Engineer Stops His
Train to Save Life
OF Drowning Boy

Louisville, KY, Dec. 12.-Chesa-
peake & Ohio passenger train No.
Is arrived in Louisville last night
Is minutes late, but John gavins, en-
gineer, apparently soothed the an
ger of railroad officials with a re-
port that he stopped the train just
outside of Frankfort, KY, to save
the life of boy who had fallen in
an icy pond"
Cavins said his train was going
slowly around a sharp curve when
Il saw boys apparently failing to
effect the rescue Of comrade from
mill pond.
II stopped the train, cut the bell
cord and hurried to the pond. The
ice was too thin to bear me, so
threw the rope to the lad, who,
though ltumbed and struggling to
keep on top of the water, passed it
around his body and l dragged him
out. | took him to the railroad sta
ton and, by artificial respiration, re-
suscitated him."

|CURE FOR UNREST.
is KIN OWLEDCE,
WILSON WRITES
In Current Magazine Article
President Outlines Remedy
for Social Disorders Exist
ing In Country.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE cure for
social unrest in this country Is "a
fuller knowledge of American insti-
tutiens" declares President Wilson
in an article written for the current
number Of the Independent.
men today are blessed with a
new curiosity about their govern
ment," says the president. Every
where they are demanding that the
doors behind which secret policies
have ben incubated be thrown open
and kept open henceforth. The
doors that do not respond to the
keys the people hold will be bat
tered down.
"Autocratic governments Of the
past have lived by concealment; free
governments must live by under
standing. In the new day that is
dawning only those governments
that have no secrets from their peo-
fples can long endure. | do not say
that such government will make
no mistakes, but | do say mistakes
will be fewer and more easily cor
rected when all governments are
guided by we'll informed public
opinion.
Unrest is evident everywhere.
1t is not of itself a disease but a
symptom of disease. In our own
country the disease lies principally
outside the government. Those who
thinl~otherwise are mostly the new
corners and the men they have in
huenced. TIE cure for their disquiet
is fuller knowledge Of American
institutions. In this nation the peo-
pie have in their ballots the instru-
ments of peaceful change.
1--WE can know If change is de-
sirable only by knowing all the facts
about the things we wish to alter.
The journals that give facts about
government, its policies and activ-
tiles, set down by the men princi-
pally responsible for them, will
perform a public service. They will
afford a medium through which the
government can report continually
to the people"

Farmers organizations have been
invited to send representatives to

RAISING to him to give specific in.

and he could not afford to do it.
Merely Gave Opinion.
Apparently extracts from the
statement I gave the Anti-Saloon
league after its repeated requests
regarding the effect of the use oil
alcoholic beverages in the air serv-
ice, have stirred up cotnmotion in
aviation circles" the statement said
MY purpose was to give an hon
est, straightforward opinion based
on my personal observations of its
effect on pilots. These extracts dc
not convey this opinion.
mp purpose was not 10 criticize
the air survice which in my opinion
is made UP of choicest young men
who are noted for their sobriety. Our
flyers are not booze artists ana our
planes are not floating sa-
looms. | commend our air service
to every young man as what ! be,
lieve to be the most attractive and
congenial corps Of our army for
young men.
Few Not Discreet.
notwithstanding there are
a few as in every other vocation
who are not discreet. From my OBJ
servation of these few have drawn
my conclusions"
Lieutenant Maynard said that the
blame for the use of alcoholic bev-
erages in the few Instances he had
observed in the air service Cannot
be placed on the administration. but
entirely on the individual" He
added:
81 beg to state further that my
observations have not been confined
to our air service. In fact, many OBJ
servations of the effect of alcoholic
beverages have been made outside
our service"

Of his statement given to the Anti

he made two plausible mistakes,
one when he referred to the trans

he referred to his own sobriety.
He declared il would be embar-
