In discussing these two points, I oust be frank, for the American peo- ple are entitled to frankness, This is their problem, and they are going to tain interests want them to or not.

If they see the end of federal control | tions and their future the constant subject of partisan political contro- system of control, which will vitally affect each individual employee, about to go in effect they naturally cannot work with undivided thought and at the highest point of efficiency; they will be thinking inevitably of the in- terests of the private owners whose employees they will soon become, and they will pay less and less attention te the government officials operating the roads. Where the interests of the private owners and of the government clash, as they unavoidably will in which interest to serve. Confusion and lack of efficiency are bound to result, fact that must be faced. Already signs of the difficulty are beginning to appear. With other forms of industry this might not be so serious, but the prosperity and even the lives of mil lions of Americans depend upon the discipline and efficiency of the Ameri can railroad machine, It would be a dangerous experiment truly to play with such an organism merely for fear purpose or advantage, Then, too, were the effort made to continue the present control under ex. isting legislation, the railroads, from 3 of the railroad corporations, Jas the Drasent Jaw t9 of the railroads are resisting pur- chases of necessary equipment for their account. Many of the necessary Improvements, such as joint terminals, while of great benefit to the public, are not relished by some railroad cor- porations for competitive and there fore selfish reasons. Such improve. ments would result in great econo- mies, without which it probably would be impossible to reduce passenger or freight rates during the twenty-one months’ period, It Is Impossible to carry forward an adequate program of improvements and to demonstrate those operative economies which will cheapen transportation in a shorter pe- riod than five years. Must Keep Out of Politics, I would prefer not to mention poli- ties In connection with this problem, because primarily it Is an economie question. But we must not be blind. The American people have been dis- cussing the rallroads for generations; almost every man in public life has gone on record on some phase of the subject, In 1020 there will be a presi. dentinal election. It is idle to suppose possible during this or the next con gress to secure calm and deliberate consideration of the ultimate solution of the problem, much less a fair and adequate permanent settlement, This vital question must not be settled in the heat or passion of partisan poll tics: it must be dealt with in the calm of an inter-presidential election period.

Already the estra charge of one-half cent a mile a war measure, has been removed, and other restrictions enforced by the war are rapidly disappearing. Unfortunately some of the opposi- tion to the proposed five-year exten sion is based on dissatisfaction with gervice given the public during the war. It is argued that conditions have been bad, although this is not true. It cin be stated as a fact, which can not be successfully contradicted, that service has been greatly Improved un- der federal control, In spite of the tremendous demands that the war needs have imposed. Here again it is forgotten appatently that the railroads were placed under government control for the purpose of winning the war against the German autocracy. The first duty was to move troops and war supplies. I have yet to hear a sound criticism of the manner in which that pressing wer sesd wis met. Millions of soldiers were moved safely and ex- peditiously to the seaboard, and from camp to camp. Foodstuffs, munitions and other supplies were rushed to ships at expresstrain speed. The American railroads during the past year have functioned for the war pur. pose. Civilian travel and ordinary business, while of necessity given sec- ondary consideration, have been cared for extraordinarily well in the diffi- cult circamstances, But even in the conduct of ordinary business, the record made by the rail ronds shines by comparison with the record of private control in previous yours when considered from the stand- point of Important trafic.

Weekly Health Talks _ What Doctor Pierce Has Done for Humanity BY DOCTOR CRIPPS. It has always seemed to me that Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.

Whenever he found & remedy that overcame disease, he a once announced it in the newspapers and told where it could be bought at a small price. He did not follow the usual custom of keeping the ingredients secret, so that the rich only could afford to buy the medicine, but opgnly printed the name of each root and herb he used. And so today the names of Dr. Pierce and his medicines are widely known, and they stand for bet One of this grest physician's most sue cessful remedies is known as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, These are little, sugar grows in the ground.
