GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF RAILROADS

The most radical war move yet made in America was
consummated at today when the United States gov
ernment took over all the railroads True the govern
ment does not ownership and satisfied for the
present with only their control and direction but may
be the first step to government ownership which is at
least possibility following government control Much
will depend results of government operation and
the plan to be to leave the roads under their pres
ent management far the actual operating of them is
concerned the change should not make any great differ
ence in revenues expenses 1t should however, do
away with all favortsm in the distribution Of cars and
this should help the Northwest especially Oregon which
has been almost criminally Disseminated against Of
such things needed to carry the will
get first chance all roads, but after that there should
be fair division of cars, and above all the government
should stop at all using of for warehouses.
The roads have done this but perhaps it the
fault of the laws much Of the companies for the
demurage system calculated for the benefit of just
the class of persons who took advantage of it. The bust
ness hog who placed his selfish interests above everything
else and deliberately held up for weeks by paying
demage charges must be kicked out of the trough and
this be done by the where the roads
poweress If it is done the shortage will be greatly
reduced if not entirely eliminated 1t is up to Nc
Adoo to straghten out the transportation tanges If he
succeeds the change will be of inestmabe benefit if he
falls down it will be perhaps only because he does not rely
fully enough the present heads Of the roads I'm
doubtedy they operate their roads better than any
government official to the ob and wise supervis
ion is all that is necessary.

NO PEACE WITH PRUssIANISM

Germany wants peace and she wants 1t badly, but sne

and for Germany Such peace as is proposed IS SIMPLY
srendelng Of all rights Of others to Germany Shoud
her terms be accepted it would that the allies would
have to abandon all territory gained by them IN Mesopo
tamia and return Jerusalem and the holy land to the
Turks This will never be done. Germany wants this
because it would still leave her dream OF railroad from
Berlin to Bagdad possible Of realization 1t would leave
the Balkans in such shape that Germany could at once
begin intriguing for arranging conditions there SO she
would have route ope nthrough Austrian and Balkan
territory to the Turkish borders and through turkey TO
Bagdad 1t would mean this mo annexatlons and no
ndemntes" that Germany would not have to make any
reparaon Belgium for her wicked devastation OF that
country and the crimes against its inhabitants For the
allies to consent to such peace would be coWardy sur
render of every principle for which they have been gh-
ing 1t would be ofense against humanity and CRIME
against Belgium, whose grand people stood between
civilization and chaos checked the German hOrdeS ana
allowed France time to herself and the world.
Belgium saved the world from ruin and devastation and
from falling back into the dark ages Whatever the out

and on top of it all the great thing which alone will
Justify any peace the removal of the Hohenzolens from
all power forever The world cannot fight this terrible
conflict over and any peace that leaves the Prssian
mtarsm in power means that sooner or later the whole
dreadful conflict will have to be fought out again 1t will

LIBERAL AS ANYTHING.

(Translated from the Russian)

pounded Yoodavitch Bombski on the

to the Bolsterkeevi party and consider
yourself a liberal! Man, you re way

"Splish unnerplinth soofith," " Sounds

who really needed a new overcoat very
badly. But at the very first meeting
of the Pookerseewi Is he found himself
the last man there, and not an over
coat left, not even his own.
So Yoodavitch Bomsl1i became an ul-

WAR MAKES MEN EPILEPTIC
And Others lnvalided From the
Trenches Are Constantly Haunt
ed by Fear.

Some of the effects of warfare on
man-effects which usually are not
given wide publicity, are revealed in
an appeal in the London Times by
Lieut.. Col. Sir John Collie for the es-
tablishment of an institution where the
tangled nerves of war-shaken men may
again become normal. Sir John wants
to place these victims in home in the
country where quiet may be able to
overcome their Authorizations.
"Men do not suffer in the same way
as the lower animals" he says. For
instance, many men invaded out Of
the service are haunted by an appre-
hension of CONSUMPTION"
The men fear that they will have to
90 back and face the enemy. Their
brains are clouded and they do not
realize that they cannot again be
called upon to serve. So they live in
constant fear.
Another distressing result Of trench
warfare is the comparatively large
number of men returning from the
front who suffer from epilepsy and
hysteroepilepsy. Much of the epilepsy
is due to injury, the doctors say, and
the hysterOepilepsy is laid to the stress
the men are under at the front.
So many of these epileptics have ap-
peared since the war began that plans
for a farm colony for the incurables
among them are being made.

