Another sensational chapter ii
the amazing history Of frenzied rail-
road financing was presented to
Congress today by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. It recited
the result Of the investigation made
by that body into the Wabash Pitts
burgh Terminal Railway Company,
which went into the hands Of a re-
eeivsr in 1908. This Investigation,
undertaken at the request Of the
House Of Representatives, shows
that at no time did the property
warrant the cash invested therein.
The committee declares that the
DEVELOPMENTS in connection with this
property, which since has been sold
and now u operated by the Pitts
burgh and West Virginia Railroad
Company, presents another afgu-
ment Of the great necessity for
proper Government regulation and
control Of securities issues.
''Poer Venture"
The result or the operation OF THIS
terminal" says the report Of the COM
mission. shows that its building was
a poor business venture. There was
a total Of $50 100000 In bonds issued
against this railroad. which was not
over sixty miles long and which
should not have cost to exceed SR5l-
o00000."
The commission finds that the par
value Of the frst mortgage bonds
alone exceeded BY approximately S..
100000 the actual amount OF cash
which was expended on the ensirs
property.

HOW WAR CUTS ROAD WORK

Indicating how the wartime policy
of restricting highway construction to
projects of military or great economic
Importance has been enforced, the
Bureau of Public Roads announces
that from the day in January, 1918,
when the Secretary of Agriculture
called upon the States to conserve
money, labor, transportation, and ma
terials as far as possible, to Septem-
Der 30, the payments on Federal-aid
post-road projects aggregated $751;
293.84, or less than one-thirtieth of
the amount which theoretically could
have been paid in that reriod. In the
administration of the Federal-aid road
act, 691 projects, involving construc-
ton of 1878 miles, at total esti-
mated cost of $52,673, S98.74, of which
Federal aid comprised $19,S43 ,315.02,
were approved by the Secretary of
Agriculture in the period from July
II, 1916, when the act became effec-
tive. to October /, 1918. The total
amount of Federal aid available to
October l, after deducting per cent.
for administrative purposes, was $780,
100000.

WAKES-THEY ARE ENJOYABLE
UNTIL THE "FLU" COMES

Ontario, Cal.-No more wakes here
while the "fu" epidemic lasts.
This was the mandate of the city
board of health today, following a re-
port of nine deaths among the Mex
leans of this vicinity from pneumonia,
following attacks of influenza, within
the week.
A score or more of coses among
this foreign element, the majority of
them are persons who have attended
wakes over the body of a friend or
relative who had died of the FLU,
and matters reached a climax when
friends of Bartale Nebarro, aged SO,
who died in camp at the aGusti sec
ton, where there are seven other
cases, attempted to hold an all night
wake over the body.
The board of health stepped in, set
its official foot down and decreed that
the custom must be abandoned in the
present epidemic.

KEEP THE CORNERS CLEAR

The increase in the number of mo-
tor cars in almost every day use on
the roads, and the speed at which
many of them are run, demands more
precautions than formerly in keeping
the range of vision on the roads clear
This applies particularly to section
corners and to bends in roads along
the fence row, views across corners
are frequently completely shot off I'M
til the turn is made. Such corners as
these should be looked after at once
by road officials and a range of vision
should be cleared across the corners
for at least ten rods back. No matter
how careful folks will be, accidents
are liable to happen at any time at
these blind corners, and no one really
be to blame for them, except that an
INSTRUCTED view prevented each from
seeing the other in time to avoid col
lision.

CULVERTS CHEAPER THAN
BRIDGE FLOOR UPKEEP

Repair on the road surface has been
found to be the most expensive item
in the maintenance of canal highway
crossings in the South San Joaquin
Irrigation District of California. AS
result, culverts which can be lacked
beneath paved surfaces without dis
turbing the roadway are considered to
be very much cheaper than small
bridges or culverts of the type which
involve the removal of the highway
surfacing. Large pipes therefore are
used in place of the old type bridge
culvert whenever feasible By using
two or more pipes in parallel. bitches
of comparatively large capacity have
been provided for at crossings. Cor
rugated iron pipes as large as forty
eight inch doameter are now being
successfully lacked under highways

JUST ONE MORE PROOF THAT 1T
CAN'T BE DONE

Clinton, Ill.-A pair of his wife's
old shoes appeared to William Rinkel
to offer safe concealment for his pay
envelope from the eager fingers of his
lifes companion, who was sleeping
peacefully in bed, but who, as iRnkel
knew, was liable to conduct a little
search after he himself had gone to
sleep.
And so he turned back the covers
and piled YEARLY in with a chuckle of
satisfaction. The next morning he
awoke late and peered about the room.
Even the shoes were gone!
His wife had taken them to the cob
bler's, and Rinkey followed in haste.
He found the shoemaker, bills in hand,
with a far away look in his eyes.
Rinkel intercepted the dream and took
the roll.

