MARVELOUS CHANGES HAVE
TAKEN PLACE; TIMES CHANGING.
Editors of The News: —
A prudential preparation and afar
leaching sagacity to anticipate some¬
thing of the future are evidences of
a superior civilization. The barba¬
rian cares only for the present; he
'•eve's in the dance or feast of mo¬
mentary enjoyment, heedless of all
those provisions for the future which
distinguish the civilized man. One
hundred years ago we had not a sin¬
gle wheel turned by steam. Today,
if all the home made contrivances
propeled by steam, gasoline and oth¬
er powers being utilized by inventive
genius w r ere to suddenly stop, we
vould have to rub out and turn over

engine and gang plow's; or say twen¬

liquor by its men before the a'cci

ed industrial form is saying to indi¬
viduals that no man who unsteadies
his nerves, befuddles his brain, aind
blinds his eyes by the use of liquor,

extensive, and we are taking so
many risks of speed, none but abso¬
lutely total abstainers should be al¬

running trains.” It says further that
the time has come when society can
and should take this matter of drink

and publish a list of railroads that
