The Progress-Service
Train
A unique railroad train will set
out from the country’s metropolis
about the middle of the month to
tour New York state. It is called
the Service-Progress Special and
is a project of the New York Cen-
tral railroad. By means of exhi-
bits and pictures the special will
portray progress in steam locomo—
tive development from theexperl-
mental tea kettle to the modern
fast passenger engine.
In one car there will be hand
carved models of working engines
from the beginning of the steam
engine. Moving pictures w.ill.be
shown outside the car, depicting
modern railroad operations, han-
dling farm products and other
transportation services. The rela-
tion of roads, industry and agrl.
culture will be shown by exhibits
as well as by pictures. There will
be multicolored posters illustrat-
ing other phases of railroading.
This is an interesting education-
al feature which might well tour
farther than the Empire State.
Everybody knows enough about
the railroads to kick about servtce
and rates and to offer inexpert
advice as to their management.
Few persons know much of the ro-
mance of their development or
the true progress they have made
and the service they render.
Punishing Cities
“The next war,” says \V. B.
Warden, an English editor, “will
last but a few days. I mean it
literally. And in those few days,
with the new air and gas attacks
which have been planned by head-
quarters’ staffs, London and Paris
will be wiped out in a night.”
If this is the prospect, real cs-
tate in any great city is a pretty
poor investment from now on.
Not only will the big city he
most vulnerable in future warfare,
but it will be less important in the
ordinary life of a country in nor-
mal times. Every metropolis has
grown up for good economic rea-
sons, but the economic situation is
changing greatly with the im-
provements in communication and
transportation and distribution of
power. People no longer are
obliged to live in the city where
they work. Less and less are they
obliged to work in great centers
of population. The work itself is
spreading out. Congested com-
munities are being decentralized.
Talk of New York or Chicago,
therefore. having a population of
30,000,000 or 40,000,000 at some
future date, based on past growth,
is nonsense. ‘
War, everyone hopes, will not
destroy such cities, and perhaps
that can be avoided only by pre-
venting war altogether. But even
if they are saved from violent
destruction, peace may destroy
them by the slow process of ren-
dering them unnecessary.

an. Railroad Report.
(Anecnia Sentinel.)
it will be well if hard-headed men
of Consonant. who have pride in our
record and institutions. and know bus-
iness. read with care the best record
they can get of what the Joint New
England railroad committee has rec-
ommended to the governors of New
England.
(New Haven Register.)
We renew our defiance to those
hungry outside systems which have
long been watching their chance to
grab our railroad business and run it
as a side line. Some of us may have
thought, in recent years. that. any ar-
rangement which would give us rail-
road service would be acceptable. But
we may get from the decision of the
committee new faith that practical
men believe New England. where the
railroad business in America largely
began. is still able to stand alone in
railroad independence.
(Providence Journal.)
It. will not require much reflection
on the part of careful and intelligent
readers of the report of the New Eng-
land railroad committee which .was
made public yesterday to persuade
them of its visionary and impractical
character.- It bases the highly desir-
able rehabilitation of the "New Hav-
en" road. for example on the active
interests. and leaves us with the con-
viction that this will be exceeding-
ly difficult. not to say impossible. to
co-opcration of a great variety of in-
lain.
(Hartford Courant.)
The repoit on the railroads of New
England certainly has aroused inter-
est, which is the hut essential. a
lot or comments are printed elsewhere
this morning. The question of con-
solidation \vith trunk lines is discussed
with various views. but there seems to
be a general protest against the mo-
tion that the bond-holders and clock-
holders should advance money to en-
able the company to continue to carry
on among its fixed charges various
losing transactions of the past like the
guarantee of , the Westchester bonds.
\Vhy should a. bondholdcr in the
main road sacrifice 40 per cent. of'his
security in order that the holder of a.
New York. Westcheeter a; Boston
bond should get the full interest on
his bond. which the company does not
earn. Certainly the security holders,
who hone benefited by reestabliahment
of the company. Should share in the
reduction as well as the original own-
ers and superior creditors.
Like Days of "if.
(Bridgeport Telegram.)
Upstate Connecticut cities ar'e
dashed with khakl‘an'd penetrated by
bugle notes. and the summer hustle
is augmented by frequent parades of
soldiers under arms. marching behind
bands. There are recruiting tents on
the green in Waterbury. and on old
State House square in Hartford. and
there is no less activity in Bristol and
Manchester and other towns and cities
in the vicinity. in many respects.
the scene is like that of the summer
of 1917. when the Connecticut units
were filling up. preparatory to going
to France.
There is no reason why the Connec-
ticut national guard should tilt at-
tmc'. as much attention and draw as
many recruits today. as it did in the
spring and summer of 1917. Just after
the regiments had returned from the
Mexican border. and just before the
consolidated 102d regiment embarked
for France. Connecticut men have
never yet failed to respond lo the
varied opportunities which the nation-
al guard affords. They will not fail
now. when they are acquainted with
what it is. and what its aims and its
work include.
The Railroad Problem.
(Bridgeport Times)
The facts are brought to the atten-
tion of the mercantile community and
of such of the general public as may
be interested because the solution of
the railroad problem, wihch is vital
to New England. requires the applica-
tion of the collective sense. The
problem is big enough and urgent
enough to demand the close scrutiny
of all persons who come in first hand
touch with transportation. especially
such as the manuiacturers and mer.
chants. in the absence of controlling
public opinion there will be some de-
lays which will be costly and more
mismanagement of properties which
already have been too much misman-
aged.
(New Haven Times Leader)
This road is doing the biggest bus-
iness in its history and at the largest
cost over charged the public. .
The business ought to be profitable.
and if it isn't then there is something
radically wrong with the manage-
ment of the property. That conclusion
is irresistible.
The Railroad Problem.
. (New Britain Herald.)
When a man is sick a diagnosis is
advisable to consider all symptoms in
their relation to each other. This is
what the committee has done. It has
concentrated its attention on the most
alarming symptoms. the railroad situ-
ation. and its conclusions are convinc-
ing. although its prescription and the
diet recommends are not altogether
to our um; and will prove unpopular
with the public. But a start has
been made and there is hope that
New England will benefit thereby.
The committee has not been guilty of
evasion. It has painted a picture of
conditions on the "New Haven" road.
New England's greatest single artery
of commerce. and has not attempted
to soften the tones. For that. we
should all be thankful because it pro-
vides a mark from which we must
start on our way beck to the . point
from which we slipped downward.

A Centrist.
(Waterbury American)
Roosevelt and Finchot roused us to
the urgent necessity of conservation.
Their aggressive ways served the case
admirably. lint they also stirred up
intense resistance by powerful inter-
ests. Harding by other methods
serves to conclllate hostile forces and
at least to convince the popular mind
of the essential harmony of the urea-
ed interests. so far as they an legiti
mate. and thus brings, public opinion
to beer as a regulator.
At Chicago.
(N. Y. World.)
There are two ways to organiz'e a
third party around the person of a
recognized leader or around a great
principle. At the Chicago farmer-a
labor meeting there was no leader or
principle to command the enthusiastic
support of the quarreiling groups or
to cause them to forget their differ-
ences and jealousiee. Mere discontent
undefined is not a paramount issue to
create harmony where discord Jangles.
