Return Of the Railroads.

Assuming that the railways are to
be returned to private operation, the
heart Of the railroad problem IS the
question of how the Companies are to
De assured adequate net operating in

that the determination Of what the
ROADS shall be allowed to earn must
not be left entirely to the Interstate
commerce Commission, because the
record shows the commission in the
past has refused to let them earn sui.
ficient returns.
This is denied in some quarters.
Commissioner McChord Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission points
out that net operating income in the
three years 1915-1917 was the larg-
est ever earned in three consecutive
years. This proves nothing.
The most pertinent and convincing
evidence regarding the success or fail
ure or the old policy of regulation is
snoFded by the tendency OF railway
oeFelopment under it. Before the state
legislatures and commissions and the
interstate Commission began to make
reductions and prevent advances ir
rates In spite of advancing operating
costs, the mileage OF new RAILWAYS
putt annually was about 5000 miles
Since 1907 1t has never eQuaIed 5.O0c
miles, and In the last three years be-
fore the United States entered thu
war, 1t was less than 1900 miles 2
year. There were corresponding de
clines in the other facilities provided
This downward tendency as respectf
new facilities was reflected in the

A Convivial Drink!
ON the New York World.

From the New York World.
The demonstration made by a prom
inent restaurant keeper Of the posi-
bilities of invention In devising seduc-
tive substitutes for alcoholic bever-
ages seems to have been a great sue
cess except on one point. The imita-
ton cocktails: highballs. liquors, etc,
deceived the eye and the palate of the
imbiber, but they failed to fool the
degrees Of alcoholic exhi1aration. They
were good to look at and to taste, but
they did not cheer the inner man.
Will 1t be possible, indeed. with all
the compounder's art to overcome that
inherent defect of Notwithstanding
drinks? They may be Gust as good"
in all other respects, and better as re-
ing the stimulation. But the problem
will remain Of supplying an accepta-
BILE substitute for the alcoholic con-
tent.
National prohibition. Of course, will
offer a spur to invention of this kind
such as It has never had, under the
free consumption Of liquor. There
will be wealth beyond the dreams Of
avarice for the man who can COMFORT
a soft drink which will have stimulat-
ing properties, which will conduce to
conviviality without drunkenness.
There are coffee and tea. Of course.
among >non-alcoholic stimulants-un-
less. or until. the prohibitionists make
these also wicked outlaws.
But a world which after centuries
of demand for palatable temperance
beverages rests content with ginger
ale, soda pop and similar carbonic
drinks offers little promise Of a bev-
erage which will cheer and at tho
same time gently inebriate without
violating the prohibition laws.

HUMANE SOCIETY MAKES
THANKSGIVING APPEAL

The Washington Humane Society,
through it's acting president, James
P. Briggs, last night directed an ap-
peal to all '1overs of children, dogs
and horses" in the District of Column
bia to contribute literally to the
Thanksgiving gift fund of the organ
ization. This is the first time the
society has made an appeal to the
public for funds. Heretofore it has
depended solely upon the dues of it's
members and the fines collected in
the prosecution of cruelty cases in
the District courts.
According to Mr.. Briggs, the fines
have greatly diminished during the
past few years as result of the
decline OF the horse as a medium of
transportation. But, he said, the gal
liant service Of horses and dogs during
the war has given a new reason for
greater efforts to protect them from
injustice.
The society, in addition to prosecut-
ing cases Of cruelty to animals. in
vestigates instances of cruelty to
children. The appeal of the society
for the Thanksgiving gift fund reads
In part as follows:
"The society, in the name of the de-
fenseleSs animals and children, asks
you to take or renew membership. to
make q special Thanksgiving offering
of more than the dues, and personally
ciety needs more eyes to see and
tongues to report. even II 1t Is en-
abled to employ more agents. Let
every lover of children and animals
act at once. He gives twice who
gives quickly"
