victims he brought in during the first

States Attorney H. L. Layne of
Wells county says he did not accept

While attempting to pass another
car on the road a few miles east of

When these come to be examined
for Implications it appears that 40
per cent of our railroad stock is in
the hands of two groups Of inanciers
in New York city, who own or con-
troll twO-thirds Of our important mile
age.
1t is for their benefit that freight
rates are to be increased again. Not
directly for the sake Of increased
dividends but for the sake Of opera
tions in railroad securities, which
furnish the greater part Of their
profits.

it be reasonable to ask now and then

RATES AND RAIDS

RATES AND RAIDS.-On the
plea that the eight hour law for rail
road workers will increase operating
expenses the companies are demand
ing a Is per cent increase in freight
rates.
The new law hasn't gone into
effect yet, but they want the rates
hOisted now. Nobody knows how
much operating expenses will be in
creased, if at all. That makes no
difference. Give us our Is per cent
advance and give it quickly.
Fifteen per cent increase in freight
rates will be 80 per cent increase in
the cost Of living by the time it gets
to the tables and weekly bills of the
workers and producers.
That would mean that the railroad
workers would have to ask for an
other increase in wages, otherwise
they would be worse off than before.
WhereupOn the railroad companies
would pry up rates again and repeat
the old situation.
This kind of thing has already
happened twice in our history and is
likely to happen again and again.

the railroad or coal industry (haVing

Gus decision in American history is
being taken, seems 4 timely one for
an American correspondent who has
spent most of the years OF the war IN
England and France to attempt to cN-
plain the attitude here toward the
United states as a possible belhgerent,
and toward the American part I'm the
great settlement that must follow the
end Of the war.
For the past month | have tried to
sound all -hadcs of opinion recording
Wilson's peace note and his speech to
the senate, now that Germany has
suddenly thrown herself into the arms
of her iincOes and decided TO defy
the world. ueaCc seems to recede into
the indefinite distance, and today it
is to Wilson, the commandcr-in. chief
of the American army and naNy

that Europe looks for action. But II

"The high idealism of Wilson's pol
icy. his lofty and disinterestcd mo-
tives We have all along realized" said
a high British official today. "but all
that he said and did seemed to us
vitiated by the necessity under
when he found himself to pretend
that the German motives and aims
were the same as ours. and that they
could be realized by peace without
Victory. Now, IL America takes her
stand openly on the right sile, she
can truiy serve humanity first by
helping to put down the enemy of
civilization, then by eXerting all her
efforts for an equitable settlelne nt
which shall insure the peace of the
world. Arerica's mistake has been
that she has not realized the neco ssity
of doing the first before it was even
