that make forehanded, frugal, honest citizens OF
nine men out Of ten? If the anarchistic ele-
ment in our population might be reformed
which is greatly to be doubleday giving
them all they want of the earnings OF other
men, is it incumbent on society to placate It's
malcontents and malefactors In that wayf
Unjust and oppressive conditions should be
attacked and remedied. Much of all that we
call human progress consists in making life con-
ditions fairer, easier and pleasanter for IN
capables and inefficients than they are IN the
state of nature where constituencies might pre-
walls. AS fast as it clearly appears what should
be changed and how, and as fast as men can be
educated to accept the new conditions, the
changes are made. But is it not abundantly
evident that no environment of opulence and
ease can make worthy citizens of all men' The
worlds conspicuous favorites of fortune are not
always its noblest citizens but often the very
reverse.
Here in America where opportunities are
more nearly equal than anywhere else on earth
is it hard and unjust conditions that make an
archists, or is it envy, Incidence, selishness,
evil teaching, unwillingness to work and will
ingness to live on the fruits Of the labor OF 9TH

and undesirable conditions, and there is reason
to believe that these reforms are brought about
as fast as the world is ready for them. As soon
as institutions, useful in their inception, begin
to do more harm than good they pass away, as
autocracy and much else are passing now. But
who can put finger on any general condition

The Car Shortage.

Chicago Tribune: This is perhaps
the most serious factor Of the PROB
lem with which these men (the rail-
road managers) are struggling. With
the tremendous needs OF our industry
and commerce, the transport system
is called upon to expand its facilities
to the utmost limit OF their possinll-
tiles. We have not nearly enough
cars and We cannot create enough 10
meet conditions as they develop.
We cannot create cars. But we
car make each car do more than 1t
ever has done before. We have a
wasteful habit of keeping loaded
cars on sidings while the constgnee
gets ready 10 unload them at his
leisure. 4 large amount Of time and
therefore a large part of the efii-
cheney of cars are thrown away oy
this carelessness. We must all speed
UP now In Germany, We understand.
only six hours are given for unload
ing cars. We ought to do at least
as well. II il is necessary there Will
have to be legislation on this sub
ject, but we hope it will be unneces-
sary through the active cooperation
Of shippers in keeping the cars NOV
ing. The man or concern that holds
frelgnt car minute hunger tuan 10
necessary is Sinking clear and I'M
portant public duty. Public spirit
and even self interest now dictates
the strictest and most wholehearted
cooperation with the able men in
charge of transportation.
IL this comes about promptly
through the enlightened initiative OF
shippers, 1t will go far toward re-
moving the danger of freight CON
gestion and food or fuel famine in
this country and toward helping
America to become a real factor in
winning the war against German
military autocracy.
