The Kaiiroad Labor Board, appointed under the law of 1920, consists of f nine members, of whom three represent railroad management, three the railroad workers and three are nominated by the president to represent the public. The representatives of labor on the board are Albert Phillip0, vice-presicent of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engineermen, of Group 1; A.O. Wharton, of the Railway Employees' Department of the American Federation of Labor, and Walter D. McMenimen, ex-president of Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen. These gentlemen, chosen by the railroad workers and participating as mer <ers of the board, are under obligation to abide by the findings of a majority of the board's members. They were under no compulsion to accept membership and the railroad unions should at least have forborne to share in the composition of the board unless they were prepared to carry out its orders in good fait: In short, the verdict of the public will be tli at when the railroad unions accepted the wage board as tnbunai of arbitration by contribut* ing their representatives to its membership, they bound themselves to be governed by its decisions. Any other constriction of the board's power and nature should be equivalent to denouncing it is a subterfuge and a farce from its beginning. While the board is without power in law to force its decrees, it was established in the hope and in the belief that it would serve as an instrument for the peaceful and friendly readjustment of wage schedules forseen as inevitable in every branch of industry and trade. It appeared to the congress, creating the board, that a body consisting of representatives of two parties to the labor contract, employees and employers, and of the public, would have the good sense to arrive at a solution of the problems certain to arise. When the railroad unions assented to the establishment of the board by sending their representatives to it the conclusion followed that they were prepared to receive its judgments as decisive and tc waive the resort to industrial warfare, that is, the strike. The public, which does not rebel ilm>icinn? nf hnarrl. ir fact surrenders a large part of it: rights by consenting to its existence The public is under no shadow oi obligation to admit that organizec railroad workers should enjoy a thirc of the power in this quasi court From the point of view of the public the organized worker is not superioi as a citizen to the non-union mar but, in the thought that the railroac unions by entering the arrangemern would put; an en'd to railroad strikes it willingly permitted them to b< clothed with this extraordinary unprivileged measure of authority. Thus, tie railroad unions were ac corded by the congress, for the people, recognition of the highest value. Have they used it in manner justifying the popular confidence??Columbia State. ' Ridiculing Marriage to Death. >j (From The Literary Digest) 5 Proper training for the marriage 1 alter would tend largely to prevent ' i the divorce evil, we are told, since "the real reason why there are so many unhappy marriages and viola' tions of the marriage covenant is, in a great measure, because young peo1 pie have rushed unguardedly into matrimony, without any real under[ standing of the sanctity and significance of it all." As The Herald of 1 Gospel Liberty (Christian) puts the (case further, young people "have 1 never been taught a sublime appre! ciation of marriage, nor warned of 1 the terrible consequences which are 1 almost sure to follow a carelessly f and hastily conceived union." In stead, they have heard marriage treated as a joke, as a subject for 1 teasing, and are thus educated to 1 think lightly and superficially, and ; even skeptically, of the whole question of marriage. Jokes in the fun1 ny papers, ridicule and fun-poking at ' marriage and divorce in vaudeville, teasing from childhood up, in both school and heme, all tend to break down a sense of the "moral and sajcred equations" involved. "And in the past few years there has been added another most tre mendous source of harm. Our modjem fiction seems obsessed with the | idea of hasty marriages. In both book and periodical literature, even 1 in many of our finest and most highly respected magazines, the characters are all too frequently hurried to the marriage altar. It is no unusual thing for the merest chance uoiii wauv,co iu wvov ?v vv married after a few weeks of silly adventure?adventure in which many times a young lady by choice or acJ cident spends two or three days and nights away out in some wild alone with some young fellow whom she jhas known only for a week or two! I And all this sort of dangerous stuff is now being intensified and glorified J in a new way by the movie picture. ' There is scarce a screen in this land that is not, every few days, showing some picture in which young j people of only a few days' or weeks' acquaintance consummate a marriage. And of course in both the written form and on the screen a halo of romanticism is thrown around these hasty marriages, and the youthful observer is led to believe that they 'live happy ever after!'" What is needed to offset all this miseducation, thinks the Herald, is "just plain, ordinary, common-sense teaching of boys and girls of school and high-school age of the beauty and sanctity of marriage, of the holy responsibilities cf home-making, and , of the ineffable privilege of father* * J i-1 1 I >? ! nooa ana momernwu. x axww must cultivate that close comradship i with their children which will lead J to the most intimate and heart-revealing confidences about their "fellows" and "girls," and the subject oi marriage. The process must continue in the secular school and the Sab! bath school, wherein the teachings on this theme have been "pitifully i meager and shamefully Inadequate." Moreover, "The church has been equally negligent of this phase of the marriage I theme. It has sternly denounced divorcing and our lax divorce laws and l court practises; and some denominajtions have even prohibited the rej marriage of divorced parties.

"Doan's Kidney pills were recommended and after I had used them I was entirely cured." (Statement given January 21, 1918.) On February 23, 1922 Mr. Epps said: "It has been a number of years since I have had trouble with my back and kidneys and I credit Doan's Kidney pills for my cure." 60c, at ?.11 dealers.
