at San Quentin | asked.
"Oh, no." said Emerson in his cheerful way.
That's what interested me in the case. They had
absolutely no relation to the murder AS a mat
ter of fact, the boy was in exactly the position
of the knife you saw in the courtroom. He was
the agent OF certain forces in society. Those
forces made him commit the murder exactly as
those hateful forces in that woman's mind made
her kill the other woman. Pressure was brought
to bear on the boy, terrible pressure. He saw
that in order to gain advantages that were dear
to him, in order that he might escape from the
poverty that was crushing him and torturing him,
he must kill another man. In his heart he had
no bitterness against the other man. 1t was
simply that the other in his way"

From the tone in which Emerson spoke

Emerson smiled good -hunoredly. 81 don't
justify him any more than justify the pistol

Emerson stirred in his seat betraying Just
the slightest impaticnce "Words are such mis-
leading servants OF thought aren't they When
speak of nanimate thing we speak of
thing that has no life. When we speak of an
animate thing speak OF thing that is ami
mated with life in every part. We refer to
man animate thing with a live body and
live mind. Many OF us would go so far as
to imply that there life in the mysterious
clement we call the soul But VIC know that
there can be life in the body without real life
in the mind in the soul. That boy in San
Quentin has life in the body. But he has no
real life in the mind the soul, nothing that
deserves to be called life. He has not walked
up. He lives there in prison, bewildercd crea-
ture, wondering why the stone walls have closed
around him. He is conscious that he has broken
law, but he is not conscious OF the real meaning
OF what he has done. He is an agent of crime; he
is the result of unwholesome conditions that might
in themselves be justly called crime We punish
him and let the real offender GO

STATE RAILROAD
CONTROL ESSENTIAL
Is Vital Factor In Preparedness,
Says Germani Minister Of
Railroads.
By CARL w. AcKERMAN.

BERLIN. (via Amstermad), Dec. 15.T
Government ownership of railroads is
a vital step In the military prenared-
ness program of any nation. including
the United States. Minister Of Railroads
Won Breitenbach, who directs the
largest part of Germany's gigantic net
work of railways, asserts.
Without mis1udging the efficiency of
well administered privately-owned
lines" said Won Breitenbach. referring
TO railway, organization in the United
States. "the efficiency of government
ines is greater.
New Lines Acquired.
"It is inconceivable that private
owners should enlarge their stocks OF
locomotives ana cars 80 as 70 be able
10 meet any requirements Of congestion.
state railways, on the other hand. try
TO prepare for such traffic. This makes
their position strong and enables them
TO realize the demands both Of war and
peace traffic"
new lines acquired and built in con-
quered territory now form at least q
per cent Of the whole GeDman railway
system. And II was his handling of this
great iron web, stretching into Russial
France, and Belgium that led some crit
has won more battles and campaigns in
this war than-any other general"
THE fact that we have government
ownership Is due to Bismarck" said Won
Breitenbach. "lfe conceived that idea
not AS q preparation for war, but to
promote our economic life. to bring our
traffic policies In accord with our eco
nomic policies. Thirty-hve years ago
the idea met with great opposition. To
day II has not an opponent in the
reichstag."
Mileage Changes.
The mileage of Germany's railways
change daily as new lines are built into
conquered tsrritory. That means new
details to be looked after.
During mobilization. the whole peace
time tables are useless" he said. "rhe
military time table is effective then; the
traffic managers are intrusted various
duties under my control
Quite naturally the difficulties OF
management are especially serious dur
ing the heavy spring and autumn
traffic. Then. too. all these difficulties
must be overcome with greater exact
ness in times OF war than in times oi
peace. especially when military orders
calling for the transportation of large
bodies Of troops are suddenly RtveT
out !"
There has been no slackening in rail
way development because of the war
the minister said. Capital now invested
in railroads now aggregates $3.10O, 000. 900
Our freight traffic, today is between
80 and 100 per cent of what 1t is in peace

THE Value OF truth

Truthin business is just simportant
as truth in everyday life; truth creates
confidence, establishes goodwill and
builds a reliability that will not be
wrecked by the storms Of competition.
Through three generations people
have learned to place reliance on the
advertised words of SCOTS Emulsion,
because they are untarnished, unex-
aggerated truisms about a household
remedy of real and actual worth.
The popularity of SCOTS Emulsion
is increasing as intelligence advances,
because in these days of authorizations
it continues to guarantee pure cod liver oil
incidentally perfected with glycerine and
hypophosphitcs to build strength, I'M
prove the blood and strengthen the lungs.
1t is free from harmful drugs-a whole
some food-tonic, truthfully advertised.
