There is a dispute in Jerusalem
between members of the different
Christian sects as to which shall con-
troll the room said to be the scene of
the last supper. We suppose the
mountains, hills. valleys and plains in
Palestine can be identified, but as all
It's towns and cities have been wreck
ed and made over several times in the
last nineteen centuries, we shouldn't
think sensible people would feel like
claiming any house or room as the
scene of an event that took place SO
long ago. The best story on locations
in Palestine is that of an American,
who was taken in their boat by Cali
1eean fishermen to the very spot, they
said, where Christ walked on the wa
tiers. When they returned to land the
fishermen charged the American fifty
dollars, who paid it with the dry
comment: II would have walked on
the water. too, if I had known I was
going to have to pay fifty dollars for
a boat"

Rome began to decline as soon as
most of the citizens crowded into the
cities, Ie. ring the farms to be titled
by slaves. In America something
similar has happened the people
focking into the cities because they
could make easy money at non-essen-
tial jobs, and as there are no slaves in
America except the slaves of vice and
circumstance, the number of farms
that go untitled increase. Thinking
people see what this is leading to, but
how many people think? The con-
Germs that make non-essentiaIs can no
longer sell enough of their products
TO make profits. and are shutting
down, throwing men out of work by
the hundred thousand. This will be
ia blessing to the country If people
are thereby driven back TO the farms,
hut will they be? Will not present
conditions continue until people have
to be driven into productive occupa-
tons by the law, creating peonage
and chattel slavery worse than the
country has ever seen? Or will the
situation become even worse until the
starving city dwe1lers raiding the
country for food meet armed resis-
tance, which will cause the worst OF
| internecine wars ? In such case, the
people from the cities will at first
have the best of it, because they will
be better organized and better armed
But in time the tide will turn and the
country folk will annihilate the city

THE RAILROAD CAR SHORTAGE

President A. H. Smith of the New
York Central Railroad has issued a
statement to the press setting forth
the plight of the railroad companies.
He said there was a shortage of 1OO,-
900 railroad cars; that it would re
quire an outlay of $700,000,000 to OBJ
tain new rolling stock. There is a
necessity for 100000 locomotives.
One of the first acts of Secretary
McAdoo was to mobilize the rolling
stock, power and equipment Of the
nation. By adopting the rule that
equipment should be at home on any
road in the country, he added the
equivalent of 100000 freight cars,
and an equivalent amount of motor
power, to serve the nation. This
meant that hundreds Of millions Of
tons of freight could be hauled. 1t
meant saving, according to Mr.
Smiths estimate, at the cost Of cars
alone, of over $2,000,000,000.
The unscrambling of the railroads
has led each road to seize its own
equipment. 1t has compelled the
haulage Of hundreds Of thousands OF
empty cars. 1t has upset industry.
1t has closed down mills. 1t has
caused millions Of dollars worth OF
food to rot at terminals.
