The Penalty OF Success

1t is said on good authority that
600 bills were introduced recently
before state legislatures which
would add 81 900 900 900 annually to
the cost OF operating the American
railroads, and which, II passed,
would undoubtedly lead to rapid
breakdown of private operation.
Such an avalanche Of political at,
tention directed toward single in
dlIstry can be the result of one OF
two things, either dismal failure in
the performance of public obliga-
tion by the rails, or a glittering sue
cess-politicians rarely attack fail
ures.
In the case of the railroad indus
try II is apparent that progressive,
efficient and reliable operation,
strange as It may seem, has drawn
the fire of politics. During nearly q
century of operation the railroads
have striven 10 give constantly bet-

The county is about to add to us already I'M
posing array of school buildings S2O,OOO
structure at Lansing.
The Lansing citizens are known for their CO.
operation along school lines and now that the
money has been appropriated, it is felt that the
work will be carried through to completion.
All schools in the county are rendering
great service to the youth Of this section, but
Lansing probably serves a larger territory than
any other one school, 1t draws students from
big section of the county that has no other
access to high school, and the work being done
has been of the best It will continue to grow
and enlarge with the aid of better building and
of better equipment. The entire community and
county is to be congratulated on the work that

RESPONSE TO POPPY DAY

The members of the Legion Auxiliary were
pleased with the good response given them in
their poppy sale drive put on Saturday. And bet
ter than selling out all of the peoples they had,
was the spirit with which the public bought
them. Those buying were glad to do their part
toward helping the disabled veterans who had
lost health and limbs in helping us. 1t seemed
that everybody was remembering this Saturday
and the ladies in charge of the sales felt as If
they were doing favor to offer the peoples for
sale instead of asking favor. All of which was
as it should have been, and all of which goes to
prove that mankind is not as forgetful and cal
lous as we sometimes think.

Down in Georgia, prisoner who has con-
fessed assault and double murder was shot
while trying to escape. His body was taken from
the morgue dragged about the public square
and then burned. From humanitarian stand
point this treatment seems to be an exhibition
of childish primitive rage, but one is entitled
to speculate as to whether criminal law is not
little too SOFT too slow, and too uncertain in it's
operation in the face of some of the terrible
crimes that are reported through our daily
