Sleeping Again.

England is losing no time. Altho
staggering under a mountain of war
debts, and with her currency depre-
ciating at an alarming rate, she is
oven now at work building up an
enol nous navy of the air for her
protection in the next war, which
many thinking people agree is not
many years away. 49,,
England will not be caught nap
Iing-she will take care of her own.
But what of America--the coun-
try that lost the least and gained
the most in the war?
We are sleeping again.
We are doing nothing and will
probably continue to do nothing,
until our backs are to the wall with
mighty hostile air feet closing in
on us from every direction.
Then, as in the past, we will sud
denly wake up, rush feverishly into
all manner of criminal extravaganza,
pay a hundred fold in the useless
sacrifice of lives and the squander-
ing of billions of dollars in money,
and founder out of the mess the
best way we can7-if the Lord con-
tinues to protect those who are SO
blind they will not provide for their
own protection.
Universal training alone will not
suffice.
In all probability the next great
war in which we take part will be
fought mainly in the provided
we have en- adequate air-feet with
which to fight.
But if VIC have none-well, the
story will soon be told.-Humbold

TRAFFIC INCREASE
TREBLED SINCE 1888
Greater Efficiency Enabled Rail-
roads to Meet Country's
Growing Demands.

The American railroads are more
than one-third of the railways of the
world. The traffic hauled on the rail-
ways of the United States is now three
times as great as 1t was twenty years
ago. In four months now the railroads
carry as much freight and as many
passengers as they did then in year.
In the three months alone of the har-
vest movement in 1919 the traffic equal
ed that Of the whole year of 1898.
In 1898 freight ton miles carried by
the railroads of the country were more
than O,00O0O0,0O0 a year. In 1910
they were more than 250,000,000, 900,
in 1913 more than 100000, 100000 and
in 1918 more than 4O0,000,0O0OO0 AL
though the railway mileage increased
only about 65 per cent since 1890, i'm
provements in tracks, terminals, equip
ment, ETC., have been SO marked that
the volume of goods carried measured
in the number of freight tons carried
one mile) increased more than Eve
times from 1880 to 1917. va,
Increased Efficiency.
Taking account of both freight and
passenger service, the railroads In 1900
hauled 10000 traffic units freight
tons carried one mile, plus passengers
carried one mile) for each railway en-
pleyee. BY 1917, the last year Of pri-
vate operation Of the railroads prior to
the entry of the United States into the
war, that $4,000 had been increased
to $4,000.
The following table shows the In
crease in efficiency of American rail-
roads since 1900, which enabled the
railroads to keep pace with the growth
of the country:
Ton miles increased. ....... 1904
Passenger miles increased. 1907
Trackage increased ........ 500
Cars and engine increased. 1919
Workers increased ......... S5%
Output per worker increased 60%
Average train load increased 1900
These figures show that the traffic
hauled by the railroads of the country
has increased more than three times
as fast as the trackage, more than
twice as fast as the equipment and
more than twice as fast as the number
Of workers. This has been made pos
sible by far-sighted investment Of new
capital to increase the efficiency Of the
transportation facilities and thereby
enable the railroads to increase the
amount of traffic handled and reduce
the amount of labor required to handle

one Of the most important political
changes made by the legislature was
1.-THE amendment made to the primary
election law. abolishing the second prl-
mary election. BY this amendment tn
second primary has been entirely an
absolutely eliminated, and the law so
changed as to require that where there
are THREE or more candidates for one
Ioffice. voters indicate a FIRST and
SECOND choice, and the candidate re-
ceiving the highest number of votes,
ieithpr first or second, shall be declared
the nominee.
The registration law has been amend
ed in several respects, making 1t more
effective and affOrding more protection
to the voters and tending to prevent
fraud of amy kind
one of the most important acts OF
the session was the calling for
constitutional Convention This act
was in response to the almost univer-
sal demand for a new Constitution to
replace the antiQuated document which
has been pieced and patched so fire
I0uently that 1t resembles a crazy quilt
and is Just about as difficult to under
stand as a document Of such importance
could well be.
Among other laws passed were two
of more or less interest locally. one
permits the uniting or consolidation OF
municipalities separated by a natural
water course, situated similarly to Mon
roe and West Monroe. The other is
what is known as the Higgins anti
gambling law. This measure has real
