The Rails Revive.

Long neglected rail stocks smashed
Their way to the front yesterday under
activity which whrled prices rapidly
forward and eliminated In one of the
broadcst markets of the year. The
movement started in the slippery rails
those that have come into recent prom
inence through ownership OF oil proper
ties. Texas and Pacific started the
movement on announcement that a con-
tract had been awarded for the explora-
ton for oil Of it's Ranger field properties.
But from the oll-rail stocks the move
ment branched out to the standard rails,
and with the exception OF Southern Pa
cihc. which was depressed by heavy
liquidation, all of them advanced from
to points. Buying had been steady
all day in the rails. and in the late after
noon increased its pace. as shorts were
driven in. At the close the ticker was
eight minutes behind the market. Union
Pacific, Reading. Northern Pacific. New
Haven and Central OF the standard group
all made moderate advances. Texas and
Pacific. Missouri. Kansas and Texas and
st. Louis and Francisco. all expected to
heneflt by oil deals, advanced even fur
ther.

FOR certain facts which stand out promi-

revolving funds be made Immediately
available and that the roads then Will
be able to collect back rentals due them.

Charles h. Mitchell of the National CITY

suggested that the roads be returned to
private operation. but that the Govern

ing the roads the voluntary choice OF
being relieved OF 'this contract when

whole movement in rails yesterday. Of
course. was the fact that they are COM
pletely out OF line with the industrials
and that their upward movement can
be used conveniently as a cover for

The Railroad Investors League con-
siders that investors in railroad stocks
and bonds-the people who really own
the railroads-aTe standing by silently
while lots are being cast for their gar
ments and proposes to do something
about II when Congress ccConvenes. In
a circular urging cooperative action on
the part OF individual holders OF stocks
and bonds It recalls that railroad exec
utves, shippers, la Dor. bankers and econ
omists without number have presented
plans as to what should be done with
the properties, but THAI the investors
themselves have not been heard from.
The league says II has no plan OF its
own to advance, but states the follow
ing principles. on which ii believes amy
solution Of the problem satisfactory to
the holder OF railroad stocks and bonds
must rest: % Return of the railroads,
within reasonable length of time, TO

ship and operation under close Govern

REV. IsAAcs SCORES.

The announced policy of DR..
John B. Isaacs the new pastor of
Allen Chapel to establish a bud
get system which shall take
care of all the. financial obliga-
tions of Allen Chapel including;
dollar money, assessments, pas
tors salary, trustees expenses,
janitor's service and all the var
lou bills and obligations of the
Church, meets the hearty ap-
proval Of the thinking members
of Allen Chapel and should
prove an instantaneous success.
One of the things that has dis
gusted hundreds of members
and worshippers at Allen has
been the crOwding and group
ing around the altar largely for
show to pay class dues on Sun
day morning, when by a little
energy, these class dues could
be collected during the week.
or better still they could have
been placed in the envelope
along with the other contribu-
tion and all that nonsical, vain
glorious and foolish parading
and destruction of the solem-
nifty Of the service could have
been avoided. Happily, under
the new system promulgated by
the aggressive pastor, this viii
all be a thing of the past and
now when one leaves Allen at
the close Of the service. he will
have no other impression upon
his mind end heart than the
ringing words of Gospel truth as
eXpounded by our intelligent and
progressive pastor. The Sun
heartily joins DR.. Isaacs in this
truly timely and sensible re-
form.

said there was no hope for recovery,
and fully conscious with an impress
sive prayer upon his lips, he passed
away Thursday night at 7:30 in the
presence of that God that he had
served so acceptably during his min
isterial career. Mr.. Campbell was a
man OF commanding appearance,
standing about six feet two, vigorous
and healthy and a splendid worker
for his organization which he had
built up until it has membership
of 500 here in the city. Only the
Sunday before he had delivered a
meeting services at st. Johns
Church and had received many COM
pliments on it's excellence.
Rev. Campbell was engaged in the
building of a new Church for his
congregation and had expressed great
hopes for the future, but fate had
ordained that it was not to be. His
aged father came from Georgetown,
Miss, to take the body back to the
old home for burial and assisted by
the Ministerial Alliance and the
Woodmen and his many friends and
congregation, the body left last
Thursday for its final resting place.
No clue to the murderer has been
obtained as yet but many believe
that time will unravel the mystery
and that this wanton murderer will
be brought to justice. The territory
around 18th street is becoming both
unsavory and dangerous and the best
citizens of the race for the safety of
themselves and their families must
enlist the services of the city and
state authorities and proceed to clean
up the crooked element that infest
various sections of our city.

On Thanksgiving day the members of
this organization sent committee

five happy little folks whom they
bundled up in comfortable wraps and
set out for the Second Christian
church where a Thanksgiving dinner
was served to them at the expense of
this lodge. At Allen Chapel another
committee from this lodge accompan-
led by several members of the Daugh-
ters Temple furnished dinner to about
twenty-five old folks. This organiza-
tion of men feel that there is a great
deal of this kind of work in Kansas
City to be carried on and they will al
ways be found willing to do their

Don't get the impression that your

fast and determined effort to weed out

blessings to be grateful for. The
production of one of the Nations
crops, the continued prosperity
throughout the country, with work
for everybody is thing to be thank
ful for. LET us be thankful for the
prayers, whose gracious answers
were long, long delayed, that they
might fall upon US unaware and bless
us as in greater need we prayed"
Let us not be unmindful of the

WHY NOT BE KIND?

By Katherine d. Tillman.
Why not be kind, life is not long;
You who are great and wise and
strong,
Down to the weaker ones about,
Send a stream of kindness gushing
out?
Why not give cheer, life is not long,
Give to the weak a cheering song,
Give to the lame friendl! hand,
And help them again on their feet to
stand?
Why not give love, life is not long,
To all sad hearts and lives gone
wrong?
Why not give love as the Master gave
When He came upon earth world to
save?
For do you not think it may be
The homes we build for eternity,
Are buit of the kindness, cheer and
love
Our lives send on to the realms
above?
While the earth-house in our foolish
pride,
And our wealth at last to be cast
aside,
1t keeps US from feeling our broth
er's care,
May sink our souls in a dark despair?
