MR.. McADOO'S RAILROAD PLAN

The first thing that strikes one in
Director-General McAGoo's urging
an extension for FIVE years of Gov
ornment operation Of the railroads
is the evidence it yields of confused
yunsCls and of uncertainty on the
part of the Administration. On De-
cember the President went before
Congress and spoke on the question
of 'the policy to be adopted toward
the railroads. He said: Il have no
confident judgment of my own. l
do not see how any thoughtful man
can have" He added that it was a
problem to be carefully looked into,
and he hoped that Congress would
have "a complete and impartial
study-instituted at once and pros
ecuted as rapidly as possible That
was on December /. But on Decem-
Der II Mr.. McAdoo issues far
reaching and full-bodied plan, and
winds up with the cool statement:
"The President has given me per-
mission to say that this conclusion
accords with his own view of the
matter" Mr.. Wilson's conversion
from open doubt to entire certainty
must have been rapid. To adapt the
old couplet, betwixt the White
House and the ship he mercy sought
and mercy found.
As Mr.. McAdoo is to cease being
Director-General on the first of Jan
uary, it might have been thought
that he would leave recommends
tions of general policy to his sue
cessor. But let that pass. There is
a pressing emergency, according to
Mr. McAdoo, requiring Congress to
act. 1t is certainly kind of emer-
gency reasoning which he offers. He
starts off by assuming that Congress,
in the less than three months re-
naming of this session, will find 1t
impossible" to settle the railroad
question permanently. Therefore. it
must do a piece of hurried patch
work. This does not necessarily
follow. The new Congress might be
called in extra session to do the job
deliberately and thoroughly. But
Mr.. McAdoo, with his confident
"either-or" logic, declares that only
three courses are open: (1) to let
things alone for couple of years;
(2) to turn back the railroads at
once; (3) to extend Government con-
troll for five years. But it does not

LEGISLATIVE REFORMS.

The paople are demanding high
er standard of service in the state
legislature if that branch of the gov
ernment is to enjoy respect.
By the system known as direct
legislation the people showed that
they distrusted legislatures as such,
but that system has not worked well
The people have a right to demand
greater efficiency and less waste by
egislatures-less lost motion and
less rash enactment of laws.
Before Legislature takes up and
enac.s new law imposing tax or
creating burdens affecting all the
people such law should be asked for
by someone besides those interested
in putting it over.
The old order of business, "peti-
tions and remonstrances that was
established as a regular feature OF
Legislative business should be revived
and no law passed until petitions for
a~it are on file.
In the same way, having one OF
two professional lobbyists, generally
publishers from some big city, make
headquarters at the state house ant
take personal charge of the legisla
ture Is wrong.
Americans should also rise above
the petty practices of nepotiSm that
manifests itself in taking members
Of their families to the state capitO
and getting them fat sinecures during
the session.
If this is to be country with op
portunity for all alike to get to the
front, in peace times as well as war
and if politically we are all created
free and equal, let our legislature
set new pace.-Manufacturer.

plain the road and reveals the
dangers along The way. 1t penetrates
and dispels the darkness. 1t serves
as beacon and guide. 1t gives
health, strength, and beauty to all
forms Of life. 1t is Of inestimable
value to those who. will use it. 1t
is almost inconeeiyable that some
should purposely deprive themselves
of its benefits, And yet some do.
Jesus said: Every one that doeth
evil hateth the light, and cometh not
to the light, lest his works should
be reproved" John 3:20. A botch
job of work looks just as good in the
dark as the very finest piece of work

even if he is in the church. But
stand out in the Light of World, and
then make comparisons and take
notes.
Some keen analyst of history has
said that our present day civilization
contains two elements which insure
its perpe.lity. These, he said, are
deductive logic and Christianity. To-
day it is possible for us to go a little
! further in our analysis. The Ger
man Empire had deductive logic and
omolselessly applied it everywhere,
to the exclusion of Christianity. The
German Empire has fallen, and SO
has German civilization. 1t is safe
to say today that a civilization may
perpetuate itself wi'hLut logic but
cannot do so without Christianity

In The sandy desert country OF the
bible lands it is said that because OF
,he glare of the sun on the sand
which almost causes blindness, and
the oppressive heat, travellers will
frequently rest during the day and
.ravel at night, guided by the stars.
But if the guiding stars become
hidden by clouds the travellers are
helpless and must await in the
darkness the dawn or the passing Of
the clouds. 1t was such a situation
as this, probably, that Zacharias had
in mind as he uttered the words of
The text. The guiding stars of the
Mosaic law and the prophetic teach
ings had become hidden by the ira
dition and ceremonial of men. Pro-
gress was at a standstill. The blind
we're leading the blind.
Travellers report that towards the
close of the long polar night of dark
ness there is expectation and long
ing for the return OF daylight, on the
part of those who live in the polar
regions. When the first CLEAN of the
sun appears the cry is heard: Be
hold the sun" So was the expecta-
ton and longing of the world. "The
people were in expectation Luke
3:15. Mary, Zacharias and Simeon
sing in exultation and praise that
they have been permitted to see the
"Sun Of Righteousness arise. The
angels announced his birth to the
shepherds with benedictions from
God. Wise men from the East came
and layed their tribute before Him.
Men from all Judea went out to
hear John the Baptist and to ask
If he were the promised one who
should come. In answer John
pointed to Jesus. And Matthew
quotes the fulfilment of a prophecy
by Isiah: "The people that sat in
darkness saw great light, and to
them that sat in the region and
shadow of death, to them did light
spring up"

1t is commonly assumed that
mans progress has, from the begin
ming, been steadily upward. How
ever, upon closer investigation, it is
seen that the course of history is
somewhat like journey to the top
Of some mountain peak. 1t is not
uphill all the way. Frequently the
road will descend almost to the level
from which the traveller started and
the climb must be begun once more.
Various civilizations have arisen,
each one doubtless, the wonder of
its times, only to fall in ruins and
be followed by other civilizations.
An exception to this is found in the
| history of a few nations of the east.
| Each one of which, enclosed within
its hermit walls, has gathered in
around itself the garments of its
early vigorous achievements, and has
peacefully slumbered. thru the cen
turies. At last awakening in the

now adjusting its vision to the un-
accustomed light
This early period may we'll be
