That portion of the President’s ad- @ress to Congress which deals with the railroad strike situation is in the na- ture of a reportswithout recommenda- tiens save on the single point of “put-| /ting teeth” into the law creating the Railroad Labor Board. Mr. Harding recites tne ciicumstances in which he was led to intervene, and to ask for a resubmission of all pending| disputes back to the board, at first with al walver of seniority by the railroad | .executives ahd later a reference of this important question to the board | Both of his proposals having itself. been rejected, at first by the railroads and second by the workers, the case reverted to the point where without ms compelling accepiance d's findings the situation becomes one in which it is necessary for the government to recognize the right of the railroads to operate with- ‘out union interference, and to declare the purpose to “use all the power of the government to maintain trans- portation and sustain the right of men to work.” Thus the administration stands pre- pared, it would seem, to insure the maintenance of railroad service how- ever the negotiations now in progress 1 New York Letween the executives union represeniadves. the big four trotherhoods acting as intermediaries in effect. may result. It is indicated that a settlement may come from these a *gentlemen's seniority that sessions, based upon agreement” regarding will practically assure work for re- turning strikers in terms that pre- serve their seniority status without @ waiver of the rules. There will be no public dissent from the position thus strongly stated by the President in respect to the full en- forcement of the laws to “maintain transportation and sustain the right of men to work.” That is a funda- mental principle. The railroads are recognized as public necessities. Their operation is essential to the welfare of | the people, the supply of vital needs, the carriage of mails and the sus- tenance of industry. At this moment the railroad com-| panies are within the law, and have the right to run their lines. The law that was enacted to secure adjustment of ‘wagé differences has been flouted | by the workers. It matters not in this situation that the railroad companies themselves were at fault in their disre- gard of certain findings. Means can be found to bring them into line with the law without suspending trans- portation. They cannot be compelled i i i i to waive the seniority rules which are | i the mail, ring the bell and depart, per- haps reaching three houses in the time that is taken now to serve one that is without a box. . Orders of this kind, or rather regu- lations, will not be observed until’ the recetvers of mail matter are compelled to observe them. The first assistant postmaster general has taken the mat- ter in hand by ordering that mail will not be delivered at houses unequipped with boxes. This for the present will not apply to all residences, but as a starter it will be put into effect as to all new ones. That is to say, people moving into new houses, or changing their residences, must install boxes. Eventually, it is expected, the {rule will apply to every residence. The first cbject of mail service is to get the mail to the people promptly and safely. It can be made more se- cure by being deposited in lgcked boxes than by mere handing through the door to any person who may answer the bell. As for promptness, the box-delivered mail is much quicker than that distributed way. The cost of putting mail boxes at the front doors is very slight for each person, and when tle advantage in greater promptness and greater se- curity is considered it is one of the best investments the householder can make. Scotch the Profiteers! President Harding's recommenda- tion to Congress for federal control of ceal distribution and prices should meet with prompt and unstinted re- sponse from the lawmaking body. The fact that the chief executive did not {ask much in the way of new legisla- ition to enable him to cope with the serious industrial situation is all the more reason why the one important thing he did ask should be granted | without quibbling. Without federal control and super- vision there is bound to be a runaway coal market the coming fall and win- ter, with the inevitable result that the consumer will be mulcted of every dollar it is possible to squeeze out of him. What Secretary Hoover aptly describes as the “bootleggers” of the re busy harvesting . and when nearness of cold weather joins forces with the scarcity of coal inflation of prices will gather momentum daily. The President’s recommendation that a commission be created to in- quire into and suggest reforms in the coal industry is a wise and proper one, but it is only of academic interest be- side the question of how people of moderate means are going to keep warm next winter. With an alarming deficit In coal stocks, the result of nearly five months of subnormal pro- duction, not only firm but intelligent management will be necessary if all parts of the country and all classes of households and industries are to be served with impartiality. The control necessary to assure such firm and in- telligent management now, not when cold weather sets in and harm has been done that cannot | be righted. Unless a settlement of the railroad shopmen’s strike is effected speedily jinadequate transportation will further shall have the spectacle of abundance of coal at the mines and none in the bins of consumers. A press dispatch from Birmingham saying between 4,000 and 5,000 cars loaded with coal are standing on sidetracks in Ala- bama because there is not motive power to