The f ederal Railroad Administration wants more people to
travel for pleasure, now that the war is over. But the first duty of
the Government is to improve the general service to render travel a

plain of a lack of patronage."" .Exchange. The first duty of the
Government is to turn the roads back , to their owners, and all the
things needed will quickly follow. They can come in no other way.

compromising foe of the League of
Nations, worked himself into hyster
ics on the floor of the Senate, de
nouncing the league because It has
not seen fit. to draw the color line
la admitting members. Mr. Reed had
a horrible nightmare in which he
saw the Caucasian nations crushed
undor the iron heel of Africans and
Orientals who were to impose their
yoke upon us by using the League
of Nations and its machinery to that
end. Mr, Reed even taw a vision of
Liberia ruling the United States.
Now, white Mr. Reed is thus mak
lng 'a spectacle' of himself by declar
ing, that the league is "a "colored
league." some of his fellow-oppon
