Railroads and Bankruptcy.

Speaking to the Chamber Of Commerce at
Boston, Mr.. Edgar F. Clark, former chairman
of the Interstate Commerce commission gave
warning that the hampering of the railroads
meant bankruptcy for the companies. Failure
to earn sufficient revenue to maintain the service
means government ownership. The plain infer
ence to be drawn from Mr.. Clark's remarks is
a defense Of the Interstate Commerce commits
sion and the existing high freight tariffs created
and continued by its order. At the time the rates
were fixed conditions may have justified them,
but such conditions no longer exist. The roads
were paying too high for everything they had
to buy, and this applies to the money they bor-
rowed a. we'll as TO the help they hired Wages
for both money and workers are coming down.
Bankruptcy is not an unknown visitor in the
region where the railroads find the bulk OF their
business Farmers have felt it, and those who
have not succumbed face it daily simply be-
cause they can not sell their products at price
that means solvency for them. This is ascrib-
able largely to the excessive charges made by
the carriers. Until relief is had in the form Of
lower freight rates, the greatest OF all our indus
tries, agriculture, will langush. The gentlemen
who compose the l. C. c. as we'll as those who
manage the railroads should give this situation
a little more thought. 1t is not wise to feed the
carriers at the expense Of all other industries.

A Welcome Guest.

Omaha today pays its tribute to one Of the
leaders Of the world war, Gen. Armando Diaz
-Four centuries ago his ancestor, captain OF 4
ship under Christopher Columbus, skirted the
coast of America. peopled then only by hostile
savages. Today the descendant penetrates more
than 4 thousand miles into the interior OF the
continent, finding only friends. Many Of those
who welcome him are from his own land, now
among the most thrifty and industrious citizens
Of America. .r.s... -...s
Hi. message, however, is to all alike, and
though warrior he speaks Of peace, not con-
flict 1--WE must first dsarm our hearts, then the
weapons will fall from our hands themselves" "
he has said. 'When our hearts are quiet, with
the consciousness of peace in our own souls, then
there will be an end of war"
America, which is constituted Of the peoples
OF many lands and races, measured in this way is
fitted to take the leadership in bringing peace and
understanding to the nations Of the world. The
triun,phal tour of General Daz is not without its
influence for mutual friendship.

Financing Bankrupt Europe.

According to the London Times, America
must provide capital for the restoration OF
Europe Especially does the Times dread the
prospect Of Germany dcfaulting in its approach
ing payment of s00,00O.000 gold marks, an event
which will embarrass France materially. This
may be averted if only the United States will inter-
pose and assume some Of the burden. The line
Of reasoning is direct, but not attractive.
Why should we assume any further obligation
on behalf Of Europea Just now the people over
there are indebted, publicly and privately, to the
United States in the sum of nearly $4,000, ,000,-
600, fair indication of the extent to which they
have already been financed from this side. There
is no seiishness in asking them to do some
thing to help themselves before we go much far
ther in our financial altruism. When govern
mental budgets are reduced, when printing
presses are stopped and the torrents of ire
deemable currency are checked, when the people
recover to the realization that no miracle is
going to be wrought, and that the way back to
normalcy is a long and hard one, then help from
this side will not be so urgently needed, and it
will be forthcoming.
To set up an international banking system,
with the United States credit as its corner
stone and chief support may have the effect Of
stabiizins exchange, but only so far as we as
sumo the responsibility for government action
over which we have no control. So long as the
several governments OF Europe go ahead, stead
lily expanding deficits to stretch budgets to meet
impossible conditions, exchange can not be sta
bilized or regulated by the natural laws OF COM
merce, and it is dangerous and unwise as we'll
for US to thrust in to save them by artificial
means in which the elements Of destruction are
the same as those that now torment European
hnancicrs. Heaven helps him who helps him

Base Deception of a Trusting Man.

