THE ovERWoRKED RAILROADS.

More trains were late last month than in any November since the civil war.
 There is more congestion of traffic than ever experienced.
 The 693 railroads of the country have a mileage of 26O,OOO, but their equipment has been increased only 3 per cent in the last year; yet they are carrying material to keep all the ships crossing the Atlantic filled to capacity, IN ADDITION to the traf- fic demands of the United States. Passenger business likewise has broken all records the past year. The main railroads have been unable to dispense with many passenger trains, and coaches that have been discarded comprise merely observation and par Tor cars, which are not necessities on all trains.
 Our railroads in the past two months have had an added burden-transpor tation of supplies for 65 national can comments, which is equal to supplying the population and material for 16 new cities of 10000 persons each. This has required also the removal of 750,0OG members of the National guard. In all, additional army work utilized 13,50O coaches, 200 baggage and 4,50O flat cars.
 Then there has been the enormously increased iron ore tonnage sent tc steel plants that are trying to turr ] out enough new steel for the new ships to beat the submarine, as vel as sufficient steel to make munitions for Uncle Sam and his allies. In addition, there has been an enor mously increased utilization of coal which required still more cars. The railroads have been conducted as one big system. They have madt good in the great crisis-and it is nc wonder that more trains are late thi. month than ever before and that nor, congested traffic exists than ever
 This is the least of their troubles.

JOIN THE RED CROSS.

President Wilson has issued proc lamation urging every one not already a member of the Red Cross to join during the membership campaign which begins next Sunday and con- tinues until Christmas eve.
 The Red Cross is the premier or ganization concerned in this war. Its needs are great. With the United States plunged suddenly into the greatest conflict the world has ever known, the Red Cross has found the calls for relief greater than ever be- fore.
 It is fitting that we should have, preceding Christmas, says the Albu- querque Herald, a great campaign for the purpose of enrolling new mem- bers, for this is the object of the drive, to get sustaining memberships Solicitation for funds will come later probably in February, when the Amer ican people will be asked to Ego over the top" again.
 Americans can manifest their de votion to their country in it's hour of need in no better manner than to en- list in this great army of workers fo, humanity. Here in Albuquerque the women have been knitting socks and sweaters, making bandages and per forming various other acts of mercy calculated to alleviate the fsufferings of our soldiers and sailors. These loyal women have done yeoman serv, ice for the cause of humanity. They need the support and cooperation oi every person in the city.
 But it is not only at home that tho Red Cross has been busy. Thousands of nurses are working unceasingly or foreign battlefields to relieve the suf. ferings of the wounded. Their work is carried on many times within the sound of the guns and it not infre- quently happens that they are ii great danger. But they have dedi. cated their lives to the alleviation o1 the sufferings of the soldiers; to bind ing up the wounds of those who art hurt in battle; to writing farewell messages for soldiers to relatives a,

home, and in doing everything within their power to carry out the noble and inspiring precepts for which the Red Cross stands. They have forsaken home and friends. Many of them have given up wealth and social positions. If these brave, sacrificing young women are willing to do this, why should not we who are privileged to enjoy the comforts of home be eager to contribute the necessary amount re- quired to enroll as members of an or ganization with such high and com- mcndable aims?

eventually be saved for the allies. In adopting this attitude, land apparently in preventing the threatened with drawal of diplomatic representatives of the entente from Petrograd, it has kept Russia within the radius of allied influence. It has prepared the way for the return of a, government in Russia which will repudiate the armistice and abstain from aiding Germany. even though it may not be of much military assistance to the enemies of Germany. Our knowledge of the internal conditions of Russia is So slight that not even a plausible prediction can be made as to the prob ability of such resurrection. The Bolsheviki, in pursuing an active peace policy, are satisfying an in tense longing of the Russian people, and it may be some time before they can be dispossessed. But in the mean time the allies can encourage the Rus sian opponents of the Bolsheviki and prepare the way for the return of a Russian national government by talk ing a somewhat vigorous action along the lines of the presidents policy. They can issue an appeal to the Rus sian people, explaining the disastrous effects of an aarmistice and doing something by restatement of their war aims to prevent the Germans from appropriating the increasing popular craving for peace.-The New Republic.

Presidential Candidates.

Both political parties have habit
Of selecting comparatively poor men
for president. In this generation there
has not been a rich presidential candi'
date-at least not rich as defined by
the American lexicon.
Roosevelt Is the richest Republican
who was ever president or Republican
nominee for sojourn in the White
House. Wilson. Taft, Mckinley, Cleve-
land, Harrison, Garfield, Grant, Arthur.
Hayes, Johnson and Lincoln were not
rich.
Mo-. were the nominees. including
Bryan, Blaine i'd HANCOCK possessed
of great fortunes.
Samuel J. Tilden, however. was an
exception to the general rule. he
was a millionaire and was much the
wealthiest nominee Of either party
since before the civil war. In fact, he
was the richest man who ever ran for
president with any hope Of getting the
Office.
Washington was rich man for his
day, but his wealth was far less than
that possessed by Tilden.-Girard IN

BETTER Than CAlOMEl
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the SUBJ
stitute for calomel-are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit of DR.. Edwards determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no bad
after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Caiomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel ''loggy" and
'heavy." Note how they "clear" clouded
brain and how they "perk up" the spir-
its. 1Oc and Csc box. All druggists.

Alaska.

Alaska is an outlying possession.
Seward bought it Of Russia in 1867 for
$7,2OO,OOO. He and it became a ma
uonal joke for that generation, and ex-
cept for Stewards icebox" it attracted
but little attention. Having more than
half million square miles in area, it
is more than ten times larger than any
state east of the Mississippi and con.
tains mountain systems, valleys ard
mighty rivers. Switzerland could be
lost around the base of Mount McKin-
ley. It is only since Klondike days
that Alaska has at all heep taken seri-
ously, and even from that date the de-
velopment has come slowly. But Alas
ka has only been scratched. Alaska is
the biggest prize in the Pacific ocean,
its material possibilities are illimitable.
and we are permitting it to stand ut
terly unprotected when with only q
little care on our part it could be made
egnable.-Century.
