THE Postmaster General has made very
clear statement of the case of the Govern
r1ent against the railway companies in the
postal car dispute. He has caused table to
be made by which the charges of the COM
panies for first and second class freights are
compared with the allowance for mail car
riase under the new law. In the three rail-
roads given as examples, it is shown that the
companies will be paid for the mail service
SAIL, 1913 for space and a service which be-
ing devoted to freight carriage would yield
only s221, 29O.4S, but for such they low de-
mand 1926, 38S.4S. From this it appears that
the offer of the Government is sufficiently lib
eral and that the companies have no cause for
complaint. Public opinion VIII not permit
the authorities to submit to the demands so
unreasonable and even outrageous as the rail-
roads make. If the corporations insist, this
Is fair and broad field upon which to test
the question, whether the people have been
created for the use of the railroads or the
railroads for the people.

An Eve for an Eve.

The advocates of hanging are still exercis-
ing themselves over the question of capital
punishment as Illustrated by the case of the
Modocs. They fail to see any difference in
the style Of treatment which is essential in
case ofthe Indians and that which should be
given murderer within the borders of civ
nization. The difficulty with these people
lies in their conception OF the proper motive
and purpose of punishment. Upon their
theory that punishment Is for the purpose of
revenge upon the criminal-that it should be
essentially vindictive in its very nature, their
conclusion that the cold blooded civilized
murderer deserves as much punishment as
the exasperated untaught Modoc is legiti-
mate
Should they, however, once comprehend
the idea that punishment is inflicted for the
protection and advantage Of socety-fcr the
good of the whole and not as the prosecu-
lion ola sort of vendetta upon the individual
offender, they would find their conclusion
vanish like the baseless fabric of dream.
The Modoc, must be pursued and the lead
