If now, while the country is still
marveling at the wonderful accom-
plishments of our business men who
have helped us to help win a war in
less than two years. we could enlist
the services of those same men for the
organization and prosecution of a ma
tional bodybuilding program, we
would find that the appropriations
spent during less than one year of the
conflict would literally pull every sec
ton of our country out of the mud
and place our highways on a par
with other industrial enterprises. Kan
sas cannot afford to wait on the adop-
ton of constitutional amendment.

boys for some time. They want 70

dance, but as our folks are against
our dancing. we can't let them know
about our going. The boys want us

two such popular boys as these. Please
advise US what is best to do as soon as
possible.

If you want the boys to respect and
admire you, be honorable and refuse
to DISREGARD the wishes of your par

more if they find you VIII not do
everything they want you to. Your
parents are entirely right in refusing
to let you go to another town to dance.

GOVERNMENT RA11RoAD1NG.

With the evident intention of pre-
senting the worst side of government
operation of railroads. and ignoring
every extenuating feature except the
war, Leslie-s prints the following:
The first thing the government did
when 1t took over the railroads was
forbidden to do under penalty of the
Antitrust law. The government
pooled the earnings of the railroads,
established the use of joint terminals
and combined the competing roads.
All this would have been in direct
violation of the Sherman Antitrust
law had it been done by the railroads
themselves.
Then the government cut off some
Pullmans and observation cars. dis
continued some of the fastest and
most popular trains, ceased distribut-
ing free timetables or folders
which had always been given so Hber-
ally by the railroads to inquiring pas
sengers. restricted the dining-car SER
vice and summarily put an end to
many things that the railroads always
had done as competing lines, in their
desire to secure the patronage of the
public. by giving the best, quickest
and most luxurious service.
Next the government raised the
freight and passenger rates to I'M
heard of figures, tho the railroads had
been forbidden permission to make a
| moderate increase. Passenger rates
on Pullmans were almost doubled.
and on ordinary trains increased by
fifty per cent. Freight rates advanced
from twenty five to forty per cent.
For the first time in our history,
passengers were divided into classes
as in Europe. We had two classes:
First, those that rode in the coaches
at three cents a mile, and second
those that rode in the Pullmans al
three and one-half cents a mile. Be
fore a first-class passenger could ride
in Pullman he was obliged to buy
his train ticket, often at great incon-
venience.
The Ia carte service in the dining
cars was abolished. and every one was
compelled to eat set meal and pay
from 3 dollar and upward for it. The
, man. woman or child who wanted a
cup of tea and a slice of toast in a
dining car paid one dollar for it all
the same. All these Inconvenience
and hardships were accepted without
a murmur by patriotic public be-
cause we were at war.
Now, after the war is over, and
