A VOICE FROM BALTIMORE.

In discussing government control or
railroads as proposed by Mr.. McAdoo.
the Manufacturer Record. in a recent
issues says:
Mr. McAdoo's plan for continued
five years is, we think, a most unwise
proposition. Government control has
certainly not given to the public the
transportation facilities which private
ownership would have provided if the
government had given to the railroads
one-half of the freight and passenger
increases made by the government it
self OF one-half of the pooling rights
Immediately adopted by the govern
ment upon assuming control of the
railroads.
For years the government vigor-
ously. and 1t might be fairly said
viciously. attacked every request of the
railroads for higher rates and for
pooling privileges. The moment the
government assumed charge it did
everything which it had denied private
ownership the right to do. Men like
Justice Brandeis and other agitators.
who knew as much about railroads
as Germany knows about honor and
truth, denounced railroads, denied
their need for increased rates. and the
lead and drove the railroad system OF
the whole country into latent, if not
developed. bankruptcy
1t did not require any special
amount of intelligence to see that
under this hostile spirit and the legis-
| iation which it invoked the railroads
were on the toboggan slide to ruin
| The war only focused the govern
ment's attention upon situation
which railroad men had for years tried
| in vain to make the government see.
Republicans and Democrats alike

row policy and of the gospel of hatt
which the mountebanks preached from

| every newspaper in the land which

| If the government will. according
J to the law, return the railroads tt
private ownership. with the right t.

Louis F. Post, assistant secretary of
labor and student of the labor prob
lem, says that the United States is
about to enter upon an era of great
Industrial prosperity, but that it will
continue onlyso long as American en-
ployers recognize that production can
be maintained at it's height only when
workmen are we'll paid. This state
ment is. of course, true enough. Pros
perity will have ceased to exist when
workingmen are ill paid. But the ill
paying will be a consequence from
rather than cause of lack of pros
perity. A falling wage scale and de-
crease in prosperity go together. So II
has been, and, so probably it will con-
tinue to be, simply because funda-
mental principles are involved. Few
employers are unwilling to pay good
wages as long as 1t pays them to pa,
Sood wages.

Those Who Have Had.


"When I get married." said an am
bilious young man who has his own
way to make in the world. there will
be none of your society buds or fash
ion plates for mine. I am going to
pick out for a wife poor girl who
has had to economize all of her life.
and who is used to doing her own
cooking and making her own clothes.
I want a wife who has been reared to
be thrifty and Industrious, and whom
I can depend on to save my money,
not spend it,"
IF you do" replied a worldly wise
woman, then marry girl who has
been accustomed to having plenty OF
money all Of her life. not one who is
hungry and starved for money and the
things that morey buys, and to whom
a shopping ticket is a card OF adnis-
sion to a reserved seat in the seventh
heaven.
There are no such wusteful and ex-
travagant women in the world as the
poor girls who suddenly get their
hands into a mans pockets that have
money in them. All Of their lives they
have pinned for the pretty things that
they have seen other girls have. and
that they have read about in novels
and the women's magazines.
Their very dreams have been OF
chiffons. sweeping feathers. gorgeous
! jewelry, gilt furniture and gewgaws
and knickknacks. and when they get a
chance at buying them they go spend
ing mad. They gorge themselves on
department stores and bargain sales.
as a famished man does on food at a
feast. They throw away money just
for the sake of throwing it away. be-
cause it is so Intoxicating to be able
to scorn that which one has shaved for
and boarded as if it nao been ones
life blood.
Besides this, the gsrf who has never
had any money has no standards of
expenditure. The poor girl who mar
ries mai who Is getting two or three
thousand a year thinks that she is
marrying a second rockefeller, and
/ that there is simply no end to his in
come. while to the rich girl two >or
three thousand a year as poverty. She
feels that with such a snoe string Of an
income they must economic in every
possible way, and so she nurses every
nickel.
"As for the girl who has always
helped mother with the cooking,
washing apd ironing. continuing to do
her own housework after marriage, il
she gets a man who can possibly at
I'd a maid. there Is absolutely moth
| ing doing for her. She has had enough
of wrestling with pots and pans to do
her for life time. end she is never
ling to touch another une If she can
| help it. Therefore. never marry a
girl. il you want a domestic wife. who
has been STEPPED in dish water all of
her life, and whose one aim and desire
.yfle-i she marries Is to swim ashore to
some hotel or boarding house.
IF you will look about among your
friends, you will observe that the
women who are enthusiastic house,
keepers, and who regard a Kitchen as
a place in which to exercise their
artistic faculties and inventive genius.
and who boast of their economy. are
all women who are not reared as do
nestle drudges. but who took up the
profession of housewifery an one of the
pleasantest features Of matrimony.

An increase of from 80 to 40 per
cent in the efficiency of shipping is
predicted as a result of the abandon
ment of the convoy system and eiimi-
nation of the necessity of zigzagging,
which the end of the fighting has
made possible. Shipping experts say
vessels now will be able to run at the
speed they are designed to attain, and
will not be held down to the rate pos
sible for the slowest vessel in a con-
voy. They will be able to take more
direct routes and will not be delayed
in port by reason Of having to travel in
groups for safety. This increased eff
ficiency is regarded as the most Inn
portant advantage to shipping that
will result from the signing Of the
armistice. Under the convoy system
upwards of month was required for
vessel to complete q transatlantic
voyages Now it will be able to make
