Col. Ashley, adjuster for the
only fire insurance compny now
doing business in Pageland, was
here Friday and Saturday adjust
ing certain losses and looking
over risks which his company
had here. The opinion had
been expressed that this compa
nv would withdraw also but he
stated that this action would not
be taken at this time, but ex-
pressed the opinion that some
of the property valuations
should be lowered, and that pol
icies on all buildings with brick
on edge flues would be cancel
ed unless the flnes are rebuilt at
once.

THE MORNING TRAIN

Two or three years ago when
there was popular demand for a
train leaving Pageland at E or 7
o'clock in the morning this paper
was active in securing the rail
road commissions cooperation
in the requests for this change of
schedule on the G. & L. road.
The persistence of the demands
caused the train to be run for a
while. Later the railroad show
ed to the commissioners that the
train was being operated at a
loss, and a contract was signed
that a morning train should be
run from Pageland to Cheraw
each day the county court should
be in session and On the first
Monday of each month.
Conditions have changed.
During the time that has elapsed
hundreds of automobiles have
been purchased, and the people
do not ride ON the train. The
tare for auto rides-,has heep
brought down to about the PficS
of a ticket. During the two
weeks of court in April the pas
senger business done by this
train amounted to about twenty
dollars a week. The passenger
business done by this train has
not paid expenses but once or
twice since it was put on.
Much improvement has been
made in the roadbed during the
past fifteen months. 1t is esti
mated that more than eighteen
thousand dollars has been spent
on the roadbed alone during this
time. The Ruby section which
was in very poor condition has
been put in fine shape. The
road from Pageland to Croburk
was in such bad shape that
about three hours were required
to run the train these eight miles,
and then it would gel on the
ground almost every time the
trip was undertaken. The trip
is now made when necessary in
about an hour without any
jumping the track. The freight
train used TO stay off the track
about half the time during the
fertilizer season. During the
season just closing it has been
off the the track but once. we
belive, and that time because a
switch split.
The management has shown a
willingness 10 accommodate the
people during these fifteen
months, and the peoples inter
ests have been given consider
alton.
In view of the above facts, we
are in favor Of releasing the rail
road from the agreement to run
the train coult weeks and first
Mondays. The people have not
given the road the passenger
business implied in the contract,
The road should be released.

think and talk from the stand
point of America, not with an
idea to the welfare of either
European belligerent.
One of the worst features of
American journalism at this
time is that some papers show
intense bias for one side or the
other in the war. There are
papers and magazines that
show extreme bitterness
against Germany. On the
other hand certain papers
glOat over German victories
and cast slurs upon the allies
at every opportunity.
We need to steer with an
even hand in this country. The
war is not our war. In our
preparedness campaign we do
not know against whom we
may be preparing. We have
some issues to settle with each
side and it is too early yet to
say who may be our future
friend and who our foe.

WAGNER AND FRENCH
PATRIOTISM

~ ARIS is seriously debating
~ the question whether or
Z not to play Wagner af-
ter the war" Rodin says no,
though he would allow Beet
hoyen; Saint-Saens says no, as
does Director Gheusi Of the
Opera Comique. Others more
tolerant, like Flammarion, see
no reason why Wagner's music
should not be played like that
of Beethoven or Mozart,
though he has "seen many peO-
pie fall asleep over it. i"
Where art comes in conflict
with patriotism it is inevitable
that it should yield. The 'pO-
litical reasons" that moved
Parisians to howl down the ella
borate representation of
"Thannhauser" at the Grand
Opera in 1861, years before the
Franco-Prussian war, are now
intensified tent o Id. And
whether or not France first
annihilates Germany as An
Dire Messenger says, as a preG-
minary to any possible produc-
ton Of Wagnerian opera, it is
as certain as any forecast can
be that to attempt to play Wag-
ner for years after the war will
be direct incentive to riOting
and public demonstrations. 1t
is conceivable that it would
provoke a crisis and cause the
fall Of a ministry.

WHY TAKE CHANCES? =?

