WHO IS GOING TO DO IT ?
From Wednesday's Dnily.
Lincoln, Neb., jan. 22, 191S.
To the Public:
Again an appeal is made to the
people of Nebraska for help in a
worthy cause. ib.n tim-, it is a
little different. Lat week, I asked
for a home for twin baby boys. The
newspapers sent out the message
and the little ones now have a good
home. Not long ago, the newspapers
helped find a real mother for a home
less crippled boy our Board had had
in charge for several years. Another
appeal caused over fiftv homeless
children to secure homes in Nebras
ka. There are other instances, all
of which goes to show that the
newspapers are real factors in dciiifr
good, and that the people with red
blood in their veins are willing to
do their full share.
iow, nere s another: I Know 01
a fine little Lincoln mother, perhaps
thirty years of age, with a boy about
eight, whose husband has gone to
war, and she needs help. All cho
asks is work. She is a good seam
stress and can do other work. She
could handle a private telephone
booth or do library work. But the
little mother she was raised in Lin
coln is afflicted with infantile
paralysis and uses crutches a part of
the time. She has been afflicted
long before her baby was born. She
is a sweet, lovable little woman and
feel" he cannot give up her boy.
Cood people of our splendid state
let me appeal to you to see that
this wife of one of our soldier boys,
"who is now somewhere in France.
gets employment. I will supply
name and address to anyone really
interested, but not to the
merely
curious ones. Who will be the first
to do his or her "bit" by coming to
the front with employment this little
woman can do? For information.

MAY NOT RETURN
THE RAILROADS TO
FORMER OWNER!
DIRECTOR XIcADOO INFORMS THE
SENATE COMMITTEE THEY
SHOULD BE HELD.
Says Government Should Not Give
Up Lines at Least Until Laws
Have Been Enacted.
Washington, Jan. 21. Director
General McAdoo told the senate in
terstate commerce committee today
he thought the government shouli
retain operation of the railroads for
some time after peace conies and not
return them to private ownership
until new and comprehensive laws
had been enacted to govern them.
"It should be borne in mind," said
McAdoo, "that by the end of the war
the public and shippers will be ac
customed to dealing with the gov
eminent, and I am convinced that a
thorough trial should be given at
the end of the war before the rail
roads are turned back to their own
ers." New Situation to Face.
An entire new situation, lie
thought, would be faced when peace
came that would have to be met by
new and comprehensive laws, and
that it would be injurious to tlie
stockholders to throw the railroads
back into private operation without
first adopting "comprehensive and
rational legislation. this, he was
of the opinion, would take time.
"Do you personally believe in gov
ernment ownership," asked Senator
Watson.
"No." replied Mr. McAdoo, "hut I
do believe it would be impossible to
turn the roads back to their owners
under' exactly the same system by
which they were operated when the
government took them over. There
must be some form of government
cont rol."
Principles cf Operation Changed.
L:tnator Watson asked if the rail-
roa.ls, under government control
would not continue to operate umier
their old management. except for
orders given from time to time by
the director general.
