RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY!

In being examined by Congressional
committee in an investigation of mine
troubles in Colorado. John d. Rookie
feIler, Jr.. absolved. or attempted to
absolve himself from all responsibility
for conditions by declaring that he had
appointed men who were competent to
handle the situation and that he trust
ed in them.
BY that act he probably relieved
himself from liability but not from re-
sponsibility. The distinction is often
missed Liability is legal. 1t depends
upon the code of organized society.
Mr.. Rockefeller and many others have
imagined that in adjusting their acts
to liability that have fulfilled the re-
quirements of responsibility Not so.
Responsibility is moral and does not
end with the Intentions OF the lndlvld-
ual. Men seldom intend to do wrong.
Their lack of sight, of appreciation of
the other mans view. is usually the
cause of the trouble. For this short
sight a man is responsible. 1t is his
duty not to become blinded to the
good of others.
The popular conception of the rela-
ton of responsibility to liability is
growing, as new industrial laws indi-
cate Soon the present protecting
cloak of trusting all responsibility
to appointees' will be taken away from
the men of power.

FOR 4 MORE EFFICIENT NAVY.

Secretary Daniels of the Navy an
uounces that the officers wine mess"
will be barred along with the sailors
beer after a date in the near future.
The equality of the order to the Off
GERS as well as to the sailors is to
be commended.
Class prohibition will never work.
The ''aristocracy." whether in the navy
or any place else. are no more entitled
to their glasses and stems than are the
laborers. Moreover, they can stand
the drink less. None can stand dissi-
patton less than those who do not
work regularly with their muscles.
The effect on mental workers is not al
ways so quickly apparent, but, being
subtle. it is none the less real.
The physical laborer always has a
good chance of throwing off the vast
ing effect. The mental labOrer may hold
out under dissipation for long period,
apparently unhurt. The additional
work the mental worker might have
accomplished is usually overlooked,
but it counts against his character just
the same. He does the necessary
work. But the world is beginning to
learn that the man who does only the
necessary" work is lodging his re-
spOnsibility and is not moral in the
highest sense

And WHY Not These Too!

Editor the MiSSOurian: - Mayor
Moore has ordered that the painting
of signs on sidewalks must stop. Good
for the mayor.
But why not include the tacking OF
signs on trees and telephone poles in
the order? Trees are too beautiful to
be spoiled in this manner, and the tele-
phone poles are ugly enough anyway,
And besides il is question as to what
