The public has learned a number
of lessons regarding the railroad bust
ness from government operation.
Many things which the railroads while
under private management were con-
demned for doing. were found neces-
sarv by the government. One of these
is the adjustment OF freight rates so as
TO force traffic along specified chan
nels. There has been considerable ad-
verse comment in New England and
middle Atlantic states upon the action
of the railroad administration in fix
ing rates with a view to the diversion
Of Interior railroad traffic to Gulf and
South Atlantic ports. This traffic has
heretofore gone chiefly to New York
and other northern ocean shipping
points. The indicated purpose of the
railroad administration in establishing
crates that would encourage shipments
10 southern ports. was to relieve con-
eestion at New York and other north
fern terminals. During the war that
congestion became extremely serious.
The docks. warehouses and RAILROAD
yards we're so crowded with freight
that there was great delay in empty
ing cars. in obtaining space for han
ding freight. and in loading ships.
The fact was that the war emergency
sent such a rush of freight to New
York that the facilities at hand could
not accommodate 1t.

Daily Talk
THE O-BE-HEARD-OF
HEROES AND HEROINES.

In the first place, they are every
where! The boot-black, the streetcor-
ner policeman. the janitor. the scrub
woman, the coal digger, and scores OF
their kind And then there are the ST.
lent mothers. rearing big families, the
public school teachers. the small
town ministers and country doctors.
The ordinary man rarely dreams OF
al the heroism that there is in the
world!
Fame and acclaim, after all, amount
to very little. The world moves and
grows from the summed-up product
of it's average good man.
And SO to those of whom I write.
let there be attention paid-and honor
and great glory. And let none OF
them ever become discouraged or Dis
appointed because great crowds do not
come to sing praises at their door.
For in the infinite heavens there is al
ways an orchestra playing to their
worth.
1 have in mind a grocernan whose
smile does me good. ! often think OF
an office scrub woman. with four
children, whose cheerfulness is an in
spiration to my business life. 1 am
now thinking of a mother, tending a
nine months old baby that belongs to
someone else---a father and mother
who are both ilI--tho her own heart
is torn with grief at the loss or one OF
her own.
The thing that is constantly saving
the world is it's silent, unheard-o of
heroes and heroinesl
So let us never think that our own
lot is hard or too difficult. There are
always ones who are much sadder than
we-and much more sorely pressed.
Let US not keep homage-but give it
to those whe so richly deserve II.
The wonderful, most interesting, and
Iovable people are just-the folks of
everyday! :
