pose OF future decision as to whether
there ought TO be any legislation. and
because the act Is a violation OF the
Fifth Amendment, in that It ar
bltrarily and unreasonably doprives
the company OF It's liberty OF contract
and property without duo process OF
law, and In that 1t is unworkable and
uncertain, and in that IL unjustly ex-
cludes certain railroads and certain
employees from lts operation. and also
on account OF the enormous PEN
allies"
one Of the chief Arguments which
the New York Central and other roads
are employing is the dcDatable ques-
ton whether the AdamsOn act really
embraces the actual demands OF The
b~rothcrhoods as made before the ioint
conference In New York. IL is cited,
for instance. IN tho Santa Fe case,
that tho brotherhoods asked for an
Increase m pay In switching and In
hosting service. but the Adamaon
act IL confined solely to service In the
operation OF trains. The brother
hoods provided for tho retention Of
any rates Of pay or rules or condi-
tions OF employment more favorable
than the changes demanded. but the
AdamSOn act does not attempt to
preserve n such more favorable
rates. rules or conditions. The
b~rothorhoods demanded no change as
TO the passenger train service. but tho
hdamson act relates as fully to that
as TO other sorts OF road service. The
br~otherhoods provided for the rctcn-
ton OF the mileage basis and that no
employee should receive less for 100
miles than he now receives for 100
miles, and for overtime when tho
speed was less than l2b miles per
hour"

The Government and the Soldier.

Everywhere about Washington yesterday the
uniform was TO be seen, and scores OF young
men who have worn it were early app-
cants at the recruiting office Washington is
proud OF the quick response OF its sons to the
order calling the militia to arms for service on
the Mexican border. The ranks of the regi-
ment the Capital will send to Texas or beyond
will be filled with its best and bravest We
know that the splendid record of Wash
equalled if there is real work to do 1t is graft
lying that the Capital will set so fine an ex-
ample to the rest OF the country.
The men who unhesitatingly answered the
country's call for their services gave no thought
to the sacrifices that may be REQUIRED of them.
The great majority are wage carners, and many
have others dependent upon them; but happily
1t will not be necessary for them to make all
the sacrifice. Those who will remain at home
are ready to do their share. Business men and
organizations with citizen soldiers in their en-
Ploy are signlfying their intention Of continu-
ing the pay Of the men and reserving their po-
sItons for them in their absence Others must
be engaged temporarily to do the work of the
men who are serving the country, and in som.
cases considerable additional expense will be in
Tolved, but this is contribution to patriotism,
4 duty that will be chcerfully performed, and
there will be no counting OF the cost. The least
those employers who stay at home can do is
to assure the men who shoulder the rifles that
their pay and positions are secure
Hundreds OF the District militiamen are en-
Dloyes in the executive departments of the gov
ernmcnt and it appears that there is no law
specifically providing for granting them leave Of
absence with pay for army duty. The situation
may quickly be remedicd, however for no doubt
the President has ample authority to issue an
order to meet the emergency. If not, Con gress
should act immediately Formal assurance should
be given without delay that the naues of all
citizen soldiers in the employ of the government
Will remain on the pay rolls throughout the
term OF their army service. The United States
government should be quick to set the example
to the private employers of the country gen.

There was a marked depression in all

rerience, taking his views Of matters
which lay beyond his own life from the
politicians who spoke most plausibly OF
public affairs.
Every established relationship of law
and of society fell under question. Did
not the law too much favor the combina-
tions OF capital by which small dealers
and producers were shut out Of the mar
kets? Were the courts not on the side
Of those who had privilege. and against
those who had none? Were not the rail-
ways the real masters Of the producer

him by their charges and discrimina-
tons? Was not money scarce because
