A NEW RAILROAD WIZARD.
"I S tlie Missouri Pacific behind the Boise-to-Wells railroad pro
ject ?
That is a leading and for us a most important question.
It will likely not he directly answered, but the significance of
certain recent moves lead some close observers to conclude that
the program of rehabilitation of that system, under the guiding
hand of Benjamin R Bush, the new wizard of transportation in
this country, includes extension into this field for a connection
with the Western Pacific.
Whatever outside organization may be behind the Boise-to
Wells undertaking, it seems certain that it is to be carried to suc
cessful completion, and that after all is the Idaho desideratum ir
respective of means.
It is interesting, however, to contemplate recent develop
ments with respect to the Missouri Pacific separate and apart
from any local bearing.
Here we have a railroad that has been in sore straights, buf
feted hither and yon by the winds of a cruel adversity and at one
time apparently destined to end its career in the discard of a
monumental industrial disaster.
Little was known of Mr. Bush when lie took charge. There
was no reason, therefore, why the public should exhibit any con
fidence in him, his road or his plans for revival.
It is also true that practically nothing was known of Mr.
Harriman by the public until lie had quickened the dead Union
Pacific, which he took under about the same adverse circum
stances that characterized transfer of management of the Mis
souri Pacific to Bush's hands.
W ith the Union Pacific it was a case of receivership and junk
when Harriman took charge. It was not vastly different with
the Missouri Pacific when Bush took control of its affairs.
Without any special attention being attracted to the process,
excepting in close financial circles, the Missouri Pacific, under
the Bush management, has been firmly re-established as to f i-l
nances, and today its present earning power and its potentiality
are reflected in the fact that its latest reorganization bonds have
been heavily oversubscribed.
The analogy between the Union Pacific and the Missouri
Pacific is striking. They have gone through practically the same
experience, and the position of the latter at the present time E
such as to justify the prophecy by those who are in position toj
know the inside workings of the resurrection that it will become
a second Union Pacific.
In this connection it is pointed out that the sa ne financial
backing and counsel that was behind Harriman is behind Bush.
The public generally will give close attention from now on to
the progress made by the Missouri Pacific.
Out here interest in it will center around the known policy
of Mr. Busli for development of new territory—a policy that un
doubtedly has had its influence in attracting to it the powerful
combination that is now earnestly aligned with the corporation.
Mr. Harriman made the Union Pacific big by opening up
new fields contributing to a main line that would have continued
stale and unprofitable without such stimulating new business.
Mr. Bush is following in the Harriman footsteps.
It means western extensions.
.
MODERATION IN ALL THINGS.
HE New York World, a reformer of no mean power, says
that ''it is possible to have a religious Sunday without
bigotry or tyranny. It is also possible to have a liberal
Sunday without license and lawbreaking.''
The World was discussing a blue law that has been kept
ilive for many years by the courts. The records prove conclu
sively that the law has not resulted in any public good. On the
contrary it has been harmful in the creation of discord aiid hatred.
The World suggests that unless the legislature is afflicted with
"the same timidity that characterizes the courts," it will repeal
the trouble-making and ineffective enactment. If it shall not do
so, the World continues, "it will impeach itself as a body not truly
representative of the people for whom it pretends to speak."
Harsh legislation is not advisable in the minds of many lead
ers of religious thought. It operates exactly opposite to the claims
made for it as a rule, they point out. Instead of drawing people
to the church, they say, it repels them. Instead of putting people
in a more conciliatory frame of mind, it renders them more bel
ligerent and obstinate. Instead of turning them towards the
avenues of salvation, it turns them away from them. Instead of
creating sentiments of amity and justice it foments disturbance
and breeds retaliation.
These are suggestions that every element of society should
hear in mind. The public cannot he forced to drink, although led
up to the trough. Every atom of antagonism is aroused by such
a process. It is the part of wisdom, therefore, to indulge in mod
eration.
Sunday observance is most desirable, hut there is a wide di
vergence as to the methods of observance. Everybody cannot
accept a straigjit-laccd standard; everybody cannot be forced to
adopt stringent regulations prescribed by a few. There is no ne
cessity for going to extremes, and the farther we keep from them
on both sides the more real good will result.
The wise churchmen no longer counsel rigid laws for per
sonal conduct. They prefer to leave much to the individual. They
feel it is more their duty to set the individual in the right path. On
the other hand, no true citizen who is not a church member ad
vises or would tolerate unlicensed Sunday practices. Between
the. two we are becoming better every day.

RAILROAD SUES A MOTORIST.
Claim la For Damage ta Train and
Track In Crossing Collision.
It Is not uncommon frr Individuals
to sue railroad companle for damage
to property or personal Injury done by
a train, but It Is somewhat out of the
ordinary for a railroad to bsgln eult
against a motor car owner for dam
age done a train by a motor oar.
Such an action has been started by
the Minneapolis Sc SL Louis railroad
against George F. Smith, a farmer liv
ing southwest of Marshalltown, la.,
who, last summer, drove his motor car
Into an M. Sr RL L. train, derailing two
cars, and resulting In the death of an
employe of the company, William
Huffman of Peoria, HI., a watchman.
For damage to Its rolling stock,
track and roadbed, the railroad com
