CANADIAN RAILWAY MANAGE
MENT
There Is nothing emotional in
the Canadian movement toward
nationalization, says an Eastern ex
change. The tendency iu that di
rection is the outgrowth of condi
tions forced upon the people and
the country. Until recently there
has not been anything like ope"
advocacy of the taking over of the
lines; perhaps if the European war
tad no* so greatly affected the
ordinary course of things, agitation
for government ownership and op
eration might have been postponed
for a decade, or for a generation.
It was originally the policy of the
Dominion, and of certain of the
provinces, simply to aid in the con
struction of lines with the' view
of developing the country, and to
lease them either to new or to ex
isting corporations. This was the
policy contemplated iu relation to
the National Transcontinental. An
Ottawa correspondence points out.
the failure of the Grand Trunk Pa
cific to operate the eastern sec
tion of that line, from Moncton, N
B, to Winnipeg, Man., has forced
the government to do so. thus ex
tending its intercolonial system
from the Atlantic seaboard to the
prairies. The railway under con
struction from Le Pas, Man , to
Port Nelson on Hudson bay, also is
destined to be operated by the
govei umeut.
It is improDauie tn:« we uv
miir'on will consent to having the
aided lines in part under private
and in part under public operation.
More likely is it that within reason
able time federal control will be
thrown completely over the new
transcontinental®, the Grand Trunk
Pacific and the Canadian Northern.
Both are struggling over finances.
Becase of this embarrassment de
velopment of the country which they
are supposed to serve is retarded
The country's prosperity as well
as its credit are concerned, and
positive action must be taken with
out delay in order that neither
shall be imperiled.
Perhaps the strongest reason for
the belief that nationalization of
railroads is imminent in Canada
is to be found in the deliberation
with which all steps looking to
that end are beiug taken. There
is no doubt, on the one hand, that
the government has the matter un
der advisement; on the other, it
seems clear that no decisive step
will be taken until the whole mat
ter shall be investigated and the
Dominion knows absolutely what
obligations it must incur and what
responsibilities it must be prepared
to meet.
VARSITY ATHLETE BACK
FROM WAR—ONE EYE GONE
University of Washington, Sept.
17—Aimar Auzias de Turenne, for

(Continued from last issue)
"!v!cause.r ShlmluT went on, thor
oughly aroused by Meisolson's apathy,
"if you're such a fool that you don't
know It. Meiselson. 1 must got to tell
you. Wunst 111 awhile- If a business
uiau Is going to get a feller for partner,
when he knows the feller is coming
around to look the business over he
plants plion.v customers around the
store and makes It show up like It was
a line business, when In reality he Is
going to bust up right away."
"So?" Meiselson commented, and
Shlmko glared at him ferociously.
"You don't appreciate what 1 am do
iug for you at all!" Shlmko cried. "1
wouldn't telephone the feller or noth
ing that we are coming, understand
me? We'll take him by surprise."
| Meiselson shrugged.
"Go ahead and take lilm by surprise
If you want to." he said wearily.
In point of fact. Isaac Meiselson was
quite content to remain in the soap and
perfumery trade, and It was only by
dint of much persuasion on Miss Ba
bette Schick's part that he was prevail
ed upon to embark !u a more lucrative
business. It seemed n distinct step
downward when he compared the well
uigli tender methods employed by him
In disposing of soap and perfumery to
the proprietresses of beauty parlors
with the more robust salesmanship in
vogue In the retail clothing business.
"Also 1 would meet you right here,"
Shlmko concluded, "at half past 1
sharp tomorrow."
After the conclusion of his interview
with Isaac Meiselson, Shlmko repaired
immediately to Zatnp's tailoring es
tablishment. and together they pro
ceeded to the otfico of Mr. Boris Klin
kowltz, manager of the Olympic gar
dens. on Hlvlngton street Shlmko ex
plained the object of their business,
and In less than half an hour the re
sourceful Kllnkowltz had engaged a
force of cutters, salesmen and custom
ers sufficient to throng Harry Zamp's
store for the entire day.
"You would see how smooth the
whole thing goes," Klinkowitz declared
after he had concluded his arrange
ments. "The cutters is genu-lne cut
ters, members from a union already,
and the salesmen works for years by
a couple concerns on Park Row."
"And the customers?" Zamp asked.
"That depends on yourself," Klinko
witz replied. "If you got n couple real
bargains In Miuple garments I would
not be surprised If the customers could
be genuine customers also. Two of
'em works here ns wolters, evenings,
and the other three ain't no bums,
either. I called a dress rehearsal at
your store tomorrow morning 10
o'clock."
