PATRIOTISM THROUGH POULTRY

PATRIOTISM THROUGH POULTRY
The man behind the gun
Will do his part and do it right;
But the man alone behind the gun
Can never win the fight.
Behind the man behind the gun
Men are fighting just as bravely,
Producing all the food they can
For the army and the navy.
The manufactured products are
No less important. Then
We hail the men in overalls
Who are making useful things for
men.
The service of the railroad man
We greet with loud applause,
For carrying products to the front
Is very worthy cause.
The high, the low, the rich and poor
Can each one do great deeds,
Whether fighting on the battle front
Or in the garden pulling weeds.
"Feed or fight" is our motto,
produce more and waste less" our
guide;
Patriotism through production" our
slogan,
Human liberty" our aim and pride,
The poultry business reaches all,
Whether producer or consumer;
Then each and everyone of us
Can help the cause along this sum-
mer.
Increasing the poultry production
Many million dollars, and yet,
To save all that is produced,
Is the goal that we have set.
Then let us work together
In every line of action,
For in doing so we are patriotic
And the result gives satisfaction.
! And when the war is over
And human freedom has been won,
We will all be happy then
| Der the bit that we have done.

come obsessed with the belief that
 banking and stock. jobbing interests
 must be safeguarded in their connec- nection with railroad securities.
 The cpnfirmation / the senate Of i Winthrop II. Daniels IS alleged to be another step in the direction of pro- railroadism by the commission. The result, critics of the commission say, will be to hurry the day of govern ment ownership of railroads.
 There is another side to the contro- versy however, that concerns. the people as well as property. Millions of dollars of savings bank and life in- surance money has been ident fled with the progress of our railroads; i1 fact, railroad bonds used to be fay orite mode Of investment for the mil! Hans of the people in tho stewardship of bankers. The savings of the peo pie must he safeguarded as we'll as their rights against the railroads.
 One criticism against the commits sion seems 10 be sound from every standpoint; there can scarcely ,e room for argument regarding it. This
 is that in the business of hearing complaints it's calendar is as glut- ted almost as that of the United States supreme court I1 other words, the commission is unable to attend to all the business that is accumulating. It is notorious that it sometimes re- qulres years for an important case in the supreme court to dome to de- cision, merely because the members of this court are unable physically to step with the tremendous increase of litigation that comes before it. The commission is getting in the same fix.
 It is important at all hazards that public confidence in the commission be not undermined; and whether CT mot this shall occur depends alto Sether upon the works performed by the commission. If ire commission breaks down, there isn't a railroad man in the country but will admit tfat this means the end of govern ment regulation and that straight out. and-out government ownership is the only other alternative.

There have been bad times in the history of the Missouri Pacific. Ii has suffered the sins of bad ma.age- ment and loose management. It has suffered from too much politics. Ii has suffered rom unfortunate pub licity. It was machine at time when it should have been a railroad Those days happily passed when MT Bush took charge. He aston1she l everybody when he took the lobby away from the state capitals and took the road out of politics. When he began to run the Missouri Pacific ne went out on tho line and ran i;. He president. He has hooked up New Orleans and St. Louis and the hook ing process will continue until ihese great centers really know each other. He will follow his Sunshine Special relations with Texas until that en- pire will know only St. Louis as it's metropolis. He will, if permitted to do so make Denver and Salt Lake and San Francisco better acquainted with what we have hcle in this great central market
 So the receivership termination of the Missouri Pacific means a lot to this city. In our judgment it means the beginning of a new and greater central railroad system than the mid ale West has ever known.--St. Louis Times.

Just six members of the legislatu .e voted with a man named Babb-ought to be babler-from Union to suspend the rules in order to give him oppor- tunity to make further spectacle of himself and chance to display more of his ignorance and prejudice by having inserted in the record an ex- planation of his vote on the "bOne dry' bill. It was mean marrow at- tempt to make charge that Babb would hardly have courage enough to voice in person to any hardy member
 of the denomination against which he is so prejudiced. Be it said to the credit of the legislature that Babb'i
 malicious efforts were promptly squelched.

UNJUST TO MAKE TEST OF
 OPPORTUNITY.

In vetoing for the second time the immigration bill becau1e of the liter acy test provision President Wilson points out that the lneracy test-a test of opportunity as he aptly puts it-is unfair, and not proper one by which to judge the qualifications of an immigrant for citizenship in the land of the free.
 Suppose immigrants had always been subjected to the literacy test, how many of us would be in the United States. To go bit furthef: Suppose the literacy test were made a requirement for residence in the United States; many good people would have to emigrate.
 Some of the best people we know ica closed to them under this pro vision. One man we recall came from Italy. He is yet unable to do more than sign his name. But he has proved his right to citizenship in any land in the world A "seafarin' man he engaged in putting up and taking down and painting big smokestacks and dismanteling factories. He has been successful. He pays his bills is recognized as a man who IS square as die;" a man who Vii not benefit by mean advantage. Mot, than this, he and his kind hearted wife have taken from asylums seven orphans, reared them to womanhool ] and have seen them all married ane in homes of their own. And there was not Ghold in the town where this couple lived who had bettel treatment, better opportunities ol more play pretties" than those lit tie waifs fathered and mothered bS Joe Cafiero and his good wife.
 Because person has not had the opportunity to obtain an education IS no reason he should De excluded from the United States. As the pres: dent says the Opportunity to gain ar education is, in many cases, one Q the chief opportunities sought by tht Immigrant when coming to the Unitef states and surely the congress Q this great nation will not close the door of hope to those ambitious. goo, people who look toward America az as the home of real demod d~acy, o justice and of equal opportunity.

FEE GREAT MiSSAT PACIFIC.

A system of railroad that nteans much to St. Louis and the central! West is about to emerge from the hands of it's capable receiver. The Missouri Pacific, under the broad management of Benjamin F. Bush. has become a great system. If MT. Bush is to succeed to the presidency, which seems but a matter of course, it is fair to assume that he will continue the big work in which he has been so deeply engaged to the end that the Missouri Pacific and the central West will become, each to the other, what has always been meant for them.
