LET THE RAILROADS BE FRANK WITH THE PEOPLE.
The time seems opportune and the necessity urgent for another spe
cific statement from the great beads of the railway corporations of the
country.
For the past two years The Georgian and its predecessors have urged
upon the railroad magnates the necessity of dealing more frankly and
confidentially with the people. During the progress of Mr. Hoke
Smith's great campaign for governor, w* urged that the electorate of
the state should be Informed and educated by hearing speeches from
President Spencer, President Hanson and Chief Counselor Baxter and
other great lights of the railroad world In order that the ballots of
tbs autumn election might be cast with an Intelligent conception of
both sides of the vital, economic and commercial questions at stake be
fore the people.
The railroads have come now to recognise that policy and are put
ting It Into effect. President Plnley, of the Southern; President Harrlman.
of the Union Pacific, and now even Pierpont Morgan himself, come to
confess that they have not been fair and trank enough with the people
to explain the conditions whldh excite popular protest.
The time has come again when the people need some explanation
of the assertion by the railroads of financial distress In their operations.
What the people do not understand and cannot understand until It Is
explained. Is why the railroads can fall to be making-money when by
their own confession they are doing a larger volume of business both
freight and passenger than they have done In their history before.
It seems an anomaly for the-railroads to urge In one breath that their
service and equipment are handicapped by the enormous volume of freight
and passenger business handled by their terminals and at the same time
declare that they are not making money to pay their bonds, and In some
Instance* to even pay the Interest on their bonds.
It la this statement upon which the people need enlightenment. The
people are neither unreasonable nor unjust. If there Is any reconcilia
tion between these contradictory conditions and It can be made plain, the
l>eople are willing to see It.
Is It because the necessity for the Increase of equipment the double
tracking of railroads, the buying of great quantities of new engines and
uew cars are consuming money so rapidly that even the vast revenues
of business do sot make U good?
Or Is It because the railroads upon their watered stock are doing
business also upon borrowed money and that the present conditions of
popular and legal dissatisfaction with their methods has so far depreda
ted their securities that they are no longer able to borrow money In the
markets of the world to carry on their tremendous operations?
Whatever the truth In the matter may be the people ought to be In
formed of It plainly and clearly If the people are expected to be either
fair or considerate In their dealings In the matter.
Abstractly and upon the surface the argument of consistency and sin
cerity Is against the railroads, ir after a clear, plain statement the railroads
magnates can reconcile these discrepancies and make plain the fact
and the unavotdablllty of their present predicament, we are prepared to
believe that both the people and their representatives are not foolish
enough to oppress or to really Injure the railroads.
Perhaps we shall hear the facts In this matter from the conference
now being arranged between the president and Mr. Morgan and his
friends. Perhaps some railroad president will be delegated to commit to
publicity the real situation as It affects the great transportation lines.
But whatever may be don*. The Georgian desire* to emphasise once
more the fact that the people must be fairly and clearly dealt with If
they are expected to be fair and clear and just In their relations to the
railroads of the future.
THE BROUGHTON TABERNACLE OREAT ENTERPRISE.
The Tabernacle Raptlst church and Its very remarkable pastor are
going to give on Sunday afternoon another evidence of the Indomitable
courage and th* Incomparable enterprise which have Illustrated the whole
career of both pastor and people In this twentieth century city.
There Is not one man In fifty thousand or one congregation In ten
thousand who would not have been discouraged In so groat an enterprise
as an auditorium by the already complete arrangements of the Atlanta
Auditorium-Armory.
Neither Dr. Broughton nor his Tabernacle people are built that way.
The Armory-Auditorium Is to be built, and It will be a great building. Dr.
Broughton and his people realise that. Atlanta Is also being built along
lines of marvelous rapidity and growth, that It Is going to be a groat city
and that there will be room and need within Its limits not only for one
but for two auditoriums, and because the vast work which Dr. Broughton
and the Tabernacle people are doing cannot be accomplished within an
auditorium belonging to other people or th* general public, thla magnifi
cent working combination Is putting Its shoulder to the task of building
a great auditorium of Its own.
The work now seems so far assured that the fiastur of the Taber
nacle feels Justified In announcing to tie world formally and definitely
that the auditorium will be surely and speedily built. And so the hearts
of the Tabernacle people and the heart of the pastor propose to stir
themselves and asraken their friends by a groat celebration of th* launch
ing of this structure on Sunday afternoon.
Rev. Dr. John Gordon, who Is th* right haad of Russell Conwell's
great Temple church In Philadelphia, will be her* to make an address.
Dr. J. B. Hawthorne, th* brilliant and beloved Baptist minister of Rich
mond. formerly of the Pint Baptist church of Atlanta, will also be a par
ticipant. and some twenty or thirty prominent cltlxens of Atlanta and
Georgia will make speech** which will be strictly confined la length
to five minutes on the platform.
It will be a great occasion and the Incarnation Into one afternoon of
heroic courage and of unflinching Christen enterprise.
No man In Atlanta or out of It who honors the** groat qualities can
fall to give Dr. Broughton the benefit of his presence, of his voice and of
his enthusiasm upon thla auaplcous and notable occasion.
