A political speech in Congrese— ene of the most brilliant bits of sa- tire in the annals of congressional oratory—once made Duluth, Minn., temporarily famous at = time when that thriving northern city was nothing but a trading post, strug- cling to get a railroad. But poli- ticians, statesmen and uncrowned kings of fmance can not do as much in as short a time to make a town known as a heavyweight championship fight; or any really great fight for « title. Tex Rickard made Goldfield, Nev., famous with the Gans-Nelson fight. Rickard, agnin, made Reno famous with the Jeffries-Johnson embrog- lio, before Reno had come to the fore as popular divorce center. Many small towns that nobody ever heard of have flashed into the pub- lic prints through thousands of pa- pers by the simple expedient of bid- ding, more or less legitimately, for the Dempsey-Carpentier, the Demp- sey-Willard, and other battles. But the thing to note about the psychol- ogy of fame via the fight route is that a town has got to have some- thing beside the fight to keep it fa- mous after the fight is gone. For a city like Casper, with its natural resources, a Dempsey-Wills fight, for instance, would be worth all the hundreds of thou de it would’ cost to put on—and more. For Goldfield, the Nelson fight was worth little aft a few short months. That battle was staged principally as a stock-selling adver- tisement, yway, though its mem- ory lingers with thousands long af- ter the stock project is gone. Gold, field today is deader than the mum- my of Rameses or King Tut. After the fight and the gold had passed, the town faded A boom mining town always does.

Naturally, the War,Department in peace time can only propose; busi- will dispose of its affairs as it s fit and as the Constitution al- s. Any sugestion based on study of the traffic field deserves, none \the less, that railroads, motor truck- ers, road commissions and, above all, shippers should think it over. | ‘The army plan sets up the fifty- }mile haul as the ideal limit; maxi- {mum for motor trucking and mini- mum for railroad freight movement. Shippers will say that the railroad can in some cases surpass the mo- tor in hauls much shorter than |fifty miles; that in some other cases jthe railroad is outdone on hauls of jgreater length. Circumstances alter icases. Among the circumstances Jone must reckon the bulk, value and perishability of the goods to |be moved, the frequency of the |Service, the season of. the year. The jcondition of the competing highway jand railroad, too, plays a part. Th |prices of coal and gasoline enter jinto the problem sometimes. Much - 2.50 )may depend on how much the rail-| road or highway is taker, up with other business, A normal dividing line would have to be bent in each ase to meet the particular circum- stances. Above all, it would have to offer a fair average dividing line between \the two transportation methods, to begin with. The railroads would/ ibe more likely to support an ideal division of hauls that they thought |did not curtail unduly their particu-| |lar field. Motor truck owners would |neglect suggestions that they aban-| jdon hauls where they had obvious- | ily the best of it. It is to be hoped | that the army officers studying the |problem have avoided an arbitrary figure and that they have records of study of many cases in many sec- tions to support them. The time should come when rail- road and motor trucks will, if not lie down together, like Umm and lamb, yet work side by side as yoke fellows. It will become easier for |them to join their efforts and di- |vide their field. The motor truck |will become more and more a fixed |quantity suitable for use in har- mony with the long established and ‘stable railroad. An effort War Department’s helps bring the two carriers together, to the gen- eral benefit. It will help more if both sides give it serious thought. The army students of transporta- tion have in mind war needs first of all; but the country knows that it should not take a war to intro- jduce a real improvement in its peace time business. { EXPLAINING THE | OBVIOUS |. The New York 1 goes to a length of several hundred words in explaining why Vice Presidents of the United States are not often put up for a second term. With com- jries along about this matter, dis-| jcussing Vice Presidents from Lin-| jcoln’s time to Roosevelt's. i It would be much simpler to ask! why Vice Presidents are put up at all; and much more pertinent. Also it migt be added that the reason they are not put up for a second term is that everybody has forgot- ten their names by the time a sec- ond term comes around. The function of Vice Presidents in the United States is to furnish vaudeville monologists with varia-| tions on this ancient and hoary-| jheaded joke, and to do the same| for newspaper paragraphers and “column conductors.” The only| way a Vice President ever gets known is to have somebody shoot a President. And who was it anid that if the President were to be called “His Excellency” that the Vice President should be known as “His Superflu- ous Excellency?” THE ARITHMETIC OF FRENCH POLICY For pure succinctness thank the New York World for summing up the reparations problem, which has never been written of before in less than a few thousand words, in the following clear editorial: “When the French government says that the German offer is in- sufficient, what it means to say is that 52 per cent of any sum Ger- many can pay is insufficient if France has to pay her debts. Take the German minimum offer of $7,500,000,000, assume that |France received all of it and had no British and American debt to pay. Would the sum be _ insufficient then? Hardly. It would be an ex- jcellent settlement for France. But if France receives only half of what |Germany pays and has herself to pay |her debts, then, of coursa, the offer is no settlement at all for France. It would leave her a large debtor. The matter may be illustrated as follows: 1. If France receives only 52 per cent and must pay her debts to | Gr at Britain and America: ets. Liabilities. 00,000,000 $6,400,000,000 If Great Britain ' cancelled reparations and Great Britain and American cancelled debts: A Liabilities. $7.

It 1s the finest kind of chicken soup in the world, according to those who have tried it, and is ready to serve at all times, at a temperature of 135 de- grees Fahrenheit.
