HE IJCSSON* OP THE STULKK. I
There Is a lesson in the proposed;
*at railroad strike which it would
well for us as a nation to learn,j
il to protit by.
Probably a very small per cent of
5 membership of the brotherhoods,
len tli^y voted on the proposition;
strike, had ever Riven serious
sught to the far reaching effects I
their action should it come to an j
tual walkout. The aame can be
id of the cit'zenship of the country
large. Strikes had been of so freent
occurrence during the past half
itury, and the business of the
untry had suffered such small
ecks therefrom, that we had been
lied into a talse sense of security.
In the great crisis, which has been
r a time averted. however, the
untry has at last been awakened
the enormous power of organized
)or. But even now we would not
fully alive to this great power had
not been threatening the very life
the nation.
Few of the masses of the people
d ever realized how fully were the
llroads the arteries through which
ursed the commercial life blood of
? nation. Not until we were
reatened with a stoppage of that
p giving stream did we awaken to
i dire peril which such action porlded.
Only within the past few
eks have we begun to appreciate
1 extent of the want, the suffering.
5 colossal losses that must have
'vitably resulted had the strike maialized.
But now that we are at last awako
the real sigflcance of the situation
it confronts us. we should profit by
r knowledge. We should see to It
once that no similar peril is ever
lin permitted to threaten us.
We mast recognize the fact that
? railroads are an absolute necity
to national life; that it is now
moral and patriotic duty incuniit
upon not only the managers,
t upon the employes as well, to
?p the roads in operation.
Yes. we know all about the rights
labor, and of that proud boast that
are all free born American citijs.
But when a small per cent of
? nonnlo oif ^nr oo *?*
- |/v.v/p>ui vt?.tavi no uiuiia^rin ui an
eratives, have reached the point
ion the life of the nation ia absoely
at their mercy, then that
all per cent ceases to be free in
? full sense of the word. They are
und to a higher duty than self in-j
est. They are in bondage to the
?at cause of universal humanity. J
ey have made themselves absolute-l
necessary to their fellows and are'
)T free to follow their own inclinans.
They have become a part of
? machinery that moves a nation,
d must bear the responsibilities
it accompany the position.
We must realize that for the railid
man to quit his post (unless a
mpetent substitute is at hand to
?ume his duties! is Just as repsonde
as a violation of train orders
d fraught with as great peril to
s public safety. The railroader
ist be brought to see that he owes
vacred duty to his country, not
sn second to that of the soldier,
e soldier guards our homes and;
r honor; the railroader guards our
rv life. He should not destroy
it which he guards.
A united nation should insist that
?se men who thus hear the burdens

nil he fairly dealt with. The thou
ads of men who daily and hourly,
pose their lives to the perils of th *j
Is that we may prosper and live In
in fort should have the full weight

NARROW SUCTION A I, TTTKRANCE.
[t remains for the Hoston Post to;
jress the meanest, narrowest, secnai
comment on the Federal Aid1
r that has come under our notice,
nerally throughout the North,
st. West and South editors of,
>ry creed have prais^l the law;
it brings Federal aid to road
ilding in the States. With almost
inimity the editorial writers have
:en a non-partisan view, a patriotic
w, of this measure that was pass ,
by both houses of congress with:
overwhelming vote from men of
h predominant parties. In charerizing
this measure as an adverng
scheme, the Post says:
'There is the Wilson administra-1
n's $75,000,000 good roads mean-,
!, which Is expected to build many
les of fine road in the South and
BE LANCASTER NEWS FRC
West. where the States have neglect- p
ed the work and where votes frequently
grow by the roadside."
Following this outbreak the Post
goes further and calls the Bankhead
bill a contribution to the "pork barrel
fund." The editor of the Post
is no doubt informed that his charac-'
terization of this law is absolutely
untrue, but it would not serve his
narrow end to tell the whole truth
about the matter. The Federal aid
bill is not sectional because it so
uppvua inai me large states tbat
get the bulk of the appropriations
happen to be in the West and South.
The Post should not forget that for
many decades New England has
grown rich because of Federal laws
that bestowed especial favors on that
section. There is no State in the Union
that has received more favor
from Federal law than has Massachusetts
and the benefit that will go
to the West and the South through
Federal road aid is a mere pittance
to the benefit that New England has
secured through Federal protection
of her every interest.
When he speaks of those States
that have "neglected" their roads
we wonder if the Post editor ever
considered that some of these States
are many time the size Massachusetts,
with only a fractional part of
her wealth. And does he not know
that Massachusetts has been enabled
to get rich and build fine roads to
every section because of favors that
were not extended to other States. It
is precious little aid that the great
agricultural States have heretofore
gotten from Washington and that
section that would begrudge the
crumb thrown to them is indeed of
a selfish nature. If wealth counted,
Massachusetts would get more than
most other States, for her resources
are developed. But the Bankhead
bill is designed to help those States
that most need aid and whose development
will be more rapid with the
building of good roads. The Post
will not gain much respect from editorial^
of this kind.?Southern Good
Roads.
