KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED.
Applicants for Insurance
Often Rejected.

An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the
astonishing statement that one reason
why so many applicants for insurance
are rejected is because kidney trouble
Is so common to the American people.
and the large majority Of those whose
applications are declined do not even
suspect that they have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful In overcoming
these conditions. The mild and heal
ing influence Of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is soon realized. It stands the
highest for its remarkable record of
success.
We find that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad-
wise our readers who feel in need of
such a remedy to give IL trial. Il is
on sale at all drug stores in bottles Of
two sizes. medium and large.
However, if you wish first TO test this
great preparation send 10 cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co, Binghsmton, N. Y. for
sample bottle. When writing be sure

DKeofof-Genera McAdoo's Railway
Plan and Senator Cummins's

Director-Genera McAdoo wants 10 Il,
the railways up with the Government
for five years Of experiment with Fed
eral operation. Senator Cummins want,
to tie the railways up with the Gov
eminent for an eternity Of Federal own
ership, but with private management.
Practical railway managers must see
great deal of merit in many Of the rec
concentrations which Mr.. McAdoo made
to Congress the other day. The best OF
these were his proposals TO wipe out
permanently the little roads, or rather
to piece them into the big roads; to
have permanently as few general sys-
TENS as possible; TO permit perma-
nently no circultous routing OF freight
to maintain permanently union freight
and passenger terminals at every centre
Of traffic.
To any man Of common sense,
whether he is for Government opera
tion or for private operation, the ad-
yantages of these measures are OBJ
vious. The little jerk-water road of a
few miles OF track handful Of rolling
stock, inadequate capacity to do any
thing WELL insufficient revenues to en-
ploy the best talen in the business, is as
much out Of place today as a rOwbOat
trying by itself TO compete or TO do
anything worth while in the overseas
carrying trade. In the early generations
OF railrOading the Vanderbilts and the
Huntingtons, with their consultations,
alliances and poolings, anticipated this
truth. In the next generation the Hills
and the Harrimans tried TO drive 1t
home TO the railroad craft, TO the pub
lie and the Government.
Director-General McAdoO has con-
slstently claimed for the Government
the right, the duty. the necessity OF
doing the things which the Vanderbilts
and the Harrimans were forbidden to
do by the laws of the United States.
Whatever doubt there may be about
the success Of the railway administra-
tlon under Mr.. McAdoO, there can be
no doubt th . he has taught every man,
woman and child In The country that
before we can have a satisfactory ma
tional railway system we must go
straight back to the aims and the ef-
forts Of those who pioneered and built
up our transportation system. We may
safeguard, but we must exercise those
principles.
Director-General McAdoO's plan, as
we see 10, is at fault in that, when the
Government has upward Of two years
yet TO learn from experience what
needs to be done and Jhe best way toi
go about doing Il, he wants to decide
now upon the flve-year period. though /
this question could be decided more
wisely six months from now, or year |
from now, or year and half from
now.
Senator Cummins plan, is at greater
fault because, without waiting for eX-
pertinent. he would have the Govern
ment buy the railroads at once, though
he sees the danger of having the Gov
ernment operate them. It does seem
clear. however, that if the Government 4
Is going to stay in the railroad bust
ness. one way or the other, Senator
Cummlns' plan is preferable to Mr.. Nc
AdOO's plan.

McADOODLED ROADS.

ID ENDING the compilation Of exact figures Il IS esti-
mated by government officials that the loss to the
United States in the operation Of the railroads in 1918
will reach si5OOO0OOO
The aggregate compensation paid by the government
for all roads is about s95OOOOO and the net income has
been about SsO0OOOOOO
Receipts Of the roads have been nearly twenty per
cent greater than in 1917 but the expenses under gov
ernment control have increased at far more rapid rate
In 1917 about seventy per cent Of revenue was needed
for the payment Of operating expenses while in 1918
eighty per cent was required for that purpose
In addition, the roads have become Indebted TO the
extent Of almost s20OOOOOO for new rolling stock.
That money was lent by the Government and will
have TO be repaid

