Messrs. r. J. West and G. w.

report that they were accorded
a hearing before the full peni-
Tertiary committee and that a
subcommittee headed by Hon.
Alf Stone was appointed to take
this matter up and make a study
of the conditions. Mr.. Stone is
one Of the most studious and far

our people can rest assured that
he will go into the matter
thoroughly and recommend what
he finds to be best for the State.

warrant such a plant here, and
now that this committee will not
only investigate for themselves,
but have a government expert
report Of the feasibility and cost
of such plant, we may rest
assured teat in the end it will be
given that consideration that
merritt warrants.

"WHERE THERE is NO VISION
THE PEOPLE PERISH"

In vain the farms and the factor
les produce, if food rots and manu-
featured goods be not distributed
for lack of transportation. Ponti-
cal economists and many financial
experts, whose views are heralded
as the wisdom of sages, though
wholly without value, and statesmen,
'io-called, with all their might pro-
claim that our difficulties are due
to lack of production. Much Of this
is bosh. Our chief difficulty is not
lack of production, but lack of dis
tribution.
We cannot distribute what we
produce. Coal mines are idle, not
for lack of miners, but for lack of
cars. Last years grain, to the ex-

tent of many millions of bushels,
has filed to overlooking the eleva-
tors in parts Of the Western grain
region, and is piled up on the ground
for lack of transportation. Loaded
ears by the tens Of thousands lie
idle on the tracks-we started to say
for lack of locomotives, but it would
be more correct to say because brain
power failed to see and provide for
the present situation.
"Where there is no vision the
people perish" Holy writ tells us,
and there was no vision i'm the In
terstate Commerce Commission
when for years it denied the need
for higher rates; there was no vision
when legislators in national and
state aairs dubbed the railroads al
most unto death; no vision when
business men, without investigation,
fought higher freight rates. And for
lack of vision the country is perish
ing.
But there are others who lacked
vision, and still lack it sadly, and
TO that lack is due much of the
short sighted vision of others. They
are the railroad managers who ig-
nored public sentiment; who thought
that everything done by railway
executive was ipse dixit right and
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1920-07-06

is to give due warning, but there will
doubtless be arrests should there be
continued infringement Of the
law.
This law is being rigidly enforced
in some cities and so strict are the
officials that a number of arrests
have been made. The practice Of
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1920-07-06

using binding lights has been very
extensive and offensive in many To-
cahties, and especially in cities to
the north. 1t is the intention to do
away with this unnecessary nuisance
and the enforcement Of the law will
be noticeable at once.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1920-07-06

must be so regarded by the public.
They ignored public sentiment; IN
deed, they slapped it in the face
constantly, and some Of them are
still doing so.
IL there is any other great bust
ness which for years was as badly
managed as were the railroads, we
have never been able to discover it.
''The public be damned" was not
merely the thought Of one man; 1t
voiced the actions, unconscious,
perhaps, of large part Of the ex-
ecutive management of most Ameri-
can railways, and often extended
down to ticket agents and office
boys. Government control made it
worse, and now Railroad Brother
hood men want the public, i'm effect,
to buy the railroads and give them
to the employees at the expense of
everybody else. And the lack of vi
sion of railroad managers, of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
and the business men of the country
in the past, the lack Of vision of the
Government when it surrendered it's
sovereignty to the Railroad Brother
hoods in 1916, is now bringing forth
its fruition Of poison; and that poi
son spells perish" unless an anti
dote can be found.
The first move should be a frank
acknowledgement on the part of
railroad managers that, whether
they are right or wrong, they want
in the interest of the great public to
have all Of their work Thoroughly
investigated-not by legislative com
mittees, but by men competent to do
things. The first move to find an an
tidote for the poison should be a
careful diagnosis, not by railroad
men nor by legislators, but by com
mttees of the ablest business men
in America. Let the railroad people |
make the first move by asking men
like Gary, Schwab, Ford and other
great constructive leaders, but no
Wall street fnanciers; farmers of |
the highest business ability, coal
miners, lumber men, highway build
ers, and representatives of consum-
ers, to study in detail railroad man
agement, to find out why railroads
have ceased to function properly,
and to suggest remedies for physi-
cal management and for changing
public hostility to public friendship.
Then, and not until then, will the
railroad executives show that they
understand the real problem that
they face and the seriousness of the
situation.
Will they do observation-disclosures

GROWN TILDEN
 KING OF COURTS
Wins Tennis Championship In Five Sensational Sets
 At Forrest Hills

William T. Tilden 2d. of Philadel- phia, is the tennis champion of the
 United States and of the world in
 general. His victory over William M. Johnston, the former national ti- tle-holder, at the West Side Club,
 Forest Hills, yesterday afternoon, stamps him as not only the greatest
 of all living tennis players but, per
 haps, the greatest of all time. It was
 victory, however, completed only
 after five of the most terrific sets
 ever staged on turf court, scored
 at 6-1, 1-6, 7-5, 5-7, 6-3. To
 what was probably the most dramatic
 scene in the history of lawn tennis
 was added the excitement of an areo-
 plane tragedy, in which Lieutenant J. M aGrier of the U. s. Navy and
 Sergeant Sake of the army lost their lives in full view of the spectators,
 narrowly escaping a far more disas- trous fall Sinto the crowded stands themselves.
 The Tilden-J ohnston struggle will go down on the records as the most astounding exhibition of tennis, the most nerve-racking battle rnat the courts have ever seen. It Is not of- | ten that such a climax of compet- ton lives up to every preliminary ex- pectation. Yesterday, however, the widest expectations were actually l surpassed. Up to this time, the fam ous final of 1916. in which Richard Norris Williams, 2d, defeated John ston for the championship, had been considered the apex of tennis history ! But that great match faded into l comparative insignificance yesterday
