Ignoring Essentials ; The Democratic party demonstrates se inabil- o grasp the relative importance of govern- erie ewes when it throws Mr. McAdoo into the discard because of the disclosure of his em- ployment by Mr. Doheny. There was nothing necessarily wrong with that employment and the chief incident which makes it seem wrong was the manner in which Mr McAdoo kept it secret and finally quit it. Of course, the coun- ~ try has acquiesced in the view Mr. McAdoo had en of his own transactions. he amazing thing is that so much import ance is attached to Mr. McAdoo’s secret fees and so little to his public and official acts which have a very direct bearing upon his fitness for future public trusts. Among the features of his work is his management of the railroads, in which the demonstrated his unfitness. The railroads were taken over by the govern- ment at the beginning of 1918, with Mr. Mc- Adoo as director, and, for all practical purposes dictator. The interstate commerce commission, though still exercising formal authority, yielded to Mr. McAdoo in every important respect. While, therefore, railroad officials conducted the operating work of the roads, so far as run- ning the trains is concerned, all general. polic- ies were under the control of Mr. McAdoo. Al- though the roads were returned to their owners in March 1920, they were practically held under the McAdoo policies all that year. In 1918 the operating revenues of the roads were increased 21.6 per cent and their operat- ing expenses 40.7 per cent as compared with 1917. In 1919 their operating revenues were 28.2 per cent greater, than in 1917 while their oper- ating-expenses were 55.5 per cent greater. In 1920 the operating revenues were 53.9 per cent greater than in 1917 while their operating ex- penses were 106 per cent greater. At a time when nearly every other line of en- terprise was speeding up in order to make the best use of every effort, the McAdoo policies were such as to get poorer results from rail- road employes. More workmen were required to do the same amount of work. In 1919, for ex- ample, there were 10 per cent more employes than in 1917, while there was a decrease of seven per cent in the ton miles of freight hand- led. That there should have been an increase in the compensation of rail employes, no one has ever questioned, but not even the rail employes will approve the increase in compensation with- out a corresponding increase in railroad rey- enues, nor the adoption of rules which require the time of men whose work was not necessary to the task. There was, of course, an increase in other costs than the wages of railroad employes. In 1919, for instance, total costs of operation had increased 55.5 per cent as compared with 1917, whereas the average wage per hour had in- creased 76.5 per cent. During government oper- ation of the railroads, freight rates were in- creased about 36 per cent, on an average. Farm- ers at that time getting high prices for their products, made no objection to those increases, nor would they have objected to any increase made necessary by any proper increase in rail- road expenses. But Mr. McAdoo so managed the railroud business that he increased expenses out of all proportion to increased revenue, and when dull times came for the farmers, it was impossible to reduce expenses and rates in ac- cordance with the after-war adjustment of other Jines of enterprise. Co-ordinate Our Interests The high cost of operation of American ships is by no means the only reason why we are slow in developing a merchant marine. Industrial in- terests in some of the other maritime nations, particularly Great Britain and Germany, have made a specialty for many years of going after business for their ships. “Manufacturers and traders give the preference to ships of their own nations in the transportation of goods. Americans have been negligent in this regard. One of the agencies which builds up trade for British ships is the system of personally con- ducted tours under which the tourist pays a lump sum for his ticket, which covers all of the expenses of his trip and leaves him free from any trouble or responsibility in oonnection with selection f of hotels, hiring of dutomobiies, guides, etc. American agencies have not devel- oped this line of enterprise as have British agencies and, as a consequence, our ships lose a lot of business they might otherwise get. A most recent illustration of aggressiveness in building up new business is shown by a Brit- ish steamship line which announces a plan un- Che Casper Daily Cribune In this connection it is worth while to re mark that recent development of highways and tourist facilities in our national parks will do much to check the drift of tourists to Europe, and save to this country many millions of dol-' lars spent on the other side of the Atlantic.

He has been keeping un- desirable company. For instance he is one of the Bitter Enders of the rabid sort. Until recently too, he has been marching in Hiram Johnson’s political ranks, and has been relied upon by Jolnson, to aid in the latter's present campaign It did not require much astuteness for Mr. Moses to perceive that Johnson could get nowhere in New Hampshire, or in any other New England state, in a contest against Coolidge, and he let it be known that in his opinion Coolidge should} be given a chance and that he would be for him. But it is evident that Moses’ fellow-citizens mis- trust him.

This fact is one of the Sreat assets of the regularly ad- vertising merchants. By persistent, day by day in- vitation of the buying public and by constantly satisfying service, buying habits are formed. The occasional spasmodic ad- yertiser not only has not sown the habit-forming seed but must go up against the stubbornness of habits created by more consistent advertisers. The newspaper cannot bring cus tomers every day in the year to faithful advertisers and then pull them across the street or to tho d of the town when a timid merchant decides to put in a single advertisement. “r On war, find to a be o1 We was at 6 = Missing the Point It is difficult to understand how the issue this year is to be the president against the congress as some folks insist it will be. In the first place the people don’t defeat congresses. They defeat Republicans or Democrats. In the second place the president is only the chief executive. He is in practice also the leader of his party. President Coolidge will doubtless get votes from many independent Democrats but the Democratic party as a whole cannat be expected to turn to the president merely because there is dissatisfaction with congress. The president is in no sharp disagreement with congress as a whole. There is no conflict regarding congres- sional authority or presidential authority. Ac- cording to the constitution the president is not responsible for legislation. All he is supposed to do, if the constitution is strictly followed, is to recommend laws and exercise his veto power. Here is another complication. Congress, expe- cially the senate, is’doing a lot of investigating. For that it is accused of encroaching on the} executive department of the government. | It will be inconsistent to say that congress must keep its hands entirely. off the executive end of the government: and ‘at:the same:time blame it because it doesn’t do just what. the executive asks in the way of legislation. If the legislative and the executive power must be kept separate, they must be kept separate in one case as well as in the other. Probably many would like to see President Coolidge denounce congress for playing politics with his: recommendations. It is not his fault that congress has not done better. There wag a time when we could say the fault might be with our system but the British are having bloc troubles even with their “responsible” form of government. and Mr. McA did redu may. cone troit been ing stay Not a True Test Recently a radio query was sent out of Chi- cago “Are you wet?” There were some thirty-five thousand replies about two thirds of them being in the affirmative. They came from almost every state and from ships at sea. It may haye ‘been gratifying to the projectors of the scheme, it being assumed that they are wet. But what cause haye they for rejoicing, and what basis does their desire for modification rest upon? It is characteristic of the “wet”. individual that he is forever asserting himself. When he speaks on any topic he takes occasion to link it with his views on prohibition. It is sdfe to assume that a very large proportion of all anti- prohibitionists who heard the radio query re- plied to it without delay, and vigorously. On the contrary, thd friends. of prohibition, confident of themselves’ and the future of the reform, would for the most part see no need to make re- ply. That, also, is characteristic of them. They accept prohibition as a fact and intend that it shall no* be amended. Why should they concern ther:selves with any response to an entirely un- autyjtized solicitation of their views already ince vorated in constitutional law? The fallacy of this straw vote test is shown by the roports from the west, where it is claimed the large cities were o rwhelmingly wet.
