RAILROAD DEFICITS.

The report of the director general of the
railroads shows that the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn, one of the large groups of the rail
roads of the country, had net earnings for
January, 1919, approximately $4,OOO,OOO
below its net earnings in January, 1918.
This fact would not be significant did not
the report declare that the gross income of
the system was $14,OO0,OOO more in Janu-
airy of this year than in the corresponding
month of 1918. Thus, it is seen that the oper-
atlng expenses of the system increased $1O,-
100000 for January, 1919, over those of
the same month one year before. The gov
eminent operation of this system discloses
tremendous increase in current expenses,
which in short time can result in nothing
but bankruptcy were the masses of the peo-
pie taxed to meet the deficits.
The Pennsylvania is not the only system
which shows a tendency toward large def
cts. The January report further shows that
the Erie had a deficit of 100000; the Hi
nois Central, which owns the Central of
Georgia, $155, 900; the Baltimore and Ohio,
$1,700,000 the Milwaukee, $732,OOO; the
Missouri Pacific, $378,OOO; the New Haven,
$847, 900.
These deficits DO not fall on the owners
of the roads. Their dividends are fixed and
guaranteed by the government. The masses
of the people, thousands of whom never use
the railroads for any purpose, are taxed to
pay the amounts Indicated and hundreds of
the same kind, for almost every railroad in
the country shows a deficit under govern
ment operation. The operation of the rail
roads by the government is becoming as
much burden on the people as the main
tenance of a normal army would be- Freight
and passenger rates have been raised to
points which would have created revolution
had the railroads under private ownership
tried to secure them. Travel in comfort is
out of the question of the individual of linn
tied means. Freight rate increases add ma
terially to the cost of commodities which
enter into the common living Yet, the gov
eminent asks for a $75O,OOO,OOO appropria-
ton to enable it to hold onto the lines dur
ing the present year.

New Every Morning.

Every day is a fresh beginning.
Every morn is the world made new.
You, who are weary of sorrow and SHINING,
Here is a beautiful hope for you
hope for me and a hope for you.
All the past things are past and over.
Tasks are done and the stars are shed
Yesterdays errors let yesterday cover:
Yesterdays wounds, which smarted and
bed
Are healed with the healing which NIGHT
has shed.
Yesterday now is part of forever.
Bound in a sheaf, which God holds tigbt
With glad days, and sad days, and bad days,
Shall visit US more with their bloom and
their blight
Their fullness of sunshine or sorrowful
night.
Let them go, since we cannot relieve them.
Cannot undo and cannot atone;
God in his mercy receive and forgive them !
Only the new days are our own;
Today IS ours, and today alone
Here are the skies all FURNISHED BRIGHTLY
Here is the spent earth all reborn.
Here are the tired limbs springing lightly.
To face the sun and to share with the
morn
In the charm of dew and the cool of
dawn.
Every day is fresh beginning:
Listen, my soul, to the glad refrain.
And in spite of old sorrow and older sim
ming,
And puzzles forecast, and possible pain.
Take heart with the dow and begin .a~qin

THE RED SCOURGF.

The possibility of a new war in eastern
Europe is so near realization that the world
pauses in an effort to comprehend the re-
suits. 1t is too early to look for the cause
of this disorder. But on the surface it
seems to have been encouraged, if not Great
ed, by the delay of the conference in reach
ing an agreement on peace terms, and lay
ing down the policies which are to guide
Europe. If this be true, those responsible
for the delays have committed a grave in
justice against the world, which is demand
ing a cessation of war. If boshevism is able
to sweep Europe and to enlist great armies
of men willing to shed their blood for its
extension and give their lives for its estab-
hshment on top of the agonies and sufferings
of the last four years something is mentally
wrong with the people, and attention must
be given to their heads as well as to their
moral reformation.
If Europe is threatened with bolshevism
on a scale as extensive and near universal
as the reports Indicate the countries in
which it prevails are not fit for self-govern-
ment. Their people are incapable of exercis-
ing the rights of citizens of a free nation.
The existence of such nations is a menace
to the peace of the world, and the fewer of
them created the better. Bolshevsm is eth
er the applied principles of democracy or it
is a national danger. If the people of Eu-
rope want it as the foundation of their gov
ernments it is time real democraces wash
their hands of responsibility for those ma
tions. If it is not representative of a ma
jority of the people, but is only the inflated
purposes of the minority of the radicals, it
is not menace if military force is used
with a relentless hand to crush it out. 1t
lives on bluff, and is great in name only.
Regardless of what it's significance is, it is
time to stop trifing with it, and crush it with
military might

From the Fitzgerald Leader-Enterprise
The Select Newspaper Association of
Georgia, through its directors, are launching
the biggest advertising campaign for Geor-
gla and Georgians ever inaugurated Con-
currently with the call of President Wilson
of meeting at Washington of all the gov
ernors of the states and mayors of the larg-
er cities the directors Of the Select Newspa-
pers of Georgia have launched a movement
which IS destined to do for Georgia and
Georgians what President Wilson, on a
broader scale, will ask the governors and
mayors to do-provide a public policy of
construction to open means of employment
for the soldiers, sailors and marines coming
home from the war. For Georgia the state
press will launch a campaign of "buying
Georgia made products" so that Georgia in
dustry may make places for the returning
vlctors of our own state. The press will free
ly furnish its columns for the legitimate ex-
ploltatlon of Georgia's great resources. and
IN doing so it will have the financial assist
ance of the manufacturers and distributors
of Georgia products throughout the state.
An era of unprecedented prosperity is
ahead of US, and in its unfolding everyone
will get a share. The country press, patriotic
at all times, ready to respond to every call of
the nation, the state or community, issues its
own call now for a great drive for Georgia
in which all business interests are invited
to join.

dence of the progress of Negroes in
Mississippi, especially along educa-

Mound Bayou, Negro settlement,

According to Bura Hilbun, state
