F1imsy Excuse for Railroad.
ALMA, Neb.. Jan. 3l.--To the Editor of
The Bee: notice several articles in The
Bee recently relating TO the attitude of
the Union Pacific charging interstate
rates in western Nebraska. The article
by the railroad official was 20 the. effect
that because the road runs short
distance in Colorado at Julesburg that
shipments were interstate and that the
rates were put in effect by direction Of
the Interstate Commerce commission and
the road was compelled to charge inter-
state rates etc.
The Burlington railroad runs into Kan
sas short distance near Reynolds and
Hardy, Neb.. on the line in southern Ne
braska- II the one road charges inter-
state rate and other not. one or the other
is violating this order of the commission
However for the information OF the
Union Pacific, the citizens In western Ne
braska and any one interested. beg leave
to cite the decisions OF the United States
courts on the subject, viz:
The mere passage OF freight and pas
sengers over the soil OF another state IN
transit between points in the same state
does not render the transportation inter-
state 80 as to exclude power Of the state.

A Good Word for MT. Ford.

Good Word for MT. Ford.
COUNCIL BLUFFS. Ia. Feb. Ito
the Editor Of The Bee: II is not very
often ] undertake TO write anything for
publication but under the circumstances
! feel that a good word for Mr.. Ford is
due, even from the average citizen.
Mr.. Ford, while a poor guesser, had
high ambitions and undoubtedly sincere
aims in view He missed the target OF
peace by a good many nautical miles, but
brought down some facts as trophies for
the Americans to look at and consider.
He very pointedly proved that all the
countries bordering on the north side
were indeed chilly, and entirely destitute
OF warmth-that very important opening
wedge that paves the way for an under
taking of this kind. The surroundings
seemed to sound the same sentiment
wintry. cold. destitute OF civility and for
getting for the time, at least. the good
intentions OF the callers.
The countries visited brought wildly
home to the heart OF every American citi-
zen clearer conception of the effect of
the war even upon neutrals II shows
the exceedingly bright and sunny spots
America holds under the sun, only maxi
ing the clouds over Europe the biacker.
and land OF thorns. cactus and desoia-
ton, where the death damp pervades all.
and there Is no sound OF music, no Joy,
no fellowship and no enlightening philoso-
ply. All Is reversed and dismal.
The Ford idea visibly reflected the sem
timents Of tens Of thousands in this coun-
try. although It sounded the death kneli
OF many high hopes. 1t brought many
converts to the standard OF Peace with
Justice" and. lastly, It raised quite a dust
that seemed to disturb the vision Of the
preparedness" crowd. Ultimately they
will have to consult the common people
for a remedy to let the blessed light shine
in as In days gone by. d. r. o.

An Appeal for Southern whites.
CAMP HILL. Ala, Jan. 3l.-To the Ed
itor Of The Bee: On behalf of the neg
lected white youth Of the south, will YOU
allow me to make an appeal? The South
ern Industrial Institute, which founded
nearly eighteen years ago, has a planta-
tion Of 400 acres in land and plant worth
about $4,000. I can no better illustrate
the work that we are doing than to re-
late this incident;
Just before Christmas little boy
dropped In upon US. He had no parents.
no home. no clothes and seemed to come
from nowhere. He came, he said, be-
cause ''Mr. Bob" told him that would
not turn him away. His parents, he had
been told, died when he was weeks old.
and he had spent part of his time in an
orphans homo and the rest IN various
places He il a little blue-eyed boy about
10 or Is years old, with no bad, habits
Camp Hill was already over-crowded ana
no means at hand for Jimmie. decided
to keep him over night and send him
away In the morning. But when the
morning came there were so many frIends
that had come to his rescue could not
send him away without raising an insur-
rection among our teachers Jimmie's
case is by no means isolated. For him
we need $50 for q scholarship and SIS for
clothing.
The great world war has seriously
handicapped the donations for this insti-
tuition, and coupled with this Is the un-
certain condition OF the treasury OF the
state. which owes us 5000. The legisla-
ture proposed a bond issue to take I'D
some OF the more pressing obligations OF
the state. At an election recently held
throughout the commonwealth the Yneas-
ure was voted down. This leaves the
public schools in a very dire condition
and puts the hope Of any Immediate nav
ment 10 the Camp Hill school beyond the
realm OF possibilities. II the humble boys
and girls of the state were TO blame for
these conditions should not appeal for
them. Nor II I did not feel that the very
best way to change the troubled condi-
tons OF this state were to educate its
country youth should not appeal 10 the
public. But the only permanent helm Il
seems to me comes from the education OF
the class that I am now working with.
