WHAT THE BRAKEMAN SAID.

stepped off the Pullman q moment
At Ogden, TO breathe the cool air
And, asking time honored question.
My, answer received, full and fair.
The country is full of good railroads
You'll find them in East and In West
And every last trainman you talk to
VIII swear that his line Is the best,
And that's all right too. when a fellow
Don't boost for his road all he can
He's Just. in manner of speaking,
A fractional part of man.
There's Lake Shore & Michigan Southern.
The Pennsy, the c. B, 4 c.,
Rock Island and dozens OF others
All good ones I'm here to tell you.
They're all In the same line Of business
Important l know you'll allow
Each has its own Job TO attend to
And does II the best II knows how.
But this line, the one that work for.
Stands highest, to my mind at least
Because In a Union Pacific
1t links up the West to the East.
Don't get me (, You will in a second,
Just read the words backward and see
The beautiful wonderful meaning
The name Of nay road has for me.
1t means just what every man longs for.
Itustands for the worlds highest need.
Union: Pacific; of Nations;
Untainted by blood-lust or greed.
And now that the war drums are silent
With pennants and battle-fags furled
Men pray for Union Pacific
To grid and encompass the world.

But sometimes a fellow like me

Passed up by men wiser than he.

The Case of Debs


Convicted of sedition. Eugene V. Debs goes
to prison boasting that he is flaming revolu-
ZIONIST his head unbent spirit untamed, soul
unconquered.
Commiseration for the man need not neces-
sarily imply sympathy with his cause. In time
OF war he violated law deliberately. He put his
will against the will of millions He opposed
the highest purposes of his fellow citizens. He
would have brought defeat and shame instead OF
victory and glory upon the republic. If he could
have had his way all the sacrifices made for
right and justice would have been in vain. He
did not meet our armies in front. He fired upon
them from the rear
So far as the purpose of his utterances is
concerned nothing that Hindenburg or Luden-
dorff could have said if they had been able to
address the American people could have been
more reasonable. Unless we are to assume that
Debs is lunatic and therefore irresponsible, he
has been appropriately punished for conduct
which in most of the begerent countries would
have brought him face to face with firing
squad He has fought the United States as
truly as any German. and yet he suffers only
detention and silence.
Except as men like Debs make war upon
their own country, there is nothing in their po-
litical creed that cannot be lawfully, advocated.
Thus Debs was guilty of more than sedition.
( He betrayed his associates, most of whom have
respect for law and the duties of citizenship

Our Arnag IN Russia

The protest OF company of American SOL
diers south Of Archangel against returning to
the fighting front might have been technically
regarded as mutiny but the circumstances JUS
tilted its being settled by argument and prom
Uses instead of exercise of military authority
The War department has issued only para
phrase of the dispatches it received, but this
does not conceal the dissatisfaction of officers
and men who have been fighting in tempera-
ture OF 81 degrees below zero, where the
wounded have died unattended in the frozen
snow. 1t is also known that there is dissatis-
faction among the British and French troops
but it has been kept in check because of what
their officers call morale. but which we might
give another name. There is no danger from
weather or weapons which Americans would
not uncompainingly face if they felt it neces
that they. are fighting for their country or for
any tangible cause. "The war with Germany
is over" they argue, "and why is it not over
here. What are we trying to do to the boil
sheviki?" Assurances that they will be with
drawn by June l, without any possibility of mill
merely aggravate the dissatisfaction, for why
should lives be lost .in what is confessedly q
futile enterprise?

inadequate. Whether the hope was that the
Czecho-Slovak army and the anti-bolshevik
Russians could, with such aid as the allies ex.
tended, defeat the German-inspred and in many
cases, German-led bolsheviki or whether the
purpose was gradually to increase the allied
forces has never been made clear, but for some
unaccountabe reason the armistice terms failed
to guard against complication which ought
TO have been foreseen. If our own troops can
not be made to understand the reason for con-
tinued fighting. how can we expect the Russian
masses to comprehend it? There is no problem
which more urgently callsfor diplomatic action

Better Life for the Babies.

