There is, of course, no law to prevent
any of those who wall about our con-
tinued duty TO stricken Europe to
spend their money That way or to
send their sons to fight with our

us that the time has arrived when the

An intelligent Russian, II years o

An intelligent Russian, II years Of
age, confessed ultra anarchist now
awaiting deportation at Ellis island,
told the authorities that he obtained
his education in radicalism at the
New York public library. While this
is no proof that he did, it goes to show
that too much care cannot be taken in
selecting public library books and in
'scrutinizing those which are donated,
t&for propaganda lurketh in places
where it is the least expected.

A Washington newspaper dispatch
says: "The government has renewed
its campaign to purge the nation of
radicals who are urging its over
Sthrow.." The words renewed its cam
paign" are significant as they go to
show that the campaign was relin-
eouished, otherwise it could not be re
newed. Now the question arises why
there was a cessation in the roundup
! of anarchists and other reds when il
was ronce commenced. Verify, the
modus operandi Of the department. Of

The Turning Back of the Railroads.
The American railroads are sched-
uled to be turned back to their owners
at the end of this month. Government
operation has piled up their operating
expenses, has cut down their traffic,
has cleaned out their treasures and
has left them, or great majority of
them, powerless to do their work of
transporting the people and the bust
ness of the United States. As matters
stand today, in truth, the American
railroads face going back-the good,
the bad and indif broke.
And railways cannot operate without
cash any more than they can operate
without coal. Either the roads must
go back to their owners in the new
year with some government provision.
for paying their bills or they must
break down. IF the American railway
system breaks down American indus
try and American business must break
down with it. The American bread
and butter will be at stake. Congress-
has mo more important work to do for
the nation in the next few days than
to save the American railway system
from bankruptcy. In it's immediate
consequences nothing else could be so
important. Until a permanent plan:
can be worked out for the railroads
congress must provide the financial,
means to keep them operating. This
first aid to the roads cannot wait.

Of Labor, who assumed the role of
Chairman islillNllH.
The President told the assemblage
that he was trying to do months
work in a week, and for that reason
must ask to be excused from taking
more active part in the conference.
From what he had seen on the other
SIDE" he said, he felt that the United
States was more fortunate than other
nations respecting the problems the
Conference would consider. While
American industries had been dis
turbed and disorganized, he remarked
that they had not been affected so
seriously as had those of the nations
he had visited in Europe, so he
thought we should approach these
problems with great deal OF conf
dence.

astically Secretary Wilson's remarks,