crate, leased them without political OF
other favoritism, the Government would
always be sure to see that the roads
had trafilc rates that could provide suf-
| llcient revenues TO enable the operating
companies TO pay their rentals TO the
Government and to operate at a sufil-
cient profit, in addition, TO Justify the
companies in going on with their work
ing to earn the rental and pay 1t over
to the national treasury.
We confess we do not see the impOr-
tance of Senator Cummins' belief that
between S2,000,GO0 and s3,0O0,0O0 could
be saved yearly by the lower interest
on invested capital which the Govern
ment-Owned stock would pay" II is not
the interest rate or the dividend rate on
railway securities that has been the
big factor in the freight bills payable
by the public. Relatively the difference
in capital returns is a drop in the
bucket Railroads have paid no divi-
dends at all, and yet the freight bills
Of the public have risen and risen. Rail-
roads have defaulted on the interest on
their bonds, and yet the freight bills OF
the public have risen stupendously.
There could be no more striking ex-
ample Of the unimpOrtance Of railway
dividends or interest compared with op-
Grating costs than the way in which
freight bills and passenger bills OF the
American people have gone up In the
last year. Stockholders didn't get any
thing more. Bondholders didn't get
anything more Many Of them got less.
and yet the operating expenses OF the
roads in labor and coal alone increased
by upward of a billion dollars a year.
The total interest and the total divi-
dends paid to stockholders and bond
holders by all the railroads Of the
United States on more than twenty bill
lions Of dollars Of invested capital have
never exceeded a billion dollars a year.
Too often, too, dsastrously often, they
have been tens and hundreds Of millions
below that figure. But the poy rolls can
shoot up the better part Of a billion
over night
What Senator Cummins wants to safe
guard the public against is the enor-
nous cost, the frightful waste, the
paralyzing inefflciency Of operation by
Federal bureaucrats and,by Government
employees, who never have the interest
or the satisfaction in a public job that
other men have in their private Jobs He
knows that il takes three men on Gov
job to do the work Of one
man. He knows that even then the
work isn't done right, as II can be done
by the man who is working for himself |
or working for an employer who feels |
and shows an intimate personal inter- !
est in the way the employe does his
work
Senator Cummins will make no mis- |
take if he sticks to his resolve that, |
until there is at least some promise that
public place-holders can be reborn in
the flesh and in the spirit, the Govern
ment must be kept out Of operation,
though necessity might drive II into
ownership Of the railway system of
America.

Spirit of The

NEGRO REPUBLICANS.


From the Laurel Leader.
Still ranking with the loss Of the
recent election and unable to swallow
the pill of defeat, the Every Evening,
Of Wilmington, has now graped for a
straw in the sea Of wrath, and IS en-
deavoring to influence the Negroes
against the Republican party.
This utterly ridiculous and unfair al
titude Is nothing more than can be ex-
pected from an organ Of this nature,
and while the Every Evening no doubt
believes It may result in Negroes in
Delaware f0rsaking their rightful party,
their belief is surely without founda>
ion. The argument Of the Every Even
ing is that Republicans in Delaware
refuse TO recognize the Negro, although
they claim the Negro TO be a strong
factor In Republican ranks.
Naturally the Every Evening fails to
make mention Of any recognition ever
given the Negro by the cratic
party, and they also fail 10 mt out
that the Democratic party has surely
endeavored to keep the Negro from his
right TO vote. They do not go even
further back and give more unpleasant
facts. but they ask why the Republican
party does not give the Negroes vari-
GUS offices in payment for his support
The Every Evening is simply asking
these pointed questions Of the Negro
himself, for if there is a staunch Re-
publican and a man who has reason
for being a staunch Republican, il is
the Negro. In proportion to the white
voters the Negroes throughout the
country receive individual recognition
equally. What is the feeling Of the
Democratic party towards the Negroes?
Negro voters today know what they
are voting for, and when they exercise
their right, It IS intelligently
