Interstate Commerce Commis- sion Reopens Hearing Which May Relieve Rail- roads From Present Hard ships.
(By Review Leased wire.1

WASHINGTON. Oct. 22.-The inter- state Commerce Commission tonight responded to the plea of eastern rail roads for financial relief by reopen ing the fif:een per cent rate advance case so far as these carriers are con cerned. The first hearing was set for November 5, here.
 In so doing the commission acted practically on its own initiative, dis missing as fin error suggestion made by the carriers at the conference here last week to the effect that the 15 per cent case be continued for at least 50 days.
 The Is per cent case is still open and before the commission" the com mission advised George Stuart Patter- son, counsel for the eastern roads. If your suggestion is well grounded that further financial reief is needed by the carriers, it is obvious that such reief should be had promptly in order that transportation demands in time of war be fully met"
 The commission Is emphatically of the opinion" the letter further on states, that the evidence necessary to establish the full truth should be presented without delay in order that the carriers may be maintained in a position to do their full war duty"
 Had Asked Raises.
 The railroads had asked the confer ence that a method of procedure be adopted under which they might ob- tain speedily advances upon certain commodities upon which they were re- fused advances by the commission last June, fotably grain and grain products, dressed meats. petroleum and sand, ce- ment and stone. The commissions re- sponse not only provides speedy pro cedure under which the railroads may present data looking to raise in rates on these products-too speedy to suit some of the railroads it is understood but opens the doors to the admis- sion of arguments looking to a gener- al advance in all rates east of the Mis- sissippi and north of the Ohio rivers.
 It is regarded as probable that the southern and western carriers, partic- ularly the latter, already showing re- ductions in net earnings, will roin in the request for an advance.
 Must Show Need. l
 eBtween the re-opening of the case and the granting of higher rates, how ever, it was pointed out tonight there is wide distinction. Under the pres ent ruling. the eastern roads will have to show conclusively the need of in- creased rates before the proposed in- creases will be authorized. The pres ent simply permits the roads to pre- stent their case and apparently a much larger case than the railroads had figured on presenting so soon.
 The commissions decision to reopen the famous case was announced in a letter made public tonight addressed by its secretary to MT. Patterson, at Philadelphia, in which the way was left open for southern and western car riers to join in the proceedings. if they so desired

 ANY NEAR PEACE
British Premier States That a Lasting Peace Is Not on the International Horizon, But England Will Fight On.

LONDON, Oct. 22.-Premier Lloyd George and the chancellor of the ex- chequer, Andrew Bonar Law, were the principal speakers at an imposing dem onstration in Albert hall this after noon to inaugurate the autumn cam paign for national economy. The hall was crowded. while on the platform were many distinguished men. includ- ing the archbishop Of Canterbury General Shuts, the members of the cabinet and the allied diplomats
 The premier. who was given a tre- mendous reception, declared that the magnitude of the enthusiasm gather ing in the fourth year of the war was the best proof of the determination of this country to prosecute the war un- til victory was achieved.
 The cost of the war was gigantic: 1t was heavy today and would be heavy tomorrow.
 One hundred and twenty thousand workers on war savings committees q work and he thanked them for their labors in connection with the last war loan, which had been most successful and also in connection with the food economy campaign which had resulted in a saving in food supplies of from to 2 per cent. That in itself meant saving Of hundreds of thousands or tons. After drawing a comparison be- tween the extravagances of war time and peace time and making a plea for economy, the premier said:
 To Shorten War.
 The way to shorten the war is to prepare as if the struggle was going to be a long one. 1 am not going to predict when the end of the war will come-no man in his senes would pro long it one hour if there were an op- portunity for a real and lasting peace. But it must be a lasting peace. It must not be a peace which would be the prelude to a new and more devas- tating war
 q have been scanning the horizon anxiously and cannot see any terms in sight which would lead to an endur- ing peace.
 "I feel that the only terms which are possible now would be terms which would end in an armed truce. l will say an armed truce ending in an even r,1ra fr;ohff,,l gtr
 War Is Terrible.
 "This war is terrible beyond all. But terrible as it is in itself, it is still more terrible in the possibilities which it has revealed of new horros on land and sea and in the air.
 ''I ask those who are pressing -i should there be any-for a premature peace to reflect for a moment what might happen if We made an unsatis- factory settlement-all the best scien- tific brains in the lands, stimulated by national rivalry. national hatred. na- tional hopes, devoting their energies for 10, 20, 30 years to magnify tae destructive powers of these horrible | agents. whose power is only just dis closed.