The horror of Russia was as nee
essary for the worlds education as
the horror of Germany.
Mankind learns its lessons eXpen-
sively, with infinite waste.
1t could learn the utter wicked
ness of kaiserism and sultanism only
by such a war as this.
1t could comprehend the necessity
of the United States of-the world only
be spending millions of lives and bill
lions of dollars.
No persuasion of reason, no tutel-
age of peace, could convince human
ity of its essential Oneness. The idea
had to be blasted in.
And to get its real lesson in demo-
cracy the human race needed the wild
orgy of Bolshevism quite as much as
it needed the madness of Prussianism.
For both teach the same truth.
And that truth is that government
by class is evil and only evil.
Germany's outbreak and its even
tual collapse will show the crime, in
all its hideousness, of government
by so-called upper class.
Russia's red riot, it's plunge into
tyranny, assassination, famine and
bankruptcy, will show the crime of
government by the so-called lower
class.
Democracy is as much opposed to
one as to the other.
Democracy faces both ways.
It opposes a tyranny by the pro-
letariat as firmly as it opposes ty-
ranny by the aristocrat.
1t stands for government by the
people of the people and for the peo-
pie.
1t has a place for every man; for
the scholar, the clerk, the poet and
for the bricklayer, the farmer and
the engineer.
To say that the welfare of a nation
depends upon those who labor with
their hands is as much nonsense as
to say it depends upon it's lords and
gentlemen. lGI
1t depends upon all.
Democracy means unity. 1t means
cooperation. organization, mutual in
Independence.
And lest the world, which likes tc
go to extremes, should imagine, wher
it wins this war against its autocratiC
marauders, that government by kais
ers, kings and sultans is its only enc
my, and that we shall have peace for
ever when they are overthrown, i

Military Relief, Lake Division, Rmer-
lean Red Cross, to Camps Sherman

son for use in the recent epidemic of
influenza and pneumonia, according to
partial report just made by Edward
b. Greene, division director of Mill
/ tary Relief.
The statement that in these three
military establishments the normal
capacities of the base hospitals are
for 1920 patients and that at one per-
iod in the epidemic there were no less
than 16,167 cases of fue and pneu-
monia, makes it clear why the Red
Cross was given the opportunity to
supply the following for use at Sher-
man, Taylor and Harrison.
1000 bed sheets
1000 towels.
$4,000 masks.
1000 wash cloths.
$500 handkerchiefs.
$4,000 pillow cases.
5000 pajamas
$500 pillows.
100000 paper napkins.

Camp Wright, McCook Field, Fort
| Thomas, Columbus Barracks and to
the army vocational schools at Ohio
State University University of In
diana, Kentucky State University,
Perdue University, and the Indiana
Deaf and Dumb Institute at Indiana
polls.
Red Cross supplies made it possible
to increase the capacity OF the hospi-
tai at Harrison from one for $50 to
one for LOO patients, in less than
twenty-four hours. The Red Cross
also arranged for the establishment
of diet kitchen at this hospital
At Taylor the Red Cross house was
converted into a quarters for nurses
and nearby building was transform
ed into a quarters for the handling OF
relatives of men critically i'll.
At Sherman more than 400 grief
stricken relatives of critically i'll SOL
diers were fed daily by the Red Cross
at free canteen and for a time 100
were given shelter each night in the
Red Cross house that normally pro-
vides sleeping quarters for twelve.
Red Cross automobiles transported
visitors back and forth between the
base hospital and the Red Cross house
without cost to the riders.
One officer wrote as follow to a
member of the field staff of the De-
partment of Military Relief at one
camp;
Il wish to state to you and men,
bers of your staff on duty at the base
hospital, the appreciation of the staff
of this hospital for your faithful work
during the period of the emergency
which has just passed. The enormous
task of handling thousands of visitors
the labor of the greatly increased cor
respondence, the tactful handling OF
the bereaved ones, the willingness dis
played on all occasions, reflected
