Cleveland, O., Aug.
20.—Myron
T.
Herrick of this city, member of the
executive committee of the National
Association of Owners of Railroad Se
curities, declared in a statement to
day that the turning over of the
vast system of railroad lines to
the control of the government, and
through the government to the con
trol of organized labor, would be a
long step toward the establishment in
'this country of an autocratic power
that would imperil the liberties of
the American people."
Mr- Herrick, who was formerly gov
ernor of Ohio and American ambassa
dor to France, is a banker, director
of the Erie railroad and of the New
York Life' Insurance company.
Mr Herrick asserted in his state
ment that "the experience of the last
two years with the railroads, as with
the telegraph and telephone lines, Is
ample proof that there is neither ef
ficiency nor economy In government
control. He said that such control
and operation would defeat the pur
pose for which the railroad brother
hoods were established, and that It
would involve a huge addition to the
public debt, as the value of the roads
wai estimated at $17,000,000,000.
Referring to the agitation by rail
road employes through the officers of
their organizations In favor of gov
ernment ownership of the roads, Mr.
Herrick said:
"This propaganda will not be fa
vorably received by the people of this
country, who. as always, must pay the
bill The deficit incurred in less than
two vears of federal operation is al
ready more than $500,000,000, and is
mounting at the rate of $2,000,000 a
day In spite of sharp Increases In

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shaippoo
If. you want to keep your hair In
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Mulslfled cocoanut
oil shampoo (which is pure and en
tirely greaseless), is much better than
anything else you can use for sham
pooing, aa this can't possibly injure
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. It
Is very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the family
for months.

freight and passenger rates. Directly
or Indirectly, in taxes, freight charges
and Increase in the cost of goods, the
burden of that deficit falls on the peo
ple and contributes in treipiendous
measure to the oppressively high
cost'of living. In the face of that
showing, who could conscientiously
wish to perpetuate governmental con
trol of the railroads?
"I cannot believe the brotherhoods
have thoroughly considered the con
sequences that would follow govern
mentor that they are prepared to ex
ercise this great power, their1 pres
ent propaganda is wholly at variance
with the character of their organiza
tions and with their long and honor
able history."
To add the cost of the railroads to
the government's debt, Mr. Herrick
said, "would weaken .the government
borrowing power, depreciate further
government securities, and increase
the rate at which the government can
borrow. He pointed out that the war
had added $20,000,000,000 to the pub
lic debt in two years, and that the
annual interest charge alone is now
almost equal to the whole annual ex
pense of the national government be
fore the war. "To buy the railroads
and double the national debt would
be exceedingly unwise," aaid Mr. Her
rick. "It would simply multiply the
principal and interest which the peo
ple must pay."
"Uncertainty in business will not
cease until the railroad problem is
solved," asserted Mr. Herrick. "Every
delay, means tremendous loss to the
country. All the billions of wealth
owned by the people of the United
States are to go forward or backward,
dependent upon the legislation which
is just ahead. A mistake will threaten
the whole financial structure."
Mr.. Herrick said that he believed
the best plan ypt presented for solving
the railroad qusetion was that pre
sented to congress by the National
Association of Owners of Railroad Se
curities. This plan, he said, provides
for a fixed percentage return to the
roads, and that where a road makes
a profit in excess of 6 per cent the ex
cess shall be divided between the gov
ernment, the employes and the rail
road. In his opinion this plan pro
tected all interests—the public, the
shippers, employes, and owners.
"The time for experimnets has
passed," said Mr. Herrick. "The gov
ernment has followed fads and fancies
far enough. Now let us forget par
tisan politics and devise a practical
plan for the businesslike management
of our great vehicles of commerce,
giving men of experience and vision
a chance to exercise their abil
ities. Radical experimentation is un
thinkable."
SAYS FILM BAN
IS POSSIBLE
Seavey Thinks Prohibition
ists May Strike At Movies
Next
By James Arthur Seavy, Managing Di
rector of Association Opposed to
National' Prohibition, in the New
York Times.
Through a voluntary spokesman, in
the person of William Fox, the mov
ing-picture industry has come out In
the open in favor of prohibition.
"What will prohibition do to mo
tion pictures?" says Mr. Fox. "It will
crowd the picture houses it will call
for the building of better and finer
theaters: it will increase the number
of theaters because amusement and
recreation, relief from sorrow, worry,
and care are essential. With the ex
hilaration of liquor gone—and, I be
lieve, gone forever—the general pub
lic must, be prpvided for.".
In this particular, it would' appear
that motion-picture magnates are
governed by the same motives as the
liquor magnates. One Is pro and the
other is anti because of the dollars
and cents that a "wet" or a "dry"
nation may bring to them. Neither
thinks much nor cares much about the
principle of constitutional liberty
which Is involved in constitutional
prohibition, and neither will suffer
from insomnia because the tyranny of
a minority, composed of zealots and
professional reformers, menace the
natural and Inherent rights of free
men in a free republic. But it may
be well for the moving-picture people
to take thought of the morrow.
i*'*-
I wonder if it has ever occurred to
Mr. 'Fox, and others similarly engaged
that their business may be practically
annihilated by the same fanatics who
have foisted constitutional prohibition
upon the country. The§s people hope
to destroy, without compensation,, all
property rights involved in the liquor
business, they threaten to destroy the
tobacco industry, they go so far
(through the "only male member" of
the W. C. T. U., Dr. 'Frederick William
Roman of the Department of Econ
omics at Syracuse University) as to
foreshadow the annihilation of the tea
and coffee Industry. They have al
ready brought about a censorship of
motion-picture plays, they tried tcj,
put through, at Albany, a bill prohib
iting the exhibition of motion pictures
on Sunday. Who will be so bold as
to assert that some future^, campaign
will not be inaugurated to wipe out
the moving picture business? No one
has clalrvoyancy sufficiently acute to
foretell to what extrem.ee the tyranny
of such a determined minority may
be extended.
I may add that the Association Op
posed to National Prohibition holds no
brief for the saloon, the brewer, or
the distiller. No one officially' con
nected with the association has any
direct or indirect interest in the liquor
business. Its sole aim and purpose
are to safeguard the constitutional lib
erties and personal rights of the cit
izens of this Republic.

