It takes a man of courage to criticise the party to which he bears allegiance and remind it of pledges to the people which it has broken with no excuse, yet William E. Borah is exactly that man. No one will pretend to doubt that the promise was made in the platform and from every platform from which a Republican orator plead the ceuse of his party —that among the first matters to receive considera- tion at the hands of e Republican congress would “be peace with Germany. The matter hes received at- tention and will no doubt become a fact but there is no excuse for the delay. It should have been a reality long ago. And when Senator Borah irdicts the party for its negligence every Republican in the land knows the indictment is true and is shamed. <xator Borah says: “It is now approaching three years since the armis- tice was signed. For nearly three years we have been, as a matter of fact, at peace with Germany, and yet at the end of nearly three years we aru technically in @ state of war with Germany. It is a very large item, indeed, in the question of getting back to nor- mal conditions and of trade resuming its proper func- tion and entering the channels through which it was formerly accustomed or wont to pass. It is very much greater than the mere proposition of establishing a technical state of peace. It has to do with the entire question of the economic condition of the United States and of the world. “Not only kove we failed to establish a technical state of peace, but we have done that which in my judgment, unless we surely and speedily remedy our. course, was most unfortunate. We started to do it and then have failed. If there was any one distinct pledge made to the people of the United States in the last campaign which was clear and simple in its statement, easily comprehended, and which apparent- ly a vast majority of the people understood and in- dorsed, it was that as soon as the party asking for power should be admitted to power it would estab- lish a state of peace. The president in his speech of acceptance stated in substance that a state of peace would be established as soon as the Republican con- gress could pass it, and he could attach his signature to it. “TI venture to say that there is not a man in this chamber or in the house who went before the people for election who did not give them to ‘understand that one of the first and speediest acts of the Republican party would be to establish a state of peace. “We have an overwhelming majority in the house and an overwhelming majority in the senate, and che eecutive department is Republican from turret to foundation stone; and yet we stand before the coun- try, we stand before the world, as unable to pass a simple resolution establishing a state of peace. We have not only been criticised by the opposite press, but we are now being apologized for by our own press, and we have become the subject and butt of ridicule by the foreign press. The congress of the United States is unable to formulate a proposition which re- stores by law that which in fact exists. “We are kept in a state of uncertainty and unrest, and many arguments are made for expenditures for this and for that, for te army and for the navy, based upon the proposition that the world is still rest- less and in a state of war. I am not seeking to criticise any one individual, but as the party having control of the government we ought to pass a resolu- tion of peace, regardless of the particular wording of it, which will accomplish that which the. people de- sire, to establish that condition between this country and Germany.” . The Republican party has been in complete contro} of the government for more than three months, There is not 2 thing in the way of establishing peace and restoring friendly diplomatic and trade relations with our late enemies. Our own people and the world de- sire it and have hoped for it a long time. Our pledges have not been kept and there is no adequate excuse. 2st hes Re Sn Se BB SL THE TEST OF MORALE. When the railway wage cut becomes effective the country will have opportunity to learn just how sin- cere the railway workers are. What manner of citi- zens they are and whether they recognize the system of give and take. The Fall River News says of the day that is approaching: “How. good is the morale of the railroad workers? Any cut is a test, and the railroad labor board's order for wage reduction effective July 1, a cut averaging 12 per cent and affecting members of 81 labor or- ganizations on 104 railroads, is a supreme test for both workers and management. Some of the labor leaders regard it as a victory for the men, as a still larger cut might have been expected: Railroad ex- ecutives protest that the cut is too small to give the relief the managements need, and, in point of fact there seems much merit to the last conclusion. “The malcontents, the agitators, the trouble-makers —of whom there is surely no lack in the ranks of the railroad workers—will welcome this new material for the preaching of their unholy gospel. And « man whose weekly pay envelope has been lightened is very apt to be a ready listener to all sorts of buncomb, from anyone who wants to let off steam. But the rank and file of the labor army is made up of men of sense, and it is not hard to believe they will accept with good-will the requirements of the situa . The new reduction is much less than the aggregate of ‘war-time.iacreases, and as the cost of living is drop- ping, an actual gain is achiev.d for “The railroad) managers have a problem on their hancs far more difficult than that of the men work- ing for them. They must make the roads earn the still high expenses they must meet. When business begins te boom in the fall ‘will be exough freight to make good times for the railroads even if lower rates come to make us al] happy again. “It was inevitable that the cut come. It seems to have been made wisely. Ahother cut may have to} come later, too, but for the present the adjustment seems ali that could be asked. It is up to both man- agers and men to do their duty, and work out the salvation of the roads.” ——— 9 —___. ADVERTISING PAYS. The doctors ought to come out of it, cast ethics to the dogs like their patients do the physic, and get away from those old fogy and false ideas that have ruled the profession for so many ages. There is nothing to their pretended aversion to advertising ex- cept prejudice and stubbornness. The Louisville Courier-Journal makes the point that “The ethical c>- jection ‘of the medical profession to advertising may be well groundef, but how great a convenience to the public just now would be advertising by physicians. “Consider the convenience—to the public—of such advertisements, displayed or inserted inthe classified columns, as the following: “Doetor Jones: Prescribes beer for chills and fever, cats and abrasions, that tired feeling, spring fever, run. down conditions; poison ivy, lumbago, warts, rheumatism, dizziness, melancholia, jaundice, chiggers, a hacking cough, indigestion, loss of sleep, loss of ap- petite, loss of flesh, loss of pep. “Doctor Brown: Recommends and ovreseribes in preference to surgical operations for chronic appendi- citis (symptoms described upon request) a case of bee: every once in so often.

