A Desperate Break for Liberty.

a visitor, who was formerly member
of Congress and a judge. No more des-

with which they were enabled to fight

The Railroad Strike Settled.

The Delaware and Hudson strike was
quickly settled. through federal inter-
vention But it should never have been
started. 1t should have been prevented
by the application of the common-sense
method of arbitration which was SO
soon adopted when the road, the opera
tives and the public were faced with q
heavy loss. The day and more of inter-
ruption of traffic could easily have been
avoided if both sides had recognized that
rising far above their personal and cor
porate interests. If the potential antag-
onists in industrial matters will not
recognize such obligations. there should
be means to compel them to do so to
prevent even the comparatively brief sus-
pensions which bring their results OF loss
and anxiety and distress. This settle
ment consists in the surrender of the
company, which agrees to reinstate the
men who were discharged. Naturally
the operatives are elated at this victory,
won SO quickly. But it entails responsi-
bility upon them as well as upon the cor
poration They have in 4 measure as
surned accountability for the discipline
of the operative force of the road, and
the public will look to them as well as to
the managers of the line. The actual
question at stake in this case was not of
great Importance. but the principle in
volved was a serious one. and the people
will watch with some anxiety to note the
effect of the success of the men in fore
Ing the restoration to duty of employees
whose superiors have declared to be un-

The Sullivan Hearing.

While it may be always assumed that
the Commissioners tas they state in their
announcement issued yesterday that
public hearing will be held tomorrow re-
gard.ng the circumstances of Deputy
Chief Sullivan's connection with the Gth
street fire of the night of December 1924
will in all administrative inquiries and
decisions .act within the law, with no
other purpose than to arrive at just con-
clusions and to obtain just results, cir
cumstances in this case unquestioHably
warranted. indeed demanded, an open
public examination. After the fire. at
which five men were caught through a
falling of the floors. the question of the
responsibility for their peril was raised,
not formally in the way Of accusation. but
in the course of the administration of the
fire department, and an investigation was
held privately. with no charges formu-
lated and no confronting of witnesses,
at the end of which the decision was
reached. it is now stated, by the full
board, that Deputy Chief Sullivan should
retire from active service and a pro-
posal was made to him to that effect.
When this became public the conclusion
was inevitable that he had been found
guilty of bad judgment and bad man
agement in the handling of the fire,
conclusion which was Immediately re-
sented by his friends. The situation i'm
peratively calls for such an open hearing
as the Commissioners inferentially. in
their statement, declare to be undesirable
in such cases. The Star demurs to the
proposition that Investigations of this
kind involving the conduct of municipal
employees in the performance of their
duties, should, as rule, be conducted
privately. Privacy breeds suspicion. not
merely of wrongdoing on the part OF
the Individual, but even at times Of in-
suffieiency of the judicial process. There
should be no secret Investigations at the
District building in cases where the
status of officials, their standing as re-
sponsible agents of the District govern
ment or as citizens may be involved.
The opening of the Sullivan case to pub
lie investigation will lead to decision
which in any case will have the merit OF
being founded on facts openly and freely
set forth.

The Message.

