GOOD TOPIC

The Government sank 1900 mil
lions in running the railroads. Under
private control they are now being
operated at cost greater than the
entire expense of conducting the
United States Government.
The question is which could lose
the more money in given time. the
railroads by running the Government
of the United States. or the United
States by running the railroads.
Here is fine subject for school
debate.

Girl May Fight 1t Out.
Chances for New Woman Ma

land Mrs. Hitchins have rapidly swung
into their real strides, especially the
doubtful that either would be able to

and Zenzo Shimidzu, japanese tennis
stars, can win a place in the final
round of the Davis cup series today by
defeating India in the doubles event
at the Onwentsia club, Lake Forest
The Japanese players are the favorites.
Kumagae and Shimidzu achieved a
notable victory when they won singles
matched with Mahommed Sleem and
Dr. A. H.. Fyzee of India. Kumagae
defeated Sleem, 81. 6-1 and 81, and
Shimidzu triumphed over 'Fyzee, 6-2,
6-1, 81.
Should the japanese players win the
doubles matches this afternoon, they
will have captured three of the five
events, and this would give them a
team victory. The islanders would
then qualify to meet Australasia at
Newport within a week and a victory
at Newport would give the japanese
the right to play the American team
in the Davis cup challenge round.
Fyzee and L. S. Deane will constitute
the India doubles team that will OPP
pose Kumagae and Shim1dzu this
afternoon.

MONEY IS NO OBJECT
r. I. Passenger Traffic Increases
Despite Hike in Rates.

The increase in passenger rates has
had no tendency to slow down travel
on the Rock Island, according to C. E.
Bascom. city passenger agent for that
road. Instead, Bascom says there has
actually been an increase in local traf-
fic so far this month over July. Tourist
business is also holding it's own. but
the rush both west and north is ex-
pected to drop off within a short time,
especially if Kansas insists on remain
ing in the summer resort column SO
far as weather is concerned.
