RAILROAD CHANCES
The outlook for the railroads
of the United States is better
la some respects than It appears to
be at a superficial glance. There
are possibilities lu the way of in
creasing car service, for example,
which may play an important part
In railroad ecouomlcs.
Little by little, It may be taken
for granted, the railways will fiud
means <»f getting more mileage for
their cars, by the day and by the
year. Nob* the average day's
movement of a freight c«r, includ
ing empty return journeys, is only
about twsnty-three miles. That
seems much lower than it need l»e.
It means a great deal of standing
still, in yards and on sidings.
And there is room f°r better re
sults In loading cars, some kinds
of heavy traffic are carried on with
full loads, as a rule, but many
other lines are entirely different
in that respect. Except in such
traffic as the irou ore, coal and
grain trade of districts where in
dustries and commerce are high
ly developed, tho average loud of a
freight car is not more than half
of its capacity.
There is opportunity for groat
improvements, also, in the handling
of much merchandise in freight do
pots. If machinery can be substi
tuted for even 10 per cent of the
hand labor used the saving will be
important.
But these changes cannot con:.'
at once. They demand time and
they must depend upon the slow
processes of evolution in business
The big and urgent question of
railroad rates which is now l>e
for the national government's ex
perts cannot be put aside, however
it may be decided, to wait for im
portant changes in daily car mile
age, in average car loads, or in j
freight handling devices and J
methods.—Cleveland Leader.
VILLA TO BE ITT DOWN
It is increasingly plain that |
Francisco (Pancho) Villa will
not be the head of the new ' gov
ernment of Mexico if the so-calle!
constitutionalists win complete
success against Huerta. It is clear I
that he has too many jealous rivals
and foes among the officers in the !
insurgent armies.
This was inevitable from the |
first. Meu of education and dfcceut
records could not be expected to
accept as their chief a bandit of
many years' experience in outlawry.
Tliey could not be counted on to
take orders meekly front a man
i who can scarcely write his name
or meet on equal tonus any repre
sentative of a foreign power.
Villa was always impossible as
a coming president of Mexico but
there was a chance that he might
be the power behind the throne.
Kven that, it appears, is to be de
nied him by the jealousy and
rivalry ot other officers of the con
stitutionalist army.
It remains to be seen whether
he will permanently accept this
subord; ;;'.tion of his own claims to
• hose of men who have done less
fighting for the revolutionary cause
and won fewer victories. He may
yield for a time but only to pre
pare for a formidable revolt against
those who are determined to keep
him in the background, in the
event of final and complete consti
tutionalist victory.
If ItJ takes this course he will
not li.efc plenty of precedents iu the
history of his country. Nor will
lie want for followers if half that
h.'ise been told of his hold upon his
troops is true.
