 We suspect that the real objection of MT Com pers to the amendment is a desire to preserve the sacrcdness of an institutions; that he regards the strike a principle which should not be sacrificed even to the necessities of a country at war.

The Government and the Railroads

We have now had about six months of government direction of the railroads. On what has happened in fiat time could not be formulated an argument for or against government control government ownership. i4t if at the beginning it should have been stipulated: We will abide by the result six months test If the government cannot the roads economical y and efficiently than the private owners have done, will turn the roads back them and admit government ownership to be a failure" If such a test had been agreed upon government control would now be an agreed upon failure. But such test would really have proved nothing the time was in- adequately brief
 The roads were taken over to increase their ef- ficency so as to meet needs, Several measures such as direct routing which under private ownership was not possible, ordered. The government was 10 advance, and did advance. the roads some mill lions of dollars to be put in improvements intended to increase efficiency.
 But the figures show that for five months there has been slight decrease of effciecy That can be determined only by ton mileage, which has been shown to be slightly less than for a correspond ing fvc-m months period Notwithstanding the pres sure was greater than and the movement of freight had to be accomplished in great part by the more expensive means of truck transportation.
 As to improvements and betterment the number of cars and locomotives is shown by the figures 10 be practically the same as when the government took the roads So the government so far as efficiency is concerned has not yet been able to make good showing
 It has, though, immensely increased the cost of operation far beyond the of the past and the people are paying and freight rates also far heond any disagreable dreams that may have dis turbed them in the past.

The Capital. Punishment Campaign

The movement for the restoration of capital punishment is carrying itself along easily. No Taign in behalf of it is being made and perhaps will be made. The murderers and the killers and would be killers have made vigorous effort be- half of the restoration of the Saows unnecessary. They have succeeded in interesting every voter and practically every voter who goes to the polls will press himself this subject, whereas nearly half of them years ago allowed the gallows to go by default
 To some, the spacious arguments of the anti's sufficient. The injunction thou shall kill was given perverted meaning and many deceived hy the picture of ideal state of society unmarred by the execution of human beings. Figures were jugged too to show that it not necessary hang mur- derers but that could lives of citizens who not murderers by being kind to murderers
 But against these jugged figures have the homicide records of the counties In them there is no juggling They stand out clear and horribly red They need explanation and they are not susceptible of misinterpretation

The Kaiser's Mustache

They may be carrying Americansm or American i5aton far in the East. That section of the coun try was foremost in the war It was thence the de- niand came that we enter the war two years before we got The careful record kept by the National Security League of votes in Congress and preparedness measures proposed long before the shows all of them supporting almost solidy by the Eastern and New England states congressman while members from the South and West usually voted against them ......
 The preparedness measures were almost invari- ably opposed. violently and only by gentle deprecation by the government departments that of the democratic representatives from the East ern and New England states opposed preparedness until the time to fight.
 The spirit of the extreme East has manifested it. self in great variety of ways. Believing itself to be the original cradle of liberty there that the volt against the Hearst newspapers begun and it there has reached greatest proportions. T. there that the sentiment against German music and spread the country. It the East that the movement for the suppression of the German language in America had its start. The East had apparently done everything that could be done advertise its disapproval of the Hun.
 Now it has gone step farther It has undertaken the banshment of the Kaiser Wilhelm musache. We question the advsability of this, though do not personally favor the mustache either with the up turned or the dropping ends The Kaiser Wilhelm uustache is not dstinctvey German. The Kaiser. it is true. has given greater prominence to it than any other individual and younger German army officers have copied and cultivated it. it was Spanish and Italian fashion before mustache was Ger nized Kaserized.
 There were Americans who affected this mustache before the Kaiser born and there still Amer cans who it. notwithstanding the Kaisors adop- tion of the fashion. The Kaiser also wears a nose which doubt has thousands of counterparts in America well in every other country. In the present state of surgery may have any shape of that pleases him if he is willing to bear the in- convenience and expense. Yet we would not favor q propaganda to abolish in America all resemblance to tHc the Kaiser Happens to have.
 We do not think that miarism and Prussiansm siould be imputed to American who is otherwise all right of the of his mustachc CT the con- formation of his proboscis.

Present American Line
"Our line last evening ran nearly
parallel to the valley Of the combined
Vesle and Ardre rivers, and the dis
tance from where we are to their posi-
tion, which is a more or less natural
defensive position, is only little more
than six miles.
"The perimeter of this gradually di-
minishing salient has now come down
to forty eight miles on August 2, from
seventy-four miles at the start. The
depth of the enemy's retirement is now
sixteen miles.
During this advance, beginning with
the centre offensive, we have had eight

We have located, definitely, the troops
which were engaged against the 4th

their dead. The ground was SO cove red

advance without walking over them.