Few tears will be shed for the misadyenture
OF former police officer in New York who
bought q promising looking whisky barrels
which turned out to have been filled with water.
The $4,000 he paid for this supply of sup
posedy bogus liquor must have made large
dent in his savings, laid up during years Of en-
forcing the law, but still the tragedy brings only
smiles to those who read Of it.
Indeed it is callous public, to remain un-
moved at this imposition on the trusting nature
OF retired arm sof the law. It is to be taken
for granted that he did not contemplate maxi
ing any illegal use Of this liquid treasure. The
men who sold It to him must have known Of
the high moral standard he had upheld as a
member Of the force. No doubt he came to
them with prescription. or at least with the
open declaration that his health required this
moderate amount Of stimulation. 1t may even
have been that his wife wanted it as fuel for
her chaing dish, or that it was for external
application only. There are any number Of rea-
sous why an honest citizen should require %
barrels Of whisky.
Yet the suspicious world Immediately con-
cludes that the victim Of this confidence game
intended to engage in little light employment
as bootiegger. No doubt when he brought suit
against the statesmen he realized the cloud of
misapprehension that would arise. For all that
this case holds high interest A great deal Of
needless suffering might be caused if the practice
Of selling water or tea as alcohol spreads.

The possibilities Of economy that lie in the

Selhshness and the St. Lawrence Canal.

AT Savannah last week Governor Miller oi
New York addressed the Atlantic Deeper Water.
ways convention on the subject Of the lakes-to-
ocean canal As chief executive of the state
through which runs the Erie barge canal. he
could not be expected to exhibit the enthusiasm
that marks western expression on the project
yet he might have had little more consideration
for the farmers and other shippers this side Of the
Alleghanies, all OF whom expect to be benefited
by the establishment of better communication
between the region and tidewater.
After increasing by at least Is per cent the
estimates Of cost turned in by the engi-
neers and accusing the proponents OF the St.
Lawrence canal Of deception in their propaganda.
Governor Miller denies any selhshness in his
stand, and said: "N'
1t is indeed generous proposition of the
middle western states that the consumers of
power in New York and New England shall
pay for the construction of ship canal to
serve the middle west and divert shipping
from their own ports. The audacity of that
proposal is nearly equaled by the imagination
of those who are seeking to convince the coun-
try that ocean-going vessels will ever navigate
an inland waterway more than 1000 miles long,
with hundreds OF miles of restricted channels
and locks. --- &s '>
Naturally, but they did not feel that way
about it when they asked the middle west to as
sist in paying for the Panama canal. 1t is we'll
to remember, also, that only day before yester
day eminent statesmen from New England and
the Atlantic coast were opposing the. .construc-
ton of transcontinental railroads. This project
was visionary, according to the wise men OF the
east, impractical, and even impious, for one Of
them, who has left an indelible impression on
the current of the nations life, declared Al
mighty God erected the Rocky mountains as
barrier between the two sections Of the country,
and it would be flying in the face OF Providence
to undertake to span them with a railroad.
Daniel Webster was not selfish. but the building
of the Union Pacific did not aid the shipyards at
Salem or elsewhere in Massachusetts,, although
it did open up wonderful empire from which
New England has for half century at least
drawn goidcnstream of wealth.
The New York Times, commenting approv-
ingly on Governor Miers speech, calls the St.
Lawrence canal scheme "a wild project" but we
submit that it is no wilder than many another
dream that has come true. Competent engineers
have pronounced it feasible, and statesmen as
able and as far-seeing as Governor Miller have
approved it, and are just as warm in espousal OF
its establishment as he is in opposition. The
canal will be built and the central agricultural
empire will have benefits from it that are now
exclusive to the Atlantic coast.

