"STRICT Accountability"

Most people will feel very bitter
against Germany for the destruction
of the Lusitania without giving the
passengers time to seek safety. Most
Of us will be controlled by our feel
inRs, and accept the view of President
Roosevelt that such an act is piracy
and murder and not justified by the
laws Of war. 1t would have been
easy enough to have captured the
L.sitania and destroyed the physical
property, giving the passengers and
others opportunity for escape. Every
rcd-blooded American will be mad
through and through at the tactics Of
Germany.
According to the strict rules Of in
terrational law Germany had q right
to destroy the vessel, inasmuch as 1t

The commission on finance of the
Methodist Episcopal church, new
body appointed within that church to
unity the benevolent organizations,
has adopted motto as follows: "At
least as much for others as for our
selves" This might be considered a
radical change from the customary
tithe of ten per cent were it not for
the fact that it applies to the church
and not to the individual. The motto
means that the church whose local
budget for expenses is $4,000 year
ought to give at least $4,000 year

schools, temperance societies and 9TH

justify themselves by the warnings
which they issued in New York and
Washington, but neither of these facts
lie sen the brutality of the action, nor
will these facts allay the public feel
ing that is bound to sweep America
that Germany has no regard for Am
erican rights, and does not fear war
from this country on account of what
all admit is state of unprepared-
ness for country of hundred mil
lion people.
| The Lusitania affair will center the
thoughts Of America on the war as
no other incident has done. 1t makes
a most difficult problem for our Of
ficials in Washington. 1t is a situa-
ton of the gravest character in the
life of this nation. We do not share
the tacifist view that we will accept
all insults simply with protest. We
do net, however, accept the extreme
view of Theodore Roosevelt. He says:
at seems inconceivable that we can
refrain from taking action In this mat
ter, for we owe it not only to human
Iity but to our own national self re-
spect.' We interpret Roosevelt's at
titude as being an immediate desire
for war, but certainly something
should be done by America to main
tain it's national self-respect-more
than has yet been done since the great
international war started. We should
have Il real meaning put into our an
nounced platform Of "strict accounta-
bility."-Des Moines Capital.

THE ALASKAN RAILWAY.

The people of Alaska are much
elated over the completion of the pro-
gram for a line of railway extending
from the southern coast four hundred
and seventy-one miles into the inter
Tor. Private promoters have never
been able or at least willing to meet
the governmental specifications. When
the Alaskans finally made such a COM
plete showing of what railway
meant in the way of territorial de-
velopment, the government decided to
go into the railway business ON its
own account.
The government purchased short
line known as the Alaska Northern
roat at cost of 81 500, 0,0O0-whieh
the interior department, in a con-
gratulatory spirit declares was "less
than its physical valuation as estimat-
ed by the Alaskan engineering COM
mission and by the engineers of the
interstate commrece commission"
This is one feature OF the transac-
tion which is calling forth some pref
ty sharp criticism from conservative
quarters, What business has the fed
eral government seeking to drive a
sharp bargain in a fashion which it
would condemn and probably punish
# consummated for example by a
trust or private corporation? asks
| The Des Moines Capital.
If the Alaska Northern railway, un-
able to go it alone, had been swal-
lowed up for example by the Southern
Pacific Railway company, for small
er consideration than a court of
equity might have decred to be its
proper physical valuation, the legal
department of the United States gov
ernment would have taken action, and
the provisions of the Sherman anti
trust law would have been promptly
invoked.
The great public value of this trans
action, however, lies in the fact that
we are to be given a practical illus
tration of what government owner
ship of railways can accomplish. This
line of road extending from Seward.
on the southern Alaska coast, to Fair
banks, will penetrate immense and
valuable coal fields, and from which
point it will eventually be extended
to the rich copper regions of the Yu-
kon river valley. The total coast of
construction of the present line is
placed at s26,sOO, ,OOO-including a
branch extending thirty-eight miles
into the Matanuska coal fields-more
than three times the entire amount
which the United States paid for the
whole Alaska territory under terms
negotiated by Secretary Of State Will
liam II. Seward.

