Autos and Railroads Seem to Get on | Together Without Hurtful Competition (Omaha Bee.) When the automobile first proved its "practicality for comfortable lots of railroad men had out touring, {many sleepless nights, worrying as to the effect upon passenger travel. The automobile has nqw become an tablished institution, accepted as matter of fact, but the apprehension and fears of what it would do to railroad earnings have subsided. From the financial sifie it could be readily demonstrated that freight charges for the transportation of material to the | automobile factories, and of the fin- ished products and accessories from the factories to the distribution points es- a . more than offset any possible loss in passenger travel. It now appears that the effect of automobile on the passenger trains may be measured from another viewpoint. While overnight travel and longer journeys will go to the by preference more than ing, the short distances are covered almost wholly by automobile, and the strictly local passenger service, the business it does, is the most costly of all, has come to be merely insurance on bad weather or bad roads, and the question is now | presented as to how far the railroads must furnish this insurance as part of their duty to the public. Curtail- ment of local train service, which would mean money saved to the rail- road, is sure to revoke protest from towns and territories served. We see that some of the roads are preparing to try out this plan of economy, and if it succeeds we will have the anom- aly of the railroads offering no ob- jection to the automobile for reliev- ing them or traffic, to retain which they were formerly ready to fight to the finish. One Touch of (Milwaukee JOurnul? It all happened in a street car. He was evidently a laborer. His face and his razor had not met for some days his felt hat was battered, his collar shiny, his cuffs frayed. His shoulders were bent with toil.” He carried, a small sack, which he was carefully cherishing in his lap. Presently he drew something forth, and as he did | so the broad smile that lighted up his face cxpanded ncarly from to cur. Presently every (ne who could see what he had was smiiing also. He had two tiny white chickens to which he fed crumbs. Their little “cheep, cheep” was music to his ear. He Jooied about for approval and met it, for one touch of nature makes the whole world kin. A man in broad- cloth, a woman in silk and a fellow workman—all whe came and went gave a kindly smile, ear The Appearance of Radium. The Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, has received numer- ous inquiries about the appearance of radium, many of which seem to have been prompted by carelessly written stories, appearing in periodicals of the poorer class, that tell of remark- able finds of nearly pure radium. Radium is a metal, and has a white metallic luster; it has been isolated only once or twice, and few people have seen it. Radium is ordinarily obtained in the form of salts, and is usually so sold and used. These salts are all white or nearly white sub- stances whose appearance is no more remarkable than that of common salt or baking powder. Radium is found in nature in quantities so exceedingly small that it.is never visible even ‘when the material is examined with a powerful microscope. Ordinarily radium ore carries only a small frac- tion of a grain of radium per ton of material, and radium will never be found in large masses because it is formed by the decay of uranium, a process that is wonderfully slow, and radium itself decays and changes to other elements so rapidly that it is impossible for it to accumulate natu- rally in visible masses. Radium and radium minerals are not generally luminescent. Tubes containing ra- dium glow from impurities present which the radiations from the radium cause to give light. Minerals that carry radium are fairly easy to determine, for they af- fect photographic films in the same way as ordinary “1ight, and they can also be identified by their effect upon an electroscope. 1 Urchin and Dog Show One Touch of Nature. (Columbus. O., Dispatch.) Just a dirty little yellow cur! I called him homeless until I heard a dirtfer little urchin yelling: “Aw, gowan home’—and pelting him with stones. The youngster swore and I felt sorry for the dog. I wanted to wring the urchin’s neck Just as I was about to put my thought into action a big black limousine came swerving down the street. The child darted before it, grabbed the little vellow cur to his heart and the two came rolling from beneath the whirring wheels. As I helped them from the gutter the hoy was moan- | ing: “Where are you hurt, boy?” asked excitedly, turning him around on his sturdy bare legs. “Dey didn’t hurt dern near got my dog,” urchin between dry sobs. me—but-—dey wailed the Reassured Him. (Boston Transcript.) He—You' don’t really care for me— you are merely flirting with me to make Jack jealous. She—Nonsense!

