Crown Prince McAdoo's recent Or
der, known in railroad circles as
General Order No. A." forbids any
employee Of any railroad to take
any part in politics: to be a dele
gate to any political convention;
to participate actively in the con-

There is your ample evidence of
all that has been charged against the

bling propensities without authority
Of law and in brazen violation Of
constitutional rights. There is your
evidence of this paterna!istic govern
ment going into Offices and shops
and homes to intolerantly dictate
what the people may or may not do.
A vigorous protest has been filed.
In part it reads: .~
1T further appears to us that if the
employer may say to his employees that
they cannot aspire to civil once without 20,
that 1t is only a step from this to taxing
the right Of franchise away from en-
ployees. In principle. there is little dif-
ference. indeed, between taking from
man the right to gain preferment from
the votes of his associates and taking
away from him and his associates the
right to cast vote
1t is interesting to note in this
connection that while Director Cen
eral McAdoo was forbidding his
100000 railroad employees to take
any part in politics he himself
is taking an unusual part in politics.
He. and several other Cabinet orc
ers, have interested themselves in
the success Of the Tam,nany DemG-
cratic candidate for governor of New
York. They are interesting them
selves in the success Of Democratic
candidates elsewhere. Secretary

Austria Ready for Peace.

From the outline OF Friday after
Moons Associated Press bulletins, the
Austrian reply to President Wilson's
note is about all that could be ex-
pccted or asked for by the entente
allied nations.
IL the Austrian government means
that II Is ready to negotiate an i'm
mediate peace regardless Of it's allies,
snd ready for an immediate armistice
on the terms laid down. then the
world should understand that the
Hapsburgs are adopting desperate
remedies in the hope OF forestalling
the disease OF monarchial disin-
tegration.
II means that Austria is ready for
the supreme command OF the entente
allied forces to dictate the terms Of
armistice. And IL General Foch lays
down the terms they will be the
same terms accepted by Bulgaria
unconditional surrender, laying down
of arms, military occupation. and
privilege OF crossing such occupied
territory by allied troops and equip
ment in prosecution of the war
against the Teuton alliance.
II means that Austria has come to
the end of her rope and that Kaiser
Kari's oft-repeated oath Of al
lcgiance to Kaiser Bill is as mean
ingless and useless as any other Teu-
tonic scrap OF paper" or verbal
promise.
The government OF Austria Hum
gary Is aware that the time Of quib-
bling and time gaining notes Is past.
II knows that the game OF diplo-
matte lodging has been overplayed
and a halt called by the people OF
America and allied nations. 1t
hnows that 1t can have peace on the
same terms as conceded Bulgaria and
will be offered Germany. Evidently

Grabbing the Peoples Rights.

Not so long ago the government
took over all the telegraph and tele-
phone companies and placed them
under the control of Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson, who is recognized as
being the master politician Of the
cabinet. II Director General Nc
Adoo has tho right to forbid the en-
ployees Of his railroad department
exercising their rights of citizens
either to hold office, belong to any
party organizations, engage in bust
ness-how long will it be before
Postmaster General Burle>on may
clap the same rule upon the en-
ployees of the telephone AMI tcle-
graph companieso
That this question is not far
fetched Is amply testified to by the
treatment accorded the postal en-
plcyees under Mr.. Burleson's admin
istration. There is little reason IL
doubt that il Postmaster General
Burleson, for any reason which
seemed sufficient to him, decided
to make the same rule in his de-
partment that Director General Nc
Adood has made in his, he would not
hesitate to do so, and another mil
lion or two American citizens would
be denied the right to participate

have the full support of the people,
regardless of whether it is Col.
Roosevelt or Mr.. Wilson who says so.
But that is a very different thing
from having the support of the
Democratic party.
