There is no excuse for spreading rails.
There is no excuse for excessive
speed. There is no excuse for flimsy
coaches that cannot hold to the track.
It is time that the responsibilty for
railroad wrecks was placed where it
belongs—and that is at headquarters.
In the matter of rigging the stock
market the American railroad mana
ger has no superior. In the matter of
providing safe and expeditious facili
ties for transportation he has no in
ferior in any nation of the first rank.
He can manipulate politicial conven
tions. He can debauch legislatures.
He can send his paid attorneys to
congress and sometimes put them on
the bench. In these matters he is a
master, just as he is a master in the
art of issuing and juggling securities.
It is only in the operation of railroads
that he is deficient. The mere detail
of transporting lives and property
safely and satisfactorily he seems to
regard as unworthy of his genius. His
equipment is usually inadequate. His
road bed is generally second class or
worse. His employes are undisciplin
ed and his system is archaic.
Whatever the causes may be, the
fact remains that, judged by the re
sults of operation, the American rail
road manager is incompetent, and the
records of death and disaster prove it.
