SEES HUGE STRUGGLE

Washington, Aug. 5.-If the railroad
brotherhoods succeed in forcing con-

alization of the railroads, in co-part-
nership with the people and the work
ers, Senator Cummins of Iowa, chair
man of the interstate commerce com
mittee handling the railroad problem,
believes that it ultimately will mean
the Matchmaking of all industry.
The Iowa senator, who is conceded
to be the leading railroad authority in
congress- said that he had given the
government ownership proposal of the
workers thorough study and was con-
WINGED that its adoption would mean
the establishment of a working mems
government of the railroads. Such a
stride toward socialism, he added,
could not be taken without promoting
an immediate movement to extend the
naturalization movement to all other
branches of industry.
There is TO be a gigantic struggle in
congress over the issue, as opposition
in both houses to the workers plan is
developing Support for the measure
is developing in both branches. Sena-
tor Cummins said he would not ven

Medicine by Inhalation.

That medicines for all diseases may
be applied by inhalation is the conclu-
sion of DR.. Z. ID. Schulz, of New York,
after many years of experiment Hith-
erto this method has been chiefly con-
fined TO anaesthetlcs and remedies for
respiratory affections, but marked
success Is claimed for It in both d.
gestive and nervous troubles. The med
icine in liquid form is used to satu-
rate n sponge, which IS contained in
tube through which nitrous oxide
gas as n "conveyor' IS inhaled. Risk
of chemical or other change from con-
tact with food materials is avoided,
and the medicine is absorbed into the
circulation from the lungs even more
readily than from the stomach, small
Ter doses sufflcing.

WORLD TOO MUCH WITH US
Writer Questions Whether Mankind as
a Whole Does Not Neglect the
Best investments.

A thoughtful American who lost his
life when the Lusitanla was sunk re-
marked as he awaited his fate with
calmness that Death is the most beau.
tiful adventure in life" Ii was a sin
guarly impressive utterance which
was wired around the world, and II is
still remembered and treasured in
hosts of hearts.
tombstone in Flanders bears the
words of another reflective American,
Dinsmore Ely, a soldier from Chicago.
With what seemed q premonition that
the supreme sacrifice was at hand, he
gave the world a thought comparable
in interest and significance with that
of Charles Frohman, when he wrote
in his last letter to his mother that 1T
is an investment, not loss, when
man dies for his country"
Both of these notable utterances
sound Il high note too rarely heard in
our hurrying world of today. But if
life is the greatest individual asset Of
any one of us, surely its wise invest
ment should be our matter of greatest
concern. What sort of an investment
of life do we make in living seItishiy
for self? Can it yield an adequate re-
turn? Does the very best that it has
to offer-wealth, position power
make 1t worth while? Nothing is more
certainly established than that these
invariably dlsnppoint the hearts set on
them; and altogether impermanent is
such satisfaction as they do confer.
As matter Of theory we admit. or
most of us do, with Cicero, that M
ture has lent us life at interest; and
with Seneca that the body is not a
home but an inn. We also give nomi-
nal assent TO the teaching of the faith
into which we were born that life IN
trusts us with talents-one or more
of which we must make wise invest
ment We are left In no doubt as to
what that investment is, yet how few
of us make 1t, and how little thought
the world as a whole gives to invest
ments Of the higher kind?
Is 1t not that the world Is too much
with us, that it's investments are too
alluring2 Yet the soul which denies
love asked of II, withholds kindness
expected from IT, or refuses the OPP
porunity for sacrifice offered to it,
may have world banks filed and yet
be bankrupt any moment. For the
only investments that cannot fail are
those Of sacrifice and duty done and
love.-Rocheste Post-EXpress.

trifling quarrel over the "color line
AT a bathing beach, a real race war
sprang up with startling suddenness

the negroes live, and thence to the
downtown business district, with spo-
radio outbreaks in other regions. Be
fore the authorities got the situation
under control nearly two score per
sons had been killed and several nun
dred wounded. For several days the
mayor insisted the police could re-
store order, but realization of his mis-
take was forced on him and he called
on the governor for assistance from
the state militia. Several regiments
at once occupied the "black belt"
However, the establishment Of martial
law was avoided and thus the city

There is no doubt that the casualty
lists of the race war were kept down
by the fact that the strike of the
street car men was Coincident with
the riots. Not surface or elevated
car was running and IL was compare
lively easy for the authorities TO keep
out Of the riot district the trouble and
curiosity seekers. The strike, which
had been impending for some time
was preciptated suddenly by the rad
ical element in the car mems unions, a
compromise offer Of the companies, ap-
proved by the state and city authori-
ties and the heads Of the unions, be-
ing rejected. Though seriously ham
pered in getting to it's work and In
transacting business, the public took
the situation good naturedly and made
its way to the business district and
home again with rather remarkable
facility. All manner of motor We
hicles were pressed into service and
the steam roads exerted every effort
to carry their many thousands OF extra
passengers. The demand Of the car
men for a heavy increase in wages
did not have general sympathy, for II
meant a corresponding increase in the
fares charged.

of the remainder Of the Armenian ma

their army and they and the Tatars
are advancing on the Armenians from
three sides, cutting them off from all
relief supplies and threatening their
determination. Unless military pro-
lection is afforded the Armenians at

will be more terrible than the maSsa-
