Lines bend but never break. One of the great reatons, we believe, why loathing for war has grown until it stifles many of the older fighting instincts in millions of human hearts, one of the great reasons why Americans have found themselves unable to thrill as in other days at the thought of righteous battle, is to be found in the appalling dearth of anything inspiring, ouperb, or splendid in the interminable, monotonous murder to which modern warfare, as observed in Europe, has reduced itself. Considered in the n no such fighting can either quicken the pulees or make militant the soul. From a distance it can seem only hideously, inexplicably futile. ———_--+ The Republican candidate is enjoying a few days’ restful mountain climbing in Colorado, leaving fils fellow countrymen to hit the high places as best they may until he gets to work on tyem again. 4 + THEY HAVE HAD AMPLE TIME. N THE event of a general railroad strike the public would have every right to look for a great deal more than merely such aid| or protection as it might be the duty of the Government to furnish. Railroad managers hove had plenty of time to measure the prob- able effects of a strike upon their respective systems. They know, or ought to know, pretty closely what employees they can count on And what reserves could be drawn from their retired lists. They as many new men as can be found who are competent to run engines or msn trains. If there is a strike, freight and passenger services are bound to suffer and suffer seriously. But it should be possible to move food and mails without asking the Govefnment for’ anything more than due protection for trains and the men who run them. Prosperity, with its high-piled freight, caught the railroad man- agers napping. Let’s hope that adversity, in the shape of a strike, would find them better prepared. — Frederick W.
