Yesterday representatives Of 115
members of the American Shortline
Railroad Association" appeared be.
fore the Interstate Commer Com
mittee of both House and Senate.
Strong arguments were made in their
behalf. The provisions OF the Posses
sion and Control bill. which may suit
he great trunk lines, would bank
rupt many of the short lines, 1t was
said. In typical cases, it was said
that with operating income less than
4 per cent of the face value of their
bonds, they were being carried
by their creditors in the hope that
they would build up their territory
and so become paying properties
Their future is the most important
part of the making OF Twentieth
Century America. Until We get
ready to build up the country in be-
.geen the trunk lines with autovans,
or something else OF the
Kind, progress depends on a net
york Of connecting short lines more
han on anything else whatever.

Both Mr.. Lever and Mr.. Pomerene
are listed as Democrats. The coinci-
ience of their views is striking. Un-
der these remarkable novelties in un-
democratic American legislation,
any man, woman, or child in the
United States of America, putting
more than one teaspoonful of sugar
in a cup of coffee after being Off
cially "verboten" to do so, would GER
tainly be liable to the seven-year
maximum. Well, why not? But
how can Jail accommodations be -'ro-

A theory publicly discussed in
connection with these bills is that
neither Mr.. Lever nor Mr.. Pomerene
is the real author of either, but that

A squad of United War Workers,
among whom was Merle Chessman,
secretary of the Patriotic Service
League, motored through town
Wednesday in high spirits after an
open air session with one Highly
Harris. 1t seems they were lucky
enough to meet Hig in the road and
that he came through with one
hundred bucks after they had spill
ed a line of earnest and effective
conversation. 1t is said that the
chances are if they had gone to the
house they would have been routed
horse, foot and dragons.
This from the Athena Press re-
minds us that Kernel Poyd himself

made it develops that the club will
soon have good squad to compete
for trophies"

WONDERFUL ORGAN RECITAL
AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
LAST NIGHT.

1t was rather a pity that the organ
| should have behaved badly for the i,,i-
| tial recital of Mr.. Gatty Sellars last
night, but the fact remains that il
did, and this prevented his audience
| from receiving the full benefit OF his
wonderful manipulation Of the instrE-
ment. 1t is hoped, however. that after
| ii has been thoroughly worked on to-
day, the recital tonight will be much
more successful than that of last
night.
The Presbyterian church was filed
at an early hour, there having been
some misunderstanding about the tine
at which the recital was to begin,
and when the famous vrganist final;J
appeared at exactly 8 o'clock, which
was his understanding of the hour,
the feelings Of his audience had been
raised to a high pitch of anticipation.
His selections from Tannhauser, Of
which he played three during the
evening, were decidedly the cream ~
the program, although his renderings
of his own works came a close second.
His descriptive music, of which the
storm piece is considered a splendid
example, has received some very high
praise among musical critics, and i
is understood that he will play this
selection again tonight by special re-
quest.
The Military Fantasia, introducing
as it did the national anthems If
Russia, France, England and America
struck a patriotic chord, which was
quite in accord with the spirit of the
times, and IS another excellent ex
ample OF the organist's power to brin
odd effects from this king of instru-
ments.
The performance tonight will begin
at o'clock, when it Is hoped thar
there will be even a larger audience
than last night, and when the program
will be as follows:
Festival Tocacata-Percy Fletche'.
An Evening Idylle-Gatty Sellars.
The March of Nations-Gatty Sell
lars.
Toccata in D Minor-Bach.
March on a Theme of Handel-Guil-
mant.
In Venice-Gatty Sellars.
Fancies-Gatty SeIlars.
Postlude in D-Henry Smart.
In addition to which the storm piece
will be repeated by request.
