COMING HOME TO ROOST.

From the Minneapolis TT bune.
The natural consequences of Presi-
dent Wilson habit of postponing dd-
ficult questions instead Of settling
them at the right time appear kelly
to make themselves very prominent
within very short time. The rail-
road companies are proposing to en-
ploy their right to test the valid ~ o.
the Adamson law. Suits have been
instituted in various parts OF the
country in the Federal Courts to see
what the law means and whether It
is constitut onal or not, and it Is ex-
pected that the questions involved
Will be pushed through for final deci-
sion bv the Supreme Court within a
few weeks.

such statements as this from Pres -

way Trainmen: ANY railroad that at

manded far working hours and we

Manifestly, having held up the
President and Congress, Mr. Lee feels
quite equal to doing the same thing
to the Supreme Court, and showing
that body just where it will disem-
bark.

CARE OF THE FEEBLE.MINDED

CARE OF THE FEEBLE-MINDED.
From the Philadelphia Press.
The action OF Delaware in intrust-
ing the care OF the feeble-minded to
a commission OF pract cal persons
who have demonstrated their fitness
to cope with the problem" and who
bring with them "a sound bus ness

Apparently It marks the end Of fool

an efficient and business-llke admin

held its first meeting on Saturday,
and although it's recommendations
are stu in the embryonic stage, the
resolute manner in which it started

of splendid achievements.
Six women are among the seven

nation ever treated another modern nation with
such heartessness as Germany has treated Belgium.
nor has any modern nation received from the civilized
world such wealth OF sympathy that which has
been showered upon the plucky little kingdom that
refused permit its sovereignty and neutrality to be
trodden under foot to the military necessity OF
Germany when striking at France.

Baron Sakatani only voiced the

That the Japanese-Amer' can problem
must be solved was a most represen-
tative opinion for Baron Sakatani to

THE Gentlemen's Agreement was
not a fundamental solution. II was
