ARE THEY TO GO?

The New York World in recent issue had
penderous and labored editorial In which II
undertook to show that while Secretaries NC
/ Adoo and Daniels are admirable men for the
positions they hold, they ought to be retired.
Mr. McAdoo, so we are told has proved him.
self IAN extraordinarily able secretary OF the
treasury and Mr.. Daniels 'did great con-
structive work for the navy and will be re-
garded by historians one Of the best ad-
illustrators but both of them ought to step
down and out
It is very considerate in the staunch defend
er Of the administration to heap up such high,
soft mat of feather beds for these officials to
fall on before advising the president to let
themsout. But from what is known OF these
two gentlemen, even this decoration pinned
upon their lapels may not entirely reconcile
them to enforced retirement. "If I am all that, J"
Josephus may very naturally argue, why
should have to goi'' IF am so extraordin-
arily able" Mr.. McAdoo can be conceived as
reasoning, "why give me ribbon and medal
and show me to the door,"
There are two quite definite and different
opinions concernig the value of the services, OF
these two eminent officials. They and the
paper which advises the president to give
them their congo for the good Of the country
seem to entertain one of these and the rest OF
the people appear to hold the other. Far be it
from us to begrudge them such consolation as
they may derive from the appreciative esti-
mate of the great journal which recommends
the president to get rid of them. If they are now
to quit the cabinet--if they are soon and sure
ly to go-and compliment will do them grace
why should it not be gilded in happy terms
For probably no one will deny that both of them
have tried to do the best they could and have
really done the best they know how.
While Senator Newlands, chairman Of the
Joint congressional committee which is investi-
eating the transportation situation, was calling
attention to the importance Of ascertaining the
facts in regard to government ownership Of
railroads, the National City bank of New York
made public statement dealing with some of
the most interesting facts in this connection.
In Europe about SO per cent Of the railway
mileage is government owned or controlled: in
ASIA IS per cent; Africa, 60 per cent; Oceania,
80 per cent; South America, 80 per cent; and
North America, per cent. Nearly two-thirds of
the railroads of the countries at war are owned
by the governments. With the exception of the
line now building in Alaska, there are no gov
ernment owned railroads in the United States,
but some experts in the business of transporta.
ton believe that the only way to prevent adop-
ton of the government ownership plan here is
to make important changes in the present
system of regulation.

In the contracts for arnor plate for the bat
tleships Colorado, Maryland, Washington and
West Virginia there is nothing to indicate that
the manufacturers are attempting to take adj
vantage of the war situation to raise prices
There is an unprecedented European demand
for armor, but the prices asked by the Bethe-'
hem and Carnegie companies are about the
same as those paid three years ago. These com
panies will divide the work. When the bill for a
government armor plate plant was before con-
gress the Bethlehem company said that the
private concerns would make plate at prices
satisfactory to the government Evidently
they are keeping faith. Perhaps we are to
hear no more of the ill-considered plan to put
the government in competition with private
corporations having ample facilities for the
Of all the material needed by the
navy department.

COURSE OF STUDY

Some folks are of the impression that
the ChirOpractor is product of a few
weeks or a few months course of study,
when, as a matter of fact, the qualified
Chiropractor puts in more hours of
study and schooling than the average
medical man and applies himself, by
far, more strenuously to his study.

LOUISIANA TEACHERS
TAKE NOTICE.

The women of New Jersey con
stitute thirteen fifteenths of the
teaching force, and contribute
Dine tentbs of the income of the
State Teachers ssociation, which
IS controlled by the men; also,
they contribute the greater part
of the income of the Teachers Re.
tirement Fund, and every time a
male teacher is retired he gets
the maximum annuity, while a
woman teacher may not GET half
as much The Trenton Times
makes the following comment on
this conditions:
"The woman teachers in the
public scboole have organized for
their protection. 1t ia doubtful,
however, whether the women will
be able to get their rights through
organization. What they really
need, is the ballot. which influ
ences Legislators and the boards
of education to listen to the de-
maDds made by the men, who do
exactly the same work as the
women but at salaries, that are
practically double"
