In Memory

OF our dear mother, Louisa
Schubert who died March 8, 1918:
Dearest mother how we miss you
Since you passed away,
And our hearts are aching sorely
AS we think Of you today.
The depth of our sorrow we cannot
tell.
In the loss of our mother we
loved SO well;
Your loving heart Is not at rest,
God called you, he alone knows
best,
And while you lie in peaceful sleep,
Your memory We shall always
keep.

your own. You had chance to com
pare yourselves with the men oi
other armies and see that the Amer.
lean soldier stands head and shoul-
ders above any of the soldiers of the
allied armies. These comparisons
should make you prouder of your

means about everything that is
worth while. I know you will

ideals for which your organization

After the talk, the General shook
hands with the members of the

WHAT 10 YOU THINK
ABOUT THIS

There are men III Morgan Coun.
ty who pay out more money on the
upkeep and running expenses on
their automobiles each year than
the majority of the teachers of
Morgan County receive in a year.
Does this look to be just and right?
How can the educational work
OF the county make the proper pro-
gress under such conditions? What
must be done? Would it not be bet.
ter to raise the salaries of the teach
ers and thes tandard of RECRUITMENT.
Somethig must be done? If some.
,hing is not done one way or the
other we are not going to have
any teachers to carry on the school
work of the county.
1t is fact that the large major.
ity of the teacher of Morgan Coun.
ty are under paid. 1t is also a fact
that a few of the teachers of coun.
ty are paid too mt ch. The incom-
petent and the inefficient teacher is
nigh at any price. How shall we
eliminate the inefficient?

TO MAKE INVESTMENT SAFE.

III an address on "The Railroad Puz
xle," delivered in Philadelphia, Janu.
ary 8, DR.. Emory r. Johnson, dean OF
the Wharton School of Finance, and
one of the nations leading authorities
on railroad transportation, declared
that "after the first of March the COM
panies must be self-supporting or be.
come bankrupt" Continuing, he said
"Can the railroads be successfully
financed and operated when they are
returned to their owners? For two
years the government has drawn upon
the public treasury to sustain the
credit of carriers.
IF the carriers avoid failure their
income must cover operating expenses,
maintenance and capital charges; If
the companies succeed to the extent
that is demanded in public interest,
they must not only be able to meet un-
avOidable expenses, they must have
some surplus revenue.
''If there is no income to be used In
part for betterments and in part for
building up surplus or reserve fund,
the public will not invest in the rail-
roads, their credit cannot be re-estab-
lished and maintained and corporate
ownership and operation of the rail
! ways will fail.
'The income of the carriers Is deter
mined by public regulation, and prop
erly so; but from this it follows that
the country must decide between a
policy of adequate revenues to the
railroad corporations of the future and
a policy of government ownership.
"The government is entitled to credit
for having given greater unity to rail-
road operation, both line and terminal.
1t has done much that the carriers
were prohibited from doing The pub
lie now realize that cooperation Of
the carriers In the joint use Of equip
ment and terminals should be encour-
aged, instead Of prevented.
"The railroad legislation now pend
ing in Congress must solve many diff
cult questions, but the most critical one
is that of providing for the future reg
HlatiOn of railroads In accordance with
a policy that will cause the carriers to
secure revenue sufficient to enable
them to perform their services ade-
quately and with progressive efficiency.

PrOfiteer And Sedition

There are those who pretend that
laws aimed at the profiteers would
not operate to allay the unrest of the
country; and that the profiteer is
in no way to be accused of being an
enemy to the country in which he
resides. Those who argue such evil
IDENTIFY do not understand the situa-
ton.
Who is the profiteer? It is he or
she who buys an article for $l,OO
and sells it at a gain of from 100 to
500 per cent. The profiteer is he or
she who takes advantage of the con-
ditions of the country to make un.
just profits from their respective
