- The American Railway Express
company has been denied its re-
quest to increase its rates, by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
We have had some mean thoughts
regarding the Commission, on diff
ferent occasions, but right at this
particular moment we are thinking
that the members are gentlemen
and scholars. We have about the
same affection for the American
Express company that q bootleg
ger has for an enforcement officer.
Politicians, and others animated
by desire to compel the govern
ment to take over the railroads,
are spreading discomfort among
farmers by creating the belief that
while they are undergoing hard
ships the railroads are reaping huge
profits at their expense. None Of
these radical speakers ever tell the
farmers that the roads earned only
3 Is per cent in 1921 which is
far short of making the so-called
fair return" of 5% per cent,
recognized by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, but no guaran-
tee. How many business firms
would be content with any such re-
turn?
Farmers and others need to know
that their worst enemies are the
agitators who are striving to in
crease the kind of government regu-
lation of railroads that has brought
transportation facilities to their
present inadequate condition---for
railroad men do not deny that the
demands of industry in general are
exceeding the available railroad
facilities. ~

Two Minutes of
Optimism
BY HERMAN j. STITCH
Every Man a Menagerie

In France recently they were trying
"Bluebeard" for having murdered Il
dozen or two Of his sweethearts and
wives.
Bluebeard's counsel made IN elabo-
rate defense which included the theory
that their client had 1.-TWO souls''-one
wicked, the other good.
A similar plea was set up in this
country not long ago by criminal who
so tried to excuse his murderous acts
both Of his souls we're locked up to-
gether for the rest of his life.
In cozy. little grated cell, the good
soul will have plenty Of time TO lecture
the other, and that one will have to get
along without killing in the future.
Yet, in reality, not two souls" lived
together in the crazy mind of the French
Bluebeard and his American comrade
in murder. but savage atavisms Of hy-
enas, rattlesnakes and other animal
ancestors.
Something Of this same idea was rec
ognized by the ancients, one Of whom,
Epictetus, wrote "a bear is In every
man.
Another ancient observer remarked.
"!All men are full of dogs. Temper Is
n snarly cur. Destructiveness is d bull =
dog. Combativeness is hound that
runs and barks and bites. We are full
of dogs"
And Zola commented "a hog is asleep
in all Of u.s."
1t has been supposed that We sprang
from monkeys; there has been an inqui :
sition to see If there has not been u
caudal appendage rubbed off and na :
tions have been explored to find man
who had tail as monkey has or some
evidence Of one.
As a matter of fact these people arc
looking in the wrong place, are travelling
much too far and wide.
All they need do is to look inside mos,
any single one Of us humans, and they
will find pretty completely stocked
menagerie-they will see traces of the
monkey, the bear, the hog, the dog and
a good many others.
Probably all the animals are in Us
at any rate, we know human nature i!
fairly full Of the animal.
And man. thinking, reasoning. self
controlled man, the most recently de.
veloped animal, retains his kingship anC
freedom only as he rules with wisdom
and strength enough to keep down th'
! others.

where did Rand get such notions? He
had been born and raised in this little
town, just as she had. They had beer
married for two years. and vet Ju-
dith suddenly realized that there were
things about Rand she didn't know.
things disturbing and vaguely terrify-
ing.
OF course, she had read Of the
world outside In books and magazines.
The moving pictures. too, depicted life
In the big cities. people who dressed
that way for dinner every night. and
who lived in luxury. But to Judith
these were dream people. men and
women with whom she would never
come in contact. She looked at the pic
ture Of herself in the low cut gown,
and shivered. Did Rand call this beau
tiful? just as he had called her beau
tiful when he had come upon her that
day with her hair all around her?
And then In the midst of her trou-
bled thoughts and reflections Rand
came home. He stopped in the door

indignant face to the picture in her
hands. he had the grace to flush duly.

work hidden that you were ashamed
of having me know what you we're

and had taken the picture out Of her

a society belle. with q quiet, humorous.
scholarly husband, had eloped with n
man who was their intimate friend. l..
She had left her little son. and, of
course, had lost her position in English
society, as we'll as her husband. child
and home. The man had been honor
able and had not abandoned her, as
so many lovers would have done, after
the first novelty and infatuation had
passed. but they had wandered about
the continent, deprived Of friends and
position and respect. and had b"en
forced to associate with cheap, fast men
and women. who, like them, had out :
lawed themselves.
The older woman Is still silly and
shallow and vain, with no sense or
maternal responsibility or Of fitness !;
yet. when she finds that her daughter
in law Is on the brink of making the
periences temporarily a little depth of
feeling. Moved by worry, she paints a
picture of her aimess wanderings and
the effort she has had to make, to hold
and amuse her lover, and the general
wretchedness of the situation for twenty
years. She appeals to the young wife
TO make the best of her rather tame and
dull existence and her kindly young
husband.
DUT in vain. The high strung, dis
- contented wife admits that there
may be many establishments and pit
falls. but declares that she prefers ex.
citement and the interest of living ont
her own life, instead of being warned
and settling back into a domestic rut.
