That advertisement was . sblen-

with their centennial thrift cam

sentences:

The yacht was left in charge of

arrived from Sydney, Mcdonald had a
heart to heart talk with Lent.

Theatrical managers of small and

pearly gates.
He Is making another fortune out Of
en- opera written and composed by two
men the theatrical fraternity never
heard of-college men named Carteret

"A couple or rah-rahs; can you beat

Another thing the fraternity cannot
understand is how and where SAP. B.
Holman discovered the glorious Elise
Elverson, who took Broadway >by
storm at the opening performance OF
the new production.
Sam B. Holman slipped into Mar

this fact.

out taking his eyes off the stage where
his charming young wife was at the
moment taking a fourth encore.

In the mean time the detective had
retired to the kitchen. He returned

he said; "but I've read of these five

tinued to shake his head in dazed

The two walked apart.

The bootlegger laughs at officers OF
the law and those who would Danish
the whole hellish lniquity.- He knows
he Is safe from prosecution because
his customers are liars and would
violate their sacred oaths on the wit
ness stand to protect BIN.
Jack Coffey is hero. He recog-
nizes his weakness and is not asham-
ed to say that he desires ia, have
temptation kept from him. There is
no disgrace corrected with such an
announcement. The only Disgrace
that can come to man under such
affliction is 10 become perjurer and
a liar to protect the being who would
murder him through booze. The boot
logger is not IN the business just to
money he can get.
who has acquired the habi, of drink
ing is to announce to the world that
the appetite has the best Of him. 1t
takes real hero to make such an
announcement. He must first assert
himself and tell the world that he will
not become liar and a perjurer.
When he has reached the point where
he can do this he has victory in
sight.
Why should this man be any more
timid about telling his friends that
booze has the lest of him any more
than to announce that he has the
rheumatism, hardening of the arteries
or stomache ache. Everybody else
knows what is the matter with him
A man who is soaked about 30 full
all the time deceives only himself
when he thinks he can keep the in
formation away from the public for
the sake of his family. The family
would not suffer from such announce
ment, because they are real sufferers
anyway. The family knows that
everybody else knows what is the
matter, why they have to go unpro-
vided for, and they would be benefited
by such an announcement.
Jack sCoffey comes out boldly and
admits that he is unable to resist
temptation because the murderous
bootleggers will not permit him to
fight his battle sufficient time to
overcome the disease.
The good people of Mason City
should get behind Jack Coffey and
help him win his fight against the
whole nefarious gang. 1t Is more i'm
portant that Jack Coffey be kept away
from such influences than that he fur
nish states evidence and prosecute
the gang which would have murdered
him through booze.
When men take the course Jack
Coffey has taken, 1t will bring about
a different condition in local affairs.
He may fall in his efforts, but he is
entitled to the best influences Of the
city which can be given.

|judiciously- laid out, the saving in operating
expenses for the fiscal year ended June 81,
1919, would reduce the operating ratio to 68.3
per cent. and in 1921 to 81 per cent The Rail
way Age Gazette takes issue with Mr.. Kendrlck
and says it is difficult to see how the results
he predicts could be secured by the compare
lively small expenditure he suggests. 1t would
seem to be nearer the mark to say that the Rock
Island needs an expenditure Of new capital
three times as great as the amount he men
tons. His estimate for grade revision, new
lines sidings, second track and yards and ter
minals is only $8,2OO,000. This is very small
sum compared with those which have been
spent by competing roads in the same territory
for similar improvements.
What the Rock Island needs is the adoption
of drastic policy by which either the present
stockholders will be obliged to supply large
amount of capital or turn the road over to
stockholders who will. The question is not one
which concerns merely the factions involved.
It is also one which concerns the public. The
policy adopted should be energetic and broad
enough to make sure that the Rock Island Will
be put in position where it will become able
to render the best practicable service to the
public, at the least practicable cost. The ques-
ton as to who is responsible for it's present
situation is now one Of relatively small import
ance. The great question is as to whether it is
going to be put in position where it can be
operated economically and well in the future.
