WHAT RAILROADS WANT

It is no wonder that the railroads or
the country are willing TO so under
national supervision when we take Into
consideration their recent experience
with a weak executive. This dlspoSi-
ton is outlined by programme OF
railroad legislation which will be laid
before Congress which contemplates
q federal incorporation law for inter-
stHfe railroads, TO be CcGer the direct
supervision OF the Interstate. Com
merce Commission, with authority tc
fix the minimum as well as the maxi
mum rates.
There is no question but the ra'.-
roads are harassed TO a large extent
by the conflicting regulations OF the
various States in which they operate.
These conflicts were clearly set forth
in the address Of Mr.. Thorn. counsel
for the railway executives advisory
committee before the United States
Chamber OF Commerce recently.
Mr.. Thorn cited instance after in
stance illustrating the ridiculous con-
ditions which Interstate roads were
calling upon 10 meet because OF their
subsection TO the authority OF 20 dif.
ferent and differing authoritieS-the
States and the Federal Government.
One or Two States might pass a law
affecting an interstate road. the bur
den OF which would be unloaded on all
the States in which that road operated,
and ne named the ''full.crew' laws aF

example Again, a tax might be laid

tee could not see the efficacy Of this
appeal, is 4 mystery
1t is now said that at the beginning
of the canvass MIR. Hughes intended
to lay special emphasis upon after-the-
war conditions and 10 hammer home
the conviction that this country Will
need the most thorough economic pre-
paredness for the tremendous CONNER
cial warfare which will ensue. THIS
theory of campaigning was absolutely
correct, and why the candidate was III
yerted from it in order TO take up min
or offences of the Wilson administra-
ton at a time when he was expected
to make his greatest impression on
the country in inexplicable upon an;
other notion than that the National
Committee advised against it. In this
respect the Committees advice was
bad, as it was more frequently than
not, and the whole record of headQua:-
tiers is such that the party leaders
shrink from passing the next fouT
years under a continuance OF Sutl
guidance. With the opening Of Con-
gress there will be many conferences
on. this point; and the prevailing opn'
ion now is that if some effective mettI.
Cd can be found there will be an imme-
date move toward putting the party
machinery in condition for a winning
campaign two years hence. 10 be &C.

.Germany's announcemen; of he
creation of Kingdom of Poland -
cut Of the territor? captured from
Russia has been followed by the dec.
laration that similar kingdom is TO

The new Kingdom OF l.ithuania is 10

The purpose Of the TWO DEGREES by
Germany is obvious enough. Ii seeks
ito supplement- the man power in the
field OF the Teulonic allies by draw
ing on tn" population OF Russian

have not realized that certain very
important considerations determined
Germany'S action al this time.
Under the accepted laws Of war
Germany. although in possession OF
both conquered areas, Is deoHrrta
from Conscripting the male inhabi
tants for her armies. The cases Of
Lithuania and Poland. in This respect
are Identical with thai of Belgium
Should Germany dare force the male
populations into her military service,
she would. by that very act. put her
self beyond The pole Of civilized war
fare. But with Lithuania and Poland
even nominally independent Kingdoms.
Germany could. with apparent legal
iry. compel military service from their
able. bodied males.

nothing but an exchange OF masters,
with death on the battlefield for those

The sole difference is that they must
die suddenly for Germany instead OF
starving slowly for Russia.
The vitality Important question now
is: Does this immediate prospect
please in view Of the ultimate benefits
which the victims Of such high
handed policy may reasonably expect:
Never were Two peoples called upon
