RAILROAD CONTROL AFTER THE WAR.

While some railway executives are repre-
sented in Washington dispatches as believ-
ing that government assumption of control
makes government ownership inevitable, there
is no sound reason for this conclusion. In sup
port of the prediction that change to public
ownership will follow the period OF govern
ment operation, it is said that once the roads
are co-ordinated and operated as one system 1T
will be impossible to so back to the old competl-
tive plan.
But it will be possible to restore the proper
ties to their owners without taking any back
ward step. The government has taken over
the roads as a war measure for the period OF
the war; 1t may be assumed that when this was
done there was no intention to make control
permanent Conditions which made impos-
sible private operation of the transportation
lines in war times were largely of the govern
ment's making. Now the government will
have free hand. Il will not enforce against
itself restrictions that hampered the carriers
under private operation and should have been
removed long ago There will be no return to
the old and now discredited system which de-
MED opportunity to earn fair return on IN
vestment in railroad properties.
If when the war is over it appears that the
has learned the lesson it refused to
learn when the country was at peace and that
it is ready to treat the railroads fairly, there
will be no demand for government ownership.

| tons resulting from recent events as a
matter Of course seriously affected this
source Of supply, and since sulphuric
acid is product nearly as fundamen-
tai to industry as iron or coal, the sit
uation bade fair to assume critical pro-
portions. But it SO happens that crude
sulphur under emergency can also be
used in making sulphuric acid, and ac-
cordingly the gulf sulphur deposits
have come forward to tide over the
dearth of Spanish pyrite until the de-
mestic supplies of pyrite which are
adequate but as yet only in part de-
yeloped, can be brought UP to suit
able measure of productiveness.
There are numerous lean deposits Of
sulphur in many of the western states,
but these as yet have practically no
effect upon the output Of the country
1t is therefore certain that without the
gulf deposits and the ingenious method
of making them available, this country
would have scarcely been able to meet
successfully the war needs of sulphur
and sulphuric acid: which goes to
show, of course, the pressing necessity
for widespread appreciation and un-
derstanding of the Importance of prop
er development of the mineral indus
tries of our nation.

1t is easy and inexpensive to have

If YOU want to prove how pretty

Your hair will be soft, glossy and

BAKERS SOFT SANDER.

Metropolitan Magazine: Only
few days ago Mr.. Baker declared that
no country had done nearly so we'll in
the first nine months Of war as we had.
He must know perfectly well that this
as absolutely untrue. He may remem-
Der that for the first year or two of the
war we were apt to be very superior
about the woeful shortcomings of Great
Britain. England's unpreparedness be-
came byword. Yet within three
weeks of the declaration of war Eng
land put three fully equipped divisions
on the firing line and fought a great
though unsuccessful battle Within
ne months Mr.. Baker has not put
single American division on the firing
! ne; and when our first army does
race the enemy it will be largely equip
ped. by our allies. And England and
france had no warning, while we had
two and a half years of warning. Can
Mr.. Baker really believe that the coun-
try will everlastingly swallow this
sort sawder? Perhaps people cannot
understand technical discussions Of
ordnance, but they can understand re-
suits. Nor are they blind now to the
stupid errors of organization right be-
fore them at home. Great canton
mShCS nave peSH pul1L IN the wrong
places. And men have been hurried
out to them before they were prepar-
ed to receive them. "Reminiscences
and death unknown in the training
camps of England or France Men of
the draft have been taken too soon out
of industrial employment and subject
ed to quite unnecessary insanitary con-
diuons. There was no sense in draft
Ing more men at one time than the
camps could take care of. Mr.. Baker
cannot plead here as an excuse that
he was in haste to get men to the
front. He was in haste about nothing
else; and We have him on record under
his own signature that neither he nor
his advisers had the slightest intention
last April of sending any troops TO
France at all in 1917. So all his haste
about getting the national army into
environments was for shop window pur-
poses; it was only remotely connected
with the real task of getting an armv
equipped and delivered in France. In
every department where haste was
needed Mr.. Baker tolerated intermin-
able delays.

