THE RAILROAD CASE

Hon. Robert NJ. Wooley. member or
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
points out that the return OF the rail-
roads to their owners at the present
per cent in freight and passenger rates
This is. Of course, only a recognition
Of the bankrupt conditions into which
the railroads have been brought by gov
ernment operation, an acknowledgement
Of the enormous increase in expenses
without any corresponding increase Of
productive capacity.
The railroad problem is. undoubtedly,
the most perplcxing one that arises from
the war The business Of the country
demands that the railroads be made
more efficient, and the further develop
mcnt Of our natural resources will re-
quirr much new railroad building. The
only sound solution OF the railroad prob
lem Is return to something like normal
operating conditions and normal costs.
The fact might as we'll be faced honestly
and sincerely. When the railroads are
allowed to apply TO their business the
ordinary methods that are used by efh-
cicnt business mon. to cooperate to save
waste and to cut out duplication: when
they are allowed TO pay a fair price for
labor and 10 buy in an unrestricted mar
ket. the railroad business may be TO-
stored to something like prosperity.
Transportation is a public necessity.
our great railroad sycStcms are as es-
scntial to the welfare OF Tho country as
tn arteries ard veins which carry the
blood through the human body. The
practical wrccking Of the railroads by
ambitious politicians mas ban thu

THE KNOX PROPOSALS

III hNOA AVA
TIL. Knox resolution. designed to rut
49,, S.rorc Of tho United States on rec
ord as against the p"a"" treaty, incIuH-
inr m. covenant IF tn" I.eagu" Of Ma
,,ors. states a fact which might we'll
hav,, been taken into consideration by
prcs,J,n, Wilson ut the beginning OF
the peace negotiations. namely. that IN"
making Of peace with Germany and the
formation OF a permanent League of Ma
tons are entirely different things. and
should b. considered at different times
and under different conditions. ThH
prime purpose of tho Versailles council
should have been to create peace condl-
tons, and the way 70 bring about peace
Is, Of course. simply by the ending OF
war. The IntclliGrnccr has been inclined
TO believe from the first that the League
Of Nations was not at all essential for
the mixing az a permanent and satisfac-
tory peace between the warning nations.
However, Mr.. Wilson and his advisors
have taken an entirely different view OF
the matter and have written the cove
nant Of the League of Nations into tn"
treaty Of peace. How that covenant can
be rejected without rejecting the peace
treaty and involving this country in
complications, perhaps more serious than
we anticipate. is difficult to sec. nor is
the manner Of the formation Of tho
League Of Nations so important as the
fact of Its formation. Let rs grant that
the subject might we'll have been con-
sidered separate and apart from the
treaty itself. Does that fact justify the
rejection Of the treaty and tho rejection
Of the covenant. now that they have been
coupled together and have been agreed
upon by responsible authorities?
The Intelligencer does not believe that
It does.
AS a result Of the war there have
come into being a large number OF small
states in Central and Eastern Europe.
For many years these states must have
the guardianship and protection OF
stronger countries. Otherwise they VIII
eventually become tho economic prey ard
the political satellites Of either Germany
or Russia By our part in the war we
helped bring these states into being.
and we cannot now release ourselves
from the responsibility for their wei
fare. We can best discharge that re-
| sponsibility through some kind Of a
world understanding. such as Is repre-
sented in the League Of Nations. More
over. we have an obligation TO humanity
which we cannot fulnll by withdrawing
ourselves into our shell and separating
! ourselves from world affairs. II tho IN
fuonce Of this great republic IS to be
exercised for peace, It can only be done
| through association with other great
powers and through keeping in intimate
touch with the development Of world
questions. and no better instrument for
this purpose can be, or will be, devised
than the voluntary association Of the en-
| lightcned, free and liberal countries OF
che Garth. hating war, loving peace and
| united to maintain IT

from Camp Gordon. These young men
before leaving Camp Wheeler were
transferred to the headquarters COM
pany Of the 124th Infantry, and with
it went to France, arriving some time
in October. Before the regiment could
reach the firing line, the armistice
was signed, which TO their great re-

A Single Remedy Often Cures
Many Diseases
BY VALENTINE MOTT, MD.

It is almost impossible to give list OF
the endless diseases that follow indigestion.
Perhaps whole column In this newspaper
would be required to print them all You
eat to keep alive-to supply blood and flesh
and bone and muscle and brains 1t is easy
to see that if your food is not digested and
taken up by the delicate organs and dis
tributed where it Is needed, disease Of
some sort is sure to come. Dyspepsia IS a
common symptom, and so are liver COM
plant, loss of flesh, nervousness, bad
memory, dizziness, sleeplessness, no appe-
tite Many times, when neglected, indi-
Cestioa results In coughs, throat diseases,
catarrh, bronchitis and even more danger
Gus things. And all these disorders arise
because the food Is not properly digested
In the stomach. 1t is plain even to child
that relief and cure are to be had only by
setting up healthy condition In the stom-
ach- DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. T., many
years ago combined a number of vegetable
growths into temperance remedy for IN
digestion, and called it Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t is probably the most ef-
ficacious discovery ever made in medicine,
for the list Of people all over the world who
have had their countless ills overcome by
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes On amazing total of thousands.
n know of no advice better than this:
Begin home treatment today with this
good vegetable medicine. It viii show
you better than can tell you what it win do.
When taking Colder Medical Discovery,
you can rest assured of one very important
thing-it contains neither alcohol nor
opiates. There Is nothing In it but
standard roots and herbs that possess
curative properties of q high order. A
safe medicine is the only kind you can
afford to take.