MORE HEADACHE RELIEF

OfHthe people with headaches due
to digestive troubles. not all are due
10 eating too much starch or toe
much meat. According TO Brown
there are two other sub-groups In
this large division.
The nrst il composed OF those
whose headaches are due TO putre-
factions taking place In the large In
| testine.
DIR. Brown says ne has seen two
such cases, in both OF which each
attack of headache lasted four or
five days. The patients were COM
PEELED TO remain In bed. and when
they recovered he found that they
had lost five to ten pounds. Each
OF these patients failed to get benefit
from the use OF purgatiyes. They
were not cured until they had sub
mltted TO operations for the re-
moval OF appendices or for opening
into and washing out the large in
testines.
DR.. Bastedo thought that intesti-
nal putrefactions were a frequent
cause Of headaches. The treatment
which n large proportion OF suffer-
ers speedily learn by experience to
follow is to take a cathartic and to
eat no food. or none except a little
tea and toast.
DR.. Alvarez does not agree with
either DR.. Bastedo or DIR. Brown as
to the reason for the so-called con-
stipation headaches. He says II is
due to reflex irritation from the
distended lower bowel and not to
the absorption OF poisons.
But that Is a scientific point in
which the sufferer has no special
interest. Both agree that the large
bowel should be emptied as quickly
as possible. some preferring saline
purges and some enemas for this
purpose. Prompt action Of this sort
may give almost instant relief.
DR.. Browns fourth group of head
aches was composed Of the cases
due to gout. This group should be
given no meat. liver. sweetbreads,
kidney or tripe. eggs, peas, beans.
beef tea or meat soup. They do
we'll when they live largely on Irish
potatoes and other vegetables, fruits,
cereals and milk.
To these groups DR.. Bastedo
added ftfth--the people who de-
velop acidosis headaches when they
eat a diet containing too much fat.
The acidosis headaches get more re-
lief from taking alkaiis than they
do from anything else that can be
given them.
AS to the other food headaches,
he finds it impossible to stick to
groups as closely as DR.. Brown does.
For instance. he knows people
who get headaches from eating
eggs and who can eat meat with i'm
punity. Eating chicken causes a
fair number of people to develop
headache. Pea soup or bean soup
is a frequent offender.

Americas s "Unkn0wn"

The unknown soldier has come home, and in
his coming has made universal the sense of ex-
altation, gratitude and pride which kinsnlen and
fellow townsmen have in honoring their un-
known dead The whole nation mourning in
solemn and united recognition of sacrifice which
it has shared with other nations, through those
whom this unknown soldier represents, has
reached new, and, for the moment, cloudless
height, whence to catch glimpse of Americas
duty to her dead, whose worth, having displayed
itself in deeds, can be sufficiently rewarded only
"by honors also shown by deeds.'
An old Danube song has the refrain; Then
the soldier spoke from his deep, dark grave:
I am content If this can be the voice from
the. grave Of the nameless soldier in Arlington
as the morrow Of the conference dawns and
the new chapter in the worlds history begins
to be written, then the supreme glory will in
deed have come near his dust."-New York
Times Gndependent democraD.
No such honors were ever paid to any other
American as those accorded to the mute and
nameless clay of this obscure citizen who gave
the last full measure of devotion" Again, "t
is altogether fitting and proper" that it should
be so.
But what did he die for? Can the American
people today honestly and sincerely answer that
question:? Can they say that they have dedicated
themselves to his unfinished work? Can they
say that they have shown increased devotion
to the cause for which he made the supreme
sacrihees
Scarcely four months had elapsed from the
battle of Gettysburg to the ceremony at which
Abraham Lincoln uttered the solemn pledge
that "these dead shall not have died in vain. :"
Three years have elapsed since the last shot
was fred on the Argonne front and the signing
of the armistice brought the bloodshed of the
world war to an end. Lincolns pledge was re-
deemed by the American people The nation, un-
der God. did have new birth of freedom
Government of the people, by the people, for
the people did not perish from the earth The
greatest experiment in self-government that the
world had ever known met the ultimate test Of all
government
Can it be said today that any Of the pledges
made by the American people themselves, or
in their name, when this unknown soldier went
to war, have been redeemed? Can they say
that they are still highly resolved that their
dead shall not have died in vain? This day, if
its meaning is not TO be lost, is day for the
searching and the sitting of the American heart.

America now has only little more than 8
per cent OF China's trade, but this figure is OF
small import compared TO the new form Of in
ternatonal competition which we are entering.
This consists of the expectation OF capital to for
eisn land for the development and exploitation
of natural resources. Owning railroad, mine
or factory in China is quite different thing
from merely shipping in American goods for

foreign trade as from foreign investments.
