When you look over the old say*
ings, and then squint around at
things as they ire now, it is easy to
see that times have not changed
much. But most of us, we figure
that Grandpa was out of date and
wo kinds feel sorry for him ‘cause
he was so gullible.
And there is the old saying, that
Experience is the best teacher, and
it looks like it maybe also means,
experience is the only teacher. Be
cause here we are in 1937 listenin,
with our mouths open, to fellers
gettin’ themselves elected and re
elected by tellin’ us that they are
stayin’ awake nights just lookin'
out after our interests and tryin’
to make everything rosy for us.
And it is just the same as when
they was gettin’ elected or re-elected
100 years ago.
And we will wake up and the
feller who was lookin’ out for us,
he will have the money in the bank
and we will have the experience.
And other old sayings like. A
sucker is born every minute, it is
O.K. too, in *37 unless maybe, it
might be changed to read, every
one-half minute.

A JOB FOR HORATIUS
“If this government ever reaches
a point wbese it controls the owner
ship and operation of steam rail
road transportation, there is no
economic interest in this country
that is safe from the same kind and
measure of control. Government
regulation induces mediocrity
enough, but government ownership
and control would present a
problem of mediocrity that the
public would finally begin to see,
but too late to do anything about
it.” These words were spoken by
H. A. Wheeler, President of the
Railway Business Association.
The railroads are hard put to
supply a prosperous public with
comfortable and sufficient traveling
accommodations. Drastic and in
equitable regulation, excessive tax
ation and restrictive legislation
have taken such a heavy toll of
railroad resources that it is difficult
for them to keep up with the nor
mal development of our country.
New equipment is being added
daily, but during depression the
railroads existed in a state of sus
pended animation. A formidable
gulf of obsolescence was created
that had to be filled before they
could go ahead again on a sound
path to prosperity.
Replacing obsolete equipment, in
addition to meeting the demands of
the public, is no small job, when
it has to be done in the face of un
precedently low rates, coupled with
ever mounting operating costs,
higher taxes, increasingly stringent
regulation and the constant threat
of government ownership (socialism)
for the industry. Either the Am
erican railroads will bo permitted
to progress normally under the
supervision of equitable regulatory
laws, or further political ham
stringing will eventually force them
into bankruptcy and government
ownership, at the expense of already
groaning taxpayers.
DEATH’S BUSY SEASON
Now that summer is here, with
its increased tourist and other auto
mobile traffic, death prepares to
reap its richest harvest. From the
homes of the United States must
come about 87,000 to die and a
million others to be injured, some
crippled for life, during the year,
if former records ere to bo equaled.
This senseless slaughter goes on

Marys river on or about the night

The pitiful part of this continous
tragedy is tbat some of lhe.*ecasual
ties are entirely unnecessary and

of ordinary common sense. They
are due either to an insane desire
for speed or an utter disregard for
the most elementary rules of safety.
Many of ths victims are helpless
passengers, whose lives are at the
mercy of the crimminally reckless
or incompetent driver. Some ac
cidents are apparently unavoidable,
of course, but in the vast majority
of cases they are the result of pure
careloMness on the part of motorists
or pedestrians.
And even the most careful driver
is often helpless when he encoun
