TRUTH, JUSTICE
“Indulging no passions which trespass on the rights or the
repose of other nations, it has been the true glory of the United
States to cultivate peace by observing justice.”
: —From the First Inaugural Address of Pregident James Madison.
There’s Glory Enough for All;
Therefore Pass it Around
HE proposal to make permanent the
» rank of general now held temporarily
by Peyton C. March, chief of staff of
the United States army, involves more than
a reward for one man.
1t involves recognition of the increased
importance which has come to attach to the
principle of staff organization in modern
warfare.
Most persons now realize that to put a
great army in the field requires organizing
practically all the forces of a nation be
hind it.
Few of these supporting activities do not
somewhere eonnect with specialized military
knowledge. The funection of the staff is to
provide that specialized knowledge and to
eo-ordinate and guide these supporting ac
tivities.
Before Major General March was made
its chief, the staff of our army had not been
adequate for a war of even moderate size.
March, in a surprisingly brief time, uni
fied it, enlarged it, made it effective. The
armistice came before his plans of staff re
eonstruction had been completed, but the
fact that it came so soon was due in no small
degree to what he had already done.
The publie saw little of this vital work.
The public’s eye was on the fighting front,
which registered without conspicuously re
vealing the infinite detail of patient pre
limiriary preparation wrought by the or
ganization over which March presided.
This staff work was heartbreaking to the
Shall the Speculators or the Public
Reap Benefits of Cheaper Haul?
LATE issue of the Eleetric Railway
A Journal contains the following inter
esting and important statement:
“Henry Ford has just placed an order for
two types of cars, a large one to be used on
steam rails and a smaller one to be used on
street car ralls.
© “They are to be propelled with a new type
of gasoline engine, which he claims can be op
m‘“ 300 z cent cheaper than electricity aas
now used passenger car operation.
“He expects to try out the larger car by
operating it between New York and Chicago,
following one of the fastest trains on the line.
“If Ford can do what he claims, it will mean
a revolution in the transportation industry, both
steam and electric.”
But the importanee of it will depend upon
whether the publie is going to own and op
erate the new system of transportation. If
the public does own and does operate this
new system of transportation thus introduced
by Mr. Ford, the public will get ALL the
benefit of the cheaper method and will en
joy a reduction in the cost of riding on street
railways and railroads and in the transpor
tation of freight, which means so much to
the cost of living.
But if our transportation systems con
tinue to be owned and operated by PRI.
VATE CAPITAL the public will get very
- little, if any, benefit from this alleged 300
- per cent reduetion in the cost of transporting
| poo% and goods,
| y! Do we need to explain why? Ev
~ ery one has seen the prints of the first rail
. road train—a little donkey engine with a
- couple of cars for the train, burning wood
' and looking very silly. Compare that first
train with the mighty engines today travel
| ing sixty miles an hour and drawing ten to
. twenty heavy passenger cars and fifty great
- freight cars.
f In the last fifty years there have been a
: thousand improvements reducing the cost of
. transpsrtation. The railroad engines can
~ haul three times more today than they could
. haul thirty years ago. The invention of the
'~ air brake and other safety appliances which
_ the law and labor unions forced upon the
~ railrpads has greatly reduced the number of
~men necessary to attend the freight trains.
! Compare the old horse car with the mod
. ern eleetric car carrying five times as many
| peogle five times as fast.
: here have been scores and scores of in
' ventions making it cheaper to operate the
* railroad and street railway, but do they
' charge less than they did before for their
¢ gervice! Can you ride for lesst Can you
E ship goods for less! Do you pay less for
~ your butter and clothing and meat, and for
- your milk and for everything that you wear
| —if it goes over the railroads, and it nearly
.~ all does, for no matter where you buy your
. goods, mearly everything that you buy is
| hfl&t to you over the railroads and you
* pay the freight charged for it.
. Now, how do these companies manage to
E their charges and at the same time
-en the benefit of all these inventions?
It would take longer to explain it than we
' have space in this column. «It is done by

soldiers who were under orders to do it.,
They wanted field commands and the excite
ment and applause which went with them.
Instead they had to burn midnight oil in
exhaustive devotion to tasks of preparation,
foregoing dreams of glory, and, indeed, re
ceiving much eruel derision from persons
who erroneously viewed them merely as
‘‘gwivel-chair soldiers’’ and ‘‘chair-warm

