If Congress doesn't weaken the
United States will soon have law
that will make railroad strikes unlaw-
full. The rights of the general public
make such law necessary. Not only
the prosperity, but the health and the
lives of the people are dependent upon
continuous operation of the railroads.
The country has outgrown its railway
systems because for 12 or is years the
tendency of Congress was to hamper
the railroad business with extreme
regulations, increasing operating costs
and reducing revenues to such an ex-
tent that capital could not be obtained
for railroad building and betterment.
1t is now absolutely necessary to re-
lease the roads under moderate regu-
lation and give them chance to catch

Shannon in his new pulpit. Central

tributes:
A Loss to Brooklyn.
Editorial from the Brooklyn Eagle :
The request of the Rev. DR.. Fred
erick F. Shannon to be relieved as
pastor of the Reformed Church of the
Heights means that he will go to
Chicago early in January to take the
pulpit OF the Central Church there.
This is perhaps the most fiourishing
body of worshipers in the world that
is not formally connected with any
denomination. II is. of course, con-
affiliated with the Congregationalist
communion, 1t has preferred not to
build or buy n church editice. holding
that the appeal to the people can best
be made from public hall. The Rev.
DR.. Newell Dwight Hills came from
this Central Church to Brooklyn to
AXE :he Plymouth pulpit. His sue
cessor was the Rev. DR.. f. w. Gun
saulus, whose place DIR. Shannon is to
fill.
An Eastern Kentucky boy, of noun
-aineer stock, Frederick Z. shannon,
ought his way through school and col
ege and seminary. He became an
ordained Methodist minister. His elo-
Iuence, his logic and his pleasant
personality won friends fast. But the
change of pulpits after relatively short
intervals which is part of the Metho-
dist system seemed hard to him., and
seven years ago he accepted the call
to the Reformed Church on the
Heights. He never has been in the
stricter sense of the term a denomina-
tionalist, Neither has he been a sen
He should be especially
fitted for the work he is going to do in
Chicago.
Large numbers of personal friends
and admirers will regret DIR. Shan
mons removal from Brooklyn. All will
wish him well, wherever he goes. All
will remember him as kindly man. a
devoted man, and preacher who had
few rivals, even in what we still like
to call the City of Churches"

HARDING'S PUBLIC RECORD

The Democratic hsrrape against Sena-

not be attacked as excessive IN view of the
hard fight Senator Harding conducted IN
