A SUCCESS IN n. N.

Have you heard in your barber
shop, or at your lodge, the talk that
liquor is more plentiful than ever
before? Have they told you that
everyone is making it, and that it
is Just as good as the bonded stuff?"
and that the prohibition laws are a
Joke?
You have heard it, of course; but
have you believed il? If so, ask
Yourself why the price of bonded
stuff has gone up to record heights,
and why forged labels on whiskey
are thousand times more common
than counterfeit money ever was.
Investigate the matter a little and
you will decide that prohibition en-
forcement has driven good liquor
out Of The market and has made the

profits to make the trade worth.

THE TRUTH ABOUT
THE RAILROADS
(By courtesy Of G. N. Locomotive
Engineers)

"Why did the United States gov
eminent, on January l, 1917, take
over the control of the railroads and
operate them during the war and un-
til February 20, 1920?"
This question was answered by
William Gibbs MsAdoo, former direc-
tor general of railroads during federal
control, before the Senate Committee
on Interstate Commerce, on February
2, 1922. He said:,
In the fall of 1917 the efficiency Of
the American railroads made them
unintentionally, but nevertheless ac-
tually, the strongest ally of the
German Kaiser. The collapse of the
railroads under the burden of war
traffic had almost cut the line of
communication between the American
army at the front and its base of sup.
plies"
When the United States entered the
war it. had agreed to supply certain
quantities Of food to feed the allied
armies and civil populations. Rail-
road congestion under private ma
nagement made it impossible to keep
these commitments. ...s., .
Allied Nations Faced Starvation
On February, 1918, the situation
was extremely black for the allies"
On the 9Th day of that month the
President sent to Mr.. McAdoo col
lective message from the Prime

Ministers Of Great Britain, France

Ministers of Great Britain, France
and Italy, saying:
! az That the bread cereals sent
from North America were in Deem
Der, 1917, 100000 tons below the g.
mount fixed by the Paris conference;
and in January more than 100000
tons below the adopted program
(2) That this deficit of 100000 tons
had been caused by the congestion of
the railroads and the lack of cars and
coal and would result in condition
especially serious, throughout the al
lied states.
(3) That the failure of the railroads
to deliver food had already resulted
in the rations of the Italian army
being twice reduced and the rati0ns
of the French army once; that
unless food supplies were rushed to
Europe Immediately and in adequate
quantities starvation would inevitably
overtake the civil population of the
allies; that the armies could not be
adequately supported and that defeat
would undoubtedly result. ....
The Railroad Administration, upon
assuming control, Immediately gave
its attention to this exceedingly
grave problem. Empty cars were
rushed west, loaded and then sent to
the Eastern Seaboard. The result
was stated by Mr.. McAdoo to the
Senate Committee: H., "

outline plans for meeting the emer-
gency) ! had the pleasure of address
ing letter to the Ambassadors of
Great Britain, France and Italy, in
forming them that loaded cars of
food had accumulated to such an ex-
tent at the, leading Atlantic seaports
that it would be necessary to seriously
consider an embargo against the food
movement unless immediate relief in
the way of ships could be afforded, so
that the cars could be unlaoded and
put back into the essential COM
merce of the country"
The. congestion of traffic had
reached such an acute stage that on
December l, 1917, the Interstate
Commerce Commission. submitted to
Congress report sharply calling at
tention to the critical situation that
faced the country.
Menace to the Public Safety"
On January 2, 1918, Commissioner
Atchison, of the l. C. c., told the
Interstate Commerce Commerce of
the Senate, discussing this special
report: "The conclusion which we all
reached was that existing conditions
were intollerable and constituted a
menace to the public safety"
On March %, 1917, Samuel Rea,
President of the P. r. r., informed
the Interstate Commerce Commission
that the Railroad Executives had
reached the same conclusion. He said

BEAUTIFUL THINGS

The beautiful things are the things
we do;
They are not the things we wear,
AS we shall find when the journeys
| through,
And the roll calls read up there.
We're illustrating the latest styles,
With raiment that beats the band
But the beautiful things are the kind
| ly smiles
That go with the helping hand.
We burden ourselves with cleaning
That neighbors may stop and stare;
But the beautiful things are the
diadems.
OF stars that the righteous wear.
There are beautiful things in the poor
mans cot,
Though empty the hearth and cold,
If love and service are in each
thought
That husband and wife may hold.
There are beautiful things in the
lowest slum
Where wandering Outcasts grope,
When down to its depths they see
you come
With message of help and hope.
The beautiful things that we mortals
buy
And flash in the crowded street,
Will all the junk when we come to
die, <s
And march to the judgment seat.
When everything's weighed on that
fateful day,
The Highest thing will be gold.
There are beautiful things within
reach today,
But they are not bought or sold.
