THE RAILROAD SITUATION

High freight rates are killing bust
ness, and low freight rates, under
present conditions, would kill the
railroads. Nominally, the railroads
have been returned to private con-
troll, but as a matter Of fact, they
are not being operated by their own
ers, except in name. They are still
under the complete domination of
the railroad unions, installed in this
position by the Government. From
beginning to end Government man.
agement of railroads was rotten to
the core. The Government permit
ted the establishment of system by
which the employees practically die
tated the management of the rail-
roads.

facturer who sees the effect of the

UGLY BUILDINGS

In many country towns some very
commonplace or ugly building will
occupy the most conspicuous position.
The old time blacksmith shop often
used to collect q miscellaneous assort-
ment of old junk displayed around
its yard. Repair shops Of various
kinds are centers for discarded mater
ials and rubbish that gives a slovenly
character to whole neighborhood.
The owners Of such eyesores are
not always wholly responsible. In
some places the people are joining
to move such buildings from some very
conspicuous position to a side street,
giving the owner compromising ad-
vantages. Usually he is glad to get
his accumluations of ages cleaned
up. Such a change helps . town to
make q fresh start. Any eyesores
in Julesburg that could be done away
with by mutual cooperation?

high freight rates which now must
be paid should realize that he is per,

pIoyes. Officers Of railroads have

agement. They are not real mana
gers. They are merely the puppets
played upon by railroad employees.
So long as the employees can, under
Government direction, absolutely DOM
mate the management Of railroads,
lower freight and passenger rates are
an impossibility.
Railroad, loaded as they are with
Government extravaganza and Gov
eminent inefficiency and Government
permission to railroad unions to run
every detail of the railroad business,
are headed down the road to ruin,
unless . change takes place.
The ruination of the railroads would
only intensity the inadequacy Of trans
portation facilities.
If railroads should be turned back
to Government control. conditions
would be ten times worse. We would
simply have the mistakes and the in
efficiency and higher rates intensi-
fled. Every well-wisher Of the coun-
try, every man who ships a pound of
freight, every man whose business is
hampered by railroad improvishment
and railroad inefficiency, may well
pray to be delivered from Government
ownership or Government control, or
the control of railroad brotherhoods.
Without repeal of the Adamson
Law, and all other unwise legislation
which takes the control of railroads
out of the hands Of their owners and
puts it into the hands of incompe-
tent and radical railroad union men,
more and more desperate transpor-
tation condition is inevitable.
Until the country comes to full re-
alization of the situation and forces
repeal of the unwise railroad legis-
lation, put through by socialistic
administration, dominated by rank,
radical labor unions, we can have no
safety of business Of any kind.

ing Jesus, say "He saved others;
himself he cannot save" Rather
should we have the spirit that they
had when their bodies were broken

Others"
The picture of the crucifixion as
given to US by Matthew symbolizes
the struggle between the forces of
evil and the forces Of Christian love.
Dean Bosworth, in his "Christ in
Every day Life" well expresses it:
1.-TWO conceptions of the proper use
Of power are represented in this ter
rible scene. The one conception is
represented by the rabbis and priests
in the foreground, insolent, swollen
with pride, striding back and forth
before the cross of Jesus, apparently
wholly triumphant. 1t holds that
power ought to be used to evade sacri-
flee and suffering 1t expresses it.
self in the words, If thou art the
Son Of God, come down from the
Cross. The other conception is i'm
personated by the silent, apparently
helpless figure of one who has lived
life Of matchless power. It holds
that power ought to be used in the
interests of others at the risk Of sacri-
flee and suffering. The figure on
the cross is there because of resolute,
unwavering devotion to the interests
Of others. The contest between these
ideal Of the figure on the cross slowly
two ideals is still going on, but the
gains ground in the life of the world"
Jesus on the cross is to us Jesus
suffering the agony Of a horrible kind
of death that we might escape the
consequences of our sins. And yet
there must have been q wonderful
satisfaction to Jesus when His work
on earth was finished, and when He
knew that by His sacrifice He had
saved the world. The terrible hours
Of suffering on the cross must have
been forgotten in the contemplation
Of what had been achieved. After
all the Christian life is the life of
Jesus; it may be a life of suffering
and sacrifice, but it is the only life
OF satisfaction, Of blessings, of eternal
reward. So we can say with Jesus.
"Be not afraid of them that kill the
body and after that have no more
that they can do"
The message of the cross is a mes
sage Of a wonderful love, the love
OF God for those who have sinned
against Him. And to prove that love
to the world Christ died -for US. The
message is a personal message for
you and for me. Christ died that
you-that Knight live.

his own love toward US, in that, while
we were yet sinners, Christ. died for

THE FARM HELP PROBLEM

The day of flush living, easy work
and big pay in the cities has passed
Many young fellows who rushed SO
impetuously into the factory towns
q year or two ago, thinking to find
an abundant living, are now looking
for work, and wishing they were
back in their good old country job.
In spite of difficulties in getting
satisfactory farm help. those who
hired married men, and gave them a
little cottage to live in with = bit
Of ground for = garden, seem to find
little trouble in keeping them. And
men of that character do enough work
80 it pays to make them comfortable.
The time when the farm hand was
bunked in . little room over q shed
has gone by.
A man who has recently made =
very extensive trip through the rural
sections. reports that farm workers
are generally contented. They do not
share the unrest that is common n
mong factory help. They realize that
their interest is the same as that Of
their employers, and that if the farm
on which they work is prosperous,
they are sure to get some benefit
themselves.
The young man without means, but
who is willing to work, should hire
out to some substantial farmer in
Sedgwick county. His expenses will
be small. He can save money every
year on present wages. In five years
he should make a start himself on
some good rented property or buy
one on mortgage.
The tendency will be toward smaller
farms, which the owner can till him
self and become more Independent
Of hired labor. As land becomes
high priced, and intensive methods
Of cultivation develop, the land will
have to be cut up into smaller tracts
These will make it possible for young
men to become farm owners without
assuming such a heavy debt

our admiration and inspires us to
nobler sacrifice and higher endeavor.
Our own country witnessed a mar
velous example Of the power of loyal
ty to a great cause in the world war
a short three years ago. Never in
the history Of the world has an en-
tire country been inspired to such
lofty idealism as was the United
States in 1917 and 1918. 1t seemed
almost like a crusade, so ennobling
was the spirit that animated nearly
all the people. It could be said Of
them as is inscribed on a roll of honor
that hangs on the Wall of one of
the Christian churches as a memorial
to those who fell, "They served with
out thought of self, that the principles
of liberty, justice and equality might
prevail for all mankind"
But even then there were those
who, like the priests and elders sur
rounding the Cross on which hung
Jesus, took advantage Of the situation
in which the war placed them, and,
while four million men were enlist
ing beneath the banner Of world free
dom, and while as many families
and more were skimping and saving
and enduring in many instances real
hardships. they turned their time and
attention to the making of money,
even at the expense Of those who
were fighting for them. And today,
it seems that large part of Ameri-
ca is in danger Of forgetting the
services of the boys in khaki and the
boys in blue. But we cannot, we
must not be deaf to the pleadings
of the disabled veterans of the late
