Forgot What He Needed.

From the Republican, Mt Giliad,
Ohio:
The editor had an interesting ex-
perience some time ago, when a
young gentleman came into this office
and asked for a copy of the Marrow
County Republican. He scrutinized
it carefully when a copy was handed
him. and then said: Now | know"
What is it you are looking for" we
inquired my wife sent me a bottle
of Chamberlain Cough Remedy. and
| forgot the name. ! went to several
stores and the clerks named over ev-
erything in the line on the shelf ex-
cept chamberlain I'll try again.
and I'll never go home without

Republican would suggest to the pro-
prietors of stores. that they post their
clerks, and never let them substitute.
Customers lose faith in stores where
is permitted. to say moth
ing of the injustice to makers of good
goods and the Disappointment of Gus

dividual opinion differs as to the pro-

way, and not to displaying it other
wise; that for purposes of decoration
only the national colors.

RAILROADS WILL Be
RETURNED To OWNERS
Government Control Proves
Disastrous To All
Concerned.

Washington, March 22,-Railroads
OF this country will be turned back
to their owners before the end of the
year. IL the President takes the ad-
vice of some of the most intimate ad-
visers; and there is good reason to
believe that he will return from Eu-
rope prepared to issue the necessary
proclamation without undue delay
and without waiting for congress to
act upon the question.
1t became known here today that
most of those officials upon whom
the President leans for guidance In
railroad matters are agreed that the
time is near when transportation sys-
TEN must again be placed in private
hands; that to prolong Government
operation of the roads would be a
blunder. and that the President be
acquainted at once with the impor-
lance of the action. II is not at all
unlikely that this advice already has
been transmitted to him in Paris.
The chances are, If the President
accepts this view-and that now
seems certain-that the delivery of
the properties to the railroad cor
porations will come about around DC
tober or November. These were the
months mentioned to-day in discus
sions of the matters which have taken
place among Administration officials.
Director General Hines, himself,
when before congressional commit
tees in connection with the proposal
to extend the period of Government
control five years, said that If Con-
gress did not order this. he would
recommend that the roads be sur
rendered by the Government this
fall"

The Senate and the Peace Treaty.

CUES. What course would be like
ly to be or could be pursued IL the
peace treaty which is now being ne
gotiated should not be ratified by the
U. S. Senate?-Ans. If senate refus
ed to ratify pact as presented to it
and if notifications could not be
made to meet its objections U. S. of
course would not become signatory
to it. Allies might then sign it with
out U. S. or it might be abandoned
altogether for different one.