move them is a warning of what lies ahead. that the conferences between railroad fundamentally established on all lines. As the ‘case stands, therefore, the government has no recourse but to maintain order. and where necessary to’use its force to prevent interfarerce with the operation of these public utilities that are so essential tu tue safety and sustenance of the people. _The President's statement of this matter is clear and explicit. It should hasten an agreement. But if it does not thus result at once it may be ac-, cepted by the country as an assurance that the shopmen’s strike, or any en- larged strike, will not stop transporta- tion. And at the proper time, perhaps at once, amendment to the law should be enacted to give to the Railroad La- hor Board the power to enforce its de- tislons by the imposition of effective penalties upon those who refuse to abide by its decisions, whether rail- rhed companies or workers. T —— ‘\fthe Patagonian plesiosaurus has not reappeared, disappointed, possibly, by the failure of the proper publicity man ‘to appear and utilize on behalf of his native land the splendid opportu- nity for publieity. 3 e *A_ social revolution is feared by Chancellor Wirth. The reckless will- fngness of German leaders to try every kind of violent disturbance once is abating. ———— The fact that work has been sus- pended in mining and railroading in- creases the country’s unrest. Idleness _ by no means implies repose. i 1 i i i i | 1 ‘There may be more that ought to be done on the tariff, but it must’be conceded that there is little more to be said. House Mail Boxes. ‘While it may seem drastic, yet the order that has gone forth from the Post Office Department that residences must be equipped with letter boxes to facilitate the delivery of mail is just and reasonable. If every letter carrier ‘Tigst wait at-the front door until some- body responds from within the house to receive the mail his. rounds are slowed to the point where he must either work long,overtime or else can- not cover in the usual hours the ground that is scheéduled.” In eny case, the mail delivery is slowed seriously. The busier a route-the slower the process becomes. It may seem a small matter w, hold .the carrier at the front door for. a minute or. a minute, but those half-minutes and minutes ac- cumulate during the morning and the afternoon es the carriers continue on thelr rounds. Tt is & common sight to see g letter carrier standing at the doors. Every such standing carrier TeDresents.a waste of time and e loss ot Wervice.

The Tammany members of the next House will be instructed by the Hall to vote for a modification of the Vol- stead act. The subject appeals strongly to Tam- many. In the days when the country was wide open that organization profit- ed greatly from the drink trafic. In many wards of the metropolis the nu- merous saloons were either Tammany owned or Tammany influenced. They | were convenient and popular meeting | places for ward politicians, and politi- cal plans were laid in them. _ This made their keepers liberal spenders in campaign years, whether city, county, state, or national issues were up. Men who passed the hat for party .funds rarely left one of those places with the “lid” empty. ‘“Come easy, go easy.” The old aphorism had many illustrations. Tammany, however, will not be like- ly to lead in the House movement. It has always been so extremely and conspicuously wet, its leadership would be embarrassing to men who while friendly to the vending again of light wines and beer still inveigh against John Barleycorn and the saloon. Tammany in the lead would suggest the return of the whole wet outfit. These instructions, promised at this time, have for object not only the metropolis but the state. Democrats outside the metropolis are to be as- sured by them that Tammany will do its best this year, and reminded that, when in full form and vigor, Tam- many is a power in both city and state politics. ————— ‘When disputants cannot even agree on a referse there is little hope of a rapid agreement on more important consideration: ————— e The public, while finding nothing to applaud in the strike situation, is nevertheless a deeply interested audi- ence. ~ Mr. Bryan. Are things political going as Mr. Bryan desires? He is silent at a time of much felicitation here and there. If he has indorsed anybody for & nomina- tion, or congratulated anybody who has achieved a nomination, the fact has not figured in the news. Letters and telegrams from Mr. Wilson have found their way promptly into print. - Of course, Mr. Bryan is feeling good over thd Nebraska result. His brother —said to be & man of ability, who has long remained ungelfishly in shadow serving him—has at last set up in busi- ness for himself, .and wants to be governor of the Blackwater state. It will be the mare distinguished man’s in any other | should begin | complicate the coal situation, and we | Tt is to be hoped | executives and the *big four” brother- | place, therefore, and presumably his pleasure, to take the stump in Ne- braska and give his brother a boost. Elsewhere, however, he will have to move cauticusly. He Is still an asset of the first water, so’to say, of the drys, and a good many democratic candidates—some for state offices and some for Congress—are frankly wets, and if elected will use their success In the wet cause. He will not want to aid them, and they probably will not press him for a visit during the campaign. Mr. Bryan has parted with his hyacinthine locks, but his vocabulary is unshorn, his voice unimpaired, and his charm as a speaker as potent as ever. Wherever the field is “right” he is still a star among stumpers. —_————— Mr. Wilson and the War. Should we not have a volime or two from Mr. Wilson's pen on the subject of the war? Especlally that part of the story dating from America’s en- trance? The former kaiser's contribution is ready. and will séon be on sale both in KEurope and in this country. M. Clemenceau is supposed to be busy with his. Mr. Lloyd George has begun his, and expects to complete Four hundred thousand dollars is the i reported compensation. Former Premier Asquith and Win- ston Churchill will contribute next winter. Mr. Wilson as a writer holds a high place. readers. Whether as essayist or hjs- torian, he presents his case clearly and-attractively. The war as a topic must make a strong appeal to all the principal ac- tors who possess the gift of expressing themselves well on paper. It was the greatest struggle the world has ever known, in the number of men en- gaged, the amount of treasure con- sumed, the far-reaching new geo- graphical lines traced, and the changes of sovereignties effected. Mr. Wilson's information and reflec- tions put between covers would com- mand a high financial figure, besides adding to his reputation as an author. Nobody could adequately hold the pen for him, or command with the subject the same attention. i Northcliffe on the Philippines. Among those paying tribute to the great talents and public services of the late Lord Northcliffe is Gen. Leon- ard Wood. On his recent world journey the fa- mous Englishman visited the Philip- pines and made an inspection of the Americans’ work there. He was af- forded, of course, every facility for in- forming himself. He was much and most favorably impressed with all he saw. He had not come without knowledge of the American record in the archipelago. From his tall tower in London he had often turned his eyes in that direc- tion and noted what was in progress there. Upon close inspection, however, he confessed to surprise. More had been accomplished for the Filipinos than he had been led to expect. He com- plimented with enthusiasm all those then representing American control in the islands, as well as those who at an earlier time had laid the American foundations. And he went further. He expressed the opinion, which was widely pub- lished, that, although they had -done i i pleted their task and should remain until conditions everywhere in the islands and throughout the orient were favorable to withdrawal. Naturally, he did not attempt to fix that time. He could see, as others are able to'see, that all calculations about so important a matter must take into account world conditions of a charac- ter more disturbed than the world hitherto has ever experienced. | i Sovietism has at least been organ- ized to a degree which permits Lenin while too ill to attend to them. } The end of the strike is in sight.

I{armi T is not perhaps the very best form to criticize the people of an adjolning state, yet one cannot’ wonder at the short- sighted policy of Virginia in the mat- ter of good roads. There are num- erous beautiful points and hamlets not far from Washington. These places are made up of the right kind of citizens, the kind that you like to drive out to visit in the evening or drop in on Sunday afternoon, but you are prohibited from enjoying these pleasures because the roads are worse than bad. It is a simple question of mathe- matics as to whether or not good roads are of a greater benefit to the individual than the amount of taxes that he has to pay for improved thoroughfares. Reports of different Iphabitant of the rural sections of the country where good roads obtain have made and saved far more money by having good roads than the ad: ditional tax amounted to in any in- stance. * % % FRIEND of mine told me a story the other day that he declared is the plain, unvarnished truth. At his home, over Georgetown way, he has installed a very modern and com- plete radio set, which includes the device used for the sending part of the undertaking, broadcasting, I be- |lleve, Is the technical term, and, knowing him as well as I do, it is my opinion that he purchased the ap- paratus for the sole purpose of play- ing practical jokes, this being, as far as 1 know, the only vice he pos- sesses. Shortly after the outfit was in- stalled and preliminary experiments conducted he started in on his dia- | bolical scheme of seeing just how imuch commotion he could cause in the familles of friends that he knew possesscd instruments for receiving radio messages. The first thing that l Until Bankruptcy Is Confessed America Should Maintain Claims. The present discussion in Europe of the imminence of complete bank- ruptcy of the nations there, coupled with the renewed pressure from abroad to have the United States re- mit claims for moneys owed to it again has brought forth a general discussion of the merits of the sug- gestion in this country. The senti- ment, for the most part, is opposed to any action by the Usited States while European conditions remain as they sre. There is, of course, a strong appeal by many papers for the use by the United States of the present situation to compel general land disarmament by the European powers. editors holding that if this | could be accomplished the United tates could wipe the slate clear Other papers suggest that both France and Great Britain have terri- tory on this side of the Atlantic ! which could be transferred to this i country in lieu of. cash, while still others are adamant against remis- stances. The time may come,” suggests the Boston Traveler, “when special relief for some or all of the debtor nations may have to be