BRAINS vs..
Drawn
(By j. Louis EngdahD

w nat Will you 90 Wlln lnc
brainy men under Socialism ?" is
the question often asked by the
skeptic and the unbeliever.
BY "brainy men" is unusually
meant the men on top, the so
called wizards of industry" the
"monarchs of finance" the "kings"
of steel, sugar, coal, copper, rail
roads, ships, food, etc, etc.
Director General of the Rail
ways McAdoo has just answered
this question. He has decided
to fire" the brains" The
startling information comes that
he has removed all the railway
presidents in the country from
their jobs.
This is terrible, of course, ter
rible for the railway presidents
with soft snaps and fat salaries.
1t is not terrible for the really
brainy railway presidents. Nc
Adoo is planning to keep these on
he job for Uncle Sam. But it
is doubtful whether he will find
very many of them.
1t is declared that McAdoo is
dissatisfied with the work per-
formed by the railroad presidents
and he will discharge a large
number of them, many with high
salaries.
This is the worst slap in the
face that the "brainy man" theory
has received in all its history. 1t
proves what Socialists have al
ways contended, that the man
down near the bottom of the lad
der, the inconspicuous worker, is
the brains and backbone of in
dustry.
The imam at the top" has ceas-
ed to be a producer, an organizer
or director of industry. He usual
ly has other qualifications if he
is not an out-and-out pensioner.
He devotes his brains, if he has
any, to looting a railroad, if he
is in the transportation business.
The story of railroad looting pres
idents has been written big in the
work of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the federal court
receiverships.
On some railroads the presi-
dent may be qualified as
wrecker of organized labor, at
creating divisions and chaos in
the ranks of the workers. Or he
may be an adept at watering the
stock of his road to the tune of
many millions. These are the
parasites hit by McAdoo's order.
McAdoo has provided for the
railroad stockholders who still be-
lieve in the great man, brainy
man" idea
If the stockholders of any rail-
road feel that their "high sal
aried president" has been unjust
ly dealt with they may still re-
tain him; but they must pay him
out of the profits guaranteed by
the government. They cannot
:harge his "high salary" up to
operating expenses. They must
keep him as luxury"
If the far famed and well adj
Jertised railroad kings" of
America. therefore, are unable to
ret employment from Uncle Sam,
and if the stockholders refuse to
keep them as Injuries, they must
look for other jobs.
This certainly is smashing to
5mithereens one of the strongest
pillars upholding the crumbling
profit system.
Charles w. Huntington, presi-
dent and general manager of the
Virginian railway, was the first
to go. This railroad king"

Allies Advance BY Leaps. ~~

Washington, Nov. 1.-Oficial Rome
dispatches today describing the vic
torious sweep of Italians and Allied
armies that is demolishing the Aus
trian front, say the lines are moving
forward in such great leaps that it no
longer is possible to identify towns re-
taken or to count prisoners and guns
captured or Italians liberated.
Sixty thousand Italians held by the
enemy to work on defenses in occu-
pied territory have been released.
With the Austrians everywhere in
flight and the italian armies on two
wings about to unite, it is said to he
impossible to foresee where the few

date for congress- 1t is not necessary
for me to say much for that candi-

terms as mayor of this city he has

and if elected to Congress his qualif-
cations are such that you may be sure
he will look after your interests.
The democrats have said much re-
garding the support given the presi-
dent by the democratic congressman,
but l want to say that on eight or nine
important war measures the republi-
can congressman supported the presi-
dent even better than the members of
his own party. If You want to back
up the president, if you want to back
him up on war measures, If you want
to back him up on unconditional sur
render, vote for George A. Quigley."
