With silent Influonco drnwlng mora and inoro
Into close brothorhood the tribes of mon.
Sho holds tho trail of Pain to his secret dan;

Spolla slowly out on mountain, rock, and shore

It Is swindling, It Is theft, It Is dishonesty In either case, only that the
public has made Itself bellovo that it is not wrong to slip the hand of
thlovory into tho pockot of a railway company and pick it.
IP THE ROAD "PICK" RACK A LITTLE DO THEY DO MORL
THAN THEY HAVE IIEEN TAUGHT TO DO I1Y THE PUIILIC?
Nevertheless, even thoso who nra ever on the alert to Bwlndlo tho
streot or steam road out of a fare, aro not slow to admit that but for
the daring of mon and capital In blazing Ihe way for men Into almost
unknown regions for homo seokers and business enterprises to peno
trato and build towns and cltlos nnd plant the acres of tho torrltory
round about, moro than one-hnlf of the United States would still bo a
wilderness.
LET US RE REASONARLE.
Tho cold facts of history show In glaring light that whan n great ca
lamity comos swooping down upon a community the railways aro tho first
to rush to tho relief of tho stricken.
Nor doos tho rnllway ask if tho disaster came by storm, by flro or by
earthquake, or by wajor.
ITS WHEELS ROLL EAST TO CARRY RELIEF.
Whon San Francisco nwoko on tho 18th day of April last to find her
self a pllo of ruins, tho Southorn Pacific and tho Santa Fo railways) were
tho first to extend a holplng hand. "
Tho greatest stress was lmmedlato provisions for tho homeless, and
thoso two "brutal monopolies" opened all their cars to tho stricken peo
ple to go to tho Interior of tho state, or over tbhc eastern states with
out foo or reward for tho transportation.
And whllo tho outbound tralnB woro laden with fleeing humanity, tho
inbound trains camo rushing to tho rollof of tho hungry laden with
food, nnd all this vast Borvico wholly AND ENTIRELY WITHOUT EX
PENSE OF THE RAILWAYS.
It was tho railways that solved tho problem of how to handle tho sit
uation ahd provido ways nnd means to glvo tho victims of tho disaster
the quickest posslhlo rollof.
And tho solution was In carrying the homeless to tho open arm of
outlying communities and fetching food nnd clothing to those who ro
mnlnod.
Put wjint tho railways did to aid San Francisco Into dollars and cents
and It will bo found that tholr contributions nggrogato moro than thoso
of oven tho nntlonal government or tho whole stuto of California.
