OLD TREE IN ORE MINE.

Discovery has been made in the
Holman iron mines, near Taconite,
Itasca county, Minnesota, not far
from the source of the Mississippi
river, of the trunk and branches of
a prehistoric pine tree in an excel
lent state of preservation and with
pine cones about it. The tree is not
petrified, says an exchange. The
wood is as sound in the main as
though it had been felled only few
years ago and the pine cones are
still pliable. The wood with ex-
pcsure to air has not softened or
crumbled, and the find is the first of
it's kind on record, so far as geolo-
gists of the great iron ranges can
learn.

CRESCENT BADGE OF TRIUMPH
Turkish Emblem, Regarded as Essen.
TALLY Mohammedan in Significance,
10 Of Christian Origin.

The Turkish crescent, although
now regarded as essentially Moham-
medan in significance, is, it appears,
Of Christian origin. A crescent moon
was the emblem of the Byzantine
empire and of the Eastern church.
The Turks adopted it as a badge Of
triumph after the capture of Con-
stantinople in 1853.
With reference to the crescent, the
story Of the origin Of the crescent
shaped Vienna roll is of curious in
terest. It arose in the sixteenth GEN.
fury, when the Turks were besieging
Vienna. Failing to carry the city
by assault they began to mine the
walls. At that period the city's
bakehouses were in the walls under
the Notifications, and when the
mines were almost through the
sound of the work was heard in the
underground bakehouses, and an
alarm was given. To celebrate this
event, the bakers of Vienna adopted
the Turkish emblem as the form in
which to mold and bake their bread.

Apostle Spoons,

Apostle spoons, also called gossip
spoons" were gilt spoons given by the
sponsors or ''gossips" to a child at its
christening. They were so called be-
cause each spoon had a figure Of an
apostle on the handle. Wealthy peo-
pie gave the whole twelve Apostles
those of less means and generosity
gave the four Evangelists; while poor
er persons had to be contented with
one, being generally the figure Of the
donors or of the child's patron saint.

ton Of the roads under the Plumb
plan, would be too much.
"The hope Of the railroads, OF the
national industrial. business and pub
lie interests dependent upon them, and
Of the millions of Americans who have
invested their savings in them, lies in
their return to private management as
soon as may be, under legislation al

Between the two plans now en-
bodied in bills-the Cummins bill,
which has just passed the Senate,
and the Esch bill, which the House
passed some time ago-opinion has
little detailed criticism to offer. 1t is
recognized that the two bills must
now be thrashed over at length in
conference and that anything may
result. A number of papers hope
that the anti-strike feature Of the
Cummins bill will be preserved, but
the opposition of labor is recognized
as a powerful factor in the House.
An interesting comparison of the
two bills is the following from "The
Springfield Republican" whose high
praise of Senator Cunmins is echoed

Co,cardly Editors

"The upstairs who are guilty Of
these lawless proceedings and the re-
dictionary journals that approve of
them pay homage to the Constitution
and the lawful processes it is sup
posed to guarantee TO men and women
charged with public offenses. They
use the Constitution as footmat and
then tear q passion to tatsers because
of the contempt Of radicals for their
concept Of 'law and order. If there
are any anarchists in this country
using that word in its worst sense
they are to be found among these
functionaries Of the Administration
and the cowardly editors who knife
rights in the back while burning IN
cense at the shrine of democracy
More moderate in tone and conced-
ing that even men of liberal opinion
find it hard to be patient with a
man who insists that the state must
be abolished" is "The New Republic" "
which none the less feels it to be its
duty to oppose such deportations.
It's argument is, in fact, as follows
"Under acts Of Congress as they are
New-York tribune., 1919-12-28

TT is difficult to draw any definite
conclusions from the public opin-
Ia ion of the country upon the rail
road problems, save the basic one
shat there is apparently an over
whe!ming sentiment against public
ownership Of the Plumb plan type or
any other type. Support for nation
alization is confined to Mr.. Bryan,
Senator La Toilette, the former
labor supporters of the Plumb plan
and the radical press of the country.
Both Democratic and Republican
papers are almost unanimous in de-
handing return to private owner
ship. AS "The Boston Herald"
states this general attitude:
"The general public Is far from be-
ing gratifed with the results Of gov
ernment operation of the railroads up
to date. 1t has watched deficits piling
up; 1t has seen increasing inctficiency
the deterioration Of rolling stock,
tracks and plant, and q continuous
practice of grabbing while the grab
bing is good on the part of different
groups Of employees. 1t has borne
these developments with patience dur
ing the war and demobilization as g
part OF the necessary war burden, but

Railroads Must Be Returned-But How?

with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. 1t leaves rate making exactly
where it was before the war. It does
not guarantee a minimum return on
capital to the railroad security holders.
Because it is so conservative the House
old system, according to the opinion Of
the foremost authorities, had broken
down. In regard to credit, the rail-
roads were being starved and their de-
velopment impeded.
The Cummns bill represents an ef-
fort, and very skillsul one, to combine
the advantages OF government owner
ship with the perpetuation of private
ownership, although it is based on the
assumption that government ownership
is out of the question. Thus it goes
far toward the consolidation Of strong
and weak lines; in rate making it re-
quires rates that will yield fair re-
turn, while the guaranteed minimum
return amounts to the use of the gov
eminent credit to insure privately
owned railroads against underfeeding
or bankruptcy, the weak and the strong
roads being practically merged in the
ample bosom Of the governments hnan-
cial power ard resources"
In general there is astonishingly
little discussion Of the bills in detail,
and, aside from the Plumb plan. no
alternative presented.
New-York tribune., 1919-12-28

in number Of other Democratic
sources:
"The Cummns railroad bill has
passed the Senate substantially as Mr.
Cummins framed Il. and this is no
table tribute to the Senator He de-
serves credit for courageous innova-
tions, whether or not they are wholly
wise. To him go the chief RESPONSE
bilty and the credit for such radical
changes in our railroad policy, II en-
acted into law, as government guar
antee of a minimum return on the prl-
vate capital invested and the strength
ening of weak roads with the surplus
earnings Of strong roads, compulsory
consolidation of railroads into some
twenty-five or thirty systems CORE
spending to as many transportation
areas, Federal incorporation of the
companies, a division of authority be-
tween the old Interstate Commerce
Commission and q new Federal trans
portation board, and declaring strikes
in interstate commerce unlawful.
THE House bill is much the more
conse rvative, in that it leaves the old
order existing before the war more
nearly intact. BY so much the House
bill is less OF a departure from the
principles Of private ownership. 1t
permits consultations Of railroad, but
it does not compel them. 1t does not
create . new body to divide authority

s Yield Famous Victory Hopes of the Beaten "Wes"

the day Of hard STUFF is gone forever"
If Congress should pass a reso-
luton (such as the Knox resolution
declaring the state of war ended
the President could sign it and de-
clare rehabilitation at an end, says
The New York Tribune. Time
for this, however, has almost ex-
pired, and the principal question
now concerns the possibility Of over
throwing the amendment, an at
tempt now being made by that pc
culiarly independent state, Rhode
Island. This attempt, according to
THE Knickerbocker Press" is
based on Article X of the Consti-
tuition, reserving powers not dele
gated to Congress to the states.
But The New York Tribune
argues that 1--WE, the people," es~
tablished the Constitution and have
a right to amend it as we wish.
Judging from all this, the "wets'
chances are considered very slim.
There may be brief period before
the 18th or possibly the 29th of
January, but the amendment will
stand, according to the general
view, although the liquor supporters
will probably fight a desperate legal
battle until the bitter end.