Every baby brought into this world has a
right to proper care and treatment, to the end
that it be given chance to grow up and be-
come a useful member of the great human
family. Recognition of this truth is the inn
pulse that moves the "Free Children's Health
Week." commencing with today. Instruction
in the care and nourishment of children in baby
hood and beyond will be given without charge
by experts who are especially qualified for this
work This course includes every detail Of
dietary, clothing, exercise, treatment for all
ments and in general instructions for the rear
ing OF children. The federal governments
bureau is supporting and promoting the work,
although locally it is in the hands of resident
women who are concerned for the future gen.
'eration Almost all mothers need some instruc-
ton along these lines, and it is to reach all and
to assist all in the understanding of problems of
the care of little children that the work has
been undertaken Old-fashioned notions may
be disturbed and new-fangled ideas substituted
for "grandmother's ways" but the benefit that
will come from training the mothers of today
will be shown in stronger generation to
follow

German Professors and the World.

Only little while ago the faculty of the
Sorbonne and other great French schools pub
licly declined to renew scientific relations with
the professors of Germany, until repentance
has been shown and atonement made. Now
Nicholas Murray Butler Of Columbia university
speaks similarly for America. Until the men
of science of Germany, who contributed so ex-
tensively to the horrors of war, supported the
junkers of Prussia in all their scheming. taught
the superman doctrine, and BY precept and es-
ample, did all they could to turn civilization up
side down, have shown contrition for their
crimes, they must stand with the rest OF Ger
many outside the pale. No contribution they
could make to learning could Offset the out
RACES in which they participated through the
use of their science in fostering the deviish
methods of destruction adopted by the German
high command. The world has waited for years
for a note of-protest from these men Of science;
even the destruction of the University OF Lou
vain did not gain from them a word of disap-
probation. Until they show better apprecia-
ton Of their position, they must suffer the os-
tracism that they have so we'll earned.

Another Treasury Department Bungle.

Government accountants have a genius, at
times amounting to almost inspiration, for max
ing laws as burdensome as possible. Such a
thing has just come to pass in the Treasury
department, where comptroller has ruled that
soldiers are entitled to receive their travel pay
only to the point of muster, and from there OH
home must pay their own way and file claim
with the War department for extra allowance.
Such ruling, technically correct though it may
be- is so clearly at variance with the spirit OF
the law as to be absurd. The government is
morally and legally bound to return the soldier
to his home, just as it took him from his home
to enter into the service. If this wiseacre were
to rule that the point of muster is the place
where the indicted men assembled at call of
the draft board, his decision might be sup
ported by reason. Many thousands of the men
were mustered in hundreds of miles from home,
however, and large number of these will SUI
fer great inconvenience under this ruling. If
it is the intention ultimately to make the re-
turned soldier whole on his travel expenses by
reimbursing him for any deficiency amount in
his pay, the transaction might as we'll be made
one. and the full amount of travel pay to his
home allowed him at the start. 1t is not the
part of the United States government to be mig
gardy with the young men whose services it
requisitioned for the arduous business OF war,
but Treasury official is making it as hard as
possible for Uncle Sam to keep his end of the
bargain

EASTER: AND A NEW WORLDLY

Easter iuds world today smiling through
its tears, really looking up to new birth and
4 new life, Four times this supreme festival of
the Christian church has dawned on a world
drenched in blood, where the gospel OF love
seemed forgotten and the mandate, Bear we
one another's burdens" never to have been
heard. All the agencies OF evil were loosed
against mankind, and civilization fought des-
perately to defend its light that it might not
60 out under the weight of barbarsm incarnate
in the army of the Hun. In no war was the
Struggle of the spiritual against the material
so perfectly symbolized as in the mighty strug-
gle so lately over.
Justice and truth have trumphed, and might
will prevail again only when coupled with the
right. For this all nations are thankful.
Just as Easter typhes to the believer the re-
birth of the soul, the resurrection and the life
beyond the grave, so does the outcome of the
war exemplify and emphasize the promise long
held forth of world in which better way of
living will be the boon to all; world in which
the iron rule Of force will go down before that
of justice, and where the weak may stand erect,
conscious that no harm will follow on facing
the strong. For strength hereafter is to be used
to help and not to Cypress; the powerful ma
tons of the world will protect, and not devour
the lesser, and governments will set for their
peoples the example Of doing unto others only
the things they would have done unto them.
No Easter since the first has held more for
humanity than does the one we celebrate today.
Out of the dreadful night OF war the world has
come into the fuller light of better day, and
chastened and humble, men look with cleaner
faith to Him on High Who ruleth all. Sin and
sorrow will yet abide amongst us, for mankind
is not yet relieved of its frailtes and nhrmi-
ties, but they will be lessened, because of what
has taken place, and because of the high re-
solve the free peoples of the world have made
that they will, under God, be free forever.
SO a new world will swell the Easter chant
today, hymn OF true rejoicing
