HEIGHT OF RAILWAY EFFICIENCY

While the remarkable increase IN railway
efficiency has attracted more attention since the
United States entered the war than it did be-
fore, II is not fair to charge the carrying com
panies with having neglected their opportunl-
ties until a national emergency forced the
adoption of improved methods in freight hand
ling. 1t is true that the war has been factor
development as satisfactory to the public as
it is profitable TO the roads, but as is shown by
figures printed in the Railway Age Gazette,
this is because of opportunity to operate the
lines as a single system, and to appeal to indl-
vidual arrangements, employees and patrons, on
patriotic grounds, to cooperate IN increased
efficiency The gain was a matter of record
before this country's entrance into the conflict.
In the fiscal year ended June thirty, 1916, the
roads handled fourteen per cent more freight
traffic with each locomotive and eleven per
cent more traffic with each freight than in
the best previous year, which ended June thir-
t., 1913. The roads are doing their part in
the work of winning the war, and they had
learned the value Of efficient methods before
the government made extraordinary demands
upon them

WHERE DID THEY GET IT?

acv against the draft law gained his liberty pend

note that he was Immediately rearrested

cannot be bailed he is back in Jail Emma Gold
man. anarchist, who was at the same time con-
yicted of the same offense, was also able TO lay
her hands on twenty-five thousand dollars Wlti-
out much trouble or delay, and the interesting
question is where do these persons who wall
about being trampled under the iron heel OF
capitalism get all their money? And there IS
the l. ". W which spends vast sums IN
propaganda work and unknown sums IN finan-
cling crimes and in promoting riots and strikes.
The Chicago office of the organization handled
one hundred thousand dollars in the last eleven
months and the question is where did the mon
ey come FRONT It would hardly seem as though
It's hobo membership of worthless vagabonds
pours such huge sums into the treasury, and
the federal authorities are following clues
which appear to lead to disbursers of German
gold.

Brooklyn Times: 1t took the SUI
preme literary genius of Shakespeare
to create Shylock for the non-Jewish
imagination; it took the splendor Of
American Jewry 10 unmake him, and
expose him TO all the world as a lie
so magnificent that he lorded it for
FIVE centuries, but as lie, neverthe-
less. There are three million people
in America of Jewish origin, accord
ing to John W. Schmidt and Crom-
well Childe, the authors of little
book in which is related the work OF
the joint distribution committee OF
the funds for Jewish war sufferers.
We hao thought there were more.
These three million American Jews
have raised sS,00O,000 for the relief
of their brethren in the war-stricken
lands, and are now engaged in the
work of raising 2 much larger sum.
The story of their energy and deyo-
ton and the wave of pity and char
ity that surged through them like a
mighty flame is written by men who
are not of their race; it is the Cen
tile who stands ar azed at the glory
OF the Jew in this little volume. 1t
is a story that gives you many a
little catch in the throat and many a
leap of the heart and impulse to
jump up and shout your admiration.

THE SPLENDOR OF THE JEW

We read of the little meeting where
they gathered together in New York,
the Jew peddler and tailor, and the
bearded rabbi, and the great masters
of fnane, to hear the story of Rabbi
Magnes, just back from the scenes
of desolation. Il bring you greetings
from the Jewish people about to
die" he said to that little gathering.
Then we read of the meeting in Car
negie hall, where he told them of
the beautiful Jewish girls who died
OF hunger, but kept themselves holy,
and of the three million-dollar con-
tribution made by Jews at that one
meeting. There are great figures
marching through the story, Jacob
Schiff, Oscar Straus, Julius Rosen-
valid, Henry Morganthau, Felix M.
Warburg and many another among
whom we note one whose name has
become a benediction among Jews
and Gentiles, Nathan Straus, the
giver The great-hearted philanthro-
pist, whose first benefaction of note
was the saving of the lives of babies,
and who now is selling the house
from over his honored head for the
sake of his country and it's people.
Shylock, the usurer, will live, of
course. but Shylock the Jew is dead
forever.

TOMMY HALLS u.
S. PAL AS TEDDY"
British Soldiers Have Selected Their
Own Name for American
Companions in
Arms.

When American troops were sent
to France, civilians at home coined
the name "sammies" for them. From
press reports this was without their
knowledge and made them Disguised
when they heard of it.
At the presnt time no name has
been selected that has been accept
able to all sides But when the
American troops marched through
London the English tommies chose
their own term for the Yankees and
no doubt will cling to it for good.
The following from the London
Chronicle tells of the birth Of this
nickname:
The American soldiers realized the
minute they set foot in these isles
that sooner or later a nickname would
be found for them. What they were
to be called not one of them could
guess. but Immediately they mingled
with the British "tommies" their title
was not long in doubt The "Teddies"
is the name our soldiers have chosen
for their new allies, and they would
have had difficulty in finding one
more appropriate, for 1t is to it's
sporting ex-president" that the
American army always turns. Oven
our officers have caught the name,
and yesterday two Of our flying men
were overheard referring to the Tied.
DIV officers"

SOLDIERS INSURANCE.

