THE HOMOR AT HIMIN. Dead bodies and dying men lay upon the ground under the torrid sun.

A man with his shoulder shot away and to whom It appeared death would come in a tew minutes wai of them. "Please, give me a drink," he moaned. A laugh from the hundreds ot spectator! wax the only reply. Another wounded man asked tor water In Ood's name. A young woman with a baby In her arms placed her toot upon bis mangled body and aatd: "I'll aft you In hell before you get any water." Unarmed men who had surrendered to their attackers under a white nag were shot down as they ran.

Men were bound together and dragged behind automobiles until they were dead and their bodies mangled. Attar these horrors their bodies were gathered together and placed In a vacant store building. The bodies with their gaping wounds wen laid out upon the floor with bricks for Hundreds ot cartons passed before the dead bodies. No word of sympathy was heard and upon the faces of many who viewed their handiwork were smiles ot satisfaction. These acts of Inhuman savagery took plaoe In the month ot June in the year of Our Lord, 1922, at the town ot Harrin, 111, In the most enlightened country in the world.

They show that when angry passions are loosed man ean sink as low and even lower than the beasts. They show that tor all ot the development ot centuries and the teachings of civilization man can revert in a tew minutes to a savagery as lustful and cruel BB that ot hit anceetry before, the time of history. We read ot this Incident with horror. shakes any feeling ot satisfaction we may have had over the progress of the human race. It shows how easily and quickly our civilisation might be torn down.

It must chasten and humble those of us who may have had pride in this civilization. I YOU AND I ft ALBERT APFLC LOOK OUT FOB A OAR tHOBTAOt. number ot freight cars in active use la regarded aa a barometer of business conditions. A shortage ot ears 1s usually aa Indication of great industrial activity. "It la time to raise very seriously the question whether the railways are not approaching another period ot congestion ot traffic and 'shortage of cars'," says the Railway Age, "On May 81 the number of idle freight ears wai 504,702.

This does not Indicate any danger ot a shortage ot equipment. But let as consider tome other facts. The number ot can loaded with freight la the week ended Hay 28 waa The number loaded with coal was 74,141 less than to the same week ot mi and 11,143 thaa la the aame week ot 1920. It coal loadings ted been normal, the total number of ean loaded would have been approximately 900,000. "It Is but a "matter of time until the coal strike wfll be settled, attar which, owing to the depletion of coal stocks, the railways undoubtedly will be called on to move at least 100 oofr leads ot coal weekly more than they are moving.

Experience In the fail of 1919 and again in 1920 showed that with the facilities then available it was extremely difficult tnr them to handle more than 1,000,000 carloads of all freight weekly. It 1s evident, therefore, that a large Increase of ooal shipments and a continuance ot the Increase of Otter traffic would soon tax them to their capacity, But will other traffic continue to increase? "There, an strong reasons for believing it will. Hnt, crop prospects, especially In the west, are un oaaalfr good. Second, building operations are grow lag throughout the country. Third, there are many signs that the stocks that most manufacturers, and merchants have on hand are low, and that as the signs of returning prosperity become more numer- one and convincing the demand for the raw materials ot manufacture, ai well as for finished products, win (row rapidly.

It would appear that the only thing needed to gtve the railways a business that will break all records Is a settlement ot the coal strike. It this Is the case, the enly possible way to avoid car and congestions within a tew months tint, to speed up repairs of all equipment that to not In serviceable condition; secondly, to speed up the construction ot new equipment and railway improvement work already ordered; and, third, to gin an effective campaign to secure the most efficient Btiliiatlon possible of all available railway facilities. "In 1920 the greatest transportation difficulties la history were met and overcome by the co-opera tton ot the railways through the American Railway Association and by the of the Individual man- The lessons learned then should be remembered and the methods used then should be mtwd." KICK-FORWARO! Kick! Kickers are all right--It they kick in the right direction. But be lure to kick ahead, and not behind. Kick to get something and to get somewhere.

lck to a good purpose. For to kick forcefully" In he right direction Is to be somebody, eventually. Kick to grow. Our forefathers kicked against taxation without representation and founded a nation. Wendell Philips kicked against human slavery and helped to free a race.

The Allies kicked against the Kaiser and hordes and made the world safe for civilization and humanity. History favors kickers--who kick to grow. Kick with a smile on your face and determina- ion In your heart. For the kicking business fares badly with bitterness and revenge taWng'Tlckets at the gate. Kick hardest of all against your own faults and failures and bad habits.

And kick against every- hlng useless--time-wasting, cheap gossip, aimless people, habits that sap your power. Kick for recognition when you have real worth to show. Kick for knowledge. Kick for principle. Kick or a place on which to stand squarely and honestly.

And then kick out hard to make good there. But all your kicking, remember-Kicking is the means and not the end. And after you have kicked your kick, pass on. Take the step your kick cleared the way for. Get ready for another kick--ahead.
