the Commissioners of Cambridge will
be in session from A. NJ. tC II noon

Cheaper TRANSPORTATION Essential.

IF THE NATION is to live and business is to
l. proceed and prosper, cheap transportation of
commodities is essential. In the early days of the
nation. water transportation was the only means
of moving products from one portion Of the country
to another. Inland rivers were used and some
canals cut to further enlarge the natural system.
The real development OF the country, however, fol-
lowed the building of the railroads, since which
traffic largely to the exclusion of water trans
tportation. The main trouble now seems to be
the excessive cost of rail transportation. Some
means must be found TO reduce its cost.
BY cheap transportation is meant transportation
at rates which bear a reasonable relation to the
might be cheap with wheat at 81 a bushel might
be prohibitive with wheat at 81 a bushel. There
fore, ii becomes a question as to whether the
railway can take the place of the waterway and
whether it is possible to maintain land transpor-
tation at a rate the traffic can bear.
Any number of instances can be quoted 10 es
tablish the fact that foreign countries can move
their products into American markets at less cost
than American producers can move competitive
products into the same markets. For instance,
it has been possible to move lumber from Seattle
to New York via the Panama canal, down one
side of the triangle and up the other, at a less
rate than by the direct route on one side of
the triangle. Fortunately, the new tariff law
is in some respects tending to overcome this un-
endurable situation-
TRANSPORTATION costs, however, are not reck-
oned only in terms of money, but in terms of serv'
ice as we'll. Unless facilities are adequate to han
die the existing flow of business promptly any rate
is expensive. And so 1t is true that efficient sew
ice may compensate to some extent for absolute
cost of transport A possible solution to the prob
lem would be in the development of our inland wa
terways, and thus combining the facilities of land
and water transportation, the former for expedi-
ency in necessary cases and the latter for economy
of rates, a successful OF the ex
pertinent might be realized.

Real Man.

HHE PASSING of James K. Mann, member of
i congress from the Second Illinois district,
cannot be viewed otherwise than as a severe loss TO
the Republican party. AS a parliamentarian he
was without a peer and as n national legislator he
was simply dynamic. To his colleages he was known
as the Congressional Index - From the day he
became leader Of the Republican minority in 1911
10 the day Of his death 1t is doubtful if any bill,
however, unimportant, escaped his perusal, 50
that when it appeared ON the floor of the house he
was acquainted with its nature and effect.
Mann was a sadly overworked congressman dur
ing the eight years Wilson was in power. 1t was a
mans job TO watch the Democrats and see that they
put nothing over without the public at least having
knowledge of it, and he never failed in that partic-
ular, though he and his party were frequently pow
erless to prevent some of the atrocious legislation
of the war period. you can't fool Jim Mann" be-
came a congressional truism- +.
he was a little crotchety at times. Small men
remember this, but big men ascribe it rightly to the
terrific demands on his time and his impatience
with pettiness, personal interest or local tnsular
ism. He believed that a congressman's first duty
was to the nation at large, and any representative
who took the other view got into his bad graces
jnstanter. To him the "bloc" system was utter
~ abhorrent.
Mann's first serious disagreement with his party
iwas with respect to the P~ayne-Aldrich law of
1900. He had been selected as head of a sub-com-
.,nittee 10 investigate and report on the print paper
tschedule, and he brought in a report for free
paper. The Republicans at that time, and with
good reason, believed such a provision to be pre-.
~snature, but so sincerely was he welded to the idea
that he voted against the whole bill because paper
was not made free. When the Democrats took
over the house in 1911 Mann was put forward as
aminority leader, and Serene Z. Payne, ranking
member of the house, who was worn out with
tariff legislation sponsored Mann's candidacy, but

Economic Loss to Illiteracy

The fact is self-evident that an edu-
Gated nation Is a more productive
one. Education pays. Where inteili.
Eence reigns the land Yields its grains
and. fruits IN greater abundance. the
mines are more intensively worked
and to greater advantage. and the
various Industrial and commercial
enterprises are moro scientifically
and successfully conducted. Fertile
soil. t'mbered land. water power. and
antly squandered by an illiterate
people.
Franklin X. Lane, In one OF his H.
lluminative addresses. stated hat II
the productive labor value OF an Il.
l~literate Is less by only so cents a day
than that of the educated man or
woman, the country was losing $685.
oOo, 900 a year through iliiteracy.
This statement is based upon me sta
tistics Of the 1919 census, which
lherates in the United States above
1920 show a total OF 4.es1.e05 Hitter
atas IN the United States These
figures are based upon inquiry. mere
ly. and only those are classed as r.
Vterates who are unable to write IN
their native language.
/ Many authorities have long thought
that a test of ability to use the Ian
, guage in practical way would reveal
a much larger number of illitarates
In this country. It was estimated
b. those who had studied the prob.
lem that probably 20 per cent OF our
population might be included in a
class which could be termed near f.
lItorates: that IN 10 say. those who
could write their names or possibly
n few sentences but whose ability to
han6le the language was not suffi-
Client to make II a vehicle of real e n
1ightenment-
This estimate was proved TO be well
founded when a more satisfactory
method was evolved in the urgency
of the great war. For the intelligent
mobilization OF the American army II
became necessary for the government
to knw accurately whether u sol
dlers could rea orders and write OF
ders before they could be assigned to
effective service. Our government
therefore gave to a million and a hall
men who were taken in tho first draft
linen from every state I'm the union
and from every class Of people
piece OF newspaper to read and ask
ed each one OF them to write a short
letter. When this test was given II
was found that from 1.565.oi1 mon
examined those who were unable &c
read and understand newspapers and
write letters home" amounted TO 25.a
per cent. We found. therefore. tha;
at the time Of the world war probab-
iy 2 per cent OF our population could
not use the English language as a
vehicle for Information o. expression.
The progress that is O. being
made in the removal OF n%iiteracy is

