A SURE ROAD TO PANIC

but the PLAIN, ordinary man of the street eau Zee On thing that
Is sure as guns non. And tht Is, that IL the railroads are precipt
taiely given back 10 the private companies there will ensue a panic
viatc.
And for this reason, which il plain as a pikestah. The wages of
railroad workers have been increased aud the sources OF railroad
revenue have not been increased. 80 thata high official of the New
Haven Railway, for instance. pointcdly expressed the situation when
he said that " She government Should hand back HIS railway TO his
company, "it would be- me for the tall timber"
And 1t Is not only the irFedurible wage fund that threatens, but
also the fact that in reality all the railroads of the United States
have been pooled, which means q reversal Of their former policies
and methods and the substitution of an entirely new business theory.
ed at once il will have had tim only 10 cause chaos. The uuserambl-
ing of eggs is AN art that neither statesmen nor hnanciers have
mastered.
The railroad companies represent the largest investment field ia
the country. Millions Of savings have been intrnted 90 il. It's stabh-
lty Is a matter of life and death To the business interests OF the milton.
II was a comparatively simple matter for the government TO take the
railroads into its hands, for such gigantic pooling contained little
dagger 80 long a. the government guaranteed the securities. The
federal power could do anything il pleased with these properties. be-.
cause II had behind Il the resources of the nation, with the right to
use such resources as 1t chose.
But who is going to guarantee dividends and profits and life

field of competiiong
The first thing that will happen is that everybody viii get scared,

list down with them. The result will be general catastrophe. The
insurance companies. banks colleges, and all institutions aud indivii-
uls with Invested funds will suffer.
This is nl an argument for permanent government control

United Front

Again has common national necessity o.
great and unusual moment had the beneficial eft
feet of tempering political disputes and drawing
men together. AS our entrance into the war
tended to adjourn factionalism, SO have the prob
lens of the soaring cost of living and industrial
unrest served to turn our national leaders from
discord into something like unity of purpose.
Dispatches from Washington bring the well
come news that Republicans and Democrats alike
are working for ways to check the rise in prices
The presidents suggestions are being considered
in the light of public interest only, and such OF
them as are possible of application will doubtless
be followed. Members of both the leading parties
take practically identical views of covert threats
of soviet rule of transportation and industry
There ought to be great measure of comfort
in all this for those Of who believe in sane, or
derby democratic government. Healthy differ
ences of opinion are to be expected in a govern
ment like ours. Parties are necessary, and rival
ry is the very breath of life to them. 1t is, then
very reassuring thing to find at a time when
party feeling is strong, that condition of affairs
bringing great economic discomfort to the coun-
try, not to mention danger, serves to unite our
representatives in Washington in solid front.
There will be no revolution in America. We
may modify our plan of doing things from time
to time, but only as the majority are willing. Our
national institutions shall not suffer violence.
We know all this to be true when we see men
in authority drop all the issues over which they
are at Odds in order to make common cause for
the public relief.
1t was great thing to discover, we did
during the war, that we can stand shoulder to
shoulder in an emergency. 1t was pleasant ex-
perience to do for while with minimum of
politics. 1t is good to know that in all vital mat
tiers all real Americans think pretty much alike.

Tito knew him; but he did not know
whether it was life or death that had
brought him into the presence of his
injured father. 1t might be death
and death might mean this chill
gloom with the face of the hideous
past hanging over him forever
But Baldassare's only dread was,
lest the young limbs should escape
him. He pressed his knuckles
against the round throat and knelt
uon the chest with all the force of his
aged frame. Let death come now!

Food Investigation Here

No harm can result from an investigation of
food price conditions here. The real benefit of
probe often does not lie in the prosecutions that
may follow but in the facts that are presented for
our study. Usually conditions are uncovered
which enable consumer, distributor and producer
to see where improvements can be made for
each of them
This holds true of the general investigation
which is being made the country over. Incorrect
methods of marketing are disclosed, faulty means
of distribution are unearthed, poor systems OF
buying by the housewife are revealed, and sug-
gestions for a closer cooperation of producer
distributor and consumer are made.
One cannot peruse the reports of investlga-
tions made everywhere without concluding that
the problem is big one and that all parties in
terested in it must correct methods If prices are
to tumble. An adjustment of a local case here
and there where injustice has been practlced
will lead to no lasting reform. A general read
tustment of the methods of distributing food
stuffs is necessary, and consumers must realize
that they cannot indulge in luxuries or riot IN ex-
penditures far beyond their means.
The prices for the necessities OF life must
never be allowed to attain a point where the av-
erape man is forced to slave long hours to obtain
enough money to keep body and soul together
On the other hand our craving for Injuries must
never reach the point where our failure to satisfy
II becomes cause for discomfort and unrest.

Everybody Busy

The Social Service Bureau, which is IN very
close touch with the charity problem OF Rich
mond, reports that there have been very few ap-
peals for help from persons who need aid to live.
This report should be a gratifying one to every
citizen of Richmond 1t shows that every one
who wants to work can find employment, and
that at price which enables him to live without
falling back on charity to bridge the chasm be-
tween his earning capacity and the cost OF the
necessities of life.
Where such conditions prevail, no one can
doubt the prosperity of the community. 1t pro-
