-eive evpresslons of doubt that the
-allroails can be looked to for asIst-
ince at oil.
It has Ik en still more astonished by
he disposition of such ot the com-
taratlvtiy few ierms It has lisird
llscussing the mn)tcr to throw' up
heir 'latit's and not attempt to get
errlce from the railroads which
night readily he most vital.
That Is n new one on us In nil
.elds life. The breed of the latter
hrnw up their hands at notliln; in
he category of difficulties. They live
o meet and light those things and
o win oct them and do.
The tallroads theni-elves mty be
urprlspil to learn of uch attiliult in
he etitnp but It rctlis-ts only tbe en-
Ire loss ef I'oiilldence in them that
as come about through weary willi-
ng for freights and the breaking of
promNe upon promise of delivery.
So ciiufiiced and deplorable is the
dtuatlun that the payment nf fieig'.it
mil the fivlng to you of the number
if the car In which your material is
is In the yard ami ready for you to
get yoiti" Ireight from means nothing
The freight may be In the cur and I)
may not ; it may be in some other car
lu the nros or It may not couej for
days.
In the prevent emergency for t.ii'k
cars and loading racks the rail mi Is
have .in opportunity to redeem tnem-
selvcs lis public confidence If they wilt
They onn ('e It quickly by advising Hie
nil public thnt they have arrangisl lor
Hie ears and the engines to pull them
Hint thei Iwve arranged for the mate
rials for (he loading racks and the
mechanics to build them; that cars
mid cns'tHs have Iksmi sent In and
that they will utilize the yard room
they have for the purpose her.' to
load from r.0.000 barrels upward rer
lay ; that It now comes up to th lin-al
oil jMsiple to do their part by putting
stwli money as needed from the abund-
ance In the banks to the credit of a
fund fov carrying their end ot the
construction work.
We suggest that the eonimltte- Of
seventeen take Jills up directly with
tbe rn Crouds. We do not Itellevi the
latter are ns innihspiate as the pubtlc
has com- to Is'lleve them to be.
