ELEcTRIFYINo RAILWAYS,


, An economic and mechanical re
form Of first importance would b
the general liberalization OF Amer
lean railways. II Is an improvement
We believe, which cannot be post
poned very much longer. Something
Of the advantage which would resul
may be inferred from the following
statement Of A. II. Armstrong, chair
man Of the Identification COMMITTEES
Of the General Electric company, 1
few days ago:
approximately 122.500,000 tons o.
coal. or more than two thirds thu
coal now being burned by the 3d.
600 steam locomotives OF the coun.
try, would have been saved during
the year 1918. and can be saved to-
day. were the railways of the United
States completely electrified along
lines fully tried out and proved sue
/ cessful at the present time"
And to this saving may be added
the power and the car space devoted
to the transportation OF the railroads
own coal. Mr.. Armstrong estimates
that the saving of coal referred to
above is one and one-half times the
amount shipped out Of England before
the war and twice the total amount
consumed by the railways and indus
tries OF France.
Since the railroads have been re-
turned to their owners, mechanical
improvements have become live is
sue. Continuing his calculations, Mr..
Armstrong estimates that 1t would
require 100000 kilowatts OF power
to operate the railroads on the basis
OF the year 1918, which Is only about
half the electric power now available.
1t 10 shown that forty-two electric
locomotives have replaced 112 steam
engines on the Chicago. Milwaukee &
81. Paul and are hauling more tom
mage than ever. II Is also shown
that tho saving in operating expense
~ affording a fine return on tho cost
OF installation in addition to the re-
lease OF 112 locomotives for use else
where.
But the great reform indicated
above and others OF a kindred ma
ture must wait on water power leg
islation. Now that the treaty has
been disposed Of maybe something
will be done. 1t Is not certain. how
ever. The water power enabling bill
is in the hands OF a conference COM
mittee having passed both houses of
congress months ago. 1t has gone to
this stage several times before, only
to fail at last Concluding his state
ment an to railways, Mr.. Armstrong
says:
I'VE are now wasting enough fuel
on our steam engines TO pay interest
charges on the cost OF completely
all the railways in the
United States. fuel that Europe
in sad need of and which
England and Germany cannot now
supply. What we need in addition to
legislation and real CO.
operating on the part OF the govern
ment in the matter of rates and safe
guarding invested capital is wise d.
rection In the expenditure OF tho
largo sums which must speedily be
found and used to bring our railways
abreast of the times"

THE OLIVER CASE.
Manufacturers Record Oevotes Much
Space to Vindioation.

| Manufacturers Record DeVotes Much
Space to Medication.
| In its issue of last week. the Manu-
facturers Record devoted consider
able space to review Of the case
against Col. w. J. oliver and asso-
ciates, becoming quite caustic in its
comment upon the prosecution. One
Of the articles is printed under the
caption OF when the Government
Heads a Lynching Party" A partial
summary follows:
It is stated that while Knoxville
has witnessed many strange sights
In it's historic life, none has equalled
that Of a fall day in 1918 when the
United States marshal and district
attorney with drawn revolvers, and
accompanied by a company of cav
airy and a troop of deputies, raided
the offices of Mr.. Oliver, cut the
telephone wires, ransacked his pa
pers. seized his securities and hur-
ried him off to jail.
The article indicates that Mr.,
Oliver was a reputable citizen, had
never killed anybody and that he
was not surrounded by desperadoes
A single deputy might have made
the arrests without ostentation. In
fact, 1t is claimed that the marshal
suggested that he would call the de-
PENDANTS over the telephone and ask
them to come to his office-which
plan was promptly prohibited by
somebody higher up. The spectacular
raid was pulled off," the news was
flashed over the wires and Mr.. Oliver
and his associates were discredited
to the etXent that an irreparable in
Jury was done them.
The Record weaVes a dramatic
story of how Mr.. divers credit was
damaged by the prosecution. his In
jury while the case was pending, the
fact that the very day of his humil-
lation, his only son was plotting
bombing plane over Metz and helping
to complete the rout of the Hun. and
OF his triumphant victory In the
court where the case was thrown out
without the def'nses putting up a
single witness. The Recort' calls upon
papers which handled the voluml-
nous news stories concerning the
case to publish the later develop
ments for Col. divers vindication.

WOULD RETAIN Two.THlRps.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal
was one among our contemporaries
which insisted upon an uncondl-

peace treaty. Its unccmpromlsing at
titude led It 70 resent the efforts of
Mr.. Bryan. Herbert Hoover and SOW
sral prominent democratic senato tors
to bring about ratification on the best
terms obtainable. In the same con-
nection, u Ia also rather critical
toward Mr.. Bryan's suggestion that
treaties ought 10 be ratified by a
majority vote. or this latter prop
osition, IL says, among other things:
He suggests that an issue In the
approaching campaign be made Of
the constitutional provisions regard
ing tho drafting and ratification Of

! Gratis favor an amendment to tho
constitution that would allow a bare
majority 20 ratity treaties instead OF
the two-thirds majority as now re-
/ quired. This is a species OF political
/ opportunlsm that we feel will be re-
secuted by the people. II would make
Of the constitution the football OF
party politics"
Our understanding IL that Mr.,

he simply declared that the consti-

WAS NOT IRREPARABLE,

An authoritative statement, run
ming about as follows. was made
concerning the situation in Greater
New York a few days ago:
"The lights still blaze on Broadway,
the restaurants are just as merry
the hotels are packed TO the doors
the theaters are full and running
over, the sporting contests are
mobbed by throngs of ticket buyers
business is at its peak Of activity
from Wall street TO the corner gro
Gerry OF Seventh avenue. Fifth ave-
nue. is full OF motor cars and fura
and diamonds. They said the people
Of New York would not submit to
prohibition, but they have. They said
that It would make the city a dull
imitation OF its former spiendor, but
II hasn't. They said the workingmen
would not work without beer, but
they are doing IT,"
A very convincing delineation and
one that might be applied with prac-
teal universally. Things are going
on about as usual. money that for
merry went for booze now pays for
something more substantial II less

government at Washington still lives.

Big Convention January 4.

to arrange for a convention, at when
the grain marketing organizations IN
the various sections will be invited
to send delegates to arrange for
financing the project
The financial system advocated by
the delegates provides for a national
union of farm loan associations.
The resolution covering the project
stated 1000 farm loan bodies at pres
ent have no opportunity of getting
proper representation at Washington
and charged that the policy OF the
federal farm loan board had been to
discourage attempts by the associa-
lions to form state declarations.
Resolutions were adopted protest
ing against the amendments which,
it was stated, have been made to the
federal farm loan act in the last two
years without giving an opportunity
for consultation between lawmakers
and associations.

Another resolution protested against
