His address in Omaha is so full of genuine merit, of arguments that appeal to reason rather than passion or prejudice it should be carefully studied by all who :tre giving any consideration to the problems of transportation. For the moment only two of his statements will be considered. First, the matter of capital em ployed in the operation of the railroads. When the government turned the properties hark to their own ers after 27 months of federal control and operation, the physical plant had greatly deteriorated. De mands upon the'railroads exceeded those of any peace time period. It was necessary to aecure large sums of cash to provide for repairs, new equipment and other physical betterments. This money could not, except in a small way, he secured by the sale of new stock. It was borrowed, and at a high rate of interest. The railroads were compelled to greatly extend their indebtedness, and to do it at a greater cost than ever. To meet this has been one of the greatest of managerial problems. Revenue must he had, and that ran only come through collections for service rendered. His second outstanding point is that railroad rates averaged but 87 per cent higher than in 1913. Farm prices are 56.4 per cent and wholesale prices f>7 per cent higher than in 1913. This fart often ■ scapes the mind of the critle of the rate schedules. Railroads have been compelled to resort to other methods for meeting the advancing costs than by re lying solely on increase of rate*. | Public service is more essential than cost of serv ice. But the railroad managers have effected economies in operation. They have increased the efficiency of their organization and improved the uses of their plsnta. Railroad service is now fur nished at a relatively lower charge than ever. On these points mainly Mr. Holden rests his case. They fairly represent the situation from the railroad man’s point of view. His plea that the people do not permit selfish politicians to break down the transportation system is good. The com panies should have a fair show. They should be permitted to earn a reasonable income. Otherwise, the great business of hauling persons and things from here to there and hark again in the United States will break down. In which event the public will lose more than the railroads. PEACE DOES HAVE ITS VICTORIES. One of the most effective bits of drama ever enacted came in the third act of Augustus Thomas’ “Alabama.” The old southerner pointed to the can non lodged in the broken gateway, as an evidence of the havoc of war. The man from the north lifted the vines that hid the muzzle of the dead weapon, and showed a robin's nest. Nature was showing the way to harmony without hitter memories. Now we get another bit of evidence that shows how far away the days of '61 have drifted. The United States mint at Philadelphia Is busy striking off coins that bear the heads of Robert E. Lee and Thomas Jamds (“Stonewall”) Jackson. Only forty years ago when Grover Cleveland signed an order to restore certain Confederate battle flags to the eouthern states, he received a baptism of vitriolic de nunciation from Joseph Benson Foraker, then sena tor from Ohio. Today the federal government, rep resenting a united country, permits tha testimonial to the value and integrity of the men who followed those flags into the hell of the fiercest war aver fought. And the saddest! In very truth we are coming to realize, “One Country, One Flag!” Only for convenience is there left a North or a South, an East or a West. Old Glory floats over a land *wher« the inspiration of common Institutions hegels a rommon devotion. Where Interest# are one, despite the inevitable com petition that arises from commerce and industry. No firmer bond could ha knitted than that exempli fied in the memorial coin, few nf whirh will ever reach the north. They will he treasured as sacred by southern men and women, hut their existence will be known and approved by those who will never see them. BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. The Marquise De LaFalaise may mean It, as she may be talking for publicity purpose*. Hone*t-to goodness folk, the bone-and-sinew-of-our-nation kind of folk, will prefer* to believe that she means it. The cynical and the blase will insist that she is talk ing for the purpose, of attracting more patrons to the box office. The Marquise lie LaFalaise, he It remembered, was Gloria Swanson until a few day* ago. ‘‘I want b»bies," the new Marquise is quoted as •aying. ‘‘I have one of my own, aged h, and one adopted, aged 2. 