THE TRIMMINGS" OF LIFE

Human activities have from time immemorial been divided into two classes, commonly designated by the plain-spoken as the essentials" and the trimmings"
 The division is an arbitrary one, and like most arbitrary divisions Is frequently unfair. It implies that the one is vitally necessary while the other is superfluous. This is far from being the truth.
 Many centuries ago great teacher declared that Man shall not live by bread alone" The truth has lost nothing of it's force with the passage of time. There are many vital inter ests in life besides that of a mere subsistence. These interests are they which mark the dividing line between man and the brute creation. They are the demands of his nature that grow out of his higher intelli- gence, and they are just as essential to the completion of the character as are the demands of subsistence to the development of the purely physical
 If we are to reap the full reward of our service we must not set aside the social demands of life. It is un- true to say we have no time for such. Time devoted to the cultivation of the social life-in reason--is never wasted. It is really a period devoted to the storing of energy and resourc- .es that shall aid us in the more ma terial tasks. An intimate knowledge of the characteristics of our fellows fs a valuable knowledge Brushing np against the aims and aspirations of our friends gives us impetus to our own aspirations and sends us forth to the contest with renewed force and vigor.
 of life can be successfully pursued without losing sight of those higher Interests that mark the man or wo- man of an upward vision. The me- chanic can as easily be a gentleman as a lout. Even the crossing sweeper need not be boor. Cooking and dish washing need not bar the mind and heart from things above and be yond the humble task. It Is as easy for the farmer to meditate on the great philosophies of earth as upon the virtues or failures of a political candidate. Tn short. achievement may have for its end the higher. things oi life as we'll as the baser.
 Keep the fires burning brightly on the social altars. It is for the high CT development of humanity that we are now struggling, and it would surely be a perversion of our efforts did we lose sight of the golden grain while contending ourselves with the husks of life. si

A PREDICTION

Senator S. C. Sims of Hazen was caught red handed accepting bribe during the session of the general assembly in March of this year. He was convicted. sentenced to serve one year in the penitentiary and fined S1.S00 He appealed the case to the supreme court, which tribunal affirmed the verdict rendered in the lower court. Recently he asked for a rehearing in the supreme court, which was denied. Influential po- litical friends are now importuning the governor to grant pardon. It has also been stated that petition has been filed asking the governor to grant stay of execution until Sims can wind up his personal affairs.
 The Courier-Index makes the pre- diction that Senator Sims will never serve day of his justly imposed sen. fence. The verbose, platitudinous, chocolate bon-bon, poetical idealist who denounces political crooks De- fore election and consorts with ballot box thieves and political degenerates after election, who trims his sails to suit the shifting political winds, who is all things to all men, whose wob- bly political convictions skid like an unclaimed Ford on gumbo road the chameleon governor of Arkansas will yield to the importunities of the Christian citizenship. who have so strongly petitioned for executive ciemency, and who represent that Senator Sims meant no harm by act ing as the receiving end of a little monetary transfer" and grant stay of execution. that will later be follow ed by pardon on condition that the offending solon be more secretive with his next transaction involving the betrayal of a secret trust.

 We cannot but believe that such was the case. Too we'll He knew the awful depravity of the unregenerate heart of man; too we'll He knew the fearful lust of pride and power against which men must battle and under which they must be ground to powder; too well He knew by what slow degrees the world would be brought to a realization of the faith that but one human attribute can ever be taken into the great beyond love.
 1t was said of Him that .'He was in the world and the world knew Him not" If the world. then. knew Him not. how much less shall it know His teachings without diligent study and search?
 It would be we'll for the American people, as they approach the ami versary of the Messianic Birth. to again fortify themselves with the teachings of the Son of Man. We should look into the national heart and see that in the momentuous con- flict before us, we harbor no un. worthy motives by which we may help to defer the consummation of His benediction, Peace on earth. good will to men," It would be we'll that we again assure our own hearts that we desire but the everlasting Right and Truth.
 Having, then. assured our hearts of these things, let us revert to just one incident in His life. Let us re- call that when He found the temple of God profaned, with scourge of cords. He drove the profaners from its precincts. Wonderful man. For His own safety He would not con- tend. but for the honor of His Father yes!
 Was it a divine pointing of the way for His followers all down the ages? Surely it could not have been trivial incident of no particular significance to man. Such incidents had no place in his life. Assured. then. that peace loving mercy loving, truth loving America has but one aim. the preserving of the sanctity of the Fathers temple that temple which is the great heart of humanity-we can approach this benigned season with hearts attuned to its significance-the anniversary of. the earthly advent of the Prince of Peace. Coming in this spirit we, like the Shepherds of old on the Judean hills. may catch a glimpse of that light that dispels the darkness of ignorance and avarice and shall make of all men followers and cham pions of the Right.
 And as we approach that day let 1t be with hearts that can feel for all peoples everywhere. Let it be with a fervent hope that soon the clouds that now encompass us may | be rifted and dispersed. and the beneficient sun of world wide righte- ousness may shine thenceforth for ever. Let 1t be with a faith that the eternal principles of Justice and Right for which we stand will ulti- mately rule the earth. and man see his fellowman for that which he is | his brother.
