IDENTIFY men

MONEY, But CAN'T
PROSECUTE.

Lennon. May 24-Dr. o. W.
Phelps has returned from Aberdeen
where he identified the suspects held
there on the charge of robbing him
of $3.50 a week before somewhere
east Of Bowdle on one of the Mil
waukee flyers. The two men are be-
ing held in Aberdeen on the charge
of holding up another party at the
Milwaukee depot in Aberdeen.
DIT. Phelps states that he cannot
bring any action against the suspects
for the reason that he cannot say in
what county the robbery occurred.
But he positively identified them as
the men who engaged him in conVer-
sation in the smoking car and who
disappeared just before he became
aware of his loss. The men gave
Chicago as their residence and are
no doubt members of gang that has
been operating in this section.

Weakness of Government Ownership

weakness OF government O"Het SfiiPs
On the subject of government owner
ship OF railways Mr. Acworth said:
1T is impossible to obtain satisfac
tory results on government railways
In a democratic state unless the man
agement is cut loose from direct polit
lcal control Neither Australia nor
any other country with a democrat
ic constitution-perhaps an exception
ought to be made Of Switzerland-h has
succeeded in maintaining a permanent
severance. In France, in Belgium, in
Italy, parliamentary interference never
has been abandoned for a moment.
The facts show that government in
reference has meant running the rail
ways not for the benefit Of the people
at large but to satisfy local and sec
tional and even personal interests
Prussia. Mr. Acwo1th said was the
best example OF an efficient govern
ment railway system. and he pointed
out that military considerations were
treated as of paramount importance IN
the Prussian railway system While
American freight rates had been re
duced nearly 40 per cent In thirty
years, rates in Prussia were nearly as
high as at the beginning of the period
While the charge for moving ton OF
freight one mile In the United States
was trifie over three-qnarters OF o

were expressed in answer to questions
by members of the committee. who
asked him to apply his knowledge
of railway conditions throughout the
world and Of the experience or other
countries with government ownership
to the present problem before the Unit
ed States.
The fundamental factor in the sit
nation is very simple" said Mr. Ac-
worth. 1T lies IN the fact that you
cannot get three-quarters OF cents
worth OF work done for less than three
quarters of cent no matter whether
the agency performing it is a govern.
ment or private enterprise Freight
rates must advance when the cost Of
performing the service advances as
il is doing al present, just as the price
If bread or meat or any other com
modify increases with increased cost
Of production"
In answer to a question Mr. Ac
worth said that he thought American
freight rates had been at much too low
a level for several years past. that they
had reached This low point during the
period of cutthroat competition among
the roads and had since been held
there by regulating bodies. Unless re
lief were afforded TO the carriers very

Hold to Your Dreams.

Isn't It possible that the only thing
which makes It possible for us to per.
form the daily drudgeries of life Is the
hope for better things which blooms In
our hearts?
Hope is romance? Ambition is ro-
nance. All the fine. true inspirations
of life are romantic. Romance leads
to achievement unless IL blossoms In
the mind of n lazy, shiftless creature
who is incapable of action. The man
who leads forlorn hope Is romantic.
The hero who gives his life fighting
dread disease to which he succumbs,
but against which he has insured hui
manity. Is romantic. Romance is the
thing which makes 1t worth while for
men to sacrifice material comforts and
die on strange fields Of honor.
In materlalistic world where we
have to deal with the facts of earning
our livings and fighting for place and
position. the thing which lifts us above
blind instinct Is romance. Cherish
your dreams, for they give you n
glimpse of beauty and make you
willing to struggle over cruel noun
tains and harsh plains to the pot of
gold ut the rainbow's end. Dreams
give respite from dreary reality and
urge on to all that Is big and fine
Exchange.
