R. R. RATE RAISES
ONLY TEMPORARY,
{ ASSERTS M'ADOO

BAN FRANCISCO, July 1e.-Ths
Passenger and freight rate increases
which recently went into effect
throughout the country are only tenn
porary. william G. McAdoo, Director
General Of Railroads, announced hC- e,
n opening q three-day conference Of
failroad and government officials
looking to the unification Of the rail-
roads in the West
saThe entire aim Of the Railway
ADMINISTRATION" he said, sis to oper-
ate the roads at the least possible
cost. but with the greatest possible
uenefit to those who require trans
portation- Temporarily we have had
. raise rates, but when unification
begins to work out. the economics
effected win be reflected in lower
retes. The Government Is not operat-
ing the roads for profit"
EastbOund Frelghts.
One change already tentatively de-
cided upon involves the moving of
All eastbound freight from San Fran
cisco over the Western Pacific be-
cause Of the equable grade, while
Westbound, traffic probably will be
divided among the Western Pacific,
southern Pacific, and Santa Fe.
Speaking further Of present rail-
road conditions, Mr.. McAdoo said:
I'VE are doing everything in our
rower more effectively to organize
the railroads under Federal control,
and everything Is being done to en-
lance the efficiency of the service.
81 cannot tell Of any definite
changes at this time. Now I can
only diagnose. The prescription will
LLlAOW.
PubIIe-HDon't Travel"
TO the public, I will say this:
Don't travel unless yon have to. The
lass passenger traffic there is. the
more rolling stock is released to
carry freight To the man who is
thinking Of travelling and whose trip
= not necessary, my advice is to
think twice. II the trip Is not es-
oenSial, he can save the money and
invest II in liberty bonds or war
awnings stamps.
'The railroads are hauling more
traffic today than at any time in the
history OF railroading in America

Loyalty in America is loyalty to
this American people. To maintain
their rights, to make freely and
willingly, sacrifices for their rights
and their welfare they have no right
to ask-which it would be shameful
tyranny in them to 'compel-that is
the highest patriotism.
To learn their will as they have q
right under their own highest law
to control their own lives and to
manage their own public affairs is
the most essential part Of what edu-
cation in politics ought to be. Such
politics never ought to be ssadjourn-
ed"
Education in such politics Is cer-
tainly needed by Congress at all
times. It has never been worse
needed by Congress than It is
now. This has been felt in Con-
gress, whether defined or not. And
It had certainly more influence than
'1assitudes and fatigue" in-deciding
the action through which the House
and Senate virtually adjourned yes
terday, the House until August 10.
and the Senate until August "a.
The man who does his duty as an
American citizen in trying to be we'll
informed OF what American politics
means and ought to mean, must be OF
q low order OF intelligence, due to ex-
eeeding egotism, IL he does not feel,
after six months in Washington, that
he has lost more than he has gained
of what It is most essential for every
loyal and patriotic American to know
OF American politics-of the life, of
the needs, of the will OF the Ameri-
can people. II he assumes that off,
cial life in Washington, spent in
taking part in government" is In
itself enough to educate him In
American politics, he is in danger of
becoming a superman of the most
pernicious class. Members of Con-
gress separate themselves from this
class, IL It exists, by their anxiety
to get out OF the city and back to
their own constituencies that they
may learn what II is impossible to
learn In Washington. 1t makes no
difference to what is most essential
IN American politics that they wish to
hold their jobs"-to be reelected and
10 return to Washington Endorsed or
tolerated The most essential fea-
lure of American politics is their
responsibility under a
FREE BALLOT AND A FAIR COUNT,
expressing the right OF the people to
control them, and to force them to
recount for their acts.

PRISON RATHER THAN
 AID FOR THE ENEMY
 FROM FATHER TO SON

The following lines are extracts from letter addressed to his son. 8 Belgian soldier at the front, by fath- CT living in occupied Belgium:
 Tt was an age since I had received any news from you. when one fine morning one of these strangers entered our house and asked if We were in communication with you. On our replying in the negative he be- came angry and gave me a summons to presen; myself at the "Kommand- atur." He furnished me with indispu- table proof by showing me ten of your letters and two photographs. He showed us where you said that you had received our letters. After that there was no use denying that We were in correspondence with you: but matters didn't turn out so badly after all, for I got seven letters with two photographs. l was able to obtain three other letters by paying 10 marks fine or three days in prison. But as money is scarce and we were not able to pay it, preferred to go to prison At first they shut me up in the "Kom- rnandatur." then took me to the bar racks in the salad -basket,r and final ly in the same vehicle to the Maison des patriotes. where was released after three days.
 T would gladly go to prison again for three days in order to get as many letters and especially such lovely photographs"
 The 'Maison des patriotes' is a prison having separate cells. The con siderable number of Belgians that the Germans have shut up in these pris- ons in the hope of restraining their pa triotic ardor is such that the people have changed the name of this for bidding establishment To have pass ed through the Maison des Patriotes in occupied Belgium has become a great recommendation and almost a certif cate Of national loyalty"
