ALL MUST COME DOWN.

\ general analysis of the railroad
situation, as it affects the present high
rates for freight and passenger trans
portation, makes 1t clear that all ele
ments which incited to the present
high charges must come down. In a
word, a reduction of the entire cost
of operation must precede an appre-
ciahle reduction in charges for<bas-
senger and freight service.
The largest and most important
charge in railroad operation is for
labor. and the country well knows
how the wages of railroad labor were
forced TO the top limit during the
grave emergency of the war. Railroad
employees took advantage Of the coun-
try's dire predicament and made in.
sistent demands. backed by threats
of strike, when the situation wa.
Such thdt tne snghteSt interference
with transportation would have as
sumed the proportions of a nationa
calamity. And so the demands O
railroad labor for extraordinary com
pensation were allowed.
1t is a plain and practical PROPOSE
ton, therefore, that in bringing abou
the reduction Of operating costs S,
essential TO a reduction In freight an,
passenger charges, railroad labor mus
bear its just proportion of the lowerin,
movement. And the people are en-
titled 10 relief from the presen

loss for one single, all-embracing
lesson applicable to the outcome of
contest fought upon a variety of is
sues. Not so Senator Elkins. He
Knows exactly why Albany and SYRIA
cuse, Kentucky and MARYLAND went
Democratic. 1t was because the pie
had not been passed to deserving Re-
publicans. Shameful as any red-blood-
ed American will feel it to be. there
are Democrats in office under a Re-
publican President. Under these cir
crmstances the wonder Is that the
Republicans got any votes at all. The
Senator names no names, but he
speaks of those responsible for a har-
,nonious Republican party" He also
reminds any one who may be inter-
ested that there is a Congressional
election next year. What is the good
OF anything that Congress can do if
the plums are withheld?
President Harding will be deeply
grateful for this statesmanlike solu-

Charles Hapsburg, the only name to
which he may hereafter lay legal
claim, is now an official exile with

His Wife is with him and his children

Charles will find Madeira far more

a far more distinguished exiled ruler
of Europe passed away little more
than a century ago. But he will not
have the consolation of such a tri-
umphant return OF his mortal remains
after death, for distinguished and
notable interment at the capital of his
former country as was done with the
body of Napoleon.

Simple Way to
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy
It entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, common liquid
arvon from any drug store (this is all
you will need). apply 1t at night when
retiring; use enough TO moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
By morning. most If not ALL of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly, and
your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy. silky and soft, and look and
feel a hundred times better.
