GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF
RAILWAYS.

Already more efficient operation
of the railways taken under control
by the Government has been effected.
Duplication of service, especially CT
passenger service, has been eliminat-
ed, with more freight traffic made pos
sible asa consequence. The common
use of terminals has avoided much
delay and shipment by the most d.
rect routes, instead of by longer
routes designated by shippers or die
tated by the respective railroads in
terests or traffic agreements, has
saved much time In short, conflict
ing corporate interests have been all
subordinated to the one national pur-
pose of rapid and efficient moving OF
traffic, with the result of distinct
speeding up of freight movement.
Government operations will be
more economical. Much duplication
required by competitive operation of
the railroads is rendered unnecessa-
rv and other expenses, too, will be
eliminated.
Director General McAdoo has is
sued an order, General Order No. 6,
forbidding the use of the railroad
revenues for paying agents or other
persons employed in any way to af-
feet legislation, attorneys who are not
actually engaged in the performance
of necessary legal work, the expenses

The value of farm products of the
United States for the year 1917 reach
the tremendous and unprecedented
sum OF SIS, ,44S, $4,000, an increase OF
more than six billions over the values
of 1916 and almost nine billion more
than 1915.
The Department of Agriculture has
just issued preliminary estimate for
last year showing crop values OF
$13, 0,453, 900, representing 70 per
cent of the value of all farm products
for the year, and $5,SS3,3S6,OOO, the
value of animals and animal products
of our farms.
By far the greatest and best Gus
toners of the farmers of the country
now are the United States and our
Allies. The money used by all of
these Governments in purchasing the
products of American farms is raised
by the sale of Liberty Bonds. Part
Is spent by the United States itself
and part loaned to our Allies. In
lending to the United States, there
fore, hte American farmer is simply
enabling its best customers to pur-
chase his products and receiving In
return the best security in the world.
Good business as we'll as patriotism
urges the farmers of America to
literally support the financial under
takings of the Government.

THE PASTOR AND THE HARD

churches, they look out for my wei

the subject. The pastors and the hard
winter there is lonesome saving
among some people, that is they say
preacher will not pay his debts. Did
YOU ever once think how preacher
is paid with few exceptions, he is
the most poorly paid man among
men who labor.
Mr.. Critic listen, if the doctor
| fails to collect his bills he can not
pay his drug account, II the lawyer
cannot collect his fees he can not pay
his debts. If the expressman can
not collect his bills he cannot feed
his horse, so how do you expect a
preacher to pay his bills when the
church will not pay him, with few
exceptions. Every debt is more inn
portant with some churchfolks than
the pastors dues. They will pay the
doctor, the lawyer, the moving pic
ture man, the jitney man, the boot
logger and then make the pastor last
Then they will get down on their
knees and tell God to feed and clothe
the pastor when he is hungry and

NEGROES PRESENT
RESOLUTIONS
ASK REMOVAL OF COMMISSIONER
GARDINER-NSULTED RACIAL
GROUP-TAXPAYERS AND
GOOD CITIZENS.

Washington, d. Resolutions
we're adopted at the mass meeting OF
the colored citizens of the District
of Columbia asking tor the removal
of Commissioner Gardner. A CON-
mittee of siXty-tive was appointed TO
present the request to the PRESIDENT
of the United States, laying as the
basis of their complaint a resolution
which was adopted at the mass meet
ing The Rev. w. II. Jernagin, pres
ident of the Race Congress, was
DESIGNATED as spokesman, and the foi-
lowing resolution was presented
We, your petitioners representlns
one.thiri the population Of the DIS
trict of Columbia, desire to announce
our loyalty to you and to the GOV
ernment of the United States, whlcn
we have shown by our words and our
deeds.
We feel that your public statements
as TO the relation of law and the gov
ernment to the whole people mean
in every syllable exactly what they
say, and that you include IN tne
whole people every race and bloou
in America.
We feel that you aim to be and are
the President of the entire nation,
without distinction as to condition or
color.
II is because of these convictions
on our part that we bring to your
attention the recent utterances OF
Commissioner Gardiner before the
Board of Trade of this city, in whch
he stated that he opposed Suffrage
within the District of Columbia, pe'
cause our colored citizens would con-
troll politics in this city for whlch
tbev were mentally and morally un-
| fit.
That this statement was false, and
that it was an insult to o racl1l
group. one of the most progressive
within the United States, is at once
seen by it's unparalleled progress III
the elimination of illiteracy and IN
the remarkably short time in whlcn
they have acquired in this community
over $5O,OOO,OO0 worth OF real estate
As taxpayers and good citizens we
demand the removal from Office ol
commissioner Gardiner because OF
his failure to intelligeutly represent
this large body of citizens whom ne
has so Indignantly and untruthiuily
slandered, and because he Is tenn
peramentally unfit for the high once
he holds.

of the value of our exported agri-

to Europe, to the nations at war with
Germany, during the years of 1916
and 1917, show what effect obedience
by this Nation to Germary's demand
in her War-zone decree would have
had on the American farmer. The
figures are for the 10 months of 1917
ending with October and for the full'
