'‘The Sage oS Emporia”
Lif America's Railroads
American railroads. They were ready
for it. When the warning came in ’39
after we repealed the embargo clause
of the Neutrality Law, the railroads
knew what was coming. They are now
equipped with cars and with rails.
Their roundhouses are full but not
clogged.They keep the wheels moving.
’’The American capacity for organ-
ization under crisis never was exem-
plified so splendidly as the American
railroads have proved their worth and
excellence. It is a great job well done.
It is a sort of thing that Americans do
better than anything else. Our hard
common sense, our indomitable pur-
pose to achieve, all these are back of
our effort. The railroads have done
their work without friction with either
labor or capital. They have responded
to a great emergency with splendid
intelligence.
*’And are they doing their job? You’re
just right tootin’ they are!”
"You ask me whether I think the
American railroads are doing their
jobs in this grave crisis. Well, I would
say, you’re right tootin’, they are and
tootin’ is the word! ,,
"I live six city blocks north of the
Santa Fe main lines. All trains between
Chicago and Galveston, between Chi-
cago and Los Angeles and San Diego
east or west, go right by my door and
you should hear them toot. Try to sleep
with your south windows open on a
summer night and you will certainly
hear them toot . ■ .
"It’s acontinuous procession of swift
passenger trains laden with soldiers
and long grumbling, rumbling freight
trains often with two engines and all
night they sound like some cosmic
rooster crowing to spell the dawn of
the day of doom for America’s enemies.

States is doing such a swell job as the
Those boys ‘Over There’ have a grim deter-
mination, to win, . . . They will win. . . .
Their very lives may depend on you, and you
and you as Americans.....To help them win
this Great Battle for Freedom .... Your back
yard may have some scraps of iron, and other
“Junk” that may hel pthem to Give Hitler
and His Gang their just deserts......Now
is the time to bring in that old junk, sell it,
and Buy Bonds with the money.....You
know its a safe bet.
