Interstate Commerce Commission is
the proper body to give governmental
sanction to such a finding, since 1t al
ready exercises control over the rev.
enues of the carriers and is logically
responsible for any adjustments OF
earning power which may be neces-
sary in order to meet an advance in
wages.
Mr.. Wilson was afraid to ask the
brOtherhOOds TO submit their case 10
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
He favored giving them what the"
wanted and investigating the justice
OF the award after it had already gone
into effect. He knew that this was
cowardly course to follow. He knee"
that it lodged the real duty Of the
government, which was to protect the
community and to secure the uninter-
rupted operation of the railroads, not
by buying the good will of the rail
road employees, on the one hand, or OF
the owners and managers, on the
other, but by making them both recog-
nize the superior power and interest
OF the public which they serve.
The President said on Saturday
1.-THE real thing to settle was what
rights had the hundred million people
Of the United States. The business OF
government is to see that no other
organization is as strong as itself, to
see that no body or group Of men,
no matter what their private interest
is, may come into competition with
the authority of society"
Absolutely true words. But what a
blasting commentary on what he and
Congress did when they Quailed at
the threat of strike and ignomini-
ously traded away "the authority of
society," and "the 1.-The rights Of the
hundred million people of the United
States" for a patched-up, temporary
peace!
is the authority OF society" over
the employees in interstate transport
tation to be easily established after so
pusillanimous a betrayal? Mr.. Wilson
asked Congress to enact the Canadian
anti-strike law. That would be step
toward indicating "the authority Of
society,"" But Congress knew well
enough that the anti-strike law rec
ommendation was rot intended to be
taken seriously. It paid no attention
to it, It will pay just as little atten-
ton to it at the next session.
And now Mr. Wilson himself is very
chary about advocating anti-strike
legislation. He is so uncertain about
the means by which the authority OF
society over interstate transportation
is to be established that he appealed
plaintively on Saturday for helpful
suggestions from any quarter
The comprehensive programme which
he submitted to Congress five or six
weeks ago seems to be already thing
OF the past. The spurious eight
hour" law. involving surrender Of
"the rights OF the hundred million
people of the United States" is evil
IDENTIFY to remain as the only monu-
ment to his muddling with great
problem of nationalism, with which
he has lacked the moral courage and
the adequate equipment in statesman
ship to deal.

DON'T Be bald
Here's Good Way to Stop Loss of Hair
and Start New Hair Growth.

Hair can never be made to grow
again after the hair roots themselves are
dead. But few of us, fortunately, grow
bald in day. and we have ample warn
ing that our hair is steadily growing
thinner.
Partisan Sage is probably as effective
a hair grower as could possibly be
found, but to prevent further loss Of
hair, and to actually start new hair
growth on the bald and thin spots, it
must he rubbed right into the scalp with
finger tips, or a medium stiff brush so
that the hair roots can really absorb it..
Try TO get as much on the scalp, and as
little on the hair, as possible. Your hair
doesn't need it but your scalp does, and
"A few weeks scalp massage with Pari-
sian Sage Dust a few minutes daily
will usually check any further loss of
hair and make the hair grow as thiclSly
and luxuriantly as ever.
Unlike many hair tonics, Partisan

AMERICA LOSES TO JAPAN.

NHR- JULIAN ARNOLD. American commercial at
lV1 tache. accredited to Japan has returned to this
country to tell about trade conditions in the Orient
We shall be glad to learn why il is that japan has in
creased her exports to the United States from S92,
100000 in 1913, under protective tariff, to $l4S-
100000 in 1916 under Democratic free trade, while
our exports TO her have increased from $5S,0OOOOO
in 1913 to only S75OOO.oOO in 1916 1nasmuch as HE
kept out OF war;" presumably the things Japan
sent us we're peace products. Inasmuch Japan is
in a state OF war; and is manufacturing enormous
quantities material for Russia it is fair to as
sumo that a large percentage Of our exports to her
during 1916 consisted Of war products We cannot
keep up our war-order business with Japan forever,
but under the present tariff law, Japan increase
the value OF her peace expectation to us.
Possibly Mr. Arnold may also explain to us why
it is couple Of years the United States con-
trolled q per Of the Pacific ocean freight car
rying business. and Japan controlled 80 per cent,
while today the United States controls per cent,
and Japan controls SIS per cent.

A PififuI Defence
(From the New York Tribune.)

President Wilson's latest defence OF
the miscalled "eight-hour' law is a
pitiful tissue Of evasions. II could not
well be anything else. Mr. Wilson
was inundated and stamped into
surrendering to the demands OF the
four railroad brotherhOOds He felt
that a strike-even an abOrtive one
in the midst Of the Presidential cam
paign would ruin his chances OF re
election. He submitted TO the broth
erhoOd "hold-up" as a matter OF polit-
ical expediency.
Ever since then he has been trying
to invent excuses with which to cover
up two gross betrayals OF public in
terest; First, the abandonment of the
principle Of arbitsating wage disputes
between interstate carriers and their
employees, and second. the abdictation
by Congress. in which he concurred,
OF the right to legislate freely and on
it's own responsibility, unhampered by
forty-eght hour ultimatums and other
coerciye measures on the part Of out
side organizations and agencies.
II requires an expert sophist TO
gloss over so shameful a performance.
Mr. Wilson shows how hard pup to he
is when he revives the shallow mis-
representation that the law with
which peace was purchased from the
brOtherhoods Is an "eight-hOur" law.
If the law had been real eight-hour
law. fOrbidding employment on rail
roads, for more than eight hours a
day, or merely providing. in addition,
that overtime work should be paid for
at a higher rate than the regular
eight-hour rate. 10 would never have
passed either branch OF Congress- The
hrotherhoods would have fought il.
and undoubtedly killed IT, What they
asked-and what they got-was not a
prohibition on a longer days work
than eight hours, but the old ten-hour
rate of pay for new eight-hour day.
To them the whole value OF the act
was in the clause increasing wages.
Every intelligent man knows that
the eight-hOur principle was not in
volved in the dispute, except in so far
as it furnished basis for an increase
OF wages. Yet Mr.. Wilson continues
TO pursue a distinction which exists
only in his own Imagination. He said
on Saturday: "I saw at once that
there was one part of this Cthe dis
pute) which was arbitrable. but that.
in my opinion. there was another part
that was not arbtrable I do not re-
gard the question Of the principle Of
the eight-hour day as arbitrable."
Nobody wanted to arbitrate "the
principle Of the eight-hour day" The
brotherhoods wanted a wage increase
and the railroads did not want to
grant It so long as they had no assur-
ance thai the Interstate Commerce
Commission would allow them To raise
their rates sufficiently to compensate
them for an increased wage outlay. II
was a wage and revenue controversy
exclusively and should have been sent
to this board which Congress has Gre
ated to represent it in regulating the
operation Of the interstate carriers.
