In closing the Times says: “There is no law on the statute books which is so onerus upon the people; none so in- | effectually enforced, and none which the people have so httle respect for, “Cut it out” and allow the the settlers in the mew and unsettled towns to have the benefit, The poli- ticlatis have controlled it too long.” —" A MERCIFUL man is merciful to his beast. We liketo see our farmers when they drive into town on a cold stormy day, put their team in a barn or cover them with blankets, In the heat of summer they can always find shade in which to leave the noble animals that brought them safely to town. There are many, however, who on cold days will rush for a stove themselves and leave their horses in the storm while, in the heat of sum- mer they seek the shade and leave their horsesin the sun, There is something wrong abont the man who thus abuses histeam. He may bea nice man, may belong to the church, may not swear, smoke nor have any bad habits, but we would not want to be his horse, No, sir. ee Excuses Do Not Excuse. Railroads do not listen to excuses from employes who fail to effect re- sults. Nor for that matter are other corporations any more lenient. When a responsibility is placed on the shoulders of a railway official he is expected to carry it. When orders are sent him he is expected to fulfill them. When duties are exacted from himShe is required to meet them. When he is shown what he is to do he knows that he must master the situation whatever it may be. Railroads have no place on their payrolls for failures, and they have no patience with men who in place of accomplishment brings “ifs,’’ ‘‘buts” and “whys.” No matter how good the excuse, men who fall go with in- efficient [machinery onto the dump heap. There 1s public being any more lenient with railroads than they are with their no good reason for the employes. .They doubtless can give a hundred reasons why they have let the people of North Dakota freeze or CPSLELSBSSSBSBSVSS burn their fences and sheds; why grain has rotted for want of trans- portation or been sold at far less than its market value to others who could stand at stations and watch for em- pty cars or haa the ‘pull’ to get them. The world has no more time to listen to ‘‘whys” than has a railroad. Nor has it the means of telling when the excuses. offered are true and visers should be game wardens and | when false, though experience will jugtify ‘the latter classification for most of them. ~~ All the public knows and all that it needs to know is the results of freezing people aud wasted crops; of men whose toil has gone for naught phrough what cao only be charged ‘to the culpable negligence of the rails roads, Itis not known if the farm- ers were intentionally robbed through collusion with the elevator compan- les or not, nor does it need to know. It knows results which are unques- tioned, and it knows that no subore| , dinates are responsible, or they would have been dismissed. lt all stands charged against the general policy and management of || the roads, and if the law can be made to reach such cases it shonld be en- acted and enforced. The roads have responsibility to the men who settle in their territory and make it pos- sible for dividends on an oyercapitalization, They have not fulfilled this responsi- for it. They talk about being hampered by laws and outside interference with their business, but it is evident that what is needed is more rather than less of this. What is needed is acon- trol that will force such a prepara- |tion for handling increased traffic which is known months in advance as will meet the requirements and in- sure the farmer the benefit of the crops he has won from the soi] in aj year of bounty following years of| partial failture.—Duluth News Tri- bune.
