Tut through it all we must net
lose our grasp upon the hopes OF fr,-
ture years. Our country is the first
successful experiment in democracy,
as the Jews We're Gods CHOSEN peO
pie to reveal the eternal and divine
truth to every man that government
can only derive it's just powers from
he governed. Already they have
transmitted the message of Wood

and into Slav and are placing it in
the hands of every Russian peasant
in the fields and every Russian SOL
der in the trenches, the Goddess Of
America is holding high the torch
of Liberty and its rays are pene-
trating te furthermost parts Of earth.
We must pledge ourselves that the
future shall see our country the
foremost land Of all the earth. We
must pledge ourselves that the world
shall be placed where thrones have
crumbled and where kings are dust.
We must pledge ourselves that peace
adorned with every form Of art shall
reign supreme, while lips are rich
with words Of love and truth; where
labor reaps its full reward and every
man is freed from every shackle OF
time and place and circumstance.
Only thus can we truly commemo-
rate the birth Of
"Your flag and my flag
And, oh, how much it holds!
Your land and my land !
Secure within it's folds.
The one flag the great flag!
The flag for me and you!

gress, recommended either govern ment operation or repeal of anti trust laws and Federal Trade Com missioner McChord, in a supplemental report, declared for outright govern ment control as the only solution. Many congressional leaders recently concurred in this opinion.
 The presidents statement made | clear that his decision was not due to any failure of the roads to per form their duty as we'll as they could under present legal restrictions and the real reason for the plan of gov ernment operation was to permit com- plete unification of rail systems im- possible through private operation by statutes prohibiting pooling of traffic and earnings
 The committee of railroad execu- tives," his statement said, "have done the utmost that was possible for them the railroad brotherhoods for 8 forty per cent. advance in wages call for answer by the railroads on or before Dec. 31, and it is expected that the railroads will leave decision in this matter to the government.
 President Wilson planned to confer with the railroad brotherhood chiefs today and the heads of the four or ganizations indicated that further de- tails of the scheme of government control as far as 1t affects pending wage controversies probably will be discussed. to do In mere fairness to them the full authority of the government must be substituted"
 Although electric lines engaged in general transportation are included in the proclamation street railways and interurban lines are specifically ex- cluded with the reservation that sim liar action in their cases may be taken later if deemed necessary.
 The Interstate Commerce Commis- sion and other government and state agencies which have to do with rail- roads will continue to perform their function under the new plan except that they will be subject to order of the railroad director. Railroads still will apply to the commission for changes in rates and practices.
 Early decision in tho application of eastern and western roads for a IS per cent. advance in freight rates pending before the commission now is expected. The commission is con- sidering application of the express companies for a ten per cent. in- crease and as the proclamation failed to mention express companies spe- officially some doubt was felt as to whether they were included in the order. The proclamation said:
 Every system of transportation and appurtenences thereof" however and this was generally interpreted as including the express companies.
 Although the plan of control is not outlined in detail 1t was the opinion that the British system would be fol- lowed closely except in the matter of paying for government freight. In England the government freight is carried free and the guaranteed earn ings require great amount of money for government funds, while the United States will pay it's freight and stand increases if they are found necessary.
 Railroad experts estimate that the government to guarantee earning equivalent to average net operation income of the last three years will cost tho government about 31oo.ooo,- l 900 next year. which can be raised by l

Officials OF. the administration frank
~ are gratified over the tone OF the

endorsement of the presidents sugges-

no formal statement on the subject is

The reference in the British note to