(Detroit Journal) Press criticism of Congres:s as in- creased in recent years. There are at least two good reasons for For one thing, extreme partisanship is almost extinct among the newspapers; few of them will give unstinted praise to members of their own party or go up- on the principle that the opposition can do no right. For another thing, statesmanship is of lower grade than it has been at periods in the past. This is probably bound to be where private interests compete for brains with the public service. This press criticism has its natural reaction on Congress. The galled jade winces. Reprisals suggest themselves. One of these retaliatory measures is now in effect. It compels every news- paper to recite certain facts about its ownership, circulation and states of its credit. The act does neither harm nor good. Now comes Senator Stone with threats of muzzling, and Senator Owen with a proposition to have all | political advertising marked “adver- tising” on pain of heavy penalty. Our patriots at Washington plainly are feeling for soething that will injure the business of the press or hurt its feelings. They have not hit upon the trick yet. But they're reaching. They may get under our hides yet. The way out of this trouble is not clear. Criticism of Congressional wrongdoing and stupidity is very nec- essary to the public welfare.” Yet in a way Congress is not to blame. It is low grade because high grade, free milling material is absorbed else- where. In the dilemma, the newspa- pers have to choose between being patriotic and being charitable. It is charity which loses. ‘What Would Bismarck Say? (Syracuse Post-Standard.) will have 1,500,000 men under arms in country and 100,000 in France; 11 have sent several billions’ worth of war supplies abroad upon credits extended by the American govern- ment itself in the form of war loans; it will have a navy as large as Ger- v's in the service of the Entente; {it will have brought by simple force of friendship all of Latin America into malevolent or belligerent rela- tions with Germany; it will have created an animosity of Germany so widespread and enduring that Ger- man trade will suffer from it for gen- | erations. | These losses are the deliberate sac- | rifice of German statesmanship in return for a submarine campaign { which has not so much as compelled | | young men the adoption of new economies. ‘What would Bismarck say to man- | agement of a nation so grossly in- competent?

(Farm and Fireside) Immediately upon the declaration of war with Germany the gloommak- ers in this country got busy manufac- ! one wxfe'?' turing dismal uncertainties as to the | part America would be able to play in the war. Could democratic America ever organize efficiently enough to beat autocratic Germany? Could the vast half-assimilated foreign population ever be mobilized into one loyal army? Would the American people, educated for years in peace principles, ever do more than acquiesce half-heartedly on tory? We still hear that the great bulk of American citizens are apathetic, that they are not yet awake to a full real- iztion of what this war means. It is true that they are quiet; they ought to be. 'For three years they have been reading descriptions, pitilessly de- tailed, of the waste and pain the war has been creating in Europe. They are going into a war, not as a three months’ holiGay from the regu- lar business of life, but realizing to the full the grimness of the job before them. And so the response has been a quict one, but.so businesslike and de- termind as not to leave a shred of doubt as to what they mean to do. The response in men and money has been immensely convincing. Without any splurge or fuss, 182,000 volun- teers have enlisted in the regular army; 137,000 men have been added to the navy; the Marine Corps has been raised to its full authorized strength of 30,000 men; the National Guard with 300,000 men was quietly drafted into federal service in August. Altogether over 800,000 men were un- | der arms before the draft became operative; that has added 687,000 more, making a total of 1,500,000 men under orders September 5th. All this | in spite of our enormous alien popu- lation and our anti-militaristic educa- tion. We have oversuescribed a two- billion-dollaf war loan and have giv- en 4 hundred million to the Red Cross. If this is apathy, what wouid the American people do if they once 2ot interested ? Southern Hospitality. (Charlotte (N. C.) Observer.) Last Sunday the people of Spartan- burg took the members of Co. D., 22nd New York engineers, into their homes, and the Herald s experiment that ‘“‘the plea mutual.”” The Herald done ‘“‘not only for the sake of extend- ing an appropriate welcome to the | as our guests, but as an expression of the friendly feeling the whole community has for the entire | New York guard.” If it were pos- | ble to have the entire 40,000 to | dinner, says the Herald, “that would | This is typical of the sen- timent of southern towns toward the troops which are soon to come.

