Hats Off

Hats off to the young men of
Ohio. No sooner had the final
numbers been drawn in Wash
ington of those expected to join
in bringing success to the cause
against the common enemy
Prussianism-than there was
evidence that the men were
ready to answer the call. The
draft caught the rich and the
poor, the low and the high, the
athlete and the cripple, and be-
cause of the practical demon
stration of this fact, not one
word of complaint has been
heard. Business men drawn
are preparing their affairs, and
there is not going to be nearly
the demand for exemption at
first supposed, the majority of
the men selected will respond
to the call without a murmur.
Just how soon the men will be
asked to report is not known.
Hardly possible to issue the
first call before September 1st,
although in the meantime the
county and district boards will
be busy preparing the list OF
eligibles, the physical examina-
tion will be made, and when the
call does come there will be a
response of as fine a lot of men
as ever carried the colors. The
men called will, according to the
present plans, assemble in their
home stations, but only a few
days, when they will be sent to
Chillicothe, where the great
camping ground is being rushed
to completion. 1t will be ready
when the government is ready
to send on the first men. In the
Chillicothe camp the men will
be kept for several months,
probably until next January or
February, when they will be
transferred to another training
camp for final work, and then
unless the war is all over-they
will be transported to France.
Just how soon the second call
comes of those included in the
draft last week depends upon
events IN Europe. 1t may come
soon, and it may never come.
Whatever be the future, Ohio's
registered men are ready.

The Pauper
Railroads
Toledo News Bee.

Confidence in the Interstate
Commerce Commission has been
strengthened by it's ruling on
the Is per cent rate case. It's
decision is conspicuously right.
The railroads do not need the
Is per cent freight increase. No
American business institution
has as good credit as the stand
ard railroad. 1t can borrow
money, because it is making
money. The roads of the So
called eastern districts last year
earned more than 104 per cent
on all their capital stock out
standing, including water. This
is according to the sworn re-
turns made by the railroads to
the Intertate Commerce Com
mission. thirds of the
traffic in the eastern railroad
district is handled by roads
which earned on an average
more than Is per cent on all
their capital stock last year.
The truth is our railroads are
tremendously wealthy. Two
thirds of the traffic of the United
States is handled by railroads
having more than one thousand
millions of surplus, Of which
eight hundred millions is cash
on deposit or invested in the Sc
curities of other companies.
1t is not a patriotic spectacle
presented by the roads which
have come hat in hand to Wash.
ington, begging for more in
come. Everybody is called up
on to do little bit of sacrifice
for the big purpose of war eff
cheney; a lot of poor people are
going to have to sacrifice, wheth-
er they want to or not.
The railroads will do well now
to turn their attention to the
very pressing need for making
themselves efficient. If they do
not do so soon the government
will take them over. And per-
haps that might be the best
thing after all.

scene from the observation platform
wondered who the distinguished look

see the woman throw herself into a

Being interested in law and order, we
have been following certain contro-
versy between an editor on one side and
some members of a law and order socie-
ty, and knowing the facts in the case,
we are led to wonder why such warping,
stretching and approaches to untruth, as
many children indulge in, is employed
bv men, and we have decided that since
man has a physical intellectual and
moral nature, all must be developed to
make a balanced man, and if the moral
nature from whatever cause has had an
arrested development we can expect
Just such childish stories to remain with
the man. Why does the child tell un-
truths? 1t is for some hope of gain or to
avert punishment. In some cases might
it not we'll be through fear of punish
ment from the hand that feeds them.
When the childs untruth is of kind
that brings him advantage or saves from
punishment, we must take pains to un-
stand his impulses and temptations and
help him to achieve character of truth.
But in cases of arrested development,
wherein the man has had all the variety
of experience that he probably will ever
have, and made all the effort to achieve
truth that he is likely to make, and still
retains the moral nature of child, we
advise that in all such known cases
avoid controversy and questions that re-
quire character to answer truthfully. So
we advise, drop it.

SHOWS AN INCREASE
Ohio Death Rate For 1916 Announced
by Health Board.


Columbus. July 23.-Ohio's death
rate for 1916 increased from 1898 to
14.4, according to mortality statistics
given out by DR.. ]. E. Monger, regis
trar Of vital statistics. There were
1920 deaths from all causes, com.
pared with 66,070 for 1916. The In
creased rate means a loss of approx
mately 1900 lives.
Paulding county for the third sue
cessive year is given the lowest death
rate. Summit county is credited with
the highest. Death rates in ten cities
show an increase. Akron shows the
largest, Toledo also reported large
increase. In Akron, as well as Toledo,
the increases probably are due to
faulty population estimates.

By EDWARD HEATING
Congressman from the Third Colo
RADIO Districp'

Washington, D. c. Last
week | quoted rather freely
srom so a letter written by John
Skelton Williams, comptroller
Of on the currency, to show the
sUtlaggering 81 profits which We're
hong hong made out of coal and
stpel. yt The ordinary citizen
nav nav view with Indifference an
adv ndvance in steel, but we are all
vitally concerned about the
nrice of coal. 1t is one of the
prime necessaries of life.
Since the publication of Mr..
Williams letter a mass of evi-
dence has developed to prove
that his statements, particular
" as to coal, were extremely
conservative.
Testifying before a commit
tee of the Senate, coal operat-
ors said they had been satisfied
with net profit of ten cents
a ton in peace times. NOW
THEY WERE MAKING
FROM THIRTY TO FIFTY
TINES THAT AMOUNT.
Plead "Human Element"
When pressed for reason
for this attempt to hold-up the
public, one of the operators
said he thought it was the
human element, and a sena-
tor suggested that it might be
necessary to call in the experts
of the Public Health Service to
prescribe a remedy for the
dreadful malady which caused
patriotic" men to rob their
fellow citizens while the ma
ton was in the midst of a great
war.
Senator Pomerene of Ohio
pointed out that the city of
Cleveland sonsumed about
100000 tons of coal a year.
An increase of one dollar ton
was equivalent to the levying
of tax of six million dollars! F.!
As matter Of fact, the aver
age advance was not less than
three dollars a ton, and the re-
sultant profit to the coal pi-
rates in the neighborhood Of
eighteen million dollars a year.
Some of the coal men plead
ed that lack Of railroad cars
was responsible for all the
trouble, but they did not get
very far with that plea. It
was shown that one Ohio coal
company had held large
number of cars of coal on side
tracks awaiting an advance in
price. An officer of this con-
Germ boasted that the railroad
mad charged his company $40O
week demurrage for the use
OF the cars but that his profits
mad been increased $1,000 a
week.

Mr.. and Mrs. E. w. Tucker left
Sunday morning for Monte Vista
where they visited Mr.. and Mrs.
Frederick McNew, returning Thurs
day noon. They report a pleasant
trip and were particularly impressed
with the vast fields of potatoes
growing in that section. Acres upon
acres stretch away in every direction
as far as the eye can reach, and the
growth is splendid. Gene said he
didn't think there were potatoes
enough in the country to make seed
to SOW such an endless potato patch,
He also said that the farmers claim
that if they irrigate three times in a
season, they are giving them lrts OF
water which shows that the average
