RAILROAD
AGAIN RUNNING
6usquehanna River and West
ern Now Operates Freight
Trains Every Other Day

New Bloomfield, Pa. July Ii
After being idle to a large extent
for the past several years. the Sus-
quehanna River and the Western
Railroad has resumed partial oper-
atoms. Freight trains are being
run over the railroad now on alter
nate days. but no passenger schedule
has been adopted.
All transfers of carload lots Of
freight from standard gauge cars to
the narrow gauge cars of the New
port and 'Sherman's Valley Rail-
road and vice versa. are o being
made here instead OF at Newport
and the trains run from New
Bloomfield to Duncannon, where
they are transferred to the Penn
sylvania railroad.
Persons in this vicinity regard
the partial operation of the Sus-
q%uehanna River and Western as a
promising indication, afte rmany ru-
mors had been circulated that the
railroad was to have been aban-
doned. With freight movements re-
sumed on alternate days, they are
becoming confident that passenger
schedules will soon be adopted.

Fifth-That the negroes all over

dition financially and educationally
than ever before in the history of
he world. Many of them own
plantations of hundreds of acres.

unusual for negro tenants to 60
into banks and cash checks rang
ing from one hundred to one
thousand dollars, and many times
several thousand dollars. That no
laborers in the world, in the North
or in foreign countries, make as
much money nor have SO many of
the comforts and luxuries of life
as the colored men and women in
the South. To the sensible leaders
and their followers we submit that
it would be very foolish for them
to throw away their prosperity,
their property and theii lives in
following aeitators whose only
desire is to instill race hatred for
their own financial advantage.
Tell the colored people the truth.
Then we will have no fear Of race
trouble here where every opportu-
nifty is given for success and pros

By working together the white
man and the black man can both
have plenty and enjoy long lives.
A race war would deprive the ne

THE SHANTUNG SETTLE.
M BNT.

Many and bitter lave been the
speeches in the United States SEN
ate in regard to the Shantung
treaty, wherein it is charged that
japan intends to grab a lot of
Chinese territory. Quite num-
ber of Republican Senators and a
few Democrats seem to think that
the United States ought to go TO
war with Japan and restore this
province to China. And this, not
withstanding the that Japan, is
pledged to teturn this territory to
China at the earliest practical
moment. If the United States is
to be judged by the action of these
Senators, then we are placed in the
attitude of telling the Japanese
that they are liars and thieves
without waiting to give them a
chance to demonstrate their. inten-
tions. And Japan was one of our
Allies during the war. 1t is ridi-
culous. and yet if this country
should persist in this attitude it
mig ht lead to war with Japan.
And then these great United States
Senators would hide behind their
official positions and their age
and send our boys into the hell OF
lead and steel again. 1t seems to
us that these fellows are just or
dinary demagogues or fools.
Why should we question the in
tentions of Japan to restore Shan
tung any more than Japan should
que estion the intentions of the
u ites States to eventually give
independence to the Fillipinos'
We have had charge OF these
i>land' now for many years and
yet there has been no definite time
set to return the government to the
original inhabitants. 1t is true
that the United States bough these
islands from Spain, but il is also
true that we had TO subdue the in
habitants by force of arms so as
to be allie 10 govern the people.
And these islands are thousands OF
miles from the shores of America,
almost half way round the world.
With the numerous and serious
problems in this country demand
ing solution, it appears to us to be
almt st criminal for the Senate to
wangle day after day and week
after week about this Japanese
Chinese quarrel.
