It the railroad agitators would give their attention to making the roade more careful In the running ot their trains, keeping their trackage Iq better condition and hiring well paid and competent men for the re sponsible positions, It would mean more to the people vitally affected by the condition. They continue to be rate and bemoan the tact that rates ot travel are too high, that a poor man cannot travel as cheauly as he ought to, that It Is a hardship to ths people traveling over the different systems of our state and country. They don't seem to understand that the roads are going to let one thing make np for another, that if you reduce the rate of passenger service the road will just as surely pay leu attention to service and: consider them.
