AN UNFAIR DEAL.

II begins to look as if the interstate
commerce commission would soon take
I'D the question of allowing an increase
of freight rates in eastern territory.
No other form of big business is so
badly handicapped as is that Of the
railroads" When other corporations
have been forced to readjust their
methods of doing business, they have
made good any pecuniary loss they may
have incurred, thereby by advancing
the cost of their product to the con-
sumner.
To the railroads this has been de-
MED. Certainly the complaints of the
railroads deserve the commissions at
tention. For the last four or FIVE years
the carriers have been in the unenW-
able position of being forced to IN
crease their expenses, says the New
York Tribune, without being allowed
to enlarge their income. The cost Oh
everything which they have to pur-
chase-eouipment, supplies and labor
has been going up, blu they have been
restrained by the government from
increasing the price of transportation
the only thing which they have to
sell.
Federal control has been for them
an absolutely one-sided bargain. Con-
gress has passed a law, which public
opinion strongly supports, providing
for the arbitration of wage disputes
between the carriers and their en-
rloyees. The railroads have gone into
many such arbitrations, and the result
of each one has been to give the en-
pIoyees a substantial increase in wages.
More arbitrations are in sight, and
the railroads are virtually asked by the
government and the public to go on
increasing their expenses of operation
while they are debarred by federal
authority from seeking the higher re-
turns for service needed to meet the
added cost.
That attitude toward the carriers is
grossly unjust. 1t is the duty of the
interstate commerce commission to see
that the railroads are allowed to earn
enough to offset the new burdens con-
stantly put upon them as agencies re-
sponsive to governmental supervision.
Under the present scheme of regulation
the balance has been running steadily
and strongly against them. In the in
terest of fair play it ought to be re-
dressed.

THE FIRST TRYsT,

Within the whispering shadows of the
night,
Where the gray dunes show wan against
the sky,
And the long roller eurls its yellow foam
Above half-strangled sands, he stands at
gaze
His heart is sick with doubt, and painfully
His ear is bent to catch the hushed
sweet noise
OF light feet Fastening toward him. Sud
den fears
Clutch at his, throat while fancy. chilled
and weak,
Plaques him with nameless pangs. There
in the dark.
One big star burns like an unwinking eye,
Mocking his vigil. Somewhere, far away,
A dog bays maddeningly. and all his soul
Hangs the torture of that instant
when
From the dim tower the bells first note
shall boom
Its brazen signal. Hollow winds arise
Mingled of flame and frost; hope flickers
low,
AS falls the breathless moment; till at
last
The long-awaited stroke which, ere it dies,
Shudders into a little sound of joy.
Then outstretched hands that glimmer
through the dusk,
Pale robes that flutter near, a happy
cry
Quenched in a tremulous sob-and all is
well!

ENTITLED TO 1T.

1t is claimed now that woman suf-
frage will be the cause of Iessening
crime. 1t is now, and has been claim
ed that woman suffrage would cleanse
politics. No state in the Union has
more corrupt politics than Colorado,
where the women have been voting for
some years. The promised good does
not result from woman suffrage.
There was never any reaR reason for
supposing it would change the nature
OF the human race.
Another thing that was confidently
claimed for it was that when women
voted we should have a full expression
OF the will of the people whenever we
had an election. At the late school
bond election in Lawrence, less votes
were cast than ever before on q pro-
position so important. The fact is,
that granting the women the right to
vote will not bring the millennium, mol.
yet will it change anything materially.
The real and only sound reason for
giving women the right to vote is
that they are entitled to vote If they
want to. and man has no right. except
possibly very limsy legal right to
prevent them from exercising that
privilege and duty.-Lawrence Gazette.
THE LOBBY.
The chief thing wrong with a lob
by, either in a city, state capital or
pO1OAS COhSIS5S, Is the secrecy OF IL.
So long as a lobbyist is frankly a lob
byist he dies no harm. Every man
who has business before a legislative
body or a public executive has a right
to go to his business, provided he
goes open and above board. There
can be no more objection to the sugar
planters sending a lobby to work for
free sugar in Washington, than there
Is to President Wilson working
against free sugar, provided each
works openly and without trying 10
conceal his purpose. OF course Pres
ident Wilson is lobbying for the tar
iff bill. But he is making no bone of
it. He is working in the OPEN
1t looks as though it will be a pref
ty poor patchwork of a bill. But ii
will be the kind of a bill the president
wants 1t will be his responsibility.
1t may be a poor bill, but the people
cannot help but admire the frank, eff
fective way President Wilson had
worked for it. If he has lobbied for
the bill, he has not been ashamed of
his work. That is all he should ask
of the other lobbyists.-Emporia Ga
zette.

A NEGLECTED DUTY.

Probably the time is not far dis
tant when every state will pro-
vide, properly, for the care and up
bringing of not only homeless chill
dren but those whose homes are
such only in name. When the pub
lie comes to realize that such plan
is not only better but cheaper than
maintaining prisons and reforma-
tories it will not long defer action.
Transplanting homeless boys of IL
to 16 years of age from the crowded
districts of the metropolis to the
farms of rural New York is the task
attempted by the Lincoln Agricultural
school of Lincolndale, N. Y, accord
ing to information received at the
United States bureau of education.
This school, which is a charitable
institution, takes boys fresh from the
city streets. gives them practical
training in agriculture, teaches them
proper living conditions and then
finds places for them with families or
farmers, thus helping the boys to bet
ter citizenship and giving the state
more and better farmers.
Lincoln school is made as different
as possible from the traditional in
stitution." Groups of attractive cot
tages replace the old-time single,
huge structure of the cities; instead
of the big common dining hall usual
in charitable institutions, a number
of small dining rooms are provided;
and each group of boys has sep
arate sleeping apartment. Every eff
fort is made to produce real home
environment, where the child may de-
velop under conditions as nearly as
possible like those of a normal home.
The school has a farm of 500 acres,
with model dairy buildings and herd
of about $50 cattle. The boys are
taught to produce absolutely clean
milk and to grow fruit and vegetables
bv the most modern methods
Home and social training is empha-
sized in the Lincoln school. Not only
are the boys trained to be good farm
ers but they are fitted for entrance to
the better class of rural homes.
Here we find charitably inclined
persons performing a work which
properly belongs to the state. An
ounce of preventive is worth a pound
of cure is just as true in sociology as
If is in medicine.

FROM OTHER PENS
JAPANESE STRATEGY


The japanese argument against the
menace of a yellow peril is one of the
cleverest things of recent publication.
Lord Percy, writing for the National
Review in England, against the VOL
untary system of enlistment, shows at
great length that the British empire
has been built up by landgra bling, by
breaking faith with continental pow
ers, by merely seizing outlying prov
inces in all parts of the world when
the owners of them were busy fight
ing for their lives to save the princi-
pies of order and security that DOM
mate modern society
Without taking Lord Percy for a
text, a Japanese writer of note has
followed in the same vein and shows
that while the yellow races have been
content within their own borders
Japan merely travelling at the worst
into Korea, the white races within the
last few years have seized and re-
duced to their own possession and con-
troll more than eleven million square
miles of territory which at the time of
seizure belonged to their race.
In fact, the point is driven home
with tremendous power that the men,
ace of the world is of the white race
to the yellow and not of the yellow
to the white. and when one considers
how the great powers have gone at
land grabbing within the last twenty
or twenty-five years, there is hardly
anything to be said that would refute
the argument of the Japanese writer.
The rapid development of the ideas
and practices of civilization in japan
and in China, too, dwelt upon by
the writer. but the strategy of his ar
rests in his very powerful ar
raignment of the land grabbing ma
