Compares Modern Street Talk to
 Language in Railroad Camps

The uso of profauo language on the streets, intomperanro abuse of dumb IauimHls and the folly of mans los- 1 Ing his temper were handled without | gloves at the meeting of the John L" 1 Davis Bible class last evening by the | Mcthodl8t minister after whom the class was named. The class, which meets for its regular weekly meeting and lunch at the Y, M, C, A. every i Thursday evening, had red-hot ser mon handed to it. Rev. Mir. Davis 1 has taken Hs his course Of study the ! Book of Proverbs. Last night he se- cctcd various topics dealing with lack of will power, resulting in intempcr- 'noe, sudden flashes of anger, inde- 'cmt language, etc.
 Prohibition and Proverbs. Speaking Of the ill-troating of ami mals, Mr. Davis referred to a part of | his personal history years ago, when he worked as boy in a navy gang | 1n the railroad. building roadbeds. He spoke of the abuse mules on these construction jobs were subjected to in those days. Passing from there to the
  hundred and ten million people in this Pcountry have enacted into law the advice of the Book of Proverbs writ 'en 5000 years ago"
 Not Distributed That Way. He quoted r. WhitewcIl Wilson, (morican correspondent for the Lon don Daily Ncwa, who is at present en- gagged in writing q book for the Brit ssh people on American prohibition as ayiNg that, despite the fact that there ocms to be more liquor now than eyer before, there really is in the country, counting that for medicinal purposes and all, only an average of me drink per person every six weeks.
 scores Bad Language.
 It was when he spoke of the foul language that is often heard on the oity's streets that the minister waXed exceedingly wroth. Boys of this ity," he thundered "of 10, 12 and 5 Tcars of age, are singing rottener songs and telling smutter stories than the things l heard among hoboes in a 'ailroad camp. Some men in this city lse such dirty low down language nat they ought to have their mouths washed out with soap and water"
 Wise Men V. Fools.
 "The only difference between a wise man and a fool" continued the min ister. lis that, while a wise man has as many foolish ideas as a foolish man, he keeps them to himself. while the fool opens his mouth and every body knows hes crazy"
 Speaking of the foolishness of los in- ones temper, he said: You can talk inteligently to q man as long as you keep your temper. but the instant you lose it then he has you at his mercy. Anger is a momentary in janity All the inhibitant powers that lold a man back and keep him from doing sorlething foolish are nullifled ny a moments anger"

Can there be any stronger proof
offered than the evidence of East
Jordan residents? After you have
read the following, quietly answer
the question.
Erie Farmer, railroad engineer,
East Jordan, says: Seven years
ago had an awful lame back. mad
a sore feeling right across the small
of my back that stayed with me for
days. had stitches in my back when
I wasn't able to move at all and my
back was always lame. When /
stopped over I could hardly get up
again. l surely was in poor shape.
Mornings felt so tired hardly hao
enough strength to get up. Black
specks came before me and were so
thick at times l couldn't see. Through
the night l often had to get up and

CHAPTER XVIII
The Murder Mailman

knew what we were up against
when we headed down to the railroad
layout, the chief and /, leaving the
good old major thoughtfully putting
his cigar In the club smoking-room.
With strike due to be pulled off In
q little more than three hours there
were about a million things that would
have to be jerked around into shape
and propped up so that they could
stand by themselves while the Shore
Line was taking vacation. And
there was only q little handful Of us
in the headquarters to do the Jerking
and propping.
II was precisely In crisis like this
that the boss could shine. From the
minute we hit the tremendous Job he
was all there, carrying the whole map
Of the Short Line In his head, think
ing straight from the shoulder, and
never missing lick; and / don't be-
lieve anybody would ever have sus-
pected that he was a beaten man,
pushed to the ropes In the final round
with the grafters, his reputation as
a successful railroad manager as good
as gone, and his warm little love-
dream knocked sky-winding forever
and a day.
Luckily, we found Fred May still at
his desk, and he was promptly clamped
to the telephone and told to get busy
spreading the hurry call. In half an
hour every relief operator we had In
Portal City was in the wire-room, and
the back-breaking job Of preparing
thousand miles Of railroad for sud
den tie-up was In full swing. Mr..
Perkins, as division superintendent,
was In touch with the local labor
leaders. Persuading and insisting by
turns, Mr.. Norcross fought out the
necessary compromises with the
unions. All ordinary traffic would be
suspended at midnight, but passenger
trains en- route were to be run through
to our connecting line terminals east
and west, live stock trains were to be
laid out only where there were feed
ing corrals, and perishable freight was
to be taken to Its destination wher-
ever that might be.
The. strikers agreed to allow the
mail trains to run without Interrupt
ton, with our promise that they would
not carry passengers. Hoskins and
his committee bucked little ut this,
but got down when they were shown
that they could not AFFORD to risk o

want you to know that 1t amt done

The boss had handled wage earners
too long not to be able to suspect
what was in the wind.
"You men don't want to let your
sympathies carry you too far"
he cautioned. "When you take up
another fellows quarrel you want to
be pretty sure that you're not going
to hit your friends In the scrap"
Hoskins grinned Understandings,

CHAPTER XVII
The Beginning Of the End

However much the Hatch people
may have wanted to avoid publicity
regarding the change of ownership
and policies in the Storage & Ware
house reorganization, the prompt an
nouncement Of q general strike of the
employees was enough to make every
newspaper in the state sit up and take
notice.
We had the Mountaineer at the
breakfast-table I'm the club grill-room
on the morning of the day when the
strike was advertised to go into effect.
There was news story, with big
headlines in red ink, and also an
editorial. Cantrell didn't say anything
against the railroad company. His
comments were those of an observer
who wished to be straightforward and
fair to all concerned, but his edi-
torial did not spare the silly local
stockholders whose swapping and sell
ing had made the coup possible.
Cantrell, himself, mild-eyed and look
ing as II he'd got out Of bed about
three hours too early, drifted into the
grill-room and took seat at our table
before we were through.
81 wanted to be decent about it,
Norcross," he said, forestalling any
thing that the boss might be going to
say about the editorial in the Noun
taineer. "Tm trying to believe that
the men higher up in your railroad
councils haven't fathered this Hatch
> scheme Of onsolidation-which Is
more than some of the other pencil
pushers will do<.for you, I'm afraid.
Thanks to your publicity measures,
everybody believes that you still hold
the whip-hand over the combination
with your ground leases. I'm not ask
ing what you propose to do; / am
merely taking II for granted that you
are going to stick to your policy, and
hoping that you will come and tell me
about II when you are ready to talk"
'T shall do Just that" the boss prom
ised; and / guess he would have been
glad to let the matter drop at this,
/ only Cantrell wouldn't.
81 lost three good hours sleep this
morning on the chance Of catching you
here at table," the editor went on.
"a little whisper leaked I'm over the
wires last night, or, rather, early this
morning, that set me to thinking. You
haven't been having any trouble with
your own employees lately, have you.
