William E. Southland, the hero of Torcy,
was in Rockland Immediately preceding
his service in the world war with the

at that time. At the banquet rendered to
Col. Southard as division commander by
Anderson Camp, Sons Of Veterans, and

was present as the toastmaster of the

Col. Southard looked strangely familiar

4 Problem Calling for United Effort.

- VV00t0bU SoI1U8 vVt SVsVS e"S'"
The railroads, which the venture
some built, which investors paid for,
which manipulators manipulated,
which government nearly regulated
to the scrap heap. which Government
later took over and muddled: rail-
roads, on which the prosperity Of the
country depends, their fate is now on
the hands Of Congress.
1t is needless to suggest that Con-
gress has some" job, or that 1t
should have in so far as possible, the
utmost cooperation Of all concerned,
and that means all Of us.
II the railroads are to endure and
do their work the million stockhold-
ers must have their legitimate hold
ings protected, the employees must be
paid an adequate wage, the investor
must be induced to loan the money
needed to put the roads in good con-
dition-they are sadly in need of it
rates must be permitted which shall
make the roads self sustaining; per-
mission should be given whereby the
advantages developed by centralized
management may be continued.
Surely Congress has the seemingly
impossible to Nrform. The railroad
employees are demanding the privilege
Of tying up transportation whenever
they may choose to do so: investors
are reluctant to put their money into
railroads: some who have been get
ting comparatively low freight rates
because the government is making up
the deficits from taxes object to rates
which would be adequate, and alto
sether the problem is calling for the
sanest judgment and the most con-
scientious consideration.
1t is gratifying to note that public
men are recognizing the need of the
best. The Presidents decision to
continue government control until
March first is in line with this. The
debates in Congress. the House and
the Senate bills, both afford evidence
Of serious purpose and straight
thinking. This. in our opinion, may
not be said respecting the attitude OF
labor in opposing any regulation
guaranteeing protection of the roads
in performing necessary functions
The Plumb bill was not regulation
but confiscation.
That the railroads should be made
passable at all times is as necessary
AS the maintenance of the Other
highways. No one would question
calling out the troops to keep them
clear were that necessary. Why
should anyone question the ability OF
the government to train troops in the
running of railroads and hold them
in readiness to do that very thing
should occasion arise? Many would
question the doing Of that short OF
absolute need, and more would regret
The necessity of it. Do the brother
hoods intend to make that necessary:

HuIIo

(By the late Sam Walter Foss.)
When you see man in woe,
Walk straight up and say "Hullo"
Say :'Hullo" and How dye do?
How's the world been using you?"
Slap the fellow on his back.
Bring your hand down with a w;lack.
Walk straight UP and don't go slow,
Shake his hand and say ''Hullo."
Is he clothed in rags? Oh, no,
Walk straight up say. 'Hullo!"
Rags are but cotton roll
just for wrapping up a soul:
And soul is wort, Il true
Hale and hearty. How dye do:"
Don't wait for the crowd to go,
Walk straight UP and say "HulIo.'
When big vessels meet. they say.
They salute and sail away:
Just the same as you and me.
Lonely ships upon the sea.
Each one sailing his own jog
For port beyond the fog,
Let your speaking trumpet blow.
Lift your horn and cry. "Hullo!'
Say "HullO!" and How dye do
Other folks are good as you.
When you leave your house of clay.
Wandering in the far away,
When you travel through the strange
Country far beyond the range,
Then the souls you've cheered wi,
Who you be, and say "Hullo.."

Emma's Error.
(The Columbia State)

Emma Goldman says that in the
coming revolution in America, to
which she is fondly looking forward,
there will be no bloodshed if the rul-
ing class make no resistance. That
is a mistake on Emma's part. Boil
sheviki do not spare the unresisting;
indeed, they do not spare each other.
Thousands of Soviet leaders have
been executed in Russia. A revolu-
.tion in which there was no blood
would appeal to a Red" just about
as much as a Sunday school picnic
would have appealed to Nero. He
would find no kick in it.