~ HE East Oregonian has
VI not published very ex
aggerated" accounts re-
garding the water in the mil
race and the situation at the
headgate. The report in thi;
paper was based on personal
statements from members OF
the city council who had visit
ed the scene and gave first
hand information as to what
they saw. Yesterday the facts
were further verified.
There is danger for the city
when the water at the head
gate and at the head of the le-
wee is within two or three feet
of the top. The river is capri.
cious. A heavy rise in the river
or a jam that would divert a
greater volume of water tow
ard the headgate might bring
disaster. A break at that point
would flood the whole town eX-
cepting the hill sections and
do vast damage.
Knowing these facts the East
Oregonian has but done its
duty in giving publicity to the
subject. For protecting the in
terests Of people who would

.~HE general impression
" prevails that President
Wilson made his pre-.
paredness speeches in the
middle west because that sec
ton was regarded as less en-.
thusiastic on the subject than
the coast regions. In view OF
this belief it is interesting to
note comments from middle
west newspapers. In an edi-
torial the st. Louis POst-Dis-
patch said:
Mr. Wilson has already demonstrate
ed TWO highly imortant things in the
few days that have elapsed since he
left Washington one IS that the
Middle West is anything but indit'
ferent TO the issue or national defense
against foreign aggression. The 9th
er is that if the test comes and this
country is forced into war, We shall
have little occasion 10 doubt the 10y
atty of the great body or American
citizens OF foreign birth or blood
What was shown on a large scale in
Milwaukee was shown likewise at the
meeting in New York sunday OF Am
orleans of Hungarian descent, to
whom Senator James, In the course
of his address, read telegram from
the president expressing his conf
dence in the entire royalty and pa
triotism of the great BODY of our fel'
low citizens" Of alien birth.
National defense is a question thai
presented as Mr., Wilson is present
ing it, could hardly fail TO stir the
patriotic emotions or the American
people But he is Going more than
appeal for dreadnougnts and a great
er navy. He is bringing Americans
back to that unity or sentiment to-
ward the United states which pre-.
vailed before the passions aroused by
this war had torn a common citizen
ship asunder.
Then the speaking tour was
we'll worth while. There was
danger in the division Of this
country into pro-ally and pro.
German factions. We should

the East Oregonian believes

there is no necessity for taking

FOLK ADDRESSES
TAKOMA AUDIENCE
Washington's Ideals for Ameri-
oa Explained as Urgings for
Z Peace.

That there is a patriotism Of peace
Nuually as potent as the patriotism
OF war, ana which is manifested in
service TO mankind was the keynote
OF an address delivered last night at
Takoma Park by Joseph w. Folk. for
mer governor of Missouri and chief
counsel Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
'"rhe American spirit Is as strong
today" sold Governor Folk. "as It
was in the days that gave birth to
the republic. There is now but one
heart In all. North, South, East, and
West, and that the heart Of America"
Washington spoke not only Of the pa
tYiotism that for the country's glory
bravely walks even to the cannon's
mouth, but he taught larger pa
triotism that in the battles of peace will
stand courageously In the 'front.' ranks
patriotism Of service is the religion Of
Washington-service OF God. service OF
country, and service of fellow-men.
The maximum Of service is brotherhood.
I'VE have not yet come to q full un-
ton. We may not attain them soon. but
we can strive for them with the as
surance that this endeavor VIII lead
up the heights OF achievement and at
nit where shines, unobstructed. the
light of the Fatherhod OF God and the
brotherhood of man. Thus will the
ideals Of Washington be fulfilled"
Governor Folk was introduced BY
w. @. Platt. president of the Takoma
Park Citizens Association.
The exercises we're in the Presbyterian
Church. The Rev. Thomas G. Clark,
the pastor of the church. pronounced
the invocation and the benediction.
Mrs. Laura Ray Renshaw, Mrs.
Luther Hawley, and Luther Hawley
furnished solos. A hit of the evening
was a recitation of "Washington's 3
Birthday" by Master Milton Seaman,
six years of age.
The choir Of the church under the
direction of James w. Dyre rendered
patriotic selections.
The committee was Col G. c. Kniffin,
L. M. Mooers, and ]. Bond Smith.
