Uplifting men to vim

A victory over sin
when a movie flashes sunshine
And scares the clouds away,
Helps us TO smile and whistle,
Feel happy and be gay.
when a movie brings a feeling
That all the world is right,
And everything Is happiness.
And everything looks bright
when a movie chases sadness,
When a movie makes you smile,

The American railroads are moro 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. h the three months alone of the har vest movement in 1919 the traffic equal ed that of the whole year of 1898.

 Railroad Credit. TO MAKE INVESTMENT SAFE. National Authority on Railroad Trans portation Says Roads Must Bs SeIf-SupportIng or Become
 Bankrupt.
TO MAKE INVESTMENT SAFE.

In an address on "The Railroad Pug zle," delivered in Philadelphia, Janu- ary 3, Dr. Emory R. Johnson, dean of the Wharton School of Finance, and one of the nations leading authorities on railroad transportation, declared that "after the first of March the com panies must be self-supporting or be- come bankrupt" Continuing, he said:
 Gan the. railroads be successfully financed and operated when they are returned to their owners7 For two years the government has drawn upon the public treasury to sustain the credit of carriers. eff the carriers avoid failure their income must cover operating expenses, maintenance and capital charges; if the companies succeed to the extent that is demanded in public interest, they must not only be able to meet un- avoidable expenses, they must have some surplus revenue.
 If there is no income to be used in part for betterments and in part for building up q surplus or reserve fund, the public will not invest in the rail- roads, their credit cannot be re-estab- lished and maintained and corporate ownership and operation of the rail- ways will fail.
 "The income of the carriers is deter mined by public regulation, and prop erly SO; but from this it follows that the country must decide between a policy of adequate revenues to the railroad corporations of the future and policy of government ownership.
 "The government is entitled to credit for having given greater unity to rail- road operation, both line and terminal. It has done much that the carriers were prohibited from doing The pub lie now realize that cooperation of the carriers in the joint use of equip ment and terminals should be encour- aged, instead of prevented.
 "The railroad legislation now. pend ing in Congress must solve many diffi- cult questions. but the most critical one is that of providing for the future reg ulation of railroads in accordance with policy that will cause the carriers to secure revenue sufficient to enable them to perform their services ade- quately and with progressive efficiency. The railroad business must be made at tractive to private investments or the country will have to adopt government ownership and operation of the raR roads. There is no other alternative"  FROM THE RANCH

It has been our privelege to listen to a number of excellent lectures, ana to read numerous splendid articles on the new subject of '.Americanizatlon
 All have been most enlighten1ng ex- cept upon one particular topic. That is RACE" Doubtless those who have delivered these lectures and composed these articles know in their mind that to become an American does not mean to change ones race in some subtle manner, but they have failed to put this sentiment over. No amount of Characterization" is going to change the Malay, Mongollan, American Indian or Negro, etc. into a Caucasian. That they might become splendid citizens of the United States through the latest approved methods of Americanizing them, or because they naturally and easily assume the qualities necessary to become such citizens may be very true but it will not change the characteristics which mark them as memters of another race than the Caucasian. Any effort to Americanize them by trying to bring the races, marked so distinctly from the beginning of time, into a mongrel blood kin-ship will be marked with dis appointment and failure. That this is not the idea of the writers and lee turers is very true, put that they have failed to touch upon and explain this point perfectly is also true.

LEST WE FORGET

Governor Coolidge of Massachusetts says:
 ITO punish men for their beliefs is contrary to the spirit of American in- stitutions and American history. It is right to punish overt acts, but the only way to deal with beliefs is to meet them, expose their fallacy, present the facts which prove them wrong. That is the American way. If there are some of us, including men in high places, who seem to be forgetting this today, sooner or later they must re- turn to this principe, which has nev- CT been allowed to sink out of sight during our whole history"

rREsPAssERs CROSSING TRACKS

The Kansas Supreme Court holds that no public way is established across a switch yard merely because pedestrians for many years had so ire
 quently trespassed thereon that they had worn a beaten track across it. Any one who undertakes to cross a switch yard of many tracks, where engines and cars are likely to be moving at any time in the regular course of the railroads business, is held a trespass- CT and does so at his own peril The only duty of the railroad company and its employees toward such trespassers is not to wilfully injure him.-Allen V.

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 1t
