An ORIGINAL EMPLOYMENT ACT.

A coroner i'll Chicago has originated a very
unique idea for aiding men temporarily out Of
work. His idea rs 10 employ coroners' jures
only men who are In need of assistance, and to
whom the dollar or SO paid for jury service
comes as real blessing. This patriotic social
worker calculates that his efforts have been in
strumental In assisting several thousand men to
lars, and this with no special appropriation or
unusual action, All that he has done is to exer-
else little care and common sense in the ap.
pointment of his juries.
Even greater than the financial aid rendered
by this means is the fact that the Chicago coro
ner has personal testimony from twenty men
that the employment he gave them on juries
charged with investigating the deaths of suicides
saved them from similar fate. Twenty men
saved from suicide and several thousand from
famine by ss use of machinery already pro
vided by gov lament Is that not an achieve
ment of which to be proud?
In New York there is another instance OF a
patriotic and commonsense city official who sees
the value of business principles as applied to
city government Here the city has provided
> 800 beds in municipal buildings and gives six
meals and two nights lodging in return for eight
hours work on the city streets BY employing
the city to employ Just twice as many men it
would otherwise have the facilities to take
care Of.

The petition is based business conditions
which the roads contend are lowering their reve.

The argument Of the Interstate Commerce Com

material for the roads in the present appeal.

Whenever the prospect of peace in Mexico

the question of employment for the exceeding
many generals. colonies, captains, petty and non

prfvates who constitute the various forces of

nothing TO Mexico. where every man may not
only aspire, but raise force and acquire And

ing The World News because 1t ''castigates" Mr..
Montague and yet The World-News has not said
OF Mr. Montague anything half bitter or
unfair as what The Journal said of Virginia con-
sressmen who voted Cor submission. On the
day following the vote In Congress The Journal
had an editorial, In which II directly called into
question the sincerity of every representative
from Virginia who favored the Hobson Measure.
If the editor OF The Journal has forgotten this
fact, he turn back page or two and
over what he wrote and thus refreshing his
memory he discover how perfectly absurd
he makes himself on occasion.
The World News did not question Mr. Mon
tagues right to vote against the amendment, nor
did it quarrel with him for the position that
he took. Its criticism was directed at the course
he pursued prior to his vote Several members
of Congress, according to The World-News cor
respondent at Washington, understood Mr.. Mon
tague to say on the day the vote was taken
that he would vote for the measure Prior to
that time he had been ranked az against the
measure. and in the windup he landed In the
opposition column. 1t is this record that we
criticised. II Mr.. Montague did not lead some

THE VALUE OF NEUTRALITY,

Why should we be neutral is question that
has been often asked and sometimes left IMAM
swered. The administration itself has certainly
not had the time to reply in detail to all these
queries, but the administration has made a
blanket reply 10 all in its protest to Great Britain
against the search and detention OF neutral, but
especially American, vessels by British war
ships
Suppose we we're not neutral, would we have
the right 10 protest? Would we have the right to
unrestricted passage Of the seas fer noncontra-
band cargoese Would we have anything like the
liberty of passage now enjoy?
Were we allied with Germany We would have
no access to the sea because the British feet
practically dominates the ocean Were We al
lied with Germany. just half of the markets now
open to us would be closed
We place little eredence in the rumor that the
Presidents protest will cause friction with Eng
band II England is that little it will be we'll to
md 1t out Neither do believe that there
Swin be any friction with Germany over the ques
asAfion of accredting consuls in Belgium to the
herman government. Such step would involve
the very serious and complicated question OF
recognifion OF powers in temporarily conquered
tcrritory and the value OF our neutrality en-
