There is a great deal of loose talking and writing in justification of the at- tempt to tie up the transportation sys- tem of the countr shop crafts, stuff that would perhaps appeal to the people if they did not | read the sapers and think for themselves. As it is, the speciousn with which the urged is evi- dent to all but of partisan prejudices. For example, there is a paragraph in the latest statement of | B. M. Jewell, head of the railway em- plo department of the American Federation of Labor, of this character: | new case those The railros syes have no de- sire for a strike. They have done| everything that honurable men could do to aveid a strike. Now that thev have been forced into a strike it shall be effective in a legal and proper manne 1d it will be continued to a successful conclusion. This strike was the voluntary act of a sroup of unions in e fusal to accept an award of a hnnrdI of arbit on cated by statute | and authorized to adfust wage and P s between railroad em ployes and corperations. There was no compulsion to strike save that of | their own devising. They went volun- | out of the shops, and immedi- ately proposed a ¢ upon a curious co would r | eompanies of the wage athers. Tn other wor 3 accept the authority of the beard in a partic ich was to their advan tage if resist it where it | was disalvantageous. The strike, says Mr. Jewell, “shall he effective in a legal and proper man ner.” Ju “legal and proper” the strike has been conducted is to be noted in the news columns. Men hired | by the railroads to continue the shop { work necessary to maintain the trans- portation service have heen beaten, dragged away from their jobs, in some es kidnay uards stationed to protect the works have been beaten @nd shot. The foreman of a shop in T has heen murdered. These | things have happened in all parts of | the country. If that is a “legal and proper m * those who promoted Ind called the strike are responsible “or a criminal procedure. Tt is the custom in such a situation jor leaders and union officials to dis- Platm respensibility for all disorders nd violence, which they attribute to *sympathizers™ or to the provocative Rctions of the employers. These crimes that are being committed are precisely bf the same character as that at Her- tin, though not on such a large scale. The President has proclaimed that men who accept service with the rail- roads to keep the trains running in the course of this strike are to be pro- tected. Troops are in readiness for 1his purpose. Sounding phrases from the lips of leaders will not stay the hand of the government in carrying out this policy for the protection of the greater public interest. —_———————— The theatrical producers are mak- ing their announcements for next sea- son. The number of revues and musi- cal comedies scheduled indicates con- fident expectation that the railway strike will be settled in time to permit the transportation of the usual large quantities of scenery and wardrobe. ———————— The automobile would be an easy | solution of any railroad tieup if it! were not for the fact that the distribu- tion of gasoline depends largely on rail transportation. ————— Only an unreasonable optimist looks for a consistently encouraging series of announcements from the weather man during the months of July and August. ————— At least the gravity of the wage situ- ation has been realized to an extent that prevents anybody from blandly asserting that there is ‘“nothing to discuss.” ————————— Midsummer Marooning. Tt is a singular perversity of the ele- ments that as a rule the worst storms come at the most inconvenient hours. Take yvesterda$’s deluge, for example. | It broke just es most of the people in this city who go out daily to work were on thelr way home. Tens of thousands were caught in the streets or in cars or motors. Those who re- mained in the business section after office hours to do errands were trapped by the dewnpour, and some of them were held in stores and office buildings for two or three hours. The storm hit the city in the middle of the ball game, and several thousand people were marooned in and under the grandstand until after 6 o'clock. Domestic sched- ules were completely thrown out of Bear. ‘These storme bring out pointedly the fact that comparatively few peo- ple carry umbrellas as an insurance against the discomfort of being caught out in the rain. The average person only carries a watershed when “it Jooks like rain.” Some people have ac- quired the habit of umbrella carrying in summer time because experience ‘has proved that afternoon storms may occur any day, however cloudless and clear the skies may be during the fore- noon. But yesterday umbrellas were of iittle use during the early part of the storm. A person venturing forth __under one would be drenched in & few 1 s { { which may be exchanged to meet their {palling problem than ever the seconds, so furious was the blast and 80 heavy the fall of rain. One factor that causes particular trouble in the case of these tremen- dous summer afternoon storms is the interruption of clectric current and the stoppage of cars. Yesterday's sub- urban service was seriously affected in this way, in some cases people living at points in Maryland and Virginia being held either in town or in cars on the road for three and four ' hours. The water comes too rapidly for the drainage to carry it off. In yesterday's case the downpour was phenomenal, more than three and e quarter inches of water falling between 4 and 10 o'clock, and the greater part of that was in the first hour and a half. No system of ducts can cope with so great a volume of water. Fortunately Washington escaped any particular injury in the course of yesterday’s storm. Some slight prop- erty damage was done by lightning, but no livés were lost. New York, on the contrary, had a similar storm in which lightning killed three, and two others lost their lives and heavy dam- age was caused by the flooding of premises. This city, discommoded as it was, escaped with light toll for the break In the heat wave. What Next in Europe/f At The Hague the inevitable has happened. Another attempt to achieve the impossible, to,reconcile two utter- ly irreconcilable social and economic systems, has come to naught. The Russian and non-Russian delegates could find no common ground upon which to stand, so they are going their separate ways. They are going their separate ways, but whither those separate ways will lead them no man is wise enough to tell. Tt is a case of hoping for the! best, while fearing that the worst must happen. ! The worst is so full of possi- bilities of, woe that the mind cannot grasp it. There are nb precedents for measuring a catastrophe of such mag- | nitude as the one toward which Eu- rope appears to be moving. An ex- treme of misery for a generation seems the least that may be expected. Beyond that lies the menace of a com- | plete breakdown of civilization, with resort to savagery and the wholesale extermination of peoples. If it Is thought the picture is over- drawn, it is only necessary to have some understanding of what alreads has happened in Russia, and to catch even a glimmering of the more ter- rible things which inevitably would have happened had it not been for American arity. A survey by the American Relief Administration indi- cates that the crop soon to be har- vested will barely carry the Russian people through the coming year on scanty rations, leaving no surplus other pressing needs or for payment | of taxes to sustain the lmpnvori.«‘had} government. Should the government, as is threatened, attempt to requisi- tion a part of the scanty crop for ex- port, in order that it may get the gold it failed at Genoa and The Hague to get, the consequences are incalculable. A nation of a hundred ard fifty mil- lion souls in chaos and anarchy and utterly desperate would be a more ap- | world has vet been called upon to solve. What now is to be done? Some new effort must be made, but how and where? Buropean statesmanship has | tried and failed, and in consequence European statesmanship has gone bankrupt fn world confidence. The world instinctively will turn to Amer- ica for leadership. It will not do to say that it is no concern of ours. If there is anything that we can do it must be done. The opportunity is pre- sented for some American statesman to win for himself and his country everlasting glory. —_—————— The President’s Spirit. ‘The President preserves a cheerful spirit. He gives abundant time to work. He sees many callers. He con- siders many subjects. The situation on Capitol Hill and throughout the country is plainer to him than to most men. Many of his visitors pour out their troubles to him, or describe the troubles of others. In one way or an- other he is made acquainted with the fact that there is a good deal of trou- ble in the country. But he does not despair. His con- fidence in the ability of the country to ride out the storm and right itself is supreme, and he shares it with his visitors in conversation, and with the public in eddresses. It is the only proper spirit for the times. It is the onmly spirit in which we can hope to conquer. It is idle to shut our eyes to the situation. We are in rough weather, as, indeed, all the world is, and it may continue for a spell. But as we have the best boat afloat, and know from experience what rough weather is, why should we despair? Why not copy the skip- per, and keep our faith in our craft. It is no time for striking, but men are striking. It is no time for flouting legal tribunals, but some men who ought to know better and are in posi- tions of leadership are doing that very thing. It is no time for declining con- ferences looking to the adjustment of differences between capital and labor, but there are some representatives of labor and some of capital holding off stubbornly. Still, we can stand all that, and still make port if we will to do so. The will of a hundred million people led by a man of will is strong. ————————————— Wilhelm Hohenzollern has quit|are here for a rest,” remarked Si|“would tend to coi chopping wood.