THE LABOR OUTLOOK.

May Day in Chicago brought the
usual amount of labor unrest. Over
l25,000 workmen in various sections
of the building trades are either out
upon strike or are in forced idleness
because of a strike in other trades
which keeps them from working at
their own branches of industry.
Chicago is nearly always in the
throes of labor difficulty of some
sort or another. The workers of that
city seem to be more contentious in
their habits than those of other large
centers. 1t is a dull week or month
when there is not q strike or labor
difficulty of some sort in Chicago.
1t must have occurred to many of
the workers themselves in Chicago
and elsewhere that this is an unfor-
tunate time for a strike. The coun-
try is full of idle men who have not
yet felt the "wave. of prosperity"
which is so persistently preached by
the apostles of the present adminis
tration at Washington. There are
many thousands of men in Chicago
and elsewhere who have not yet felt
the quickening impulses of that re
vival of business" which is so freely
promised by statesmen in the capital
of the nation.
Everybody hopes that it will come
and come speedily. But until il does
come; until the time arrives when a
considerable portion of the present un-
employed labor is at work, when there
is demand equal to supply, it would
seem to be an unfortunate time for
men to bring unemployment upon
themselves and upon their fellow
workers.

office in Denver from taxes from the
various counties of the state show
increase over previous

THE LAWSON oUTBURsT.

There will be the usual amount of
hysteria over the verdict of guilty
which was brought against John R.
Lawson OF the United Mine Workers
for causing the death Of Deputy Sher-
iff Nimmo in the southern coal fields
last year.
A score of men may be acquitted
of acts of violence in connection with
this trouble, but when a jury of IL
men, after listening to the evidence
for many days, returns verdict of
guilty, then we have an outburst
from the defendants to the effect that
they were treated unjustly, that the
verdict was result of conspiracy,
that it was "Rockefeller's gold" that
did it, and lot of other comment,
wholly unjustified by the circumstan-
ces in the case.
If the jury had acquitted Mr.. Law
son, it would have been hailed by his
attorneys and by his organization as
a triumph of justice and of right, and
we would have heard nothing whatso-
ever about the alleged influence of
"Rockefeller's gold"
There is no ground whatever for
these charges of undue influence
made by Lawson and his attorneys.
They are simply putting forth these
comments, hoping to incite the resent
ment of the public against the ver-
dict of the jury. They feel, of course,
that by Juggling RockefelIer's name
into it, that this will help them in
creating this public sentiment which
they desire against he verdict of the
jury.
But no man, and no organization
can be justified in setting itself up
against the law and the lawfully con-
stituted authorities. There is no rea-
son for believing that Lawson did not
have fair and impartial trial. The
jury was composed of farmers and
business men. He had the best at
tOrneys that his organization could
find, and he had all the money that
was necessary to fight his case. There
is no justification, therefore, for these
hysterical outbursts which are bound
to follow the conviction of one man
out of many who were undoubtedly
guilty.-Colorado Springs Telegraph

THE GOSSIP EVIL.

Gossip claimed two victims in Kan
sas City last week. Wagging tongues
in the mouths of owners who relish
anything resembling scandal drove a
nervous woman to a frenzy that had
a tragic climax in murder. Of all the
crimes on the statute books gossiping
should carry the heaviest penalty. 1t
is usually an insidous assassination
of character. A word dropped here
and there with knowing look will
poison life and rive men and wo-
men to crime.
Many persons are able to withstand
gossip. But they are in the minor
ity. The sensitive members of the hu-
man family whose very souls are cut
by the sting of calumnious lies suf-
fer deeply. Lies spread about the
most guiltless person will always find
a believer. These little hints at
wrongdoing tear down character and
eventually ruin life.
That poor woman in Kansas City
was driven to crime by the leering
talk of scandal mongers. They whis-
pered, nodded and justified their i'm
pious acts by saying they did it to
protect others. Back of their SNUG
innocence was a hypocrisy as virulent
as the poison of viper. Gossipers
are menace to society because they
tear it down instead of build it up.