1 will not be content until 1 hsve eight, four more of my own and two more adopted.'' Just a bit intimate, according to modern polite ftandards, but intensely human. And, at the same time, what ambition more laudable than to he the mother of stalwart sons and beautiful daughters? Gloria—hag pardon, tha Marquis* De LaFalaise is * beautiful woman. Rhe admits that she can not ; hop* long to remain a screen favorite, for younger women are coming on, while she is doomed by the inexorable hand of fate to fade. “Children can com pensate for the lost plaudits of the crowd, ' says the Marquise. “I may be a vamp on the screen, but I am a mother at heart.” So is every real woman a mother at heart. A pity it ia that all auch are not privileged to become mother* in fact. If in the fullness of time the Mar ’ quise De T-aKalaise achieves her announced ambi tion, her triumphs on the silver screen will not be comparable to her triumph* as a wife and mother. READ ’EM AND SMILE. Wheat went above the $2 mark at Chirkgo. As the news came over the wire we thought we heard the faint echo of the wail sent up last summer. Then the I.a Folletteites advised the farmer to sell his wheat as soon as he could. The price would go down as soon as Coolidge was elected. It. was only being boosted by republican plotters. All the big inter ests had pooled to give a fictitious value to wheat in order to delude the farmer once-more. Rome farmers may have heen deluded, hut not the one who held his wheat for a higher priee. . What has been the effect on the farmer’s condi tion? No one can say exactly, but straws show which way the wind blows. Passengers on the over land trains go through Dawson county without pay ing much attention to the landscape. It has no rug ged grandeur of mountains, no ever-changing ■ panorama of forest and stream. It just lays out of doors, a great stretch of rich farming land. It has some historical interest for Nebraskans, at least those who can recall the days when Spotted Tail and his Brule Sioux roamed up and down Plum creek. The Plum Creek massacre is a sad item in the tale of the pioneer days. But Plum Creek has been swd lowed up in Lexington, and forgotten by all but the old folks. Dawson county was credited by the cen sus of 1920 with 16,004 inhabitants. At the last election its people cast 6,008 votes. Not so populous a bailiwick. But Dawson county is valued for tax purposes at $42,467,766. That njakes it look a little better. Here is another item. On December .31, 1924, the sixteen banks in Dawson eounty held on deposit *6,445,375, an increase in deposits for the year of *1,071,844. Does not that spell something like prosperity? Rixteen thousand Dawson county people with six and a half millions dollars on deposit? 'I here may be somebody out there singing the blues, but the figures justify the claim made by the Lexington Pioneer that Dawson rounty is the best in Nebraska, just as Nebraska’is the best in the union. Yet, whichever way you look in Nebraska these days you see the same thing. Signs of the times. Bead them and smile. J NO LICENSE, NO DRIVING. Measures looking to the licensing of auto drivers are bobbing up in many of the state legislatures. The latest one reported i* Minnesota, where the proposed measure provides: “Every driver must be 16 or more years old. “Every person operating a niortor vehicle must have a state license or be accompanied by a licensed driver. "All license* shall be Issued by or In the name of the Minnesota secretary of state. “A driver must carry his license at all times. “Sworn application for licenses must he filed prior |o .Inly 1. 192S, anil after that dale nil applica tions for license* other than renewals will tie ap proved only after practical demonstration* of driv ing ehlllty. “License fees of 50 cents each shall t>e charged ■ nd the fund* thus collected would he employed In administering the act. “Nonresident automobile* may he driven In Minnesota a* under the present taw." Some sort of regulation is needed. Rsfety of the drivers sg well as of the public is involved. When the matter wa* proposed in Omaha a couple of years pgo opposition came from unexpected sources, and prevailed. Yet even the dropping of tjie plan at the time did not do away with the evil it i* intended to correct. Measures to a similar end are now pending at Lincoln, and it is likely some extensive discussion of the subject will be heard before the session is at j,n end. The object is to secure greater safety for ail who use tha highways. Elimination of careless or Incompetent drivers may not be arhieved nil at once, but a thorough test of competency before per mission is given to drive ought to help some. A noted theatrical producer says radio may give employment to a hundred aetors, but when it does “10,000 ar.tors will have to chop wood for a living.” Probably true, and equally true that, if they were no belter as woodehoppers than they are as artor*, the fuel supply would not he greatly increased. The Rt. Paul Dispatch hosst* that the eclipse Was | ♦tot only the best of its kind hut made in Minnesota. Yes, and so poorly made it will have to be done all over again in a few years. _ - - - --a . Nurmi, the Finnish runner, Is *aid to have a heart only half the usual size. What a wonderful success he might make as a pawnhroken when he gets too old to run. Americans loaned more than a billion dollars to Europe during 1924. Yet there are those who say we have no interest in affairs over on the other side. Men are using dogs and sledges to rush *erum to I diphtheria-stricken Nome. Yet there are some men so mean they scatter poison to kill dogs. The thief who got away with 2,000 marks of an Omaha collector at least bad some printed paper • and that is about all. --- We apprehend that some designer of cross-word pur.r.les is behind the proposition to prohibit them by law.

