So. let us not be prejudiced in our
dealings with the common carriers.
Let us investigate the conditions that
confront them before Judging them.
If increases in freight and passenger
rates are seen to be necessary, it is
only right and just that they should
be granted.

'sThe Young Man and His Vocation


Every normal person is eager tc
succeed in life. Many fail because
they are not doing the kind of work
for which they are suited, or because
they are not properly trained for
their work. "The Young Man and
His Vocation" by DR.. F. S. Harris,
will help the young man to find his
place in the world and will show him
how to make the most of himself The
industrial demands of modern life
are explained and the reader is
shown how he can meet these de-
mands. The opportunities and re-
quirements in each kind of work are
discussed in such way that the
young man is aided materially in Sc
lecting his life's work and in prepar-
ing himself for it.
Mr.. Harris is bachelor of science
as we'll as doctor of philosophy. He
has lived in Utah, Mexico, Canada and
New York. He has taught a large
number of scientific subjects and is
member of twenty-three scientific
societies. He is the author of "Prin-
ciples of Agronomy," of sixty-five
periodical articles, and of one hun
dred and fifty editorials. He might,
therefore, be considered competent to
deal with his subject.

Echoes Of journalism Week

From the Corn Belt Publisher Denison
iowa. official organ of the Iowa Press
Association.
One of the most notable events we
believe ever conceived and conducted
in this country was that of the Made
in-Japan Banquet given at the Uni
versity of Missouri at Columbia. 1t
was the most unique affair we have
heard of in this country. =
1t was thus as much of a Japanese
banquet as could possibly be produc-
ed in this country at this time and
through it all breathed the spirit of
friendly greeting and good will to-
ward the people of this country.

THE RAILROAD PROBLEM

Seventeen railroads operating in
Missouri have asked for an increase
of Is per cent in intra-state freight
rates. Petitions have also been pre-
sented to the Public Service Commits
sion asking for an increase in pas
senger rates to cents mile within
the state.
In petitioning for these increases,
the railroads state that added oper-
ating expenses make more income
necessary. The Adamson Law, they
say, will mean an added expense of
s15,OOO,OOO in wages for 1917. In
creases in the prices of coal and
rolling stock are also cited as reasons
why the railroads cannot operate
longer at profit without more in
come.
Large corporations have come in
for large share of prosecution and
persecution in the last few years.
The creating of trusts and interlock-
ing directorates has been largely re-
sponsible for this general distrust in
large corporations And the railroad
companies have been included in the
legal restraints imposed.
Because the railroad companies are
controlled by wealthy persons and
lave capitals running into millions
Is no reason for believing that they
cannot go bankrupt, however. Like
any business, railroad can fail to

MAKING A BETTER BILL


The so-called Food Control Bill as
passed by the House of Representa-.
tives was a much better measure than
as originally presented from the fed
eral Department of Agriculture. Am
pie power may be and should be
given to the executive department to
carry into effect legislation prevent
ing speculation in foods, Furnishing
conspiracies in restraint of trade or
for the protection of the consumer
and the producer against undue
profits of the middle men. 1t is not
necessary, however, in order to bring
this about that Congress should abdi-
cate its powers of legislation in be-
half of bureaus, boards or commits
sions or that the executive should be
given the power of attorney to act
Tor the laW-maklng body.
The House quite wisely eliminated
from the proposed measure the pro-
visions authorizing the fixing of
wages, including those of farm la
borers; the specific authorization to
regulate consumption by rationing or
control of individual meals; the au-
thorizatiOn of the food administration
to requisition factories, mines and
other plants; and included an exemp-
tion of fOodstuffs stored by producers
from the anti-hoarding penalties. 1t
also wisely eliminated the blanket |
control power of the President over
necessaries and limited it to the
goods mentioned in the bill, and
struck from the bill the power of the
President to prevent "uneconomical
manufacture and suitable distribution
of necessaries."
Other provisions will doubtless be
revised in the Senate, which now has
the measure under consideration. The
amendments adopted give added proof
of the wisdom of having important
bills given consideration and debated ,
at length in the committees and two ,
houses of Congress. The work done
by members of these two houses in '
and perfecting Il-consid-
cred bills drawn by departments for +.

