RAILROAD BILL PASSED
Anti-Strikc Provision is Retained in
3ill. Which Goes to Conference


Bill, Which Goes to Conference
The Cummins bill, paving the way
for return of the railroads to pri-
vate operation, passed the Senate
late Saturday by vote of 46 to 80,
ending a prolonged discussion of the
measure and making the holiday re-
cess of Congress possible.
1t went through without change
in the antistrike and other impor-
tant provisions around which the
Senate measure was drawn, and was
sent to conference for adjustment
during the recess with the Esch bill,
passed by the House November II.
Final enactment cf the permanent
railroad reorganization legislation is
hoped for by leaders early next
month.
The ultimate disposition Of the
railroad problem, however still IS
in doubt, as the Senate and House
bills will be in conference and.
Congress in recess on January l.

Wilson for the return of the lines &c.
their owners. No further word re-
garding his present intentions
reached Congress before adjourn

LAMAR CHAUTAUQUA
The 1919 Season Proves a Great Sue
cess and Contract Made for the
1920 Season in Central
Location.

The 1919 chautauqua closed on Mon
day evening with the largest crowd o.
the season, the tent being packed to
the limit to see the comedy, ut Pays
to Advertise" 1t was fitting close
for q program Of entertainments that
have continually drawn large audiences
in spite Of the mistake now apparent Of
getting q location clear out of town.
The success has been such that the
committee closed contract for next
seasons six day program without any
trouble, and it was unanimously agreed
that q central location would be secur-
ed for the big tent. The chautauqua
patrons were more enthusiastic over
this years program than ever before
and all are ready to back up the COM
mittee in its guarantee for 1920.
One pleasing difference from previ-
Gus seasons was that while it is a fix
ed fact that the Lamar chautauqua
will bring q rain, this time the ram
did not commence until a few hours
after the close 30 did not Inconvenience
the patrons. As q rain bringer alone
the chautsuqua is worth all its costs

To Put in the ScrapbOOk.

For the benefit of persons who ride
the admirable hobby of the scrapbook,
we take pleasure in reprinting one
paragraph from n speech made in
Washington two years ago today by
President Wilson:
at is plain enough how we were
forced into war. The extraordinary
insults and aggressions of the lmper-
ial German Government left us no self
respecting choice of our rights as a
free people and of our honor as a
foreign government"
| In a well conducted scrapbook, and
particularly one that is devoted to lit
erary curiosities, the paragraph quot
ed should be pasted from the same Mr.
Wilson such as one that attributed
Americas entry into the war to wish
to uphold ''human rights and justice;"
or the one that declared that 81 have
uttered as the objects of this great war
ideals, and nothing but ideals;" or the
one that insisted that our soldiers
went over there not to glorify Amer
lea but to serve their fellowmen."
The date of the clipping should be
carefully written in indelible ink. The
person who finds the scrapbook in an
attic a hundred years from now may
find it hard to believe that two years
could bring about such change in
one mans Interpretation of nations
perfectly simple motives.
One paragraph in the address of
President Wilson to the Belgian people
is of particular interest to the collect
or and collator of Wilsoniana:
81 am happy at the opportunity to
visit a nation which defended the bar
riers of civilization under the most
crushing difficulties"
The collector and collator instantly
remembers a paragraph from an ap-
peal issued by Mr.. Wilson on August
20, 1914, two weeks after the Prus-
sian had begun his unspeakable work
in Belgium:
81 venture, therefore, my country
men, to speak a solemn word of warn
ing to you against that deepest, most
essential breach of neutrality which
may spring out of partianship, out of

Beat Us To II.

While Lamar has long been agitat-
ing the question Of street paving We
have laid down on the job long enough
to enable Garden City to beat us to
the real leadership Of the valley towns
In that line. The city commissioners
there have voted $3.50, 900 in bonds for
paving several Of the principal streets,
and contracts for district comprising
nearly thirty thousand yards of paw
ing and costing over 100000 have
been let. II the work had been under
taken here at the time it was first
agitated by the Y. NJ. B. A., the larger
part Of Main street would already be
paved and at cost fully one-third
less than it can possibly be done now.

Still Uplifting

Dispatches from Oklahoma state that
Henry Starr has entered into a con-
tract with q movie company to act as
hero in q series of uplift pictures.
Henry has starred before, it is said,
in several dramas where men were up
lifted clear out Of this mortal sphere,
and SO the role will come natural to
him. Probably Tom lyman will be in
1t to take credit for the conversion OF
Henry, and as he never held up more
than two dozen banks after taking a
courae Of Toms reform lessons, il
may be that he is entitled to the cred
it. Ben Lindsey claims them on less
excuse than that, and Tom is almost
as good an advertiser as Ben.

Considered as whole, the war debt
will be found to stimulate industries
as soon as we can escape the enorm-
Gus war taxes.
The debt in the form of liberty and
victory loan bonds is an expansion OF
capital or credit on large scale.
But it will not move freely into in
dustrial development until such ven
lures are assured of chance to earn
more than the traditional four to SIX
per cent.

National Debt As an Asset.

Our 25 billions of national debt are
looked upon by many clear thinkers as
an additional asset of capital.
For instance if business man has
$25 900 in property he hesitates to
mortgage it to start business or an
industry.
But if he has s25OO or $4,000 in ma
tional war bonds he can use them as
o basis of capital almost as readily as
SO much cash.
