MKIXEN AS AN EXAMPLE.
Mellen obeyed orders, did private
monopoly's dirty work, and when ex
posure came his masters tried to
make him the goat.
He refused to be their sacrifice.
Can you blame him?
The men who have worked for Mel
len swear by him. He is Just and
generous. He knows railroading.
And his theory Is right that a coun
try'- transnortation ought to be con-I
nected up and run harmoniously
trollejB. rail lines, boats.
His mistake was in trying to apply
that theory for the benefit, not of all
the people, but of a few men who
wanted fb be masters of the people.
That was bis mistake, but he could
n't help it he had to hire out to the
employers who were in the market.
It is also your mistake, but you can
heln it.
You don't need to leave the control !
of transportation a public function
to private despots like .Rockefeller
and Morgan.
If Mellen could have hired to serve
the people of New England we believe
he would have served them gladly
and well.
It was his misfortune far morn than

History of White Hock-of Waukesha, j
Wis. j
Welch Brothers, the owners of the :
White Rock Mineral Spring at Wau-I
kesha, Wis., employed Colonel Hunt
ington as sales ninnager. One hun
dred thousand dollars was spent in
advertising and the sale of White
Rock did not Increase. It was de
cided to spend fifty thousand more
in advertising, and. like everything!
else which hns merit, began to sell
and has Increased In sale ever since.
White Rock Is a table and bar wa
ter and Is artificially carbonated.
Some eight or ten years ago Welch
Brothers sold the White Rock spring
for two million dollars.
With the advertising which the
Southern Pacific will do for the Ash
land sprnlgs, and with the merit our
springs have, why shouldn't the
