snow representative body OF Fremont
business men turned out tonight at tho
commercial club to hear William Hirth
I talk business 10 business mon. Il n Chr.
ney, vice president of the First National
bank. presided. Mr.. Hirth said:
The railroad question Is no longer n
problem which conccrns1nerely those who
own railroad securities and those who
are directly or indirectly dependent upon
them for their daily bread. ON tho con
trary, It IS problem today which Of
tects the entire public I'm an itense and
vital way
Aside from the Importance Of efficient
railway service for our agricultural and
commercial interests Is the fact that hun
dreds of millions OF dollars of tho assets
of our old line life and fire insurance
companies hundreds of savings banks
and trust companies, etc, are invested
in railroad bonds and the moment that
the value of those bonds is brought into
question it means that you have condi-
ton OF affairs which menaces the we'll
being of millions Of policy holders and
bank depositors. The sooner the peoplc
realize. therefre. that they must look this
! issue squarely in the face and deal with
1t In a broad,minded manner tho better.
When the people delegated 70 them
selves the right to lower rates. they at
the same time assumed the profound oh
| LEGATION to raise them whenever the finau-
cial condition Of the carriers requires It.
To say that the railroads should shift for
themselves as private enterprises do is a
theory which won't bear the scrutiny of
sound reason. The private enterprise can
shift its sails to suit the passing breeze.
1t can shut down, cut its expense In half
or raise the price of its commodities. II
Is subject only to the laws OF competition
] and supply and demand. The railroads.
on the other hand, are tied hand and foot.
They cannot shut down, nor can they
charge one penny more than the law says,
regardless uf-the cost Of operation"

CuItjvatinu Safe Habits.

There is much in mental habits in relation to industrial safety. Accord ing to Safety, publication of the New York Central railroad, "self-control is one of the big things in life. Many times railroad men are injured through taking unnecessary chances that are the results of sudden inn pulses. It is common, for instance, for trainman switching cars, upon observing coupler not properly lined up just as cars are about to come to- gether, to impulsively step in and shove the coupler over without first stopping the cars. Often these things, at first done impulsively, are tried again and again, until an unsafe habit Is formed. The necessity of cultivat- ing coolheadedness and self-control, as a safety factor, is indisputable.

This time they took a Home in New York and went after Grand Opera as if they knew what it was about.
 The Son of an Earl consented to Buttle for them. He refused them Butter with their Meals and kept them trembling most of the time. but they determined to do things Right, even if both died of Nervous Prostration.
 When they began making real Head way and were recognized in the Park by some of the Headliners, Claudine would chide Elam for his early Doubts and Fears.
 This has got the Middle West skinned forty ways from the Jack, she would exclaim gayly, as they motored up the Avenue Me for the White Lights! It's good thing you had Pacemaker or you would now be wear ing Detachable Cuffs and putting Sugar on your Lettuce"
 Two years had elapsed since the es- cape from being Buried Alive They were to all outward appearances, City broke.
 One day Claudine allowed that she was tired of Bridge and the gay Rou- tine. She announced that she was slipping away to Virginia Hot Springs to cool out and rest
 Elam said that while she was lying up, he would inspect certain Mining Properties in Canada.
 He drove Honey to the train; then hr |, ,,lr %<~ s-y chucked few Props into Suit Case, and headed for the Grand Central | He never stopped going until he ducked in the Back Way, through the Grape Arbor past the Woodshed, into the Kitchen of the old Homestead in which he first saw the Light of Day.

Next day, thousands of warm-heart- led New Workers were packed along the Water Front all the Way from the Battery to Grants Tomb, giving royal Welcome to the Corn-fed Pilgrims. At any rate, they were Packed.
 When Elam and Claudine entered the Hotel, the discerning Bell-Hops had them stand back until the others had registered
 They were Important, but they did not carry any Signs. Elam should have worn the Letter of Credit on the outside.
 After they had taken the Imperial Suite and invited all the Servants on the Twelfth Floor to Silver Shower they found that the Call-Bells worked fine. If Elam moved in the general direction of Button, handsome West Pointer would fit in with a pitcher of Iced Water and then hover around for his Bit.
 Both realized that the first requisite was a lot of new money. Even when they rapped sharply with Spoon and ordered Garcon to hurry up the Little Birds with a Flagon of St. Regis Bubbles to come along as Drench, they realized that they did not look the Parts