For the Public Health.

lnHERE is still considerable CONFUSION In the
~ public mind with reference to the Red Cross
and the Wyoming Public Health association in CON.
nection with the little Christmas seal. The Red
Cross formerly carried on the campaigns for the
sale of these little stamps fof the purpose of com
fbating the disease Of tuberculosis. In the sale OF
christmas seals the Red Gross was the agent of
the National Tuberculosis association and the
FUNDS derived were devoted to the humane work
sbf the latter organization. In 1919 a complete di-
Increment between the two great organizations &C
curred. The one d~evoting its energies to the one
branch of human relief and the other as its name
would imply, to a struggle for the cure and pre-
vention of a specific dread disease, Tuberculosis.
The means for the support of the wyoming
branch of the national organization is derived
from the sale Of Christmas seals and health bonds
and a campaign is now being waged for this pur-
pose all over the state.
There should be no confusion in the present drive
with drives heretofore put on by the Red Cross.
The objects are entirely different and the organ
cations in no manner connected.
When you contribute to the Wyoming Public
Health association, your money goes strictly to
fight tuberculosis in the state OF Wyoming, with
the ultimate object of establishing a sanatorium
in the state, where the disease can be more prop
erly and effectUally treated. Meanwhile the funds
are used 10 provide nurses and home or segregated
treatment, medicines and physicians services In
the various counties in the state.
A survey Of the state has furnished the data on
The disease of not only defined cases but cases in
the ~incipient stage. These are the concern of the as
ISOLATION insofar as the prophecies admit. 1t is
a part Of the great work, and possibly its most
important feature to prevent the disease by n
ranpaign of education which is in constant op-
GRAFTON
IN the drive for funds now in progress it is
incumbent upon the citizen to aid to his ability for
the general good health of the community and
state is the greatest asset we can have.
If you have not yet purchased the seals or bonds
do it at once and be numbercl among those willing
TO do their part in the cause of humanity.

4 Requisite in Trade.

WITH III SAME certainty as death and taxes.
w il the Democratic opponents in the senate sue
ceeS in killing the ship measure by fslibuster, our
foreign trade, particularly the export side, will
record 4 terrific slump. And the moment the fig.
ures are made public the Democratic party will
turn right around and blame II to the protective
tariff a tariff bill which protects agriculture
and does not protect manufactures, soon destroys
the domestic market for the products OF the far
mer. A bill which protects manufacturing and
does not protect agriculture soon, COWS the farm
acreage TO wild mustard, Canadian thistles and
farm and factory, but places the work OF deliver.
ing their purchases and products In the foreign
trade In the hands of foreign shippers ties the
hands of both so far as that trade Is concerned.
We have had ample experience with every one
of these situations. We saw Japan squeezing the
last drop of blood from Pacific coast shippers dur
ing the war, when Japan had q monopoly of the
Pacific trade. We saw Great Britain writing up
the rates for all traffic would stand in prS-war
years when American vessels were carrying but
Q per cent of American trade; and Great Britain
took full toll of us for transporting troops TO
Europe during the war. We saw farmers at the
mercy Of foreign competition after the war, and
beforn the emergency tariff law was passed
If the Democrats in the senate balk the ship aid
bill 1t will mean that the three billion dollars
which that party saddled onto the people Of this
country to pay for a merchant marine completed
too late TO function In war and which IL now
costing fifty millions annually to function will
have been practically thrown away. If Great
Britain, Japan and other maritime nations again
get control of our freight transportation-say 90
per cent of it-they viii be carrying close to six
billion dollars worth OF our goods. coming and
going. and since the average cost of transportation
is reckoned at g per cent of the value Of the goods,
on the average. that would mean an annual cost to
us of $3.50, 000. 1000. This does not take into consid-
Grafton the obstacles which foreign trade competi-
tors who also CARR our goods will interpose TO
handicap our export expansion.
Ship aid is as necessary as tariff protection.
Without both we would have n one-legged nation
in, the foreign trade. England has known this Tor
hundreds OF years. 1t ought not take us so long
to learn with her example and experience before us.

would not agree to 4 Mann's assignment TO the Ways
