'N VOTING to report to the Senate in amended form the Knox resolution aimed to rip the League of Nations out of the Peace Treaty, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee declined to consider Senator Hitchcock’s suggestion that Acting Secretary of " State Polk be summéned to tell the committee what effect the q passage of the resolution would have on the Peace Conference. Such a fefusal on the part of the Republican members of the oommittee was a matter of course. The only consequences of tearing | up the Treaty that in the least interest Republican Senators like Ledge, Knox and Borah are the hoped-for weakening of the Presi- dents power and prestige in a political field comprised within the boundaries of the United States and the chance of a Republican grip on the next Presidential election. | In marked contrast to this Republican narrowness, prejudice and pactisan vindictiveness in the Senate is the attitude of as dis- | tifguished a Republican as the party boasts, who has been travelling " about the country preaching a wholly different view of the League and the Treaty. a Speaking last Saturday at Albany, William Howard Taft warned level-headed business men of the United States that “if any substan- | tigh amendments were made by the United States Senate to the | Treaty and they were not subsequently ratified by the other signa. "tories, the United States would be in a state of war with Germany, © while Germany would be at peace with the other nations and in a > position to trade with them.” “This is no partisan question. We should be for or against the Leagtie of Nations without respect to whether we are Democrats or Republicans. Personal and partisan considera- tions of this kind are reasons which should have no influence with us in determining an issue so fateful in the world's history and so likely to affect the future welfare of the péople of the United States and all mffnkind.” The Republicans of the Senate have made noise enough. | the Republicans of the country be heard. " Are they with Mr. Taft in wishing for a speedy peace, a well- guarded peace, a peace of settled understanding and prosperity, in which the United States shall have and have immediately the place it has earned and that belongs to it? "Or do they follow Senators Lodge, Knox and Borah, in whom hatred of the President is far stronger than a desire for peace, and _ who, to discredit him, would willingly tie twenty knots in this Peace Treaty or any peace treaty—regardiess of how many weary months it might take to undo them? ] ———4 Those in charge of the Russian Socialist Federal Soviet Republic headquarters in this city are naturally indignant at the raid the Federal authorities of the United States made on their offices. What's the good of a country that cares more for its institutions than for the convenience of foreign propa- gandists? What is this free America anyhow? ‘ -+= sash WHY NOT THE PUBLIC’S CONVENIENCE? i WwW": the summer travel season at hand the public regrets more than ever the good old days when it was possible to reserve Pullman accommodations withont railroad tickets ‘and even on occasion to telegraph for them from intermediate points. ¥ The United States Railroad Administration long since decreed _ that such convenience shall not be. Its attitude in the matter takes _ -on a singular light in the following notice issued last week by George _ A. Cullen, Chairman of the Committee on Consolidated Ticket Offices in New York City, to managers, agents and employees in these ticket | offices. ‘The italics are ours: : ee. Gentiemen—This will serve to remind you of instructions with which you ere fully familiar, prohibiting the sale of Pull- ‘Accommodations except on the simultaneous purchase or bpftbedtation by the passenger of corresponding rail transpor- tation, There have been a few instances recently indicating relaxation on the part of some in following out the rule referred to, and while we are of the opinion that in most cases this deviation has been the result of @ desire to be overcourteous ‘end accommodating rather than anything more serious, it is evident that the practice must be stopped entirely or demoral- ization and discrimination will result. , |The notice goes on to say that any further cases of the kind “will result in discipline being applied to the one guilty of such offense.” F “The result of a desire to be overtourteous and accommo- ” Have Mr. Walker D.

Federal control abolished the privilege. , Ceasing to accommodate the public in this direction doesn’t feem to have helped much on the financial end. Under Federal gement railroad fares in the United States have been boosted and higher, and still the railroads must have more billions the public treasury.