Mr. Hitch- cock aspires to renomination. He has opposition, but his chances are con- sidered excellent. His course in office has subjected him to criticism. He was not enough of a Wilson man to suit the Wilson- ites, and yet too much of a Wilson man to suit the anti-Wilsonites. He championed the league of nations, and urged its ratification without reserva. tions. To his faflure in that matter has been attributéd by some theloes of his party’s leadership in the Senate. ‘That judgment, however, is not per- |ing their hest to avert apathy. the theory of paper money to its logi- THE EVENING S’I’Ai, WABHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, suasive. Mr. Underwood, who won the leadership, voted for the ratification of the league without reservations. Mr. Bryan has not figured In the dispatches about the contest. But he, is & Floridian now, and hardly in posi- tion to take a part. He may not like Mr. Hitchcock any more than when he resided in the Blackwater state, but when he moved his tent he sur- rendered his right to participate longer in the affairs of the reserva- tion. Or so the friends of Mr. Hitch- cock hold. The republicans carrled Nebraska by a hundred and thirty thousand odd two years ago. But if the expected democratic upheaval takes place, Ne- braska should show the effects and Mr. Hitchcock be returned to the Sen- ate. The state will be warmly can- vassed by both parties in a campaign of nearly four months. Mails and the Strike. In one respect the government is much better prepared to carry on the mail service of the country now than ever before in the history of railroad labor troubles. It has two resources that were unavailable during the great “Debs strike” of nearly thirty vears ago, the automobile and the airplane. Preparations are now being made to move the mails by road end by air if the strike should cause & further tie- up of the rail lines. More than a thousand commercial airplanes have been offered to the Post Office Department for this purpose, and large fleets of trucks have been assembled in the larger cities. If every train were to be halted tomorrow probably by Monday_the malls would be moving, perhaps in full volume, and while on the whole somewhat more slowly than normal, yet with suf- ficient rapidity to prevent serious dis- turbance to the nation’s business. 1 But even if these expedients were effective in getting the malls delivered the government would have ground for intervention to stop the strike. The trains are the regularly designat- ed mail carriers. The whole system is adjusted to train service and sched- ules. Any interference with mail trains is a blow at the government, and however effective the substitutes in an emergency the government's| duty is to restore that service. i It is this fact that makes a ralroad | strike so unlikely of succe: and yet he strike remains the fool expedi- ent of the railrcad unions. The fact | is that a fully successful railrcad strike involves a defiance of the gnv-] ernment. It is, in short, a revolution. That is why, in the present state of affairs in this country at least, it can- not succeed. — Strikers have been rioting in Eng land. The impression in the minds of some British editors that rioting is a distinetly American custom is gradu ally wearing away. —— Aviation experts insist that the air- plane is as safe as the automobile, though subject to similar risk of life when it has a reckless driver. e T A senatorial campaign cannot be quite as interesting as a presidential campaign, but the candidates are do- —_— The summer thermometer does its best to convey no reminder of the fact { that the iwinter coal supply is more or | less in jeopardy. —_————— England persists in quietly remind-| ing the remainder of Europe that the | best way to get rid of debts is to pay them. i —_——— Germany has succeeded in pushing cal conclusion.

