Maryland and Virginia. Daily and Sunday..1yr., $3.40; 1 1yr. $6.00: 1 1 m o Rail Strike and Crop Moving. An imperative reason for tHe fu'l | powers in the sense of being the head restoration of railroad service appears in. the announcement from the De- partment of Agriculture regarding the country’s crops. Calculating on Sep- tember 1 farm prices, the value of the important crops of the United States will approximate $6,600,000,000. The corn crop is estimated at $1,801,900,- 000, the hay crop at $1,037,600,000 and the cotton crop, exclusive of seed, at $1,064,400,000. Wheat to the value of $720,600,000 is reported. Practically | every crop is above the 1922 figure, and most of them are above the ten- year average. In terms of bushels corn, despite detrimental growing conditions in Au- gust, is now estimated at $2,875,000,- 000. A large part of this must be moved from the farms. To do this will call for 4 great carrying capacity. ‘Wheat will be even more insistent in its demand for transportation, for practically 100 per cent of this crop is moved, and the greater part of it for considerable distances. Yet with all this tremendous bounty of nature the railroads at this time are in a depleted condition,” due to the strike. Freight cars and locomotives are at low power, though shop forces aere increasing in number and effi- clency and the rolling stock is being correspondingly improved. Between criminal interference, however, and the lowered state of the equipment, both due to the strike, the railroads are now incapable of handling this im- mense seasonal business with the ex- pedition economically requisite. The present estimated values of the crops are based upon the possibility of marketing without delay. If through inadequate transport the crops are not moved there will be much wastage through deterioration and much loss of value through failure to meet the market. Thus the strike may cost the country in terms of many millions in | addition to the cost already inflicted through lost wages and lost business. It is daily becoming more imperatively necessary to restore the railroad serv- ice to its full capacity. America. Well, anvhow, let us all rejoice in the fact that the United States is everywhere appraised as a powerful and going concern. All references to the republic. from whatever quarter, are in a complimentary key as re- #pects our resources. It is the general belief that at the end of a century and @ third of our national existence we! have much to show for our efforts— that we have the ‘‘goods.” At the same time we are receiving a great variety of suggestions as to how we should employ our resources— exercise our power—at this grave erisis in the world’s affairs. The gen- | eral tone of all is that we must “see the thing through'; that having put our hand to the plow we cannot turn | back; that the world needs us, and we must not fail the world. Whatever we are as a nation—what- ever strength we possess—has been achieved on plans of American devise- ment. We were fortunate in our foun- dations. They were laid by wise men, whose work was complimented in their day, and has justified itself ever since. The nearer in our development we have adhered to the original plans the greater has been our success. a tremendous Greek offensive, with strategic skill saving his capital from capture, and out of the remnants of mo. 70¢ | political Islam has created and sus- 1 mo., 20c { tained a government and now has re- formed a victorious fighting force and driven the invading Greeks out of .1yr., $10.00; 1 mo., 85¢ | Asia Minor.

With the affairs In Greece, however, the allied powers have no particular concern.” It is with reference to the situation in Asia Minor and in Turkey in Europe that they are now occupled. Mustapha Kemal Pasha has suddenly become a formidable figure. He has of the greatest difficulties, surviving the state. He pretends to no sultanic of the Mohammedan church, but the suggestion of the evacuation of Thrace by the Greeks is a strong indication of his purpose to reunite the two Turkeys. If he should make such pro- posals the allied powers will be in a difficult position. All-Night Parking. One of the Police Court judges has just ruled that it is unlawful for the owner of a motor car to park his ma- chine all night in front of his resi dence. This is opposed to a ruling previously rendered by another judge of the same court that such parking is permissible provided lights are kept burning end the machine does not obstruct traffic. If the later ruling stands and governs it will be neces- sary for the owners of some 5,000 cars, it is estimated, to find garage spaces, that number of machines being kept nightly in the streefs. Obyiously such a necessity is likely to entail much hardship, as garage spaces are now at a premium and the street-parking practice in large measure results from that condition. It would seem that all-night parking is, as a matter of fact, largely a ques- tion of the owner's wish. Assuredly there is no obstruction to traffic in a car standing throughout the night alongside of the curb, provided it is sufficiently lighted. The only danger is to the car, which may be damaged by collision or by the weather, or stolen. In a great many cases there is no room for the building of garages on the premises, and in some neigh- borhoods the public storage houses are at long distances, so that curbstone parking all night is almost a necessity. On the other hand, it is obvious that if one person is permitted to use the street for his garage others must be, and it follows that in the case of an apartment house, for example, the street may be choked with all-night machines, most of them beyond the immediate premises of the apartment. In view of the conflict of court de- cisions this matter should be settled by appeal to secure a determinative judgment. Certainly time should be granted for the finding or providing of garages to accommodate the machines that now are stored at night in the streets. Mrs. Harding’s Illness. While grave fears are expressed re- garding the health of Mrs. Harding, there is word of encouragement today that allays the apprehension that the life of the President’s wife is in dan- ger. The news of her iliness came as a shocking surprise, for though it was known that she has in the past suf- fered severely there was ground to believe that she had fully recovered. But the strains of office, which neces- well as the executive himself, have been especially severe, and Mrs. Hard- ing’s iliness may possibly be attributed in some measure to that fact. Since her arrival in Washington as the wife of the senator from Ohio, Mrs. Harding has made her place in the hearts of all who have known her. With her accession to the position of “first lady in the land” she adjusted ‘with grace to the change of situation, and retaining all former friendships greatly enlarged her scope of acquaint- Let us continue to adhere to those plans. The way to aid the world is to preserve our strength, end to pre- serve our strength we must continue in the American way. In other words, America must continue to be Amer- ica, and not become a mere cog in a world machine, operated by so-called and self-conceived supermen for pro- claimed superhuman purposes. ————————————— The opinion is freely expressed among striking workmen that Mr. Daugherty’s injunction step was not at all in harmony with his long-estab- lished reputation as an astute poli- tician. ————— One of the most interesting inveati- gations is being conducted by the man ‘who is now measuring up the require- raents of the family coal bin. Islam Resurgent. Events in Asia Minor are developing rapidly to a situation that calls for the greatest care to avert a catastrophe jnvolving the allied powers and a pre- cipitation of the old troubles between Islam and Christianity. The Greek army has completely collapsed and " has abandoned. the fleld. The Turks have advanced to the gates of Smyrna, which is under allied control. In Smyrna and the region round about bands of Greek soldiers, irregulars, Armenians and Turks gre pillaging with little hindrance, though the war- _ ships of the allies are ready for action. Greece has mage overtures for an ermistice, but the Kemalists decline _to consider eny application of this character unless made directly by the cafe that it will be granted then only on condition of the Greek-evacuation of Thrace. Thus it appears that the purpose of the Turk nationalists is to force recognition’ by the allied powers | ice. as the true Turkish government, and perhaps to compe! their reception and establishment in Constantinople.

