Can We Win Through the Air1

Great efforts to increase the air-hghting equip
ment Of the American army are now under way
and favorable action by congress on bills looking
to this end is being anticipated as far as wis
dom will permit. This branch Of our fighting
force has been no more neglected than other eie-
ments of the army and navy. The nation has dal-
lied at its work when it should have been busy,
but this regret must be postponed with others
while we make up for lost time as fast as we can.
Air men must be gathered, trained and equipped
and sent to the front, where they are needed.
Whether we can win through the air is not
fully established but It is certain we cannot win
unless we do control the air. The importance of
aviation to the army is fully established, but Eu-
ropes experience so far has shown the decisive
fighting must take place on the ground. The air
scouts locate the armed forces, report on their
movements and assist in the direction of great
operations on either side, and in the campaigns in
the present war have been valuable beyond meas
ure. The birdman has taken over the work of
the horseman, doing the work formerly left to
the cavalry, even to the desultory raiding BY
which the enemy's attention is diverted from the
real purpose of the opposing commander. Sue
cess in this has been attained to a remarkable
degree and il is now asserted that even more than
has been realized is possible.
Our army must have more flying machines
and the men to maneuver them. Bills making
provision for this service are now before con-
gress, with the full support of the administra-
tion, and our army in Europe will yet have all
the support it needs in the air, to the end that
nothing will be wanting to make our efforts effec-
tive in all WAYS

Board of Mediation Stays on the Map.

The refusal of Judge Leslie to annul the State
Board Of Mediation by sustaining the attorney
generals contention that 1t is without constitu-
tional warrant keeps that body on the map. The
peculiar nature Of the board and its limitation as
to function render its existence one OF possible
great service to the public. Neither ministerial
nor executive in its nature, but purely inqusito-
rial it can hardly come within the constitutional
limitation on the creation of new or additional
Offices, for, as the court says, it is little more
than an investigating committee named by the
governor as chief labor commissioner of the
state As such it has only right to make inquiry
as to the merits Of any case into which ii may
be called and through concilation to assist II pos
sible in the adjustment Of disputes threatening to
our industrial welfare. Failure to effect settle.
ment is followed by report to the governor and
the work Of the board is ended. The Omaha case
may or may not be an instance where the board
can accomplish something, but to deprive the pub
lie of its services for the future when it may be
needed would avail nothing.

Speeding Up Freight Trains

The Illinois Central during the last month is
said to have broken all railroad records in NOV
ing all freight cars on its lines an average of
forty-two miles day. This is compared with
an average Of twenty-five miles for all other roads
and an average considered practicable by the In
terstate Commerce commission of thirty miles for
all roads,
If this is possible for the Illinois Central,
which originates IS per cent OF its traffic, il
should the more be possible for roads whose traf-
nc IS largely passed on to them from other roads,
The problem Of freight congestion is thus made
to assume moro soluble form. The roads are
not wanting in freight equipment so much as they
are wanting in the efficient use OF what equip
ment they have. One freight car moved forty
two miles day is the approximate equivalent of
two cars moved hardly twenty-five miles day.
The one car is as good an Garner of gross income
as the two cars and much better Garner of in
come less expenses.
Why then does the country's railroad manage
nent devote so much time and energy in agitat-
ing public measures that may bring them more
borrowed money for more cars when the cars
they have are underworked by nearly half of what
10 shown to be practcablei There is far less
promise of better net earnings in higher freight
rates than there is in pooling of effort toward
the maximum use Of present facilities which the
government is trying to force upon the roads as
best It can.

lust Between Ourselves.

Omaha is distinctly disappointed at having
the army cantonment for this district located at
Des Moines without even considering the inn
measurably superior advantages which a site in
proximity to our city would offer. 1t is not so
much the preference given to another place that
rankles, but the fact that Omaha was plainly fore
closed at the start and refused chance by the
authorities to make showing until after the de-
csion for Des Moines was agreed on
But let US not deceive ourselves as to con-
trbutng conditions. Let US face the obvious
fact that Omaha has fallen down chiefly because
of failure again of our United States senator at
Washington to stand up for his own home town.
Our senator has taken the high and lofty atti-
tude that these matters OF army organization
should be determined not only free from outside
pressure (Which is perfectly proper) but also
without even permitting the relative merits of
different localities to be presented by those who
really know them and can furnish the vitality nee
essary information. 1t goes without saying that
this has not been the attitude of the senator's
from Iowa, who have been alive to their job
and Johnny -on-the-spot' every minute of the
time. Though neither OF them occupy the stra-
tegic position of our senator on the military af-
locations nailed down for favorable report for
cantonment sites while our Nebraska senator was
doing nothing or letting his secretary answer ur-
gent kilograms that he was "out of town"
So we have the beautiful spectacle OF Omaha,
with all its doube-track main line railroads, with
its inviting military headquarters building waiting
to be used, with its capacious army quartermas-
ters supply warehouses, with its costly army post
property at Fort Crook, with its rife range at
Ashland, with its unsurpassed facilities for fur
nishing provisions and other supplies with its
magnificent hospital and medical equipment,
passed by without look-in, in favor OF one
track branch-line town. Thus we have repeated
the unpleasant experience that sent two federal
reserve banks to Missouri because our senator
was so "in bad" with the administration that his
boost for Omaha would be knock and which
we almost encountered again with the farm loan
bank when he refused to take any stand at ALL
True, our senator is now vaanty lodging pro-
tests for us and introducing resolutions calling
for information, but in the meantime the con-
tracts have been let for building the barracks at

one.Idea Reformers Hamper Preparations

The United States is faced with serious un-
dertaking in its preparations for the war. Neg
ligence and indifference to dangerous situation,
extending over long period of years. must now
be remedied by the most vigorous activity the
whole nation is capable Of. This work is now
hampered by the activity of one-idea reform"
lobby at Washington, whose demand for the
adoption Of its peculiar views is real danger.
Our government, setting out on new road in its
undertaking to mobilize the nations resources,
finds its way beset by well-meaning, but ill-ad-
vised, agitators, who demand the most radical
departures from established customs anG insist
on immediate application OF most extreme meas
ures. That serious difference OF opinion ex-
lists as to the advsabty of following the course
they recommend involving great industrial and
commercial readjustments, apparently is lost on
the extremists, who are pressing their campaign
with such persistence as to disturb not only con-
gress, but the whole nation. The effect of this
campaign is to destroy the unity of action abso-
lutey essential for good work. Patriotism, if no
other motive, might be invoked to induce these
propagandists to allow their hobbies to stand on
their merits, while laws intended for the good
Of the whole nation and dealing with issues of
tremendous import may be acted upon without
the accompaniment Of "isms" OF any kind.

taxation? Read Hugos masterpiece,
Les Miserables," and you will see
this relation. He shows that France
taxed the windows in the homes OF
the peasants and even the city popu-
lations. The people, to escape tne
tax, closed up their windows and new
houses were built with as few as pos

relation between this disease ana TAX

that France has seen the wisdom Oh