(Chicago Tribune) Although the comedian in twice-a- day can still be relied upon to ask “What is it called when a man ha and although his partner will say, ‘“Monotony”, a clique of couples on the west side have found- cd a club known as Lifers, their mot- : “Till death do us part.”™ ® What copy for George Bernard Shaw! ““Getting Married” was nothing to it. Positively the limit of sensa- tion—"'Staying Married!” Words fail us to tell how bewitchingly that re- solve on the Lifers part tickles our ethical insides. Having taken a sol- emn vow at the altar, they up and think they will observe it. O rare and unusual Lifers! Mark Twain spoke for others beside Mark when he wrote: “I would rather have one faculty superbly developed than two only moderately developed, so I cultivate my inborn genius for making promises and keeping them can go hang.” Not so the Lifers. They prom- ise to keep their promise. Bravo! We may suggest, however, that they risk one step more and imitate Lewis Carroll's Bellman, who declared, “What I tell you three times is true.” We feel sure that Lewis will not sue for infringement of copyright. Too many couples have stood up in front of Lewis to be married, and, besides, he is dead. e Short Lesson in Taxation. (New York Sun). A neat example of the ease which a taxable golden egg laying goose may be killed is revealed in the story of internal revenue tax on sweet wine. The 1914 emergency tax law laid on sweet wine a tax of 23 cents a gallon. In consequence the production of sweet wine fell off, the industry not being able to stand the tax, which | produced a revenue the first vear of its operation of $3,444,000 and only 805,000 the second year of its op-! eration. The estimated revenue from the tax was $7,000,000. The 1916 the tax rate was reduced to 13 cents a gallon and the tax re- | ceipts jumped up to $5,500,000 in the first year of the new rate. A radical increase in the tax rate radically reduced the tax rev radical decrease in the radically increased the tax with tax revenue. increase in the rate. FElaborate Sarcasm. { (Women’s World.) The people of the little frontier town had met to decide upon a suit- able name for the place. “Mr. Chairman,” said a man with a rasping voice, rising in the back part of the hall, “T move that Wwe call this village ‘Old Glory."” ! “What is your reason for making such a motion as that?” demanded | the chairman. HATS AND OATS. Horse Didn’t Know the Leaves Woman’s Hat Were Artificial, (Milwaukee Journal). That a horse, in spite of his “horse sense,” can be pitifully deceived by appearances was demonstrated in a telling manner. A young woman was waiting patiently for a car going east, when a horse and wagon owned by & huckster stopped almost before her. The horse, a friendly looking an- imal, gradually edged up to the curb near the voung woman, who smiled graciously and patted him on the nose. As the car approached she walked slowly toward the track and was waiting.for the car door to open when the friendly animal slipped up behind her, and with a sudden plunge grasped the bunch of green leaves from her new spring hat. After a brief tussle with hat pins and yellow curls, the horse man« aged to wrest the hat from the young woman and marched off chewing what he evidently thought a meal of fine green. The horse chewed the milliner’s painted leaces, and finding | them not to his taste, dropped the hat, which was returned to its owner, Refuse to Read Disloyal Papers. (Boston Transcript). 1t has been charged that a consid- erable part of the German-language press in the United States has been subsidized from Berlin, and, although conclusive proof of this is lacking, corroborative evidence certainly seems to hear it out. The outrageous prop- aganda of the hyphenated newspapers in the early stages of the war was 50 evidently inspired by Berlin that most sane Americans accepted it as a fact, and this had much to do with the failure of the propaganda, despite the fact that its stupidity was colossal and " amply sufficient to have defeated it. The American people have never had any use for the subsidized organ, and it is deriving their support from other than the legitimate sources of rev- enue, circulation and advertising, te thrive. Our entrance into the war has heen a severe blow to the rep- tile newspaper. However great the size of its subsidy, without readers, it must fail, and not a few such have’ gone under. Loyal German-Amer- icans evervwhere, but particularly in the west, are withdrawing their sup- port of the bitterly pro-German news- | papers and from time to time we hear of the suspension of such organs of kaiserism. Naturalized Americans have it in their power to put an end to all the mouthpie(‘e: of pacifism and treason. Let them but refuse to read. and the editors will have to shut up shop. Disloyalty cannot live by sub- sidy alone. Vision.
