WHERE DIsLolYALTY Is.

The administration has made blunders in
the matter of publicity. Most of them have
been in showing too great leniency to utter
ances in print and speech which have been dis
loyaI to the nations war purposes and to the
administration as agent of these. But plumbers
have been made in stigmatizing criticism by
loyal citizens as disloyal to the nation, when 1t

criticising plans of an authority and obstruct-
Ing the usefulness Of that authority if this we're
not true the keystone of our government BY
checks would be gone President Wilson, as
historian, has made this point. But the press
jof war passions distorts judgment and criticism
Of the acts of men bearing heavy burdens may
appear to them and their partisans as hostility
to their cause Yet frank criticism and honest
loyalty have never been Incompatible It is
silent distrust the government should most
fear A magazine of large circulation has been
cautioned because Of an article that the govern
ment Judges subversive Of public interests. Ii
a magazine prints an inexpedient document, 1t
must stand accused Of error of judgment. But
theeditor in apublc defense cites the record Of
his publication as a consistent supporter Of the
nation s war cause and the uncomprising iber-
alism to which this administration is avowed
cannot Justly confuse criticism of it's acts with
disloyalty to it's official authority. In war this
people has always been free to criticise plans in
the making But we invariably have shown
splendid obedience in action and we have never
been beaten. The administration may count on
that same splendid obedience. There is no
latent treason under the surface, when it is buff
feted by waves of criticism. Outspoken loyal
ty may be disagreeable but it is hidden disloyal-
ty that undermines

The food. administration appeals to
the patriotic homekeepers to follow
voluntarily Its Instructions. We all
hope that in this vast field 1t need
go no further and do no more. The
card rationing system will be intro
duced If necessary, but It would be
irlsome to the American spirit and
would compel the employment of an
army of functionaries. Better avoid
1t II we can.
But for hotels and restaurants the
rule has teeth. Those who will not
heed may be entirely prevented from
doing business. The federal food
board can shut off their supplies.
The closing of restaurants In New
York and in other cities will remind
public kitchen slackers that we are
at war, and that war rules are formed
to be strictly obeyed.

yon entered the senate, the democrats
of Iowa are so well pleased with this
senator the opposition has chosen that
they will make no nomination against
him. They could not have elected
their candidate, in any event, but are
entitled to credit for having shown
unanimous approval OF Senator Ken
yon's record. They believe In his
thorough-going Americanism and ars

SENATOR CigRTIs' CONTRIBUTION.

Senator Curtif, of Kansas, has rendered the
country good se-vice by securing the adoption
Of an amendment to the senate rules which Will
make it impossible in the future for conference
committees to insert in pending bills prov1-
sions which have never been considered by eth
or house, or which, having been considered,
have been disapproved Hereafter, laws en-
acted bv conguess will be the result of full de-
liberation. The difficulty in the past has been
that in many instances, after both houses had
indicated their views regarding measures, con-
ference committees which were appointed to
compromise differences between the two houses,
inserted entirely new matter representing their
own views and this new matter must be ac-
cepted or the whole measure jeopardized.

COST OF GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

Agitation for government ownership OF all
the country's railroads persists in some parts of
Canada, Notwithstanding the impressive show
ing made in repeated statements Of the cost of
that ownership where it has been adopted How
great this cost has been is Indicated by the Wall
Street Journals statement that it has been esti-
mated the Canadian taxpayers have lost nearly
two hundred and seventy million dollars in for
ty-seven years in operating the Intercolonlal
and Prince Edward Island lines, without
any allowance for taxes collectible had they
been privately owned It is pointed out that
this is in addition to one hundred and twelve
million dollars officially given as the capital cost
of these roads. On the other hand it is said that
81 the thirty-two mile Windsor branch of the
public road, under the Canadian Pacific man
agement, from 1911 to 1914 earned six hundred
and sixty two thousand dollars net, or more
than one-third of all net earnings of the Inter
colonial since 1867 Everybody knows that
the Canadian Pacific management is efficient.
! the figures given is that government control is
inefficient Certainly it is costly.
But while no one looks for extension Of
ownership in Canada there is disposition
manifest to give up any part of the control al
ready exercised. Determined by the attitude
of successive governments toward public opera
tion,' the Journal says, sit would seem the
craving for control rather sharpened by a
record of twenty-five annual deficits" This is
the more remarkable, because Canada has in
the Canadian Pacific one of the most striking
i examples to be found anywhere in the world Of
the success of private management of trans
portation lines.
