RAILWAYS LOSE
T
BY PRESIDENTS
Full Fares Paid by Presi

Care Runs Costs Up
Precaution Is Strain
By Frederic A. Storm
(United Press White Houm
Correspondent)
WASHINGTON (UP) Railroads
lose money when they carry the
president of the United States, but
they love It.
The loss Is not a matter of free
rides, for the president and thou
of his party pay the same fares as
do ordinary citizens. An Interstate
commerce commission regulation pro
vtdea for that.
It comes because the carriers are
forced to added expense In tha
handling of the presidential special.
They must be certain that every
thing is perfect that the train Is
not delayed, that all equipment Is
In order, In short, that everything
hat been done to assure the pres
ident a swift, comfortable and trouble-leas
ride.
New equipment Is trotted out. The
latest type engine gets a fresh coat
of paint. The engineer and fireman,
when notified that they are going
to take out the presidential special,
show up In new overalls, cap and
bandana.
The Job of moving the president
from one city to another la an
anxious one for the executives, too.
Daniel Willard, head of the Balti
more and Ohio, receives a rcpoit
every hour, night and day, on the
progress of the Roosevelt train while
on his system.
Source of Worry
None of the big bosses wants any
thing to happen. On more than one
occasion this correspondent has heard
railroad man heave a sigh of re
lief as the special was shunted to
the tracks of a competing lino after
finishing its run on his road.'
The high cost of handling a pres
idential special Is not only In equip
ment. Additional man power Is re
quired all along the route. Hours
ttefore the scheduled run, the full
maintenance crews are called out to
check and double-check on every
Inch of track over which the train
will pass. Moreover, they remain on
duty, rain or shine, night and day,
until the "all clear" signal Is given.
Switches are spiked down and
locked as a precaution against acci
dent. At each division point a com
plete wrecking crew, engine, tender,
crane car and others laden with
emergency supplies, Is on hand Just
in case.
Some Still Vae Pilot
Many railroads compel traffic ap
proaching on other tracks to come
to a standstill until the presidential
special has roared by.
The railroads are getting away
from the old Idea of sending a pilot
train ahead of the special. However,
the custom still prevails on all of
the systems throughout the south
and on some In the wost.
In spite of all the precautions,
there occasionally is a minor inci
dent that fosters lots of correspon
dence. Several years ao when Mr. Roose
lt was speeding southward to
Florida his special came to a grind
Ins stop, the emergency brakes j
squealing and the passengers getting
a shaking up.
Knnblt Units Trnlu
A Georgia rabbit, attempting to
beat the engine across the tracks,
misjudged distances and was struck.
Its body was rammed Into an air
intake pipe on the locomotive. Thts
caused the brakea to set.
Railroad men scratched their
hads. It was a half hour before
thy discovered the cause. Then the
rsoblt was removed and the train
proceeded.
Several months later the Roosevelt
nuxlftl was ready to pull out of
! Washington for Hydo Park. Police
men were on hand by the down. 80-.-irt
men were everywhere and so
were the railroad police. In spite of
this vigilance, however, a hobo
strolled across the tracks and hid
himself on the steps of the preat.
dent's own car after tho trap was
down.
He was not seen until the train
flashed through Laurel, Md, A tele
graph message was sent to Bnltimoro
and the police wore waiting for the
non-paying guest when the train
pulled In for an operating stop.
Taken to the police station house,
the tramp was freed when he ex
plained he didn't know he was steal
ing a ride with the president.

SALES COUNSELOR
TALKS TO ROTARY
"The customer la definitely the
boss," Samuel F. Worswlck, sales
counselor, told the members of the
Medford Rotary Club yesterday while
presenting an Interesting address on
salesmanship. Local Rotarlans. at
their weekly luncheon meeting at the
Hotel Medford, heard tho well known
lecturer discuss the Importance or
salesmanship in' every walk of Ufa
and the need for the proper mental
attitude toward every Job for suc
cess. "You don't get the breaks, you
make them," Mr. Warswlck said.
"There Is plenty of room at the top,
the trouble Is, too many are waiting
for the elevator to take them up
and there la no elevator."
It was the depression that taught
people in various business enterprises
to sell, the speaker pointed out.
Conditions made it necessary to go
after new business and new, fertile
fields for the salesmen were discov
ered. In concluding his Interesting ad
dress, Warswlck stressed the. Import
ance of the proper contact with cus
tomers and the Importance of cur
tesy and hospitality to merchandis
ing success. Loyalty and an Inter
est in the Job were named by the
speaker as the essentials of success.
Leonard Carpenter, who recently
completed a tour through Europe.
will be the guest speaker at the Med
ford Rotary Club next Tuesday noon
when he will give interesting high
lights of his extensive tour.
TO
PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 31. (AP
There was a day when to the west
ern cattleman the only good sheep
man was a dead sheep man, and
vice versa, but the feeling has soft
ened somewhat.
Where once they settled their dis
agreements with shooting Irons and
rope, they take them to court now.
Yesterday in the polished sur
roundings of the U. S. circuit court
of appeals Harry Noh, southern
Idaho sheep man, verbally fought
out his feud with cattlemen. Noh
was charged with violating the Idaho
range law and countered with a
claim he acted within the confines
of the federal Taylor graelng act.
He got an Injunction in the Idaho
federal district court against the
state court procedure. The cattle
men appealed to the federal circuit
court.

before showing frayed edges.
3. City shirts are shorter lived
than country shirts.

OBEGOy. WEDNESDAY,
ROOSEVELT GUESS
WRONG ON PURGE;
SEES NO VICTORY
WASHINGTON, Sept. 31. (AP)
President Roosevelt was 100 per cent
wrong In his prediction on the out
come of primary voting In New
York's 16th congressional district, In
which Representative John J. O'Con
nor lost his fight for Democratic re-
nomination, but was nominated by
the Republicans,
Stephen Early, presidential secre
tary, said today the, president pre
dicted la&t night O'Connor would
win by 600 votes In the Democratic
race over James H. Fay and lose in
the Republican contest to Allen
Dulles.
The forecast was made orally about
9:30 p.m. EST, last night to Dr.
Ross Mclntlre, presidential physician
and Miss Margaret Lehand, the presi
dent's personal secretary.
Early said Mr. RooseVelt told him
today to remind reporters personali
ties were subordinated to the Issues
In his attempt to unseat Democratic
members of congress whom he con
sidered too conservative.
The president thought thete was
nothing to .crow about in the New
York result, Early added, and did not
regard It as a victory.
The president, still suffering from
a head cold, remained In his study
today.
BY INDIAN, ISSUE
PORTLAND, Sept. 3 1 - ( AP ) An
Indian's right to bring horses across
J;he border Into the United States
without paying duty on them is at
stake In a case being argued today
before the federal circuit court of
appeals.
Indians brought nine horses into
Idaho from Canada and sold them
at Bonner's Ferry. The government
seized them and the federal district
court at Boise ordered them forfeited
because no duty had been paid.
The purchaser appealed to the
higher court on the grounds that
the old John Day treaty gave the
Indians the right to bring horses
into the country duty free.

newspapers enable you to present a complete
sales story in your advertising.
Throngh this newspaper you can successfully
reach your present and prospective customers
with reason-why advertising. You can "tell
