Dorothy Dix Talks
The Troubles of the Good.
BY DOROTHY DIR
WoslA's Highest Paid Woman Writer.

2 Next to a bad reputation, there Is
nothing in the world so uncomfortable
and inconvenient as to have a good
one. II you want to live in peace.
and happiness. and comfort, and
avoid wrinkles and troubles, YOU must
never establish a reputation Tor ex-
cellence in any particular line II you
do you are its bond slave for life.
You cannot run away from 1t, or leave
it behind. Go where you will, it will
follow you.
You may think you have lost 1t, or
Elived it down, but just as you get ready
to enjoy yourself somebody is sure to
come along who knows your record
for superior goodness, or self sacrifice,
or whatever it is. and SO rivets your
chains on you again.
1t is very sad to think that we
have to guard against our most ami
able impulses. if we wish to live in
reasonable peace, but it is a fact, new
ertheless- I presume there isn't any
body with a heart in them as. big as
la nickel who doesn't love little chill
dren, but IL you are once rash enough
to make an undue parade of this, and
get a reputation for it, your life will
be made a martyrdom.
Every time your neighbor gets busy
making a dress, or wants to play
bridge all the afternoon, she bundles
her nursery in on you. cot course
wouldn't do this with anybody else, "
she says, "but know how fond you
are of children" Fond! Bah. When
you had planned a nice, quiet after
noon with a novel, and are feeling
like a female Herod. But you can't
say anything. It's your fatal reputa-
zion.
OF course every one likes to enter
tain their friends, but once get a rep
utation for hospitality and you had as
well hang out a sign of free enter
tainment for man and beast" People
you never heard of write and tell you
they are coming to see you: people
you have met at summer resorts, and
on railroad trains descend upon you at
unexpected moments; distant relatives,
who had forgotten your existence I'M
til they happened to see a chance to
shirk a hotel bill, look you up when
they come to your town.
They come with queer trunks and
nobby bundles, and they stay, and
stay, and stay. Goodness gracious,
haven't we all slept on the dining room
sofa while Cousin Sally and the twins
occupied our bed, and eaten the scraps
after six unexpected guests had
dropped in to dinner? You see 1 am
perfectly unceremonious with YOU
say these unlimited deadbeats, be
cause every one knows how hospita BILE
you are" And there you are Who
has the courage to stand up ard deny
the good reputation that is sure to
land them in the poorhouse?

She didn't answer and they mount

THE RAILROAD MUDDI.E.

There is being manifested IN vari-
Gus quarters a disposition to make of
the railroads q pawn in the political
game of chess. The railway brother
hoods are insisting on a continuation
Of government operation for another
two years, while knowing well that the
service will continue TO be inefficient
and Improbable; that an ever in
creasing deficit will be piled up for
the people to pay. Their sole aim is
to obtain a higher rate of pay and they
know that they can gain this more
easily from a political management
than from a business management.
The railroads should be returned to
their owners as speedily as possible
and under conditions that will enable
them to pay their own way and will
compel those who use the roads to put
up the money and not the millions of
taxpayers who rarely use them.
Public opinion is strongly in favor
Of legislation permitting the railroads
to operate under conditions which will
be an incentive TO efficient service and
to the construction of new lines. The
service will never be efficient unless
the roads are operated at a profit. At
present the railroad investment of the
country aggregates $4,000, 900, 900.
All that SUM is private capital. An,
other $4,000. 100000 Is necessary to
make the repairs and purchase the new
equipment necessary to restore service
on q pre-war basis. 1t is self-evident
that some inducement in the way of
a prospective profit must be offered to
keep present investors from unloading
and to invite new capital.
The Cummins bill seems to be i'm
possible in its present form; for its
effect would be to cause stockholders
to unload their holdings as rapidly as
possible; and there would be no money
for extension none for renewals; none
for building new lines. The Cummins
bill fixes a rigid limit on the profit a
railroad may make, but offers no
guarantee against loss. The profit is
not greater than the prevailing rate
OF interest on mortgage loans where
there Is no risk.
1t is being charged that the enemies
Oh private OpeFAIiOH COinOlueo "
make the bill so drastic that it would
force the railroads into the hands Of
receivers. They intended, 1t is said,
that it should be impossible for the
owners to finance the roads. Their
whole aim was to make the service ex-
pensive to travellers and shippers, to
make it unsatisfactory and TO precip
itate g, condition which would compel
the government to take the roads back
from their owners. The whole scheme
was to make it impossible for private
ownership to succeed-to hamstring
and cripple it in such ways that the
service would be poor, rates ihtoIer-
able. extensions impossible and the ir-
ritation of the public SO great that
there would be a demand to return to
governmental operation. Such a plan
would bring about a paralysis of in
dustry thru system akin to wrecking
a bank.

A NEW YEAR SUGGESTION FOR A

everyday suggestions were the things
that helped him most, and to keep