Expenditure of this enormous amount of money on the nation's transportation system is held to in- dicate the determined effort being made in a majority of the states to solve the highway transportation problem and at the same time bring about one of the aims of the unem- vioyment conference by men. Under the federal highway act, ap- proved last fall, it was provided that the states should furnish the money with which to meet federal ald or that they should have conirol over the funds so used. State funds, amounting this year to about $275 000,000, are obtained from general state taxes, legislative appropria- tions, state bonds, automobile tax enues and gasoline taxes and spe- cial funds. Maryland has recently put into operation a special state tay on gasoline, by which the consumer is required to pa; 1 cent tax on each gallon. The money will be put into | the construction and maintenance of the great highway system of ate, which is noted through country for its excellence. * ok Kk X Twenty-five states now levy a state highway tax, varying from one-tenth te three and one-half mills on the dollar, according to the Amerfean Automobile Assoclation.

One act of the state legislature calls for a tax of 1 cent a gallon on gasoline bought in the state for a preliminary period in order to make up a deficiency in the state road maiz- tenance fund and to find out the amount of money which it will be | possible to collect from this source. The second law would exact a tax of 2 cents a gallon and the horse- power tax, which now stands at 60 cents. a horsepower in the state, would be reduced by a corresponding amount, depending on the money raised through the gasoline tax: The second law carried a proviso that when the two-cent rate goes into effcct the state may arrange for complets reciprocity in the matter ! of registration fees and horsepower charges with the Bistrict of Co- lumbla. | The American Automobile Assocla- Itlnn and government officials say i i there is a great lack of uniformity | in motor vehicle taxation in the dif- | ferent states.

William Allen White has made the | discovery that there are things in the sychology of the modern boy of ! which he was ignorant. His disillu- on came with the flasco of his plan for a Fourth of July parade of boys with dogs at Emporia, Kan., with a prize to reward the youngster who had the largest number of canine pets in line. To the surprise of the dis- tinguished editor and philosopher, not a boy with even one dog turned out. Boys of the present day have S0 many new interests that going fish- ing, visiting the old swimming hole, !and even fraternizing with dogs, have declined in the relative scale of im- portance. The modern boy inclines more to mechanical things. He fools about motor cars and tinkers with wireless telegraphy and has Boy Scout affili- ations, and there are always the movies. Huck Finn would find him- self a back number in a group of boys of this day and generation.

Overworking Our Words. Ever notice the tendency of the average American citizen to seize upon one eingle word, roll it about work it overtime? Surely you can recall that some years ago tHe word “efficlency” became the most popular one in our language. Almost over- night it was being used, more often possibly than any other word, by every one, from bootblack to bank president. We had efficiency handed us from all sides, on all occasions, and seemingly it fitted all purposes. The “efficlency expert” soon had his name attached to a pay roll as a result of it. But we sort of wore that word out—and then the war gave us a new one. The French passed out some- thing about *camouflage,” and, while some of us haven't yet learned the exact pronunciation, and a lot more never will know the exact meaning, we found it fit in mighty handy in almost every conversation for no other purpose than to demonstrate our ability to lay that word .“camou- flage”” down in the right place. But the armistice was signed and they buried the word with the sword. Did we grow downhearted? We did not. We just waited around a while and here came some one with a new one— “visualize. ‘We're getting it now in ponderous doses. They've got us “visualising” from nrlz morn until late at night, and the busine: with something to sell who can't fit it into his advertising appears to be looking directly down the gun-barrel of bankruptcy.
