DRIVING Out the Money Changers.

suggestion that the people, already heavily taxed should bs
taxed again to make up with their money for all the rail-
road msmanagement.
1t is actually suggested that out Of the public pocket
book thousands of millions should be taken in the shape
OF loans this money to be used to rebuild railroads
neglected by their private owners that the rates charged
the public should be increased in order to enable the private
interest but at the time dividends the cr
naly watered stock of their bankrupt and mismanaged
concerns.
These propositions are made all in the name of PATRI
OTISM in the of the nations necessities in the
of WAR.
Are dishonesty and incompetency to be rewarded mis-
management to be financed criminal watering of stock be
rewarded with dividend payments guaranteed by the public
and made possible by greatly increased charges the pub
lic-al in the name of patriotism?
Is money taken from the people in the shape of patriotic
oans taken from the people by force in the shape Of
taxes to be handed hundreds of millions that have
shown themselves dishonest and incompetent? Are rail-
roads to be restored eequpped and basis of exo
onate charges reward of merit for those that appear
Owners, confessng incompetency, mismanagement,
ineffciency?
How dare any suggest that Government deal in this
way with the railroads? We take that with any
serious position in Government will ndorse the suggestion
1t enough to give to the railroads first their rights
of way then the land both Sides then gigantic for
construction.
1t would be little too much to rebuild those railroads
and for second time give the private reward
bad faith and bad and thousands
of millions taken from the people already heavily taxed
The money changers were driven out in the old day.
The money grabbers and proteers will be driven in
this day from the temple in which they doing such
thriving business
It will remorseess energy and the highest authority
drive them forth now did nineteen hundred years
ago.

Love Is a Big
Energy Dynamo
By MABEL DODGE

"HERE is only one thing in
life that we can really
own.
That is esGrPy.
Everything ir civilization Is a
variation Of energy and comes oct
of man. Geoeuse everything Is
either al exiers'on Of mans inder
energy or is produced by it.
What is a diamond until man
has found it and worked upoa il
with his skill and produced its
teauty?
What is a motor car if il IS not
an extension of man?
And a street car?
And a train? =
And an airplane?
Extra legs for men!
Extra wings
And typewriters? Extra fingers!
And monographs? Extra voieesl
And extra means beyond.
Man with all these extra hands
and legs and voices is surely the
beyond man" that Nietzsche
talked abouti
But perhaps we have gone too
far.
Perhaps wita our inner energy
-light-we have an1plified our
selves and empowered ourselves
beyond the possibility Of safety.
We have run away with our
selves. Because we have let our
extensions get out Of hand. -.
The idea Of force always carries
IN il the germ of self-destruction-
The equality Of man means that
every man is born into the world
with his sole possession, his en-
ergy. His problem is how to re-
lease it and use it for others.
They all start even provided
they are not idiots or defective in
some way. And even detectives
many Of them-keep up with the
rest and sometimes surpass them.
How each man uses his energy
and what he does with it consti-
tutes his history.
All that he produces is forms Of
his energy.
All that he acquires is forms Of
other mems energies. which his en-
ergy has won to him
The main exchange Of the world
q an exchange Of energy.
All things are symbols Of t.
Money is a symbol Of it--and cns
Of the ways of exchanging IL
Love is a symbol Of it and one
Of the ways of exchanging it
Money, which insures our nu-
triton, and Love, which insures.
our reproduction, are the two
greatest energy carriers in the
world
All that we cun see or name il
an energy carrier Of great or
mail measure.

tried it, and Fisher doused them
with cold water.
Then they started in to make life

had was something like this: A man

HUGE SUM PLACED AT DISPOSAL OF
 BELGIUM BY U. s,
(By Review Leased Wire).

WASHINGTON, May 16-The Unit. ed States lent Russia s100,O00,OO0 to- day.
 The money was lent to be spent as needed. without stipulated or un- derstanding of any sort further than that Russia stands back of the obi gation, will make it good and will spend the money in this country, un- der the supervision of a representa- tive of the treasury department or a commission to be named by the Am erican government.
 The latter stipulation was made in a spirit of cooperation without in- tending to embarrass the Russian government, or to curtail its purchas- ing power. but with the end in view that Russia will secure the maximum result for the money she is to spend.
 In this respect, Russia stands on an equal footing with other entente governments to which the United States is making loans, the only dis tinction being that in application of the program Russia heads the list. Plans for mobilizing in American hands all purchases to be made here by the allies rapidly are nearing com pletion.
 A credit of s45,OOO.OOO to Belgium also was established today by Sece- tary McAdoo the sum to be with drawn in six monthly installments of $7.500.000 each. The transaction marked Belgium's first participation in the loan to the allies and brought the total of sums advanced and ere dits established by the government to entente nations up to S650,000,000.
 This total of credits and loans is distributed as follows:
 Gr,nt Britain s325 OOO GOO; France s1OO ,OOO roo; Ialy, s1OO OO0.OOO: Rus sir. s1CO,CGO,O0O; Belgian. si5.OOO.- COG.