Copyright, 1919, by The Prem Publishing Co, (The New York Byening World). A Business-Firm Personality In these columns Dr. Merton, the be glad to answer que: by helping them choo: HE most distinguishing thing Al: about many successful ‘firms is “the co-operation of all of the people in the firm, This co-operation, through careful vocational choice, has been brought to a perfection that stands out as distinctively and as com- pellingly as does the quality of their products, It is as if a master mind has designed the mutual relations and proportions of a commanding build- ing. The effect is not due to the size of the firm or of its business but to the choice and habits of thought of its members and employees, ‘We have visited firms where every one about the industry seemed to be proud of the organization, interested im every one else on the payroll and anxious to show appreciation. Such @ firm has its own personality, it has continuous force, It moves on without angularities and breakages. Mention any one from the “chief” down and imm ely one gets the answer, “He's all right.” Speak to any one in the place about his work and the response always begins with a “we;" “we do this,” “we do our work #0.” The “we” of a firm personality, It is the unison, the moving as one, the keep step habit, however large or small the individual load, It must have its source at the top of the firm, it must infiltrate to the bottom, This is highly vocational, A, vocation is not simply following a trade, not simply filling « position; it is working well in the place one intends to fill, It is supposed completely to link up one's part with what precedes and follows with other people's vocations. Follow a piece of work through a shop, noticing the many hands through which it must go as, process by process, it reaches perfection, Ite materials went through other proc- esses, its values in cost and its ac- counting go through others, In the end we find its place of use, dis- quiré a very careful |) making a noble sacrifice to teed the public.

The individual working in the firm may be one of ten or of @ thousand. He may say to himself, “What am I to this firm or this firm to me? He may look at himself as a more or less transient part of the working ma- chinery of the body, a part that can be thrown out and replaced at any moment by the will of any one of several other parts, That may be the fact, But that is only part of the fact of his vocation, only part of the fact of his salary or wages, only in the smaller way the essence of his place in the firm or in the great world of work, The realty great part of this vo- cational life of the individual is that he should consider himself a part of the personality of the “we” of the firm, then of industry, then of the greater society of- which all are a part, If he has not @ personality in his vocation, in the proudness of bis work, he cannot share that of the firm or of the industry; and, however much he may boast to himself, he is defeating himself from being anything but @ vocational fragment of society. He is avoiding the reciprocity that makes him @ harmonising force in progressive effort, He is setting him- self away from his vocational rela- tionship, from his business-firm per- sonality, AMBITIOUS—At your age (sixteen) it is well to determine your vocation for the remainder of your life. With- out more information I cannot answer your question as to mining engineering, but it seems as though you were adapted to some form of commercial life. You are too young, however, to make it advisable for you to go into business for yourself. It is better that you should work for others until you gain more experi- ence and concrete knowledge.

Mrs. Jarr was somewhat alarmed at his appearance at this unusual hour, fearing he had received, as a perma- nent vacation notice, an official com- munication that his services were no longer required at his place of em- ployment, Mr, Jarr had been saying the boss was complaining of bad business, on account of the first hot spell of summer, But Mr. Jarr eet her fears to rest by assuring her it was one of his lucky days. “Why,” he further ex- What thanks will I get for all I dd for my children and their fathert 4nd what is to become of us if be gets an unenviable notoriety in court because of his acquaintance with - Here she bore down on the com having to serve as a juryman.” Mrs, Jarr was “fixing up” little Emma te go to a children’s picnic, and in her excitement at the news she dug the comb into the tender scalp of the little girl, who wailed in pain. “You keep quiet, Emma!” ex- claimed er mother, “Your father and I can't have a moment's talk without you children interrupting.” ‘When quiet was restored Mr. Jarr repeated “Yes, I came near being taken as @ juror, but they wouldn't have me.” “Why not?” asked Mrs. Jarr, “T hope nobody has been telling people that you frequent that awful Gus's place?

Were you mixed up in a breach of promise case? Were you? I say, were you?” As she asked the question she bore down on the comb and the little girl hewled again, “Oh, do be quiet!” cried Mrs. Jarr “Oh, come now,” he replied. “Would = _y- you have preferred me to be aot cepted?” ® ! “It I hadn't preferred you to bé accepted,” remarked Mra, Jarr, ‘@ wouldn't have accepted you.
