URGES
 SENATE HASTEN
 RAILROAD. BILL
DECLARES THAT TWO-THIRDS OF COUNTRY'S RAILROADS WILL GO INTO HANDS OF RECEIVER UNLESS HIS MEASURE IS MADE INTO LAW.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 15.- R - Alarmed at the opposition that threatens to delay if not actually de- feat his pet scheme for solving the country's railway problem. Senator Cummins, republican of Iowa, came to the defense of the measure. and urging the senate to take immediate favorable action on it, declaring that failure to pass the bill would throw two-thirds of the railroads of the United States into the hands of re- ceivers in less than 30 days after they were returned to their owners. The argument of the senator appar- ently failed to meet any of the ob- jections of the opposition senators who include prominent members of his own party and it is still predict ed that no action will be had on the measure until after the holiday re- cess when leaders of the party say that they will be able to muster sui ficient strength to pass it.
 The railroads are to revert to priv ate ownership and control on Jan uary l. 1920. Unless the Cummins' bill is enacted, or other Legislation to that effect, it will be impossible for the roads to make the advances in rates which they assert is abso- lutely necessary to meet the radically increased cost of operation resulting from higher wages to employees of all classes and higher markets upon which they must make their pur- chases. The opposition to the Cum mins' bill is fighting it on the ground that these increased costs will be taken out of the general public under such a measure and will result in further increase to the present high cost of living.

COM MUNlTY MUSIC.

John Ruskin, who had more beauti-
full thoughts per page than almost any
other writer or prose, said:
Everyone should listen to good
music several minutes every day"
Music is a language. Through it we
express and receive thoughts which
cannot be resolved into words.
Anything good is in line with pro-
gress. AS we advance, the trend is
toward refining influences.
Music ranks topmost among the
things that uplift and exalt. 1t reaches
within and fetches forward the gentil-
ity and nobility all of us know is here.
Every community should have its
musical organization supported by civic
funds. This organization should have
every assistance and cooperation to
perfect it, to increasingly develop pub :
lie interest in the world of harmon
ious sweet sounds so little known and
appreciated.
The members of this orchestral so.
ciety might instruct the unsteady in
clined and devote the tuition fees to-
ward additional concerts and student
recitals.
An evening of good music is like
having someone read book to you
jmpersonating its characters. 1t dc
7elops the creative part OF your mind
You translate sounds into thoughts

pressions. Your imagination takes bit
Il teeth and runs off with you in a
