THE RAILROADS SHOW A GAIN.

For the first time in many months government OPP
Grafton of the railroads in July showed surplus in
stead of a deficit.
Director General Hines announced that figures
of the months business indicated net operating income
of n million dollars. After allowing one-twelfth of
the annual rental due the railroad companies the net
gain is about million dollars compared with a de-
felt of $22 OBJ 900 the preceding month and IS million
dollars in February, the largest deficit Of the year The
net loss to the government for months is $780,
526,3O7.
In calculating the surplus, however, no account
taken of the wage increase offered the shopmen
and which has not been accepted by them 1t has
been estimated that the cents hour advance would
amount to about As million year, and it is retroac-
tive, the surplus for July may become deficit of APP
pfoximately the same amount.
Mr.. Hines pointed out that the falling off in
freight business continued to be big factor in the
railroad administrations finances, although business has
grown steadily since February. AS compared with
July, 1915 the decrease in operating income was about
"A per cent. Ton miles per mile of road per day in
July of this year. 5487 The freight traffic was about
25 per cent larger than the average of July of the
three year test period which the returns to the
roads computed, but expenses likewise were great
er, the increase amounting to IT'S million dollars, or
about 95 per cent much of it in wages. Passenger
trific also showed substantial increase
In connection with railroad figures, among the
interesting disclosures in the recent report to the Sen
ate railroad passes by Director General of Rail
roads Hines that McAdoo who announced when
he took the railroads that he intended to reduce
materially the number of passes not only had pass
himself but that three members of his family also had
them He still retains Pullman pass and so do the
members of his family Mr. McAdoo was described in
that report explaining that he has pass as Especial
counsel for the state of New York"
Inquiry into the number of passes was made by
Senator Truman H. Newberry of Michigan, after he
noticed travelling companion the other day with a
pass good all railroads.
Mr. Newbeuy found it numbered higher than
10000, his return to Washington he put in
resolution which the Senate adopted, calling for the
number of passes granted to officials and their families
The figures do not include passes to workers other than
officials and do not include trip passes.
There were 1880 wives, daughters, sons, other
relatives and near relatives of railroad officials with
annual railroad passes travelling on all lines during the
last year of government operation of the roads And
there were ,o96 wives daughters sons other relatives
and near relatives of these officials who enioved the
privilege of al-Hne annual Pullman passes.

THE LITTLE MATCH

Four hundred thousand fires in the
United States last year; the care,
less handling of matches was one
of the frequent causes.
How many times We read in the
papers of a child burned to death;
because it was playing with matches.
Smokers are proverbially careless
about throwing matches down; th
matches are always liable to fall on
infiamable material and a conflagra
tiQn may result
In the home none but safety mat
ches should be used and they should
be placed beyond the reach of child
rem.
Children should never be allowed
to play with matches.

FROM FRANCE

Dear Editor and Herald Family
/ would like to have little space
in this paper. As it has been quite
long time since l have read one OF
our home papers l will send my
friends a letter as it seems thev
don't get mail from me, o. some
thing, just don't know what; and
get no mail from them.
Well, dear friends, this awful war
| is over, as you all know, and the u
S. boys are having some fun over
here. 1t is SO cold now that we cant
have much fun just. now. We had
an American woman with US last
night. We have two Y. M. C. AS in
this little village and they give US
shows and entertainments and we
pass off the time very well. The
lady that cisited us last night was
Y. NJ. c. A. woman. She said that
she had been in France nine months
and was going to stay with the boys.
Dear Sister, I would like to hear
from you. as l haven't heard fir m
any one at home since / hSye been
overseas, but I am still living in
hopes of hearing from you all, and
! would like to know what has hap
pened to Miss Willie Letner of
Cookeville. Route 8. Perhaps she
has forgot that she has cousin in
France that would like to get let
ters from his people; or perhaps she
got married to that swamp-frog she
was talking to when | left the gond
old U. s. A. and he is so jealous
hearted that he don't want her 20
write to me.
Dear friends and readers of the
Herald, would like to hear from
you all 1t makes me feel so lone
some to think of my people when I
don't hear from them in six minths
time, but perhaps they don't know
where am. l am living in hopes of
getting mail at once. So goodbye to
all. May God bless each one of yJu
and keep you in his care. AS ! Law
down at night | never forget in my
prayers to ask God to help each ore
of you and that the time won't b.
long till l will be at home whit you
all again.