There are worse calamities in the world than a bumper potato crop and take it from the Baltimore American we have it this year and they are cheap: “In the midst of the general growling it is mect that someone should srise and announce a thanksgiv- ing, The justification as well as the opportunity is here. In the one article of food which almost mors than any other fills the stomachs of the world there is plenty. Potatoes! Now the potato is not an ob- ject of beauty or adulation; it has only a passable bloom, and its form is prosaic, but when it comes to rea] substance it stands as one of the great things of the world. “It is the statement of L. H. Bailey, an authority on agricultural matters, that ‘one acre of potatoes frequently furnises ss much human food as ten acres of wheat.’ The potato production of the world rises to the extraordinary total of five billion bushels. Yields of 4 thousand and even of twelve hundred bushels to the acre are on record. In our country it leads all truck crops. “In Europe the potato crop is doing as much as any other agency to save the people. It is a xcdsend to the stricken lands. In America it is furnishing about the only cheap food in sight. “Great is tse potato! It is not lovely, but it fills the bill.” cos ES 0 NATIONAL ACTION NECESSARY. The race riots that have occurred in this country have been and always will be a shame to it. The south is not called upon to bear the disgrace of re- cent months whatever may be said of isolated cases of lynchings and murder. It is the north and west that have furnished the worst instances‘ of clashes be- tween races. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iinois, Nebraska and now Oklahoma, every one of them politically Republican and it is therefore up to that party and the adminis- tration in power at Washington to find some means of blotting out this national disgrace. It requizes but little survey or investigation to get at the situa- tion. It demands action to make such occurrences impossible, The Republican party in # platform plank went so far a year ago to urge congress to devise some effect- ive means to end lynching and race clashes. We have lwerd about more or less business in government and government in business. ‘To put an end to race riot- ing is the largest kind of business and no one is pre- venting the Republican party, the Republican con- gress and the Republican president from getting busy. © UNDERLYING FALLACIES. We have wandered from the plain old essentials or else have become confused and lost our bearings with reference to social, political and governmental rela- tions. The Springfield Union brings us back with a jerk when it says: “Much of the socialistic fallacy of the times comes from: the assumption that organized society owes its individuals sverything and the indi- viduals owe nothing to society. Much of the political fallacy of the times comes from the assumption that the government owes the people everything and they owe the government nothing. Now pending in con- gress is a lot of legislation based on the proposition that the government must do something for certain classes of people, and the correct principle that these or other classes of people should do something for the government appears to be ignored, just as the young safe-breaker seems to have ignored the fact that he owed society his honest productive effort.” PRESSE TS. ERE RS SWISS VIEW OF CITIZENSHIP. “A proposal to require twelve years consecutive resi- dence in order to obtain Swiss citizenship,” says the New York Tribune, “is now before the people of that republic. Evidently the Swiss are feeling the same reaction to the peaceful invasion of foreigners that has been manifest in this country. Like ourselves, they are willing to make their land an asylum for the oppressed up to a certain limit, but more wisely than ourselves they prize the privileges of their citizen- ship so highly that they are willing to grant them only to aliens after long residence. ‘ “This proposal to make the term of residence 12 years is considered so drastic that the government has offered a counter proposal of six years’ residence be- fore naturalization and four years’ additional resi- dence before the naturalized can become officehold- ers. America will watch the outcome of this refer- endum with interest. Many people have claimed that the naturalization laws in this country are too lax, Switzerland has ofen before set us a good example.” ——— The Chicago Journal of Commerce in addition to favoring strict immigration laws, thinks that some- thing should be done also about Russian caviar, Hun- garian goulash, French heels, Meican chili, Bermuda onions and Scandinavian novelists. | SE EASES Sa The coal industry of the country does not stand four square with the public but persists in its profiteering course.