commended. In directing public at S

Bank Bill, for which he was at the
time vigorously condemned and for a

But Danny asked to be excused and his average slunrped accordingly. He was not seeking honors on the Chau- tauqua circuit. With his usual mod esty he was satisfied to have deeds speak for themselves.
 Manager Murphy called upon the [Murlins' cross-eyed mascot to make a speech and he did fairly we'll until he remarked "that Danny Murphy was the best manager New Haven had in 1917'' He was immediately pushed from the banquet hall
 Hubert Sedgwfck, secretary to the mayor, spoke several minutes and em- phasized the fact that the Murlins' feat in winning the championship was a great boom to New Haven He said that he had enjoyed their play and hoped that the whole squad would be back next year. He paid a stirring tribute to Manager Murphy and Own- CT Collins, >remarlxing that New Ha- ven owed these men big debt of gratitude.
 Other speakers of the night included Owner Jim Colliss and Pitcher Fred Walker. Collins thanked the players tor the cooperation accorded him. Walker spoke from a players stand point. He said the big factor in the winning of the title was Danny Mur- phy. "sM1rrphy," said Walker, ''is the greatest baseball manager in the game ,aIld to him deserves the credit for New Haven S triumpf1s.''

 New York, Sept. 10.-Ra1ph Mulford is the latest prominent driver to enter the Hardness Cup Race at 100 miles for the s10,O0O trophy, which will be fought out among the worlds fore most pilots, on the Sheepshead Bay Speedway on Saturday afternoon, Sept. 22. The holder of the trans continental record last night informed William H. WeIlnan, promoter of the race, that he is ready to compete against Ralph De Palma, Louis Chew rolet, Ira Vail and some 2s other driv- CTS in the only automobile classic of the year.
 tMuMord is 8 Vanderbilt Cup winner, and early this season won the Omaha race and finished third to Chevrolet and Vail in the Cincinnati event. He IS a great favorite with metropolitan racing fans, both because of his per sonallty and intrepid driving.
 fcalpe De Palma 8 nd Louis CllevTo- let, who entered the race last week, are expected to appear at the seaside course the latter part of the week. They will begin preparatory work fol the. race soon after reaching the track. Keen rivalry exists between the pair, and new 100Lnile record is sure to be established

As a result of his good work in fin ishing in the first division in the East ern league race which closed last Sat- urday, Manager Krichell will be given chance to handle the Bridgeport club again next season. The peppery leader was told he could have the job if he brought his team under the wire among the first four and he came through, beating Worcester for fourth place by nine points. This Is a much better showing than last sea- son when the Bridgeport outfit finish ed in the cellar.
 -KricheIl's work was satisfactory considering that he had to gather an entirely new team for Ia circuit with which he was mot acquainted. The material left from last year was so poor that Pitcher iShanty House was sthe only one who retainedshis job. The only mistake Krichell8 made was in signing 50 many veterans. Next year younger players will be the rule.
 Most of the players left last night for their homes Grimes and Fergu- son went Saturday, the former to his home in Minerva, O., and Ferguson to report back to the Yankees. Bill Mar tin and Johnny Priest went to Wash ington, D: C., Corcoran to Buffalo N. Y., Mercer, Connolly and Lear to New York city, Gingras to Saratoga Springs, N. r., Lyons to Orange, N. J. Gather to Charlestown, Md, and Bracket to Mora, Minn. Shanty House has been appointed physical di- rector at Ohio Wesleyan university in Delaware, O., and will go there. Two more exhibition games are planned for NeWfield park On next Sunday the Yankees will play here and on the following Sunday the St Louis Browns. | The past season was not a finan- cfal success for the Eastern league
 Bridgeport and New Haven were the
 only clubs that made money. It ii thought that Hartford and Springfield
 must have lost heavily.

 New Haven, Sept. 10.-As a speech maker Danny Murphy is a good man ager.

All hands, which in- cluded players and several invited guests, made merry by leisurely dis posing of Landlord Nichols best wet and dry goods. But if any of them came with the intention of listening to Manager Murphy's speech they
 were doomed to disappointment Dan ny has won many laurels on the base
