Recognizing the need of arousing public sentiment in this direetion there are thoae in Tennessee who are at work for the purpose of stirring up the people to a realization of the need of putting an end to mob vio- lence. They are doing it by organ: izing law and order leagues, by hav- ing sermons preached on tha subject and in other ways getting the people interested in what is of the greatest | commgnwealth. Just a8 long as the pesple of any ate who may b- qpooged to mob rule accept such usurpation of au- thority, wink at lynchings and permit those who engage in them to go with- out punishment it' can be expected that they will not only continue but increase.

Long ago in recognition of the ol Feflroed cars and the vast amount of goods awaiting transpor- tation, the need of loading the cars to capacity was urged .upon the rall- roads and shippers.

The announcement has just been made by the Pennsylvania road that the campaign to make the freight cars do more work has produced de- sired results, the full car order re- sulting in the use of 78,62 cars less in December on the lines east of Pittsburg and Erie than would = have been necegsary un- der the old method -of making up the trains with partly filled freight cars. The cars averaged 37.23 tons dur- ing the month of December which was about six more tons to the car than was carried in the same month of the previous year. This meant that six cars were doing the work which was required of seven in the vear previ- ous and if we go back of that it 4s found that eight cars were being used to tramsport the goods which six will do under the new loading meth- ods.- This change has been brought about by mecessity but it s an im- provement which means much in the solution of the trafsportation ques- tion today. .

" LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Relief Fund For the Permanent Blind Mr. Editor: Early in January a blind soldier gntered the offices of a. Paris newspaper and asked fo see the edi- tor. When ushered into his presence he saluted and stood at attention. The | kindliest efforts of the editor to in-| duce him to be seated were unavailing. | The visitor said‘he would take up D only a few minutes of the great man’s | o time ang apologized in a few dignified | ¥ phrases for his intrusion. What brought me here” he. went | t T have a wife and three | chuflren We had a home in a vil- lage that is now in ruins and occupisd q the Boches. My little family e; caped before the invaders got there When I was convalescing in_the hos. pital, having lost both of my eyes; they came to Paris to be near me. Paris was as g00d a place as any other and we have got to settle somewhere. | But wili you hbelieve it, we have not | been able to procyre lodzings where we could establish another little home. No landlord will rent to us. They seem to think that a blind soldier with a family of little ones, and poor, is undesirable as a tenant. Perhaps they are right, but what can we do? We can't continue to pay board—we can't afforg it—and ‘we have got to go some- where. I never in my life before have asked a living soul to assist me, but with my little family T am helpless. 1 Lave come to you sir, thinking that perhaps you would make our plight known to the great zenerous public, belleving, that sdmeone would help us, and others who may be in a simi- lar extremity, to locate somewnere.” It was fortunate for the editor that his visitor could not see his face. The great man roso with much' loud and unnecessary shuffling of his chair, put on his hat and then answered the sol- dier, still standing stiffly at attention with that unfathomable expression which is seen only on the faces af the blind in mental anguish and seems to concentrate the patient suffering of the world from the beginning of time. “Come with me, myfriend,” he said gently. A few minutes later, editor and sol- dier stepped from an’ automobile and | were escorted at once into the private office of Eugene Brieux, past a long line of visitors waiting to see him, some of whose names figure daily in the press review of the city's activi- es. The interview was brief. When it ended the editor came out smiling and beamed a greeting to the persons he recognized in the waiting line as, his arm in that of the biind man, he led him sack to the waiting car. As to the soldier, his visage was an enigma- tical as ever; but a close observer would have noted that there was light- into the Cimmerian blackness stretched before him to the unguess. able limit ‘of -his life.