It is not a detraction of Pershing or the
other of our fine fighting generals, it is the
simple truth to say that the front could not
have won without the staff’s support. I'ront
and staff are complementary.
In his half of the great undertaking Per
shing functioned capably and with a splen
did poise. Because his half was 3,000 miles
from homg, and nearest the enemy, the coun
try approves the suggestion of the President
that Pershing be given precedence in honors.
The country will err if it shall fail prop
erly to appreciate and reward the men in the
army who stayed home to do the things
that made possible Pershing’s successful
work abroad.
Personally, March did a work that sol
diers in a position to judge testify was mas
terly.
But the issue which the Congress faces
with respect to him is larger than a personal
issue. N
" It' involves whether those who did the
hard home work of war making shall be dis
eriminated against in the official allotments
of recognition.
that would put an ordinary ¢itizen in jail.
Our railroads are our national highways,
and their control belongs to the people as
truly as the bridges across the Kast River,
They link communities as much as these
bridges link the two separate parts of New
York City. g
The speculators sneer and oppose public
ownership. But when the publie understands
the importance of public ownership and op
eration of the railroads the speculators in
railroads will be outlawed as completely as
speculators in publie water companies or
public hospitals.
POSTAL EMPLOYEES
DESERVE AN INCREASE
HE National Association of Supervisory
T Postoffice Employees, which has just
closed its annual convention at Atlan
tie City, adopted resolutions asking for in
erease in their wage scale of from 25 to 50
per cent.
The plan is to have these increases based
upon the receipts of the offices in which they
are employed. ’
The annual convention of postoffice
elerks, which will be held next week, is ex
pected to pass similar resolutions,
A bill has been introduced in the lower
branch of Congress directing the postmaster
general to pay letter earriers, postal elerks
and other employees in the postal service an
increase, effective from July 1 of this year,
and favorable action by the Committee on
Postoffices has been assured.
These movements toward a decent wage
for one of the most useful and faithful classes
of government employees should receive the
support of the publie.
At their present scale the postal clerks and
letter carriers are among the most poorly
paid of American workingmen.
| The highest paid mail sorter gets only
~ $1,500, and the great majority of postal em
~ ployees get little above SI,OOO.
| When this wage is compared with what
is paid purely unskilled labor, or workmen
upon whom little or no responsibility is
placed, it will be promptly recognized that
the postal employees are malling no unjust
demands.
Even a 50 per cent increase on present
wages would hardly bring these men up to
the standard of other workmen when it is
considered that they never get payment for
overtime or for work on Sundays and holi
days.
The government should be as liberal as
other employers, if indeed it ought not to be
more generous. .
Uncle Sam is a reasonably hard taskmas
ter. His employees have frequent changes
of bosses and accompanying uncertainty in
class of service even when civil service rules
protect them from complete discharge.
It is certain that there will be some sort
of readjustment of postal pay rolls.
The chapge in the upward direction
should be coupled with appreciation and
generosity.

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE.
WHEN YOU COME BACK
As soon as the trouble started,
The Boss sends around for me.
"We'vela gotta fight for the cause o’ right,
An’ our country’s flag,”’ says he. 3
**Our shores must not be threatened ,
By the fleet of a dastard foe,
The thing to do for a lad like you
Is to shoulder a gun an’ go.”’
“Your job is waitin’ for youn,”
He tells me, the day lyblew,
‘“*An’ I'll say besides, that I'm filled with pride
At knowin’ a lad like you.”’
An’ he gave me a new trench mirror .
An’ a basket of other trugg
; An’ he slapped my back a soundin’ whack {
An’ wished me a lot o’ luck,
I left a thumb at Soissons, A
When fightin’ beside the French,
1 was nicked again beyond Varennes
Defendin’ a muddy trench.
I went through the Argonne forest
An’ then, when we'd won the war,
And back we came, an’ I quit the game,
1 wanted my job once more,
The Boss was glad, he told me,
To find that I wasn’t killed. :
An’ he says, ‘‘Too bad that the place you had
‘When you left last year, is filled.”’
No job, an' no chance to get one,
An’ if that is a man’s deserts
For goin’ across, I'll be like my Boss
Next war—and give till it hurts!