 ClaudinA yielded herself up to a Modiste. The good Woman from out of Town was trifie Long in the Tooth at this stage of our Narrative, but Mme. Bunk convinced her that she was about half way between the Trundle Bed and her First Party.
 She ordered all the chic Novelties recommended for Flappers, so that Elam began to walk about ten feet behind her. wondering vaguely if his l Family was still respectable.
 The new Harness and careless habit of counting Money in Public soon gave them an enviable Reputa- tion in the Principal Cafes, although l they could not observe that they were moving any nearer to the Newport 1 Colony.
 The shift from Pigs Knuckles to | Ambrosia and Nectar had been little sudden for Elam, and sometimes, when they were darting hither and thither from Road-House to Play House and thence to the Louis XIV Sitting-Room by way of the Tango Joint, he would moan little and act like Qnitter.

Elam was the Main Whizzer in a huddle of Queen Annes, bounded on the North by gleaming Cemetery, on the East by limping Subdivision. on the South by a deserted Creamery, and on the West by an expanse of Stubble.
 Claudine was the other two-thirds of the Speciality.
 She was snappy little Trick, and it was dull hour of the Day or Night when she couldn't frame up a new General Order for the Breadwinner.
 The Marriage came off during the third summer of her twenty y-seventh year.
 She accepted Elam about a week before he proposed to her, thus sim plifying the Ordeal
 While the Wafer on the License was still warm, she put on her spangled Suit, moved to the center of the Ring, and cracked the Whip.
 After that Elam continued to be a Hellion around the Office, but in his private Quarters he was merely Otto, the Trained Seal.
 Claudine could make him bark, play the Cymbals, or go back to the Blue Bench.
 There is one Elam in every Settle ment.
 All the wise Paper-Hangers and the fly Guitar Players had him marked up as Noodle, but somehow, every time the winning Numbers were hung out, he would be found in Line, waiting to cash.
 He was not Bright enough to do any thing except garner the Gold Certif- cates.
 Elam had no Ear for Music, and, coming out of the Opera House, never could remember the name of the Play or which one of the Burglars was the real Hero.
 His Reading was confined to the Headlines of conservative Paper which was still printing War News. Baseball had not come into his Life whatsoever.
 A cultured Steno, who knew about George Meredith and Arnold Bennett, had to do his Spelling for him at 14 Bucks per.

 Gravy came under the head of Regu- lar Food.
 She could turn out Waffies as long as there was a Customer in sight. The Biscuits on which she specialized were light as Down.
 The things she fixed to Eat were Fine and Dandy, but she never had heard of Cuisine. When you took her away from regular Chow and made her tackle something Casserole or En Tasse, she blew.
 Also there was Maid who should have belonged to the Stevedores' Union.
 She could pack victuals in from the Buttery and slam them down on the Table, la Commercial Hotel, but when it came to building up an intricate Design with an ingrowing Napkin, three Spoons, four Knives, five Forks, and all the long-stemmed Glasses, to say nothing of an artful pyramiding of Cut Flowers around the Candelabra, then she was simply fe- male Blacksmith.
 Claudine would throw a Dinner once in a while, just to subdue the Wife and Daughter of the National Bank, but the Crew would nearly al- ways crab the Entertainment. With the Support accorded by the bone-headed Staff, she had a fat Chance to give correct Imitation of Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish.
 All during the nine Courses she had to yelp more Orders than the Fore man of Street Gang. A Megaphone would have helped some.
 The Hostess who wishes to look and carry on like a Duchess, certainly finds it vexing when pop-eyed Lizzie leans against all of the principal Guests in turn and then endeavors to shoot the Episcopalian Rector in the Neck with gush of real Champagne. After one of these fliv Affairs, at which the Rummies had halled ur the whole Menu, Claudine came to the front with an Ultimatum. She said she was going to can the awful Birth place and spend the remainder of her Natural among the real Dowdy-Dows
