TIE RAILROAD PROBLEM.


In his message to congress, the
president made it very clear that he
is not an advocate, at this time. of
government ownership OF railroads.
Chat his party may become such
advocate, is hardly likely The south
is conservative and the railroads still
have great influence there in the
nomination of candidates at the pri-
maries.
Also the example Of government
operation of railroads through which
the country is now going has not en-.
deared it to the people That it was
necessary for unification of control,
we have no doubt The interstate
commerce laws hampered the COM
panies to such a degree that capital
could not be secured for betterments.
Also the law prohibited pooling OF
tracks and rolling stock where it
could be shown that such pooling was
destructive of competition. Even
when acting under instructions from
the war council, roads were warned
by the United States attorney @eneral
that they must no. violate TIE law,
Then the president ordered them
taken over as a war measure.
The administration Of Director Cen
eral McAdoo was probably as able as
cauld have been given by any man
in America. But II was not popular,
because it cost so much more to the
travelling and shipping pubic than
formerly and the service was not so
efficient
Also let it be understood That the
forty per cent increase in cost to the
public was not a producer of revenues
FOR carrying on the wa. The cost
was enormously increased in order
that the government might be saved

NOT RULE BY TIE PEOPLE.


Richard Mueller, chief of the Ger
man Soldiers and Workmen's coun-
ell, says:
I'VE don't want democratic re-
public. We want socialistic, nay a
proletarian, republic. Enough has
been said"
These men mean, as Haywood of
the |. w. W. meant, that government
shall be of one class. and that the
most ignorant class of the whole
world-men who have saved nothing
for themselves who recognize no
binding family ties who recognize no
rulership of God, who desire that they
shall take over and use for themselves
the things other people have earned.
President Wilson declared the pur-
pose Of the United States in entering
the war was to "make the world safe
for democracy But the Bolshevsts of
Russia. Germany and the United
States want no democracy; they want
rule by a class, by those who not only
have no property but who want all
property owned in common.
These modern proletarians repre-
sent no considerable portion of the
working class of any country. They
may better be described as riff-raff.
Mostly they have been frequenters of
saloons and dives, and have resented
the fact that now and then they had
to work for bread and lodging.
They do not build homes; they do
not want the responsibility of sup
porting families; they would not have
wife and children to hamper them;
the harlot satisfies their lust and they
would have the state rear all children.
Who would pay the taxes they never
state in their literature.
What the modern proletarian wants
is a world in which one person is not
more respectable than another, where
morality would be regarded as brand
ing man or woman as an enemy
worthy OF death.
In Russia a wholesale, slaughter of
all the people who had acquired prop
erty was planned. and some thousands
of them were actually butchered,
though the signing of the armistice
prevented the enactment of an en-
Iarged ST. Bartholemew's.
President Wilson, speaking for the
American people, demands that the
world be made safe for democracy.
Democracy means rule of the people,
for the people and by the people; not
rule of a certain class OF the people.

VACCINATION AND Flu.

There has been an increase in the
number of flu cases reported. but
there is no reason yet to believe that
that flare-up is due to lifting the
quarantine That may be shown
later.
The Journal wants TO again cmpha-
size the necessity for vaccination as
preventive.
While sufficient data has not been
tabulated for accurate judgment suf-
flee it to say that only a very small
percentage of those vaccinated take
flu, and those who do take it have
it in light form. as a rule.
But the most important vaccination,
beyond doubt is that against pneu-
monia.
Pneumonia, year in and year out.
is the most fatal disease known to the
American people. DR. Evans of Chi
cago than whom there is probably no
better authority, says that not more
than one person in two hundred dies
from the flu, when pneumonia does
not set in
But more than twenty-five persons
in every hundred die when pneumonia
develops.
More than two years ago an English
physician, connected with the British
army in Africa, developed pneu-
monia vaccine which is now being
generally used by the United States
army
One or more physicians in Albu-
querque now have that Vaccine. It
has been demonstrated, Dr. Evans
says, that this vaccine is effective
against pneumonia for eight months
There is no danger from its use and
the cost is nothing compared with the
insurance it gives.
The eight months one is rendered
practically immune from pneumonia
covers the months of greatest danger
just ahead of us, December, January,
February and March
Because of the flu, when it is pre-
ventable by vaccination, probably, and
because the death rate from it is rem
dered nearly nothing by vaccination
against pneumonia, this city should
not be again subjected to quarantine,
which, unless we make the quaran-
tine so rigid that people be not al
lowed to leave the trains here, may be
continued for two or .hree years.
The Journal is not advocating COM
pulsory vaccination but il 1oes be-
lieye that when the advantages Of
vaccination against pneumonia have
been generally understood there
should be no quarantine for the pro-
lection of these people who are so
careless or SO skeptical as to refuse
to employ it,

