Arbitrate the Whole Issue.

The Tribune cannot agree with Mr. Seth Low that
the present arbitration should be confined 10 the
conductors and trainmen's demands, if this means
that the railroads grievances should he taken up
subsequently. And if they are presented in good
faith. and they bear on their face the evidence of
being so presented, they would under Mr.. Low
plan. call for subsequent arbitration
Better have it all done at once. The public does
not want too many disputes and too much uncer-
tainty 1t does not want to face the doubt whether
there will be a strike or lockout again in few
weeks or a few months.
The railroads would have appeared in a better
light if they had made it known in advance that
they purposed to widen the subject Of arbitration
If they could secure the amendment of the Erdman
act Because they did not they forfeit certain de-
gree of confidence in their fair dealing. But the
public should not be made to pay the penalty for
that i'm a second period OF anxiety.
If there is merit in the railroads grievances let
them be arbltrated now. If there is none even the
trainmen and conductors certainly offer Ro Oh
lection TO their being arbitrated now.

High public Office is also not bed Of roses 10
Speaker Champ Clark. He gets the same salary as
Secretary Bryan does-S120OO year-but finds the
Chautauqua circuit just as useful and necessary an
anchor to wndward as does the owner of The
COmmoner"
The Speakers resort to the lecture platform ID
order to keep the wolf from the door is, however,
more in keeping with custom and propriety than
the Secretary of States is Senators and Represent
atives are supposed to be entirely free to attend
to their own affairs during the recesses Of Congress
The lawyers practise in the courts the farmers
look after their crops and fences and the business
men 90 back to their counting rooms. The Con-
CHEESEMAN'S salary IS annual, but it is really meant
to cover only work done in the sessions.
Mr. Clark lays down the sound rule in making
lecture engagements that they shall fall in the
recesses only. There are no recesses in admnistra-
tive work and Il Cabinet officers leave must depend
upon the conveniences Of public business he
should not stpulate for fixed periods of relief 70

that the wolf is pressing him too hard he should

duate return for his time and services.
