JAMES F. KELLER ANSWERS
FINAL SUMMONS TUESDAY

Another veteran of the Civil War
has answered to taps and the life of
James F. Keller, beloved husband,
parent and friend, has sought shelter
beneath the folds of the flag for
which he fought.
Tuesday, November 1, at an early
hour the summons came, after an ill
ness of several weeks, part of which
time he lowered between life and
death.
The deceased was born in Scott
county, Illinois, on January 5. 1912
At the age of 20 he entered the serv-
ice with Co. C, 91st Illinois Infantry,
2nd Division.
On Thanksgiving Day. 1866, he was
united with Sarah Stuart and the
home was blessed with four children,
all of whom are living and were pres
ent when the end came. They are:
Mrs. Fl. H. Barsby of Denver, Mrs.
w. H. rutherford of Manitou, Mrs.
Charles l.. Keller of Delta. These
with the dear little mother are left
to mourn the loss of husband and
father.
IN 1872 the Kellers moved to Ne
braska, and in 1896 came on to Colo
RADIO. They have made their home in
Delta for several years, where they
have endeared themselves in the
hearts Of many.
Funeral services were held Wednes-
day afternoon at 2 o'clock at the
Methodist church, Rev. F. W. Pimlott
speaking words of comfort to the
family and friends. Interment in Gar
net Mesa cemetery followed. There

Railroad Economies ShOaU Up
CFrom the New York Herald.) }

While the debate on the need for
national economy has thus far out
stripped by large margin the econ
omy, the railroads OF the United
States have gone boldly ahead with
their program OF saving. and have
demonstrated once more the old
truth that a dollar saw. I is two dol
lars earned. At this time last year
the doleful reports OF operating rev.
enues and expenses for June, 1920,
were coming in. They showed that
for every 81 earned the railroads
were spending something like $1.O4,
pledging their credit TO make up the
deficit.
For June OF last year the gross
earnings OF 1876 class one railroads
were S492, 900. Operating ex-
penses alone were $475.s21, 600;
ninety-six cents out OF every dollar
were paid out for wages and trans
portauon costs. The other eight
cents OF expense to the dollar OF
revenue went for hire Of equipment
and rentals. leaving a deficit of s14,-
662, 900 for that one month alone.
Mark the different story for June
1921. Efficient management, careful
outstanding OF funds. elimination
from payrolls OF unnecessary job
holders enable the roads not only TO
Offset the reduction in gross reve-
nues due to slack business but to re-
port a surplus OF $51,542.00o. This

Editorial Opinion
BACK 10 THE CONSTITUTION
e New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
This newspaper halls with entire
satisfaction the action OF the Sem
ate OF the United States In so
amending the Willis-Campbell bill
as as to make heavily punishable as
felony every search or seizure of or
from person or home without a
specific warrant. The amendment
applies to violations of constitutional
rights not only under the prohibi-
ton law. but under all laws, State or
Federal.
The foundation OF personal liberty
in this republic is in the Fourth
Amendment of the Constitution Of
the United States. II guarantees
the people not only against unreal
sonable searches and seizures, but
also against the issue OF warrants

revenues, gain effected entirely by
the reduction in operating expenses
to 1919, ss1, 900. as compared with
the s475,S21, 900. Gross revenues
for June, 1921. declined to s45s,-
249,OOo, or about $33,Oo0,000 less
than the gross revenue for the same
month a year ago.
The railroads now spend on ac-
count OF transportation costs and
wages only thirty-two cents out OF
their 81 of revenue, and ninety cents
out of each revenue dollar, includ-
ing transportation costs, hire, rem
tails and all. the total Of which re-
quired almost s1.04 last year
The margin Of fourteen cents saved
on each revenue dollar this year
means the dawn OF the new railroad
dav: the rehabilitation OF railroad
credit, the restoration of equitable
compensation for the services rem
dered both by capital and labor in
the transportation business. Above
all, this margin OF fourteen cents
saved foreshadows the return of
lower railroad rates, which must be
restored before we can have domes-
tic prosperity. or successfully COM

whose carrying costs are lower than
