Work for Congress.

The railroad controversy has added to
the importance of the control of the
next Congress; and although the mat
tiers at issue are not political in their
nature, both parties will exert them
selves the more because of their exist
ence and the necessity they have dis
closed for legislation along some new
lines.
Until now we have been most con-
ccrned about tariff adjustments as the
result of the war; about establishing a
merchant marine: about securing a
largely increased foreign trade: about
putting additional touches to our new pol
icy of army and navy preparedness; !;
about additional legislation on the sub
ject of immigration.
Important as all that is. we have had
suddenly presented to us something even
more important We were threatened
with domestic paralysis. Transporta-
tion is life itself to this country The
railroad service, prompt, safe and ade-
quate, is essential to our national ex-
istence. Stop it, or materially curtail
it, and the most appalling consequences
would follow to health, money credits,
and all personal comforts Such sit
uation would be but little short of an
arehy, and might easily precipitate an
arehy.
What this Congress was asked to do.
and did. was to meet an emergency; to
prevent what seemed to be imminent
in the nature of national calamity
But when that had been done-and it
was done promptly-only a beginning
had been made in the premises. Pro-
vision for the future will be necessary.
As the President says. the present sit
uation should never again be permitted
to arise. Too much is at stake As mat
tiers stand today the public is too much
meraced. We are too insecure in our
just rights and privileges.
To prepare, and debate, and pass the
measure or measures necessary to give
permanent relief will require both legal
and business knowledge of the highest
order. The pick of the American bar and
the pick of the American business world
would find work to their taste in the
next Congress; and it is to be hoped
that many men highly qualified and
with national vision NAV be elected to
that body.
We have all been deploring condi-
tions in Europe, and speculating about
the disclosures of the war and what will
follow when peace is restored But
right here at home are conditions and
possibilities sufficiently grave to de-
mand all our attention, and they should
receive it.

Labor bay.

Labor day has a special significance
this year ON account of the recent hap
penings, which have reached climax in
the enactment Saturday Of an eight-hou
day law for the railway systems of this
country. Doubtless the celebration of
the holiday today will call forth many
references to this advance in the uni
versal establishment of the eight hour
day principle. 1t is true that the en-
actment is not conclusive or final as
regards wages, but labor nevertheless
justly feels that victory has been
scored
Labor day has become an institution
as fixed as any other national event It
is a day of relaxation and enjoyment to
the majority of people, but it neverthe-
less has a marked significance in recog-
nition of the services rendered to Amer
lea by those who work with their hands,
who by their industry and skill have
contributed to the national prosperity in
immeasurable amount.
The interests of labor touch those of
all other classes of people. Upon the
prosperity of the workingmen depends
in large measure the prosperity of all.
The setting apart of single day as the
day of labor is designed, not to draw a
distinction between the workers and
others, but to bring them closer together.

Incomprehensible Theories.

Doe Braney has spent precious years
a-fllin' up his mind
With books an conversation of the most
improvin' kind
Therefore, with confidence, to him fur
some advice we went
Concernin' certain miscreants we had
marked fur punishment
We wanted him to show us how to make
it so severe
There wouldn't be no show fur any evil
doers here.
He didn't stop to think at all, but sent
us on our way.
He didn't even tell us to come round
some other day.
AThe punishments is easy"-that is
what he told us there.
"Rewards are more effective, but they're
harder to prepare.
The punishments when they're deserved
will surely come along,
But rewards must rest with wisdom both
superior and strong.
A punishment is often the result of
selfish spite.
Rewards proceed from sentiments of
Justice and of right
An that's the way he wandered on. !
surely hate to knock.
But heap of education seems to 60 to
waste on Doc!

midst Of the antarctic winter he pressed
through the ice four times before he
managed to reach his waiting fellows
His rescue of these men must stand as
one of his greatest achievements, how
ever valuable his scientific discoveries
in the southern polar zone may have
been.