All The Troubles That Have
Been Pulling Him Down
Were Overcome
"I weigh just twelve pounds more
now than I did when I commenced
taking Tanlac a short time ago, and
the troubles that have been pulling
me down for three long years have
been completely overcome," said Ed
Donahue, a well known employe of a
large grain and produce hous« at 206
West Michigan street, and who lives
at 429 South First Ave., Duluth, the

"This Tanlac Is certainly one medi

it will," continued Mr. Donahue, "for
I have tripd about everything I heard
of during the past three years and it
is the only medicine I have found
that has done me any good at all.
My stomach was in such bad con
dition that everything I ate would
sour'and cause me to have the worst
sort of gripping pains. My kidneys
were in bad shape, too, and I suffered
more than anybody will ever know
with pains across the small of my
back. If I stooped over for anything
it would feel just like a knife was
sticking in my back. My appetite
was no good, and I was so nervous
that I never got a good night's sleep.
I just seemed to lose all my strength
and energy and finally got so weak
and run-down that I was hardly able
to get about.

I had lost at least thirty pounds In
weight, but since finishing my third
bottle of this wonderful medicine, I
have actually gotten back twelve
pounds of .that weight, and I am still
gaining. I believe a*few more bottles
will put me in as fine condition as I
ever was In my life. In fact, my
stomach seems to be in'perfect con

I want, and I never suffer the least
bit- afterwards. That pain is gone
fp«?m my back, too, and I am so well
and strong that I can stand up besides

SAYS AMERICA HAS
EARNED GRATITUDE
OF ALL GERMANY
(By The Associated Pr^ss)
Berlin, Monday, Aug.
20.—America
has won the deep gratitude of Ger
many for her treatment of prisoners
of war and her labors for their be
half in Siberia, declared' Daniel
Steucklen, member of the national as
sembly and Imperial commissioner for
war and civilian prisoners today at a
meeting of majority socialists protest
ing against the further retention of
German prisoners In France.
The meeting was the first move by
the socialists in the plan to bring wo
men forward as an influence for the
return of prisoners, it being felt that
they can arouse more sympathy than
men. Herr Steucklen blamed France
for the holding of these prisoners and
said that the condition of the men
there, was bad. He skid the men
were treated well In Italy, but that In
Japan they were miserable.
