PRIEST IN PLEA FOR BOY CONVICT 0 Lord, revive thy work in the midst of the years. Habakkuk 3:3. : . RAILROADS i Ezra Brainerd Jr., chaiiinan of the Interstate Commerce Commission, recently said that our desire for faster and mbre flexible transportation service must not lead us "to destroy our existing transportation systems in which an immense amount of permanent capital is invested, and which ' must, so far as can be discerned, continue to carry the bulk of our basic commodities." '' He insists that the readjustment of our transportation facilities should be made with the least possible economic waste. And Mr. Brainerd is worth heeding, for hp heads the body whose duty it is to regulate the railroads in the interest of the public. In many localities enthusiasm over waterways, bus and truck lines has been allowed to exceed the bounds of common sense and economic soundness. A number of superficial thinkers (if they may be called thinkers at all) have pro claimed that the railroads constitute an outmoded form of transportation which is doomed by the newer, faster methods, r; As a matter of fact, however, the railroads still carry the bulk of freight traffic and undoubtedly will continue to do so for a long time. Moreover, they are one of the nation's greatest sources of tax money, employers of capital, and purchasers of raw material. ' )We have not treated the railroads fairly in allowing the various competing forms of transportation to go their happy way unregulated, or only half-rcgula,ted, and in some cases even subsidized by the government. ... Americans, have paid "huge sums for the purpose of dredging river channels, canals, bays, and harbors for the free use of steamer and barge , lines. - They have, also invested millions in hard-surfaced ; highways, which truck and bus lines use by payjng only comparatively small license and gasoline taxes. Why .shouldn't the government do the same for the railroads, and maintain their tracks and rights-of-way for them? Continuation of this one-sided policy will eventually ruin 'the railroads, in which millions of citizens have invested their money, and the public will bo left with sadly inadequate transportation facilities. ;. Will we never learn that every form of transportation 'must be made to stand on its own feet or go out of business j and that every system should be operated on exactly the isame basis so far as taxation and regulation are concerned,? That is the goal we must achieve if wo are to solve ouV perplexing transportation problem. ' J WALKS FOB KECRKATION Ho Is often seen walking the streets of Washington on one of his Jong strolls for exercise. Formerly he got his recreation by paddling canoe on the Potomac or In tho Tidal Basin, but he has given that up. Perhaps his best friend on tho court Is Justice Holmes.

Wedell, attempting MONEY FOR SANTA Chiustmna savings chilis throughout the United Slates will shortly send to twelve million persons checks totalling $000, 000,000 and averaging $50 per person! Hero is more than a half billion dollars that men, women, and children have laid away during the past fifty week. What does that vast fund represent? For tho vast ma jority it means the pleasure of Christmas buying and giving:, though to some it w(ill be the means of paving off interest, taxes, and insurance premiums. It will mea'n a great volume of business to merchants and manufacturers, and the putting into circulation of that amount of money will act as a power ful stimulus to tho holiday trade and business in general. Moreover, these thrifty folks who have been setting aside a portion of their incomes during the past year will find that each dollar will now go much farther than it ever could before. 1 rices on most articles are lower than anyone ex- ji-ieu . uiyy wouin go, ana now is the time to buy.
