Some one, at some time, some where, one day sat himself | for it sure makes some nolse, and that | drove, probably and wrote, “Fools rush:in where angels fear to tread,” and whether this is applicable.or not, one thing is certain, Secretary McAdoo rushes in; where President Wilson admits he doesn’t feel competent- to.solve.the whole. railroad problem of the . nation. McAdoo takes about five minutes in settling the enfire matter—satisfactorily to himself. On December 2, beore the president sailed for the peace conference, in his address to.congress, he said relative to the - geustion of government ownership of the rajlroads: The question which-causes me the greatest concern is the question-of the policy to be adopted toward the railroads, I frankly tutn to you for counsel upon it. I have no confident judgment of my own.. I do not see how any thoughtful . man.can have who knows any- thing of the complexity of the problem. : In discussing the question he further stated: Every ‘approach to this difficult subject matter of decision: brings -us face to face, therefore, with this unanswered question: What is it right that we'should do with the railroads in the interest of the public and in fairness to their owners? ,Let me say at once that 1 have no answer ready. The only thing that is per- fectly clear to me is that it is not fair either to the public or to the owners of the railroads to leave the question unanswered and that it will presently become my duty to relinquish contiol of the roads even before the expiration of the statutory period (twenty-one months after peace ig declared) unless there should ‘appear some clear prospect.in the meantime of a leg- islative ‘solution. 4 With the president aboard thd George Washington, thread- ing the Atlantic, McAdoo bursts forth with advocating govern- ment control for another five years after the war is over, and|American ships, so there must have|landed in a base port it rums up L . ? ] learnedly discoursing thereon.

FREE LEGAL ADVICE FOR SOLDIERS. - - The legal aid committees which were orgahized at the instance of the gublic safety cominission in many localities at -the beginning of the mobilization of the American;forces for the purpose of furnishing free legal aid for the’ protection:of .the interests of soldiers in thé service are requested by Adjutant General Harris, U, S. A,, to continue in their work by giving free legal service to returning soldiers under the Civil Relief act. The need for competent legal aid is really greater during the demobilization than in the period of mobilization. - While in the service the soldier was, or is, protected from litigaton. This protection ceases when he leaves the army, or even before, for in the eyes of the law the soldiér becomes a civilian two mtgxths before he is required to doff his uniform. Hencé prompt action is necessary in order to secure him full protection under the Civil Relief act. The Legal Aid committees were formed in response to a general sense of duty to those ‘who left their homés to fight for their country. The warrior, who after risking even greater claim upon the solicitous care of fellow citizens for his welfare. Of course,-theré is no doubt.that the com- mittees will continue to serve as long as their aid is needed. All that is ncessary is a reminder that their prompt assistance is more urgently required néw than during the mobilization of the armye: i PSS A, v B An Iowa exchange approvingly quotes an article from a farm paper, under the caption, “Don’t Buy Cheap Land In a Far Country.” = Certainly not, but that should not keep you from coming up to Northern Minnesota and buying good land ‘at 'a low price.—~Williams Northern Light. ) : You said it, brother. According to a dispatch from Washington, the government has spent more money on railroads by double the amount. that the owners ]spent in recent years. And the service in this part of the statfis a big farce. . The Liberty loan buyers were the people whodurnished the money for the railroad administration to spend .“,",g, Tio one else.
