RAILWAY ROBBERY

SIR,—I read with increasing alarm each day about the innumerable thefts from railways. I console myself, however, with the thought that the Radicals of a century ago were perhaps right after all when they so solemnly promised that an increase in rail- way traffic would assure a better distribution of public wealth.—Yours faithfully,
