REV. WESLEY AND MRS.
WILKINSON REPORTED WED

News has come to town that Rev.
W. P. Wesley and Mrs. Wilkerson are
married. Mr.. Yesley was pastor of
the local Christian church for up
wards of two years and Mrs. Wilkin-
son only recently sold the Commercial
Hotel and was supposed to have gone
to Colorado on a visit. Mr.. Wesley
left the passionate Of the church in
September.
Considerable interest is attached to
the wedding from the fact that Mrs.
Wilkinson's husband has been dead
OILY since June and Mr.. Wesley made
his home at the hotel both before and
after Mr.. Wilkinson's death. The
wedding is reported to have happened
the 10th of last month. That is short
ly after Mrs. Wilkinson sold the hotel
and left presumably for Colorado
Mrs. Wilkinson received $11 900 as in
surance on the life Of Mr.. Wilkinson
and sold the hotel for $1,000 more

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
COULD BE MADE TO PAY

Those who think that government
ownership of railroads has had fair
test have another think coming. We
fail to conceive what quality Of intel
ligence one possesses who says that
the war time control of roads proves
government ownership would be u
failure.
Besides increasing the pay roll, the
government paid leasage or rental
TO the s.ochhoiuers and owners of the
road, and maintained it in better shape
than it was maintained under private
ownership. During the war, most of
the rolling stock was used in moving
troops and war materials, so that nc
comparison of that time and it's pol
icy is comparable to peace time opera
ton.
If the government owned the roads
there would be no lease or rent to pay
and the millions made by private own
ers could be absorbed in raising wag-
es and lowering rates, and the roads
could be maintained and kept renewed
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1919-11-21

as cheaply as under private owner
ship, provided ALL GRAFT WAS
KEPT OUT. No advocate of private
ownership is ready, we are sure, to
say there would necessarily be graft
in the government, and he would have
that to prove.
Just now, we hear, a concrete Ear
gument' CD is being made by the
haps all--against government owner
ship by unnecessarily increasing the
cost of operation under government
control by making improvements"
wherever possible, and It's said often
where not needed. Just last week we
had this information from a railroad
man, who said he could cite us to the
proof, if we desired it. Now, to avoid
unjust suspicion we will state said
railroad man is not connected with
any railroad here, nor does he reside
in Dexter. We say this because some
times a railroad will make an en-
ploye sweat for giving such informa-
ton to the press. For this reason we
name of our informant.
This witness states that expenses
are being increased just now in va
rious ways. One is that what he es-
Inmates at about 5000 for each section
is being spent in putting black oil on
the angle bars of the rails, which is
Of no earthly use as the first rain
washes it off and leaves the rail as it
was before the oil was applied, the
only reason for it as he saw was to
increase expenses and make an argu-
ment against government ownership.
The same party also states that
trestles almost as good as new, are
being torn out and good, sound timber
burnt, and replaced with new while
lumber is now at top prices, when the
former plan of the roads was to re-
move just the certain timbers that
were decaying, and it was rare that
new trestle had to be entirely re-
built once in twenty years, and some
he knew We're not two years old and
yet had been entirely rebuilt.
If this condition is general through
out the United States, one can readily
see why it is that the government is
seemingly spending more to operate
TIC iOduo Iildu "ao oPPulShsiy oPShc
under private ownership.
The Statesman is not stating such
conditions as stated obtain, or that
such things have been done as report
ed, but this comes to US from one
who enjoys our confidence, we believ-
ing him to be honest beyond question,
and if what he states is half true the
government is being mulct, and should
start the widest investigation of the
doings of those who have direct
charge of affairs.
1t will be remembered that while
the government has virtual control of
the roads, yet it has left the operation
in large sense in the hands OF men
who are financially interested in the
road they operate for the govern
ment, and one can readily see that if
the men in charge of direct operation
of affairs on the roads are minded,
and SO lacking in moral sensitiveness,
| they could do such things as stated
and at one and the same time put their
their road in good shape at the ex-
pense of the government and make a
strong argument against public own
ership.
| This matter will bear investigation,
and for the purpose of arousing such
we have said this much.--Dexter
| Statesman.
