TIE RAILROAD PROBLEM

The railroad problem becomes more
complicated daily. Mr.. hcAdoo in one
breath admits that government opera
ton of the railroads has not been a
financial success. and in another pleads
FOR I'VE years more trial Of the same
Thing Railroad owners, insofar as they
have expressed themselves. arc against
five years operation by the government
and are equally opposed to the return OF
the railroads TO their ownership unless
returned under conditions that will en-
able them TO operate with some freedom
OF initiative and action. Government
control Of the railroads was war
measure. The purpose was to coordinate
railroad activities so as II handle large
bodies Of IreiSh, and large numbers OF
men expeditiously. It was not proposed
FOR the purpose OF determining either
the efficiency or the wisdom Of govern
ment operation. and at the present time
no one seriously demands Ave year
trial OF government operation in order
10 prove It's merits.
The outstanding facts are that Mr.
NeAdoo has operated the railroads for
. little over L year: that he has sue
eeeded IN creating a public debt OF UP
wards Of nvc hundred million dollars
that he has increased freight and pas,
.cneer charges to the people by prob
ably onc billion dollars more. and The
railroads are in no better shape to han.
IDLE their trade and to meet the require
ments OF the people thar they were IT
,he early part OF 1917. Large sums OF
money have been literally wasted. What
renl advantages have been secured b
,o-.ynnnent operation have been pale
10, many times over. Like all othe'
government activities. Il has BEEN et
travagant in management and nretttar,
IN the treatment Of the public. At tn
earliest possible date a practical rnethot
Of returning the railroads to their own
erS should be worked oat: that mctho<
.toiid take into consideration IN,

has hsiped to create. The great IN.

EVER SAL|VATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!
Calomel is quicksilver and acts
like dynamite on
your liver.

Calomel loses you dayl You
know what calomel is. It's mer-
curry; quicksilver. Calomel is dan
gerous. 1t crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sick
ening you. Calomel attacks the
bones and should never be put into
your system.
When You feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need dose of dangerous
ealomel just remember that your
druggist sells for few cents large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
IS entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is perfect substitute for
calomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes YOU
sick the next day; it loses you a DAYS

Those who knew James Buchanan
best during his lifetime know that
this tragedy saddened all his life.
Let us got at this late hour malign
the memory of man who in his
time was fully abreast with the pub
lie sentiment of his party and a ma
jority of his country, whose social
life was pure, and who ranked as a
peer in intellectual development and
culture with the leading statesmen
of his generation.

charity, and as the only emancipa-
ton prophet of 1859 who was not
mobbed and the only one now liv-

with charity for all, ] propose to vote
for this resolution.
Remarkable Career of Buchanan
By Congressman Robbins Of Penn
sylvania.
The career of James Buchanan is
withour parallel in American pub
lie life. Born of poor and humble
parents in the mountains of Frank
lin County Pa, April %, 1871, he
taught school and educated himself
in large measure. He became a
member of the Lancaster Couny Pa
bar and was elected to the Pennsyl
vania Legislature in 1914. He was
Member Of Congress from 1920 to
1880 and became one of the most
distinguished members and was fol
years chairman Of the great Judiciary
Committe. From 1880 to 1884 he
was minister to Russia. From 1884
to 1915 he was United States sena-
tor from Pennsylvania. From 1916
to 1S49 he was Secretary of State il
the Cabinet Of President Polk. From
1852 to 1854 he was minister to the
Court of st. James at London, Eng
land, and in 1856 he was elected the
fifteenth President OF the United
States from the State of Pennsylvania
Thus for a period of So years, with
the exception of two short breaks,
James Buchanan was in public life
and during this time he filled offices
from the lowest to the highest VII h
signal credit, tact, and ability. Wha

nation affords such opportunity and
shows such accomplishments in one
of its citizens of lowly birth?
