Editorial Opinion

From the New York Tribune
Discussing the nationwide railroad
strike threat at a meeting Of the ma
tional council Of the Chamber OF
Commerce Of the United States. Pres
ident Charles u. Van Hise OF the
University of Wisconsin. made this
pregnant remark. The public inter-
est is paramount"
That remark goes to the heart OF
the situation. Too many people look
on the public as an innocent bystand-
er in controversies between the rail-
roads and their employees. IF the by
stander is hurt land he is bound to
be hurt, because he must always foot
tho bills after the ructiou is over he
IS expected TO receive with more or
less good grace the assurances of the
two fighters that they didn't mean TO
injure him. being wholly absorbed IN
niuring each other And there the
matter ends, until a new quarrel
breaks out
Yet the fact Is that the public has
both the moral and legal right TO pro-
tect itself completely against loss and
injury due 10 sQuabbles between the
railroad unions and the companies

lockouts. which interrupt Interstate
transportation. II is not an innocent
bystander II is an interested party

Congress forgot that fact when IL

session when the railroad unions en-

LET TT STAND.

From the Maryland Tribune.
We have little patience with the
shirt that seems to dominate the peO-
ple who attempt to reverse a decision
made by the voters at the polls. Such
a decision ought to be final whether
IL suits or displeases individuals.
II there were Irregularities they
should be ferreted out. and corrected;
not in the interest of the candidate
hut because such a course is neces-
sary TO maintain the purity Of cleo
lions. but when a candidate or party
has lost by the fairly expressed viii
of the voters we must emphaucally
condemn the practice OF thwarting
the will of voters by appointing the
defeated candidate to office or enact
ing partisan legislation which VII
deprive the successful candidate OF
his position that 1t may be given 10
the party which suffered defeat at
the polls.
Hon. David J. Lewis was a candi-
date on the Democratic ticket for
United States Senator. and while
MARYLAND was Democratic in the
last election by a plurality Of over
16, 900 Mr.. Lewis was defeated by a
plurality OF over 5000. Thus Mr.
Lewis fell behind his ticket over %
600 votes, which is a most convincing
argument that the voters Of Maryland
do not want him in public Office
In the face OF this condition the
Democratic press Of the State is al
ready urging that Mr., Lewis be given
Cabinet position by President VII
son. Such course. if pursued.by the
President. would be direct and
wanton affront to the $4,000 Maryland
Democrats who voted for Mr.. Wilson
but refused to support Mr. Lewis.
The elect on is over. It's verdict is
recorded. Mr.. Lewis IS repudiated
The will OF the voters should be re-
speoted by letting the verdict stand

Securing the Handbag,

II your handbag looks shabby. and
IL probably does by this time of the
season. you probably do not wish to put
much money into new one to take it's
place. For although ii is now only
midsummer. in another six weeks the
autumn handbags win be in the shops.
and you will then be able to choose
something that will do throughout the
winter.
OF course, any handbag of good quail
ity and conservative style is quite
suitable to carry as long as IL lasts. II
it is made of good leather and the
workmanship is good and IL shows
none of the eccentricities of extremes
it will always look well. even if it is
not quite in the height of fashion. So
if you want to put SIS or more into a
handbag now, choose one of rather
modest fashion.
for the rest of the summer. there are a
number of pretty ones you can choose
from at prices from one to two or three
dollars.
For one. there is a pretty strapped
purse. of handbag size. but neverthe-
less built on the strap-purse model. 1t
costs 81, and is made in various COM
binations of contrasting leather. 1t
comes in black and white. blue and
brown. green and blue, and other good
colors. The lining is of striped silk to
harmonic with the outside.
