Government Ownership of Railroads

One of the most important questions that now con-
front the country Isl "Who shall have control OF the rail-
roads?"
It would be highly beneficial to the country as
whole to have the railroads owned by the United States
government If the government had control of the rail-
roads it would be able charge much lower rates to the
public because it would not find it necessary to make
any profits the roads The fact that the government
would not pay such enormous salaries to the heads Oh
the railroads would decrease the cost Of running tnem
The government has always paid its working men pet
ter salaries than private concerns pay their men, lhere
fore the men working the railroads under
control would better living. Another important re-
suit of government ownership would be this In case
there should be food shortage, the government would
be able to relieve this condition by shipping food over the
railroads to that section of the country where the short
age existed.
MANY European countries have taken over the con-
troll of their railroads with great success. There mas
never been time when the United States government
has failed any enterprise which has undertaken and
why should this case be exception?

BOSTON AGAIN is
SEEKING MILK HERE
Trying to Make Up for the Shortage
Caused by Transfer of Product to
Springfield Concern.

A representative of the Whiting milk
concern III Boston has been working in
Wmdham county the past week in an eff
fort to obtain milk for shipment to Bos-
ton TO replace in some measure the short
age caused In that market by the transfer
Get. to Springfield, Mass, of the supply
of 90 producers in this section, a supply
of 1900 quarts day Through the work
of the representative during the past few
days it is learned that they are especially
anxious to hold as much as possible of
the product. As yet, however, only a
small number of producers and those all
of small quantity shipment-have decided
to return to the Boston market.
The Whiting interests have provided
transportation by providing box car,
which is understood to be moving daily
from Brattleboro to Bellows Falls with
out ice or earetaker The quantity nf
milk which this car is carrying each day
is said to be about 25 cans of the 20
quart size. This, according to the Farm
Bureau, probably does not represent
sufficient quantity to warrant contin-
ued movement of the car, and number
of producers who are impatient at the
progress of the Springfield scheme have
not resumed shipping to Boston because
of the extreme probability that the car
will not continue to run

CAPT. DAN O'NEILL
IN BRATTLEBORO
Former Local Boy Has Long and Va
ried Experience in Regular Army
FIRST Visit in II Years.

Capt. Dan O'Neill of the u. s. army,
who formerly was proprietor of the
barber shop in the old Brattleboro
House, IS guest at the Brooks House,
making his first visit to Brattleboro
IN II years. After the Spanish Ameri-
can war was declared he served as
private in Company | of Brattleboro,
IN the lst Vermont regiment at Chick
amauga, and shortly after the war
ended he and Michael Sherry of Brat
tleboro enlisted in the United States
army. They went to the Philippines
with the famous 9th regiment, which
took part in many engagements.
Later they accompanied the regi-
ment when the allied troops entered
China to relieve the beleaguered lega-
tions in Pekin The two Brattleboro
boys fought at TienTsin, where Col.
Liscum, a Vermonter who commanded
the 9th regiment, was mortally wound
ed, and O'Niell was one of those who
carried the colonel from the field in a
dying condition. He was with the
troops when they entered Pekin.
Capt. O'Neill re-enlisted after re-
turning to this country, and he has
served continuously since then. His
total service has been 81 years, of
which seven and half were in for
eign service, for which he is credited
with double time. In a year and a
half more he will be credited with 80
years service, which will entitle him
to retire on a pension for life.

CONGRESS CAN'T
ADJOURN VERY SOON
Senator Lodge Wants Treaty Finished
at Special Session-Much Legis-
lation Must Wait.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1s.-Adjourn-
mcnt of the special session of congress
on or about November 10 was asked
yesterday of Senator Lodge Mass J.,
majority leader. by Representative
Mondel (Wyo.), house Republican lead
er.
Senator Lodge s reply was that he
did not believe the senate could finish
the treaty and clear up other pressing
matters that should be disposed of at
the special session by that time As
the result of the conference Mr. Mon
dell and other house leaders are now
talking of November % as the date.
Senator Lodge indicated that it was
too early to make any plans for ad-
iournment because of the treaty sit
uation. He is strongly opposed to any
plan that would delay final action on
the treaty until the regular session
which convenes December /.
Mr. Mondells request indicates that
congressional leaders practically have
given up hope of acting on the many
important domestic questions at the
special session. Railroad legislation, it
is now virtually certain, must 90 over
to the regular session, as well as the
permanent marine policy, army and
navy reorganization and other impor-
tant problems. The house interstate
commerce committee viii not have It's
bill before the house until about No
vember /, and the army reorganization
bill could not be presented until late
in November. The merchant marine
programme is far from being in the
form of a definite bill.
Sentiment in both houses of congress
undoubtedly is for an adjournment as
soon as the peace treaty is disposed of
! and few bills considered pressing are
! passed.
