manufacture of beer three months
after the bill becomes law.
Provision for the expectation of

If this law had been in force since
the day of Columbus first came in
sight of this country, times would
have Been several hundred per cent
better. Our very careless way Of
living and perfunctory way of liv-
ing has gotten us into a peck OF

so long that they will be like chick

body and no time should be lost in
getting busy and staying busy. The
fact is, many man who goes to
work viii find that it is SO much bet
ter than being idle that he will feel
like having an apology printed in the
newspapers for ever having been
idle for a single moment. He will
stay on the job and become better
and more useful citizen, and besides
he viii make money and money
makes' a fellow feel better. There
is no harm in the work or fight rule.
It is a pity that it becomes necessary
to. enforce a rule of this kind at a
time like this, in a country like this

GOVERNMENT RAILROAD
ADMINISTRATION

The general policy and purposes OF
the railroads administration as an
nounced by Director General Nc
Adoo may be briefly summarized as
follows:
First, the winning of the war, to
which everything must be subordi-
mated; second, the service of the pub
lie, which means maintenance and
Improvement of railroad properties
so as to provide safe and adequate
TRANSPORTATION facilities at lowest
cost; third, the promotion of smy-
patty, understanding, and co-opera-
ton between the administration and
the 1000, 900 railroad employees and
the 100000 patrons, which lat
ter includes every individual in the
nation; fourth, the application OF
sound economies, including elimina-
ton of superfous expenditures, pay
ment of just wages and just and
prompt compensation for injuries,
economical purchase OF material and
equipment, adoption Of standardized
equipment and approved devices for
saving life and labor, economic rout-
ing Of freight and passenger traffic,
intensive employment Of all equip
ment. and careful record and scien-
tifc study to secure the greatest
efficiency.
The Director General states that
while the development of this policy
requires time, great progress has
ben made toward the desired goal.
He commends heartily intelligence
public spirit, loyalty, and enthusiasm
of the members of the railroad adj
ministration and the officers and en-
ployees of the railways.

states that the council has the matter
in hand and will take ACTION.
The traffic matter has been allow
ed to go as it would for so long, that
ACTION is certainly necessary.
The night after the last automobile
accident, car turned the corner of
Vienna street and Railroad avenue
at a speed of thirty-five to forty
miles an hour. Speeding does not
seem to be reduced anywhere. 1t is
seen, but no one wants to make a
report.
What Ruston will have to have
is sufficient police force to handle the
situation and enforce the speed law.
A mounted cop, on a motorcycle, if
he is made of the right kind of ma
terial, will surprise more speeders
than you can count.
He ought to bring in enough
speeders the first month to reim-
burse the city for the cost of the
motorcycle and pay his own salary,
besides.
ACTION is what Ruston wants
