lust FOLKS
BY Edgar A. Guest.
THE FRIENDLY FELLOW.
Copyright. 1922 by Edgar A. Guest


The smile Of him is winning.
There is kindness in his grinning
There is music IN his laughter,
And no malice in his SHINING:
ia Just the sort of fellow
1t seems juicy-like and mellow
Yet is sound right 10 the middle
And without streak Of yellow.
Isn't better than his brother.
Isn't cleverer than another,
ust a good son TO his father
And the idol of his mother,
ust a man--like all the many
With his faults. of course. but then he
Seems 10 cover them with kindness
So you'd thing he hadn't any.
He is human. II you met him
You'd not speedily forget him.
For you'd feel he would befriend you
II the need came and you'd let him
For he has that way about him
That a cynic wouldn't doubt him;
Not clever. but you'd miss him
If you had 10 live without him.
Yes, you've seen him and know him
Every village here can show him,
It's the glory OF our nation
That we raise him and we grow him
He's the glad, good-natured fellow,
Clean of heart and kind and mellow,
Living. giving, smiling. grieving,
But without a streak OF yellow.

As a matter Of fact many o nstvo

mixture Of all classes. and its preach
ment Of the same creed of American

democracy.
Tho camps are a part of the ma
tional defense program. This side of
the governments citizen camp
project is not specially stressed now
because even the shadow Of war pre-
Ipsration is unpopular. Nevertheless,
the fact remains that these men and
boys who have been taught the funds-
mentels of army service are a waltz

military experts say that a huge re-
serve Of this sort would keep us out
Of war because aggressive nations
would recognize Il rs a formidable

large It's citizens camp program.
When the plans were announced last
spring President Harding said that ne
would like TO see a comprehensive
system OF voluntary military train
ing established for a. least 100 900
young men each year. Judging by tho
response from the men who are
eligible that number could easily be

meet with public approval. The pub
ic has como to believe, by the expert
snces OF recent years. that most rail
road employees look upon themselve
IL constituting class OF especiall,
avored labor. TO be treated with spe'
,ial consideration In tho matter o
hours OF work and wages. Also. th'
majority of people feel convinced
hero is no room for entertaining thi'
opinion.
The six. railroad presidents. in theil
public statement. went into tho wag'
reduction order In some detail. ant
made clear its real bearing upon th'
situation. Among other things the!
said;
"The public should not over

tions made under this decision,

similar employees in other indus
tries The board held. In It's opin-
ion. that, measured by tho present
cost of living, the average hourly
wage of machluists. for instance,
after July /. win still have 10 per
cent more purchasing power than
IN December. 1917. those of car
men 40 per cent more purchasing
power and those of common labor

Ing. their wages viii still be these
percentages higher than Mt the
end OF 1917.
An important fact which
should not be overlooked by the
public because II may have a very
important bearing upon its husi-
ness and comfort. 10 that. where
"a rate reductions amounting 70
more than $3.50, 900 600 have been
ordered by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. the cut in
wages. according TO the decisions
thus far rendered. amounts 10
only s1io.OO0.OOo
These reductions In wages Of
railway employees simply mean
that they must bear some part in
tho readiustments made neces-
sary by changed business condi-
tions. Farmers and business mer
have been compelled to accept
lower prices. The railways havv
not vet emerged from a ceriou'
financial crisis and have been or.
dered TO make reductions In ratel
which they cannot stand withou
reductions Of their wages an'
other expenses.
ITO leave railway wages ol
their present high basis would b
20 ,make railway employees
favored class at the expense o
shippers and all other classes o
people, including other working
men,"
The apparent fairness Of tn
statements will appeal to the pu'
mind and should have much effect
diverting the minds Of many railr
employees from all thought Of orc
ing a strike in opposition to the
duction. They may also remem
. and be reasonably influenced by
fact. that this reduction in wage.

reduction in freight charges. The T
roads will comply with the latter