The Herald does not believe for one
moment that the German citizens of
this country or even the Germans in
their native land, uphold the kaiser's
plan of warfare. The Germans as a
whole are as loyal and patriotic and
as far above murder as any class of
people on top of the earth. 1t is too
bad that any people are governed by
such man-one who has no regard
for any living thing. As we have oft
en- said, if Germany is able to blow
up every English and French warship
there would be no kick coming. It
would be glorious achievement on
their part but the ambitions Of a
ruler to conquer the world and become
its lord and master is altogether a
different matter.

TIPPING AND THE PUBLIC.

Iowa will have an anti-tipping law
after July /. In this connection it is
interesting to note the testimony of
Robert L. Lincoln, chairman OF the
board of directors of the Pullman
company, who recently appeared be-
fore the federal commission OH indus
trial relations in Washington.
Mr.. Lincoln agreed that the salary
of @2750 month paid to porters is
not sufficient. AT the same time he
declared the tipping evil will continue
no matter what wage is paid to the
porters.
When asked whether the company
makes 1t part OF porters duty to
shine the shoes of all pass kgers, Mr..
Lincoln replied that there Is nc 60!
rule, but that the traveller expects it
and usually gives TIP in return.
1t is upon these grounds no douDt
that the Pullman company will seek
to evade the anti-tipping law in Iowa
if an attempt is made to enforce i.
The company will show that its por-
ters are allowed to perforH. extra SER
, vices in addition to the regular duties
of making up the berths and caring
for the car. Then the payment of
gratuity for shining shoes, brushing
off the clothes and doing other small
favors will apparently be legalized.
1t is quite evident that the public
must do its share toward stamping
out the practice that has made travel
in Europe so embarrassing to the
man of average means. But before
the public can make any headway the
employers must take the lead. There
is no better place to begin than on
Pullman. The first step is to pay
the porters reasonable wages. Next
instruct the employees as to what SER
vices are expected of them, and post
signs in each car that no tips will be
allowed. Porters ought to be allowed
to perform etra services, but the
company should have a hand in the
charge the same as it does with the
barber, the newsboy or the dining
service.-Des Moines Capital.

ment made by Frank P. Walsh, chair
man of the federal industrial COM

Many people who have been inclined

to view with suspicion everything

LAFE YOUNG TELLS
OF VISITING FIELD
OF MARINE BATTLE
(By Lafayette Young. J

PARIS, April 22.-(By Mail.)-A
few days ago in company with friends
l visited the little city of Meaux which
has about $4,000 people. 1t is old.
The river has strong current and
has for three hundred years turned
the wheels of flouring mills set out
over the stream. Besides these mills
there is bridge across the stream
for the convenience of the patrons
of the mill and the general public.
The British troops were south of the
Marne before the battle began. Then
the Germans were pursuing the al
lies. The British by direction blew
up the bridge of the mill
But the old mill remains. It's frame
work is oak and the timbers are so
large that even 3-inch guns could not
destroy them. Inside these mills are
the grandest collection of ancient
flour making machinery that l ever
saw. The machinery itself would
make an exposition.
The grinding processes arc those of
so years ago. and everything else har-
monizes with that. There are SO many
small passagoways and stairways in
the mill that am inclined to think
the engineers who planned the
trenches which i visited must have at
one time visited the mill. At my rate
they might have found good pat
tern there.
Fighting on All Sides.
There was fighting all around the
vicinity of this mill. The current is
strong in the river Marine at this point
and with a proper dam great power
could be drawn from the river. Just
below the bridge there IRE large
houseboats now used for laundry pur-
poses by the army. We afterward had
tea in the hotel where Won Kluck
made his headquarters when march
ing on Paris.
On the public highways running
through the fighting grounds there
we're large, handsome trees. Many of
these were cut off by shells. A 3-inch
shell when striking the center would
cut off tree 25 inches in diameter.
II must be remembered that when |
1000 900 men march over q bit of
territory and cross and recross the
rivsr, some tramping has been done.
