: But there is another congress coming in on
March 4, when it should and probably must be
called into action. And that is the congress
which, Mr.. McAdoo seems to have forgotten,
was chosen deliberately as reconstruction
congress and charged by the country with the
responsibility of solving this and all other prob
lens bearing upon readjustment. If it should
fail to straighten out the railroads within the
allotted time, neither Mr.. McAdoo nor the presi-
dent nor the democratic party can be held in
fault. The blame will rest squarely upon the
republican party. Why not leave it there?
There is no better place in sight Nor is there
anything more certain than that, if the repub-
lican party cannot re-establish the railroads
upon sound basis in two years, it cannot in
five.
What we chiefly object to in Mr.. McAdoo's
scheme is the same old pern:cous thing of
perpetuating war measure to engraft upon the
country policy which the people have never
passed upon. He wants five years of expert
mentation-in what? In anything to do with
war? Not at all. In government operation
in government ownership to all ntents; in gov
eminent socialism in effect And the wicked

the frst thing OF this kind that has

that America is deeply in the war,

that this one is. They don't want
your charity-they demand their
chance"
Alice Duer Miller, the novelist,
writing on How Women Can Best
Help" says that practical experience
already has shown that the degree
to which a soldier can recover is in
a large measure a question OF his
state of mind-and his state OF mind
is usually a reflection OF the state OF
mind OF his wife or his mother"
Believe in Future.
''The hope Of his future" she writes,
Ties in making him believe he has a
future. His return to useful activity
depends upon his own conviction that
he can be useful. The instant that
he is content to be an invalid he will
become and remain an invalid. To
prevent his losing hope, to keep up
his sense OF responsibility is in the
power OF his womankind."
Gelet Burgess makes this obserVa-
ton:
Vague promises Of spiritual beneft
are poor consultations for the soldier
who has been diabled in the service
of his country. A real mans ambi-
/ tion needs more fuel than philosophy,
1t needs a dignifed practical field for
endeavor. Many, even most disabled,
men will have a chance to be better
OF, handicapped though they are
after the war than before. Not better
on physically, but actually better on
financially, socially and mentally.
But to bring this blessing about
you, his friends, and relations must
help. By your attitude you can de-
q
respect and usefulness or to fall To
the status of a mere parasite and
object OF pity. All that is necessary
is for you to understand his oppor-
tunity and insist that your boy ayails
himself Of it."
