The cause of the financial difficulties of the electric railway company has beén determined beypnd question—it is in the lower purchasing power of the dollar—the commrissior, after ex- haustive inquiry, finds the prop- erty has been managed as well as pos- sible under _the . unusual:conditions created by the war. fore the only remedy is in revenue correspond- ing to the mew wage schedules and the higher prices of coal and other supplies. The Rhode Island commission ar- rives at the same conclusion the troi- ley heads have been preaching for some time—that fare raises are not enough but there must be remedial state legislation if trolley service is to be saved for the people. AMERICANISM TO THE FORE. The elder J. P. Morgan affirmed his faith in the American people when he nsed to say that “a man who is a bear on the rountry is sure to go broke.” He felt that the sober sense of the American people could always be de- pended unon to see things straight and to act upon their conclusions. This faith seems to have been vindi- cated by the history of the steel strike, in which it is reported most of the strikers are foreign born and that the percentage- of the Americans among them is small. Those Who went out at the first call were largely of the foreign-born class and now that they are discovering that their leaders are inti-American they resent being placed in that classification and are repgrted returning to work. They are realizing what the American spirit is doing for them in the housing and school facilities provided for them through the corporation and by the social connections which their families enjoy and they do not see where the labor unions offer them anything bet- ter. If the men are returning to work in, evideni that the radicals in the A, F. of L. have lost the strike and the great stake they were playing fof. Congressman Cooper, himself a for- mer member of and now an advocate of labor unions, has issued a warning that the steel strikers must call, a halt in their mad course The common sense of the American people can be depended upon. AID TO DISABLED SOLDIERS. Paying a debt of honor with a worthless check is the way the Amer- ican Legion Weekiy, the offictal or- gan of the American Legion, describes what has been done to fulfill the na- tion’s obligation to disabled soldiers, sailors and marines who”served in the war. The case is probably overstated though it mayv have some basis in fact. The immediate object of attack is the federal board for vocational education. The sixty-fifth congress is blamed with aiming too high and leav- ing too much to the board which is charged with gross incompetence.

TWO TROLLEY SOLUTIONS. Providence and New York offer two opposite measures taken in the solving of troliey problems. In Providence, | after o hearing before the public util- jttes commission, this board has or- dered a six cent fare with two cents extra for transfers. In New York.| Mayor Hylan is setting out to save a| five-cen: fare for the people by the| disintegration of the street railway systems. In this he is openly charged with the deliberate intent of wrecking | the companics. Severai of the im- partant o town lines in Manhat- tan have alreadr ceased running, while tmportant up and down lines have been separated from the rest of the svstem. In Brooklyn twenty-six s-parate Hnes are to result from the dtsintegration of the system. The five cent fare may be saved but the in- dividual will pay more of them. The change in fares in Providence s 1o take effect at the end of the week, but it is not claimed that it will place the street railway in a stromg fmaneiz]l position. The commission makes it clear that there must be fur- ther action by the state and the mu- nieipalities.

XNot that she was an awful woman, really. But whether she suspected that I was a bride and wanted to tease or whether she was just tactless, she did get me into a lot of trouble first and last. She began the conversation and seemed so pieasant that I. enjoyed chatting with her until she began to ask ques- tions. Then I was kept dodging. She wanted to know if I had been married long. 1 said, Oh, yes, sothe time. Then she wanted to know where we came frém. 1 told her Chicago. Then she wondered if I knew what were the long distance charges between the ho- 1fttle: country places, and even when T'd made the operator understand ev- erything, as | supposed, she called me back to ask me who was making the call. “The awful woman from St. Paul heard my difficulty and came into the- office where 1 was wrestling with the phone just as the operator asked me for the miilionicenth time, who was calling. “ ‘Miss Brenton!

Then, when the operator had said that she’d call me when needed, I sat down, ail of a cold sweat.” “Well, I don’t see anything in that to groan over,” was the spinster’s d: gruntled conclusion.