considered. America is not yet convinced that this is necessary. When Europe has done its best and falled, America may help. But it is too much in line with the kaiser's reputed aims for America to pay, in large part, for Europe's war.” Any change what- ever in the debt ratio of Europe must take into consideration the “plight of France” according to the Boston Christian Sclence Monitor, be- cause “the connection between the French debt and the German debt is indispuatable.” In this connection, the Asbury Park Press believes “there is much that is worthy of con- sideration in Senator Borah's state- ment concerning cancellation of the European debt,” provided there fs a corresponding disarmament by _the huge military machine of the allied ies. =, CaHis ¢ the Brooklyn Eagle T the siew of th s e 5 v is needed “is real co- - il ety ich this gov tion and leadership W rnment alone can give,” but the New York Post assumes the position that France and England must thrash out their problem of debt and repara- tion without reference to action by the United States—that is now clear on the other side, as here.” The Chi- cago Tribune points out that “alone among the victors the United States left Paris asl 1t ctll':"l the suggestion tha t has B!E%uda and the British West Indles and France has the French West Indies, which are of no value to either Great Britain or France ex- cept as outposts against us in war. Granting that war between us is im- probable, that is for us to weigh, and if we wish to make assurance doubl sure, as we ought to and do, the wa. ifs open for both Great Britain and France, by making over these unnec- essary possessions to us at a falr rice, in partial accounting for the gugh loans made to them at a mo- ment when to lack them meant de- feat.” 2 The problem eventually must be faced, however, and the Rochester Times-Union urges that it be faced now, as “we need to wake up and to weake up now. We need to show our leaders that we are ready to face the problem. They cannot act until we say the word. And they will not. It is up to every one of us to face the allied debt problem. The word must go forth that will ‘strengthen those in authority to_do the thing that must be done. Delay is folly. Face the facts! The Mobile Register further argues that “a practical people will look at the business from the point of view of obtaining the best results. .If the debt is not possible to be paid in full within & reasonable time it is unwise to measure it at its face value. The question appears to be: What can be saved from the wreck?” The To- ronto Star insists that, while “Brit- ain asserts firmly her intention of paying America in full, all the lead- ing British financiers assert quite as firmly that Britain cannot afford to accept payment of the war debt which France owes her. If France could pay in goods Britain dare not, for the sake of her own industries, let the goods in. It will be the same way with the United States. But it will take a long time for the American people, everywhere to grasp the fact that it will pay them better to cancel & ten-billion-dollar debt than. open their doors to the payment of Ht. Nohing, perhaps, but a substantial experience in the form of repayment will convince them.” There is a “growing opinion” in this country, as well as in Europe, the Cleveland Plain Dealer says, “that ur credits to the allies should be re- arded as a part of the American con- tribution toward winning the war, But in this country the memories of the war are fresh enough in the minds of some millions of service men and their families to make politically im- possible, and ‘generally undesirable, any policy that permits Germany to escape payment for her offense.” An- other obstacle in the way is the vast i1l being maintained in Eu- Syracuse Herald insists, and o8 rope, the “Euro] budgets before she .can expect any plan for an all-afound reciproeal for- giveness of national .debt to obtain EE e A S e nc N y, lew Orleans - thinks, “whether . the. billigns owed us by foreign governments will ultmiately be g: s beside the pres- ent question.

Another hoax that he per-; petrated was the sending of a mes- suge from a well known Washington business man to another man's wife stating that her husband was going to attend a poker party at a third friend’s house that night and would not be nome for dinner. Inasmuch as the alleged poker player was to be host at a formal dinner that evening and that his wife objected most strenuously to his playing the great American game, the recults can be tmagined.

An ex-service man. who had just returned from attending the funeral {of a buddy with whom he fought in France, is talking: “I wish you would say something that needs saying.

What's the matter with people here?” TRhet’s the way the ex-service man in uniform, coming from the grave of his buddy, talked to the editor. There wasn’t much to say to him. He might have been assured that it was carelessness—but would that have made the situation better? It might have been argued that they do respect the flag as the symbol of patriotism and nationality. That wouldn't have answered his questions. It wouldn't have salved the hurt he felt—for this man was hurt and outraged In his feelings. He wasn't angry. He was hurt at the apparent indifference of those who a few months before had stood with tears in their eyes and promises on their tongues to see the boys march away in the grandeur of a splendid purpose. That wouldn’t have explained the apparent indiffer- ence with which they stood without sign to see him carried to his grave beneath the flag. There was nothing to tell him, no answer.
