It has become a question if these combinations are not now more powerful than the forces delegated to keep them within reasonable bounds: Organised with the best intentions they are but human and may become drunk with prosperity and power.

Unfortunately the sound of locomotive whistles often is an irritant to people living along the railroad right-of-way. It surely cannot be classed as a “ friend-maker.” Th© tight sleeper, the father who has just lulled his infant to sleep after having worn a path in the carpet, *be swain who is trying to catch a few winks of sleep before sunrise and the beginning of h hard, day at the office, the sick person trying to steal a few hours of rest from pain—all have a grievance when the locomotive whistle is sounded too long and too vigorously. And a grievance in the middle of the night assumes larger proportions than a grievance in the daytime. . * . It is a characteristic of people who work at night that they forget that most of the world is sleeping—or trying to sleep. Newspapermen on morning papers (and this editor has been guilty in the past) sometimes overlook the fact that peo- pte would prefer not to be interviewed over the telephone at midnight. And no doubt it is the same way with enginemen who have heavy hands on the whistle cord. Bnginemen have been cautioned not to sound ‘the whistle more than is necessary for safety and ’ to meet the requirements of train operation. We know that most enginemen are considerate, and if those who have been thoughtless in this regard Vrill remember the other fellow there will be many more friends along the line.—Southern Pacific Bulletin.
