WASHINGTON. August 2.---Ev-
cry railroad employe must devote
himself with new energy to his wort;
and by faithful and efficient service
justify the large increases In pay
and Improvement by the govern
ment, Director General McAdoo on
Thursday advised shop employees
on federal controlled railroads.
The director generals message
was included in a pamphlet setting
forth the findings of the railroad
board of adjustments in the shop
mems demands for increased pay.
Copies Of the decision were mailed
to every employee.
1.-THE loyal and patriotic employees
who constitute the great majority
Of the army of railroad workers
have not yielded, be It said to their
credit and honor, to any disturbing
elements" the message continued.
But the Jew who have done their
country grievous injury by impair

turbances have occurred.
1.-THE loyal and patriotic employ
es can render new and powerful
service to their country by using
their influence TO expose any who
may become slackers in their work,
by cooperating with their officers in
the enforcement of discipline and by
increasing to the utmost limits OF
their capacity the output Of locomo-
tives and cars which are SO essential
to the efficient operation of the rail-
roads of the country and to the sue
cess of our armies In the field. I
know l can count on the patriotism
and devotion to duty of every true
American engaged in the railway

PROFITEERING

We do not thi1l,, however that the
great majority of the country's business
men are primarily actuated by any other
motive than to serve the nation. At anv
rate there has been no substantial evil
dence to the contrary thus far produced.
The treasury department has reported
on certain individual cases of unusual
and excessive profits. In so far as these
cases indicate deliberate profiteering the
guilty should be sought out and punished.
Perhaps we need more stringent laws; in
any event it seems clear that heavier
excess profit tax should be imposed.
But there is no occasion for hysterical
thinking or acting, and we must especial
~ be on our guard against the manipula-
ton OF this question of political purpos-
es.-Chicago Tribune.

WHAT PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
MEANS
WHAT

Public ownership means a subsi-
appropriations for advertising and
died press and only official infor-
nation about public affairs.
The first step in government oper-
alton of railroads was to cut off all
publicity.
But the railroad administration
keeps supplying its publicity mat
ters to the press for free (starva-
tion) publication.
Just so the Nonpartisan League
must have its own subsidized press
to keep its peculiar Views before the
people.
AS fast as pubic utilities and in
dustries are taken over by the gov
eminent, state, city or national, they
begin to get out their own publlca-
lions and cease to support a free
and Independent press.

awaiting the call to fight for their coun,

money needed to finance the war, by tax
alton and by the sale of Liberty bonds,
and millions of honest people are stint

way possible. AS a reward for the self.

PITY THE WAR BRIDE

The newspapers are full of praise and
coincidence for the mothers of soldiers
"over there" but not word is said about
the war brides "over here!'
This was the lament uttered few days
ago by a sad-eyed young woman, whose
look OF utter desolation bespoke the fact
that she was one Of many whose thought
by day and dreams by night are of those
who may be suffering the privations and
discomifituros Of trench life, lying prone
upon hospital cots or perhaps giving
their all-their very existence-to the
cause Of world liberty.
And perhaps her criticism is all too
true. Not too much praise or coincidence
has been showered upon American moth.
ers who have given their sons as an offer
ing to human happiness and progress
and peace; but perhaps not enough Of
such praise and coincidence has been
awarded thewar brides and the young
wives OF young patriots.
The war has come to her as the most
serious thing in the world--this under
ing OF ties of love just completed; this
giving up OF the young, robust man with
whom the girl expected, in the near flu
ture, happily to journey along life's
pathway and upon whom she would de-
pend to clear away the rough places.
The marriage ceremony performed,
perhaps months before the date original
~ set, is followed by the only too brief
honeymoon, and then comes the separa-
tion, which tries the souls Of both, be-
cause they realize that it may never have
an endinU llDOn earth and that homo IF !,
reunion must rest upon the promise of
life after death.

passed months of anxious waiting, and
there will be many more such months

of one who even then may be enshrouded
in the Stars and Stripes; for the recov-
cry of one who may be lying between life
and death, or for the safe return of one
whose coming is assured when victory is
gained and who will be greeted not only
by the loyal and self sacrificing wife, but
by the charming bit of humanity, the to.