Barnes jf Chicago is quoted In the papers a* buying: “My Arm does not own a bushel of wheat In Chicago. There exists no corner In Chicago, and Amer ican standard wheat, even with re rent advances, is on export basia to the great markets of the world.” This summer two of the directors and their wheat buyer from the Co Operative Wholesale society, w ho supervise the buying of wheat for their flour mills at Manchester, Kng land, the largest flour mills In Kng land, at a meeting a few weeks ago in reply to a delegate. Mr. Charter, rim of the directors, said, as one of th* deputation that had recently re turned from Canada and America, he might saw that he had stood In the Chicago wheat market and had heard a thousand brokers calling out at each other In buying and selling wheat which they had never seen.; He sJso stood In tha Winnipeg mar ket and had seen the entire Held crop «»f Canada bought and sold twice over in a week. Referring to the question of tea. prices, the chairmen said the l*o Opei at Ive Wholesale society was the last to put lip the price of tea. Kur four or five months It had re fused to raise the* price, during which j time the cooperative movement andi the British public bad l**en saved nearly £ROO,i)nii on tea alone.

There s something wrong . somewhere." •1 should say there Is," said 1-ane. "Munro* never spent that much money." President Hale Holden of the Burlington was not always a railroad man. nor was his first visit to Omaha In Ihe capacity of a railroad employe or official. President Holden started nut in business life as a lawyer. In the earlv iMs he was con nected with a law firm at Kansas City, lie was given a nig hunch of mortgages to look up for the receiver of a Kansas City bank, among them being several given by Nebraskan*. He went to Hastings and brought suit, and in some manner tiie cases were transferred to the federal court at Omaha, President Holden employed a Hasting* lawyer to assist him before Judge JJundy. The cases were called for trial a day ahead of schedule time, snd the Hastings attoVnev was In capacitated, there being saloons in Omaha In those days. 1 he young lawyer from Kansas City arose and staled that h:s as sociate was not feeling well and asiced permission lo go sfier him, which was granted. As he was leaving ihe court room h# heard Judge Dundy a«k of tils clerk: "Who is that young fellow? Ile a never been admitted to practice in this court." "I hadn't, either." said President Holden, "and Dumly frightened me nearly to death. But 1 got III.' associate into court. We lust tiie case." P. S. Kustls, passenger traffic inanoger of Ihe Burlington, was located ill Omaha in Hie early days. Thursday a 'isit to Omaha in company with other Burlington officials reminded him of Ids first purchase here. "I had to buy a stove to heat my room, and I had no money. So I went over to Milton Rogers' store snd asked for the boss. Mr. Rogers asked me whut I wanted, and I told him 1 wanted to buy a stove, paying $2 down and 12 a month. After some questions Mr. Rogers 8greed. He showed me a store costing $17.50. but that was too expensive. I finally bought one that cost $*. 1 used it fur tluee years, snd then sold It for $10 Yeais later I told Rogers about It snd sll he said was: 'I'rn glHd vou didn't buy the expensive store', you would have been paying for It yet Members of the We Knew Him When Club will kindly shove along and make ;pom ori the Much for Rev.