On the following nay, wnen Mr.
Sbiniko visited his tenant's store, he
rubbed his eyes.
"Ain't it wonderful."' be exclaimed
"Natural like life!"
Zainp winked.
"Only the cutters and the salesmen
showed up," he replied.
"Well, who are them other fellers
there?" Shlmko asked.
"How should I know?" Zamp said
hoarsely. "A couple of suckers comes
In from the street and we sold 'em
the same like anybody else."
Here the door opened to admit a
third stranger. As the two "proper
ty" salesmen were busy Zamp turned
to greet him.
"Could you make me up maybe a
dress suit rait a silk lining?" the new
comer asked.
"What are you so late for?" Zamp
retorted. "Ivllukowitz was here schon
an hour ago already."
The stranger looked at Zamp in a
puzzled fashion.
"What are you talking about—Klin
kowitz?" he said "I don't know the
feller at all."
Zamp gazed hard at his visitor, aud
then his face broke into u smile.
| "Excuse nie," he said. "I am mak
ing a mistake. I»o you want a French
drape oder an unlinished worsted?"
For the next thirty minutes a suc
cession of customers tilled the store, and
when Klinkowltz's supernumeraries
arrived at intervals during that period
Zamp turned them all away.
"What are you doing, Zamp?" Shlm
ko exclaimed. "At 2 o'clock the store
would be empty I"
"Would it?" Zamp retorted as he
eyed a well dressed youth who paused
in front of the show window. "Well,
maybe it would, and maybe It would
not, and anyhow, Mr. Shlmko, if there
wouldn't be no customers here we
would anyhow got plenty of cutting to
do. Besides, Shimko, customers is like
sheep—if you get a run of 'em one fol
lows the other."
For the remainder of the forenoon
the two salesmen had all the customers
A GREAT RACKET
That is what a number of vis
iters hav» said about the new
"Horseman" tennis racket, of which
wo have just received a complete

they could manage, and as Shlxuko
watched them work his face grew In
creasingly gloomy.
"Say, looky here, Zamp," he said.
"You are doing here such a big busi
ness where do I come luV"
"What do you mean where do you
come In?" Zamp asked.
"Why, the Idee Is mine you should
get a couple salesmen and cutters,"
Shirnko began, "and"—
"What d'ye mean the Idee Is yours?"
Zamp rejoined. "Ain't I got a right to
hire a couple salesmen and cutters if I
want to?"
'Tea, but you never would have done
so if I ain't told it you," Shlmlco said.
"1 ought to get a takeoff here."
"You should get a rakeoff becauso
my business Is Increasing so I got to
hire a couple salesmen and cutters!"
Zamp exclaimed. "What an idee!"
Shlmko paused. After all, he reflect
ed, why should he quarrel with Zamp?
At 2 o'clock, when he expected to re
turn with Meiselson, if the copartner
ship were consummated, he would col
lect 10 per cent of the copartnership
funds as the regular commission. More
over, he had decided to refuse to con
sent to the transfer of the store lease
from Zamp Individually to the copart
nership of Zamp & Meiselson save at
an increase la rental of 510 a month.
"Very well, Zamp," he said. "May
be the idee ain't mine, but just the
same I would be back here at 2 o'clock,
and Meiselson comes along."
With this ultimatum Shlmko started
off for Wasserbauer's cafc, and at ten
minutes to 2 he accompanied Meisel
son down to Canal street.
"Yes, Meiselson," Shlmko began as
they approached Zamp's store. "There's
a feller which he ain't got no more
sense as you have, and yet he is doing
a big business anyhow."
"What d'ye mean, no more sense as
I got it?" Meiselson demanded. "Al
ways up to now 1 got sense enough to
make a living, nnd 1 ain't killed myself
doing it, nelthcrl"
For the remainder of their journey to
Zamp's store Shlmko sulked in silence,
but when at length they reached their
destination he exclaimed aloud:
"Did you ever see the like?" he cried.
"The place is actually full up with
customers!"
Zanip's prediction had more than jus
tified itself. When Shimko and Meisel
son entered he looked up absently as
he handled the rolls of piece goods
which he had purchased for cash only
one hour previously. Moreover, his
pockets overflowed with money, for
every customer had paid a deposit of
at least 25 per cent.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Zamp," Shlm
ko cried. "This is Mr. Meiselson, the
gentleman which I am speaking to you
about. He -wants to go as partners
together wlth^you."
