Only coo Persons Preaching American
ism Apainst Radical Doctrines.
Davenport, Dec. 1S.--How many men
and women are there in the United
states today making their living by
preaching bolshevism, communism
ind radical socialism?
The secretary Of the Greater Iowa
Association returned yesterday from
New York. where he attended the
conference including representatives
from each state in the union, looking
to the ofEanization Of national as
ISOLATION that will conduct an oppos-
ing propaganda to radicalism. AT
this conference q representative OF
the federal intelligence bureau re-
ported that the government now has a
definite record of $4,000 men and
women who are devoting all Of their
time to an effort to develop unrest.
This government agent further re-
ported that, while a large majority OF
these radical agitators were working
/ IN the big industrial centers Of the
country. both east and west. about
1000 were devoting their entire en-
ergy to what are known as rural
states"
Another striking report was made
by this same government agent, who
said that reliable data had been COL
lected with reference to the number OF
men and women who are devoting all
Of their time to preaching American
ism and good citizenship. The number
IL . little less than 500. The New
York conference, therefore, immediate
| ly set itself to the task Of developing
basic information which could be sent
:, to the loyal men and women all over
the United States who want to help
combat the unrest propaganda but
who have not given to the subject a
sufficient study to enable them to log
tcally and completely meet all Of the
carefully worked out arguments Of the
radicals.

MEETING RAILWAY DEFICITS.

There is all manner Of doubt about
the wisdom or the PLAIN common sense
of giving, right now, more time to the
National Railway Administration than
the u months it will have anyhow to
operate the roads after the formal peace
tr, atv At this moment nobody knows
what is best for the roads, best for the
shippers and best for the country. We
may not know u months after peace the
perfect thing TO do; but If We don't know
then more than We know now, If We don't
know great deal more, IT will be be-
cause we are such numskulls that we
shall never know. Representative Sims
amendment for FIVE wears OF trial from
the first Of January, therefore, should be
placed and kept in cold storage.
The chances arc a hundred TO one,
however, that his other amendment,
providing for an additional 00,M0,000
IN the revolving fund, will be almost
immediately necessary. Since the signing
Of the armlsticc the business Of the rail
roads has not been going up; 1t has been
gong down. But the expenses Of the rail
roads have not been gong down: they
have been going Up.
The earnings in October, before the
StupcndouS traffic IN munitions and
tToops slackcncd. made n dismal show
ing as compared with September and rs
compared with the corresponding month
Of the previous year. The cause was
higher operating costs; the trouble with
anything that the government does IN
business little results for big money.
When the net earnings for November
and December come to hand the story
of economic lnefhcioncy al a very high
price is liable to bc CHASTITY. Facing rail-
way deficits il no more OF a joke for
