busy man these days, and that If you
were in his shoes you would hardly
know to what to turn your hand next,
but despite the way he is crowded for

hours to go Christmas shopping with
his wife in Washington yesterday.
The couple moved about in the crowd,
buying here and there, and enjoying
the experience with the enthusiasm OF
a pair of youngsters.
President and Mrs. Wilson could
wait until the 18th hour to buy their
holiday gifts, and they would expert
ence no discomfort in getting what
they wanted. like the ordinary pur-
chaser would, for every store in the
capital would go out of its way to

The Railroad Crisis.

The railroads have been showing the
Interstate commerce commission that
they can't so on doing business, and
meeting war demands. without en-
eountering disaster. unless there is re-
lief afforded, and the result is that it
is likely that congress will do one of
two things: Permit the carriers TO
pool their resources and earnings for
the period Of the war, suspend the
antitrust laws applying 10 the rail-
roads. all the rail systems to be OPP

As a rule, the public is slow to SYM

reasoning will convince the unpreju-
diced mind that there must be some
aid afforded the carriers in the alb
normal situation that has arisen since
the nation was plunged into war. True.
there has been vast growth in husi-

figures to show that the enlarged in

However, II is hardly likely that there

of us expects railroad to operate at
loss, Therefore, any reasonable
concession that Is made towards re-
lieving the railroads in their prevail

Carter Sentenced to Hang.

II the verdict of the jury in the
Rock Island circuit court in the case
Of win Carter, slayer Of Peter Jelvek,
is carried through. his will be the
first hanging to take place in the
county in IS years. It will be recalled
that William Heilwagen died on the
scaffold in the jail yard on Fourteenth
street, March "a, 1882 His crime was
the murder Of his sons wife in Hamp-
fon township.
There is no division Of sentiment
concerning What the fate Of Carter
should be. rs crime was one Of the
most cold-blooded on record, shooting
down his victim as he rose up in his
bed to inquire as to the identity OF
the intruder in his room.
Carter made a full confession to
the police and be was so deliberate
IN his recital OF the facts that there
were fears that public feeling would
become so high that he might be dis
posed Of via the lynch route and the
cost OF a prosecution spared to the

two hours for the jurors TO decide