~ AM WITHIN MY RIGHTS"

Des Moines Capital: One-half or
tWo-th1rds of the meanness of the
world is committed by men who de-
clare they are within their rights.
The man who drives the automobile
at the. exact speed fixed by law of
times runs over man or a dog. He
goes right on because he declares he
was within his rights.
The landlord who sets a poor wo-
mans furniture out on the sidewalk
for nonpayment of rent is within his
rights.
The employer who discharges an
employe without notice; the empleye
who quits without notice are. within
their rights
The man who, in passing a neighbor
on the highway in any kind OF a con-
veyance gives one-half the road while
circumstances make 1t impossible for
the other man to give the other halt
is within his rights. though he throN
the other man into the ditch.
The man who is doing some import
ant work. the completion of which ia
absolutely necessary to save that OF
other property, can quit when the day
is legally up and then he would be
within his rights. He could explain
that he could not do otherwise.
When the Germans shot Edith Sa-
veil they claimed to be within their
legal rights.
If every man were determined to
demand his legal rights there would
not be courts enough to hear the
cases. 1t is the man who is technical
ly demanding his rights who supports
the courts and the legal fraternity. :
There is law of humanity which
suggests to men who have souls what
ought to be and what ought not to be.
The world is looking with more ad-
mtration upon the man who volun-
tarily does right than upon the one
who proves he is doing right by law.
An autocracy governs everything
by law; a republic leaves much to com
mon sense and conscience.

THE couNTRY's SULPHUR.

Geological Survey Bulletin: At the
Outbreak of the war in 1914, the Unit
led States was producing each year
about 100000 tons of sulphur, valued
at a little over s6,000,00o. This guam
Itity was sufficient to supply not only
the needs of this country, but contrib
uted about 100000 tons to European
markets. With the development Of
war activities, however, the production
has increased to meet the growing
needs Of munition makers, while the
exports have decreased as result Of
disturbed trade conditions and the
need for building up reserves of this
essential material at home.
1t is a singular fact that the chief
raw materials of explosive manufac-
ture are localized in remarkable man.
ner and sulphur is no exception to this
rule. In the United States practically
the entire supply comes from number
OF deposits in Louisiana and Texas
near the gulf coast, These deposits
are similar in nature and consist of 4
series of beds and lenses of pure sui
phur at a depth of several hundred
feet from the surface.
The discovery of the occurrence of
sulphur of this type was made as far
drilled for oil All attempts at mining
the sulphur failed, however, until some
fifteen years ago, when a highly in
genious method was devised for win
ming this substance without recourse
to the ordinary costly underground
operations usually prosecuted in min
ing. This process makes use of the
fact that sulphus melts at relatively
low temperature. BY drilling a well
through the everything rock until the
sulphur bed is tapped and then sinking
series of interpenetrating pipes
through which the heated steam is
forced, the sulphur is melted and
forced to the surface as a hot liquid,
where it is piped to large bins, into
which 1t pours and cools. This process
which is known as the t'rasch process,
after its inventor, has been described
as one Of the triumphs of modern
technology, and its successful applica-
ton to the gulf coast deposits has in
the past fifteen years transferred the
center of the worlds sulphur industry
from the island of Sicily to the United
states, making our own nation abso-
iutely independent of the rest of the
world in this important particular.
With the development OF the world
war, the sulphur deposits of the gulf
regions have, of course, assumed spe-
c1al importance as supplying the sui
Dhur needed in the manufacture OF
and other explosives BIT
in addition to this, these deposits have
quite unexpectedly during the past few
months been able to meet and solve n
critical resource problem arising ont
OF the submarine campaign. This
problem concerned the raw materials
of the large and very vital sulphurfc-
acid industry, and arose from the fact
that most Of the several million tons
of sulphuric acid used in this country
was made from sulphur bearing min |
eral called pyrfte, brought as ballast |

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

/ Sioux City Journal: The presi
dent Is said to have turned down q
suggestion to include Root, Taft ana
Roosevelt in new war cabinet with
| the statement that not one of those
men would agree with him. The re.
port may be without foundation. Lack
ing verification, it amounts to moth
ing of itself. But it does illustrate,
if not presidential trend Of thought,
at least a general conception or the
presidential trend of thought There
ought to be occasional disagreemenfs
in the cabinet. That is to say, there
ought to be in the cabinet men strong
enough and varied and broad enough
in their intellects to represent dit
fering points of view. For instance,
somebody should have disagreed with
the president in the matter of choos,
