JUST FOLKS
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.
THE EVENING WELCOME.

There's a certain thrill of pleasure in a
battle fought and won,
And it's good to hear men cheering for
some splendid thing you've DONE;
There is real satisfaction when a Business
deal you've made,
And there's pride and Joy in counting up
the profit that it paid;
But the thrill that goes the deepest and is
laden with delight,
Is the welcome of your own folks when
you're getting home at night.
Out beyond the home is laughter of a GER
tain orr, I know.
And it's good to have the friendship of the
men who come and go-
1t is good to win their praises and it's fine
to have them cheer.
But they cannot fill the places Of the chill
dren waiting near:
And the sweetest satisfaction, when all else
has taken flight,
Is the welcome of your own folks when
you're getting home at night.
Just TO have them glad to see you-that's
the answer to 1t all
Glad to see you coming homeward when
the shades of evening fall
Fond of you whatever happens, proud to
spend their lives with you.
Never thinking of your failures, pleased
with everything You do:
Oh, don't know how TO say it, but there
is no thrill that's quite
The equal of that welcome. when you re
getting homo at night.

Thomas Walker Page. chairman of
the United States tariff commission,
in the Journal of>the American Bank
ers' association, issues a warning to
the tariff tinkerers as follows: What
ever truth there may be in the claim
that high tariff is a stimulus to
industry which will increase employ
ment and make possible higher wages,
such a result is necessarily delayed,
while its effect on prices is immediate.
Furthermore, it is difficult to disabuse
the public of the belief that the tariff
is the mother of trusts and that high
duties encourage agreements and
combinations for raising prices. The
association, therefore, of a high tariff
with any discrepancy that may arise
between wages and prices might we'll
cause a reaction in what seems to be
the attitude of the public towards for
eign competition"

The work of untangling the snarl
into which the federal government got
the railroad transportation system
during and subsequent to tpe war is
proceedingIy slowly, with little to in
dictate how and when it will be done.
The outstanding facts of the situation
are, that the railroads cannot make ex-
penses; that they cannot increase their
listing rates; that the railroads can
not continue to pay present costs Of
operation. Neither the roads, their
employees. the shippers nor the public
is at fault. The blame rests on the
dilatory and ill-advised action of the
federal administration. 1t did not adj
vance rates and wages when COM
modify prices were high and the pub
lie could afford to pay. but waited I'M
til prices and wages had begun to fall
and the public could not or would not
pay. Government regulation proved
unequal to its task in the days when
the country could have easily paid
freight rates somewhat in proportion
to increased prices of commodities.

made to suffer for the acts of the gov
eminent or it's agents. The public
will not shoulder the burden except as
