RErrER RAILROADS.

When the railroads are returned to their private owners sometime af- ter the war, the date now being under discussion by the DirectorGen
 eraI of Railroads and the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce, they will be bigger and better rail- roads for the simple reason that one and not forty mine supcrintendents shaped their destiny. Government ownership of the roads is not up for discussion at this time The Director
 General has not gone on record one way or the other. From what is
 gleaned' in casual utterances, how
 ever, it may be taken for granted
 that MT. McAdoo will turn back the properties. And when he takes his hand off them they will be in fair shape for recovery,-at least those that have been touched by the dew 8 lish fingers of crooked management

THREE DISTINGUISHED CTTI ZENS OF DEMONSRAT-
 ED ABILITY.

Having grown weary and tired of the present method of handling the war preparations a little clique or coterie of dissatisfied Senators in Washington would overthrow the Commander-in-C Chief of the Army and Navy and place the reins in the hands
 of three distinguished citizens of
 demonstrated ability.' This by the
 establishment of 8 War Cabinet.
 Not. even the staunchest supporter
 of the President would at this mo- ment stand up and declare that no mistakes have been made in the formulation of a war programme. Not even the most blinded partisan would dare contend that everything has moved on schedule time; that there have been no delays, no tan
 g1es, no chances for improvement.
 Yet. on the other hand, not even the highest hatred of the President could
 prompt a categorical denial of the great
 strides made, of the accom- plishm ents already attained, of the good which
 must inevitably result In compari son with the accom- plishments the blunders are insignificant. And, what Is more, there has been no repetition of mistakes.
 now is nothing more nor less than the breaking of a political storm that will sooner or later blow over. It had to come about. Pent-up emo tions could no longer be kept beneath The surface. The minds of men, husied with the great problems of the day had to let loose the thoughts that burdened them. And there are many who think the wheels are moving foo slowly. many who believe there sbou1d be what some call "a speeding m <" Particularly is the criticism Slevelled against the War Department A and the Navy Department, those two great arms upheld respectively by a #Cleveland lawyer and a country editor
 Instead of Secretary Baker and Sec @retary Daniels acting in closo CO., 8operation with President Wilson, the
 lpolitical opponents of these men Awould set up triumvirate made up |3of three distinguished citizens of
 demonstrated ability" whose duties swould be ito consider, devise and for B I Especial" and ito supervise, co-or-
 ainate, direct and control the func-
 lions and activities of all executive
 adepartmen officials and agencies of

 |sudgment of the War Cabinet, it may
New Britain herald., 1918-01-22

l.. yFSfnnent of the United States has attem pted to do what IL took the tm- perial German Government forty years to do,-bui1d up a highly ef- f7cient war machine Beginning with an army of less than 19O, 900 men the American Government today can point to an army of slightly less than 2.oOO,OOO. And all this has taken place since April of last year. With such a gigantic undertaking there were bound to be mistakes The wonder of it all is there were, not more blunders. And now we have come to the point where the mis- takes have been rectffed, where the machine is gotten out on smooth ground. What good will it now do to upset all the plans and throw the war machine back into the first ditch? The only good we can see Of the entire scheme is that it would provide three good jobs at $I2,000 each for three distinguished citizens of demonstrated ability who in turn would see to it that other citizens less distinguished and of undemonstrated ability might pull down smaller berths and go to sleep thereon for the duration of the war.
 This war is the war of the Ameri- can people. It is not a personally conducted war of politicians, whether their feathers be tinted with the hues of Democracy, Republicanism or hatever other party affiliation they may want to claim. The American people are today standing firmly and resoluteiy behind the President in his prosecution of the war. They are doing all in their power to help. They do not want to hinder him even by a War Cabinet made up of three distinguished citizens of dem onstrated ability" Aside from being in conflict with the Constitution of the United States the idea is not even in keeping with the vaunted efficiency which it purports to cham pion.

 On visiting the Courant office in the Bank building on Main street the pas tor of the Zion church consulted the reporter for the purpose of ascertain ing the origination of the wording of the article appearing in Mondays Courant, which looked as a reflection on his paStorate here. The seemingly good natured reporter expressed him. self very refretfully saying that he was lod under the impression that the church had submerged in a mire of financial difficulties since the former pastor resigned a few months ago. and .that it had no pastor since that time and that it was to be reorganized and that committee from our church will meet With the business men of the city this week to plan for the purpose of getting it back in its previous standing. Now to my mind the real business of a reporter is to publish facts, and not impressions
