After our toporlonco of tho past IS months no one' has tho temerity to claim government operation will over glvo ns good service nt as cheap rates as private enterprise. To thwart tho administration's threat to turn back tho ratlronds to their ownes at once, Senator Cliin mlns, of Iowa, ranking Republican member of tho Scnato Intorstnto Com merco Comnmteo, has Introduced u bill amending tho Railroad Act by making tho retention of tho railroads mandatory until tho expiration of twonty-one months after tho procla' nintlon of peace.

Tho fruition of such bold idealism would-bo an epoch in the world's, history scarcely loss re markable than tho eternal triumph of Christ. OUR SUPPLY OF RAW WOOL. Mr. William J. Qatlson. Assistant Secretary of tho National Association 1 jiajf for overtime, of Wool Manufacturers, made a very Interesting and instructive talk be fore the-Second Patriotic Sheep Meet ing Exhibition and Sale at Albany, N. Y., recently, in" which he called public attention to the alarming dependence of the United States upon foreign countries for Its supply of raw wool for the manufacture of woolen and Tho legislature hnd better enact a jlnw to pay its peifeonnel time and n worsted goods. . He pointed out the fact that from 1899 to 1914 the re quirements for the woolen and -worsted mills of the United States werfe nearly 2,400,000,000 pounds of wool, and our domestic production for that period was only 1,200,000,000 pounds, or about one-half of our needs. Tho rest had to be imported from abroad. "In other words," said Mr. Batlson, "for every pound of woo ra!s,ei in this country another pound bad to be imported, and all the money required to pay for! this iramenso quantity of imported wool had to bo sent out of the country to pay for it, Instead of being retained at home for tho enrichment of our own people. The United States has the capacity to raise all tho wool its mills require; its climate is suitable, Its territory Is emple, and the ability of its, producers is. unquestioned. The reputation of lt3 breeders is world wide." He con ludes: All these considerations emphasize the wisdom, nay the necessity, of ear liest effort being made to increase our home supply to a point where it shall be equal to our home demands, so that we may never again experience the humiliating condition of being so thoroughly dependent on outside as sistance for necessary raw material for our forces and our people. The attention of our wool growers should bo, as it has been in the past, devoted to the production of the bet ter classes of, sh;ep, for which there must always be a large demand both for mutton, and for wool. For these purposes some sections of this, coun try are better adapted than others, and each growof must determine for lilmtelf which variety o; sheep is pest suited for bis locality, but he may be sure tint whatever variety he ir.jy selPct he will fjnd a ready warke for his wares. There is understood to be a large amount of wool on storage In Austra lia, but it is controlled by the BItish government, which .has bought In ad dition all the wool produced both at iome and In Australasia for. one year after the close of the war. How much Great Urltafn.wili permit to coim here no one can tell, but It is safe to assume that she will look out for the interests of bar own mills first. Some way must be devised to ac complish this end. Government en ( couragement has been given in the last two years to other "essential" industries why should it not be ex tended for a time at least to this, ono of the most important industries of the country? No effort has been spared to encourage the product'on or cotton why should not similar at tention be given to wool? Goodbye, Oleo! It the worst comes to the worst, wo can still buy axlo grease.
