community? It may not necessarily be hard
labor, but it may be the thoughtful consideration
of ways and means for public beHerment. In
the first place are our streets in as good cond-

the best possible sanitary condition; are the
highways leading into this community in the

THE GRANDEST FLAG

Flag Day observed here yesterday with ap-
propriate services, means something to the AM
erlcan people. It suggests the struggle of the
American colonies for independence; it is a
reminder of the work of Betsy Ross who, in the
city of Philadelphia, with her needle and her
fabrics, constructed the first American flag;
1t reminds us of the course of history that has
added star after star to that galaxy until the
thirteen original stars have developed into the
emblem as we see it today, the flag of great
nation. The flag is the same as that constructed
by Betsy Ross, except that the stars have multi
pied as the nation has developed, and in cele-
bratng Flag Day we commemorate not only the
birth OF the American flag but it's growth in i'm
portance as factor in the economic problems
OF the world. European governments were old
when the American flag was constructed: num-
erous civilizations had risen to power and glory
and gone down like the setting sun, except that
they We're to rise no more. Their banners are no
longer seen and would not be recognized if they
were. Those nations maintained their power
by the sword and by the sword they were sWep1
away. The American flag represents i nation
whose mission is one of peace and philanthropy
y nation that has made greater advancement IL

nations have made in more than u thousand

AN AWAKENING PULSE.

"The railroads are primarily public lnstl-
tuition, though privately owned and operated.
Any concession granted them therefore, is in
tended to react for the public welfare
The paragraph here .referre dto is an apt
illustration of interest being displayed in the
freight situation thruout the country Coming
as it does from newspaper generally believed
opposed to government ownership of the rail-
ways, it yet is an effort at portraying public
feeling. But: why not go further, if it is admit
ted that the railroads are primarily public
institution why should they not be owned by
the public, why not operate them for the public
at public expense for surely it is the people who
pay the bill, whether merchant, farmer, or
others actually paying the checks for freight?
Perchance under government operation in the
stress of war times there was some mismanage-
ment of the lines, but it certainly has not i'm
proved conditions by reverting the roads again
to private control and permitting those individ-
uals now in control, altho the owners, so unmer-
cifully wallop the daylights out of business and
stagnate the country by enormous traffic
charges, so great that the public cannot stand
it. The merchant who directly anti's up the
freight toll must charge the consumerwho
pays the toll-and Mr. and Mrs. Consumer
can't pay it and they stop buying; everybody
suffers.
Everybody operates his business for the
greatest possible profit, it's human nature and
so why shouldn't the rail magnates do the same
and they do, yet the public sits back, calls
the railways public institution, lets out it's
yelps and squea]s robbery" etc. And now the
guns behind the freight fire are stiffening still
stronger, their roar grows. Is it last desper-
ate effort to fight off the inevitable and grab
profits while facing an awakening pulse that is
sooner or later going to demand a change to
either public ownership or such government
control that only fair profit on actual invest
metns will be permitted and the consumer not
be at the mercy of the rail barons
