That,- however, is the place where many a bright child who starts out with brilliant prospects finally lands. Cut out the coupon in The Journal, take it to the Lumbermans The railroads are privately owned. They- get their revenue from the people xt tha United States. Their revenues have been increased at the expense of employes by wage reduc tions. They have been boosted by ad ditional - rates. The . railroads are apparently to be given f 500,000.000 of the money of the people of the country. , And they are employing their funds funds derived from the people, Senator Jones says, to put vessels built and paid for by, the same people oufe of business. The people, then, are supplying money to the railroads to destroy the use fulness of their own money as rep resented by the shipping board ve sels, in order that more money may be exacted. from them in the form of railroad rates.

SAVE THE PUBLIC MONET MANY thousands of dollars of pub lic money have been wasted in watches and alarm clocks may be con veniently consulted ia the dark. 1 It is true that, precious as radium Is, there is only 10 or 15 cents worth of it on the luminous dial of a watch. But when thousand of timepieces are made lumi nous tbe value of the radium consumed is estimated to reach not less than $300. 000 a rear. This means about three grams of radium, which seems a small amount, .until you remember that there is less than half a pound of the metal in the world at present, and very little is added each year. The lamentable fea ture of the luminous dial business, where radium is Used. Is that the precious metal is permaJiently lost. The radium on the dial Is still potent long after a clock has succumbed to old age, but the amount of the metal there Is so infinites imal that it would be Impossible to re cover it.

Yet out of the blue, here come Harding and Hughes with another new proposal to commit the American people to servile slavery. How can Our Hiram and our Borah keep their livers in order if this thing continues? Other gentlemen do not know what it is to have beat ing hearts and souls that sense every peril from the North Pole to the Southern Cross, and from the morn ing star to the Judgment day.

Automobile salesman brutally done to death that the murderer may obtain his coveted automobile. Death shooting riot. The front pages of the newspapers teem with accounts of the frightful acts of man against his brother. The nation never in its history saw such a period 0 violence and private bloodshed as it Is experiencing today Human life, it seems, was never held so cheap. Lawlessness Is almost un checked. The illicit traffic in liquor pre sents to the nation the most powerful law violation problem with which it was ever faced. - Not all of the violence can be laid to the war aftermath. In the days of conflict, when blood was cheap, men facing the uncertainties of existence in confronting; a gigantic enemy became bold and reckless, and much of this spirit was retained when the war was over and they returned to civilian pur suits again. The war has been ever now for nearly three years, and the nation has had time to recover from the lust to kill. All of the slayers have not been ex-soldiers by any means, although there has naturally been a certain proportion of these, for the number of soldiers was very large Far more of the unnatural wave of crime may be laid to the Volstead act. Let the prohibitionists say what they will, no person on earth can refute the fact that there is more hard drinking of raw liquor in this country today than there was when the country was wet. Men. yes, and. women, are drinking to day who did not drink, who did not touch a drop in .the old days when there was a saloon on everjorner. They are drinking hard stuff, Mit merely light wines and beers, but high proof moon shine whiskey and worse. The reason for this is simple. Liquor is contraband. Consequently it is precious to manufac turers and to consumers. A little of it must go a long way. The bootlegger isn't going to peddle homebrew beer and home-made wine when whiskey gives the desired effect with one quarter the effort is downward. The great hoards of gold in America must presently find eltaer to withdraw the German treaty investment. As conditions settle and liquidation goes on, much of it will be released to either go into idle ness or find something new in which to earn interest or dividends,' The federal government' realizes or see that the senate chamber is fully supplied with smelling salts and catnip tea.

"And if there be any comparison a fair which allows the semi-vulgar perform ances' or '.games of chance within Its gates Is in a position to. do more harm than any other institution allowed to exist under the law.
