TIE RAILROAD Tx.

Announcement is made from WASH
ington that government operation OF
railroads will come within fifteen mil
lions of meeting government expenses
OF operation and government Suaran-
tees of pre- war profits for the roads
but way down toward the bottom OF
the news story is buried the admis-
sion that government operation OF nail
roads has increased the expense of
operation by a billion dollars and that
Increased freight rates and passenger
fares had not quite kept up with in
creased wages and expenses.
The people of the United States must
ray this extra billion of dollars in their
freight tax. Every car of hogs or OF
cattle that goes TO market and comes
back to other wage workers as meat
must nay 25 per cent more freight both
ways than it paid before. Every car
of coal coming to town. every car OF
flour and every shipment Of groceries
| from the WnOieSdle MUSE W the lctS1i'
store must pay this increased freight.
Every person who travels on railroad
must pay cents per mile instead Of
, cents which is an advance Of 80 per
cent in passenger fares.
The total increase in the railroad
tax upon the country during the past
year has been a billion dollars and
before the war the totai expenses for
running the United States government
were only billion dollars with all the
river and harbor Improvement graft
and $4,000 post office buildings in
Sun Dance. Wyoming included. This
is the tax all the people are paying that
per cent of the people on the railroad
pay rolls may draw twice and three
times the wages they could possibly
earn IN private industry.

KEEPING A PROMISE.

4 writer in a Philadelphia news
paper relates TWO incidents that came
under his observation. IN one an avn
ator who had lost a leg was trying to
get thru a revolving door. II was per-
fectly plain that he was d war cripple
as he was in uniform with his air
insignia plain to be seen:
Did anybody show him any defer
enCe because OF these obvious facts?
No. The tired business man elbowe1
and showed and hustled him without
conjunction. Nobody STOOD back and
said Let US give this man the right
of way. He Is hero
The other incident relates to the re-
adjustment of relations between the
enlisted soldier and the employment he
left to serve his country:
a soldier cane back and sought his
old place with one Of the commercial
establishments.
The proprietor had no. held it open
for him. Perhaps that would be too
much TO expect. -.
But when the young man made his
respectful representations. his old
boss" answered:
You didn't have to go; you yolun-
teered; you we're an easy mark and
they took you; YOU were a chump to
co. OF COURSE I filled your place at
once The vacancy exists no longer"
You were a chump to go!" The
man who said it stayed home and
pulled down the profits. The other fell
low went to the front and saved the
profiteers business and home and fam
lily from all the Kaiser meant when he
said to Gerard I'VE shall attend to
America next"
Those incidents occurred in Phila-
delphia- They apply to every city and
countryside large or small in the Unit
ed States. We cheered and promised
each and every one Of us who staid at

bonds for which - expect and know

GAS MOST VALUABLE AS FUEL
Comparatively Little Is Now Being
Used for the Purpess Of Giving d.
rect illumination.

Although gas is being used more
than ever before, its direct employ
ment for lighting is almost thing Of
the past. Our modern "gns lights" are
chiefly burners where. the light Is not
given put by the gas at all. 1t Is mixed
with mir to produce dim blue fiame
with great heating power. This flame
serves TO heat a mantle OF min
eral salts white hot, and it is this in
candescent mantle that gives the light.
Here the gas is used not for Its light.
but for It's heat: and ii Is as a fuel
that gas is now most valuable, says
the Literary Digest.
According to an address delivered
recently in England by President
Harry Jones Of the Institution OF Civ

gas output Is now used for direct IL
Elimination. so that the name "sas

thing Of q misnomer. The use OF gas
as fuel President Jones says, has re-
ceived special development during the
war. and the ready applicability Of gas
appliances to the rapid making Of mn
nitions in emergencies has made them
especially valuable. Mr.. Jones quoted
high Official Of the British war Office
a. follows:
"without the direct aid Of the gas
industry II would have been
perfectly impossible for this country
TO wage the campaign Of the last three
years. or even for any but a trifiinz
time resist the overwhelming foods OF
enemies that were poured upon If.

Of the manufacture and production Of

to realize my absolute dependence on

Rlamea lurlsaon for Defeat.

The principal cause for discomfort
has been as largely In the Democratic
ranks rs In the Republican, and Is con-
fined largely To- what may he described
as Burlesonlsm. In butt headedness
and impracticality that ism Is as much
Mo be avoided and dreaded as In Boil
shevlsm. The Postmaster General OF
President Wilson's selection has done
more than any individual connected
with the Administration to discredit
the Democrats and bring down upon
them defeat. He came To his position
with the determination to revolutionize
the theory and practice Of the post
office department. and declared that II
must be put upon a lf-sustaining
basis--must be commercialized above
service.
II was most important. during the
war especially, that the people OF the
United States should be kept i'm the
closest and most intimate relationship
thru communication The periodi-
calls and journals admitted to the mails
at second class rates were the ones
looked to and used by every depart
ment OF the government 10 perform
this service. And yet Mr. Burleson
and Mr.. Hardwick chose that time as
the particular moment at which to
strike and disrupt the entire organiza-
ton OF publications and subscribers by
making necessary the increases in sub
scription rates.
f1fty-seven congressman who yo.ed
for the Burleson- Hardwick measure
have passed to the discard. This re-
pudiatton by the voters may not have
been due entirely to their assininity on
this question. but il was probably used
as fair index Of their capabilities as
statesmen on general matters. Mr.
Burleson is destined Ia go into history
unsung and unmourned. May we not
see his like again.-Macon Telegra ph.
