maybe skates political as gifted

framed up some dizzy tales. of
living beings dwelling there, we
thought their tales We're bunk;
no orators We're yelling there,
no statesmen peddled bunk. We
gave no time to pickering, our
platform was so strong; but
now Professor Pickering has
shown us where we're wrong.
He's found a lot of greenery,
strange plants that grow and

weayed with words than that presented
by the veteran who talked from his heart
to his former comrades last week.
The speaker told of the character of
the men who were taking advantage of
the schooling offered by the Rehabilita-
tion Schools and urged on the people at
large to look upon these men as coming
assets to the country instead of liabili-
ties as has been the case with many
of the wounded men of previous wars.
"They hate this hero stuff" was the
way Capt. Woodside expressed himself
in regard to the many compliments
piled on the shoulders of ex-service men.
In brief but vivid manner the speaker
told his audience how the Yankees had
entered the fray, when the French and
other allies thought it was too late, and
stemmed the tide of the onrushing Huns.
Captain Woodside after telling of the
bloody side of life came down to the
present day and told of the conference
on the matter of arms, now in session
in Washington. He said that he hoped
that it would never be necessary for
another American boy to offer himself
as a sacrifice on the altar of war but
urged them to prepare themselves at all
times in case they should have to make
this sacrifice so that the conditions would
not exist as they did in the last war.
The speaker closed his address with
the poem "Your Flag and My Flag" he
received big ovation when he took the
front of the platform to start his ad-
dress, but this sounded like whisper
in comparison with the three lusty cheers
he received when he finished.

mony, although not so arranged was

Are in BAD PLIGHT
Secretary of l. C. C. Says Rail-
roads Are in Trouble.
Face Bankruptcy if Conditions
Are Not Improved Soon.

In connection with the attitude of
the public toward the freight rates at
the present time, the Santa Fe has
issued, in the form of bulletin, the
following part of a letter sent by Sec
rotary George B. McGinty- of the
interstate commerce commission to
Senator Willis of Ohio. relative to
freight rates:
The commission is as anxious as
the shipper and the carrier to find
solution of the transportation prob
lem We cannot, however, look at the
situation from one side alone.
this not a question today whether
or not the rates shall produce II or
per cent upon the value of the car
riers' properties.
Roads In Bad Plight.
THE unfavorable conditions in
commerce and industry generally and
the unfavorable plight of individuals
and individual industries cannot be
worse than the present plight of the
railroads.
More than one-half of the car
riers are earning less than their OPP
Grating expenses and taxes. A very
few individual roads are earning their
interest charges. Some of them are
lot even earning their operating ex-
penses.
att is obvious that the present con-
dition cannot long continue without
general and widespread bankruptcy Oh
railroads.
Operating Expenses Too High.
This whole subject is receiving the
most careful study. The bare operat-
ing expenses of the railroads consume
more than 80 cents out of every dollar
earned and more than 60 cents out OF
every dollar earned is paid out in com
pensation to employees.
s'ITntil a wider margin can be estab
lished between the dollar earned and
the cost of earning it, conditions can
not substantially improve.
This result must be brought about
thru appropriate readjustment of OPP
Grating expenses the adoption OF every
POSSIBLE and reasonable economy and
general revival in business. We are
not hopeless nor pessimistic as to the
future