that these are firmly established legal
principles, but, as a matter of fact
they are not set forth in any of our

FIRST BRITISH
ARMY IN FRANCE
IN TWELVE DAYS
Speed Within Which Great
Britain Modified Her Forces
Is Revealed to the World
For First Time

Copyright, 1918. by The Press Publish

Especial Cable Dispatch to The World
and Albuquerque Journal)
London, Dec. An speech at
Bedford college tonight. Lord Hal
dane gave the history of the British
and French conversation in 1906,
when there was fear of an attack on
France by Germany. on that occa-
sion the French said in effect, ac-
cording to Lord Haldane.
IF you feel it to be to your interest
to come to our assistance in order
to prevent the invasion Of Northern
France by Germany, is it not adj
visable that your military authorities
and ours should have full eonversa
tons, without binding any one, but
with the view of determining the ex-
tent of the military assistance you
can give?
Informal and unbinding CONVEX
sations were initiated at once and it
was decided that the function of any
British army might be to supplement
the great French army with a force
strong enough to hold the Germans
should they fry to break through
some parts Of Belgium.
THE French thought at that time
that If we could contribute $1,000
men, capable of concentrating on
their left within fifteen days of the
outbreak of the war. that would be
enough to enable them to hold their
position.
I'VE found all we could concentrate
would l<be $4,000 men, and it would
take us at least two and one -half
months to assemble that number The
French said to us;
But we would be dead before you
came and they were right"
Passing to the British preparations
for the war, more than four years
ago, Lord Haldane said:
1--WE had to make a revolution in
our military arrangements, and it was
made under the guidance Of Sir
Douglas Haig and a number Of other
officers.
an the end, so per cent was added
to the French estimate, and we put
not 100000 but 100000 in the field,
and not in fifteen days but in twelve.
We modified in August, 1914, thirty
six hours before we declared war.
Within few hours after the declara-
ton of war, our eXpeditionary force
was across the channel, before any
body knew it,"

WONDERFUL STRENGTH OF
SPIDERS
New York Mail.

The amazing strength of spiders is
shown in a number of well anthem
ticated instances. Thus we have an
instance of half inch spider catch
ing a two inch fish. 1t was of the
ground or wolf family. A scientist
came upon it struggling with fish
on the edge of a little pool. It's
claws We're buried in the fish's tail;
it had the tail out Of the water, but
the head still remained underneath.
The spider struggled to pull the fish
UP the bank and the fish struggled
desperately to draw the spider into
the pool. For ten minutes the
scientist watched this silent and
deadly fight. Then he hurried away
fir a bottle in which to put the COM
batants when he captured them. He
was gone about half aR hour, and
on his return the end had come. The
fish was dead and the spider was
slowly dragging its victim away.

1T PUTS THE "PEP"
Into Pcptiron-The Combination of
pepsin, Nux, Iron, Celery.

This is what makes Peptiron of
wonderful therapeutic value, and so
successful after Influenza, the grip
and in blood and nerve troubles, ane-
mia, paleness, nervous weakness and
the exhausting worry and anxiety
over the world war.
1t is real iron blood and nerve
tonic, especially beneficial in the
weakness following the influenza and
grip, to worn-out, brain-fagged men,
delicate woman, school-tired girls and
to fast-growing boys, invalids and
convalescents, the aged and infirm.
1t actually puts iron, a natural
strengthener, into the blood, and re-
stores the wasted red corpuscles.
Your druggist knows its great merit.
