COSTLY, BUT WORTH IT.

One of the woozy-ideaed advocates of social
istic adventuring along the line of government
control Of public utilities recently made the bald
statement that the United States government
would be in control Of the railroads within ten
years; and this outgiving in face of the evil
dences plain to every we'll balanced mind that
such control has provedSa monumental failure
here where it was applied at an expense to the
government of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Now, it is known to cent what government
operation of the railroads cost the country. The
railroad administration gives the figures to
congress in requesting an appropriation of
about four hundred and twenty millions to wind
Up the experiment in federal control. The gov
eminent loaned the roads nine hundred and
ninety millions which it will get back in
time, and will have paid out over nine hundred
millions more to meet deficits growing out of
its operation. This it will not get back. This is
clear loss, is what the people pay for the con-
elusive demonstration that government oper-
alton is less economical and less satisfactory in
every way than private ownership and conrol
1t is big price to pay for knowledge, but if it
saves the country from future similar mistakes
it may be cheap in the end Experience is often
a high-priced teacher, but her lessons are gen.
orally worth all they cost.

SENATE NOT SQUEEZING.

Senator Hitchcock has been In communica-
ton with the president and is of opinion that
Mr.. Wilson lis rather enjoying seeing the SEN
ate squirm" over the responsibility it has as
sumed in defeating the treaty. As matter of
fact there has never been such moment of
genuine relief in the senate as when the vote
was taken on March nineteenth returning the
treaty to the president For eight long months
the senate had put aside legislation absolutely
Imperative to the reconstruction of the nation,
and at the president IS insistence had devoted its
time to his league and treaty. Mindful of their
obligations to enact laws for the welfare Of the
country they nevertheless consented to give I'M
divided attention to the presidents program
of internationalism. Distasteful from the first,
debate on our proposed participation in world
affairs for all time to come served but to in
tensify the resentment of senators and to con-
vince them that further time spent in it's dis
|cuAsion would be thrown away

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
AFTER THE SHOWER.

The rain and the brilliant air
Made every little blade of grass appear a
Vivid and notwithstanding there
With sharpened outlines, eloquently clear,
As though it in crystal sphere
The Tustling sumac with its struggling spires;
The goden-rod with all its myriad fires
"a million torches swinging in the wind)
A single poplar, marvelously thinned,
The quaint, unhurried road that curved well;
The prim petunias with their rich, rank SMELL
The lettuce-birds, the creepers in the field
How bountifully were they all revealed
How arrogantly each one seemed TO thrive
So frank and strong, radiantly alive
And all the morningminded earth
There seemed to spread sharp and kindlng mirth,
Piercing the stubborn stones until
The toad face heaven without shame
The ant confront the stars, and every weed
Grow proud as if it brought royal seed.
And l the slender willowtree
No longer calm dropping listlessy,
Letting its languid branches sway and fall
AS though it danced in sad ritual
What made a sober tree seem such a rover
Or made the staid and stalwart appetrees
That stood for years knee-deep in velvet peace,
Turn all their fruit to little worlds of flame,
And burn the trembling orchard there below?
What lit the heart of every golden-glow--
Oh, why nothing weary, dull or tame?

THE NEW IMMIGRATION.

The interracial council recently made public
tile results of an inquiry into the immigration
situation, which indicate that while favorable
to industrial enterprises the present trend is
distinctly unfavorable to the farming interests
and to those seeking domestic help 1t is stated
that the ma erity of inmi grants coming in now
are women and children, mostly coming to join
husbands and fathers and that there are prac-
tically no immigrants coming in from whom we
can recruit 1msklled labor. The races that pre-
dominate are Greeks, Syrians, Italians, and
Spaniards Most Of the men coming in have
lived here before The women who come in
are not Of the domestic servant class. If they
engage IN work at all, it will be in canneries,
boot, and textile factories. Those who have
come in express no prediction for domestic
service In announcing conference of repre-

NTY-FIVECENT SUGAR.

The president was urged to contract for the
Cuban crop of sugar when it was offered at
eleven cents a pound. The sugar control board
advised him to do this, but he refused, acting as
would appear on the advice of single member
OF the board. The next step was made by At
torney General Palmer when he allowed Louis
lena sugar to be sold at more than the stated
price, the result being that all sugar. foreign
and domestic, is now put on the market as a
part OF the Louisiana crop and is being sold to
consumers at twenty-fv cents pound Even
yellow Brazilian sugar, not granulated but soft
and moist and quickly hardening into Jumps, is
now retailed at the twenty fve-cent rate A
senate subcommittee is looking into the mat
ter and proposes to remedy the condition, if
that can be done. In any event it will attempt
to put the responsibility where it belongs, and
expects to ask the attorney general to explain
and justify his course, if he can do that.

civilization as they surged into the

shouting incoherent words, waving

looked down on them with an imper

But the disturbance was not con

DEATH Is "A BLESSED ADVENTURE

Rev. DR.. F. A. Gustafson. Of st,
Louis: It matters not when,
where or how death comes to
,is--that is all III Gods good
providence. But it matters much
both as to now and then with what
mind we contemplate II and with
what spirit VIC meet 1t, whether
we face 1t and fear It; whether
wo succurnb to 1t with dreadful
spirit; whether we hold it friend
or foe; whether 1t fall upon MS as
q fell destroyer or whether we
regard it as blessed deliverer
and SO face it with wholesome
anticipation, prepared to meet II
justly, and when it comes oppor-
timely to gently fall asleep in
its tender embrace. I say that
matters and matters much, both
for then and for now.
Death is real. to be sure. I
would have you realize the GER
tainty of it and the utter impos-
sfbility Of escape from 1t. For
that ell is true. But would not
have you fear it, nor dread 1t
other for yourself or for others,
nor have you shrink from 1t when
it draws near. For in it is moth.
ing calculated to inspire fear,
nor incur dread. 1t is no foe It
has no power Of destruction. 1t
is more apparent than real. It
is no terminal of life. 1t is but
terminal experience with one
phase OF life. 1t Is always more

HOUSTON M1sLED THE PUBLIC.

Early in April the United States treasury de-
lpartment issued a carefully prepared statement
Informing the public that during March the
public debt had been reduced more than seven
hundred million dollars. The public was left
with the impression that this was a net reduc-
ton and that interest would be saved on that
amount The announcement was made as a
boast of accomplishment Representative Mon
dell Immediately took the treasury department
to task, with the result that the department is
sued a second statement saying that there APP
pears to be some danger that emphasis laid in
tie press upon the reduction of the public debt
III March will lead to misunderstanding Of the
treasury's stuation-'' Then the statement
went on to explain that the reduction was due
to payment of income taxes in March, and that
Operations for the first nine months of the fs- T!
cal year 1920 show current deficit of two hun !
lred and fourteen million dollars.'' Now if the |
department would explain the difference be-
tween ''current deficit" and just plain ''de- |
icit,' perhaps there might be different set /
If figures to submit to the public. Juggling 1
figures has become an art in the treasury de 1
0artment. i