The La Follette Victory. Senator La Follette's majority is notable and & record in Wisconsin for size. It was obtained after & thorough canvass of the state, in which his competitor for the senatorial nomina- tion participated. The people, there- fore, went to the polls well advised as to the issues and the candidates and their decision is & plain indorse- ment of the senator's recent record in Congress and of his attitude toward the national administration. It was a republican primary and the senator made his appeal as a member of that party. And yet the record indorsed is that of open hos- tility to republican policies in Con- gress, while the senator's attitude toward the national administration is unfriendly in nearly all things. The question will at once arise as to what effect this signal victory at home will have on the senator and his’ course in the coming two years. He is one of the men to whom both republican malcontents and democratic malcontents throughout the country are looking for advice and leadership in the movement for the organization lof & new party in time for action in 1924. In the speculation on the sub- Ject, indeed, the senator's name is fre- quently mentioned in connection with the new party's supreme leadership, ‘La Follette for President” being a recruiting slogan. This nomination will, of course, be followed by election, which will give Mr. La Follette the prominence of a place on Capitol Hill in the opening months of 1924, when a great deal bearing on that year's campaign will be taking shape. The Herrin Atrocity. The Illinois authorities were slow about taking up the Herrin atrocity, but they are to be praised for the progress they are making now they have it in hand. The grand jury has returned a large number of indict- ments, and more are expected. The body is still in session. The mob did its hideous work openly and unafraid. No masks were worn. Masks have gone out of style. No effort of any kind at conchalment was made. So that the jury when im- paneled, and guided by the state’s at- torneys, had a clear course, and has pursued it with success. This action is to be credited to pub- lic opinion thoroughly aroused. All sections and classes responded. Wher- ever the appalling story was published indignation resulted, and demand made that the flends be tracked and brought to justice. At times it has seemed useless in the case of a mob to make such a demand. Many were made, but nearly all went unheeded. Mobs muitiplied in number, and their deeds increased in ferocity. But, at last, publicity has scored. Here is an instance whére such a de- mand, coming from many sources and repeated many times, has conquered a sluggish, if not hostile, local senti- ment, and forced steps looking to the adequate punishment of the guilty. Let us hope that work so well begun may be prosecuted promptly to e suc- cesstul conclusion. ———— There is no limit to human progress.

She further confided to the lady of the house that many of the woman neighbors thought that the husband must be a bootlegger. After her first feeling of indignation had passed the recipient of the news caught the humor of the situation and replied: “No, it's not so, but if it were ‘pex;haps we would have more of the luxuries of life than we have; at least all of those who are engaged in boot- legging appear to be able to drive "high-priced cars and dress their wives in silks and satins.” * ¥ X % H NOTHER story told me by a triend the other day concerns the arrest of a certain individual in a certain nearby state.

The refusal of the Railroad Labor Board to define just what consti- tutes a living wage, for the benefit of the fhaintenance of way employes of the nation’s raflroads generally is sccepted by most newspapers as justified because of the many Lele- ments which would enter Into the task. However, there is a well partic- ipated-in suggestion that, if it could be done, it would make for industrial stabllity and would act as a prevent- ive of strikes. The real issue, the Baltimore Bun believes, is that “labor wants its wage to be the primary charge on industry. The other side thinks that profits, dividends and. interest are the D! mary, charge.” The Newark News also suggests that, while the fundamental proposition of fixing a wage standard may be all right, “when the argument gets down to hourly rates it is not so0 readily acceptable,” pointing out | Ithat under the Adamson act the: | elght-hour law was “used actually to force a material wage Increase with- out changing real hours worked or hourly rates of pay.” In refusing to act the board, in the opinion of the Pittsburgh Leader, ! presents a “not uncommon example of ithe extent to which our moral cour- lage has . The Railroad Board knows what is a llving wage, but for reasons of ita own not plain .to the public denies that it knows. Either that or it dares not consent to act upon its information.” “The fact that, because the “rail- roads are privately owned, the higher cost of the living wage system can only be met by a curtailment of serv- ice. or of expenditures for improve- ments, or by increased freight and pas- senger rates, against which the public rebels” is the lil'gly reason for the {board refusing to 1.x th ling to the Philadelphia Bulletin, whi [me Wall Street Journal insists that Congress and not the Labor Board is {the only body with authority to take i such actlon.
