JUSTICE FOTv THE TvAILUOADS The railroads want to raise rates again. It steias that they are justified. In its latest report the Sante Fa ind'ea't s that wag-? during the past six months have been 32 per cent higher than during the period of th? preceding two years. As for material it has been 100 per cent higher. The railroads are unlike other businesses. Material men have been charging them fancy prices and every now and then some of their employes demand a raise yet they have beon conservative. Dut when the railroads want to raiee rates they have to go down to Washington to got permission. One of tho biSKst ailments of the railroads has been the unwarranted price of eteeJ. A railroad uses steel ties, steel plates, steel rails, steel w heels, steel cars, and what not of iron and steel. And certain war profiteering steel concerns have been gouging the railroads right and left by fixing material prices. When you begin to figure out the evils of basic war profiteering you find that it imposes a heavy tax on nil corporations, on every man, woman and child, not to count our own government or our Allies. Railroad workers ought 10 have more wages as compared with present living costs, they can hardly set them; railroads shonld b? showing bettor earnings, they are not. Accordingly shippers ought to he paying more rates. They are hard put as it is. The" report that wages have gone up only 32 per cent while materials mos'ly steeli have gone up triple that amount speaks volumes as to the real cause or" railway ills. Presidential price-flxing, however, assures them of a stiuare deal in the future.

COME OX VrTH THE CANALS Wp can't get coal they say because the cars are too few. We can't get building material bcause the railroads are too congested. Such is the i:?.?. If so. why aren't we talking more about all those ship canals we were going to build. Where's that Illinois-Mississippi canal, that Lake Michlgan-Lakc Erie waterway route? If we had somo of those canals now there would be less coal, food and materipl shorage and prices wouldn't be so high. Cna!s are a wr necessity as well as a fabric ol peace prosperity.
Democracy is not merely a form of machinery 0 suffrage, or representation, of elections, of relations of executive and legislature, and the like, though they may all have something to do with it. It is not a thing to he enacted, not a goal to be attained and enjoyed. If it were that and if we had attained it, why, then, the sooner we found eoit.ething more important to talk about the better. No! Democracy is a method of progress.
It is faith unproved like other faiths, but -with heartening ekams

a waste or ureatu to speculate as to when the wa - will end. lar, t-v.-ry prediction has tailed. Why continue? Let us face the situ tt ion as it stand? now. Russia is crumbling on the east; Italy is maintaining hers. -if; Knul.tr.cl Is pounding hard on her end of the line; and France, glorious France, is performing deeds of valor that are beyond praise. Iho' bleeding whit?, she is yet undaunted. The- dogged determination of the French line, whose slogan is "They shall not pass, they shall not. pass " is a record th-tt has never been excelled, if. indeed, it has been equalled in the history of the world. The success of the Allies in (his war will save democracy and h mian liberty to the world, :ut no matter what is done from now on, France :r.ust eer be reai.-mb.i-rc-! for the magnificent sacrifice she has made and the spl-ndor of her achievements. God grant that h'r line may hold until our boys reach the fro.-ii in such numbers that they may assume part of this burden, inspire courage for renewed effort along the hundreds of miles of battle line, and urivy back in confusion, dfec.t and disaster the most cruel, relentless and maddest war-lord
t upon whom the sun ever shone. j The splendid army cf France today is not duo alone to courn co a"d rnJ ti ns-asm, but mainly to the fact that France adopted universal military trainine After her sad experience of '70-'71, so that her men now understand the
game of war. Further, she has eliminated politics from her war department, so that now expert authority and not bureaucratic stupidity governs, as it once did. The people of America must he brought to realise that this is OUR war and we must shoulder the responsibility of winning it. Our greatest need H trained men. If Rvssia fails, it may require not orly hundreds of thousand , but millions of the ptst bone and sinew of our land to win the victory. Hence v.e must prepare and train, not only ths army now called, but the younger tr.in to come r.long and make them ready to take the places cf those who may fall. Our young men not only need the training and the phj ?;cal development. but they need discipline perhaps more than any other young men in the world. Universal military training will do more to develoj American manhood to its best estate and give us stronger and better citizens for the future than any other instrumentality. One of our prominent business men told the writer thnt his boy, an awkward, loose-jointed lad, spent, seven months on the Mexican border, under rigorous discipline. He said, "He came back n man; he stood erect; he could look me squarely in the eye. I wai amazed to soo the transformation brought about In seven months, all of which was to the good." At its next session, in December, Congress should promptly pass the C hamb: rlain Hill or some such measuro and make universal military training a flxe'l pol'cy of the Kovemment. It Is the boat way to safeguard the future and make democracy a fact Instead of a dream.

Democracy invites the ranging human spirit to experiment with life. Autocracy proposes to order and to regiment it. Democracy respects intrinsic humanity, with a respect touched with humility; autocracy distrusts and suppresses it.

AIM YOU FOR UNCLE SAM "Money makes the -.'heels go round." Wi'hout cash neither commerce nor war can be carried on. That is why the United States government is floating a second Liberty bond issue. There are two ways by which a government can raise money to conduct i's business by taxation and by bonds. When faxes are levied every man must pay whether he can afford to or not; when bonds ar sold each man may invest only the amount he can afford. The bond issue is fur more just to the salaried man and small v.-age earner hut it also Rtves the opportunity to evade assistance to the government if a man is so inclined. "t'nele Sam'' has implicit confidence in the people of this country, in their lui-alty and patriotism. He believes that when he send. out the word that money is needed, especially for so worthy a cause as equipping and provisioning the gallant troops sent abroad, there will bo a liberal response. Such was (he case with the first Liberty Loan, whica was well oversubscribed. It remains to Be seen how- the second loan will far". There have been murmurings that th3 public has not seized upon this bond issue with the avidity expected. In some placer, fhie. may he true, but throughout the seventh federal reserve district the response has beer, gratifying and those in charge, of the campaign believe the loan will hi fully subscribed when the time limit Oct. 27 expires. Failure of the people to rally to the government with their surplus wrahh in this time of need may necessitate imposing of war taxes spread over the entire population of the nation. Rally to your government and give the enemy a knockout with an over tubscripUoa to th $3,000,000,000 a.-'ced.
