times its nominee for the Presidency,

factors in life. He loved his fellow

victions suffering the consequences.

While in the federal prison at
Atlanta. Ga, charged with obstruct-
ing the draft during the World War,
an interviewer asked what had been
his greatest experience in prison
life and he replied:
Il have discovered that love is
omnipotent. All the forces on earth
cannot prevail against it. Hatred.
war, cruelty, greed and lust must all
give way before it. 1t will overthrow
all tyrannies. 1t will empty all
prisons. 1t will not only emancipate
the human race eventually but to a
great extent it lifts us individually

native of Terra Haute, Ind, born
on November s. 1855, he remained a
resident of that city and obtained
his first railroad position--locomot.

Indianapolis Railroad, working from
1871 to 1874. The next five years
he was employed in a Wholesale gro

swered the call of railroading.
Political Limelieht
Debs first came under the political
searchlight in 1879, when he served
as city clerk at Terre Haute, Ind,
holding the position until 1888 In
1885 he was elected to the Indiana
Legislature.
Debs opened his labor activities in
1880 when he was chosen grand sec
retary and treasurer of the Brother

to lend $1,50O,OOO Cincinnati banks
promised $1OOO,OOO. and the country
banks offered a bit more. A few weeks
before the warehouses were to open
for the receipt of tobacco a counsel
for one Of the leading banks of Louis
vile gave out the opinion that the
whole proceeding was illegal. For a
moment it looked like the new asso-
citation must fail. But the bankers
and the business men of the South
didn't see it that way. Judge Robert
Bingham, editor of the Louisville
COurier-J JOurnal, offered a million dol
lars of his personal fortune. James
Of Kentucky, urged the bankers to
stick to their promise to see the asso-
citation through. And they did-three
hundred of them.
Given Much ENCOURAGEMENT.
Only few months ago the chamber
of commerce of Minneapolis, Mimi,
chartered a special train and took a
trip through the Northwest. They
wanted to get business men in the
Northwestern states interested in CO.
operating with the farmer. They trav-
eled through three states, stopping in
all the larger towns to talk about
farmer cooperation. E. W. Decker
president Of the First National Bank
of Minneapolis, represented the Middle
Western banking interests. Whenever
the train pulled into a town, Decker
stood on the rear platform ready to
tell other bankers and other business
men how Minneapolis was trying to CO.
operate with the farmers in solving
their mutual problems
It's not only the Middle Western
and Southern bankers that are giving
their support to farmer co-operatives.
Otto H. Kahn, a New York banker,
has declared that cooperative market
ing is the sole hope of the man who
tills the soil and milks the COWS and
watches the orchards.
Bernard NJ Baruch, the New York
financier, travelled 1,20O miles a short
time ago to talk to three hundred
farmers who met in Chicago for the
annual meeting of the American Farm
Bureau federation. And what he
urged these farmers to do was to CO.
operate. He told them that big busi-
ness stood ready to help them over
the hard places.
The late President Warren G. Hard
ing in an address before the national
agricultural conference at Washington
made a special plea that the farmer
be given every opportunity for group
selling.
The press, too, has recognized the
significance of the new movement. 1t
has given columns upon columns of
printed support Farm papers were
the first champions of cooperative
marketing. Magazine editors soon
took Up the cause. Today the biggest
newspapers and magazines of the ma
ton are carrying top heads and front
na@e stories about the farmer and his

The fastest speed ever made on a
railroad was achieved some 20 years
ago in Germany, on military railroad
between Berlin and ZOssen, where some
costly experiments were carried on to
ascertain how high a speed could be
obtained on steam railroads under cleo
tric traction, and at what expenditure
Of power. The experimental runs were
progressive The speed soon passed
the 10Q-miles-an hour mark and then
rose, successfully. to 110, 120 and final
" 10 1870 miles per hour The limiting
conditions we're found to be not in the
car but IN the track, which proved to
be unable to stand up under the severe
stresses imposed upon it; and this in
spite Of the fact that it was specially
prepared for these trials.
We are thus brought to the con.
cluson that schedule speeds of 100
miles an hour can be attained only
where the topography is favorable to
fairly level and straight lines Even
under these conditions it would be
necessary TO design q special roadbed
and track of costly construction, in
volving many tunnels, long and costly
embankments the elevation or depres-
sion Of the tracks through all towns
and cities, and the complete elimina-
ton Of grade crossings. Also, the road
would have to be equipped with some
form of automatic train control, sim
pie, rugged and absolutely reliable.
But when, if ever, such q road were
built, its cost both for construction and
maintenance would be so great THAT its
use would be restricted to those whose
purse was deep or who, by reason Of
emergency, were willing to pay q high
price for an extra forty to fifty miles
an hour Of speed. Scientific Ameri-
