FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1919 An Issue For 1920 Less conspicuous even than possible candidates for the presidency in 1920 | 'are issues upon which a fight could be | staged and won. The present rate of progress in the matter of the treaty of peace and the league of nations suggests that that may be kept green for a sufficient period to serve as an issue, but it is scarcely likely that public opinion in the United States will permit such a course. Our own future, as that of our allies, depends upon the action taken by the United States congress in the matter of rati- fication and something must be done, loath as are the legislators to com- mit themselves to any definite action. But an issue for the 1920 campaign has actually been handed to the Re- publican party, an issue that can be kept alive by judicious treatment for the year that must pass before it can be made useful as a popular slogan. By their demands for gov- ernment ownership the railway brotherhoods have pgesented this gift to the Republican party. In the conference that is now go- ing on and in the discussion that will take place inCongresswhen the presi- dent makes his recommendation to the legislators, the demand of the railroad union that the railroads be taken over permanently by the gov- ernment will be thoroughly consider- ed, with what result we are yet to see. It is more than possible that the administration has not arrived at the point of seeing failure in the attempts of the government to operate the transportation systems and will recommend acquiescence in the de- mands of the railroad employes. It would be in accord with the policy that was adopted with the Adamson bill, the policy of permitting the in- terests of the public to come second- ary to the interests of the railroad employes. * In the adoption of the slogan, "Take the railroads out of politics," the Republican party will have an issue that will appeal to the majority of people in the United States.'We | have tried government ownership in | the post office in normal times and | we know that such things as econo- | my and efficiency have no part in the | management of postal affairs.

We have tried government opera- tion of the transportation systems during the period of the war.and we have seen service reduced, rates ad- vanced, responsibility of those who are employed to perform the work 'of the offices resting lightly upon them. We have been patient during, the period of the war. But we are | growing weary of the situation and | ready to stand behind a movement | to restore the railroads to their former condition of efficiency and to insist upon the right of the majority of the people of the Uniter States to decide questions that concern the public comfort and welfare. The Remedy Conditions following the war in the several countries are different, of course, but there are certain points that they all hold in common. Ev- erywhere there is industrial unrest and constant complaint about the! | necessarily one and the same thing, {== In France they are attacking the high cost of the necessaries of life. These are the things to be expected, for they come out of human nature, and human nature is the same the world over. There is a great difference in the way that the different countries are going about the solution of the prob- lem. Everybody in America knows the round-about route by which we are approaching the adjustment of living conditions. Everybody knows how much there is of talk and how little there is of performance, for it is the American way, the plan that operates in every department of our life. People seem to think that in- vestigation and prosecution are that discovery of illegal activities in one quarter will mean an easing up of evil conditions in all quarters. And so it seems that it should, had we not past experiences to counsel a not too implicit faith in what is being done | here. living problem by sticking on the job, a course designed to go so straight to the heart of the trouble that one wonders it was ever thought of as a remedy. Apparently France, in her distress, has eliminated the Circumlo- cution office from her departments of government. In England conditions are much as they are here, strikes' and lockouts, interruption of production and all the conditions that serve to increase the very evils against which they are aimed. England has, however, gone one step beyond the United States in the appointment of a Food Con- troller, through whom some measure of equality of distribution of food is maintained. But the remedy for the conditions do not lie ip that quarter, except for the moment. This the Controller himself sees. The cure, according to his judgment, and he knows the facts as nearly as they can be known, lies in speeding up pro- duction. "We can never get back to normal," he says, "until everybody goes to work producing the materials that are so needed. The old law of supply and demand is operative today as always. We must increase the supply of food materials, of manu- factured articles, of all the things that-the nation-demands for normal, peace time life." And this is pretty near the truth for every people now struggling with food problems and the excessive cost of living. Why Go To College? The interesting contrast between the income of the college professor and the street railway motorman which has been drawn in a cartoon in the Yale Review has been making the rounds of the press. It is just the kind of contrast that pleases the pub- lic mind. Query is at once raised, "Why go to college?" If a man can earn more operating the motor of a street car than in directing the trend of thought for the rising generation, why not take the easy way and spend one's life at the task that makes no de- mand upon the intellect, doing work that is limited in its hours, that im- plies no responsibility to maintain a PAINTS Of all kinds in large and small cans WALL PAPERS, PAINTING & DECORATING Floor Finishing a Specialty RASMESEN'S PAINT STORE!
