Elgin on the Milwaukee, usually it has been by motor car or

This is a small train, but new and clean and makes fast
time. It is hard to realize as one observes the double track
on a smooth well maintained right-of-way and the heavy freight
trains puffing in both directions that the Milwaukee, the only
railroad from Chicago to the Pacific Coast, without a change,
is practically bankrupt. Probably if that extension to Pugct
Sound hadn't been built it wouldn't be.

Entering Chicago now, much like the day we arrived on

In any circumstance when the

well to remember this conclusion

Vaccine paralysis or other serious

and In advising treatment one should
carefully weigh the possibilities of
death or permanent Injury from vac

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. The deluge
of mall brought down on congress
by the arms embargo controversy
Is an Interesting and perhaps a dan
gerous phenomenon. A few senators
and many representatives appear to
believe that the majorities In their
constituencies are composed of the
sort of person who coresponds freely
with lawmakers, newspapers and
other p u b 1 1 e Institutions. Some
prophets even say that repeal of the
arms embargo may be prevented by
the large antl - re peal 1st majority
among the letter-writers.
Short of an elaborate public In
vestigation, the real meaning of
antl-repesl mall cannot be exactly
determined. But a sample can be
taken. Oh to la a large state. In the
part of the country generatly thought
of aa particularly Isolationist, with
a mixed agricultural and Industrial
population, and sufficiently diverse
racial groups to make It reasonably
representative. Ohio's Republican sen
ator. Robert A. Taft. has come out
on the repealtst side, and his mall
has been enormous, reaching a total
of more than 40.000 letters, with nine
against repeal for each one In favor.
Careful examination of lrtrge, ran
dom samples or Tsffs mall leads to
rather striking conclusion. The first
thousand letters or so were honest
and spontaneous enough, being
chiefly written by average citizens
with a blind, passionate fear of in
volvement In the European conflict.
The bulk of the other 39.000. how-
,Ter

6. If the animal Is killed before
such veterinary observation has been
made, the head may still be exam

6. If the animal cannot be cap

treatment should be started Imme
dlately.
7. All authorities agree that if the
animal remain well two weeks after
the bite, there is no danger what

period of two, three or four weeks.

of Taft's mall perhaps as much as
half carried Oerm an -American sig
natures. There are many German
Americans In Ohio, and, among the
letter-writ ters favoring repeal of the
arms embargo, they appeared In their
normal proportion. On the other side,
the proportion waa completely ab
normal, and an extraordinary num
ber of the letters were of the form
type. Many of these lottera also came
from the Ohio cities where the bund
Is known to be active. It was dif
ficult not to conclude that the small
mlnorlt; of Americans of German
descent who have forgotten their
Americanism In favor of Hltlerlsm
were attempting to exert an undue
influence.
As for the Coughlanlt mall. Its
hallmarks were easy to spot. Certain
slogans have been popularised by the
radio priest. They were repeated
over and over again, with the char
acteristic Coughianlte rant. Many
of these also bore the signs of elabo
rate organisation. Most disturbing of
all were the Indications that In some
Instances this organization had been
carried on through the churches.
In New York, the same misuse of
the pulpit has already been de
nounced by Alfred B. Smith. It Is to
be hoped that, now that the Os
servatore Romano Itself has expressed
the pope's approval of the presi
dent's policy, there will be no fur
ther manifestation of this sort,
which greatly distress ninety-nine in
a hundred Catholics and all the
church's friends.
All this must not t taken to
m,an, of course, that many of the
letter-writers are not sincere. Some
tri are pathetic, aa when an
"American mother with 4 dear boys
who would ,slf to go with hundreds
of others" writes, "please keep
America thourly n.utral, this la my
plea." or when a youne man writes.
"I havent experienced life yet. but
If the president's proposal becomes
law I wont have much life left."
There la plenty of tragic puzzlement,
plenty of ..imest seeking amon? the
letter-writers, who are misled by the
loud and foolish shouting thnt arms
embargo repeal surely means war.
There Is abw plenty of the kind
of vulgar hatred which demagogies
know how to stir up. Some of It
is so violent as to be funny, as when
an Infuriated cltlren takes a long
breath and writes, "again the ad
ministration like a venomous sna-c
haa lifted Its ugly head and from
lta tongue hanga the venom that
calles special session of congress to
undue the sacred will of the people I
to keep out of forlgn entanglements j
that will embroil us in a bloody
forlgn war the out-come of which I
we know nothing about."
But the point Is that, whether or
not they are sincere, the leltcr
wrltera In Ohio cannot claim to be
representative, aa Indeed the po'.ls
I prove. In other states. It U said, 'he
i evidence la much less conclusive.
although the same sitns of propa
mda are everywhere t -servabie. At
any rate, aenstors and representa
tive will do well to think twice of
the real Issues before voung a,:slnst
r, ;:esl out of deferer" to mall or

OPENING of the long-awaited sen
ate debate on the neutrality

of American war Interest to Wash

cerned, this question overshadows
all others:
Are we going to get In or are we
going to stay outf '
READ or listen to the debate. Keep
an open mind. Weigh the points
brought out by both sides.
If you feel strongly on either side,
write to your senators and your con
gressman. Don't try to use big words
you don't understand. Don't cop
form letters. Don't write what SOMEJ
BODY ELSE want you to write.
Don't get somebody else to type your
letter.
Say what you think in your own
language. Above all else, write"
STRAIGHT FROM YOUR HEART.
Sincerity Is what will cotint.
(The way to address a senator is
"Senate Office Building, Washington,
D. C." The way to address a con
gressman Is "House Office Building,

Hp HE debate opening today (Mon-
Jl day) In congress Is one of the
most Important In the history ol
the nation. Out of It will come pol
icies that will affect America for
generations to come.
If you pray, pray for wise and pat-