DEAR MR. K. C. B.—As I sat on_my porch and read your “gossip”
in today's paper I was reminded ever so clearly of the minister's little
girl, Della Miller, who was an invalid. : ’
All day long she sat in her wheel chair, and I would go over to see
her and take the paper with me and read your column to her. She, as
well as other little ones who were always gathered around her chair,
grew to know-you and like you very much. And I want you to know
that when I failed to appear she missed it so.
I often wonder if the people in large cities where there is so much
doing enjoy your writings as we & in small towns.
Little Della passed away one year ago, and I can't help thinking of
her as I read your column today. Very sincerely yours,
CATHERINE V. RACKETT.

Two Wonderful Dogs.
Why We Dance.
y Arthur Brisban
! HE British Fortnightly classes
I Japan and America, with Ger
many a weaker third, as a
menace to British industries and
trade. The ‘“extraordinary effi
ciency of highly paid American
Jabor” and the ‘“rapidly-growing
ability of low-wage Japanese labor”
worry the British writer,
The nations, having stopped kill
ing one another, now begin a war
of labor competition. American em
ployers and capitalists should re
member that labor must be well
paid and contented. And labor
must remember that “extraordinary
efficiency” and the highest possible
production are demanded for the
sa.ke_ of the country as a whole,
and for the sake of the workers
especially, :
. Every mechanic has heard his
labor leader say ' “labor produces
everything.” It does not, far from
it. The brain that invented the
sewing machine produced more
sewing in a few hours than & hun
dred million seamstresses with
needles only could produce in cen
turies. .
But this IS sure: Labor produces
all that labor GETS. And labor
will have to produce more than
ever or go without. One worker,
on the average, exchanges his day's
work for another man's day’'s work
—minus the middleman’s and em
ployer’s profit. A worker gets paid
with another’s work for one day's
work of his own. Small day,
small pay.
Sir John Sebright and Lord
Erskine possessed dogs of extraor
dinary intelligence. Each bet the
other that his dog within twelve
months would learn a trick more
wonderful than any trick learned
by the other dog.
Lord Erskine’s dog took a roast
oyster out of the fire without burn
ing itself. Sir John's dog carried
a glass of wine, without spilling a
drop, to any gentleman indicated.
The London Chronicle republishes
this story. :
Rich men have trained hawks
and hounds to fly and run, horses
to jump, elephants to kill crimi
nals, L
Curiously enough, théy have
never interested themselves much
in the training of tbr most intelli
:ent of all animals, the nul;s
uman child, Consider what Lo
Erskine and Sir John might have
done had they picked out two
children as carefully as they se
lected the two dogs-to give them
as careful training. \
In Berlin the poor that have no
homes will be sent to live in unoc
cupied rooms in big houses of rich
people that have small families.
That is one recent proposal for
solving Germany’s problem. They
are building a million houses for
returned soldiers also, at Govern
ment expense,
in the American cities, magnifi
cent houses are empty all sum
mer, not far from great American
slums where children crawl around
in dirty gutters,
It will not be suggested seriously
in this country that the miserable
poor be allowed to live in the
houses that are empty. And that
would not be the way to solve the
problem. It must be solved by
lifting up, not pulling down.
But if such a plan were seriously
suggested, with power behind the
suggestion to carry it out, how
quickly the prosperous would find
the right way to solve the housing
problem. How quickly they would
tear down the slums, rebuild them
properly; how quickly suburban
villages would rise with adequate
transportation facilities to take
care of the women and children
that need room to live.
The united dancing masters have
decided that Government should
regulate all dancing steps. That
particular kind of social esthetic
movement called “shaking the
shimmie” is compared by the
dance professors to brandy among
drinks, cocaine among remedies.
Dancing, especially violent dan
cing, has enabled human. beings for
more than a hundred thousand
years to express emotion that they
could not express in any other way,
The orang-outang howls and
stamps when moved,
The Indian with his snake dance
says things that he could not say
in the Indian language.
The lady that invented the re
ligion of the BShakera was filled
with religious passion that she
could express only by jumping and
shaking until she fell exhausted.
Thousands joined her because her
way suited them. They wanted to
prove religious fervor. “Shaking”
proved |t
Motion and rhythm combined ex
press the feelings of primitive hu
man beings that have not yet
learned to say what they really
feel in words. You have seen a
baby too young to talk shake and
tremble with emotion. That s |
dancing. |
It must be remembered that the
human race needs to let off steam.
It is better to have it dancing
“the shimmie” than sulking, with
its feelings bottled up. The things
that human beings do in expressing
their emotions publicly without re«
straint are usually less harmful
than the things to which they may
be driven in secret,
