come of that nation where poverty
breaks the crowns of the queens Or
the home; despair hurls a mothers
love from its throne ana hunger drives
innocent children from the schoolrooTA

The census bureau shows that 1867,
900 of these women are forty-fivc
years of age and over. There is nc
more pitiful sight in civilization than
these sanity mothers of Israel stopped
with age, drudging in the field from
sun until sun and at night drenching
their dingy pillows with the tears of
despair as their aching hearts take
it all to God in prayer. Civilization
strikes them a blow when it should

Shall we permit our faithful wives,
whom we covenanted with God to cher

mothers dear to be driven from the old
arm chair to the cotton patch?
In rescuing our citizens from the

to our fair Dixieland the rule of the

There must be a readjustment OF
the wage scale of industry so that the
women can be taken from the field or

RAILROADS appeal
TO PRESIDENT
The Common Carriers Ask for Re-
lief - President Wilson Directs
Attention of Public to

NhbCHNiSH VI GhiAS ~
Their Needs.
The committee of railroad eXecu-
tives, headed by Mr.. Frank Trumbull,
representing thirty-five of the leading
railroad systems of the nation, recent,
ly presented to President Wilson a
memorandum briefly reviewing ne diff
ficulties now confronting the railroads.
of the country and asking for the Co
operation Of the governmental au'hOri-
ties and the public in supporting rail-
road credits and recognizing an emer-
gency which requires that the rail-
roads be given additional revenues.
The memorandum recites that the
European war has resulted in general
depression of business on the Am,ri-
can continent ard in the dislocation
of credits at home and abroad Wijh
revenues decreasing and interest rates
increasing the transportation systems
of the country face most serious
crisis and the memorandum is a
strong presentation of the candle
burning at both ends and the perils
that must ultimately attend such
confagration when the flames meet
is apparent to all. In their general
discussion the railroad representa-
tives say in part; by reason of leg
islation and regulation by the federal
government and the forty-eight states
acting independently of each other. as
well as through the action of strong
public opinion, railroad expenses in
recent years have vastly increased.
No criticism is here made of the gen.
eral theory Of governmental regula-
tion, but on the other hand no in
genuity can relieve the carriers of ex-
penses created thereby"
President Wilson, in transmitting
the memorandum of the railroad
presidents to the public, character
ICES it as "a lucid statement OF plain
truth" The president recognizing
the emergency as extraordinary, con-
tinuing, said in part
You ask me to call the attention
of the country to the imperative need
that railway credits be sustained and
the railroads helped in every possible
effort or by the action, wherever
feasible of governmental agencies, and
/ am glad to do so because / think
the need very real"
The conference was certainly a
fortunate one for the nation and the
president is to be congratulated for
opening the gate to a new world of
effort in which everyone may cooper
ate.
There are many important prob
lens in our complex civilization that
will yield TO cooperation which will
not lend themselves TO arbitrary rul.
ings of commissions and financing
railroads is one Of them. The man
with the money Is a factor that can.
not be eliminated from any business
transaction and the public is an inter.
ested party that should always be con
suited and happily the president has
invited all To participate in the soiu-
ton OF our railroad problems.

CARTHAGE, ILL.,. Nov. 2O.-Keokuk
high trimmed Carthage for second
time this season here yesterday by
the score Of 10 to s, In q game In
which the Purple and White was the
greater part OF the time on the Of
fensive.
Carthage showed strength In the
first few minutes OF play when her
FIRST touchdown was secured and dur
ing the last i've minutes when she
came near putting over another
score. The rest of the time Keokuk
was forcing the play. Willard Rob-
erts was responsible for the two Keo-
kuk touchdowns and Wygle for a neld
goal and drop kick.
Wgyle's drop was really the feature
OF the game. It was made in the
third quarter from the thirty-hve yard
line at very difficult angle. It is
the first drop kick that player on
the Keokuk team has made in several
years and the longest on record.
Keokuk tried a number OF forward
passes and made good gains on most
OF them. w. Roberts played his best
game of the season. He made gain
after gain on terrific line plunges and
scored Keokuk's two touchdowns. He
had the Carthage team buffaloed to
such an extent that three Carthage
players tried to lay him out, with the
result that two OF them were chased
out Of the game by Referee Baird.
Played Rough Game.
One was seen to strike him in the
face with his fist after two other men
had thrown him to the ground. He
was Immediately put out. Another
Carthage player tried to use his foot
and was put out also. The Carthage
team played rough game and Keo-
kuk received no easy treatment at
It's hands.
LeFaivre starred in the way he
broke up plays and tackled, and
Wygle and Hancock played their
usual good games. 1t was during
Hancock's absence from the game
that Carthage scored the first time.
The fast little quarterback was late
in reaching Carthage and It Is be-
lieved that had he been In from the
start that Carthage would not have
made her touchdown.
