city. Worshipers are teen coming from their
church. News venders are heard calling their papers

their staffs arrive la automobiles. They proceed to

THE BUSINESS INTERESTS
FRIENDLY
In' the conferences which have re-
cently been held by the Chambers of
Commerce. Commercial Clubs and
Shippers’ Associations with refer-
ence to thep ropostition uppsVy
I ence to the proposed increase of 15^>
I in freight rates which is now pend-
| ing before the Inter-State Commerce
Commission, it is worthy of note that
j the business men of the Country are j
perhaps more than ever before in
a friendly frame of mind toward the
carriers—the preponderant sentiment
being that the enormous increase in
I wages represented by the Adamson
Law and other wage advances, to-
gether with the marked increase in
the cost of fuel supplies, taxes, etc.,
makes it absolutely imperative that
II the railroads must have an increase
■I in revenues if they are to be expect-
ed to continue to furnish adequate
I and efficient transportation service.
The conscensus of opinion among
| these business men may be summed

railroads must have more money—
and when we are advised of their
real needs we will have no protest
to offer.” And this is an entirely
sensible attitude for busness men tb
take, for never before has efficient
railroad service been so vitally nec-
essary as now when the Nation and
all its allisd industries are facing one
of the gravest periods in the history
of the Republic.
It is also worthy of note, however,
that the professio*ial“railroad baiter”
is still on the job—dealing in the
same old threadbare misrepresenta-
tion and hurliqp the same demagogic
broadsides as ol old. To them no
hour is grave enough to warrant
either a careful inquiry into actual
facts and conditions or to induce an
attitude of calm reasoning and dis-
passionate comment. And yet, after
all, this should cause no surprise—for
with the chronic demagogue “jump
ing onto^he railroads” is a matter of
business—as much a means of liveli-

It was interdenominational and it
was indeed difficult to tell who was
who. I attended most of the sessions $1*85.00
which were good, and especially help

the best sermon today, about Rejoice
in The Lord Alway." Next Sunday