DRIVEN FROM THEIR COUNTRY
of Many lrishmen Forsaking
Their Own Soil.

Some writer has said "that during
the eighteenth century in Ireland the
chief social feature was political op-
preston and emigration" The treaty
of Limerick was signed October 3,
1901, but despite the protests of King
William, who was apparently a brave
soldier and an able statesman, the
treaty was soon ignored as a mere
scrap of paper. The odious, barbarous,
prescriptive legislation known as the
penal code was in full swing shortly
after 100, and large contingents, rep
resenting the flower of Irish manhood
and chivalry, began to fly to the con-
tinent of Europe and the shores of
America. These unhappy children of
10, maddened by the English gadfly,
fled into all lands, carrying with them
a memory that enabled them to recog1
nize the gadfiy wherever encountered,
and spirit that prompted them to
swat it remorselessy whenever 1t
crossed their path.

Lucky Four-Leaf Glover.

1t is difficult to say what was the
original shamrock, trefoil or Herb
Trinity. The leaf now recognized as
the national emblem is that Of the
white clover, but the name shamrock
is generic and is applied also to the
purple clover, the speedwell, the PIN
pernel and to the wood sorrel.
The clover of two or four leaves was
held sacred in the festivals of the
Greeks. The one Of four leaves, when
carried about, is supposed to insure
success at play and confer the power
of detecting evil spirits. The lover
may put it under his pillow and he
will dream of his beloved, or the maid
en- may slip it into her sweetheart's
shoe without his knowledge and it
will insure his safe return from any
journey. 1t may be employed to pre-
vent the wearer's being drawn into
military service, is said to be cure
for lunacy, and is still, among the
Irish, regarded as magical, even sacred.
Snakes dislike it exceedingly and will
not remain where it is growing.

IRISH LOVE OF EQUALITY
In Some Ways 1t Has Tended to Pre-.
vent a Closer Unification of
the Great Race.

The art and literature of the Celt
naturally is pure, noble, moral, re-
fined and idealistic. Besides, his love
of equality has leveling effect, and
a tendency to uniformity of social and
economic ideals. This love of equal
ity has, however, prevented closer
unification of the Irish race in matters
vital to it's independence as separ-
ate and distinct people. Their sensi-
tiveness, it must be admitted, is the
real reason why, Notwithstanding their
acknowledged valOr, they lost their in
dependence; and mainly because of
this natural instinct, they cannot and
never could accept conquerors or mas
tiers with that humility that would
have lulled suspicion and created a
new starting point for successful
dash and break for independence.
This sensitiveness absolutely prevents
forgetfulness, and the hatred engen-
dered by centuries of persecution can
not be dulled or dispelled by promises

With the Fingers!
Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind Of corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
will apply on the corn a few drops of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
At little cost one can get a small bot
tie of freezone at any drug store, which
will positively rid ones feet of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
ness or the danger of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound,
and dries the moment 1t is applied and
does not inf1ame or even irritate the
surrounding skin. Just think! You
can lift off your corns and calluses
now without q bit Of pain or soreness.
If your druggist hasn't freezone he can
easily get a small bottle for you from
his wholesale drug house.-adv.

QUAINT BELIEFS IN IRELAND
leprechaun and Banshee Have Been
Recognized Constitutions" of En-
eraId Isle for Centuries.

The two preternatural beings most
spoken about in Ireland are the lepre-
chaun and the banshee. The lepre-
chaun is only the artisan of the
fairies. But he knows where their
crooks of gold are hidden. He is
very little fellow, and he is always en-
gagged in his trade of shoemaking. 1t
you are near "rath" or an old castle
you may hear the sound of his ham,
mering. If you discover the fellow,
draw close to him without making a
sound that would betray you. If you
are lucky you may be able to take
him in your grasp. Then ask him
where those crooks Of gold are hid
den. Insist upon his telling you. and
do not let your mind be dissipated by
his excuses. But in the end he will
cheat you. He will say or do some
thing that will distract your attention,
and when you look again the lepre-
chaun will have disappeared.

Plucky Danish CAPTAIN.

A hero in every sense of the word
is the captain of the Danish steamer
Iris which, sailing from one neutral
port to another and having no contra
band aboard, was halted by German
submarine and the crew ordered to
leave the ship, in order that it might
be sunk. The Danish captain fatty
refused to leave his ship. "You may
sink us, but and my men will remain
on board" he told the submarine COM
mander And his pluck won. His ship
was allowed to proceed when it was
seen that he knew his rights and was
not afraid to assert them.
