After being In bed for 80
years a friend advised me about
Dr. Looney's Medicated Mildew

box I got a position running a
steam shovel during the day and
.firing on the road at night.
I am entirely Cured and highly
recommend Dr. Looney's pills.

THE PAUPER RAILROADS
Confidence in the interstate commerce commis- ,
sion is strengthened by its ruling on the 15 per cent j
rate case. Its decision is conspicuously right.
The railroads do not need the 15 per cent freight ,
increase. No American business institution has as
good credit as the standard railroad. It can borrow !
money, because it is making money. The roads of I
)he so-called eastern districts last year earned more j
than 10 1 2 per cent on all their capital stock out-j
standing, including water. This is according to the j
sworn returns made by the railroads to the inter |
state commerce commission. Two-thirds of the |
traffic in the eastern railroad district is handled b\
roads which earned on an average more than 15 per
cent on all their capital stock last year.
The truth is our railroads are tremendously
wealthy. Two-thirds of the traffic of the United
States is handled by railroads having more than one
thousand millions of surplus of which eight hundred
millions is cash on deposit or invested in the securi-
ties of other companies.
It is not a patriotic spectacle presented by the
roads which have come hat in hand to Washington
begging for more income. Everybody is called upon
to do a little bit of sacrifice for the big purpose of
war efficiency; a lot of poor people are going to
have to sacrifice, whether they want to or not. The
railroads will do well now to turn their attention to
the very pressing need for making themselves
efficient. If they do not do so soon, the government
will take them over. And perhaps that might be
the best thing after all.
It takes a great man to make a good listener —
Helps.
HOW WOULD YOU RATHER BE BUMPED?
Which would you rather do—fall several times
a day at $1343.75 per fall, or get bumped by a street
car at $100 a bump?
In other words, would you rather be Charlie
Chaplin or a bundle-laden father of a family whose
foot slipped while he was trying to get home for
the evening meal in time to spend an hour afterward
in his war garden?
The British movie artist who has become rich
by capitalizing the falling sickness has just signed
a new contract for eight pictures at $1,075,000.
That's $134,375 a picture. On the liberal estimate of
100 tumbles to each picture he receives a thousand
and some odd hundred dollars for every time lie sils
down on a chair that isn’t there and pretends to he
hurt when, as a niatter of fact, every small boy
knows he enjoys it.
Street railway damage payments, excluding
deaths and serious injuries, average less than $100.
Of course, there’s one thing about it. Federal
income tax experts have not yet reported whether
Charlie really receives the million in question. But
then—the hundred dollars the court awards the man
bumped by a street car may not be real money,
either, if the company appeals.
Can it be that it is more profitable to act in the
movies than to hurry home to hoe war gardens?
CHILD LEADERS.
thousands of children stormed the Cleveland. ().,
council chamber to obtain an appropriation for a
ward bathhouse the council had refused.
Opposing councilmen scored the “political ma-
chine” which brought the phalanx of children out in
a drenching rain to procure tlie means of getting
comfortably wet at periods when the skv failed to
furnish the moisture and the gutters were not avail-
able as substitutes for natatoriums.
There is authority in a book valid enough for
most men for the right of “little children to lead
them.”
The trouble with lobbies is that they are ex*
elusive. If one man is to be a lobbyist all men should
be lobbyists where their interests are concerned.
In such proportions a lobby ceases to be a lobby
and becomes a referendum.
A children's lobby makes the word lobby smell
sweet.
A "political machine” which can marshal thou-
sands of children at a city hall in a downpour is at
least self-starting. Tn truth, it is not a machine at
all. It is a democracy.
God grams liberty only to those who love it
and are always ready to guard and .defend it.—
