As time passes, ideas change, and
emphasis. At one period a certain
quality of mind and purpose will
fjniiw to be ths most esential thing.
AwH as years pass, it wil seem as
if a somewhat different point of
view was called for. The old idea
was good as far as it went, and may
still be needed to a large extent, but
it mnnin as if something else needed
greater emphasis.
Years ago in running a newspaper,
tbe publisher or editor was very
much inclined to pride himself on his
fearlessness. It seemed t o him that
bw first qualification was a dispo-
sition to fight someone or something,
and that he must expect to be at
war with this or that wrong develop-
ment most of the time.
it was a useless point of view to a
largo extent, and as a result of such
many evils were ex-
and righted. But frequently a
man would develop a'
spirit that lsd him to J
be knocking something all the time. (
Today while the newspaper hai
constant need of fearlessness, the
of helpfullness and opti-
are quite as much called for.
ew editor ought to be a worker
far the business, educational, intel-
lectual, moral, and religious advance
oí Us borne community. He should
wot aeerely report the news of these
but should take this suc-
eesa very much to heart, and be
constantly thinking how he can pre-
eent thoughts snd facts helpful to
such forms of progress.
The old time editor frequently
held himself aloof from community
movements, and was quLe apt to
have a scoffing Sttitude. The new ed-
itor is a part of all these mevements
heart and soul with his home town
and its progress.

Santa Fe
Improvement Program
for 1928
^^9
Railways serving a growing country arc never finished.
They must add yearly to the number of cars and locomotives
in order to care for increasing traffic They must build exten-
sions and provide second and third tracks. They must provide
larger terminal yards and longer and more sidings. They must
provide heavier bridges and larger and more commodious
stations, roundhouses and shops.
This expansion in facilities requires additional cash invest-
ment in the railroads of this country, amounting to over half a
billion dollars annually.
The Santa Fe proposes to spend 45 million dollars on its
program for enlargement of such facilities during 192.8.
Orders have already been placed for 3,850 new freight cats,
75 all-steel passenger train cars, and 771 miles of new steel rail,
of which 490 miles will be 00 lbs. to the yard and the balance
90 lbs. When this steel is laid the Santa Fe will have 1,181
miles of no lb. rail all laid since January 1, 1915. Orders have
been placed for steel for bridges, tics have been purchased, and
work 00 more second track and other improvements is in
progress.
The Santa Fe puts this large additional investment of new
money into its property to increase its capacity, to render service,
to promote safety, and to take care of the growing needs of the
country it serves,
