The railroads were taken over by
the administration during the war.
That is they were democratized.
What happened?
The democrat administration was
profuse in promises Of what the
government control" was to do for
the railroads and the people.
What actually was the result Of
the democratizing Of the railroads ?
We had, when 1t was taken over,
the best and cheapest transportation
system In the world.
Mr.. McAdoo promised efficiency
and furnished the worst railway SER
vice in the history of American rail-
way transportation.
He promised cooperation between
management and employees, and de-
stroyed the loyalty of the personnel
of the railways. III
He promised to increase the value
OF the railways, and left them fl
nancial nondescript which the gov
eminent dared not keep for fear OF
bankrupting itself and the companies
hesitate to retain for fear of bank
rupting their security holders.
He promised to add to the equip
ment OF the broken down" railways
Of 1917, and the owners got back
fewer locomotives, and cars and
tracks In worse repair than when he
accepted the property as a trust of
the United States government.
one billion three hundred and
seventy five million dollars loss on
the democratic administration Of the
railways for twenty-six months!
Nor II that all. for this vast sum is
merely what the democratic admin
istration loaded on the taxpayers
thru the United States treasury. TIC
that must be added about $1,000
900, 1000, loaded directly on the Amer
lean people thru increases in freight
andi passenger rates. So the grand
total OF what the characterization OF

BIB THE WORM IuRn7

"A VIE is SUING her husband for
divorce at Atlantic asserting that he
was guilty OF cruel and inhuman
treatment when when he insisted
that she should push on mired
automobile. The wheels spun mud
on her. Then he acted up one day
when she had descended from the
car perhaps to pick a bunch Of red
clover or a branch OF plum bios
SONS by the roadside When she
came to get in he ran away from her
with the machine and caused her to
run in fear that she might be left
stranded in the road. So size wants
divorce and alimony and the, like.
Perhaps however this Is ore Of the
cases where the proverbial worm
turned. Maybe he was just getting
even. Suppose 1t shall be shown at
the trial that she insisted on driving
from the back seat, controlling speed
and direction squealing when an
other car approached and demand
ing that he stop dead still when ap-
preaching q railway track and at the
sound OF a distant whistle. Suppose
she fused Unfortunately over his
driving and magnified the Jar of a
slight and unavoidable bumi, into a
calamity, that she was never ready
to go or c6me and kept him waiting
before the front door like chauf-
feur. ETC.. and SO on world without
end? Then what? isn't that also
cruel and inhuman treatment?
Suppose the lady did get out and
push. She wanted to go on didn't she?
How many, many times she had
lolled in the tonneau while he
changed tires under a hot sun in the
dust and sweat of the arena or had
lounged at ease beneath wayside
tree while he pried 2 tire off q
clincher rim In the sweat, OF his
brow. It stands to reason that If he
swore when the tire tool slipped tina,
she reproved him and spoke with
horror and shame OF his disgracefull
language. She could do that. No per-
spiration streamed down her face
and into her eyes. No skinned
knuckles mafred the soft elegance OF
her hands. She didn't have TO bow
her back over q tire pump with 9
leaky valve on those occasions.
It Is long worm that has nc
turning. The mills Of the gods grind
slowly but they grind right. along
just the same. Maybe the lady's grist
was Just ready when the car got
stuck that time. It is a matter fol
serious inquiry and not one whereon
to jump to a conclusion.
Mr.. Man at Atlantic should choose
his jury with care II he picks men
with wives and autos he is not only
certain Of acdnittal bnt likely to be
recommended for pension. But II
under the new deal he should draw a
woman jury something is almost GER

Senator Harding, as the presidential
candidate of his party, is playing the
lead in big-time show, and is not
booked for one night stands in wild
swing over the circuit" says the
Davenport Times.
"Why should Maine go thus
strongly republican? There are
doubtless 1000 reasons" asks. and
answers the Council Bluffs Nonpariel.
/ The Des MONIES Capital says "The
result in Maine is so big that it can
not be misunderstood. 1t is a declar-
alton Of republicanism."
One reason for 'the scarcity Of
houses thruout the country is due
to national prohibition" explains the
Webster City Freeman Journal. "A

Numbered was driven to wonder
what the males said, when, having
been trapped into marriage by this
gay raiment, they discovered j how
homely their mates really were.
But this weakness for ornamental
ton was not confined to the women.
The males affected pinchback coats
and pink shirts and brogue shoes and
purple collars. When they desired to
dress up they inserted themselves
into unyielding shirts and choking
! collars; over these they put coats
with long tails that were constantly
tripping them up.
These made them stylish, but mis-
cradle. Then they oiled their hairs
and polished their, finder nails and
set out to find mate. or II they ell
ready had one, to impress some\ 9TH
er woman with their magnificence.
| One day Numbered visited fash
ionable bathing resort. He saw
woman OF beautiful form arrested
because she wore no stockings, He
noticed, that there were many males
standing around without coverings
on their legs and he said:
| why. pray, do they not arrest
these men. If they arrest that beauti-
full woman? Surely her offense Is no
greater than theirs. And surely her
limbs are more beautiful than
theirs"
"Ah. that is the point" hs was
told. "The male legs are unbeautiful
and therefore there is no danger II
they are seen. But the female limb is
beautiful and must not be gazed up
on"
And Numbered wondered ut the
ways Of Buncombia.

Time for freak election bets. The
old peanut wager seems to be espe-
cially appropriate for Cox enthusi-
asts to make.
The farther the democrat candidate
travels and the more he talks the
farther he gets from the. White
House.
For very wealthy man like Mr..
Cox perhaps the little matter of be-
ing eleven to twelve millions out of
the way on the republican campaign
fund may be considered small
change" Some Of those abnormally
rich persons can't see less than fif-
teen millions. Then its a demo-

Combating the H. c. of l..

Philosophical women here who are
combating the high cost of living.
are making thrift a scientific princi-
pal in a systematic effort to reduce
living expenses. Their campaign is
now running the gamut from puzzles
and games to budget making wher-
ever groups meet for social or more
serious purposes. Steady, unobtru-
sive burrowing under high prices is
the order of the day among local or
CARNATIONS which are making thrift
regular part of their programs.
Revised editions of budgets are now
being distributed and are proving
most popular. March marked the
close of an intensive three months
campaign to reduce household expen-
ses in many parts of the country, but
in Oakland there was not an organic
ed effort in this direction hence house
hold expenses were not materially
cut down.