If we ever decide to face some future food crisis by stocking our larders with locusts, as suggested yesterdayl we might do worse than supplement them with a vegetable that at present is not recognized among our table deli- cacies.

B. in inaugurating the Hawthornden Prize at a literary gathering at Essex Hall. This prize of £100 is to be bestowed | annually by ,Miss Alide Warrenden upon the author of what is judged by a committee to be the most distinguish- ed work of imaginative literature in English, either prose or poetry, pub- lished during the preceding . twelve months. The only condition is that the author sheuld not be -over 40 vears of age. The winner of the prize awarded yesterday is Mr. Edward W. Shanks. Sir Edward Povnter’s death recalls the marriage romances of the three sisters Macdonald. They were . the daughters of the Rev. John Macdonald, who some 60 years ago was a Weslevan minister at Burslem. One of the trio married a rising young artist named Poynter, who was to become President of the Royal Academy. The second was wooed and won by Burne Jones, destined to achieve not less fame. The third Miss Macdonaid marrying Lock- wood Kipling, then a designer in the Potteries, accompanied him to India, where was born to them a son, christ- ened Rudyard. Is there any parallel to the careers of these sisters, children of a- Methodist passonage ” The most interesting feature of Judge Cory’s demonstration to wound- ed soldiers of the things a man without hands can do was the implement with which he did them.

Marblehead, Mass., Sept. 20, 1919. Action and Reaction. Mr.. Editor: Anything signed by A. B. Lincoln is always interesting and worth reading. When engaged in temperance work no one could equal him in a polished and convineing ad dress on prohibition—hence, his re- _cent homily in The Bulletin merits more than 'a passing notice. This letter of his seems to be an explanation of or apology for the wretched attitude now existing in the labor unions of our country. and an attempted solution of the same on the principles of natural science, or what hs is pleased to call, “Action and reaction;” at the same time lay- ing down as an opinion that action and reaction are equal- As a matter of fact, it is well known in mechanics tha: action and reaction are no such thing as equal, but that reaction is always less than action, for the very obvious reason that a proportion of -the force is absorbed by the oblect against which, the re- bound takes place. The cushion of the billiard table—to use Mr. Lincoln’s illustration—takes up its portion of the blow—so that the reflex action is just so much less every time the bail deflects from its primal course. This is no secret and does not rely upon a theoritic definition for its demonstration. In a very few movements the ball comes to rest, having practically_ exhausted its entire fund of action. Mr. Lincoln's application of the an- alogy in science, however, shows that the labor organizations are going to extremes in an effort to get back at capital, which means that the reac- tion, as he deems it, is out of propor- tion' to. its cause. ~Indeed this goes without saying, for there never was a anti-bellum or post -bellum, when labor did not receive, in this country a higher compensation than in any other country on the face of the globe. This is the data for comparison, and the true test for conslderation. Fifty or sixty vears ago, a man who had a shilling a day In the old country, on arriving here could earn at least one dollar per day—equal to four shillinge—and_if he was willing to lives as frugally as he had been accus- tomed to in his native iand, he couid lay by three— at the lowest two shillings—and _this he did, until® he Who shall say| had a fund sufficient to bring here his parents or brothers and sisters to en And where find such| jov with him the blessings of this a record among the great families of | promised land and ist greater remum- the land? A recorded existence for 500 years in one spot! ‘ The writer knows, however, of an- other farming case which may, possi- bly, beat Mr. Walker’s in some respects. The yoeman family of Curnock has lived upon and farmed its own free- hold lands of some 1,500 acres at Hills- ley, in the Cotswolds, in Gloucester- shire, for just over 420 years. The original freehold, it is true, was some- what smaller, being added to in the past as a result of one or more mar- riages with local heiresses. But the fact remains that for over 400 vears the Curnoeks have sat upon their own lands at Hillsley without deigning to trouble either Burke, Debrett or Lodge. It is a proud business, this is. — The London Chronicle. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Marblehead’s Welcome Home.
