and properly. To do this reipiircs labor. The -curtailed list of

lesson of getting an article so high that no one can buy it.
In answer the railroad officials assert they must have the
advanced rates or they cannot pay their expenses, and going fur
ther they say, without the business we will have to curtail and
close .'very possible department, a process which is now on.
The whole problem becomes more complex when we read the
deficits of railroads passed up to the government.
As to the working out of the detail to make the properties I
pay, we will confess that the undertaking is a huge one. l'erhaps
there is watered stock and pethaps there is not. That is largely
a matter of viewpoint, for the argument is good on either side.
Hut one fact remains patent and firm: The railroads must op
erate, and to operate properly they are going to need more men
than at present employed. With the first flush of business in
crease employment must increase. Rolling slock and power can
be run for about so long without overhauling and repair, but thai
is not long. It would seem that the darkest ' hour in railroad
work is. with us and that the future must show tip belter.
TUB PRICE JMR. WILSON HAS PAID.
America lakes the life out of her public men.1 No man can
serve the public without paying the price. The best illustration
of this statement is the condition of Woodrow Wilson, now ex-
president of the United States.
We are told that he is a gray, loitering, broken down old
gentleman whose withered hands .shake as he reaches for his
walking slick. Ho has paid the price. America has taken from
him his energy, his strength, and now that he is out of office
he is a wreck with but a short time to live.
P.ut Mr. Wilson led the parade for a number of years. His
word was liiw, his gesture meant action; his demands were met,
his commands were obeyed. .
No one can enjoy such distinction without paying something
for it. There must be a return payment made for everything
received in this world, but somehow as we stop to think of Mr
Wilson hobbling down the steps of the White House it does seem
that he has paid too heavily that we have. demanded too nun li.
And this is said by a newspaper which has usually disagreed
wilh the Wilson policies.
JIM I.INN'S RANCH. .
We notice in Johnnie Kelly's "Those who come ami go" column
of the Oregonian, that Jim l.inn, of 'Salem, has gone out to his
ranch at Rend. Nothing very strange about this, except that it
recalls a bit of conversation the writer had wilh Mr. I.inn regard
ing land values and land ownership, lie told us of his magnifi
cent ranch near Rend, of the good livestock he had on it, of the
beautiful setting of the place, and dosed his remarks by saying,
"but I can't make a dollar off of that ranch."
' Our reply was that he was not entitled to make tiny money off
of land unless he lived on the land. In this remark we did not
jump at conclusions. We have noticed in many instances pro
fissiiiniil men and city men buying farms, expecting to make
money from operating them, but not content to live on the land.
Providence .has taken care of that feature, and you can't bent
Providence al her own game.
Farms will not make money for anyone who dotvs not make
the farm a home. Farms render ;wife investment for money
abundantly safe, but there will be no dividends to amount to any
thing mvless the land is nursed and wired for by the owner. Von
run figure it any way you choose. You may have the be.st of
renters, you may have it drawn out.im pniT so that returns will
be large, but, when yon 4'iunlly add up and strike a balance you
will find yon canno live in a city and xpct to farm by proxy
and m.ikfc' money. . " .
Mr. l.inn is finding, tliis out" w ith his' Rem! ranch, 'and he is
lint one oT thousands who are leaning the lossi of the- land.
NoJ.ing is o good as latnKor the farmer.
Kor a great big healthy man.
