IN The matter Of suppressing SUI
zer they might have learned some
hing TO their advantage by dropping

notoriously as Sulzer does, and who
has his genius for doing it in his
SPECTACULAR way, is hard to lose. He

Who defied tho Hall in the great

Maybe he didn't wabble right from
good motives; at least he wab5led
right; and the man who goes right is
rather more entitled to be suspect

PRACTICAL TEMPERANCE
WORK.

The Pittsburgh and Lake Erie rail
YoGd dismissed 126 employees in Il
single batch, for drinking. Engi-
neers, firemen, conductors, in fact,
men in about all departments OF the
service, had to go.
Several weeks ago the company Is
sued notice that drinking men were

drinking must end. It is said that q
total of 500 are to be dismissed.
1t will not require many applica-
tions of such discipline as this to
get results. It is hard on the unfor-
tunates dismissed, but it is the way
to protect the public.
Increasing indisposition Of en-
ployers to retain services of drinking
men is based on realization of their
less reliability and efficiency. That
is the whole story. Big employers
have taken a position that is greatly
discouraging intemperance; and or
ganizations Of labor have been exert
ing their influence more and more in
the same direction. It is the most
practical kind of work for temper

THE COMING TRUST MESSAGE

1t is good guess that the Presi-
dents trust message, which the conn
try is so eagerly expecting. will be
couched in general terms. The Value
of such a method OF treatment lies
in the fact that it leaves the public
eXpectant of the best. The disad-
vantage of it is that it puts the real
work of Interpretation of his ideas
upon Congress, and nobody can tell,
though many may doubt the probable
wisdom of what Congress is apt TO
do.
The New York Evening Post pub
lished dispatch from its Washing
ton correspondent, in the mater of
the message, Friday, which seems
very authoritative and yet leaves the
critical reader entirely up in the air
as TO what the Administration pro-
gram is to become when reduced
from generalities to concrete form.
One paragraph reads as follows:
1t took the President between twenty
Eve and thirty minutes 10 read il t. his
Cabinet today, and they were all un-
stinted in their praises, both of its sub
stance and its spirit and temper. Two
or three of the men who have had the
privilege of hearing the President read
it have already privately declared it to
be the hest state paper Mr.. Wilson has
ever prepared. They look to see it en-
Enthusiastically received by the country,
and particularly by the business in
tercsts.
This is just what the country has
been hoping for. 1t is in line with all
that Mr.. Wilson has said concerning
the trust problem, from the date of
his speech Of acceptance of the DEM
ocratic nomination down to tie pres
ent. He has assured business that
whatever legislation were passed
should come only after deep study:
that it was to be friendly Legislation,
constructive and helpful.
There is not the slightest reason
why business should grow alarmed
over such program. It can adjust
itself, as it is doing, to changing
standards of business ethics; but
time is required for any wholesale
transformation Of its system. Nor
can legislation be considered as any,
thing but radical that would upset
it all at once.
We have come to-look upon PresI-
dent Wilson rs practically all-power-
full with his party. We have taken
his promise of an alliance with busi-
ness that shall work out it's problems
without injury to it in good fait!,.
There is only one way to keep that
promise. We hope the message, in
its final form, will at least be specific
enough to show that no destructive
assault upon business will be toll
Grated.

THE GEORGETOWN-VIRGINIA
ROW.

Without attempting TO enter into
the merits of the case the breach in
relations between Georgetown and
Virginia comes as distinct blow to
lovers of amateur sport.
Not since the memorable meetings
of Georgetown and the old Columbia
Athletic Club, have football enthu-
siasts seen such thrilling games as
IT the annual conflict between the
two Institutions. From a compare
lively small affair this November
meeting grew to such proportions
that it annually drew to Georgetown
Field the largest crowds that gath
cred for sporting affairs of any sort,
baseball alone barred.
Virginia regularly sent a huge
delegation of students and professors,
While back to Georgetown came
alumni who looked upon the game
as an occasion for general reunion.
The jubilee in a hotel last fall, when
many individuals who never saw the
inside of a college, drew odium to the
game, was unfortunate and brought
discredit upon the athletic event.
Georgetown and Virginia are nat
Cral rivals; their faculties and alum
nj, as we'll as the undergraduates,
have many interests in common, all
of which goes to intensity the general
regret at the untimely termination
Of their relationship on the field of
athletics.
If the charges Of ineligibility al
legged by the University of Virginia
have foundation in fact, the men up
on whom Georgetown depends for
enforcement of accepted athletic
ethics owe it to ali connected with
the institution to see that there are
DO further violations. If Virginia's
arrqignment is untrue Georgetown
should present a convincing refuta-
tion.
The game is gone, but there are
higher interests which should be at
tended to without delay that would
serve hut to allow to become deeper
rooted a feeling that is gathered by
the casual reader that Georgetown
has been unfair to her ancient rival.
AS Elihu Root said of diplomacy
there is no dispute that cannot be
peacefully settled if both parties are
actuated by an honest desire to
avoid conflict.
