AGAINST GOVERNMENT CONTROL.

THERE is no surprise in the news that an investigation condusted by the
= Press Service company reveals that sentiment in Oklahoma IS oyerwhelm'
iasy IN favor OF returning the railroads to private control 1t would be suf
rrisrg L any other state expressed a different feeling N the matter, with the
po,,i6lc execution OF North Dakota, which is inclined TO take socialism Sc
riously, and regard government ownership as a panacea for economic ills
Oklahoma has been particularly unfortunate in its experience with govern
mentc control Until corrections we're made, this state suffered from nnwar-
rantcd discrimination in the matter OF rates
But no state has entirely escaped loss and inconvenience as a result OF
government control. Rates have been tremendously increased. The end OF
competition prevented many shippers receiving the accommodating and cour-
teous treatment which was accorded them under the old regime. travellers
have paid more and received less IN service. Dining ar have changed from
luxurious cafes on wheels TO nightmares dreaded by all with long journeys
before them. Tram schedules have been changed with little regard Tor those
who travel. All in all, a theory which sounded well as such, has proved I'M
satisfactory in practice, and those who Judge by facts instead OF sentiment, are
anxious for a return OF the roads to private control
An exception to this feeling may be the railway employees, who have un
questionably Jared better than the general public from the change. Their pay
has been greatly increased. Working hohs and conditions for many OF them
have been bettcred. They have found it easier to negotiate with the gov
eminent than usually with private management This is not hard 10
understand. Government management knew how to meet deficits with public
funds, which were not available to private management. But even the work
ers have little TO dread from a return Of private management. The tendency
in every industry, save a few strictly war occupations, is TO remain high or go
higher. Labor IS receiving constantly more consideration IN privately con
troned industries SO great is the Improvement that many civil service
employees have quit because they could make more money elsewhere than BY
working for the government.
The president struck 4 popular chord in urging the return of the railroads
to their owners by January l. Socialists and a few others may oppose the
ochange. The same faction, will seek to make government ownership an issue
in Tic approaching campaign. 1t is most improbable that either OF the major
parties will indorsc 1t Because government control wa, a war nectsHty.
America bore 1t checiuny. Because it ends most ii the clamor for gov.
ernncnt ownership they may be grateful for the brief experiment. 1t is easy
TO go back now, but it might be impossible, if the lines were purchased. Bless
ings sometimes appear disguised as rough stuff

And shivers tamblc DER our vertebrate.
While goose flesh shows beneath the Gcorgeite crepe.

Our chilly thoughts revert TO oyercoat',
And furnace heat and other winter cheer,
When weather raw could not corral our goats,
No matter what the peach buds had 10 fear
But icy days in June are not a joke,
When one has donned athletic b. Y. ds,
Or when the ancient ulster is IN soak,
And there is naught TO do but 81, and freeze
When jUlitorS reject our soft appeal
For heat and tell US this is early June,

Nor give the Tyre its usual lifting tune.
But summer days are looming near at hand,
And this refrigeration must retreat.
And chilblains which annoy TO beat the band,

few days enroule from ST. Croix to New
York, where he will sail for Egypt and
later he will 90 to India and China.
Mr.. Staples with his family for
the past five years has been in Cairo,
Egypt. where he has been in charge
OF important interests for the British
American Tobacco Company, and while
here related ma@y interesting expe-
RI noes and incidents of the war as he
observed them in Egypt.
We were bombed from a~irnlanes on
several occasions, said Mr.. Staples,
ana in Cairo it was generally supposed
that the one in charge of these air raids
was a former Austrian who had been
a resident of Cairo. There was consid-
cradle mystery about these raids be-
cause the nearest known airbase was
too far away for aeroplanes to fly to
Cairo and carry a large supply of
bombs, 1t was believed that a temporary
base was established in the desert near
Cairo and that the actual attack was
made from there. Many people were
killed and considerable damage was
done"
Mr.. Staples said hat he had great diff
ticulty in bringing his family from Cairo
and 1t seem an impossible undertaking.
he had been so long in Cairo. however,
that he was determined to get his family
out OF that city at the earliest possible
moment. He said he felt he had done
nothing but catch steamers for the past
four months. He came here after leaving
his family at Saint Croix, Mrs. Staples
former home, for the win err.
Despite unsettled conditions through
out the war Mr.. Staples said that his
company was able to keep its factories
in Cairo in operation throughout the
war. In describing the difficulty in
getting supplies to Egypt during the
war Mr.. Staples related this experience:
You know how much an Enqlishman
thinks Of his whisky and soda. Well.
during the war in ORDER to get n
machinery or equipment the author
tiles had to be convinced that the SUP
plies were necessary. If you could con
vince them of this you might get a permit
and after the permit Eou might get the
goods although that was not certain
We wanted to get some machinery
through and took the matter up with
the officials. We were told it was NJ
terly impossible. We can't even oct

IN MEMORY OF D0UGHBOYS
Memorial Centers for Social Ae-
tiVities Are Preferred to
Monuments.

Statistics just made public by the
bureau of memorial buildings of War
Camp Community service show that POI
communities in the United States have
decided to erect buildings in memory
of their men who served in the war.
OF the memorial buildings to be
raised, 132 will take the form of COM
mgnitZ- houses eachta function as a
free recreation and social center. Six
of the structures will be municipal
Office buildings.
More than 700 American commu-
mites are now considering the put
ting up Of memorial buildings instead
of shafts or monuments, the bureau
of memorial buildings also announces.
1t is crusading throughout the United
States for the community building
type of memorial. Such an inStitu-
ton. the bureau head maintains, is a
living influence in every community,
and serves constantly as a reminder
of the men the community gave
to the national fighting forces.
Additional figures concerning the
254 memorial buildings already de-
cided upon show that fourteen of them
will serve as state memorials and
that forty-four of them will be of the
auditorium type. These will have So
cial and recreatiOnal facilities in ad-
ditfon to large meeting halls, and for
the most part will be in larger cities.
Other memorials will take the form
of hospitals. libraries. school build
fngs and church work centers.