The world does move. When was there ever
another war in which nation sold insurance
10 It's defenders at nominal price they could
easily afford out of their pay7 The federal in
surance measure in It's present tentative form
permits our soldiers and sailors to buy insur-
ance up to FIVE thousand dollars at eight dol
lars per thousand a year. The life insurance
companies appear not to approve Of this The
grounds of their objection not entirely clear,
bat there is reason for suspecting that they are
not wholly pleased to see the government write
insurance for price so low as to make their
premiums look exhorbitant.
The companies had their chance to go into
the soldier insurance business but declined it,
apparently because they thought the risk too
great. At any rate, one high insurance official
was quoted as saying that if the companies I'M
dertook it the entire mortality cost would
have to come out Of the premiums of the SOL
diers insured and no part of it out of the funds
Of the present policyholders This would have
made the premiums so high as to be out of
question and the government thought it bet
ter to DO the insuring itself.
II is not q money-rnaking project and the
cost to the nation will no doubt be immense.
But what it costs the country to insure its sol
diers viii be saved in PENSIONS and probably a
great deal more.

eroeers and the New Taxes.

Cedar Rapids Republican: There
have been some misunderstanding
about a recent circular from the
government sent to grocers and
allied dealers, requesting them TO list
ltnei- stocks on hand This is taken
by many to mean that they are being
listed for purposes of taxation, but
such is not the case. The informa-
ton asked for is simply to enable
the government to make an estimate
of how much of each kind of food
stuffs there is in the country. It Is
in the nature of an Informative sur
vey and it is being conducted, we
believe, under the department of
agriculture. The grocers who re-
ceive such requests should have no
hesitation in reporting and they need
live in no fear of the federal tax col
lector in consequence of such re-
ports.
Under the new tax law about the
only thing that the grocers will have
10 act upon is tobacco and all goods
made out of tobacco. There will be
an extra tax on these and it will be
levied on all the stock that dealer
has on hand. AS soon as the tax bill
now pending has been passed by both
houses and on the day it is signed by
the president and thereby becomes a
law. on that day each dealer should
make a list Of all tobaccoes, cigars,
chewing tobacco and everything in
the way of tobacco that he has on
hand and having made out such list
he should file it ready to be turned
over TO the government, internal
revenue collectors, and special agents
Of the goyernm ent, we believe, are
then to arrange for the collection OF
taxes on such listed goods.
That we believe Is the only require
ment that is made on grocers and
dealers, under the new tax law This
statement is made in response to
many inquiries received.

BRAN MASH
KILLS EN-
Grasshoppere Fail to Survive When
Doctored Food is Put
Within Their
Reach.

Thirty-three grasshoppers found
dead in one square foot-thats the
record from use of the bran mash
poison on the pesky insects near Ira
err. The counting was done by rep
resentative from the entomology sec
ton of the Iowa experiment station
who has been on the warpath against
the hopers since they invaded Iowa
some weeks ago.
The mixture used was one of TWEEN
ty-five pounds wheat bran, l pound
paris green or white arsenic, six fine
ly chopped oranges or lemons, two
quarts of low grade molasses and four
gallons of water. The bran was mixed
with the poison in a box with hoe.
The molasses was dissolved in wa
ter. lemons or oranges were added
and the product mixed with the bran
and poison.
This poison should be distributed
in small quantities where the grass
hoppers are abundant. It is best ap-
piled late in the afternoon or very
early in the morning. To be elective
the mixture must be moist. 1t does
not attract grasshoppers after becom-
ing dry.
Reports from many sections of
Iowa show that the grasshoppers are
still quite on the job. In many places
they have kept the clover and alfalfa
down SO that 1t has been unable to

POLICY. not PRINCIPLE,

In the days before the var when the British
militant suffragists we're 50 perniciousIy ac-
tive Dr. Anna Shaw was quoted as declaring
that ''Tle time has come 10 introduce some Of
these methods into our work in America -
But when the white house picketers did begin
to introduce them it soon became apparent to
Miss Shaw that their activities were disgust
ing and antagonizing public sentiment and she
thereupon wrote not long ago that "ninety per
cent. OF loyal active suffragists deplore the
plcketng as injurious to the best interests Of
suffrage and as delaying instead Of fastening
the passage OF an amendment to the national
constitutions
1t will not escape attention that whenever
Dr. Shaw or any other of the more co1gorva-
tive suffrage leaders has condemned or de-
plored the sensational methods Of tho militant
wing it has been because their action rras i,o,,o
