UNEMPLOYED MEN A
BUSINESS DRAG.

A great railroad system cannot
stop or slice dividends without some
effect upon the public. 1t cannot
cut thousands of men from its pay
rolls without very heavy effect
upon the whole public. The buying
power which is destroyed in those
market centers where those dis
charged wage-earners have been liv-
ing and supporting their families is,
as every thoughtful man knows, a
buying power also destroyed at the
same time in many, many other
places that never saw and never
heard of those discharged wage
earners.
If so magnifcently constructed and
superbly managed property as the
great Pennsylvania railroad system
must, on its lines east of Pittsburgh
and Eric, reduce its number of em-
ployes from $4,000 to $4,000, and
if it must still go on reducing until
it shall reach the still lower level of
117,000, there must be worse tales to
tell on other railroads.
If railroads aren't making enough
money to retain the services Of their
men ard to continue the high wage
payments they have been making; if
factories can't sell their products to
advantage, and so don't keep labor
to turn out those products; if mer-
chants can't turn over normal sup
plies at normal profits, there's some-
thing wrong.
1t is useless TO try to disguise the
truth that something is wrong.
Everybody knows something is
wrong, so nobody can be fooled about
it simply by refusing to discuss it.
But all are not yet agreed as to the
cause. One very big clement says
it's the tariff, which has taken the
punch out of American industries,
and this has been striking American
wage-earners OF the payrol!s of mills
and factories.
We don't think there's any doubt
about this to an extent; the only
question in our mind is whether, af-
ter a general readjustment to the
new. conditions, the industry and
commerce of the country can come
lack. That hasn't been proved yet.
AS soon as it is proved-if it is to
turn out so-that the country can
not come back under this tariff the
economic measure which the party
in power has given us must as surely
be rejected by the American voters
of today as eighteen years ago they
rejected the last previous tariff we
had from the Democratic party.

THE LIBERALS NEW ISSUE

The British liberal party is emerg-
ing from the army crisis with the
assurance that it will enter the next
contest for control of the country
with new issue exactly fashioned
to its purposes. Shall the country be
ruled, in the last analysis, by its
electorate, or By an army controlled
by the aristocracy?
Britain would be only a few laps
ahead of Russia if the tories were to
be permitted to control the army,
and appeal to it when everything
else had failed them. For genera
tions, there was no need to draw the
military forces into such situations,
because the house of lords was the
sure bulwark Of privilege. It could
negative home rule or electoral re-
form when toryism required. But
with the budget crisis and the adop-
tion of the measure under which the
veto of the lords may be overridden,
q new appeal is made necessary in
the behalf Of toryism; and that ap-
peal, the country discovers. is to the
army itself! Greater audacity could
hardly be imagined than this pro-
posal to undo all the parliamentary
progress of the centuries and return
to a condition in which the man on
horseback should WELD the authority
just wrested from. the chamber of
peers.
This is the new issue that has been
fashioned for the use of the liberals
in the oncoming campaign. 1t guar
antees, under the excellent political
generalship of Mr.. Asquith, that the
labor party people will stand by the
liberals. and that there will re no
foolish divisions of force, permitting
the conservatives to elect members
to the next parliament by pluralities.
Already the tories realize their mis-
take, and the realization is likely to
be responsible for a sudden softening
Of their determination to kill home
rule at all hazards. The liberals
have won before the country, and, in
stead of wrecking the Asquith min
istry, the militarism coup has vastly
strengthened it.
The Washington times., 1914-03-28

That is, the city's death rate was
decidedly higher at the beginning of
the period under consideration than
the country rate. The city's rate has
been steadily falling. in period in
which population and congestion
have been just as steadily increasing.
The country's death rate has been
increasing, though on the whole so
slightly that it MAJ be regarded as
having remained stationary. Why
should the rate decidedly fall, as to
the great city, while it remains sta
tionary or increases in the rest of
the State?
1t must he borne in mind that out
side the metropolis very large part
Of New York's population is urban;
and it is gathered in large cities, too.
If it be fact that there has been a
decrease in these other cities, some
what corresponding to that in New
York city, then it is apparent that
there must have been, to offset this,
decided rise in the rate in the open
country and small towns.
1t is not improbable that this is
the fact. The cities which are large
enough to have proper health or
ganizations. good water, proper sew
erage. highly organized facilities for
maintaining clean streets, removing
garbage, and the like, have made
vast strides toward driving out the
diseases Of filth. Typhoid, for in
stance, has been driven to the coun-
try. The campaigns in cities against
the fly and the rat have had very
definite results.
Going to the country because it is
healthier is played out. We 60 to

fore the country than this of rural

TRUST BUSTING SCORED
BY DIR. VAN HISE.

DR.. Charles r. Van Hise, presi-
dent of the University of Wisconsin
and one of the country's leading
authorities on economic subjects,
renewed in st. Paul the other night
his opposition to the policy of "trust
busting" as remedy for modern
social and Industrial evils. That
policy, he said, resulted in an en-
forced competition wholly opposed
to the conservation of natural re-
sources and in other consequences
profoundly immoral"
the trust dissolution program of
the Federal Government, DIR. Van
Hise asserted, is raising and not
lowering the prices Of oil, beef, to-
bacco, and other commodities af-
fected. The Sherman law, useful
once as club over the head of un-
restrained and msoient monopoly,
has outlived, he said, its period of
public benefit and should be re-
peaied or radically amended.
Endorsement was given by the
speaker to the bill cf Chairman Clay
Con. of the House Judiciary Commit
N, for the creation of an interstate
Stade commission, with authority
otsr great corporations largely iden-
Teal with that the Interstate Com
merce Commission wields over the
railroads.
Sentiments such as these, proceed
ing from the head of a great popular
educational institution, an institution
which is said to fulfill the ideal of
"servicc" better than any other in
the world, are entitled to most care
full consideration. DIR. Van Hise
is not a reactionary; he is regarded
generally as either an intellectual
radical or a radical intellectual. He
