PROBLEM OF THE POOR

An interesting prophecy was re-
Gently made by Bishop Thomas p.
Gailor in a speech at st. Louis, In
which he declared that in fifty years
private charities will have been sup
plan1Dd entirely By municipal ch9i.
tiea When TIE Npid strides Of or:
ganized charity during the last half
century are considered, this appears
quite possible.
The poor are always with US, and
the care Of the helpless poor Is
everybody's business. In a large
measure responsibility for poverty
lies with the whole people, not with
a few individuals. There seems to
be no valid reason for a system
which permits individuals and pri-
vats organizations to assume the
care of a certain part Of the coun-
try's population. Our social customs
are such that we care for the old
and in a measure for the mentally
and physically deficient. Scientific
study Of economic problems will un'
doubtedly obviate many Of the
causes of poverty, but there will al
ways be poverty.
The governmental industry and in.
dustrial government are visions Of q
far distant future, and until that
time arrives any steps which are
taken to make the community re-
sponsible, as q whole, for its help.
less poor will be steps forward in
civilization.
When private charities go out Of
existence, and municipal, State OF
Federal charities deal with the prob.
lem of the poor thoroughly and
scientifically, then will the sufferingi
Of the unfortunate be reduced to the
minimum.

CARRYING WAR toe FAR

German statesmen and economists
are partly right in their insistence
that the hard-and-fast alliance Of the
entente powers for the purpose Of
economic control after the war will
be of little importance. A program
that would successfully isolate Ger
many and cut it of from any large
share Of legitimate competitive COM
mercial opportunity would be bad
program. A peace back Of which
stood such purpose would not be
q permanent peace. There would be
more trouble soon.
Germany could not be pent up,
territorially, within her Utican con-
fines; this war is a protest against
that condition. No more can she be
economically and industrially shut
of from a fair chance in the world.
10 dwarf her development in these
lines would be to compel her to an
exaggerated development along mill
tary lines, and to attempt once moro
the effort to fight her way to a just
place in the sun.
But, while all this is true, It is
also to be said that never again will
Germany enjoy the benefits of such
q short-sighted policy as that which
opened to her the markets of the
whole British empire, while British
products were barred from German
opportunity by high tariffs. There
will be some readjustment that will
place these two foremost industrial
and commercial states on a basis
nearer equality. It will advantage
Britain and weaken Germany. Ger
many has made fearful mistake in
refusing to realize the great con-
cession Britain has made to her. She
has thrown away her greatest busi-
ness asset.

THAT SUBMARINE COURIER

Running the gantlet of the French,
italian, and British warships in the
Adriatic, the Ionian and the Mediter-
ranean seas, the submarine U-35
reached Spain safely, delivered a
message and now is on the return
trip-unless an allied patrol has
spied her and ended her career.
It is a remarkable exploit. The
submarine is reported to have start
ed from Pola, the Austrian naval
base almost at the northern extrem-
ity of the Adriatic. The voyage
southwark, skirting Sicily, and then
westward to Cartagena must have
been at least 1900 miles and may
have been much more if there were
any turning and dodging of enemy
cruisers and destroyers. 1t speaks
we'll for the seamanship Of Lieuten-
ant Won Arnauld, demonstrates anew
the lengthening cruising radius of
the underseas craft and gives proof
Of the commanders daring. Now
The Herr Lieutenant carefully ex-
planned to interrogators that he de-
livered an autograph letter from the
Kaiser to King Alfonso, thanking
the latter for hospitality to interned
German soldiers. In the idiom Of
the Herr Lieutenant's profession, he
should tell that to the marines!

BIBLES AND HYMNALS
TO GO UP IN PRICE

Easter Music Scarce.
(Nec York Sun.)


The price of Bibles and religious

cost of paper. ink. leather. and glue.
Publishing houses that tried to get
rrayer books and hymnals for Easter

per cent more or 20 without.
The American Bible Society has Just
issued a statement attributing Its In

REBUILDING THE RAILROADS
AGAIN

II has been said that almost no
public work lasts more than a gen
Grafton without requiring in some
fashion to be reconstructed; prac-
tically, to be replaced. The Erie
canal has been rebuilt once a genera
tion, bigger. There is already talk
Of making the Panama canal q sea-
level ditch, even before 1t is really
completed as lock canal. The rail-
roads are everlastingly in process of
rebuilding. Rails Of 120 pounds to
the yard have replaced those Of
sixty; the big freight car Of today
would well-nigh carry a carload of
freight of the first decades Of rail-
reading.
Now comes promise Of the great
est revolution Of all. The conven-
tion Of master mechanics of Ameri-
can railways expresses the serious
view that universal electrification
will take place soon.
IL would IN tne END be cheaper
safer, more rapid and efficient. Then
why not?
If there is a real obstacle, it is, to.
day, the difficulty Of financing such
a gigantic operation. Billions OF
capital would be required. 1t must
be raised from private investors; /,
can only be raised If there is such
confidence in the earning power Of
the roads, and in the governmental
attitude toward them, as will guar.
antee stable conditions.
One way to produce this confidence
would be to unity and centralize
under the National Government, al
the instrumentalities of govern
mental control.

OUR OTHER WAR IN MEXICO

Americans generally are familiar
enough with their country's history
to remember that the war Of lS46 in
Mexico was brought about by the
determination Of the slave power to
acquire the Texan republic and add
1t to the area Of slave territory. Thus
1t might ultimately be carved into
States, each with two Senators, to
balance of the power Of the free
States at the Northwest. The ma
tional development was preponder-
atingly at the West and Northwest,
where slavery was forbidden in the
new States. From the beginnings of
constitutional government, 1t had
been the policy Of the compromisers
between freedom and slavery, to ad-
NIT States in pairs; one North and
at the same time one South, SO that
between free and slave States there
should be a balance. Every State
having the same representation in
the Senate, this preserved in that
body an exact division between the
two systems.
But the South was running out OF
areas to be made into slave States
and Texas was needed. How many
people remember, however, that the
government Of Mexico actually had
forbidden slavery in this territory
From the beginnings Of the Amer.
lean movement into Texas, the
American settlers took their slaves
with them and insisted on perpetu.
ating slavery there. In June, 1924
the Mexican government issued de.
cree forbidding importation Of slaves
into the country; and that same
year new constitution was adopted
which declared all children there.
after born Of slaves should be free
These efforts to interfere with the
institutions that the American.
wanted to transplant to Mexico
caused constantly increasing fric.
ton. There was little concealment
Of the purpose ultimately to make
trouble, take Texas by secession
away from Mexico, and ultimatel,
bring 1t into the American Union.
How greatly have the attitudes ol
the two governments changed in tn,
seventy years since our first wal
with Mexico? Today the United
States is free, while the mass Of Tho
people Of Mexico are little better
than serfs. Today American inter
vention, If It must come, will com,
in behalf Of our sincere purpose t.
carry freedom, order, and decent
government to the Mexican people.
