Nome.-Bruce Rogers, editor of the Nome Industrial Worker, was found guilty late yesterday after noon, by commissioners court Jury, of making seditious utterances through the columns of his paper. The trial lasted five days and the verdict Is regarded as clean cut victory for District Attorney Mundy, who conducted the prosecution. After numerous attorneys had re- fused to act as counsel for the de- fense, the commissioner ordered the whole Nome bar association to ap- pear for the editor, and vigorous defense was conducted.

PLAYING FAVoRITEs.

- On the same day congress passed
without roll call a bill to appropriate
a hundred million dollars to carry out
the farm loan plan, it promptly side
tracked a bill to loan the railroads the
same amount. This Is illustrative of
the attitude of the government toward
the railroads for the last twenty five
years. 1t is not the war which has
produced the present transportation
crisis, but railroad regulation and rail-
road batting, particularly during the
past decade.
There are some who are now saying
that if the government aids the rail-
roads it should own them. If that is
valid inference from government aid,
says Leslie's, it could be argued with
even greater force that the govern
ment, which aids the farmer, should
own the farms. 1t is a case of the
production of the necessities of life
compared with their transportation.
5ut, high as are the necessities of life,
farmer or a farmers organization
has never been known to argue that
the solution of the food problem is to
turn the farms over to the govern
ment.
Farmers have never been the object
of government regulation or attack,
but to help along the nations basic
industry the government is loaning
money to- farmers at a comparatively
low rate and for long periods. The
railroads are in their present state be-
cause of government attack, and it is
only right that the government should
get beneath them during, the critical
period of the war.

II Colonel Roosevelt or General
Goethals had been fuel administrator
either would have done as Doctor Car
field has done, but probably would
have done it sooner. In and out of
congress from time to time there have
been heard charges of inefficiency di-
rected at the administration from cab
inet members down. But as soon as a
man was found WHO would actually do
things in an efficient way a storm of
protest arose in the halls of congress
and in the editorial rooms of the met
ropolitan newspapers. What the coun-
try needs more than anything else at
this time is more Garfields.

AN UNUSED LABOR SUPPLY.

In this time of labor shortage there
appears an opportunity for utilizing
the services of the thousands of men
who are shut up in the prisons of the
country. One of the most pressing
needs of the country is improved high
ways. Labor for their construction
will be difficult to obtain and is need
ed elsewhere.
Many state and county administra
tons are utilizing prison labor in road
work. Governor Brous'h of Arkansas
has just announced that rs to 100 con-
victs will be used continuously on
road work in his state. "A sentiment is
growing in favor of imprisoning all
Migrants and placing them at work on
county highways. This method al
utilizing prison labor, where it is con-
Quoted under proper conditions, has
always had the endorsement CT the
national committee on prisons and
prison labor, and a provision for road
building has been Incorporated in
prison labo- bill submitted to congress.
An important feature of this bill is
that of requiring the payment of
wage to the prisoner. Such a wage
will make it possible for the prisoner
to contribute to the support of his de-
pendents and at the same time will
prevent unfair competition with free
labor. Thu passage of the bill will
give impetus to the movement for the
employment of prisoners in road work
and in other occupations affected by
the national emergency.
Ever since the United States entered
the war the demand for utilizing the
prison labor supply confined in the
penal and correctional institutions of
the country has steadily increased. Re
ports made to the national committee
on prisons and prison labor show that
the demand for this labor comes from
practically every organization which
has as it's purpose work related to the
prosecution of the war. National and
state food, tuel, freight, farm and fish
commissions are seeking prison labor
State and county commissions are
meeting to discuss the problem.

RAILROADS AFTER THE WAR.

Secretary McAdoo has made ii
| known that he hopes and expects that
the government will retain control of
the railroads for some time after the
close of the war. Certain it is, they
should not be thrown back on the
hands of their owners until some bet
ter provision for their continuing ex-
istence be made than was in evidence
at the time they were taken over.
1t would be absurd to assume that
the conclusion of peace will at once
restore the conditions under Which
competitive railway operation has
proved at least tolerably satisfactory,
We shall have problems of demobiliza-
ton equal in magnitude to the prob
lens of mobilization, except that time
will be a somewhat less serious consid-
Grafton. We shall need all our capital
and energy for the work of recon
struction, and this means that we shall
not be able to afford the wastes of
railway competition.
We may safely surmise, say the New
Republic, that the financial market at
the close of the war will not be favor
able to the flotation of large corpora
ton loans. Government securities will
be widely held in every country now
at war. and the habit of investment in
such securities will naturally be more
or less fixed, Corporation securities
will only gradually recover their place
in the market. 1t seems probable
therefore, that the railways will need
the support of government credit to
obtain cheaply the immense sums that
they will need in the period of recon
struction.
Until government aid can be pro-
vided thru proper legislation, there
fore. there seems to be nothing for
Uncle Sam to do but to continue to
manage the roads
