Berton Braley's Poem
AS 1T SEEMS

When Uncle Sam was running of
the railroads
There was quite a lot of kicking
at the job.
For some people would forget war
condfeions must be mea.
And the air with many protests
was a-throb;
All the knockers in the country
made a tunult,
So your Uncle Sammy made his
little bow.
And, admitting all his boners,
gave the roads back to their
owners,
And-you see how much i'm
provement there is now.
When Uncle Sam was running of
the railroads.
He lost a lot of money is true.
And the private operators posed as
rehabilfators.
Who would doctor up the roads
and pull 'em through.
All they asked of Uncle Sam was
half a billion.
With another half billion now
and then;
Then they added to the rate on
the passengers ana lrelBnL,
So the public paid EN- half as
much again.
When Uncle Sam was running 81
the railroads,
He didn't do as well as we
might ask,
But they helped to win the wa,
which was what we tool
'em for),
After private owners bungled a
the task
Still. we rated private ownership
blessing,
Though at present 1t seems
rather the reverse,
For it surely seems to me, viewing
matters as they,~be.
That your Uncle Sam coult
hardly run 'em worse.

IN those places or course mott SO the thing to do
is to write his very STORY OF the Bible and
bring up the lads in the knowledge thereof
Possibly there are sectarian ideas that are moss
grown and outworn. Indeed. there undoubtedly
are such IDEAS but what has the Bible to do with
these false conceptions and misconstru1ngs OF
mankind? Dr. Van Loon finds fault with the
gloomy and hampering demands Of the Christian
faith He is especially anita gonistc toward the at
titude which he claims condemns anything en-
joya Bile as harmful. He thinks half the evils or
the world would be cleared away If people we're
allowed by their religion to laugh and play and
have a good time, to seek and enjoy all kinds of
harmless amusement. To be able to have fun
without a feeling of condemnation He recon-
mends visit to the "Fol1es for dull country folk
as an antldote to 1ynchings and the Ku hlu1
exciten ents.
Here is where the argument OF the good doctor
Ian guishes He says, 1T is impossible for me to
i'm CINE civilized in New York taking up
ynching as recreation-there are too many ether
ways of securing excitement" Exactly so-such
as holdups, murder and assault, occurring daily
and hourly in that city. These last furnish quite
as much excitement as 1ynching. but visit to
the "Foies'' does not seem to dash the enthus-
iasm of certain type Of New Yorker for engag-
ing them.
Religion, today does not draw long face. Re-
Ilgon is constantly recedtng from that point where
by sectarian precept and rule 1t sttpulates what
a man may or may not do for his amusement, ex-.
cepting always those vicious pleasures that rot the
moral constitution and dull the moral conscience
of mankind But aside from 'sectarian religion
what is the fault the Bible and why write it
anew for the Van Loon children? What has sec
tarianism to with the Bible? The various
churches are wide the poles in some Of their,