CHAMP CLARK ON CENTENARY

Recently the Honorable Champ
Clark made a statement that shows
the breadth of thought of the popu-
lar Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, the statement being rela-
tive to the Centenary of Missions of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, the movement to celebrate
the year 1919 as the anniversary of
one hundred years of missionary en-
deavour of that denomination In
commenting upon the movement
Speaker Clark, who himself is
"Campbellite, said:
"Of course you know | am not
Methodist; | am Campbellite, but
nevertheless and Notwithstanding
the Methodists are a great people
and have done a great work in the
world and | am very fond of them.
/ think it is a fine thing to celebrate
the Missionary Centenary of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South
This country is so young we do not
have very many anniversary cele-
brations any way you fix it, and the
Methodist circuit rider was one of
the pioneer civilizers Of the West
ern world. He was always on the
frontier and preaching the Gospel in
in out-of-theway places, and not only |
building up the Church but building
up the institutions for which we all
stand; consequently am heartily |
In favor of the movement"
Speaker Clark's tribute to the ci"-
cult rider is particularly appropri-
ate, since the raising of the salaries
IT, these hard-working preachers is

,ut of the financial campaign of the
,hurch which will be held the latter
part of April.

DROWNING CHILDREN

Drowning is one of the two most
frequent causes of accidental deaths
to children under 10 years of age
1,O49 were drowned last year.
Young children should never be
allowed to go swimming unless ac-
companied by an older person who
knows how to swim.
Every child should be taught to
swim; as we grow older it become,
more difficult. to learn to swim.
A few good swimmers drown from
cramps, but the vast majority drown
through utter ignorance of how to
keep afloat.
The Columbia boat disaster on
the Illinois river some months ago,
On which ninety-tbree people were
drowned, rs striking example Of
the Importance of swimming. TIE
statdi there would
have been no loss of life if all On
board had known how to swim or to

BOARD OF ADMINISTRATION
MEASURE UNDER FIRE OF
STATES TEACHERS

North Dakota educators are pre-
pairing to take the brunt Of the fight
for the veto in the forthcoming ref
erendum election of the Board of
Administration law, otherwise known
as S. B. 1874, passed by the last leg
islature, the object Of which is to
give to the administration powers
now held by the state superintendent
of public instruction.
Miss Minnie j. Nelson, superin-
tendent of instruction, who was
obliged to resort to the courts to
obtain possession of the office to
which the people elected her and who
still is being called upon to defend
in the courts her title to the Office,
has become the storm center of the
educational fight.
AS indicated by the resolutions
adopted at the meeting of the North
west Educators Association held In
Minot, it is the purpose Of the edu-
Gators to make this fight in the hope
of keeping the educational system
out of the hands of politicians. They
charge that the board of administra-
tion bill simply places the whole sys-
tenn of education in the hands of the
politicians.
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1919-05-01

p. S. Berg of McHenry county has
been an active, worker against the
board of administration bill, and it
is understood that he is preparing to
effect an organization of educators to
give attention to the campaign.
The position that has been taken
by DR.. Geo. Strayer, president of the
American Educational Association, is
an important element in the North
Dakota situation, as we'll as in the
national situation, for his utterances
will call the nations attention to the
scheme that is being attempted by
the Nonpartisan administration lead
ers in this state.
Suficient signatures to referendum
petitions have been secured to assure
an election on the board of admins
tration law.

HIGH SCHOOL CHORUS
GIVES ENTERTAINMENT

Friday evening the annual Glee
Club concert of the Hope High SCHOOL,
was given to medium sized audi
ence at the Hope Opera House. Each
number was vel given and thorough
ly appreciated by those present, the
feature of the evening being a can
tata, "The Mound Builders, rem
dered by the chorus, followed by one
of Supt. Schwalje's always-appreci-
ated violin solos, "Danze Tzigane",
accompanied by Mrs. Schwalje on the
piano. Miss Vera Gardner, who had
charge of the entertainment and who
is responsible for its success, then
sang Cadmen's Indian Cycle songs to
everybody's satisfaction. Miss Ruth
Bacher accompanied her.
The second part of the program
was devoted to the songs of the diff
ferent war periods of the United
States history. They were lead by
the mixed double quartet and the
sextette, and brought back many
"reminiscences to the crowd
Owing to the many other occasions
taking place the past week the at
tendance was not as large as it would
otherwise have been, but neverthe-
less the concert was success finan-
cially as well as otherwise.
