back at 1880 If the train could be
stopped. The agent telegraphed
the superintendent at Omaha and in
about three days he had a message
that the train would not stop. Later
the matter was taken UP at the Co.
lumbus end and the general ticket
agent at that place was informed
that the train would not stop for
so.
And this is the service we get
under the new system. Under the
old almost any fast train could be
stopped for 10 people. Why In the
name of finance and business could
a train like this not be stopped to
accommodate so many? Is this
service2 AS a matter of fact It was
known that the people would have
to take automobiles to the town
and nearly all Of this money would
be saved from making government
control a success, Who is at fault
is It the system? Is it obshssed Of
fieials? Or is it coneocted scheme
of railroad private officials to make
the control unbearable?

Religion I'M Ireland.

Upland, Neb., Jan. 14.-To the
Editor Of the Omaha Bee: Mr.. Kent
says that / do not know the differ
ence between a political and relig-
ious argument. In ireland the
Catholic priests are what we may
call in America political bosses. This
would not be If the Irish Catholics
did their own thinking. Mr.. Kent
also says that the priests will not
give up their hold on the Irish peo-
pie. In this he is quite right, as
long as there is a chance for these
priests to embarrass Protestant Eng
land you will find them as the lead
eFs. It is more of religious quarrel,
but is camouflaged as a political
quarrel
Why were the French Canadian
Catholics so afraid to enlist as did
their Protestant neighbors? Had it

Americans will be prompt to join with the
British public in protest against the policy of
secrecy adopted for the peace conference. It
had been the thought that the proceedings
would be OPEN that discussions would be frank,
and that the public would be fully informed as
to each step taken. 1t appears, however that
the old practice Of discussing state affairs in
camera is too strong to be Immediately over
thrown, in Europe, at least Until the curtain
is raised on the drama now being rehearsed at
Versailles suspicion viii attach to ali its doings
When President Wilson declared for open
covenants Of peace openly arrived at, he was
applauded, and when he supplemented this with
the statement that peace should be made on a
basis of justice to all without regard to the
selfish interest Of any, he was accorded APP
proval by the world. How these principles can
be adapted to the processes Of secret conclave
is not plain. Peace is to be made for the good
Of the people, and the people rightly insist on
being present while its foundations are laid.

Mothers!
An Appeal For Your Children

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the physc that mother insisted on--casea
oil, salts or cathartics.
How you hated them. How you fought them. How
you dreaded their after-efects.
That was all wrong, but then nobody knew better.
With our children it's different
The day of harsh physics is over
We don't force the bowels now; we coax them
We have no dreaded after-efects.

Mothers who cling to the old form Of physic simply
don't know what they do.
The chldren's revolt is wel-founded.
Their tender bowels are harmed by them.
The modern way is to give gentle laxative mort

The best method is Cascarets.

Under Government Ownership.

0AuEE ACFNAAlA
Schuyler, Neb., Jan. 13.-To the
Editor OF The Bee: 1t has been ar
gued that government ownership
and control of railroads would work
largely in favor of the people
that there would be fewer strikes,
less friction, better pay, and reduced
rates. The fact that this is to be
the state question for the state de-
bates for high schools this year
lends interest for we shall have the
solution to the problem.
Our service at present is not
comparable to the system as It was.
There may be fewer passes granted
now than under the old system but
IL is doubted. Wages have been
raised but it is hard to find a rail-
road man that Is not anxious to 60

find vent.

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless

IL is not necessary to shampoo
your hair so frequently if II is en-
tirely and properly cleansed each
time by the use Of really good
shampoo. The easiest TO use and
quickest drying shampoo that we
can recommend TO our readers is
one that brings out all the natural
beauty of the hair and may be en-
joyed AT very little expense. by dis
solving a teaspoonful of canthroX
which can be obtained from any
druggist. IN cup of hot water This
makes a fun cup of shampoo liquid
enough so it is easy to apply 1t to
all the hair instead of just TO the top
of the head. This when rubbed into
the scalp and onto every strand of
hair, chemically dissolves all impuri-
ties. II is very soothing and cooling
in its action. as we'll as beneficial TO
both scalp and hair. After rinsing
out the lather so created you will
find the scalp is fresh, clean and free
from dandruff, while the hair dries
quickly and evenly, developing
bright luster and a soft fluffiness that
makes il seem very heavy. -Advt.
