GOVERNMENT EXPRESS
SERVICE

~ HE combination of the
VI chief express companies
in the Federal Express
Company on July / will effect
economies in staff, rental
charges, wagons and other
plant and transfer arrange
ments which may mount into
millions. But the chief gain
will be in public convenience.
If a man went to a Post Of
flee with a parcel to be mailed
and the clerk were to tell him,
THAT isn't our territory. You'll
find the Post Office for points
east several blocks down the
street." we should have a fair
parallel Of a condition in the
express business which people
have borne not without
grumbling, bat only because it
was customary
The express service is as To-
gically a natural government
monopoly as is the, carrying of
the mails, says the New York
World. The opposition of the
express companies for years
STAYED off the parcel post. Now
the shoe is on the other foot.
With unity of operation once
established, it is almost incon-
ceivable that any one will ever
seriously propose going back to
the old system.
There will be less objection
to the change now than would
have been the case in the past.
Shortage of labor and other
causes have cut into profits
and one company has reported
a deficit. With the country at
war and more young men go
ing daily to the training camps,
there are no men to spare to
run four big express companies
and a number of smaller con-
Germs when one will better and
more cheaply do the work.

The war, however, cannot be
won by stunts of this charac-
ter. "Hit and run" tactics
sometimes attract much atten-
ton but they accomplish little
after all. 1t is noticeable that
no well conveyed ships were
attacked and if the big divers
came over to interfere with
troop transportation their mis-
sion has been failure.
Victory will go not to the
stunster but to the side with
the stoutest heart and the best
ability for long, hard pulling.
The kaiser cannot win by here
and there attacking helpless
schooners nor by surprise at
tacks on weak spots in the line
on the western front. Eventu-
ally there will be a real show
down and he will take the
count. 1t may be this year,
next year or several years from
now but it is coming as certain
as fate because the United
States and the allies have the
ability. to win and there is
abundant incentive for a fight
to the finish no matter how
long it may last, nor what be
the cost.
The U-boat operations are
intended to depress the Ameri-
can morale. The result will be
to rouse the nation to increased
anger, energy and determine

NATIONAL LEGISLATION

M HE decision of the SUI
VI preme court on the child
labor law sounds strange,
from a practical standpoint let
the legal aspects be what they
may. 1t is difficult to deal
with this subject on local
basis for the reason that if a
mill in one region is allowed
child labor privileges not
countenanced in another regi-
on where the same sort of
manufacturing is done it is OBJ
vious there will be a premium
on the use of children. Legis-
lation on this subject should
be national. If the constitu-
tion will not permit such legis-
lation now the constitution
should be amended in this par

conspired by their tragedies and suffer
ings to produce a state of mind in the
American people ready for explosion
when the next stimulus was applied. That
stimulus was a peculiarly violent one
In fact, it was a double shock Won Beth
mann-Hollweg announced the resumption
of ruthless submarine warfare, and Zim-
mermann's diplomatic dispatches were
intercepted in which he plotted for a
JOINT attack on the United States by
Mexico and Japan. At once the scales
fell from our eyes. Germany had forced
us into the war.
Up to this time the nation had been
divided. Germany's submarine campaign
united us. We did not want war: we
had put up with rebuffs and insults to
avoid war. But with the launching of
the piratieal and murderous submarines
against our commerce and citizens of
every nation of the globe the American
people finally recognized that in the pres
ence Of such terrorism son all the seven
seas 1t was impossible for us longer to
avoid the conflict from which we had
managed to hold aloof for three and thirty
months We recognized that the German
submarine warfare If successful would
annihilate our commerce and prevent the
business and social intercourse with the
peoples of other countries which in the
past bad contributed so potently to the
wealth, prosperity and happiness of the
people of the United States Nor was
that the whole story. nos perhaps even
the primary consideration that unified
our people and moved them to war against
Germany.
True to that idealism which Bryce rec.
ognized as the very soul of the American
people, but which Germans have never
been able to discern, we recognized that
the German system Of submarine war
fare, If successful. would be the destrue-
ton OF International law and of the prin

of the modern world had long rested As