The Presidents message is in the Key
OF high confidence. 1t is not a call 10
arms He assumes that the fight has
been won. AS he sees the situation. big
business has surrendered. 1t is no long
or arrogant and belligerent. but con-
WINGED of the error of its ways. and de-
sirous of conforming to an ascertained
public sentiment.
Mr. Wilson welcomes this and asks
Congress to act in the spirit of it, He
thinks every necessary remedy can be
devised and applied with the assistance
of those whose performances created and
made necessary the war on the trusts
He wants nothing done in the nature of
hostility to business or in revenge for
past misconduct but everything done to
encourage business along new lines of
reform for the public welfare.
There are no specifications which did
not appear in the forecast of the mes
sagc Interlocking directorates are con-
dcmued. Guilt should be made personal
IN interstate trade commission with
limited powers is favored.
For the carrying out of the Presidents
wishes bills are to be introduced in Com
cress, and presumably they will have
tacitly if not directly his Endorsement
Until then the country must wait for
fuller knowledge of the program
Mr. Wilson's appraisement of the situ-
alton is likely to be questioned. Big
business-or the trust power if you will
has not confessed the offenses charged
against it, 1t has not thrown itself on
the mercy of the court. and is not asking
for suspension of sentence on a promise
of better conduct in future and Of revefa-
tons helpful in the framing of new laws.
But it is clearly the duty of big busi-
ness and of little business to come for
ward in response to what is cordial in
vitation, and help Congress in work that
will soon be in hand. and be the better
performed with their assistance. seme-
thing in going to be done. Mr.. Wilson
finds his mandate in the Baltimore plat
form, and both he and Congress are in
office as the result of that deliverance.
The extent to which the message will
assure business and assist in the revival
of confidence is question. That'i it has
that object is certain, and certainly busi-
ness needs assurance. But not until the
regional lines have been run, the regional
cities named, and the federal reserve
board selected under the new currency
law can capital be expected to decide Its
future course. There is no evidence OF
a hoId-up fer political purposes, but only
such caution as capital always exhibits
when the going is doubtful. Clear the
way. and capital will soon be in motion
again.

The Next House.

Mr.. Palmer of Pennsylvania. 1T is an

next House. His name has been men

Mr. Underwood is to retire as a repre-
sentative. His prospects for reaching
the Senate are at present good, but
whether he reaches it or not he will be
out of the picture in the ninth Alabama
district.

Congressman in a Hurry.

From the Fhi1adelphia 1DQuirer.
Just why congressman are in a hurry
to get through business and adjourn is
explained by the new primary laws which
exist in most of the states. According
to the new dispensation it is the early
bird which catches the worm at the pri-
maries. They are now held early in the
year instead ef in the late summer or
early fall as formerly, and conditions
are such that it behooves every candi-
date to get busy at the earliest moment
possible. 1t has always been fault
of our system that the new congressman
has been obliged to hustle for reelection
before he has become warm in his seat.
Ordinarily he has not taken his seat un-
til thirteen months after election. This
year the situation is a little worse. for
he has been in constant attendance at
Washington for nearly year, and now
just as the heavy routine work begins.
when it is possible for the first time
for him to secure some desired legisla-
ton for his district, announcements are
out for the primaries.

men in the right places. Undoubtedly
he would have named Mr.. underwood
for leader.
As matter OF fact. both Speaker
Clark and Leader Underwood are them
selves fruits OF the old republican method.
Speaker Cannon saw their worth and
capacities. and advanced them accord
ingly. He made Mr.. Clark leader Of the
minority and Mr.. Underwood his hrst
lieutenant; and he never exhibited bet
ter judgment in his life. Both made
good in those places: and the services
they then performed secured them the
recognition accorded them when their
party came in.
But in the event Of another democratic

a committee on committees. Mr.. Clark,

Advice.

Oh, gentle youth. with lofty brow and
soul attuned to art.
Draw near and heed the words that ID
servation would impart.
Pursue a patient. studious course and
burn the midnight oil
And let no thought of pleasure interrupt
your eager toll.
Let not your courage fail. though world
~ favor should be SLOW
Maintain an air of solemn thought
wherever you may go.
And-this is most important-if you would
not get in wrong,
Be sure to wear high-crowned hat and
let your hair grow long.
You must give close attention to the pose
that fits your needs.
A serious one is easy and 1t frequently
succeeds.
Deep interest is invited by melancholy
air
And hypnotic force attaches to fixed
and vacant stare.
But, whether your pursuit of art employs
brush or pen
Or a rafting old typewriter in dim ane
dusty den,
Or an orchestra's assistance in the mys'
teries of song,
Remember! Wear a high-crowned hal
and let your hair grow long!
